Charateristic TB Patient (Riview)

At Godoy et.al (2004). Their results mention TB patients characteristics are :
  1.  Male adults with excessive consumption of alcohol Coinfection HIV are common
  2. 25-34 years old
  3. Age compared with persons 45 years old and above; with males
  4. Age compared with persons 45 years old and above; with consumers of alcohol
  5. Age compared with persons 45 years old and above; with negatively with those under 15 years of age
  6.  Age compared with persons 45 years old and above; with coinfection with HIV

In other hand, the research by Hadad (2014) mention TB patients characteristics :
  1. Case-patients ranged in age from 18 to 62 years
  2. Case-patients had long infectious periods (median 10 months, range 3−36 months); after seeking medical attention for TB symptoms, these patients often experienced delays in TB diagnosis and thus delays in treatment initiation
  3. All patients had pulmonary TB that was smear positive for acid-fast bacilli
  4. Most patients reported excess alcohol or illicit drug use; half had been incarcerated at some point in the past, and nearly half had been homeless in the year before diagnosis.
  5. Most cases came to public health attention because the patient sought care for TB symptoms rather than through contact investigations.
Lin (2014) :
  1. During the study period, 2016 cases (male: 71.1%) of culture-proven TB were identified. 
  2. The mean age was 59.3 (range: 0.3–96) years. 
  3. the mean age at death was 74 years; 17.3% (43 cases) of all TB deaths were TB-related. 
  4. Most of the TB-related deaths occurred early (median survival: 20 days), 
  5. The patient died of septic shock. Malignancy, liver cirrhosis, renal failure, and miliary and pneumonic radiographic patterns were all independent predictors for all TB deaths. 
  6. Cavitary, miliary and pneumonic radiographic patterns were all significant predictive factors for TB-related death. 
  7. Extrapulmonary involvement and liver cirrhosis were also factors contributing to TB-related death.
The Last, form Sajith (2015)
  1. Men majority 
  2. Economically productive 
  3. Patients were from urban area
  4. Age group ranged between 15-34 years.
  5. Patients were illiterate and 32.2% were unemployed
  6.  The highest number of smokers and alcoholics
Conclussion. The most of TB Patients are :
  1. Productive age (adult)
  2. Smokking, Alchololic, Drug use
  3. Homeles, incarcerated 
  4. illiterate
  5. Urban area
  6. coinfection with HIV

Medan sebuah kota yang tak pernah terbesit sebelumnya Sebuah kota maju kota metropolitan seperti Jakarta namun seperti ditinggalkan Bertemu dengan delapan mahasiswa  yang menjadi sahabat bagiku Membangun FKM bersama-sama Lalu datanglah Bahagia dan rintangan datang bergantian Hati dan pikiran semuanya termuara pada mereka Sampai segala puncak cobaan yang tak terbendung Perlakukan manusia zalim yg tak bisa tercena olah akal sehat Fitnah lalu lalang menghantam tak kunjung usai  Terkadang berbuat baik, tak mesti disambut gayung Malah lebih banyak ditiupkan ombak yg menerjang sampan kecil hingga terbalik Menoleh kembali perjuangan Rasulullah, Kehinaan ini tak seberapa dibandingkan dgn kisah sirah nabawiyah. Mencoba membingkai skenario Tuhan Hendak derajat mana yang akan dinaikkan Apakah harus melawan atau diamkan Bulir airmata menitik deras namun hanya sajadah dan AlQuran saksi kesendirian Hanya bertumpu pada keyakinan, akhir kisah ini, Allah pasti akan memb...

Kualitas Pendidikan Di Indonesia

Ada 3 artikel bagus yg ditulis oleh Elizabeth Pisani tentang kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia. Pisani adalah jurnalis Reuters yg banyak menulis tentang Indonesia. Salah satu bukunya, 'Indonesia Etc', adalah buku bagus yg mendapat banyak pengakuan internasional Dalam tulisannya, Pisani menyoroti prestasi anak2 Indonesia dalam tes PISA. PISA adalah tes yg diadakan OECD untuk menguji kemampuan anak2 usia 15 tahun di puluhan negara dalam bidang sains (science), matematika (math) dan membaca (reading). Tes ini diadakan 3 tahun sekali. Di 2 tes terakhir pada tahun 2012 dan 2015, Indonesia mendapat peringkat 60-an dari 70 negara di ketiga bidang yg diujikan. Jauh di bawah negara2 tetangga di ASEAN seperti Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, apalagi Singapura. Contohnya: hasil tes 2015 menunjukkan, 55% anak Indonesia punya kemampuan sangat buruk di tes membaca. Semua soal tes PISA sudah diterjemahkan ke bahasa Indonesia loh padahal.. 😅 Reading comprehension mereka ternyata sangat rendah....

Research Article vs. Review Article

RESEARCH ARTICLE A research article describes a study that was performed by the article’s author(s). It explains the methodology of the study, such as how data was collected and analyzed, and clarifies what the results mean. Each step of the study is reported in detail so that other researchers can repeat the experiment. The research article will be based on the analysis and interpretation of this data.  To determine if a paper is a research article, examine its wording. Research articles describe actions taken by the researcher(s) during the experimental process. Look for statements like “we tested,” “I measured,” or “we investigated.” Research articles also describe the outcomes of studies. Check for phrases like “the study found” or “the results indicate.” Next, look closely at the formatting of the article. Research papers are divided into sections that occur in a particular order: abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. REVIEW ARTIC...
