Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) in Nursing Science Program Sam Ratulangi University Students Based on the Type of COVID-19 Vaccine

Aims: The purpose of this study is to describe Adverse Events Following Immunization(AEFI) among Nursing Science Program Sam Ratulangi University students based on the type of Covid-19 vaccination that they received.Methods: This investigation was conducted using a descriptive retrospective study approach. Purposive sampling was utilized to choose the sample for this study, which included 183 undergraduate students in the Nursing Science Program Sam Ratulangi University.Results: After receiving the first dosage of the vaccination, Nursing Science Program Sam Ratulangi University students most frequently reported headache and muscle pain (30.4%), followed by pain and weakness in the injected arm (20.8%), and swelling at the injection site (26%). Additionally, there were students who received doses 1, 2, and 3 of the vaccination who did not exhibit any side effects. These students were 45 at dosage I, 73 at dose II, and 45 at dose III. At dose 1, the majority of Nursing Science Program Sam Ratulangi Universitystudents (73.2%) exhibited AEFI symptoms for less than a day; at doses II and III, 43.7% and 31.1%, respectively, reported experiencing symptoms for one to three days.Conclusion: Based on the research that has been done, it can be said that Nursing Science Program Sam Ratulangi University students only encounter mild AEFI symptoms. So it is hoped that the general public or students won't have to worry about the COVID 19 vaccine causing AEFI symptoms and can get vaccinated right away to strengthen their immunity against the virus

HUBUNGAN PENERIMAAN DIRI DENGAN KUALITAS HIDUP PASIEN KANKER PAYUDARA DI RSUP. PROF DR. R.D KANDOU

Breast cancer and its treatment cause serious psychological problems in patients, such as low self-esteem and feelings of pride, anxiety, even depression and not being ready to accept the condition of the disease they are currently experiencing. Breast cancer patients with low self-acceptance tend to experience feelings of depression, body image disturbances and decreased quality of life. Quality of life can be an important parameter in assessing how well a person functions after being diagnosed and undergoing treatment therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of self-acceptance with the quality of life of breast cancer patients. This research is a descriptive research with cross sectional method. Consecutive sampling is a sampling technique in this study with a total sample of 74 breast cancer patients treated at Prof. Dr. R.D Kandou Hospitals. The measuring tools used are the Acceptance of Illness Scale questionnaire to assess patient self-acceptance and the EORTC QLQ C-30 to assess patient quality of life. Univariate data analysis in the form of descriptive statistics and bivariate data analysis using the Spearman test. The research results showed that more than half, namely 51.4% of breast cancer patients had moderate self-acceptance and almost all, namely 91.9% of breast cancer patients, had moderate quality of life. Based on the Spearman statistical test, it shows that self-acceptance is correlated with the quality of life of breast cancer patients (p < 0.05). Better self-acceptance also improves the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Self-acceptance and quality of life for breast cancer patients need to be improved. This aims to make patients enthusiastic about undergoing therapy programs and have high motivation to recover.Kanker payudara dan pengobatannya menimbulkan masalah serius pada psikologis pasien yaitu seperti harga diri dan perasaan bangga yang rendah, cemas, bahkan depresi serta tidak siap menerima kondisi penyakit yang saat ini dialami. Pasien kanker payudara dengan penerimaan diri rendah cenderung mengalami perasaan tertekan, gangguan citra tubuh dan penurunan kualitas hidup. Kualitas hidup dapat menjadi parameter yang penting dalam menilai seberapa baik keberfungsian seseorang setelah didiagnosa dan menjalani terapi pengobatan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menguji korelasi penerimaan diri dengan kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskripsi dengan metode cross sectional. Consecutive sampling merupakan teknik pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini dengan jumlah sampel 74 pasien kanker payudara yang dirawat di RSUP Prof. DR. R.D Kandou. Alat ukur yang digunakan berupa kuesioner Acceptance of Illnes Scale untuk menilai penerimaan diri pasien dan EORTC QLQ C-30 untuk menilai kualitas hidup pasien. Analisa data univariat berupa statistik deskriptif dan analisa data bivariat menggunakan uji Spearman. Hasil penelitian didapatkan data lebih dari setengah yaitu 51,4% pasien kanker payudara memiliki penerimaan diri sedang dan hampir seluruhnya yaitu 91,9% pasien kanker payudara memiliki kualitas hidup sedang. Berdasarkan uji statistik Spearman menunjukkan bahwa penerimaan diri berkorelasi dengan kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara (p < 0,05). Semakin baik penerimaan diri maka semakin baik pula kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara. Penerimaan diri dan kualitasi hidup pasien kanker payudara perlu untuk ditingkatkan hal ini bertujuan untuk membuat pasien memiliki semangat dalam menjalani program terapi dan memiliki motivasi yang tinggi untuk sembuh

