Rock typing is a vital step in oil and gas reservoir development to achieve predictions of hydrocarbon reserves, recovery, and underground storage capacity for CO or hydrogen. To address inaccurate initial hydrocarbon-in-place prediction and improper rock property distribution in a reservoir model, a recent rock typing method, pore geometry and structure (PGS), has revealed a more accurate prediction on connate water saturation and better grouping of capillary pressure. However, the current state still needs physical interpretations of the PGS rock typing.

Materials And Methods: A total of 26 BB X FH crossbreds were observed for BW, chest weight (CW), body length (BL), hip height (HH), wither height (WH), and chest girth (CG) from 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, and 300 days of age. Stepwise regression and random forest were performed using R 3.

Materials And Method: A total of 563 sequences from eight countries (Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand) in Southeast Asia are used in this study. Data collected from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) regarding the genus sp.
Objective: This study aims to determine the protein profile based on molecular weight (MW) and testosterone levels in seminal plasma (SP) that correlates to the semen quality of candidate Madura bulls.
Material And Methods: A total of 10 male candidate madura bulls underwent semen evaluation (motility, viability, membrane plasma integrity (MPI), and sperm concentration). The centrifuge was run at 1,200 rpm (4°C) for 20 min to collect SP.
Background: The current World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 classification of human glioma is based on key molecular biomarkers to define neoplastic entities. This review further delineates mutant IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase) from wild-type IDH disease, a necessity given the large survival gap between mutant IDH and wild-type IDH tumors. In Indonesia, there are currently few reports on the distribution and significance of these mutations.

Bibliometric analysis is an appropriate method for evaluating the quality of research in a geographic region. We analyzed the neurosurgery reports published by the ASEAN countries to highlight regional productivity in neurosurgery research.

Risk of developing PTE is higher in the first 6 months following head trauma and remains increased for 10 years. Many cases of PTE developed into drug-resistant epilepsy in which need surgical treatment.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is defined as cognitive dysfunction related to inflammation after surgical procedures, which is common following cardiac surgery. Cognitive deficits are thought to result from a systemic inflammatory response. C-reactive protein (CRP) and other proinflammatory cytokines, which are released in response to inflammation, disrupt the blood-brain barrier and neurotransmission, resulting in POCD.

The paucity of QoL reports from developing countries has enlarged the representation gap between wealthy countries and countries with fewer resources. In this study, we evaluated postoperative QoL in the Indonesian drug-resistant epilepsy cohort where the epilepsy surgery service faces limited resource availability.

Material And Methods: Twenty-one male rats were adapted for 7 days and randomly divided into three equal groups. Group 1 was considered a negative control.
To share the experiences of organizing the epilepsy surgery program in Indonesia. This study was divided into two periods based on the presurgical evaluation method: the first period (1999-2004), when interictal electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used mainly for confirmation, and the second period (2005-2017), when long-term non-invasive and invasive video-EEG was involved in the evaluation. Long-term outcomes were recorded up to December 2019 based on the Engel scale.

However, few previous studies have investigated the epileptic preoperative aura, particularly with regard to its effect on surgical outcomes in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Objective: This study investigated the potential role of preoperative aura in predicting outcomes after surgery for TLE.
Approximately 26-30% of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) cases display a normal-appearing magnetic resonance image (MRI) leading to difficulty in determining the epileptogenic focus. This causes challenges in surgical management, especially in countries with limited resources. The medical records of 154 patients with normal-appearing MRI TLE who underwent epilepsy surgery between July 1999 and July 2019 in our epilepsy centre in Indonesia were examined.

We are presenting our experience in treating intractable epilepsy patients by CCT procedures.
Methods: We observed 16 patients who underwent callosotomy (male to female ratio 7:9; adult to pediatric ratio 3:13).
Hemispherotomy is a surgical treatment indicated in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy due to unilateral hemispheric pathology. Hemispherotomy is less invasive compared with hemispherectomy. We reviewed our experience performing 24 hemispherotomy and report the results of 16 patients with prolonged follow-up of this relatively uncommon procedure in two centers in Indonesia.
