Detection of extended spectrum beta lactamase producing Proteus mirabilis by phenotypic and genotypic methods among various clinical isolates
Journal ID : AMJ-14-01-2023-11055; Author : Dr.Shireen Rana, Dr. Amreeen saba, Dr. Javeria Firdous, Dr. Bilal Ahmad Mir,
Abstract : Despite the advent of various antimicrobials, nowadays, the community acquired and health care associated infections are relatively frequent with Proteus species. Its resistance to various groups of antibiotic has been increasing, which needs a continuous survey for better therapeutic response. From total 5055 samples, 591 (11.7%) Proteus mirabilis isolates were obtained. 186 (5.4%) from urine samples, 120 (18.5%) from wound 105 (30.7%) from blood, 172 (28.5%) from pus were isolated. Out 591 samples of Proteus mirabilis 185 (31.3%) were ESBL positive. Maximum samples were obtained from wound (37.5%), followed by pus (36.0%), urine (31.7%), and blood (16%). Statistical analysis was done using chi – square test and p value was found to be significant. The frequency of ESBL producing strains in our study was 31.3 %. In the present study, presence of ESBLs was determined with CLSI phenotypic confirmatory test (PCT), double disc diffusion test (DDST) and E-test. PCT detected 185 (31.3%) isolates, DDST detected 169 (28.5%) isolates and E - test detected 185 (31.3%) isolates. Thus a higher rate of ESBL detection was found with CLSI phenotypic confirmatory test. All the positive isolates detected in PCT were confirmed by MIC using E-test. The clinical laboratory standards institute (CLSI) also recommends the use of the combination disc method for the phenotypic confirmation of ESBL production among Enterobacteriaceae. The raising resistance to various groups of antibiotics is a common problem and its management is a subject of concern. Identification, surveillance and study of the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance will assist in the therapeutic management of patients by reducing the prescription of large spectrum antibiotics control of infections. This study is therefore a step towards the generation of national data on the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance pathogens.

Comparing the probable complications and hemodynamic changes in Electro Convulsive Therapy under anesthesia with two 0.3 and 0.6 doses of Succinylcholine
Journal ID : AMJ-14-01-2023-11054; Author : Soroush Fatemi Naini, Leyla Rafiei, Azim Honarmand, Behzad Nazemroaya *,
Abstract : Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the oldest and most effective methods to treat many psychiatric disorders. Succinylcholine is a short-acting depolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant used to relax muscles and facilitate patient control during intubation, mechanical ventilation, and surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to compare the probable complications and hemodynamic changes created as a result of applying 0.3 and 0.6 doses of Succinylcholine in candidates of ECT. In this clinical trial at Isfahan university hospital, 40 ECT candidate patients were randomly divided into two groups of 20 patients receiving 0.3 and 0.6 Milligrams per Kilogram dose of Succinylcholine. The age, sex, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) of patients were recorded. Before induction of anesthesia (baseline) and 1, 5, 10, and 20 minutes later, symptoms like systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SPO2) measured and compared between two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding primary data and symptom values (P> 0.05). In patients that received 0.6 mg/kg of Succinylcholine, the prevalence of hypoxia and duration of apnea were significantly higher and the seizure duration was considerably shorter. Administration of Succinylcholine with 0.3 mg/kg lead to fewer complications including frequency and duration of apnea.

Journal ID : AMJ-14-01-2023-11048; Author : Anita Puspitasari Dyah Nugroho, Herlina, Aninda Dinar Widiantari, Farida Murtiani,
Abstract : One of key sector to combat covid-19 is healthcare, whose worker are put in high risk affected physical, mental and social. Healthcare worker (HCW) defined as all staff involved to provide treatment for covid-19 patients and are put in higher risk to SARS-CoV-2 exposure than general population. In addition, infected HCW are required to work immediately as the amount of HCW is limited. Indonesia applied entry and exit test in five days to shorten isolation and quarantine period. The policy has also been applied to HCW in Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital since January 2022. This study accounted 229 covid-19 confirmed healthcare worker in Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital with admission date January 1st – February 28th, 2022. Conversion time was divided into two categories, less than equal to 10 days and more than 10 days. Our study showed out of all, only 20,5% of our healthcare workers had conversion ≤10 days. It means most of the result of exit test RT-PCR on day 5 after confirmed date was positive. We found correlation between symptoms and conversion time (p = 0,0001). We also found significant correlation between severity and conversion time (p = 0,0001) as in line to preceding studies. this study aimed to give recommendation and evaluation on exit test on day 5 for healthcare worker policy.

