The significance of Meckel's scan in pediatric gastrointestinal bleeding cases: A case report.

Meckel's diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, identified in 2% of the population according to autopsy studies. Most patients remain asymptomatic throughout their lives and are typically diagnosed when complications arise. The diagnosis can be challenging, but imaging is crucial for promptly identifying and distinguishing it from other conditions that have similar clinical manifestations.

Clinicopathological Profile of Thyroid Carcinoma in Young Patients: An Indonesian Single-Center Study.

Introduction: Thyroid cancer is the third most common cancer that occurs in children and adolescents. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid malignancy. Although the mortality rate of thyroid malignancy in children is usually low, the disease recurrence is higher in children with more severe clinical presentation than in adults.

Development and evaluation of granular simulation for integrating computational thinking into computational physics courses.

Computational thinking (CT) is an essential skill in the twenty-first century. The computational physics course (CPC) is one subject that is designed to support students in the practice of CT. Many studies show that the worksheets could be a solution in a CPC as a scaffold to achieve the CT objectives both online and offline.

Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes with "Green" Detergents.

Solubilization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a fundamental technique for the use of CNTs and their conjugates as nanodevices and nanobiodevices. In this work, we demonstrate the preparation of CNT suspensions with "green" detergents made from coconuts and bamboo as fundamental research in CNT nanotechnology. Single-walled CNTs (SWNTs) with a few carboxylic acid groups (3-5%) and pristine multi-walled CNTs (MWNTs) were mixed in each detergent solution and sonicated with a bath-type sonicator.

Five-Year Cancer Epidemiology at the National Referral Hospital: Hospital-Based Cancer Registry Data in Indonesia.

Purpose: In 2016, there were 1,308,061 cases of cancer being treated in Indonesia, with 2.2 trillion rupiahs spent, amounting to $486,960,633 in US dollars (purchasing power parity 2016). The high burden of cancers in Indonesia requires a valid data collection to inform future cancer-related policies.

Practical Guidelines Management of Graves Ophthalmopathy.

Graves' ophthalmopathy is the most common extra-thyroid manifestation in patients with Graves' disease, based on inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in orbital tissue. This practical guideline was formed by a multidiciplinary team, and is intended to provide guidance for diagnosis and management of Graves' ophthalmopathy in daily clinical practice to improve quality of care and treatment outcome.

Diagnostic Approach for Thyroid Nodules.

Thyroid nodule is a health problem which commonly found in daily practice, therefore clinical guidance is needed. This guideline was compiled by a multidisciplinary team and expected to be a guideline in diagnosing thyroid nodules on daily clinical practice.

Application of fluorescent and UV-Vis detection methods to profile antimicrobial activity of cassava tissues for an efficient -mediated transformation.

The majority of tissue culture and transformation studies in cassava ( Crantz) focus on the modification of conditions in order to establish a better protocol. Although this is a standard approach for making progress in genetic transformation technology for a target plant variety, serious difficulty still remains due to the limited applicability and adaptability of the given protocol. In the present study, we aim to develop a new concept that focuses on the development of simple but adaptable genetic transformation technology in cassava.

Social stigma, adherence to medication and motivation for healing: A cross-sectional study of leprosy patients at Jember Public Health Center, Indonesia.

Objectives: Social stigma surrounding leprosy patients (LPs) in the community is still related to the adherence of these patients to medication and to their internal motivation for healing. Unfortunately, the leprosy case programme has not been optimally established in public health centres (PHCs). The aim of this study was to assess the social stigma towards adherence to medication and motivation for healing among LPs in PHCs in Indonesia.

Agar-encapsulated adsorbent based on leaf of platanus sp. to adsorb cadmium ion in water.

A low cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent was developed based on leaf of platanus sp. to adsorb cadmium ion in water. The adsorbent was modified with citric acid and then also encapsulated in agar for easy separation after the adsorption process.

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 is required for efficient hpRNA-induced gene silencing in plants.

In plants, transgenes with inverted repeats are used to induce efficient RNA silencing, which is also frequently induced by highly transcribed sense transgenes. RNA silencing induced by sense transgenes is dependent on RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6), which converts single-stranded (ss) RNA into double-stranded (ds) RNA. By contrast, it has been proposed that RNA silencing induced by self-complementary hairpin RNA (hpRNA) does not require RDR6, because the hpRNA can directly fold back on itself to form dsRNA.

Separation of gold nanoparticles with a monolithic silica capillary column in liquid chromatography.

A separation system for gold nanoparticles was developed using monolithic silica capillary columns with 50 µm i.d., which were prepared via in-situ sol-gel processes.

Isolation and characterization of antioxidant protein fractions from melinjo (Gnetum gnemon) seeds.

The protein from the seeds of melinjo ( Gnetum gnemon ) was purified using a precipitation method and ion exchange chromatographic techniques to identify the potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. Two antioxidant protein fractions were isolated from G. gnemon seed with molecular weights of approximately 30 kDa (Gg-AOPI) and 12 kDa (Gg-AOPII) by SDS-PAGE.

Hydrodynamic chromatography of silica colloids on small spherical nonporous silica particles.

Hydrodynamic chromatography of silica colloids with 5 - 78 nm was investigated for spherical nonporous silica packed columns. Use of phosphate buffer as the eluent improved peak shape of silica colloids and allowed elution of the analytes at times relating to their sizes. The larger the diameter of the silica colloids, the faster the elution time was.

Thermal properties of partially hydrolyzed starch-glycerophosphatidylcholine complexes with various acyl chains.

Complexes of starch and monoacyl-sn-glycerophosphatidylcholine (GPC) containing various acyl (myristoyl, palmitoyl, and stearoyl) chains were subjected to hydrolysis with glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.

Influence of acyl chain lengths in mono- and diacyl-sn-glycerophosphatidylcholine on gelatinization and retrogradation of starch.

The influence of starch with 1- or 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerophosphatidylcholine (GPC) having various chain lengths of fatty acids on gelatinization and retrogradation of starch was studied by the measurement of starch-GPC complex formation, complexing index, and differential scanning calorimetry. The addition of GPC to the starch sample slightly increased the blue value and lambda(max) with increasing chain length of GPC but decreased the phosphorus content and complexing index. The gelatinization onset and peak temperatures of starch complexes increased significantly with increasing chain length, but the enthalpies were statistically lower, except for the treatment with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-GPC when compared with that of the control.

Effect of phospholipids transesterified enzymatically with polyunsaturated fatty acids on gelatinization and retrogradation of starch.

The effects of phospholipids (PLs) transesterified with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with lipase (Aspergillus niger) on gelatinization and retrogradation of starch during storage were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The resulting transesterified PLs were rich in PUFAs and linoleic acid, while the total percentage of PUFAs incorporated was 20.2%.
