This study aims to determine the integrity of the financial statements of plantation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2017-2020. This study began to observe information on cases of disclosure of corporate financial statements that are published and do not meet the characteristics of accounting standards in several business sectors which are thought to be influenced by various factors such as managerial ownership, profitability ratios, and company size. This study used quantitative methods with multiple regression analysis through statistical data analysis software SPSS. The data used is secondary data which is collected through literature review and downloading the issuer's financial statements via IDX.co.id. This study found a negative effect of managerial ownership and firm size on the integrity of financial statements, while the effect of profitability was not found. This finding explains the function of managers as agents and at the same time as a principle of providing great opportunities for managers in making policies that benefit themselves so that the integrity of financial reports is low, as well as the fact that the level of company prosperity encourages management to take policies that have an impact on low financial statement’s integrity.

This report validates the anti-hyperlipidemic property of Pleurotus tuber reguim an edible mushroom widely used for weight loss among other ailments, using Triton X-100 induced hyperlipidemic rats. The lipophilic chloroform (CHE) and hydrophilic 70 % aqueous ethanol (AQE) extracts were obtained by successive cold maceration in increasing order of solvent polarity. Anti-hyperlipidemic activities of the extracts at 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight, was evaluated using Triton X-100 induced hyperlipidemic rats. Artovastatin was used as the standard drug. Compared to the hyperlipidemic untreated control group, there was a significant (p<0.05) dose dependent reduction in the plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and increase in the high density lipoprotein (HDL) after 7 days treatment with the extracts. The trend in the ameliorative activities of the extracts and atovastatin were in the following rank order: atovastatin (43.5%)>CHE-200mg/kgbw (41.4%)>CHE-100mg/kgbw(38.4%>AQE-200 mg/kgbw (35.9%)>AQE-100 mg/kgbw (27.6%) for TC; atovastatin (73.5%)>CHE-200mg/kgbw (68.0%)>CHE-100mg/kgbw(64.5%>AQE-200 mg/kgbw (62.3%)>AQE-100 mg/kgbw (62.2%) for TG; CHE-200mg/kgbw (114.4 %)> AQE-200mg/kgbw(87.3%) >atovastatin (68.7%)>CHE-100mg/kgbw (38.5%)>AQE-100mg/kgbw(8.8%) for HDL; atovastatin (73.5%)>CHE-200mg/kgbw (68.0%)>CHE-100mg/kgbw(64.5%>AQE-200 mg/kgbw (62.3%)>AQE-100 mg/kgbw (62.2%) for VLDL; and CHE-200mg/kgbw (78.5%) > atovastatin (66.8%)>AQE-200mg/kgbw (63.5%)>AQE-100mg/kgbw(26.8%) for LDL. Triterpenoids (phytosteroids), fatty acids, and cardenolides are present in the CHE while, amino acids, saponins and carbohydrate were present in the AQE as metabolites with alkaloids and anthraquinones were absent. P tuber reguim possesses anti-hyperlipidemic effects which could be due to the phyto-constituents present thus justifying its traditional use for weight loss.

10.36348/sjnhc.2021.v04i04.001
Background: Surgical cancellations at the day of surgery present major difficulties to both health care organizations as well patients and families. In a low middle income country (LMIC), cancellations stress an already resource limited system and result in significant financial burden and loss of resources. Due to a limited number of tertiary care hospitals, most families have to travel great distances and outpatient visits for preoperative assessment are unfeasible. We describe a protocol using screening phone calls and patient’s family counseling prior to admission to reduce same-day cancellations rates. Objective: To determine whether implementation of nurse –led protocol involving screening phone call and standardized questionnaire, along with patient’s family counseling 48 hours prior to surgery results in reducing day-of-surgery cancellations. Methods and measures: Pre-intervention data to calculate rate of cancellations was collected. Patient’s families were called 48 hours prior to surgery. A standard assessment checklist was used to cover pertinent points. A brief counseling session was also carried out regarding the surgery .In case of any concerns, attending surgeon and cardiologist were informed and a follow up call made on the day before surgery. A satisfaction survey regarding the effectiveness of the phone call was carried out after discharge from the hospital. Post intervention data was then collected and cancellation rate calculated. Results: Post-intervention, data from 144 screened patients was collected. Day of surgery cancellation rate decreased from 15.2% to 1.43 %( p<0.05) (fig 3). An average cost of $540 (Pakistan Rupee 80000) was saved per cancellation. Most families reported overall satisfaction with the phone call. Conclusion: Implementation of standardized protocol for preoperative assessment has decreased day of surgery cancellations, resulting in better resource utilization and reducing overall hospital costs. It has also helped in improving communication between patient’s family and heath care providers and improved overall patient satisfaction.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor with striated muscle differentiation. Most commonly developing in children or adolescents. Previously three subtypes have been described: embryonic, alveolar and pleomorphic. Spindle cell / sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare new subtype described in the latest edition of the WHO soft tissue, it develops in children and adults and it is subdivided into 3 genomic groups with different prognosis according to the latest advances in cytogenetics. We report a case of sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma in a 15-year-old boy with painful swelling of the forearm that has progressed for 3 months. Microscopic examination shows entirely tumor fragments, consisting of an eosinophilic hyaline matrix delimiting tumor lobules and nests, sometimes with a pseudo-vascular and alveolar appearance. Tumor cells have small, irregular and hyperchromatic nuclei with coarse chromatin and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Rare rhabdomyoblast cells are noted. Immunohistochemistry shows expression of Desmine; Myogenin; CD99; Myo D1 and loss of SMA expression.

