Background: Presbyastasis is multifactorial balance dysfunction that occurs in the elderly person. Presbyastasis can increase the risk of fall, anxiety, and decrease the quality of life. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) has been proven effective to overcome balance disorders, and it is safe for the elderly. Several studies had reported the success of VRT for balance disorders. All this time, the accomplishment of VRT was assessed by using balance test, which had a risk of falling in elderly patients. Objective: To find out the outcome of Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire score in presbyastasis patients after VRT. Method: Ten presbyastasis patients in age range 60-75 years old who met the study criteria were taken by consecutive sampling. A longitudinal observational (pre and posttest) study by analyzing the DHI questionnaire scores. Assessment was performed twice, before and after VRT. The data was analyzed using paired T test and Wilcoxon signed rank test with outcome p<0.05. Result: The measurement of the emotional subscale DHI (DHI.E) showed the mean score before VRT was 4.00 (1.63), after therapy was 0.00 (0.63), p=0.004. The functional subscale (DHI.F) measurement showed the mean score before VRT was 10.40 (3.98), after therapy was 2.40 (2.07), p 0.00. The mean score of physical subscales (DHI.P) measurement before VRT was 9.00 (4.40), after therapy was 2.00 (1.58), p=0.008. The total DHI score (DHI.T) before VRT was 22.6 (7.67), after VRT was 4.20 (2.2) with p=0.000. Conclusion: There was an improvement in DHI questionnaire score before and after 6 weeks VRT.Keywords: Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), presbyastasis ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Presbiastasis dapat meningkatkan angka jatuh, kecemasan dan menurunkan kemandirian sehingga menurunkan kualitas hidup pada usia lanjut. Terapi rehabilitasi vestibuler (TRV) merupakan modal terapi yang terbukti dapat mengatasi gangguan keseimbangan, dan aman untuk usia lanjut. Beberapa penelitian melaporkan adanya keberhasilan TRV pada penderita gangguan keseimbangan. Keberhasilan dari TRV selama ini dinilai dengan menggunakan pemeriksaan keseimbangan yang memiliki risiko jatuh pada penderita usia lanjut. Tujuan: Membuktikan adanya perubahan skor kuesioner Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) pada penderita presbiastasis sesudah TRV. Metode: Sepuluh penderita presbiastasis usia 60-75 tahun yang memenuhi kriteria penelitian diambil secara consecutive sampling. Studi observasi longitudinal (pre dan posttest) dengan menghitung dan menganalisis skor kuesioner DHI. Pengukuran dilakukan 2 kali yaitu sebelum TRV dan sesudah TRV. Analisis data dilakukan dengan paired T test dan Wilcoxon signed rank test, dengan hasil p<0,05. Hasil: Pengukuran skor kuesioner DHI subskala Emotional (DHI.E) sebelum TRV mempunyai mean 4,00 (1,63), 6 minggu sesudah TRV didapatkan mean 0,00 (0,63), p=0,004. Hasil subskala Functional (DHI.F) sebelum TRV didapatkan mean 10,40 (3,98), 6 minggu sesudah TRV, mean 2,40 (2,07), p=0,00. Pada subskala Physical (DHI.P) didapatkan mean 9,00 (4,40), dan 6 minggu sesudah TRV didapatkan mean 22,6 (7,67), sesudah TRV didapatkan mean 4,20 (2,2) dengan p=0,000. Kesimpulan: Terdapat perbaikan skor kuesioner DHI sesudah 6 minggu terapi rehabilitasi vestibuler (TRV).

The impregnation of knitted Dacron grafts with biodegradable protein removes the need for preclotting at implantation. The effect of such impregnation on the thrombogenic potential of these prostheses is, however, unknown. We have compared the early thrombogenicity of two impregnated knitted Dacron grafts - Hemashield ( collagen-impregnated Dacron, Meadox) and Gelseal (gelatin-impregnated Dacron, Vascutek) -with conventionally preclotted knitted Dacron in an artificial circulation. Fresh, heparinised human blood, containing 111Indium-labelled platelets, was circulated around identical twin circuits of silicone tubing by a Sarns roller pump at 180 ml/min and 120 mmHg. Into each circuit a different 15 cm × 8 mm type of graft material was mounted. Changes in platelet count, platelet aggregation to collagen, plasma haemoglobin and blood radioactivity were recorded and after 60 minutes of perfusion each graft was sectioned and counted for radioactivity prior to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the luminal surface. The mean graft radioactivity divided by the mean blood radioactivity yields a Graft Activity Index (GAI) allowing comparison of platelet deposition and thus thrombogenicity.RESULTS: (mean ± s.e.m.) 8 examples of each graftSEM confirmed these findings with preclotted Dacron having the highest platelet deposition. Both impregnated grafts produced significant early haemolysis within 4 minutes of blood contact. Our findings indicate that the early thrombogenicity of these impregnated grafts is significantly less than conventionally preclotted Dacron, (p< 0.01, Wilcoxon signed rank test), despite the early haemolytic phenomenon and that Hemashield grafts are less thrombogenic than Gelseal grafts. (p<0.05, Wilcoxon signed rank test)

Abstract PD-1 has a role in regulating the response of the immune system to the cells of the human body. Paris et al. reported that combination antiretroviral therapy did not change % CD4+ of PD-1highCTLA-4lowCD127high early/intermediated T cells of human immunodeficiency virus infected patients but increased the percent of the marker limited to initial CD4 counts <200 with Wilcoxon signed-rank test. We hypothesized that the treatment increased the marker value in patients whose initial marker value is less than a particular value and decreased the marker value in other patients and that the test misleadingly concluded that the treatment did not change the marker value. General subgroup analyses correctly estimate the statistical significance of such a reaction or difference between such reactions only when the reaction of both of subgroups or both difference between such subgroups is statistically significant. We propose Ishida’ t-test for paired samples that can correctly judge the probability without division of the group into subgroups, and Ishida’ t-test for unpaired samples that can correctly judge the statistical significance of the difference between such reactions. We also showed that many treatments cause such increase and decrease of marker values relating PD-1 of subjects.
