    ABSTRACTBurn wound is damaged tissue caused by contact with a heat source which causes infection, so needed some drug for this burn wound. Ointment is a pharmaceutical dosage form used on the skin which is intended for topical effect. In African leaves or Vernonia amygdalina  which has many chemical contents and useful effects. This study aimed to test the quality preparation of ointments made from African leaves ethanol extract with hydrocarbon and absorption and its effect on burn wound in rabbits in order to find out effective ointment base for burn wound. The procedures applied were to dry the samples and extract them by maceration. After that, the samples were soaked using ethanol and diaterbath to obtain their thick extract. Later, the base ointment was mixed with thick extract using hot mortar, and tested for its physical properties and effectiveness of burn wound. The results showed that the hydrocarbon and absorbtion ointment base has good quality except for absorption’s poor distribution capacity due to its small dispersive power. African leaves extract ointment with hydrocarbon base and absorption has good quality preparations except for the absorption base’ dispersion power for due to its small dispersive power. To conclude, this study proves that the African leaf extract ointment with hydrocarbon base is very effective for burn wound healing. Key Words: African Leaves, Burn Wound, Ointment. ABSTRAKLuka bakar merupakan rusaknya jaringan yang disebabkan kontak dengan sumber panas yang dapat menimbulkan infeksi, maka dari itu dibutuhkan sediaan yang dapat menangani luka bakar tersebut.

Pada daun Afrika (Vernonia amygdalina) dapat ditemukan banyak kandungan kimia dan efek yang baik juga. Pada penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji salep ekstrak etanol daun Afrika dengan basis hidrokarbon dan absorbsi terhadap sediaan mutu dan juga terhadap luka bakar pada kelinci kemudian menemukan basis salep yang efektif untuk luka bakar. Sampel dikeringkan dan diekstraksi secara maserasi dan direndam menggunakan etanol dan diwaterbath untuk mendapatkan ekstrak kental, bahan basis salep dicampurkan dengan ekstrak kental menggunakan mortar panas, diuji sifat fisik dan efektifitas terhadap luka bakar. Basis hidrokarbon sangat efektif untuk luka bakar. Untuk basis hidrokarbon bersifat melunakkan lapisan kulit karena occlusive sehingga akan meningkatkan hidratasi kulit dengan menghambat penguapan air pada lapisan kulit, akibat hidratasi lapisan kulit, mungkin juga akan meningkatkan aktivitas obat. Absorbsi menunjukkan kemampuan basis dalam menyerap air, bukan kemampuan obat diabsorpsi oleh kulit. Salep ekstrak daun Afrika dengan basis hidrokarbon dan absorbsi memiliki sediaan mutu yang baik kecuali pada bagian daya sebar untuk basis absorbsi karena memiliki hasil daya sebar yang kecil, basis hidrokarbon salep ekstrak daun Afrika sangat efektif terhadap penyembuhan luka bakar. Kata Kunci: Daun Afrika, Luka Bakar, Salep

    Measurement Properties of Questionnaires Assessing Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use in Pediatrics: A Systematic Review

    Get PDF
    Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is commonly used by children, but estimates of that use vary widely partly due to the range of questionnaires used to assess CAM use. However, no studies have attempted to appraise measurement properties of these questionnaires. The aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise and summarize measurement properties of questionnaires of CAM use in pediatrics.A search strategy was implemented in major electronic databases in March 2011 and conference websites, scientific journals and experts were consulted. Studies were included if they mentioned a questionnaire assessing the prevalence of CAM use in pediatrics. Members of the team independently rated the methodological quality of the studies (using the COSMIN checklist) and measurement properties of the questionnaires (using the Terwee and Cohen criteria).A total of 96 CAM questionnaires were found in 104 publications. The COSMIN checklist showed that no studies reported adequate methodological quality. The Terwee criteria showed that all included CAM questionnaires had indeterminate measurement properties. According to the Cohen score, none were considered to be a well-established assessment, two approached the level of a well-established assessment, seven were promising assessments and the remainder (n = 87) did not reach the score's minimum standards.None of the identified CAM questionnaires have been thoroughly validated. This systematic review highlights the need for proper validation of CAM questionnaires in pediatrics, which may in turn lead to improved research and knowledge translation about CAM in clinical practice

    The evolving SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Africa: Insights from rapidly expanding genomic surveillance

    Get PDF
    INTRODUCTION Investment in Africa over the past year with regard to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sequencing has led to a massive increase in the number of sequences, which, to date, exceeds 100,000 sequences generated to track the pandemic on the continent. These sequences have profoundly affected how public health officials in Africa have navigated the COVID-19 pandemic. RATIONALE We demonstrate how the first 100,000 SARS-CoV-2 sequences from Africa have helped monitor the epidemic on the continent, how genomic surveillance expanded over the course of the pandemic, and how we adapted our sequencing methods to deal with an evolving virus. Finally, we also examine how viral lineages have spread across the continent in a phylogeographic framework to gain insights into the underlying temporal and spatial transmission dynamics for several variants of concern (VOCs). RESULTS Our results indicate that the number of countries in Africa that can sequence the virus within their own borders is growing and that this is coupled with a shorter turnaround time from the time of sampling to sequence submission. Ongoing evolution necessitated the continual updating of primer sets, and, as a result, eight primer sets were designed in tandem with viral evolution and used to ensure effective sequencing of the virus. The pandemic unfolded through multiple waves of infection that were each driven by distinct genetic lineages, with B.1-like ancestral strains associated with the first pandemic wave of infections in 2020. Successive waves on the continent were fueled by different VOCs, with Alpha and Beta cocirculating in distinct spatial patterns during the second wave and Delta and Omicron affecting the whole continent during the third and fourth waves, respectively. Phylogeographic reconstruction points toward distinct differences in viral importation and exportation patterns associated with the Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron variants and subvariants, when considering both Africa versus the rest of the world and viral dissemination within the continent. Our epidemiological and phylogenetic inferences therefore underscore the heterogeneous nature of the pandemic on the continent and highlight key insights and challenges, for instance, recognizing the limitations of low testing proportions. We also highlight the early warning capacity that genomic surveillance in Africa has had for the rest of the world with the detection of new lineages and variants, the most recent being the characterization of various Omicron subvariants. CONCLUSION Sustained investment for diagnostics and genomic surveillance in Africa is needed as the virus continues to evolve. This is important not only to help combat SARS-CoV-2 on the continent but also because it can be used as a platform to help address the many emerging and reemerging infectious disease threats in Africa. In particular, capacity building for local sequencing within countries or within the continent should be prioritized because this is generally associated with shorter turnaround times, providing the most benefit to local public health authorities tasked with pandemic response and mitigation and allowing for the fastest reaction to localized outbreaks. These investments are crucial for pandemic preparedness and response and will serve the health of the continent well into the 21st century