We attempt to understand the cross-country impact of interest rate on macroeconomic economic activities among a few major economies such as advanced economies (US, Japan, and Germany) and emerging economies (China, India, and Russia). Using Generalized Impulse Response analysis of VAR model, we find that advanced countries' interest rate affects economic activities relatively higher than emerging economies' interest rate. Contrastingly, among emerging economies, China's interest rate influences economic activities of all while interest rates of India and Russia have either marginal or no impact on others' aggregate economic activities, including advanced countries.

Introduction: Eclampsia is a very serious and relatively frequent complication of pregnancy which is considered as ‘obstetrical tragedy’ to the unborn fetus the mother and to the obstetricians. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can reduce the maternal mortality due to eclampsia. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the maternal outcome of intensive care management for the critically ill eclamptic patients admitted in Dhaka medical college Hospital. Methods: This longitudinal prospective study was conducted in Eclampsia ward and ICU Ward of Dhaka medical college Hospital from January to December of 2004. Sixty Seven very critically ill eclampsia patients were included in this study. Relevant information regarding demographic, during pregnancy, complications, past history of eclampsia, history of antenatal check-up, including drug history were collected. Result: In this study among the 757 eclampsia patient, 67 (8.85%) were critically ill. Maternal mortality was 43.11% due to eclampsia. 70% patients had very high diastolic blood pressure, 44.77% patients have severe oliguria, and 61.69% patients had severe degree of proteinuria. 26.86% of patient’s level of consciousness was less than 5. Unavailability of bed is the prime (75%) cause of delay in shifting patient to ICU ward. Those treated by peritoneal dialysis recovered completely (100%). 25.37% patients had HELLP syndrome and 20.89% had CVA. The most common cause of maternal death in eclampsia ward was cerebrovascular accident 31.42% and in ICU multiorgan failure (33.33%). Mortality was very high among the patients who were with no ante-natal check-up (82.23%). Twenty patients received ICU support and mortality is 12 (60%), but among those 47 patients not received support mortality is 35 (75%). Conclusion: Many patients come to the Hospital at the terminal stages, not only with primary complications but also with many secondary complications. Therefore, a last minute best management effort should be given to everyone by when the complications are diagnosed, a teamwork approaches by multidisciplinary health care.

Most of the plants contain a variety of compounds that are principally active and work against the free radicals. Out of potentially active compounds in the medicinal plants, antioxidants are the most important of all the compounds. There are various flavonoids and antioxidants compounds that are actually possessing the chemical structure with the high stability. Seed biology is an intensive area of study, a reflection of the significance of seeds for several scientific areas. Animal mediated seed dispersal is important for sustaining biological diversity in forest ecosystems, particularly in the tropics. From an evolutionary perspective, the ability of plants to make seeds has conferred major selective advantages, accounting, in part, for the success of seed plants as the largest and most species rich group of land plants. It is important to remove the free radicals that are produced biochemically in the specific organ in order to keep as well as minimize the effects produced by the free radicals. The antioxidants possess certain properties that differentiated them to the other chemical compounds. Animals that are highly vagile are considered to be the most efficient at active dispersal. Highly vagile animals include many species of birds, bats, and large insects. Large aquatic animals are effective dispersers, and some terrestrial animals can disperse large distances on foot. Seed sensitivity to nitrate is affected by other environmental factors, such as light and after-ripening, and by genotypes. Biochemical eptides are the several types of the peptides that are found in the inner portion of the onions. These peptides are gamma-glutamyl-methionine, gamma-glutamyl-isoleucine, gamma-glutamyl-leucine and gamma-glutamyl-valine.
