Design of a Human Health Diagnosis System Through Desktop Application-Based Digital Screening Using Forward Chaining and Neural Network Methods

2024-01-22T08:44:05+07:00

The problem of hospital services, one of which is queuing, is important because it affects hospital productivity. Hospital queues can be caused by the large number of patients and the length of patient treatment. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 30 of 2022, the standard of patient satisfaction with health services must reach â‰¥ 90% where one of the indicators is the long waiting time. Long waiting times or queues can cause medical services to be less than optimal, especially for patients who have emergency complaints (Prabowo, 2019). Therefore, to increase the productivity of hospital services, a human health diagnosis system is designed through a desktop application-based digital screening using the forward chaining and neural network methods to make it easier for doctors to diagnose patient diseases. This innovation is also equipped with severity detection and treatment recommendations for patients. The purpose of this study is to create a knowledge model that can predict patient disease. The results of this study were obtained that the accuracy of testing the diagnosis of patient disease reached 86.6% with the functional ability of the designed diagnostic application to function 100%. With this innovation, the diagnosis of symptoms of human disease can be carried out precisely and precisely so that hospital productivity and health status in every community in Indonesia increase.

Case Study: Foot Massage with Olive Oil for Fatigue Hemodialysis Patients

2024-01-22T08:44:10+07:00

Chronic kidney disease patients require dialysis therapy, one of which is hemodialysis. Fatigue is a side effect of hemodialysis. 71-92% of patients experience fatigue during hemodialysis. Fatigue is caused by the length of the hemodialysis process, anemia, uremia syndrome, and a decrease in blood pressure due to the effects of hemodialysis. Fatigue causes decreased concentration, emotional disturbances, and sleep disturbances which can affect daily activities and quality of life. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of foot massage in reducing fatigue in hemodialysis patients. The research method uses quantitative descriptive with case studies.The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with a sample size of one person. The research measuring tool used the Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue Scale. The patient underwent three interventions, each intervention was carried out for 15 minutes during intra-hemodialysis. The results of the study showed that there was a reduction in fatigue from a moderate level to a mild level, which means that foot massage was able to reduce fatigue in chronic kidney failure patients who were undergoing hemodialysis. This is because foot massage can increase blood circulation which can increase the supply of oxygen and energy to the body and speed up the removal of metabolic waste from the body so that complaints of fatigue are reduced.

Codon Optimization and Construction of Recombinant Plasmid for SARS-CoV-2 RBD Protein on E. coli BL21(DE3)

2024-01-22T08:44:13+07:00

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) resulted over 7 million deaths worldwide. Comprehensive strategies are necessary to combat this pandemic, especially vaccination to mitigate further infection and devastation. The development of vaccines hinges upon the utilization of immunogenic proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with particular emphasis on the receptor-binding domain (RBD) located within the spike glycoprotein’s subunit 1. This protein plays a key role in the virus’s interaction with host cells via ACE2 receptor to infect the host along with the subunit 2 to mediate the cell membrane fusion. While there are multiple vaccines in existence, there is a requirement to create more affordable and accessible vaccine alternatives, especially in developing countries. Potential improvements can be implemented within the vaccine development paradigm, including the exploration of recombinant protein-based vaccines as a viable alternative. In the present study, we optimized the RBD gene sequence as the critical step to construct a recombinant plasmid for heterologous prokaryotic protein expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The optimized codon then inserted into the plasmid vector pET-15b and constructed a recombinant plasmid for transformation into cell host by heat-shock method. The study was evaluated and validated through colony PCR, plasmid isolation, and sequencing. These findings offering a foundational basis for further research in the expression and purification of RBD SARS-CoV-2 protein in E. coli BL21(DE3) as a candidate for subunit recombinant protein vaccine or diagnostic tool in COVID-19 research.
