Robust estimation of bacterial cell count from optical density

Optical density (OD) is widely used to estimate the density of cells in liquid culture, but cannot be compared between instruments without a standardized calibration protocol and is challenging to relate to actual cell count. We address this with an interlaboratory study comparing three simple, low-cost, and highly accessible OD calibration protocols across 244 laboratories, applied to eight strains of constitutive GFP-expressing E. coli. Based on our results, we recommend calibrating OD to estimated cell count using serial dilution of silica microspheres, which produces highly precise calibration (95.5% of residuals <1.2-fold), is easily assessed for quality control, also assesses instrument effective linear range, and can be combined with fluorescence calibration to obtain units of Molecules of Equivalent Fluorescein (MEFL) per cell, allowing direct comparison and data fusion with flow cytometry measurements: in our study, fluorescence per cell measurements showed only a 1.07-fold mean difference between plate reader and flow cytometry data

Introduction: Prevalence of diabetes melitus type 2 in young age is increasing. A study by Khardori (2014b) proved that diabetes patients have better prognosis if detected early and the blood glucose level is controled within normal level since pre-diabetes. Obesity is one of the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and diabetes melitus. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation of waist circumference and fasting blood glucose level. Method: This analytic observational study with cross-sectional design is done using non probability sampling, accidental sampling type so that collected 51 samples, with gender proportion 64.71% women and 35,71% men. The majority of samples’ ages are 56-60 and 66-70 years old. The measurement of waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, and age are taken by measuring tape, laboratorium data, weight scales, stature meter and questionnaire. Result: The result shown that 33 women sample (64.71%) and 17 men sample (33.33%) have waist circumference above normal (<80 cm for woman and <90 cm for man) and 78.43% have fasting blood glucose level above normal (≥100mg/dl). 75.51% of the sample have body mass index above normal (≥25kg/m2). Analisis: The Spearman correlation test between waist circumference and fasting blood glucose level shown no correlation (p=0.163 r=0.198). Conclusion: There is no correlation between waist circumference and fasting blood glucose found in this study

The Relationship Between Mother Knowledge About Complementary Feeding To Toddler’s Nutritional Status In Playground And Kindergarten At Ketindan Village Lawang District Malang Regency

Introduction :Nutritional status is the reflection of daily nutrient intake. Determinants affecting nutritional status are adequate dietary intake, sanitation, clean water, infectious diseases, food availability, breastfeeding, supplementary feeding, mother's knowledge and parenting. Incorrect complementary feeding can cause nutritional problems in children. Method : This research is an observational analytic study with cross sectional method. Research sample involved 39 pairs of mother and toddler. Primary data were obtained from complementary feeding questionnaires to mothers and measurement of nutritional status of toddler using weight and height measurement. The research data were processed by statistics at 5% significance level and 95% confidence interval through SPSS 23.0.0 for Windows edition 64 bit, 2015, SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA and Microsoft Office 2016. Result :The results of the research data tested with chi square method, due to the unfulfilled expected value, the Fischer test is used. Research showed mothers knowledge about complementary feeding majority is good (74,4%), majority of toddlers in playground and kindergarten have good nutrition status (82,1%). Fisher exact test gave p&gt;0.05 (p=0,242 (CI = 95%; PR 2.679 (0.482-14.893)) in determining relation between mother knowledge about complementary feeding with nutritional status of toddler at playground and kindergarten in Ketindan Village, Lawang District, Malang Regency. Conclusion : There is no relation between mother's knowledge about complementary feeding to nutritional status of toddler at playground and kindergarten in Ketindan Village, Lawang District, Malang Regency (p=0,242 (CI = 95%; PR 2.679 (0.482-14.893)).

Late Presentation of Testicular Torsion : A Case Report

Introduction: Testicular torsion is a twisting of the spermatic cord, which results in impaired blood flow to the testicle. This urological emergency occurs 3.8 per 100,000 males annually, most often observed younger than 18 years. The left testis is more frequently involved. Bilateral cases report for 2% of all torsions. We describe a male with a late presentation of more than 24 hours of acute testicular pain. Patients hesitate to seek advice from doctors for testicular pain because of unawareness. Case Reports: A 16-year-old man arrived at the Emergency Room with more than 24 hours history of sudden severe left testicular pain after taking up two gas cylinders, but he was not aware. After more than 24 hours, he came to the emergency room with worsening testicular pain. The physical examination found tender, slightly swollen, and high-riding left testes. Phren test and cremaster reflex were negative on the left testes. TWIST score of the patient was 7 (high risk for testicular torsion). We made quick order for ultrasound, which shows left testicular torsion. Emergency exploration of testes was done, found the necrotic left testes with rotation more than three times. After complete derotation of the cord, the testes were still necrotic, and we decided to do left side orchidectomy after enough observation. Conclusion: Late presentation to the hospital is one of the causes of delay in treatment and mostly leads to orchidectomy in testicular torsion. Every case of testicular pain should be treated as testicular torsion until proven otherwise. Keyword:&nbsp; Emergency, Late presentation, Orchidectomy, Testicular torsion
