Title : Samarinda Community Acceptance Level with Existence Samarinda Food

Abstract : The world of business or industry is currently focusing on consumers, namely on service quality is a factor that can affect consumer and producer satisfaction. This is something that cannot be avoided. In this case, if you only focus on promotional strategies, of course, it will not make consumers loyal to the business you are running. One solution to this problem is an application that offers an online food delivery service. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of acceptance of the people of Samarinda to the existence of an online food delivery service (Samarinda Food). This research method used a descriptive survey method related to the level of acceptance of the Samarinda community towards the existence of Samarinda food with a measuring instrument in the form of interviews with the community and obtained a total sampling of 254 respondents consisting of several food stalls and traders in Samarinda. Based on the results of this study, it is known that as many as 201 respondents chose to cooperate with an online food delivery service (Samarinda Food), and as many as 53 respondents did not want to cooperate. This is because it makes it easier for consumers to buy food without going directly to the location. This can make it easier for them to continue their activities without leaving them to buy their food.

Title : Relationship Between 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 Serum Level with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity

Abstract : This study aims to determine the relationship between vitamin D serum level with disease activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) subjects in Makassar. This study used a cross sectional design and was conducted in Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital and Universitas Hasanuddin Hospital Makassar, Indonesia. This study involved 40 subjects who were collected within a period of April 2021 to June 2021. All SLE subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criterias as well as willing to participate in the study were for 25-Hidroxyvitamin D2 serum level. Subsequently, 25-Hidroxyvitamin D2 level obtained was then correlated with SLE activity level using MEX SLEDAI score. The collected data were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. Statistical analysis was carried out by calculating descriptive statistics and frequency distribution and the statistical test Fisher Exact. Based on the analysis results, it was found out that there was a significant negative correlation between vitamin D level and MEX SLEDAI score (p<0.05). Based on the category of vitamin D level and disease activities, it was found that severe disease activity is the highest in the group of subjects with vitamin D deficiency of 63.2%, while subjects having mild disease activity was the highest in the subject group of vitamin D sufficiency of 57.1% in which statistically it showed a significant correlation (p<0.05). The study found that the lower the level of vitamin D, the higher the degree of disease activity based on the Mex Sledai score..

Title : A Rare presentation of Acute Severe Jaundice in a young patient

Abstract : Budd chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare disorder presenting with cluster of symptoms like pain in abdomen, yellowish discoloration of sclera, abdominal distension, bleeding tendency and sometimes altered sensorium. It is characterised by hepatic venous out flow obstruction at the level of hepatic vein or at the level of inferior vena cava (IVC) (hepatic portion). However, definition of BCS doesn't include the obstruction secondary to cardiac or pericardial disorder or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. The etiology of BCS may be idiopathic, or secondary to thrombotic disorder or hyper coagulable state or myeloproliferative disorder. Prevalence of BCS is more in Western population as compared to Asians. Patient may be asymptomatic or present with acute fulminant hepatic failure which makes its presentation heterogenous. It may be classified into primary which is mainly due to veno-occlusion / thrombotic process and secondary which peculiarly is due to the external mechanical compression due to malignant tumor. The multi-centric data published, illustrates that around 25-40 % of patients have co-existing prothrombotic condition. Primary BCS, hence is an outcome of prothrombotic etiology. We present here a case of BCS with idiopathic etiology. The patient did not have any prior medical/surgical comorbidity or addiction and belongs to low socio-economic status..

Title : CT Morphometry of Lumbar Pedicles in Southernmost Indian State”

Abstract : Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Treatment options may be conservative or surgical and instrumentation with pedicle screws is the commonest method of stabilizing the spine. Correctly placing the pedicle screws is of paramount importance and the morphological characters may vary by region. This study aims to do a morphometric analysis of lumbar pedicles in Tamil Nadu population using CT of lumbar spine. 300 men and women aged 18-65 were studied with a single lumbar spine CT. The measured parameters were Pedicle isthmus diameter, Depth to the anterior cortex along the axis of the pedicle, Depth to the anterior cortex along the Midline of the vertebra, Pedicle offset from the spinous process, Transverse Pedicle Angle and Pedicle angulation compared to the vertebral body. The mean age of the subjects was 38.83±10.99 years, the mean height was 161.9 ±9 .93 cm and the mean weight was 59.94±11.32 Kg. Depth to the anterior cortex along the axis of the pedicle progressively increased from L1 to L3 and decreased in L4 and L5. Pedicle Isthmus diameter increased gradually from L1 to L5. The pedicle offset steadily increases from L1 to L5 vertebra. The SPA gradually increased from L1 to L2 then progressive decreased with caudal angulation at L5. The Transverse pedicle angulation increased from L1 to L5. The spine parameters of our population differ significantly from the previously described studies. Computed Tomography helps in understanding the morphology of the pedicles and decreases iatrogenic complications..

Title : Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer's Disease - Common Molecular Genetics

Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer’s disease are the most important challenges in public health. Long term suffering of type-2 diabetes brings the possible risk of Alzheimer disease for the patient. The features of both diseases are characterized through the cause of inflammation as well as insulin impairment. Insulin degrading enzyme, Matrix metalloproteinase-9 acts as one of the therapeutic targets for both the disease. GSK-3 plays a central role in an insulin signalling pathway that also helps in the therapeutic intervention of Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer disease. Understanding common underlying molecular mechanisms in Diabetes Mellitus and Alzheimer's disease could be very useful in terms of predicting patient outcome and also in terms of identifying therapeutic targets for both the diseases..
