Penatalaksanaan Fisioterapi Pada Kasus Asma Bronchiale Di Balai Pengobatan Penyakit Paru-Paru (BP4) Yogyakarta

Backgroud: asthma is a common respiratory disease that is characterized by multiple symptoms of shortness of breath, followed by a wheezing sound. the problem of physiotherapy in astmha are shortness of breath, wheezing, cough and sputum expenditure (Putri and soemarmo, 2012). Objective: to know the management of physiotherapy to reduce shortness of breath, a sputum sample, increasing the peak expiratory flow and normalize breathing patterns with modalities nebulizer and diafragmatic breathing exercise. Methods: A case study by administering nebulizer and diafragmatic breathing exercise after 6 times obtained results. Results: after the therapy 6 times showed a reducation in breathlessness T1: 8cm into T6: 4cm, auscultation sputum T1: weezing and ronchi loud sounds become T6: weezing sound and ronchi slowly, improved peak expiratory flow T1: 120 liters/min became T6: 280 liters/min, breathing patterns T1: pursed lips breathing becomes T6: do not use the pursed lips already breatjing when breathing. Conclusion: nebulizer and diafragmatic breathing exercise can reduce breathlessness, sputum helps expenses, increase peak expiratory flow and noemalize breathing patterns

The NIDDK Information Network: A Community Portal for Finding Data, Materials, and Tools for Researchers Studying Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases

The NIDDK Information Network (dkNET; http://dknet.org) was launched to serve the needs of basic and clinical investigators in metabolic, digestive and kidney disease by facilitating access to research resources that advance the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). By research resources, we mean the multitude of data, software tools, materials, services, projects and organizations available to researchers in the public domain. Most of these are accessed via web-accessible databases or web portals, each developed, designed and maintained by numerous different projects, organizations and individuals. While many of the large government funded databases, maintained by agencies such as European Bioinformatics Institute and the National Center for Biotechnology Information, are well known to researchers, many more that have been developed by and for the biomedical research community are unknown or underutilized. At least part of the problem is the nature of dynamic databases, which are considered part of the "hidden" web, that is, content that is not easily accessed by search engines. dkNET was created specifically to address the challenge of connecting researchers to research resources via these types of community databases and web portals. dkNET functions as a "search engine for data", searching across millions of database records contained in hundreds of biomedical databases developed and maintained by independent projects around the world. A primary focus of dkNET are centers and projects specifically created to provide high quality data and resources to NIDDK researchers. Through the novel data ingest process used in dkNET, additional data sources can easily be incorporated, allowing it to scale with the growth of digital data and the needs of the dkNET community. Here, we provide an overview of the dkNET portal and its functions. We show how dkNET can be used to address a variety of use cases that involve searching for research resources

Performance of Bio-Based polymeric agricultural mulch films

In order to improve yields and crop traits, polymeric films are commonly used to cover soils like agricultural mulches. Its use provides important benefits to farmers and the environment, as they maintain humidity, temperature and prevent the growth of weeds. However, the most widely used mulches are mainly made of low-density polyethylene. The use of PE films or other non-biodegradable polymers present great environmental and economic disadvantages for responsible farmers, who must remove them before the next crop period. The objective of this chapter is to discuss the main properties presented by the biodegradable and bio-based materials that have recently been proposed for this application, what is their effect on the yields of different crops in which they have been tested, as well as their biodegradation time and their effect on the soil quality will also be analyzed. Finally, based on these findings and the recently approved new standard for biodegradable agricultural mulches, the materials that will set trends in the future will be remarked.Fil: Merino, Danila.
