Abstract

Cryptococcus neoformans isolates were previously obtained from pigeon droppings in Jakarta. This study aimed to determine another source of infection and describe the supporting niche of the fungus. The occurrence of C. neoformans was evaluated in 110 samples of decaying wood and leaves, tree hollow debris, dust, and bird droppings. Yeasts isolates were collected from 22 houses of HIV-infected patients. The isolates were identified based on culture characteristics, an assimilation test, and URA5 restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction. The spatial analysis was conducted in geographical information system to determine dominant house and environmental factors. Seven of the 120 isolates (5.83%) were identified as C. neoformans, corresponding to four (18.2%) houses. All isolates were from house environments of HIV-infected patients with cryptococcal meningitis. Spearman’s correlation analysis and McNemar’s test revealed a significant association between cryptococcosis in HIV-infected patients and their environment. The clinical and environmental isolates were 100% identical based on molecular techniques, indicating that the patients acquired cryptococcosis from the environment. The spatial analysis revealed that house dust, soil, and leaves were the dominant distribution factors in terms of estimating disease prevalence. This study demonstrates that the house environment is a source of infection for cryptococcosis.

Abstract

Hypertension causes an increase in coronary artery calcium (CAC), which is a strong predictor of new-onset hypertension and occurrences related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in people either with or without hypertension. The medical application of CAC scoring to adjust hypertension management has received slight attention and is poorly defined. In Indonesia, research on the benefits of CAC assessment for hypertension is yet very limited. This study will show the association of hypertension with CAC rating, age, and gender. This cross-sectional study used secondary data in the form of medical records from 163 patients (88 men, 75 women; range 40-70 years) at Siloam Hospital TB Simatupang. Sample collection was carried out using consecutive nonrandom sampling. Only medical records with complete physical examination results and CAC scoring will be further analyzed. The Mann-Whitney statistical test was carried out using the SPSS 25.0 program to see the relationship between CAC scoring and hypertension, with a value of p=0.002 and a significance level of p<0.05. To assess the relationship between age and gender with the incidence of hypertension, a chi square test was carried out, with each value p = 0.011 and p = 0.141 (p <0.05). The results showed a relationship between CAC scoring and hypertension in late adulthood and elderly individuals.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis, often called TB, is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia is one of eight countries that accounts for 2/3 of TB cases worldwide. This disease usually affects the lungs, but can also attack other organs in the body. TB symptoms can vary depending on the type of infection and the organs affected. During the COVID-19 pandemic, attention to other diseases, such as TB has decreased. The increasing risk of spreading TB after COVID-19 is a public health concern. Restrictions on social movement implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic may result in an increased risk of TB transmission among close contacts of TB sufferers. People who have had COVID-19, especially those who have had lung damage due to COVID-19 infection, may have a higher risk of developing TB due to a weakened immune system. This Community Service is carried out to increase public awareness of the dangers of TB that continue to lurk after COVID-19 and it is hoped that through this outreach and education, the public will become more aware of the symptoms of TB so they can check themselves at Primary Health Care.

Abstract

Infestation with intestinal worms is a disease caused by parasitic worms, transmitted through the eggs present in the feces of infected individuals and contaminating the soil in environments with poor sanitation. It is estimated that around 1.5 billion people, or approximately 24% of the world's population, are affected by this disease. In Indonesia alone, there were 73,108,392 preschool and school-age children requiring preventive treatment for worm infestations in 2021. Worm infections are often overlooked due to the indirect nature of their effects, even though they can lead to long-term consequences, especially for young children, predominantly those in preschool and school-age. Preventive treatment measures implemented in Indonesia involve administering large-scale anthelmintic drugs to at-risk populations, which can reduce the number of worms infecting individuals. This intervention has the potential to decrease the morbidity associated with severe worm infestations. Furthermore, preventive measures to lower the prevalence of worm infections include educational campaigns on preventing worm infestations. With adequate knowledge of prevention methods, then communities can take steps to prevent the spread of these worm infections.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most significant events in history, impacting the global health system, as reported by the World Health Statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020. While its focus is on COVID-19, the pandemic has underscored the importance of respiratory health in everyday life. Throughout the pandemic, communities worldwide have learned more about the significance of maintaining a healthy respiratory system. However, with the end of the acute phase of the pandemic, attention to other acute respiratory infections (ARI) may have decreased. Diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, and others remain serious threats to public health. Therefore, this Community Service (PKM) aims to provide comprehensive education to the public, reminding them of the importance of maintaining respiratory health, recognizing ARI symptoms, and implementing appropriate preventive measures. This community service activity is expected to provide a deeper understanding of ARI and explain how simple actions can help prevent ARI, enhancing knowledge and awareness of respiratory infections.

