Health behavior and status related to mother's death in Timor-Leste

Maternal mortality (MMR) in República Democrática de Timor-Leste (RDTL) is still high among developing countries. Meanwhile, the study on the model of the relationship between medical factors, non-medical factors and factors of health care system to reduce these figures has not been done in-depth study and independent. Objective: This study aims to demonstrate health behavior and health status as a contributing factor to maternal deaths throughout Timor-Leste. Methods: The study used a case-control study design study with a retrospective approach to study the correlation dynamics between cause and effect factors. The variables collected include the characteristics, behavior and health status of the mother. Then the odds ratio is calculated to explain the strength of the causal factor influencing the effect. In this study involving 298 pregnant women living as well as the mother's family gave birth to die at 13 Municipios throughout Timor-Leste

PREANALITIC AND INTERPRETATION BLOOD GLUCOSE FOR DIAGNOSE DIABETIC MELITUS

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder disease which has been characterised by chronic hyperglycemia as well as abnormalities in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins caused by abnormalities of insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. The Diagnoses of diabetes mellitus in addition based on the clinical aspects of which include anamnesis, physical examination and diagnoses is required in the form of investigations the laboratory examination. The simplest laboratory examination is the examination of blood sugar. The stages of preanalitic and the interpretation of results examination of the blood sugar is worth noting in order to obtain meaningful results so that a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus can be enforced and for monitoring treatment outcomes. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} <![endif]--

Diagnosis, Diagnosis Differensial dan Penatalaksanaan Immunosupresif dan Terapi Sumsum Tulang pada Pasien Anemia Aplastik

Anemia aplastic is anemia with bone marrow failure characterized by pancytopenia and at themost case with hypoplasia bone marrow. The incidence of anemia aplastic is 3 -6 case per 1million persons per year. Clinical presentations of anemia aplastic are anemia syndrome,leukopenia will cause infection, and thrombocytopenia will cause bleeding. Diagnosis of anemiaaplastic is based on bicytopenia and pancytopenia without malignancy, infiltration, andsuppression to bone marrow. Treatments for anemia plastic are main therapy, supportive therapyand long-term therapy. Main therapy is avoiding the caustic agent. Supportive therapy giveswhen there is a symptom from anemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Long-term therapy isimmunosuppressive therapy and bone marrow therapy.<br /

EXAMINATION OF THE IMMUNOGLOBULIN M ANTI SALMONELLA IN DIAGNOSIS OF THYPOID FEVER

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Typhoid fever is an acute systemic infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi, that can be found all over the world. According to the world health organization ( WHO ) 2003, is predicted there are about 17 million cases of typhoid fever in the entire world with incidence 600,000 cases of deaths every year. The diagnosis of typhoid fever is done clinically and by laboratory examination. Laboratory examination can be an examination of the blood test, serological test, and culture. Examination of the IgM anti Salmonella (TUBEX® test) is one of the new serological test which more quickly and accurately in diagnose typhoid fever. This examination is competitive agglutination test, semi quantitative, simple, quick and very accurate in the diagnosis acute infection of typhoid fever as it only detects the antibodies IgM Anti-Salmonella in a few minutes. <!--[endif] --

UJI TUBEX UNTUK DIAGNOSIS DEMAM TIFOID DI LABORATORIUM KLINIK NIKKI MEDIKA DENPASAR

Typhoid fever is one of the endemic diseases that commonly occur in rural and urban communities. It spreads through food and drink contaminated bySalmonella typhi bacteria. In 2008, detection of typhoid fever was carried out usingthe tubex test in which it principally detects the IgM antibody that specific forSalmonella typhi O9 present in serum by employing the method of InhibitionMagnetic Binding Immunoassay (IMBI).  The present study was aimed to evaluateresults of blood sample examination of suspected typhoid fever patient using thetubex test, in order to confirm the typhoid fever diagnose. This research wasretrospective study by analyzing 1.266 data of suspected patients obtained from NikkiMedika Clinic Laboratory. The samples were delivered to the Clinic Laboratory forlaboratory examination since 2008 till October 2012. Each sample was examinedusing the tubex test. The results showed that 11.6 – 27.8% of the blood samples werepositive for typhoid fever while 70 – 88.7% was negative. <br /

ANEMIA SEL SABIT

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Anemia is a form of blood disorder most often occurs in the community. Sickle cell anemia is anemia due to hemoglobinopathy caused by a change in the amino acid-6 of the ? globin chain. Sickle cell anemia is common in tropical areas of Africa and some parts of the region Saudi Arabia, India and the Mediterranean as well as black people in America. In addition there are also careers in various European countries. In pathophysiology, there are amino acid change from glutamic acid to valine in the ?-globin chain that causes red blood cells become sickle-shaped when deoxygenatied, but still be able to return to its normal shape when experiencing oxygenation. When the red blood cell membrane have been amended, the polymerization of red blood cells has become irreversible. Clinical picture seen in sickle cell anemia can be divided into two, namely: acute and chronic. Diagnosis can be done is to distinguish between heterozygous or homozygous sickle cell. Treatment provided in accordance with the clinical picture appears. Treatment that can be done is by blood transfusion, bone marrow transplant, anti-sickling drug delivery, and drug delivery to trigger the synthesis of HbF. Treatment still in the development stage is to use stem cells. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calib

DIAGNOSE OF THYPOID FEVER WITH WIDAL TEST

Thypoid fever is one of infection systemic disease cause by Salmonella enterica serotype typhi, thisbacterium is member of family Enterobacteriaciae. Everyone with thypoid fever bring thebacterium in blood stream and gastrointestinal sytem so that it can transmit the infection to othersdirectly through water or food that has been contaminated. Laboratory examination to establish adiagnosis of typhoid fever is with conventional methods, namely the culture of the bacterium andserological test Widal and non-conventional method, namely Polimerase Chain Reaction (PCR),Enzyme Immunoassay Dot (EID) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The definitivediagnosis of typhoid fever is with isolation of Salmonella enterica serotype typhi from blood, urineor other body fluids. It is often not possible in developing countries because of inadequatebakteriologik facilities on many small hospitals, while typhoid fever is an endemic disease in thecountry. With this kind of situation, the diagnosis should be enforced by connecting thecorresponding clinical symptoms with typhoid fever and the presence of antibody titer is increasingsignificantly in the blood against antigens O or H antigens of Salmonella enterica serotype typhi(Widal test). <br /
