Alginate-Based Hydrogels with Amniotic Membrane Stem Cells for Wound Dressing Application.

Objective: Chronic wounds are a common clinical problem that necessitate the exploration of novel regenerative therapies. We report a method to investigate the in vitro wound healing capacity of an innovative biomaterial, which is based on amniotic membrane-derived stem cells (AMSCs) embedded in an alginate hydrogel matrix. The aim of this study was to prepare an sodium alginate-based hydrogel, cross-linked calcium chloride (CaCl with the active ingredient AMSC (AMSC/Alg-H) and to evaluate its in vitro effectiveness for wound closure.

Improving routine health data in Indonesia: Utilising the WHO data quality tool for Aplikasi Satu Data Kesehatan.

Introduction: Assessment of data quality in the era of big data is crucial for effective data management and use. However, there are gaps in data quality assessment for routine health data to ensure accountability. Therefore, this research aims to improve the routine health data quality that have been collected and integrated into Aplikasi Satu Data Kesehatan (ASDK) as the primary health data system in Indonesia.

Performance of a modified and intermittently operated slow sand filter with two different mediums in removing turbidity, ammonia, and phosphate with varying acclimatization periods.

The present study investigated the utilization of blood clam shells as a potential substitute for conventional media, as well as the influence of the acclimation time on the efficacy of an intermittent slow sand filter (ISSF) in the treatment of real domestic wastewater. ISSF was operated with 16 h on and 8 h off, focusing on the parameters of turbidity, ammonia, and phosphate. Two media combinations (only blood clam shells [CC] and sand + blood clam shells [SC]) were operated under two different acclimatization periods (14 and 28 d).

The Effectiveness of Digital-Based Psychotherapy in Overcoming Psychological Problems in College Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review.

This review aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of digital-based psychotherapy in overcoming the psychological problems of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several databases consisting of EBSCO-Host CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, Sage Journal, and Taylor and Francis were used in the search process and resulted in experimental studies focusing on the effectiveness of the application of digital-based psychotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic timeline (2019-2022). Descriptive and exploratory analyses were performed based on the data set from the study.

Application of Amniotic Membrane in Skin Regeneration.

Amniotic membrane (AM) is an avascular structure composed of three different layers, which contain collagen, extracellular matrix, and biologically active cells (stem cells). Collagen, a naturally occurring matrix polymer, provides the structural matrix/strength of the amniotic membrane. Tissue remodeling is regulated by growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and other regulatory molecules produced by endogenous cells within AM.

Nursing Care on HIV/AIDS-Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Qualitative Descriptive Study of Nurse's Perspective in Indonesia.

HIV/AIDS-positive men who have had sex with men (MSM) account for roughly one-third of new infections in the region, with numerous nations facing a high and rising prevalence. They often face stigmatization and discrimination from society, including nurses. This study aims to explore nurses' perspectives on caring for HIV/AIDS-infected MSM.

Analysis of Convalescent Plasma Transfusion in Children Confirmed with COVID-19: A Systemic Review.

Aim: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of convalescent plasma therapy in children who are confirmed positive for coronavirus disease-2019. This study focuses on the mechanism of treatment administration and the prognosis after convalescent plasma transfusion.

Method: Article searches were conducted using a combination of keywords, namely, "COVID-19," "convalescent plasma," and "children" or "pediatric.

Modified TiO₂ nanotubes-zeolite composite photocatalyst: Characteristics, microstructure and applicability for degrading triclocarban.

The study explored the characteristics and effectiveness of modified TiO nanotubes with zeolite as a composite photocatalyst (MTNZC) for the degradation of triclocarban (TCC) from the aqueous solution. MTNZC samples have been produced via electrochemical anodisation (ECA) followed by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Three independent factors selected include MTNZC size (0.

Performance of geotextile-based slow sand filter media in removing total coli for drinking water treatment using system dynamics modelling.

In a slow sand filter, a biological layer consisting of alluvial mud and various types of microorganisms grows and attaches to the sand media and forms a matrix called . Changes to several factors, including the quality of raw water, filtration speed, and the addition of media, affect the performance of the slow sand filter unit in producing treated water. Geotextiles can be equipped to improve the performance of a slow sand filter in removing pollutants.

Behavior of with varied filtration rates of slow sand filter to remove total coliforms.

The previous research showed that slow sand filtration (SSF) can remove the total coli by approximately 99% because of the layer in the filter. The presented study aimed to complete the previous research on SSF, especially on the layer mechanism, to remove total coli. Total coli is a parameter of water quality standard in Indonesia, and the behavior of affects the total coli removal.
