Correlation of CD4 and Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy in HivAids Patients

Infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has developed into one of the most important health problems in the world. Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) is the most common complication of peripheral neuropathy in HIV-AIDS. Risk factors associated with DSP are elderly, stage of HIV disease, (cluster differential-4) CD4 count, and high plasma viral load in plasma. To analyze the relationship between CD4 and distal sensory polyneuropathy in HIV-AIDS patients. Subjects of the study examined the degree of severity of distal sensory polyneuropathy by examination of the Surface Nerve Surgical Nerve Speed, then divided into case group and control group. After that, the subjects performed a CD4 count examination. Data analysis using chi-square test. Most body mass index (BMI) subjects did not experience malnutrition by 35% of case group and 35% control group (p = 1.000). Most subjects aged ?40 years were 37.5% of case group and 25% control group (p = 0.102). Analysis of CD4 relation with Speed of Nerve Surgical Nerve Survival was obtained p = 0.038. There was a significant relationship between CD4 and Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy in HIV-AIDS patients. While age and malnutrition were not found a significant relationship with distal sensory polyneuropathy

Gas Absorbent Based Modified Atmosphere Packaging to Optimize Dragon Fruit Shelf Life

Dragon fruit is a promising export commodity for Indonesia. But its short shelf-life is a big challenge for an international shipping by sea. This study aims to prolong the dragon fruit shelf life by implementing gas absorbent based Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) in combination with cold storage. This technique decreases the fruit physiological processes by lowering O2 concentration (%) inside the MAP. The selected dragon fruit was packed with gas absorbent-based MAP with different O2 absorber capacities (30 cc; 60 cc; and 120 cc) and plastic types (biodegradable plastic and LDPE). Each treatment was also varied with the use of H2O absorbent and perforation. Then, the dragon fruit in MAP was stored at 5°C and 90% RH for 6 weeks as shipping simulation. After storage, the dragon fruit was transferred to 27°C room temperature without MAP. The results showed that the application of gas absorbent-based MAP, additional treatments, and low temperature were generally able to maintain the quality of dragon fruit up to 6 weeks in cold storage. However, dragon fruit developed signs of chilling injury, increased water loss, increased weight loss, decreased hardness, skin damage, fin withering, and mold growth after transfer at 27°C room temperature without MAP
