Potensi Keanekaragaman Satwaliar Untuk Pengembangan Ekowisata Di Laboratorium Lapangan Konservasi Sumberdaya Hutan Dan Ekowisata Hutan Pendidikan Unhas

This study aims to determine the potential of wildlife diversity that can be developed as an ecotourism attraction in the Field Laboratory of Forest Resources Conservation and Ecotourism, Unhas Educational Forest. The data was collected by survey method using the line transect method and concentration point count method. Data were analyzed to determine the ecological indices, ie; Richness Indices, Evenness Indices, and Diversity Indices. The results showed that Field Laboratory of Forest Resources Conservation and Ecotourism, have the wild life of mammals, birds, insects, reptiles and frogs that have the potential to be used in the development of ecotourism. The wildlife to be developed as an ecotourism attraction, are the Sulawesi Black Monkey, Tarsier, Couscous, Sulawesi Civets, Deer and Wild Boar, as well as a variety of birds, reptiles and frogs

Prognostic assessment of 1310 patients with non–small-cell lung cancer who underwent complete resection from 1980 to 1993

AbstractObjective: The TNM staging system of lung cancer is widely used as a guide for estimating prognosis and selecting treatment modality. In 1997, the International Union Against Cancer and the American Joint Committee on Cancer have adopted a revised stage grouping for lung cancer. However, the validity of the new stage grouping has not been fully established. We investigated the prognoses of patients who had resection of non–small-cell lung cancer to confirm the validity of the revised classification. Methods: A total of 1310 patients with non–small-cell lung cancer underwent complete resection and pathologic staging of the disease in our hospitals from 1980 through 1993. A pulmonary resection was performed with a systematic nodal dissection. The survivals were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method on the basis of overall deaths, and the survival curves were compared by log rank test. Results: There were significant differences in survival between patients with T1 N0 M0 and T2 N0 M0 disease and between those with T1 N1 M0 and T2 N1 M0 disease. However, there was no significant difference between patients with T2 N0 M0 disease and those with T1 N1 M0 disease. No significant difference in survival was observed among patients with T2 N1 M0, T3 N0 M0, and T3 N1 M0 cancer. Patients with different invaded organs of T3 subdivision (pleura, chest wall, pericardium, or diaphragm) had a different prognosis. There was no significant difference between patients with T3 N2 M0 disease and those with stage IIIB disease. Conclusions: We supported most of the revision, such as dividing stage I, dividing stage II, and putting T3 N0 M0 to stage IIB. Furthermore, we found some candidates for a subsequent revision, such as putting T3 N1 M0 to stage IIB, putting T2 N0 M0 and T1 N1 M0 together, regarding diaphragm invasion as T4, and putting T3 N2 M0 to stage IIIB.

Successful Treatment of Bronchial Fistula after Pulmonary Lobectomy by Endobronchial Embolization Using an Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot

A bronchial fistula is one of the most serious complications that can occur following pulmonary lobectomy. We herein report a case of bronchial fistula that was successfully treated by endobronchial embolization using an Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot (EWS). A 72-year-old male underwent right lower lobectomy of the lung with nodal dissection for a pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma. A bronchial fistula developed 53 days after surgery. Tube drainage was performed, and air leakage was apparent. Under endoscopic observation, intrathoracic injection of indigo carmine revealed that a fistula existed at the peripheral site of the B2ai bronchus. After one EWS (small) was inserted into the B2a bronchus tightly using a bronchoscope, the air leakage was stopped. Pleurodesis was further carried out, the thoracostomy tube was subsequently removed, and the patient was discharged. Endobronchial embolization using an EWS is an option for the treatment of a bronchial fistula after pulmonary resection
