Abstract: One of the fundamental ideas in the healthcare industry and a crucial component of the caliber of medical care is patient safety. Finding prescription mistakes and their causes is one of the crucial steps in promoting patient safety. The most frequent health-threatening errors and a worldwide issue are treatment errors, as B. Medication errors. Executing medicine prescriptions is a critical component of a nurse's performance and a crucial aspect of the treatment and care process.

The purpose of this study was to examine the reporting rate of medication errors, the types of errors, and their causes among emergency department nurses. In this descriptive study, 94 nurses from the emergency department of King Fahad Medical city were selected based on the census. 2010-2011. The data collection tool was a researcher-designed questionnaire consisting of two parts: demographic information and types and causes of medication errors. After confirming the superficial validity of the content, the reliability of the questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha was determined to be 0.91. test.

The data analyzes were performed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. SPSS-16 software was used in this study and P values ​​less than 05 were considered significant. The average age of the nurses was 27 years.

7 ± 3.4 years and her professional experience was 7.3 ± 3.4 years. Of the participants 46.

8% had made medication errors in the last year and the majority (69.04%) had made the errors only once. The predominant types of medication errors related to infusion rates (33.

3%) and administer two doses of medication instead of one (23.8%). The most important causes of medication errors were the lack of nurses (47.6%) and the lack of sufficient pharmacological information (30).

9%). This study demonstrated that medication errors are a significant nursing issue in the emergency department and that there is a substantial chance of medication errors among nurses. The number of nurses should be increased, emergency department nurses' workload should be adjusted, professional development training should be provided to staff to improve their knowledge of drugs, the training procedure should be changed, nurses should be encouraged to report medical errors, and hospital administrators should be encouraged to constructively respond to errors. enhancing patient security

Abstract: Xenotransplantation is the process of transplanting organs across different species. Here, we will specifically look at how modern medical technology is developing a way to use pig organs as an alternative for human organs. This would dramatically improve the dreadfully long waitlist times for those in need of an organ transplant. Obviously, xenotransplantation isn’t as simple as transplanting pig organs into humans expecting perfect functionality. With xenotransplantation comes risks such as diseases, and scientists are researching to find preparations to prepare for potential hazards. Although more development will need to take place, the future is no doubtedly bright for this new potential alternative to permanently overcome one more obstacle standing in the way of mankind: human organ supply shortages.

Abstract: Introduction: Dengue virus infection is a health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical countries, including Indonesia. The nutritional status of pediatric patients can affect the severity of this disease. This study aims to assess the correlation between nutritional status and the severity of dengue infection in pediatric patients. Methods: This study was an observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. Inclusion criteria in this study were data on pediatric patients aged <18 years and treated at Lewoleba Hospital from January 2019-December 2021. Incomplete medical record data were excluded from this study. First, the diagnosis of dengue infection was established based on WHO criteria. Then, patients were grouped into DF and DHF grades I-IV. Next, nutritional status is calculated based on the WHO growth chart (weight/age), which is further grouped into underweight, normal, and overweight/obese. Finally, the analysis was carried out with the Chi-square test and Spearman Correlation Test. Results: A total of 81 patients were included in this study. The majority of patients were male (60.5%), in the age range of 5-10 years (46.9%), and had normal nutritional status (63%). There was a tendency for underweight patients to experience a more severe degree of DHF (DHF grade III-IV), which was 67.7% (p<0.0001). The nutritional status of the patients was also found to have a positive correlation with a moderate strength of correlation with the severity of dengue infection (r=0.556; p<0.0001). Conclusion: There was a positive correlation between nutritional status and dengue infection severity. Underweight patients tended to experience a more severe degree of dengue infection.

Abstract: Snake bite envenomation is a global problem affecting mostly the rural communities living in the tropics, where basic health facilities are poor. This cross sectional prospective study was set out to evaluate the effects of envenomation and antivenom on some haematological and haemostatic parameters among patients with snakebite envenomation. In this study total of 286 participants were recruited comprising of 143 patients with snake bite who were treated with Anti-snake-Venom and 143 apparently healthy subjects as control.  Blood samples were collected from all the participants and their Haematological parameters evaluated using sysmex KX-21N. The result showed reduced packed cell volume (PCV%) , platelets (Plts 109L ) and haemoglobin concentration (Hb) values of the study group on admission, when compared with the control (p<0.05). While the aPTT and PT levels of the study group were statistically signifcantly higher when compared with their control counterpart (p<0.05). The age, PDW, MPV, TWBC, RBC, Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, and mixed though differ between the control and study group but not statistically significant (p>0.05). The age group that was maximally affected by Snakebite was 18-30 years (55.9%) and the least affected were 0-10 years (3%) and 40 - 70 years (10%). Males had higher incidence (57.4%) as compared to females (42.6%). Farming and cattle rearing were the occupations with high snakebite incidence. In conclusion, PCV, Plt, HB concentration, aPTT and PT were affected significantly by envenomation. However, upon treatment with Anti-Snake-Venom (ASV) within 24 hours there were no significant increase on PDW, MPV RBC, TWBC, differrential  (Neut, Lymph) and Mixed.

Abstract: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia ranks third in the world as the country with the most tuberculosis cases. Bacteriology is the standard of examination for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Culture examination takes a long time, TCM must use a sputum sample and special examination tools. Interferon-γ release assays immunological examination (IGRA) is quite expensive and requires special equipment. Hematological examination can be used as an option for supporting examination in establishing the diagnosis of tuberculosis by immunology. The purpose of this study is a journal review to identify the potential (MLR) Monocyte Lymphocyte Ratio as a support in diagnosing tuberculosis. Article searches were conducted online from the NCBI, PubMed and Science Direct databases. Sorting articles using the PRISMA flow. Finally, eligible articles were selected based on the criteria for patient, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study (PICOS), namely tuberculosis patients, MLR, tuberculosis diagnosis, and the original study. The results of this study obtained seven articles from the initial number of 9,234 articles found from key words. Two of the seven articles stated that MLR could be used as a support for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Two articles stated that monocytes and lymphocytes could be markers of bacterial infections including tuberculosis. One article mentions the association of tuberculosis with decreased production of monocyte and lymphocyte cytokines. Two articles stated that MLR was not associated with tuberculosis cases. One article mentions the MLR value limit of 0.378 to support the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Observational research on MLR to support the diagnosis of tuberculosis in Indonesia still needs to be done, especially the assessment of the MLR value limit.
