Abstract

Hearing loss in children may cause social isolation and poor communication skills, potentially affecting mental disorders and quality of life. Hearing aids (HA) provide auditory stimuli that can improve children's speech ability and influence their quality of life. A cross-sectional study in three special schools-B (SLB-B) in Semarang was carried out. A total of 82 children (7-12 years old) with severe hearing loss with or without hearing aids were included. Quality of life was assessed by the Hearing Environments and Reflection on Quality of Life (HEAR-QL) questionnaire. The results showed that 48 (58.54%) subjects used hearing aids, and 34 (41.46%) did not use hearing aids. The average subject's age was 10.77±1.56 years old. Hearing-aid use was associated with a good quality of life of children with hearing loss (p0.001). Good quality of life was found in 68.8% of children with hearing aids compared to only 2.9% in children without hearing aids. Duration of hearing-aid use (p0.001), mother education (p0.006) was associated with good quality of life of children, whereas gender (p=0.49), number of siblings (p=0.06), and socioeconomic status (p=0.63) were not. The quality of life of children who use hearing aids is better than without hearing aids.

Abstract

Introduction: Hearing loss and tinnitus may occur in pilots due to exposure of the high noise level (ranges from 104-110 dB) generated by aircraft/helicopters. In addition, flying time, acoustic trauma, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and smoking are risk factors of hearing loss. Objective: to identify the factors associated with hearing loss in the crew of the Indonesian Army Aviation Center, SemarangMethods: in the cross-sectional research, 114 military helicopter aircrews aged 20-58 years, working for the Army Aviation Center in Semarang were included. The exclusion criteria were history of previous ear surgery, infection of the outer and middle ear, the use of ototoxic drugs (kanamycin, cisplatin and carboplatin). The level of hearing loss and tinitus was assessed by otoscopy and audiometry. Whereas, tinnitus was obtained from the history taking. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and fisher's exact and Yates’s correction.Results: One hundred and fourteen subjects (mean age of 26.54 + 4.72) were included. Several factors such as flight time (p = 0.698), acoustic trauma (p = 0.151), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.596), smoking (p = 0.222), hypertension (p = 0.356) were not associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Several factors such as flight time (p = 0.706), acoustic trauma (p = 0.5160), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.789), smoking (p = 0.495), hypertension (p = 0.112) were not associated with tinnitus.Conclusion: There is no association between flight time, acoustic trauma, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and smoking and hearing loss.

Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains toxic compounds that can initiate an inflammatory reaction and infiltrate inflammatory cells. The nasal mucosa is the initial part of the respiratory system that comes into contact with irritating chemicals such as cigarettes. Prior studies indicated that Nigella sativa extract (NS) has thymoquinone, a bioactive compound with anti-inflammatory properties. Our study aims to determine the effect of different doses of NS on inflammation of the nasal mucosa in Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The study employed an experimental post-test-only control group design. Twenty-five Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of the five groups: negative control (K-), positive control (K+), and three treatment groups of P1, P2, and P3 receiving NS at the dose of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 g/kg bw/day, respectively. All treatment groups and the positive control group were exposed to smoke from 4 cigarettes/day for 28 days. The degree of inflammatory cell infiltration was evaluated using a histological scoring : 0 if normal; 1 if infiltration was less than 1/3; 2 if infiltration was between 1/2 and 2/3, 3 if infiltration of more than 2/3 indicating normal, less than 1/3, 1/3 to 2/3, and more than 2/3, respectively. The degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in group: K(-): 1.00 ±0.00, K(+): 1.00±0.00, P1: 1.00±0.00, P2: 1.00±0.37, and P3: 1.00±0.33. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant difference. The Mann-Whitney test revealed significant differences between the K+ and P2 groups (p=0.032), K+ and P3 groups (p=0.013), and P1 and P3 groups (p=0.049). In conclusion, NS can decrease the presence of inflammatory cells in the nasal mucosa in Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In chronic rhinosinusitis patients, there is a subgroup of patients with persistent symptoms after treatment, who often shows bone thickening and remodeling in their paranasal sinuses and described as osteitis. Osteitis can be evaluated by several methods, one of which is the Global Osteitis Score (GOS) AIM: To analyse the correlation between preoperative osteitis degree with the postoperative endoscopic scores in chronic rhinosinusitis METHOD: It was an observational study with cross-sectional design. We use GOS from CT scan before surgery and Lund Mackay’s endoscopic score 4 weeks after Functional Endoscopy Sinus Surgery (FESS). The analysis performed with Spearman correlation test. RESULT:  There were 30 patients as subjects. There statistical analysis test between preoperative osteitis degree with post operative endoscopic score showed p = 0.296 with r = 0.197. The analysis result between risk factors for wound healing with the postoperative endoscopic score were allergic rhinitis (p = 1.000), polyps (p = 0.624), and smoking (p = 0.309) CONCLUSION: There is no significant correlation between preoperative osteitis degree with the postoperative endoscopic score, but there is a tendency for a positive correlation between preoperative osteitis degree with the postoperative endoscopic score. There was no significant correlation between allergic rhinitis, polyps, and smoking habits with postoperative endoscopic score

