Pengaruh Posisi Ergonomis terhadap Kejadian Low Back Pain pada Penenun Songket di Kampung BNI 46

Tujuan: Penyakit akibat kerja disebabkan oleh pekerjaan dan sikap kerja. Salah satu penyakit akibat kerja pada tulang belakang adalah nyeri punggung bawah, yang timbul karena posisi statis dalam bekerja dan bersifat continue. Setiap tahun 15%–45% orang dewasa menderita nyeri punggung bawah dan umumnya terjadi pada usia 35-55 tahun. Penerapan ergonomi merupakan aktivitas rancang bangun (disain) ataupun rancang ulang yang disesuaikan dengan kemajuan teknologi dan juga anatomy, psysiology, industrial medicine. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh posisi ergonomis terhadap kejadian low back pain pada penenun songket, di kampung BNI 46.Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah quasi experimental design tanpa kelompok kontrol dengan metode pendekatan one group pre test - post test design. Populasinya adalah penenun songket berjumlah 30 orang. Karena jumlah populasi kurang dari 100, maka semua objek diteliti, sehingga penelitiannya merupakan total populasi.Hasil: Hasil uji statistik didapatkan nilai p=0.001, yang berarti ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara nyeri sakit pinggang sebelum dan sesudah di beri posisi ergonomis yaitu kursi sandaran dalam menenun songket.Simpulan: Seyogyanya para penenun menggunakan posisi ergonomis yaitu kursi sandaran, karena tidak hanya akan menambah jadi produktif dalam menenun, tetapi resiko terjadi masalah kesehatan, terutama nyeri pinggang dapat di hindari

Testicular morphology and seminal fluid parameters of adult Wistar rats following honey administration

Purpose: Honey has a long history of use in the traditional medical systems This objective of this study was to find out the effects of honey on quality and quantity of sperm and testicular microstructure when compared to fertility boosting drug and controls.Methods: A total number of thirty (30) matured male Wistar rats that were sexually active weighing 200 - 280g were used for this study. The animals were grouped into five as A - E. Group A was the control; Group B (standard group) was the standard group that received 0.3ml of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) drug for 6 days; groups C, D and E received 1ml, 2ml, and 2.5ml of honey daily for 21days respectively. After 21 days of administration, the testes were removed for analysis of the sperm parameters and the histology.Results: Honey significantly improved the sperm quality and spermatogenesis rate (denser seminiferous tubule lumen) of exposed animals compared to control animals, but most improvement was seen in the standard group that received 0.3ml FSH. Also no sign of degeneration or cellular loss was observable in the testicular histo-architecture of experimental animals.Conclusion: This research showed that honey possesses some fertility boosting properties in exposed animals compared to controls and honey is not associated with increased sperm abnormalities.Keywords: Honey, Fertility booster, Spermatozoa, Ologospermi

Prevention of Transmission Efforts Tuberculosis (Tb) Pulmonary in the Other Family Members in Working Area of Sidorejo Health Center Pagaralam Year 2010

Related Biometrical Changes in the Ovaries and Uterus of the Red Bororo Cattle in Maiduguri, Nigeria

Pregnancy related biometrical changes in apparently normal ovaries and uterus of 30 pregnant and 10 non - pregnant Red Bororo cows were undertaken in Maiduguri using abattoir samples, with the objective ofproviding baseline data on this aspect. Analysis of the dimensions showed steady increase (P<0.05 to P<0.001) in sizes of the ovaries and uteri along the trimesters of gestation. The right ovary was larger in size and heavier in weight than the left ovary both in pregnant and non – pregnant states. The right uterine horn was larger in size than the left uterine horn, thus suggesting their natural activities. The cervix showed levels of significant reduction (P<0.05 to P<0.01) in length and attendant increases in diameter from first trimester of gestation to full term, signifying the usefulness of the contraction of the sphincter muscles in the sealing of the cervix during pregnancy. In conclusion, the results of this study haveestablished the baseline for the dimensions of ovaries and uterus of the pregnant and non – pregnant Red Bororo cows of Nigeria. This information will make diagnosis of various abnormalities of these organs easierin both physiological states.Key words: Biometry, Ovary, Pregnancy, Red Bororo cow, Uteru

Pregnancy related biometric changes in the ovaries and uterus of the sahelian goat

Ovaries and uteri of 40 apparently normal, sexually mature female Sahelian goats (30 pregnant and10 non-pregnant) were obtained and measured, immediately after slaughter, at the Metropolitan abattoir, Maiduguri, Nigeria, over a period of one year. This was with the aim of documenting pregnancy related biometrical changes in them. The diameter and thickness of the right ovary showed extremely significant increase (p<0.001) during the 14-20 weeks of gestation. The dimensions of the uterine horns showed levels of significant increases (p<0.05 to 0.001) along the stages of gestation, those of the uterine body showed extremely significant increase (p<0.001) throughout gestation, while the cervical diameter and length respectively only showed significant and very significant increases during the 14-20 weeks of gestation. Conclusively, in the Sahelian goat, pregnancy does not seem have significant effect on the dimensions and weight of the left ovary to full term but causes extremely significant increases in the diameter and thickness of the right ovary during the 14-20 weeks of gestation. The diameter and thickness of the right ovary is extremely significantly more than those of the left at the 14-20 weeks of gestation. The gravid and non-gravid right ovaries are larger in dimensions and heavier in weight as compared to left ones, which confirming the fact of right ovary being more active than the left one. Pregnancy causes levels of significant increase in the dimensions of the uterine horns, consistent extremely significant increase in the dimensions of the uterine body, along the stages of gestations. It also causes levels of significant increase in the dimensions of the cervix during the 14-20 weeks s of gestation. The right and left uterine horns of the Sahelian goat show no significant difference in dimensions both in pregnant and non-pregnant states
