Abstract

The use of cotton buds is considered to be able to cause cerumen impaction in the external ear canal. However, the use of cotton buds in Indonesia is still quite high. This study aims to examines the relationship between the use of cotton buds and the incidence of cerumen obturans. This study used a cross-sectional study design involving 56 respondents who routinely use cotton buds. Based on the study, a significant relationship was obtained between the frequency and depth (p-value 0.026 and p-value 0.008) of cotton bud use and the incidence of cerumen obturans. Students who frequently use cotton buds have a 5.625 times greater risk of experiencing cerumen obturans compared to those who rarely use them. Students who use cotton buds up to the pars osseus (2/3 of the inner ear canal) have a 4.444 times greater risk of experiencing cerumen obturans compared to those who only use cotton buds up to the pars cartilaginosa (1/3 of the outer ear canal). In conclusion, health education programs regarding the use of cotton buds need to be developed to increase awareness of how to maintain safe and effective ear hygiene.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of cotton buds and ear complaints in Prima Indonesia University Faculty of Medicine students’ classes in 2021. The method used was analytic observational with a cross-sectional design. Data from this research analysis were obtained from questionnaires filled out by 70 students, consisting of 35 users and 35 non-users of cotton buds. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between the use of cotton buds and complaints of itchy ears (p = 0.000, OR = 28.632) and ear pain (p = 0.000, OR = 2.458), but no significant association was found with hearing loss, bleeding, or ear infections. We conclude that the use of cotton buds may increase the risk of itchy and painful ear complaints.

Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a long-lasting inflammatory disorder affecting the nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, and upper respiratory tract, marked by symptoms persisting for a minimum of 12 weeks. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of chronic rhinosinusitis patients at the ENT Head and Neck Polyclinic at ROYAL PRIMA Hospital, Medan. Methods: A descriptive research design with a retrospective data collection method was used through secondary data. The population comprised medical records of patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis at the outpatient polyclinic during the 2021-2022 period, totaling 80 records. Data were collected using purposive sampling, selecting the most complete medical records. Results: The distribution of chronic rhinosinusitis patients showed that the largest age group was 20-29 years (28.4%). Females were more affected (59.7%) than males (40.3%). The most common primary complaint was nasal congestion (28.4%), with the maxillary sinus being the most infected (47.8%). Medical treatment was predominant (55.2%) compared to surgical intervention (turbinectomy) at (44.8%), emphasizing the need for patient evaluation to ensure appropriate treatment. Conclusions: This study provides an overview of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients, highlighting that those aged 20-29 years are most affected, with a notable prevalence among females (59.7%). The primary complaints include nasal obstruction, facial pain, and headaches, often linked to inflammation and blockage in the sinus pathways. Treatment typically involves pharmacological therapy, while surgery is reserved for those with more severe cases, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies.

Abstract

Vascular disease, caused by oxidative stress and endothelial cell inflammation during hypertension's development, produces substantial mortality and morbidity. Mango mistletoe was tested for its effect on pulmonary superoxide dismutase (SOD) in hypertensive rats exposed to DOCA-salt in a preventative model. This study involves experimental quantitative research. SPSS was used for one-way ANOVA and post-hoc LSD testing. The population used was male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The samples used were 25 male Wistar rats divided into five treatment groups because of the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality analysis. The treatment group included a negative control group, a positive control group, and a group given different doses of mango mistletoe methanol extract: P1 at 75 mg/kgBW, P2 and P3 at 150 mg/kgBW, and P3 at 250 mg/kgBW. The study indicated that 250 mg/kg BW mango mistletoe extract increased SOD levels in DOCA-Garam-exposed Wistar white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Enhanced superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde (MDA), ureum, creatinine, and renal histology see this. The normality of study data in the complete group assessing SOD, MDA, ureum, and creatinine levels showed a significance value larger than 0.05. The significance probability and one-way ANOVA test values are more than 0.05. The study found that mango mistletoe extract contains saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and triterpenoids that increase SOD levels and repair kidney cells damaged by hypertension in Wistar white rats. The study examined how mango mistletoe extract affects mouse hypertension. However, its conclusions should not be applied to humans. Clinical trials are needed to determine mango mistletoe extract's safety and efficacy for humans.

