Pemanfaatan Sansevieria Tanaman Hias Penyerap Polutan Sebagai Upaya Mengurangi Pencemaran Udara Di Kota Semarang

Pencemaran udara merupakan masalah yang selalu ada di kota-kota besar, salah satunya kota Semarang. Sebagai ibukota Provinsi Jawa Tengah, kota tersebut berkembang pesat, baik dalam bidang transportasi maupun industrinya. Kota Semarang pun terus membangun berbagai macam fasilitas perkotaan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Semakin bertambahnya jumlah kendaraan bermotor dan industri meningkatkan pencemaran udara di kota Semarang. Pencemaran udara dapat mempengaruhi lingkungan seperti meningkatnya suhu udara dan mengakibatkan global warming. Selain itu, pencemaran udara juga mengganggu kesehatan manusia yaitu gangguan pernapasan serta ganngguan penglihatan. Pencemaran udara juga dapat meningkatkan kejadian ISPA. Solusi yang pernah dilakukan pemerintah yaitu membuat Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH). Kesadaran dan kemauan Pemerintah sangat baik untuk mewujudkan RTH, tetapi kemampuan untuk merawat serta mempertahankan kurang maksimal. Pemilihan jenis tanaman perlu dipertimbangkan. Diperlukan solusi yang tepat untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, yaitu dengan memanfaatkan Sansevieria. Sansevieria merupakan tanaman hias yang memiliki bentuk unik dan memiliki manfaat dapat menyerap karbon monoksida, karbon dioksida, asap rokok dan gas beracun lainnya. Seluruh komponen pemerintah perlu mendukung ide ini dan mengimplementasikannya, diharapkan dapat mengurangi pencemaran udara di kota Semarang, sehingga tercipta kota Semarang bersih, sehat, nyaman dan inda

Селективний вибір схеми внутрішньочеревної гіпертермічної хіміоперфузії при раку яєчників

Рак яєчників посідає шосте місце за захворюваністю жінок на злоякісні новоутворення в Україні та світі. Більшість смертельних випадків при раку яєчників (> 80%) спричинена канцероматозом черевної порожнини. Згідно з багатьма клінічними дослідженнями, комбінація циторедуктивної хірургії з внутрішньочеревною гіпертермічною хіміоперфузією має перевагу над традиційними методами лікування. Метою дослідження було вивчення ефективності селективного підбору хіміотерапевтичних препаратів для проведення ВЧТГХП, виходячи з BRCA1 та HER2 статусу. Для лікування запропонованим способом було відібрано 18 жінок із раком яєчників. Серед них 6 (33,3 %) із вперше виявленим раком яєчників, 12 (66,7 %) – з рецидивами

Intraoperative platelet rich plasma injection for improvement of continence recovery after radical prostatectomy in locally advanced prostate cancer patients. Experimental research and preliminary clinical results

The functional results of the radical prostatectomy (RPE) in locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) are worse because the nerve sparing technique do not use. The stricture of the vesicourethral anastomosis is detected in 7.5 - 14% cases (Wang R. et al, 2012), about 17% patients have incontinence after surgery in pT3 prostate cancer. The trophic decoders result in scars surround of the vesicourethral anastomosis that might be one of cause of the incontinence. Regenerative technology such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) can improve the trophic properties of the tissue. Objective. The aim was to study the influence of the PRP injections on morphological changers of the urethral anastomosis on an experimental animal model. Then the first experience of the intraoperative PRP injection in vesicourethral anastomosis area during RPE in pT3a-pT3b PCa was assessed

Lumbar puncture patient video increases knowledge and reduces uncertainty: An RCT

Background: Patients often perceive a lumbar puncture (LP) as an invasive procedure. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a 3-minute educational animation-video explaining the LP procedure, on patients’ knowledge, uncertainty, anxiety, and post-LP complications. Methods: We included 203 newly referred memory clinic patients, who were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) home viewing of the video, (2) clinic viewing of the video, or (3) control condition (care as usual). Participants completed questionnaires measuring knowledge as information recall, uncertainty, anxiety, and post-LP complications, the latter when patients underwent an LP procedure (n = 145). Results: Viewing the video increased information recall for both home (P <.001), and clinic viewers (P <.001) compared to controls. Levels of uncertainty decreased after viewing (Pfor interaction=.044), particularly for clinic viewers. Viewing the video or not did not affect anxiety and post-LP complications. Discussion: Preparing individuals for an LP by means of an educational video can help to increase knowledge about the procedure and reduce feelings of uncertainty