Analysis of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Failure Modes at PT. Gapura Angkasa Makassar
Journal ID : AMJ-13-01-2023-11046; Author : Andi Ferina, Lalu Muhammad Saleh, Masyita Muis,
Abstract : This research aimed to identify and detect each existing failure mode based on probability and severity and provide solutions using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. A company known as PT. Gapura Angkasa in Sultan Hasanuddin Airport was used, which has hundreds of workers in the Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Division, and its operation is fraught with danger and risk. This research identified the cause of the GSE damage, ensuring the safety of workers and the smooth operation of the aircraft and passengers. A qualitative approach was used to examine the condition of the equipment, with the researcher serving as the primary instrument. To obtain information about the failure modes of the GSE at PT. Gapura Angkasa Makassar, the FMEA method was used. This was carried out by determining the risk rating, which is represented by the Risk Priority Number (RPN). The results showed that there were two types of GSE damage, namely BTT and BCL. The engine indicator component in the BTT and the steering column in the BCL had the highest damage, with RPN of 240 and 160, respectively. Routine maintenance is recommended on components with a high probability value to improve their reliability, while special attention should be paid to components with a high RPN level.

Journal ID : AMJ-12-01-2023-11043; Author : Vicky Novitasari, Abdul Mughni, Ign Riwanto, Heri Nugroho, Nani Maharani,
Abstract : This study described the effectiveness of pancreas omentoplasty with sleeve gastrectomy on weight reduction, improving blood sugar levels and interleukin-6 in diabetic and obese rats. A randomized control group pretest-posttest study design was performed on 12 male Wistar rats aged 6 weeks induced with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and grouped into sleeve gastrectomy (SG) group (P1) and SG group with pancreatic omentoplasty (P2). SG is done by partially removing the stomach in the major curvature and suturing it. Omentoplasty is performed by suturing the omentum to the pancreas. Body weight, fasting blood glucose levels, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were examined before and 10 days after treatment. None of the rats experienced postoperative drop-out, and examination showed that they were obese with homogeneous body weight, blood glucose, and IL-6 levels. Data analysis showed body weight, blood glucose levels, and IL-6 after treatment were significantly decreased in both groups compared to levels before treatment. The improvement of these parameters was found to be significantly better in the group that received sleeve gastrectomy and pancreatic omentoplasty. In conclusion, sleeve gastrectomy with pancreatic omentoplasty significantly reduce body weight, blood sugar levels, and IL-6 better than sleeve gastrectomy procedure alone.

Journal ID : AMJ-12-01-2023-11042; Author : Adriadi Yanuar Saifurizal, Nyilo Purnami,
Abstract : Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a hearing loss that develops gradually due to prolonged exposure to excessive intensity noise and usually comes from the work environment. This study was a retrospective descriptive study using medical record data at Neurotology Clinic, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from January 2016 to December 2020. Male patients with NIHL were more than female patients. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.92 :1. Most NIHL patients were in 41-50 years age group, as many as 12 patients (31.58%). NIHL patients as many as 18 patients (47.37%) had a chief complaint of tinnitus, while 20 patients (52.63%) had complaints of hearing loss. Most of the patients' occupations were traders of 8 patients (21.05%). The length of work of NIHL patients showed that those who worked for less than 10 years were 12 patients (31.58%). The mean notch frequency typical of NIHL patients was found in 15 patients (39.47%) with a frequency of 4000 Hz, and 23 patients (60.53%) with a frequency of 6000 Hz, with a decrease in intensity of 59.50 dB and 65.54 dB. The chief complaint was tinnitus, which was more common than hearing loss. Most of the patients' occupations was traders, with the majority of patients had been working more than 10 years. Most hearing loss was mild with a characteristic notch frequency occurring more at 6000 Hz than 4000 Hz.

The Effect of Marriage with Lower Castes (Nyerod) In Traditional Balinese Wedding on The Psychology of Balinese Hindu Women: Case Report
Journal ID : AMJ-12-01-2023-11041; Author : Anak Agung Ngurah Andika Damarnegara, Cokorda Bagus Jaya Lesmana, Ni Ketut Putri Ariani, I Gusti Ayu Indah Ardani,
Abstract : Marriage in Bali, which is predominantly Hindu, still adheres to the caste (wangsa) system. So that the marriage that can be called ideal by the Balinese people is a marriage with the same caste, and if a different caste marriage is still a polemic in Balinese society. Different caste marriages in Bali cause adjustment to the new environment in the husband's family. This case aims to show that there is a relationship between different caste marriages (nyerod) that occur in Balinese women and her psychological status. A 30 years old Balinese woman came with psychological problems after she was married with different caste. Based on in-depth psychiatric interviews, psychological and psychometric examinations, as well as dynamic psychotherapy approaches, it was found that she wanted to end her marriage but she was confused because she had married with a lower caste husband (nyerod) and felt that her family was not willing to accept herself back if she divorced. The need for premarital counselling is certainly crucial to explain to couples who are about to get married, especially those of different castes to know the consequences and adjustments that must be made if they are going to have a different caste marriage to prevent psychological disorder.
