Abstract

Background: In general, female students wear the headscarves for extended periods during daily activities. Prolonged headscarf use keeps the hair covered and pulled, creating a more humid environment with reduced oxygen flow and retained heat around the scalp. As a result, scalp complaints such as limp hair, dandruff, and hair loss (effluvium) are commonly reported among headscarf users. Both internal and external factors can cause hair loss (effluvium). To determine whether there is a relationship between headscarf use and hair loss (effluvium) in medical students of the University of Muhammadiyah North Sumatra class of 2020.

The number of samples in this study was 62. The sample in this study were students of the Faculty of Medicine, Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra, class of 2020. Results: The bivariate analysis yielded a p-value of ​​0.740 (p>0.05). with the number of headscarf users who are proper and experience hair loss and do not experience hair loss respectively 25 people (49.9%) vs 26 people (51%). While in the group of headscarf users who are improper, those who experience hair loss and those who do not are respectively 6 people (54.5%) vs 5 people (45.5%).

Abstract

Background: Skin cancer is among the most common malignancies, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and malignant melanoma. In Indonesia, it ranks third after cervical and breast cancer. This study aimed to analyze the demographic, clinical, and treatment patterns of skin cancer cases at Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia from 2019 to 2023. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using medical record data of all skin cancer patients treated from 2019 to 2023. Variables analyzed included age, sex, occupation, lesion site, skin cancer type, and treatment modality. Data were analyzed using univariate statistics and presented as frequency distributions. Results: A total of 106 patients were included, most aged >50 years (73.6%) and male (60.4%). Outdoor occupations, such as farming (23.6%) and entrepreneurship (23.6%), were the most common. Lesions were predominantly located on the face (93.4%). BCC was the most frequent type (90.6%), followed by SCC (7.5%) and melanoma (1.9%). Excisional surgery was the main treatment (51.9%), followed by excision with skin flap reconstruction (48.1%). Conclusion: Skin cancer in this study was most prevalent among older males with outdoor occupations, with the face being the most frequent lesion site. BCC was the predominant type, and excisional surgery remained the primary treatment. These findings provide an updated epidemiological overview to support prevention and early detection efforts in Indonesia.
