The Prediction Potential Areas of Catching Cakalang (Katsuwonus Pelamis) Based on Chlorophyll-a Distribution Using Satellite Image Npp Viirs in West Sumatra Waters

The purpose of this studywas to determine the potential area for catchingcakalang (Katsuwonuspelamis) based on the distribution of chlorophyll-a satellite image of the NPP VIIRS in West Sumatra Waters by 2013. The methods used in this study are a survey method and spatial analysis. The results of this studysuggest that the location of the fishing ground cakalang by 2013 is at position 00 25 \u27 48 " N – 50 34 \u27 48" S and 950 25 \u27 23 " E-1000 57 \u27 E. Distribution of chlorophyll-a who analyzed satellite images of NPP VIIRS between 0.13-0.26 mg/m3 whereas maximum CPUE as much as 0,1875 kg/trip in April. Correlation between chlorophyll-a and CPUE have strong relationship i.e. 0.60 while the influence of these variables both 36% among other factors. The resulting regression equation both of these variables showed that the increasing chlorophyll-a caused the decline of the CPUE

Studi Fisikokimia Betasianin dalam Kulit Buah Naga dan Aplikasinya sebagai Pewarna Merah Alami Sediaan Farmasi: Physicochemical Study Of Betacyanin From Dragon Fruit Rind And Its Application AS Natural Dye For Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

The rind of dragon fruit (Hylocereus lemairel (Hook.) Britton & Rose) is a waste material that has not been optimally utilized. The rind contains betacyanin pigment that has many benefits in pharmaceutical products. The study aimed to characterize the physicochemical properties, to evaluate the stability and to apply betacyanin in dragon fruit rind as a natural dye. The extraction process was done by using water as solvent which was sonicated at 50 kHz for 30 minutes at 25 °C. Extract was freeze dried for 48 hours. The dried extract was purified by using preparative TLC and physicochemically analyzed by using UV-Vis and FTIR spectrophotometer. The stability of betacyanin extract against pH and temperature was examined and applied as a dye in tablet imprinting. The result of this study indicated that betacyanin was found at Rf value of 0.6 same as the betacyanin standard. The maximum wavelength of betacyanin was obtained at 534 nm and the IR spectra showed similarity with betacyanin standard with the same functional groups between 4000-600 cm-1 although there was a slight shift in the wavenumber but it still in the range. The stability study were stable at temperature below 40 °C and at range pH 4-6. Betacyanin applications as natural dye of tablet have been successfully carried out with good color stability during 3 months of storage at room temperature

BEHAVIOR OF MOTHER IN COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING OF EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING IN INFANTS 0-6 MONTHS IN PETOBO LOWER DISTRICT OF PALU SELATAN

Ifana Audina. Perilaku Ibu Dalam Pemberian Makanan Pendamping ASI Pada Bayi 0-6 Bulan Di Kelurahan Petobo Kecamatan Palu Selatan (dibawah bimbingan Herman Kurniawan dan Abd. Rahman). Peminatan Promosi Kesehatan Program Studi Kesehatan Masyarakat Fakultas Kedokteran dan Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Tadulako Skripsi, November 2016 Makanan Pendamping Air Susu Ibu (MP-ASI) adalah pemberian makanan dan minuman yang mengandung gizi diberikan kepada bayi mulai umur 6-24 bulan. Cakupan ASI Eksklusif terendah Dinas kesehatan Kota Palu tahun 2014 adalah Puskesmas Bulili 37,37% namun pencapaian tersebut masih dibawah target nasional yaitu 80%. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran perilaku ibu dalam memberikan makanan pendamping ASI (MP-ASI) pada bayi 0-6 Bulan di Kelurahan Petobo Kecamatan Palu Selatan. Waktu penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli-Agustus 2016. Jenis Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan tentang MP-ASI masih kurang dikarenakan ibu jarang mendapat informasi kesehatan, dari 12 informan biasa (ibu yang memiliki bayi 0-6 bulan) 7 orang belum mengetahui dampak pemberian MP-ASI terlalu dini seperti terserang diare, sembelit dan batuk pilek. Terkait sikap dan tindakan ibu 8 orang memberikan MP-ASI terlalu dini karena produksi ASI yang kurang, puting ASI tidak keluar dan tuntutan pekerjaan sehingga tidak ada waktu untuk menyusui bayinya. Penyuluhan tentang ASI Eksklusif dan MP-ASI sangat kurang dilakukan oleh petugas kesehatan selain itu perlunya dukungan keluarga terutama suami dalam mengingatkan ibu menyusui. Disarankan untuk lebih meningkatkan sosialisasi tentang ASI Eksklusif dan MP-ASI secara rutin serta meningkatkan pengawasan dan membuat kebijakan tertulis di Puskesmas Bulili. Kata Kunci : Makanan Pendamping ASI, ASI Eksklusi

