Objective: To compare clinical therapeutic effects (frequency, dysuria, and pyuria), microbiology, pharmacokinetics index Cmax/MIC Fosfomycin Trometamol 3 gr single dose with Ciprofloxacin 2 x 500 mg/12 hours for 5 days in the treatment of uncomplicated UTI in women due to Escherichia coli (E.Coli). Materials & Methods: Experimental observational design from February until July 2013. Twenty two women with uncomplicated UTI due to E.Coli performed clinical and microbiological examination. Pharmacokinetics index (Cmax/MIC) is looked for. Patients are divided 2 group, Ciprofloxacin 500 mg/12 hours 5 days and Fosfomycin Trometamol single dose. Repeat clinical and microbiological evaluation is performed in 7 days after therapy. Statistic analysis use Chi Square test, Paired T test, and Independent T test. Results: In the treatment of uncomplicated UTI in women, Fosfomycin Trometamol single dose therapy provides clinical cure (dysuria 81.2%, p = 0.338, frequency 90.9%, p = 0.004, pyuria 90.9%, p = 0.009) much better than Ciprofloxacin 500 mg/12 hours 5 days. Fosfomycin Trometamol single dose therapy also provides bacteriological eradication (100%) better than Ciprofloxacin 500 mg/12 hours 5 days (p = 0.035). Fosfomycin Trometamol single dose had a higher pharmacokinetics index (Cmax/MIC) compared to Ciprofloxacin 500 mg/12 hours (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Fosfomycin Trometamol single dose therapy is superior to Ciprofloxacin 500 mg/12 hours 5 days in the treatment of uncomplicated UTI in women. Keywords: Therapeutic effect, fosfomycin trometamol, ciprofloxacin, uncomplicated UTI, Escherichia coli.

<p class="Default"><em>The purpose of this research is to know whether or not there are differences of learning outcomes of students of class X TKJ 1 and X TKJ 2 between those using a constructivism approach and those using an open-ended approach in learning mathematics in statistics chapter. The research method used is a quasi-experiment with population of students of SMK TERPADU HUTAMA and with samples of 68 people simply and randomly taken by using a self-developed instrument in the form of test about Mathematics Learning Outcomes. The research data for the experimental and controlled classes are collected by analyzing the test using t test, while the normality analysis requirement is analyzed by testing with chi-square test and homogeneity with F test. The result of the research shows that there is a significant difference between students’ learning outcomes through constructivism approach and through an open-ended approach to mathematics learning in SMK TERPADU HUTAMA. From the research results, it can be concluded that the constructivism approach is better than the open-ended approach in statistics learning because the former can encourage the development of individual’s skill in the classroom.</em></p>

Radiographic Mandibular Indices serve as easy and relatively cheap tools for evaluating bone mineralization. Objectives: To examine the effect of age and gender on three mandibular indices: the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), the mandibular ratio (MR) and the mandibular cortical index (MCI), among Libyan population. Methods: The three indices were measured on 317 digital (OPGs) of adult humans (155 males, 162 females). The sample was divided into six age groups (from 18-25 years through 56-65 years). The measurements were analyzed for interactions with age and sex, using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) software version no. 22. The tests employed were two way ANOVA, the unpaired T-test and chi-square test. Results: The mean PMI fluctuated between 0.37 s.d. 0.012 and 0.38 s.d. 0.012. among the sixth age groups. One-way ANOVA statistical test revealed no significant of age on PMI. On the other hand gender variation has effect on PMI, since independent sample t-test disclosed that the difference between the male and female PMI means statistically significant. ANOVA test showed that the means of MR among age groups showed a negative correlation i.e. MR mean declined from 3.01 in 18-25 age groups to 2.7 in 55-65 age groups. In contrary, the gender showed no effect on MR according two sample t-test at p> 0.05. In regards with MCI, statistical analysis showed that it affected by age that is C1 was decreasing by age while C2 and C3 were increased by age. Using chi square test the result indicated that there is a significant difference among the different age group and the two genders in MCI readings. Conclusion: PMI was influenced significantly by age but minimally by the gender. MR is not affected by gender but has a negative correlation with age. MCI is affected by both age and gender

Prolap organ panggul merupakan kondisi yang mempengaruhi kualitas hidup wanita. Prolaps organ panggul ini dapat disebabkan oleh perlukaan sewaktu proses persalinan, proses penuaan, komposisi jaringan pada seorang wanita, batuk- batuk kronis, atau sering melakukan pekerjaan berat. Pengenalan dini prolaps terkait dengan prognosis pemulihan anatomik dan fungsional organ panggul. Hingga kini, penerapannya dalam dunia klinis belum banyak sehingga pelatihan dan pembelajaran lebih lanjut tentang pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POPQ) jelas diperlukan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode case control study di polikilinik Obgin RSUP. Dr. M. Djamil Padang mulai bulan September 2013 sampai jumlah sampel terpenuhi sebanyak 98 orang. Dengan 49 orang kelompok kontrol dan 49 orang kelompok kasus .Analisis dilakukan untuk menilai hubungan usia, paritas, pekerjaan dan indek massa tubuh dengan kejadian prolap organ panggul berdasarkan skor POPQ. Data disajikan dalam bentuk tabel. Data diuji dengan t test dan chi square test. Jika p<0,05 menunjukan hasil yang bermakna. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara usia dengan kejadian prolap organ panggul dengan (p<0,05) dan OR 27,871.terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara paritas dengan kejadian prolap organ panggul dengan (p<0,05) dan OR 52,970.Dari analisa statistik pekerjaan tidak bisa di uji secara statistik.indek massa tubuh tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna terhadap kejadian prolap organ panggul.(p>0,05)

BACKGROUND Today, the Internet may be a promising tool for interventions for pregnant women. However, these kinds of tools are only helpful if users are ready to use them. OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted with the aim of readiness assessment of pregnant women to use the Internet to access health information about pregnancy and childbirth. METHODS This study was carried out on a sample of 384 pregnant women. Data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire. The first section of this questionnaire collected demographic characteristics of the participants. The second part of the questionnaire contains 27 questions covering the following components: infrastructure readiness (6 questions); affordability readiness (3 questions); and skill readiness (12 questions). Data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and T-test. RESULTS This study was carried out on a sample of 384 pregnant women.

Antimicrobial-resistance in Enterobacterales is a serious concern in Saudi Arabia. The present study retrospectively analyzed the antibiograms of Enterobacterales identified from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 from a referral hospital in the Aljouf region of Saudi Arabia. The revised document of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) CR-2015 and Magiorakos et al.’s document were used to define carbapenem resistance and classify resistant bacteria, respectively. The association of carbapenem resistance, MDR, and ESBL with various sociodemographic characteristics was assessed by the chi-square test and odds ratios. In total, 617 Enterobacterales were identified. The predominant (n = 533 (86.4%)) isolates consisted of 232 (37.6%), 200 (32.4%), and 101 (16.4%) Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis, respectively. In general, 432 (81.0%) and 128 (24.0%) isolates were of MDR and ESBL, respectively. The MDR strains were recovered in higher frequency from intensive care units (OR = 3.24 (1.78–5.91); p < 0.01). E. coli and K. pneumoniae resistance rates to imipenem (2.55 (1.21–5.37); p < 0.01) and meropenem (2.18 (1.01–4.67); p < 0.04), respectively, were significantly higher in winter. The data emphasize that MDR isolates among Enterobacterales are highly prevalent. The studied Enterobacterales exhibited seasonal variation in antimicrobial resistance rates towards carbapenems and ESBL activity.