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Oral mucositis is an injury of normal mucosal tissue with an acute inflammation of the oral, tongue, and pharyngeal mucosa after exposure to chemo-radiotherapy. Post chemoradiotherapy oral mucositis is commonly accompanied by painful swallowing or odynophagia. Povidone iodine 1% is an antiseptic mouthwash that widely used to prevent infections in the oral cavity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 1% povidone iodine mouthwash on the incidence of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck malignancy at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang.    METHOD: This study was single random blinded experimental study, with total samples of 44 patients with head and neck malignancy after chemoradiotherapy. The samples divided into treatment group of 22 samples with 1% povidone iodine mouthwash and control group of 22 samples with NaCl 0.9% recruited using single random sampling at Dr. Kariadi Semarang General Central Hospital in 2022. The effect of 1% povidone iodine mouthwash on the incidence of oral mucositis and odynophagia was analyzed using the Fischer Exact and Mann Whitney test. RESULT: In the 1% povidone iodine mouthwash group day 15th, 21 patients (95.5%) were found without mucositis and 1 patient (4.5%) with mucositis oral grade I. In the 1% povidone iodine mouthwash group, 21 people (4.5%) were found without odynophagia and 1 people (4.5%) had odynophagia. There was an association between oral mucositis and odynophagia on povidone iodine 1% group (p < 0.05).        CONCLUSION: Povidone iodine 1% mouthwash can affect the incidence of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck carcinoma. Povidone iodine 1% mouthwash can reduce the incidence of oral mucositis and odynophagia compared to placebo in patients with head and neck carcinoma.

Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal and paranasal sinuses mucosa that takes place for more than 3 months. The treatment paradigm nowadays depends on Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) in the hope to repair the damaged mucosa, restoring it to its physiological condition. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) could restore the natural barrier of the mucosa and stop the inflammatory cascade. Purpose: To understand the difference in the number of inflammatory cells in the post-FESS nasal mucosa in CRS patients that had been treated with HA. Method: This was pre and post-test, double-blinded, randomized control group study design of 22 CRS patients (range 18 to 55 years) in Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang from May to August 2019. All subjects had undergone biopsies of the inferior turbinate at the time of surgery and 4 weeks after surgery. The number of pre and post-test neutrophil, eosinophil and lymphocyte counts were compared between control and treatment groups. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and eosinophil-to- lymphocyte ratio (ELR) levels were also compared between the two groups. Data analysis was done using the Wilcoxon test. Result: When the pre and post-test treatment group and the control group were compared, no statistically significant difference was found between two groups except for ELR in the treatment group (p=0.028). Conclusion: ELR was decreased significantly in the treatment group. NLR level was also decreased but not significant. This study had shown that topical HA could positively modulate the inflammatory response. Keywords: chronic rhinosinusitis, FESS, histopathology, neutrophil, eosinophil, lymphocyte ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Rinosinusitis kronis (RSK) merupakan penyakit inflamasi kronik pada mukosa hidung dan sinus paranasal yang berlangsung lebih dari 12 minggu. Bedah Sinus Endoskopi Fungsional (BSEF) pada RSK bertujuan untuk memperbaiki mukosa yang rusak dan mengembalikannya ke kondisi fisiologis. Asam hyaluronat (AH) dapat mengembalikan penghalang alami mukosa dan menghentikan proses inflamasi. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui perbedaan jumlah sel inflamasi pada mukosa hidung pasca BSEF pada pasien RSK yang diberikan terapi tambahan AH. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pre dan post-test, tersamar ganda, desain penelitian kelompok kontrol acak terhadap 22 pasien RSK (berusia 18 hingga 55 tahun) di RS Dr. Kariadi, Semarang dari bulan Mei hingga Agustus 2019. Semua subjek dilakukan biopsi konka inferior pada saat operasi dan 4 minggu setelah operasi. Jumlah neutrofil, eosinofil, dan limfosit sebelum dan sesudah terapi dibandingkan antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan. Rasio neutrofil terhadap limfosit (NLR) dan rasio eosinofil terhadap limfosit (ELR) juga dibandingkan antara kedua kelompok. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon. Hasil: Hasil perbandingan kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol sebelum dan sesudah terapi, menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik antara kedua kelompok kecuali ELR pada kelompok perlakuan (p=0,028). Kesimpulan: ELR menurun secara signifikan pada kelompok perlakuan. Tingkat NLR juga menurun tetapi tidak signifikan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa AH topikal dapat secara positif memodulasi respon inflamasi. Kata kunci: rinosinusitis kronis, BSEF, histopatologi, neutrofil, eosinofil, limfosit

Abstract

Background: Occupational exposure to a variety of individual chemicals has been associated with olfactory dysfunction, which is important for many occupational groups that rely on intact olfactory function to perform their jobs and for their safety. We aim to determine the risk factors for nasal symptoms, olfactory disorders and mucociliary transport in spice factory workers in Semarang. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study. A sample of 600 factory workers filled out the NOSE Scale and QOD-NS questionnaires, having their ears, nose, and throat examined, and calculated the time in which the participants tasted sweetness after being given saccharin to the inferior turbinate. The analysis used were univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Of 600 respondents, 52.2% were women, 87.8% had reported no nassal symptoms, 81.5% had normal NOSE scale, and 83.3% had normal mucociliary transport. Risk factors for nasal disorders, smell disorders, and mucociliary transport disorders were age ≥40 years old, male, smoking, longer exposure time, obesity, and PPE use. Conclusion: There is a significant association between occupational risk factors and nasal symptoms, olfactory disorders and mucociliary transport disorders. The most influential factor is discipline in using PPE to prevent nasal disorders, olfactory disorders and mucociliary transport disorders.