Prophylactic Scleral Buckle Implantation in Knobloch Syndrome

Knobloch syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a triad of high myopia, vitreoretinal degeneration, and congenital occipital scalp defects. On literature review of all reported cases, 25 of 85 eyes (29%) of patients diagnosed as having Knobloch syndrome have suffered retinal detachment. Due to high myopia, surgical repair of the retinal detachment is challenging and patients frequently require several reoperations. Even after vitrectomy or scleral buckle for retinal detachment, the final visual acuity outcomes are poor, with 11 of 12 (92%) patients having 20/ 200 visual acuity or worse and 6 of 12 (50%) having counting fingers visual acuity or worse. The role of retinal detachment prophylaxis has been discussed for other vitreoretinal degeneration disorders, but not for this disease. The authors report the case of a child affected with Knobloch syndrome who presented with total retinal detachment in the left eye at 24 months of age. He underwent successful repair and was then treated with prophylactic scleral buckle implantation in the right eye 5 months later. The retina in both of his eyes remains attached 4 years later

Laser flare photometry and complications of chronic uveitis in children

To investigate possible relationships between laser flare photometry values, complications of uveitis, and outcomes in children with chronic uveitis. Retrospective chart review. We evaluated patients with active, noninfectious anterior, intermediate, or panuveitis who were 16 years of age or younger and who had laser flare photometry at one of two academic institutions. Complications enumerated at baseline and during follow-up were compared with laser flare photometry values and to anterior chamber cell counts. At least one laser flare photometry value ("flare"), defined as baseline measurement, was available for 59 patients (41 girls, 18 boys; mean age, 10.3 +/- 3.5 years); 38 of these patients had at least one additional measurement during follow-up (median 11 months). Complications of uveitis were present in 35 patients (59%) at baseline. There was a positive association between increased laser flare photometry values and complications at baseline (any complication [P =.007], posterior synechiae [P =.003]). The development of complications during follow-up was associated with the presence of complications at baseline (P =.018). A subgroup of patients with low flare at baseline had no complications during follow-up regardless of treatment given. There is a positive relationship between laser flare photometry values and the prevalence of complications of uveitis in children. Laser flare photometry provides a novel way to monitor children with uveitis. Future study will be needed to determine whether values have prognostic importance and whether a treatment strategy that minimizes flare results in fewer uveitic complications

Fluorescein angiography findings in diffuse retinoblastoma: two case reports with clinicopathologic correlation

Whereas most retinoblastomas are seen as intraocular tumors, the diffuse infiltrating type is distinguished by a horizontal growth along the retina with minimal vertical growth. These findings can resemble other entities and present as a diagnostic challenge. Fluorescein angiography (FA) features of retinoblastoma have been described in the literature; however, to our knowledge, little information is available on the diffuse type. We present FA findings and the clinicopathlogic correlation of 2 patients with diffuse retinoblastoma. Changes observed on FA correlate with the vascular changes observed on histopathology and can therefore be helpful in the diagnosis of atypical retinoblastomas when the clinical presentation is equivocal
