A Simple Photometer as a Helping Device in Measuring Blood Glucose

Measurement of non-invasive blood glucose is one way to increase the frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). For NIR reflectance spectroscopy, its application in non-invasive constrained by high value of standard error of prediction. The mean standard error of prediction was 25 mg/dL. Theoretically, NIR reflectance spectroscopy still can be used to predict blood glucose levels in certain conditions such as hypoglycemia (<55 mg/dL), controlled fasting blood glucose (FBG) (70-115 mg/dL), and hyperglycemia (>225 mg/dL), which the difference between the three conditions is more than 25 mg/dL. The results showed that there are significant differences in standards values of photometer measurement between controlled FBG and hyperglycemic conditions (P = 0.002). The results also showed that the photometer can be used to assist the monitoring of blood glucose in FBG under control and hyperglycemic conditions. It can be seen from the average percentage of the daily controlled FBG conditions in patients conducting SMBG in photometer-assisted compared to in patients only use SMBG once a day (28% versus 18%, P = 0.344)

BIOSYNTHESIS OF COPOLYMER POLY (3-HYDROXYBUTYRATE-CO-3-HYDROXYVALERATE) FROM PALM OIL AND N-PENTANOL IN A 10L BIOREACTOR

The production of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymer, P (3HB-co-3HV) from palm oil and a second carbon source by using bacteria Erwinia sp. USMI-20 in a 10L bioreactor has been done. Fermentation process was conducted through a single stage batch cultivation method under aerobic condition at pH 7.0, incubation temperature of 30 oC, and an agitation rate of 200 rpm for 66 hours. The production of the biopolymer was done from an initial growth on palm oil with a subsequent single feeding of n-pentanol. In this case, n-pentanol was used as a second carbon source to introduce the mole fraction of the 3-hydroxyvalerate, 3HV unit. The characterization of the polymer production was supported cell growth, polymer compound content and therefore the mole fraction of the 3-hydroxyvalerate unit. From this study, the composition of the polyester was noted to vary during the cultivation period. The highest amount of 3HV unit in the polyester at 48 hours of cultivation was 20 mole percent, the maximum amount of polymer content at 62.37 weight percent, biomass of 4.8 g/l and the maximum specific growth rate and specific polymer production were 0.401 hr-1 and 0.047 hr-1 respectively

Hubungan Pre dan Post Conference Keperawatan dengan Pelaksanaan Asuhan Keperawatan di RSUD Dr. Achmad Mochtar Bukittinggi Tahun 2015

There are several methods in nursing in providing care, one of the methods of his team. The team's method is applied by using a team of nurses who work heterogeneous, consisting of nurses propesional, and additional nurses to provide nursing care to a group of patients. According to the results of interviews with nurse researcher Dr. interne space RSAM Ahmad Mochtar Bukittinggi, Pre and conferences conducted with less than maximum conference, pre and post done not in accordance with the rules of the pre and post konferensi.Hal that affect nursing care given by nurses. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of the pre and post nursing conference with the implementation of nursing care in inpatient hospital interne Dr Achmad Mochtar Bukittinggi Year 2015. The study was conducted on 13 to 1 August 2015 with a descriptive correlation design. The number of samples in this study were 31 teams of nurses with a total sampling sampling techniques, the instrument uses the observation sheet. From the analysis results obtained value of p = 0.01 (p <0.05), which showed a significant relationship between the pre-conference with the implementation of nursing care with OR = 12.80. There is a relationship between pre-conference with the implementation of nursing care with 12,800.Dari opportunities analysis results obtained value of p = 0.013 (p <0.05), which showed a significant relationship between post-conference with the implementation of nursing care with OR = 20 o'clock there is a relationship between post conference with the implementation of nursing care at the hospital is expected 20,00.untuk opportunity to follow standard operating procedures in providing nursing car