Abstract

Hearing loss is a common health concern among the elderly that significantly affects quality of life. This research investigated the link between the type and severity of hearing impairment and quality of life, utilizing the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly–Screening (HHIE-S). A cross-sectional approach was used with 58 participants aged 60 or older at the Binjai Elderly Social Service Unit of the North Sumatra Provincial Social Service. The study involved pure-tone audiometry to precisely measure each individual’s hearing, along with the HHIE-S to assess the social and emotional impacts of hearing loss. Findings revealed a strong correlation between the severity of hearing loss and HHIE-S scores (r = 0.641; p < 0.001). The Kruskal–Wallis test showed significant differences in HHIE-S scores among various hearing loss groups (p = 0.024), with the mixed hearing loss group having the highest average score. Additional analysis using the Mann–Whitney test confirmed significant differences between the normal hearing and mixed-hearing-loss groups, as well as between the conductive-hearing-loss and mixed-hearing-loss groups.

Abstract

Tonsilitis merupakan peradangan umum pada tonsil yang sering terjadi pada anak-anak akibat kebiasaan makan tidak sehat dan kurangnya perhatian terhadap kebersihan mulut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan mengenai konsumsi jajanan cepat saji dan kebersihan mulut terhadap kejadian tonsilitis pada siswa/i SMP Swasta Amal Luhur Medan. Penelitian menggunakan desain observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, melibatkan 32 sampel siswa/i berusia 12–15 tahun yang diambil secara purposive. Data diperoleh melalui kuesioner yang mencakup pengetahuan kebiasaan makan, kebersihan mulut, dan kejadian tonsilitis, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil menunjukkan hubungan signifikan antara pengetahuan kebersihan mulut dan kejadian tonsilitis (p=0,01) serta antara kebiasaan konsumsi jajanan cepat saji dengan tonsilitis (p=0,02). Responden dengan kebersihan mulut buruk memiliki risiko lebih tinggi untuk mengalami tonsilitis dibandingkan dengan yang menjaga kebersihan mulut. Kesimpulannya, pendidikan kesehatan mengenai kebersihan mulut dan dampak jajanan cepat saji diperlukan untuk menurunkan prevalensi tonsilitis di kalangan siswa sekolah. Studi ini merekomendasikan penguatan program edukasi kesehatan serta revisi kebijakan menu kantin sekolah untuk menyediakan pilihan makanan yang lebih sehat.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak Channa striata terhadap kadar Malondialdehida (MDA) dan gambaran histopatologi jantung pada tikus model sirosis hati. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan randomized post-test only control group design menggunakan tikus putih jantan galur Wistar (Rattus norvegicus) sebagai hewan coba. Induksi sirosis hati dilakukan dengan pemberian karbon tetraklorida (CCl₄) selama enam minggu. Tikus dibagi ke dalam kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan dengan berbagai dosis ekstrak Channa striata. Parameter yang diamati meliputi kadar MDA jantung serta perubahan histopatologi jantung yang diamati melalui pewarnaan hematoksilin-eosin (HE). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak Channa striata dapat menurunkan kadar MDA secara signifikan dibandingkan kelompok kontrol, serta memperlihatkan perbaikan struktur histologis jantung pada tikus model sirosis hati. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Channa striata memiliki potensi sebagai agen hepatokardioprotektif melalui mekanisme antioksidan yang dapat mengurangi kerusakan jaringan.

Abstract

Comorbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension can have an impact on presbycusis, which is common in the elderly. This cross-sectional study assessed 58 senior citizens (60 years of age and older) at the Binjai Elderly Social Services Unit. Blood pressure (JNC 2017 categories) and blood sugar were measured, and pure-tone audiometry was used to evaluate hearing. Blood pressure and blood sugar levels did not significantly correlate with the extent of hearing loss in either ear, according to Spearman correlation analysis (all p-values > 0.05). These results imply that the degree of age-related hearing loss in this research is not connected with blood pressure or blood sugar levels.