El estudio de aislamientos autóctonos revela un nuevo linaje del complejo de especies Metarhizium anisopliae

Poster y resumenEl género Metarhizium comprende un grupo ubicuo de hongos entomopatógenos productores de conidios de coloración verde a marrón. Actúan como reguladores de las poblaciones de insectos de distintos órdenes, y varios han sido desarrollados como agentes de control biológico de plagas agrícolas y vectores de importancia sanitaria. Más recientemente se ha reportado la capacidad de estos hongos de colonizar plantas con propiedades PGPM y de protección frente a herbivoría por plagas. La diversidad de especies de Metarhizium se ha evidenciado con marcadores moleculares, dado que muchas especies presentan convergencia morfológica. En particular, M. anisopliae, un biocontrolador ampliamente difundido, se considera taxonómicamente como un complejo de especies. El objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en relevar la diversidad genética de un grupo de cepas autóctonas identificadas morfológicamente como M. anisopliae s.l., y evaluar su posible asignación de clado, dentro del complejo de especies M. anisopliae. Se analizaron siete cepas (entre aislamientos obtenidos de suelo y de hormiga, Acromyrmex lundi) de la colección de hongos entomopatógenos de IMYZA-INTA. En estudios previos se determinó que de entre las cepas analizadas, resultaron patógenas en insectos: la cepa M18, en A. lundi, la cepa M48, en mosca brava (Stomoxys calcitrans), y las cepas M20 y M50, en picudo del algodonero (Anthonomus grandis). Asimismo, M20 evidenció capacidad PGPM en tomate. Se secuenciaron los loci ITS (barcode primario), β-tubulina (parcial) y la secuencia intergénica MzIGS3. Este último marcador fue desarrollado por otros autores a partir de la disponibilidad de los genomas completos de dos miembros del complejo M. anisopliae, y provee por sí solo la información para discriminar las especies establecidas para el complejo. Las secuencias de referencia de dichas especies fueron obtenidas del GenBank. Los análisis filogenéticos se realizaron con el programa MEGA (versión 7), utilizando los métodos de Máxima Verosimilitud (MV) y Máxima Parsimonia (MP). Las secuencias de β-tubulina e ITS de las cepas nativas representaron un haplotipo único y dos haplotipos, respectivamente. Por su parte, la amplificación de la región intergénica MzIGS3 evidenció la sintenia conservada de los genes flanqueantes en las cepas nativas, confirmando su identidad como miembros del complejo M. anisopliae. El análisis filogenético reunió dichas cepas en un clado separado, asociado al clado definido como PARB (conformado por las especies M. pingshaense, M. anisopliae, M. robertsii y M. brunneum). El marcador MzIGS3 resultó altamente informativo y podría usarse en un relevamiento masivo para la caracterización preliminar de la colección. Para evaluar una propuesta de asignación de especie nueva a las cepas analizadas, resta extender el análisis con los marcadores RPB1, RPB2 y TEF, utilizados como estándares para estudios filogenéticos en hongos.Instituto de Microbiología y Zoología Agrícola (IMYZA)Fil: Adriani, Natalia.

Practical considerations to establish a validated platform for pooled detection of SARS-CoV-2 by droplet digital PCR

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 has created an enormous workload for laboratories worldwide resulting in a restriction at the time of massive testing. Pool testing is a strategy that reduces time and costs. However, beyond the detection of infectious diseases in blood banks, this approach is rarely implemented in routine laboratories. Therefore, what was learned from the SARS-CoV-2 pool testing should represent an opportunity to increase diagnostic capabilities. The present work, carried out in the context of a diagnostic laboratory of a public hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, represents a contribution to this end. The main limitation of pool testing is the risk of false negatives that could have been identified by individual tests. These limitations are the dilution of samples with a low virus load during pooling and that the integrity of the sample may be affected by the quality of the sample collection. Fortunately, both limitations coincide with the main strengths of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). ddPCR is a third-generation PCR that splits the amplification into thousands of droplets that work in parallel, increasing sensitivity and resistance to inhibitors. Therefore, ddPCR is particularly useful for pool testing. Here we show how to factor between test sensitivity and savings in test time and resources. We have identified and optimized critical parameters for pool testing. The present study, which analyzed 1000 nasopharyngeal samples, showed that the pool testing could detect even a single positive sample with a CT value of up to 30 in pools of 34 samples. This test was performed using three different standard extraction methods, the simplest being heating only, which resulted in substantial savings of extraction reagents in addition to PCR reagents. Moreover, we show that pooling can be extended to use saliva, which is less invasive and allows self-collection, reducing the risk for health personnel.Heckel S, Pacini A, Paredes F, Petreli M.V, Perez M, Adriani N, et al.

