Therefore, recommendations have been made to the Bandung City Health Office to provide digital body height measuring tools to all posyandu to make it easier for cadres to measure body height toddlers during home visits and to conduct regular training for all cadres to improve cadre skills equally. keywords: body; cadres; center; covid-19; growth; health; monitoring; pandemic; posyandu; public; toddlers cache: amj-2677.pdf plain text: amj-2677.txt item: #283 of 583 id: amj-2682 author: Wibowo, Exel Billy; Dermawan, Arif; Sudiro, Melati title: Clinical Signs in Allergic Rhinitis Patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung 2017-2021 date: 2022-09-30 words: 3065 flesch: 44 summary: Nevertheless, some clinical signs of allergic rhinitis were not assessed and therefore not recorded, for examples clinical signs such as adenoid facies, Dennie-morgan lines, and transverse nasal folds that may be present in allergic rhinitis patients.

The use of HbA1c for diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in patients with type 2 DM who have anemia requires caution because anemia may give rise to falsely high or low HbA1c results that do not correspond to the patient’s condition.3 Patients with type 2 DM are at risk of various comorbidities and complications, including iron deficiency anemia (IDA). keywords: anemia; deficiency; diabetes; hba1c; ida; iron; mellitus; patients; study; type cache: amj-2937.pdf plain text: amj-2937.txt item: #305 of 583 id: amj-2938 author: back cover, front title: Front Cover, Editorial Team, Table of Contents, and Back Cover date: 2022-03-31 words: 2608 flesch: 51 summary: Research article must provide evidence that it has been approved by the ethical committee.

However, many pharmaceutical companies produce advertisements only to increase their profit rather than to give adequate information about their products, as not all information is written in the advertisement.6 Thus, these misleading advertisements consist of inadequate information regarding their products.7 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United Stated has made a regulation to assure the safety, security and effectiveness of drugs advertisements to protect the society.8 Indonesia also has its own authority who is responsible for the drugs advertisement regulation which is known as the Indonesia’s National Agency for Drug and Food Control (NADFC).9 This authority protects the Indonesian public from counterfeit drugs and illegal products.9 For this reason, the NADFC has made a regulation in 2009 to protect society from unappropriate drugs promotion.10 Based on this regulation, it decided that every pharmaceutical company should get permission from the NADFC before releasing any promotion of its products.10 Therefore, this study on the effects of analgesic advertisements on the community in Hegarmanah Village, Jatinangor was conducted to asses the impacts of these ads to the society. keywords: advertisements; analgesic; community; drugs; effects; hegarmanah; iklan; information; medication; respondents cache: amj-346.pdf plain text: amj-346.txt item: #319 of 583 id: amj-347 author: Yusuf, Sabrina Munggarani; Rohmawaty, Enny; Nusjirwan, Rama title: Bixa Orellana L Leaf infusion as an Anti-inflammatory Agent in Carrageenan-induced Wistar Rats date: 2014-12-30 words: 2765 flesch: 57 summary: Inflammation can be treated with traditional medicine, such as Bixa orellana L.

Compared to other researches, a study conducted in Japan, proved Brazilian and Chinese propolis had effects on mast cell degranulation and cytokine production explaining the decrease in eosinophil count in this case.7 Another research in Cihna exhibited an immunoregulatory activity in an ovalbumin sensitized airway inflammatory animal model thus indicating decrease in cytokine production leads to decrease in eosinophil count in this study.18 To conclude, propolis has an anti-allergic effect on ovalbumin induced allergy in rats based on the decrease in total eosinophil count. keywords: allergy; anti; count; eosinophil; group; ovalbumin; propolis; rats cache: amj-541.pdf plain text: amj-541.txt item: #411 of 583 id: amj-542 author: Shanmugam, Suresh; Farenia, Reni; Tristina, Nina title: Creatine Phosphokinase and Visual Analogue Scale as Indicators for Muscle Injury in Untrained Bodybuilders date: 2015-03-29 words: 2891 flesch: 55 summary: Though 1 subject had high pre training CPK and had severe elevated CPK post training, yet complains regarding renal failure symptoms was not encountered because kidney failure would not develop only based on CPK level because co-morbid situation such as sepsis, dehydration, and acidosis could contribute to this situation.9 Majority of the subjects in this study had developed some point of adaptation to training with proven mildly elevated CPK level and adaptation period usually occurred within 4 to 10 days in the first week of training.

It is known that certain strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae produce a β- lactamase enzyme which is an antibiotic degrading enzyme that is responsible to the reduced susceptibility of antibiotics to the biofilm produced by the bacteria.1,10 Klebsiella pneumoniae has become typically resistant to extended-spectrum penicillin such as ampicillin, ticarcillin, and piperacillin and also to many cephalosporins due to the production of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL).10 Klebsiella beta- lactamases are usually susceptible to carbapenems, such as imipenem, and to beta- lactamase inhibitors, such as clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam.10 However, most recently, Klebsiella bacteria have developed resistance to these class of antibiotics as well. keywords: bacteria; canteen; fingernails; klebsiella; padjadjaran; pneumoniae; universitas; workers cache: amj-798.pdf plain text: amj-798.txt item: #520 of 583 id: amj-799 author: Fadlinda, Herza; Utomo, Adi; Djuhaeni, Henni title: Cyanosis as Mortality Risk among Children with Severe Pneumonia date: 2016-06-29 words: 2174 flesch: 57 summary: Undernutrition as an underlying cause of child deaths associated with diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, and measles.
