Abstract

Introduction: Technological advances in the machinery sector, have succeeded in creating a variety of machine products that in operation often produce noise that must be faced by employees in doing work. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with complaints of hearing loss in workers at PT. Pupuk Iskandar Muda Lhokseumawe. Method: This study used descriptive with a cross sectional approach. The study population was all workers as many as 200 workers with a sample of 133 workers taken using simple random sampling techniques. Data analysis using univariate, bivariate analysis with statistical logistic regression tests. Results: The variables worker age = 0.000, length of exposure = 0.000, working period = 0.000, noise intensity = 0.000, ear protection equipment = 0.000, which means worker age, length of exposure, noise intensity, ear protection equipment (APT). Conclusion: This study is that there is a relationship between worker age, length of exposure, length of service, noise intensity and ear protection equipment with complaints of hearing loss in machine part workers. It is expected that workers can comply with the regulations set by the factory and pay more attention to occupational safety and health.

Abstract

Intracranial germinoma is a rare midline CNS tumor, most commonly arising in the suprasellar or pineal regions. Suprasellar lesions frequently cause hypothalamic–pituitary dysfunction, resulting in diabetes insipidus, endocrine abnormalities, and visual impairment. We report a 21-year-old man with a two-year history of progressive visual blurring and polyuria polydipsia that culminated in acute loss of consciousness. Imaging revealed a suprasellar mass, and clinical deterioration required intensive care admission. Craniotomy was performed for tumor decompression and histopathological diagnosis, confirming germinoma. Postoperative radiotherapy led to recovery of consciousness after the third session and marked tumor regression to approximately 1 cm, demonstrating the tumor’s high radiosensitivity. Despite favorable oncologic response, residual deficits persisted, including left-sided visual blurring, complete right-eye blindness, severe hypocortisolemia, and low prolactin levels requiring hormone replacement therapy. This case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, individualized treatment, and multidisciplinary management to achieve tumor control while addressing long term neurological and endocrine sequelae. Survivorship-focused care integrating endocrinology, rehabilitation, psychosocial support, and adherence monitoring is essential, particularly in resource-limited settings, to improve treatment continuity, reduce complications, and enhance quality of life among young brain tumor survivors.
