| Title: Jamu Gendong , a kind of traditional medicine in Indonesia : the microbial contamination of its raw materials and endproduct .
| | Journal: Citation: V : 63 ( 3 ) P : 201-8 Year: 1998 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub10030724 Accession (PMID): 10030724 | | Abstract: An examination on the microbiological quality of seven kinds of Jamu Gendong ( JG ) and their raw materials has been conducted according to the requirements of microbial contamination in traditional medicine , issued by the Department of Health of Indonesia in 1986 .
Samples of JG and their raw materials were taken from producers in three districts of Surabaya .
The samples were subject to the following examinations : total plate count ( TPC ) , MPN coliform , the enumeration of molds and yeasts , the presence or absence of Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella and Vibrio .
Each time the JG samples were taken from different producers together with their raw materials .
The results of this investigation showed that most of the JG samples were heavily contaminated with bacteria , yeasts and molds .
For bacteria , taken from the TPC results , their numbers were ranging from 7 . 7 x 10 ( 2 ) microorganisms/ml to too many to count ( TMTC ) .
For yeasts and molds the numbers showed variations from 0 microorganisms/ml to TMTC .
Contamination with Coliform in 1 ml of JG were ranged from 0 to > 2 . 4 x 10 ( 6 ) microorganisms .
In most of the samples pathogenic Staphylococci , Salmonella sp . and Vibrio sp . were not detected , so that a conclusion can be drawn that most of the contamination in JG are saprophytic , only a few pathogenic .
The results also show that it is possible to have JG which fulfill the governments requirements .
Similar results were obtained with the plant material constituents of JG such as rhizomes , leaves , herbs and fruits of Piper nigrum and Piper retrofractum , with the exception of Piper betle leaves and P retrofractum fruits , both showing low contamination of Coliform bacteria .
However , the fruits of Citrus aurantifolia and Morinda citrifolia were less contaminated , just like seeds of Oryza sativa , Parkia roxburghii , bulbs of Allium sativum and the pulp of Tamarindus indica .
With these plant constituents of JG , it might be of interest to screen their antibacterial and antifungal activities . | Matching Sentences:

| Title: Has this doctor-governor found the key to health reform? .
Interview by Berkeley Rice .
| | Journal: Citation: V : 70 ( 4 ) P : 46-8 , 51-4 , 56-8 Year: 1993 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub10124211 Accession (PMID): 10124211 | | Abstract: Under the leadership of internist Howard Dean , the nations only physician-governor , Vermont is adopting a comprehensive health-care plan that will revolutionize the way the states doctors practice medicine .
As Vermont goes , so may the nation , for Dean is one of the key advisers to the Clinton administration on health-care reform .
But if the Vermont plan serves as a model for the rest of the country , many doctors may find it a better pill to swallow .
Among other things , it could mean that nearly all the states physicians will , in effect , participate in a state-run HMO and be subject to global fees and budgets that will also cover hospitals ( see opposite page ) .
While the plans specific provisions are still being debated , Deans views have spread to other states and to the Clinton administration through his role as co-chairman of the National Governors Association task force on health care .
In a recent interview with Senior Associate Editor Berkeley Rice in the governors office in Montpelier , Dean discussed Vermonts new health plan , its importance as a model for other states , and his unique perspective as physician-governor .

| Title: The status of ORT ( oral rehydration therapy ) in Bangladesh : how widely is it used?
| | Journal: Citation: V : 12 ( 1 ) P : 58-66 Year: 1997 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub10166103 Accession (PMID): 10166103 | | Abstract: During 1980-1990 BRAC , a Bangladeshi non-governmental organization , taught over 12 million mothers how to prepare oral rehydration therapy ( ORT ) at home with lobon ( common salt ) and gur ( unrefined brown sugar ) .
This was followed by a strong promotion and distribution of prepackaged ORS by various agencies including the government .
In 1993 we assessed knowledge of ORT preparation , its local availability and its use for the management of diarrhoea .
Over 9000 households in 90 villages were revisited ; 306 government outreach health workers , 296 drug sellers , and 237 village doctors were interviewed ; 152 government facilities and 495 pharmacies/shops were visited .
ORT prepared by mothers in a sub-sample of the households was analyzed for chloride content and interviewers collected information on use of ORT for diarrhoeal episodes occurring in the preceding two weeks .
The data quality was assessed through a resurvey of sample respondents within two weeks of the first interview .
Over 70% of the mothers could prepare a chemically safe and effective ORS .
A significant proportion of these mothers were very young at the time of the mass campaigns using house to house teaching , implying an intergenerational transfer of the knowledge on ORT .
ORT was found to be used in 60% of all diarrhoeal episodes , but the rate varied with the type of diarrhoea , being highest for daeria ( severe watery diarrhoea ) and lowest for amasha ( dysentery ) .
Drug sellers and village doctors now recommend ORT much more frequently than before .
Members of the medical profession ( qualified and unqualified ) still lag behind in prescribing the use of ORT .
The availability of pre-packaged ORS in rural pharmacies has improved enormously .
There is convincing evidence that the widescale promotion in the past of ORS for dehydration in diarrhoea has led to this marked improvement today .
Nevertheless the use of rice-based ORS , culturally appropriate messages and the promotion of ORS with food offer opportunities to further improve the utilization of ORT .

| Title: The effects of climatic patterns and agricultural practices on the population dynamics of Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Asia .
| | Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop . Med . Public Health Citation: V : -1 P : 61-71 Year: 1976 Type: ARTICLE | | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub1027111 Accession (PMID): 1027111 | | Abstract: Annual population curves for C tritaeniorhynchus are presented for representative localities distributed from Pakistan , east through Southeast Asia and the Philippines and north to Japan and Korea .
In the dry temperature ( Pakistan ) and colder maritime climates ( Japan and Korea ) .
C tritaeniorhynchus populations apparently overwintered as hibernating adults , while in the warmer maritime climates ( Okinawa and Taiwan ) , gonotrophic activity and larval development continued throughout the winter months .
In these climatic types , the population curves closely paralleled the annual temperature curves .
In the tropical climates , however , temporal population patterns were closely related to available moisture either in the form of annual precipitation and/or rice irrigation .
The extremely variable environmental conditions tolerated C tritaeniorhynchus throughout its distribution attests to the physiological and ecological plasticity of this species and suggests that further ecological and genetic studies may reveal marked clinical variances among selected biological parameters .