An Electron Fixed Target Experiment to Search for a New Vector Boson A' Decaying to e+e-

We describe an experiment to search for a new vector boson A' with weak coupling alpha' > 6 x 10^{-8} alpha to electrons (alpha=e^2/4pi) in the mass range 65 MeV < m_A' < 550 MeV. New vector bosons with such small couplings arise naturally from a small kinetic mixing of the "dark photon" A' with the photon -- one of the very few ways in which new forces can couple to the Standard Model -- and have received considerable attention as an explanation of various dark matter related anomalies. A' bosons are produced by radiation off an electron beam, and could appear as narrow resonances with small production cross-section in the trident e+e- spectrum. We summarize the experimental approach described in a proposal submitted to Jefferson Laboratory's PAC35, PR-10-009. This experiment, the A' Experiment (APEX), uses the electron beam of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at Jefferson Laboratory (CEBAF) at energies of ~1-4 GeV incident on 0.5-10% radiation length Tungsten wire mesh targets, and measures the resulting e+e- pairs to search for the A' using the High Resolution Spectrometer and the septum magnet in Hall A. With a ~1 month run, APEX will achieve very good sensitivity because the statistics of e+e- pairs will be ~10,000 times larger in the explored mass range than any previous search for the A' boson. These statistics and the excellent mass resolution of the spectrometers allow sensitivity to alpha'/alpha one to three orders of magnitude below current limits, in a region of parameter space of great theoretical and phenomenological interest. Similar experiments could also be performed at other facilities, such as the Mainz Microtron.Comment: 19 pages, 12 figures, 2 table

Upaya Meningkatkan Kesehatan Lanjut Usia (Lansia) Saat Masa Pandemi Covid-19 di Panti Werdha Kota Manado Sulawesi Utara

ABSTRAK Pandemi coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) telah merenggut nyawa lansia lima kali lebih banyak daripada kelompok usia lainnya. Hal ini terjadi karena kerentanan yang dialami oleh lansia akibat penurunan fungsi-fungsi tubuh termasuk sistem kekebalan tubuh. Protokol kesehatan yang diterapkan bagi seluruh lapisan masyarakat membuat lansia harus lebih banyak mengisolasi diri di kamar. Kondisi ini menyebabkan lansia mengalami kelemahan dan berpotensi untuk mengalami kekakuan sendi yang berujung pada risiko tinggi untuk jatuh akibat kurangnya aktivitas fisik selama menerapkan protokol kesehatan. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah mengajarkan Range of Motion (ROM) Exercise untuk mencegah kekakuan sendi menjaga keseimbangan dan gaya berjalan lansia agar tidak berisiko tinggi untuk jatuh akibat kurangnya aktivitas selama Pandemi COVID-19. Adapun kegiatan yang telah dilakukan adalah mengajarkan ROM Exercise kepada lansia dan hasil yang didapatkan adalah sebanyak 87% lansia mampu melakukan ROM Exercise secara mandiri, adapun yang tidak mampu melakukan secara mandri adalah karena lansia-lansia tersebut menggunakan kursi roda atau mengalami gangguan pada ektremitas bawah. Kata Kunci: Lansia, COVID-19, protokol kesehatan, ROM exercise.  ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has claimed five times as many elderly lives as any other age group. This happens because of the vulnerability experienced by the elderly due to a decrease in body functions including the immune system. Health protocols that are implemented to all levels of society make the elderly have to isolate themselves more in their rooms. This condition causes the elderly to experience weakness and have the potential to experience joint stiffness which leads to a high risk of falling due to lack of physical activity while implementing health protocols. The purpose of this activity was to teach Range of Motion (ROM) Exercise to prevent joint stiffness, maintain balance and gait in the elderly so that they are not at high risk of falling due to lack of activity during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The activities have been carried out are teaching ROM Exercise to the elderly and the results obtained are as many as 87% of the elderly are able to do ROM Exercise independently, while those who are unable to do it independently are because the elderly use a wheelchair or have problems with the lower extremities. Keywords: Elderly, COVID-19, health protocol, ROM exercise
