In handling Drop Foot due to leprosy, Prosthetic Orthotics can provide services in the form of ortosis, namely Sandal Drop Foot, which aims to reduce the drop foot in the ankle joint caused by a decrease in flexor dorsal muscle tone. Sampling is done by purposive sampling. The sample count consisted of 10 drop foot sufferers due to leprosy at Sumberglagah Mojokerto Leprosy Hospital. The instrument used is Rivermead Visual Gait Assessment form, video gait analysis equipment (handycam, goniometre, stationery). Drop Foot sandals have a big effect on leprosy patients who experience drop foot in improving road patterns compared to without when using Drop foot sandals. Drop foot sandals are sutu aids or correction tools to prevent prolonged drop foot or prevent further disability, but can not cure and restore normal in people with drop foot due to leprosy. The purpose of this study is to find out the Effect of Using Drop Foot Sandals On Improving Road Patterns of People With Drop Foot Due to Leprosy. This study uses the research design" Quasi experiment pre post test with out control design" one groups pre and post design, where in this study there is only one group of conscientious subjects who will be measured the pattern of the path before and after being given treatment. From the alternative test Wilcoxon obtained a value of significance with a value of p = 0.004, because p < 0.05, it can be said that there is an effect on the use of Drop Foot Sandals on improving the road pattern of drop foot sufferers due to leprosy

Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) is the most common intestinal parasific infection and in one of the contributors to the global disease burden. Diagnosis of Soil Transmitted Helminth desease can be done using sedimentation method and natif method. This study aims to find out the differences in sedimentation methods and natif methods in deteting Soil Transmitted Helminth Type of research conducted ind true experimental form. This research was conducted on March 27-29, 2021 at the Microbiology Laboratory of Muhammadiyah Institute of Health and Technology Palembang which numbered 35 respondents. The results obtained in this study were as many as 2 positive samples and 33 negative samples. In sample 1 there are 2 types of eggs Soil Transmitted Helminth namely eggs Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura on sedimentation method and natif method, while in sample 5 there are eggs Ascaris lumbricoides only on the natif method. The results of the research data were conduted using an alternative test Wilcoxon with a value of P = 0.317 means there is no difference that signifikan.the conclusion of this study was obtained by the examination that there is no difference in sedimentation with natiif method.

Abstract Purpose This study examined adherence to screening for fecal immunochemical test (FIT). Methods Adults (≥ 50–75) with a FIT between 1/1/2014 and 6/30/2019 in MarketScan administrative claims were selected (index = earliest FIT). Patients were followed for 10 years pre- and 3 years post-index. Patients at increased risk for CRC or with prior screening were excluded. Year over year adherence was measured post-index. Results Of 10,253 patients, the proportion adherent to repeat testing at year 2 was 23.4% and 10.6% at year 3. Of 76.6% not adherent in year 2, 5.4% were adherent in year 3. Conclusion Results suggest adherence to FIT tests is poor, minimizing potential benefits. Future studies are needed to consider alternative test options and whether more choice will improve long-term adherence.

Abstract Pangandaran Regency is a strategic area that supports various economic and social activities. However, the existence of this strategic area is threatened by the potential of tsunami disaster, especially from the megathrust along the South Coast of Java Island. One of the efforts to enhance tsunami preparedness is to conduct evacuation plan and drill. Based on previous tsunami occurrence, it is known that success of evacuation during disaster is still limited by lack of community knowledge, preparedness, and limited infrastructure such as informative evacuation route maps, evacuation signs and proper evacuation sites. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify people's behavior in carrying out evacuations and actual condition of the current evacuation infrastructure which is later be used to obtain comprehensive information as the basis for evacuation plans preparation. This study aims to disseminate questionnaires to 174 respondents in Pangandaran Tourism Area and map tsunami evacuation infrastructure. This study shows a high awareness of tsunami hazards, in which 82% of respondents choose to evacuate after experiencing an earthquake or getting an early tsunami warning. In addition to the result, some respondents still do not know the route or evacuation site. Uninformed shelter destination and route choice result in potential congestion on the main roads, which slows evacuation by compromising survival rates. Three Pangandaran official TES can accommodate approximately 11,900 people, while the capacity of alternative TES if utilized 100% can accommodate 21,291 people. This indicates that the official TES and the new Alternative TEST can accommodate the villagers and some of tourists if the number of tourists reaches the maximum. Therefore, the existing building can be utilized as Temporary Evacuation Sites. Furthermore, there is a call to evacuation signs maintenance, in which some signs are currently in inappropriate condition such as damaged or show misleading information.

Association Between Flamm Geiger Score And The Success Of Vaginal Delivery. Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) is vaginal delivery on woman with history of cesarean delivery. A statement by Cragin (1916),  “Once a cesarean, always a cesarean”, has been a growing paradigm in the community which makes VBAC not a common practice. Flamm Geiger Scoring System is used to predict the likelihood of success in VBAC. The purpose of this research was to find out the association between Flamm Geiger score and the success of vaginal delivery. This research was an analytic observational study with cross sectional design. The population of this research were all patients that underwent delivery in dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang from January to December  2014 and  the sample were all delivering patient with history of cesarean delivery.The data were taken from patient’s medical record and analyzed using Chi Square test or its alternative test (Fisher’s Exact Test). From 92 samples, there were 25 patients (27,2%) succeeded in undergoing VBAC and 67 patients (72,8%) delivered with repeated cesarean. There was an increasing probability for a successful VBAC ranging from 0% in samples with a score of 0-2 to 100% in samples with a score of 8-10. The result showed that there was an association between Flamm Geiger score and the success of vaginal delivery (p=0,000). There is association between Flamm Geiger score and the success of vaginal delivery in dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang from January to December  2014.

AbstractThe fish embryo acute toxicity (FET) test with the zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo according to OECD TG 236 was originally developed as an alternative test method for acute fish toxicity testing according to, e.g., OECD TG 203. Given the versatility of the protocol, however, the FET test has found application beyond acute toxicity testing as a common tool in environmental hazard and risk assessment. Whereas the standard OECD guideline is restricted to four core endpoints (coagulation as well as lack of somite formation, heartbeat, and tail detachment) for simple, rapid assessment of acute toxicity, further endpoints can easily be integrated into the FET test protocol. This has led to the hypothesis that an extended FET test might allow for the identification of different classes of toxicants via a “fingerprint” of morphological observations. To test this hypothesis, the present study investigated a set of 18 compounds with highly diverse modes of action with respect to acute and sublethal endpoints. Especially at higher concentrations, most observations proved toxicant-unspecific. With decreasing concentrations, however, observations declined in number, but gained in specificity. Specific observations may at best be made at test concentrations ≤ EC10. The existence of a “fingerprint” based on morphological observations in the FET is, therefore, highly unlikely in the range of acute toxicity, but cannot be excluded for experiments at sublethal concentrations.
