Dental plaque has been considered as one of etiology in dental problem.It consists of collection of microorganisms that are formed and firmly attached to the tooth surface and also food deposit.With the mineralization process, dental plaque will transform into dental calculus and lead to periodontal health issues.Dental plaque formation is affected by diet especially food texture.The aim of this study is identifying the correlation between nutrition, microorganisms, and oral health status in dogs and cats.The study was conducted in Prof. Soeparwi Animal Hospital, Faculty of
Cats are pets that many people, including in Yogyakarta, are keeping. Various kinds of diseases can attack cats, but not all owners are able to check their cat's health status. This community service aims to carry out health checks for cats owned by the community especially animal owners who are customers of the Veterinary Clinic of Internal Medicine, FVM-UGM. The service was carried out from April to October 2022 by checking the cat's health status directly. The service has been conducted and can carry out examinations and therapy of 20 cats. Based on the examination, it was found that 17 cats (85%) were diagnosed as sick and three healthy cats (15%). The three main diseases found were skin, digestive and urinary systems. Through medical examinations by students accompanied by veterinarians in the Department of Internal Medicine, cat owners have been invited to watch and given information regarding disease diagnosis, therapy, and how to administer medicine. The owner already understands the cat’s health status, agree to the action and treatment and can provide medicine for the sick cat. It was concluded that the community service for cat health examination had been successfully carried out on 20 cats, and the owner knew the condition of the cat and was able to give the medicine given.

In the testis of the Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica), the distribution pattern of cytoskeletal proteins was immunohistochemically examined to understand their functional roles in the testis. Immunoreactivity for α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) was found in the peritubular myoid cells of the seminiferous tubules and in the sub-tubular myoid cells of epididymal ducts. In intermediate filaments, desmin was exhibited in the sub-tubular myoid cells of the epididymal ducts, and vimentin immunoreactivity was detected in the Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, peritubular myoid cells, and sub-tubular myoid cells of the epididymal ducts. However, cytokeratin was not expressed in the testes or epididymides. Strong immunoreactivity for vimentin was demonstrated between the infranuclear part of the elevated nuclei and the basal membrane in the Sertoli cells. Furthermore, vimentin was extended from supranuclear to apical parts in some Sertoli cells. Immunoreactivity for α-tubulin was detected only in the Sertoli cells. It is concluded that, in the porcupine testes, desmin plays no role in the contractile function of peritubular myoid cells, vimentin may contribute to the anchoring and transition of the elevated nuclei in the Sertoli cells, and α-tubulin and vimentin in the Sertoli cells are likely involved in their structure and function as the main cytoskeleton.
Bottlenose dolphin is a species of dolphin, which is widely known by people. The disturbance from respiration of dolphin often occur, meanwhile the bacteria, which attacked the dolphin, is not yet examined. This research is to study the clinical examination of dolphin respiration and isolation of bacteria also Fungi in respiration system of bottlenose dolphin from java sea. The study was conducted with the study of literature, clinical examination and isolation of respiration system sample. Deep blowhole swab conducted on ten bottlenose dolphins in PT. Wersut Seguni Indonesia. Samples were sent to the laboratory of Microbiology Faculty for isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi. From this research it can be concluded that dolphins clinical examination can only be conducted through inspections. The results of isolation was found that 5 out of 10 dolphins (50%) positive infected by Staphylococcus aureus, while the fungus was not found. Based on these results, it was concluded that the clinical examination dolphins can be done by inspection of the blowhole, animal behavior, a “chuff” or “honk”, the frequency of respiration, socializing animals and animal position while swimming. The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus is found on the respiratory system of bottle nose dolphins from the waters of the Java Sea in PT. Wersut Seguni Indonesia .
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari mekanisme terjadinya lesi aterosklerotik dan peran transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-13) pada proses pembentukan plak aterosklerosis. Sepuluh ekor films Sprague dawley jantan, umur 2 bulan, dengan rata-rata berat badan 200 gram dipergunakan sebagai hewan percobaan dalam penelitian ini. Tikus dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok masing-masing 5 ekor. Kelompok I adalah kelompok Elms yang dipergunakan sebagai kontrol, diberi pakan normal (tidak aterogenik/ mengandung kadar lemak dan kolesterol normal). Kelompok II adalah kelompok titan perlakuan yang diberi pakan aterogenik (mengandung kolesterol dan lemak tinggi). Tams dipelihara selama 12 minggu didalam kandang tunggal, mendapatkan ransum dan minum secara ad libitum. Pada akhir penelitian, tikus diambil darahnya untuk pemeriksaan darah rutin. Selanjutnya, jaringan jantung yang diperoleh dari basil nekropsi dipergunakan untuk melihat lesi aterosklerotik pada arteria koronaria dan aorta dalam jaringan melalui pemeriksaan imunohistokimia dan histopatologi. Analisis statistik dengan t test terhadap hasil pemeriksaan white blood cell dilakukan untuk mengetahui adanya perbedaan antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan. Dari analisis ini diperoleh inforntasi bahwa kadar limfosit darah films kelompok perlakuan lebih tinggi secara signifikan. Dari pemeriksaan histopatologik ditemukan adanya plak aterosklerosis pada 60% tikus percobaan. Delapan puluh persen dan pemeriksaan imunohistokimia terdapat ikatan antara antigen 1GF-fl dengan anti TGF-13 (positit). Dad penelitian ini dapat disimpu/kan bahwa adanya transforming growth factor-ft .dalam aorta atau arteri dapat menjadi suatu indikator akan terbentuknya plak aterosklerosis.

