Diagnosis and Treatment of Ewing Sarcoma

Ewing's sarcoma is a Malignant small round cell neoplasm that mostly affects the young age on the body axis and long bones. The incidence is quite rare yet it is notorious for its poor prognosis. Certain characteristics of the patient could determine the prognosis. Diagnosis is often made late due to the deep situated mass or the axial situated mass. Imaging beginning from plain radiograph to CT and MRI is necessary to support the diagnosis and determine the stage of the disease. Diagnosis establishment still requires histopathological examination now supported with spesific immnuohistochemistry staining. Histopathological results could also be used to evaluate prognosis in the form of response towards chemotherapy. Management of Ewing's sarcoma requires systemic chemotherapy combined with surgery or radiotherapy for local control. Chemotherapy protocols for Ewing's sarcoma is continuously developed for intensification using supportive modality treatment advancements. Local control on Ewing's sarcoma is performed by combining surgery and radiotherapy. The defect after surgery can now be reconstructed to increase the quality of life

Effectiveness of first-aid training in school among high school students in Kulon Progo, Indonesia

Background: The cardiovascular disease was the main cause of death throughout the world. The first aid that should be taken by the first responder or witness was an important part in the chain of survival out of the hospital that could improve the prognosis and avoid the rest of the symptoms. Hence, it is important for common people to know and possess the skill, especially the cardiopulmonary resuscitation, to handle the emergency situation. Schools became the appropriate place to organize the first-aid training because the students were more conditioned in emotional, social and cultural terms.Methods: This study utilized the quasi-experiment method. The total number of subjects was 124 students who studied in Kalibawang 1st State Senior High School, and in Samigaluh 1st State Senior High School, both of them school is located in Kulon Progo district, Indonesia. The subjects were divided into three groups using three different methods, namely lecturing-discussion, poster demonstration, and audio-visual media.Results: The pre-test and post-test results showed that there was a knowledge improvement after the training using the lecturing (p=0.000), poster (p=0.000) and audio-visual methods (p=0.000). The cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills in the lecturing (p=0.000), poster (p=0.000) and audio-visual methods (p=0.000) groups showed the improvement after the first-aid training in school.Conclusions: This study proved that the first-aid training in the school gave effect on the improvement of the knowledge and skill in handling the emergency situation, particularly the cardiac arrest through cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Hubungan Kekerabatan Jamur Pelapuk Putih Pleurotus Spp. Dengan Analisis Isoenzim

Pleurotus spp. is anedible mushroom commonly found on stem of wide leaftrees or other wooden plants in the forest. A number ofPleurotus species are found in Indonesia, and some of themhave been cultivated. An accurate technique is needed toidentify the species of Pleurotus correctly; one of the methodis the isoenzyme technique. Apart from its simplicity, cheapnessand quickness, this method also gives accurate informationon phylogenetic relationship among the Pleurotusspp. The technique was used to determine phylogeneticrelationship in 6 isolates of Pleurotus spp., i.e., Pleurotussp.8, Pleurotus sp.6, Pleurotus sp.1, Pleurotus sp.7, andPleurotus sp.9, using the GOT System. Results of the analysisindicated that all the Pleurotus isolates tested produced twobands with similar thickness, except for Pleurotus sp.1 thatproduced one band that move to the cathode (-). Anotherisolate of Pleurotus spp. produced bands tend to move to theanode (+). The genetic distances between Pleurotus sp.8was similar to that of Pleurotus sp.9, while that of Pleurotussp.6 was similar to Pleurotus sp.7. Genetic distances ofPleurotus sp.8 or Pleurotus sp.9 was similar to Pleurotus sp.6or Pleurotus sp.7, with the longest distance on Pleurotussp.1. Pleurotus sp.1 showed a different migration distance,where one of the isoenzym band tend to move to thecathode (-). This indicated that Pleurotus sp.1 has differentphylogenetic relationship with the other Pleurotus spp
