Intestinal infections with soil-transmitted helminths and protozoa are still prevalent in Indonesia, particularly in urban communities. Transmission of parasitic infections is effected directly or indirectly through objects contaminated with feces, including food, water, fingers and fingernails, indicating the importance of fecal-oral human-to-human transmission. Sidewalk food vendors (SFVs) p…
Objective: To find out the role of inflammations in BPH progression represented by prostate enlargement compared between age group.Material & method: Tissue samples of BPH were collected from biopsy, transurethral resection or open surgery. Clinical information such as age of the patient, prostate volume, prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood concentration and history of retention before proced…
Sarang semut (Myrmecodia pendans) is an Indonesian native plant that has been used in folk medicine. Researches showed sarang semut has antioxidant effect, xantinoxidase inhibitor potency, and anticancer activity.

Background: A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was employed as a source of ablation. The fundamental wavelength of the laser is 1064 nm, with pulse duration of 8 nanosecond operates with uniphase mode of TEM00. In the following experiments, dentin samples (without caries and plaque) are exposed to pulse laser with Q-switching effect at various energy dose. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investiga…