Rumah Sakit Hewan (RSH) Prof. Soeparwi adalah salah satu institusi kesehatan yang menyediakan jasa medis untuk hewan. Pada kegiatan yang sedang berjalan, alur informasi dari satu unit ke unit lain belum didukung oleh sistem informasi manajemen (SIM) yang mampu mengefisienkan kinerja dan membantu pengelolaan data yang lebih baik. Beberapa penelitian di RSH telah menghasilkan tiga SIM independen yang mengelola registrasi, rekam medis, dan tagihan pasien. Setiap SIM menggunakan basis data masing-masing untuk menyimpan data mereka, sehingga menyebabkan duplikasi informasi, inkonsistensi data, serta memperumit pengaksesan data. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk merancang ulang ketiga basis data tersebut menjadi satu basis data tunggal yang akan diakses oleh berbagai SIM. Ketiga basis data digabungkan berdasarkan kecocokan informasi linguistik yang dimilikinya, yakni melalui pencocokan skema berbasis linguistik. Akurasi pencocokan dievaluasi dengan menghitung presisi, recall , dan F-measure . Pencocokan tersebut menghasilkan tingkat akurasi yang cukup baik, yakni di atas 50%. Analisis kebutuhan juga dilakukan untuk mengembangkan basis data yang dapat mendukung kebutuhan RSH yang lebih besar. Basis data yang sudah jadi selanjutnya diuji dengan teknik black-box untuk melihat fungsionalitasnya, sudah sesuai dengan rancangan atau belum. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa basis data sudah mampu 100% menangani kasus masukan data valid, tidak valid, dan redundant sesuai harapan.
The infestation of Strongylus sp. in horses can cause losses to horse breeders, including anorexia, anemia, gastrointestinal diseases and can cause death and decrease the horse population in DIY. Albendazole was a Benzimidazole preparation that is often used to treat worms in ruminants. This study also aims to determine the effect of Albendazole on blood images before and after treatment. The material used in this study were 10 horses with male and female sex, over 3 years old, and infected with Strongylus sp. with an infestation rate of 200 EPG in faeces. Before treatment of drug was carried out, the faeces was examined with Mc Master method. After treatment with Albendazole, the worm eggs were examined three times at intervals of three days. Routine examination of worm eggs and blood was carried out at the Laboratory of the Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada. The results showed that the EPG number decreased from the 0th, 3rd, 6th and 9th day of examinations. The average number of EPG on the 0th day was 990 eggs/gram, and the examination on the 9th day showed the number of eggs was 0 eggs/gram. The results of the hematology examination also showed no significant difference except for the high number of eosinophils on the 12th day after drug administration. The conclusion from this research is that Albendazole as a worm medicine can kill Srongylus sp. however, it does not affect the horse's hematology and health status.
AbstractFeline panleukopenia virus (FPV) infection in cats caused a disease called feline panleukopenia with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is no causative therapy for this disease yet, therefore knowing risk factors is important measure to prevent the disease. This study was designed to investigate the risk factors of feline panleukopenia in Special Region of Yogyakarta therefore disease prevention can be done as early as possible. A retrospective case-control study that used 35 cats in the case group and 70 cats in the control group. Case group consisted all feline panleukopenia patients that were tested positive with Anigen FPV Ag Test Kit (Bionote, South Korea) from two local clinics. Control group consisted cats that were own by the neighbour of cats from the case group with age and sex as matching variables. Owner characteristics including formal education, occupation, duration of having cat(s), monthly maintenance cost, and interaction time per day also feline characteristics including breed, neuter status, origin, husbandry, and vaccination status were assessed. Association analysis was done using EpiInfo (chi-square and odds ratio) and manually calculated (estimated attributable fraction and estimated population attributable fraction). Associated risk factors of feline panleukopenia were duration of having cat(s) less than a year, domestic cat breed, cat origins such as pet store or market and stray cat, the presence of new cat(s), outdoor cat lifestyle, waste disposal outdoor, and not vaccinated cat. Vaccination status and the presence of new cat(s) had the highest strength compared to other risk factors. It can be concluded that vaccination and quarantine of new animals are important measures to prevent feline panleukopenia.Keywords: case-control study, cats, feline panleukopenia
