Functional and structural abnormalities in diabetic kidney disease lead to intraglomerular hypertension and albuminuria. Systemic hypertension and genetically inherited defect on autoregulation in preglomerular arterioles will enhance kidney injury in those patients. ACE inhibitors could reduce albuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy and animal models. Hemodynamic improvement manifest…
This study was only a small part of the study entiting 'The impact of ascariasis treatment and health education on the nutritional and cognitive status of primary school children'. The study was done on primary schools which were located in subdistrict Lagoa, district Koja and madrasah primary school at district Pademangan, northern part of Jakarta.

A small scale field trials of Insect Growth Regulator Pyriproxyfen S-31183 (Adeal) was conducted at Anophelinae breeding sites in mountain streams in Kokap district, Kulonprogo regency, October 1993. Pyriproxyfen applied at a dosage of 0.01 ppm. The main purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of pyriproxyfen against Anophelinae larvae (An. maculatus, An flavirostris and An. balabacen…
Photostability of parasetamol has been investigated. The investigation was aimed to study the effect of light on the stability of parasetamol in solution. The role of coloured glasses was also studied. An ethanolic solution of parasetamol (1 in 100 ethanol 10 percent), in coloured and colourless glasses was irradiated with sunlight for two weeks. An unirradiated solution was also prepared as co…
Many reports showed that hypophosphatemia is prevalent in patients of lung disease with respiratory failure. Correction for hypophosphatemia may improve respiratory capacity, hence, morbidity and mortality. Serum phosphate levels may reflect intracellular phosphate pool. A decrease in intracellular phosphate may implicate muscular adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) and red blood cell 2.3 di-phosphog…
Aging may affect functional and structural changes of the urinary tract which modify the response against infection. Structural changes in elderly such as prostate hypertrophy, urinary tract stone, the use of catheter, and the presence of cystoceles should be treated properly. Attention should be paid on functional abnormalities in elderly may also play a role in the changes. Those factors make…