Abstract

Abstract BACKGROUND The sodium salt of glutamic acid, monosodium glutamate (MSG), is a white crystalline compound (glutamic acid). MSG was first produced in large quantities in early 1963 by Korea and Japan which then spread to other countries, including Indonesia. The medical profession is concerned about the detrimental consequences of MSG because of its widespread and uncontrolled consumption. The histological differences between the cerebellum of MSG-treated and MSG-free rats are of interest to researchers. METHOD The Post Test-Only Control Group design was used in this study and used data collected for 14 days. This study used 30 male mice of the Swiss Webster type (Mus Musculus) which were reared as pure strains through inbreeding. Mice taken were 8 weeks old weighing 20 – 40 grams and divided into three groups, each consisting of nine mice with one tail in reserve for each group. One group as a control and two groups will receive MSG orally, each at a dose of 3 mg and 8 mg. Termination of mice was carried out by means of dislocation of the cervical vertebrae and continued with preparation of mice brain tissue preparations. Data analysis, which was obtained from observing the histological appearance of the mouse brain, used the Paired-Sample T test in the SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) version 20.0 for Windows with a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS In this study, there was no difference in the histological appearance of the brain cerebellum of mice in the control group and the administration of 3 mg and 8 mg of MSG. However, there was a greater increase in body weight in mice given 3 mg of MSG compared to the group given 8 mg of MSG and controls, the average weight gain was 2.87 mg. CONCLUSION After observing through a microscope on the brain preparations of control mice, MSG 3 mg and MSG 8 mg, no difference in histological appearance was found. But giving MSG to mice affects weight gain.   Abstrak LATAR BELAKANG Garam natrium dari asam glutamat, monosodium glutamat (MSG), adalah senyawa kristal putih (asam glutamat). MSG pertama kali diproduksi dalam jumlah besar pada awal tahun 1963 oleh Korea dan Jepang yang kemudian menyebar ke negara lain, termasuk Indonesia. Profesi medis prihatin dengan konsekuensi merugikan dari MSG karena konsumsinya yang meluas dan tidak terkendali. Perbedaan histologis antara otak kecil tikus yang diberi MSG dan bebas MSG adalah hal yang menarik untuk diketahui. METODE Desain Post Test-Only Control Group digunakan dalam penelitian ini dan menggunakan data yang terkumpul selama 14 hari. Penelitian ini menggunakan 30 ekor mencit jantan jenis Swiss Webster (Mus Musculus) yang dipelihara sebagai galur murni melalui perkawinan sedarah. Mencit yang diambil berumur 8 minggu dengan berat 20 – 40gram dan dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok, masing-masing terdiri atas sembilan ekor mencit dengan cadangan satu ekor untuk setiap kelompok. Satu kelompok sebagai kontrol dan dua kelompok akan menerima MSG secara oral, masing-masing dengan dosis 3 mg dan 8 mg. Terminasi mencit dilakukan dengan cara dislokasi vertebra servikal dan dilanjutkan pembuatan preparat jaringan otak mencit. Analisis data, yang diperoleh dari pengamatan gambaran histologis otak mencit, menggunakan Paired-Sample T test pada program SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) versi 20.0 for Windows dengan tingkat kemaknaan 0,05. HASIL Pada penelitan ini tidak ditemukan adanya perbedaan pada gambaran histologis cerebellum otak mencit pada kelompok kontrol dan pemberian MSG 3 mg dan 8 mg. Namun, terdapat peningkatan berat badan lebih banyak pada mencit yang diberikan MSG 3 mg dibandingkan dengan kelompok yang diberikan MSG 8 mg dan kontrol, rata-rata kenaikan berat badan sebesar 2,87 mg. KESIMPULAN Setelah dilakukan pengamatan melalui mikroskop pada preparat otak mencit kontrol, MSG 3 mg dan MSG 8 mg, belum ditemukan perbedaan gambaran histologis. Tetapi pemberian MSG pada mencit mempengaruhi pertambahan berat badan.

Abstract

Successfully treating tuberculosis (TB) could significantly help reduce its spread. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with successful TB treatment. A retrospective study was conducted in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, using data from the National TB Information System (SITB) covering patients from January 1 to December 31, 2022. Patients were classified into two groups: those with successful treatment outcomes (cured or completed treatment) and those with unsuccessful outcomes (including treatment failure, loss to follow-up, or death). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with treatment outcomes, providing odds ratios (OR) and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 2,225 TB patients (1,382 males and 843 females) were included in the study. Of these, 2,048 (92.1%) achieved successful treatment outcomes. Univariate analysis indicated that older age (OR: 0.47; 95%CI: 0.28–0.78) and a high number of AFB in sputum smears (OR: 0.23; 95%CI: 0.09–0.66) were associated with a higher likelihood of unsuccessful TB treatment. In contrast, having no HIV infection (OR: 13.44; 95%CI: 6.22–29.08), clinical TB cases (diagnosed clinically rather than bacteriologically) (OR: 1.50; 95%CI: 1.04–2.20) and longer duration of TB treatments were associated with successful treatment outcomes. Multivariate analysis suggested that the TB treatment durations of 4–6 months (aOR: 1256.95; 95%CI: 431.89–3658.19) and 7–12 months (aOR: 575.5; 95%CI: 99.1–3342.06) were associated with a significantly higher likelihood of success compared to durations of 0–3 months. In conclusion, this study highlights that a minimum treatment duration of three months was crucial for increasing the likelihood of successful TB treatment. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive support programs to ensure adherence to treatment guidelines and improve outcomes.

Abstract

Schistosomiasis (bilharzia) is a disease caused by blood trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, which can be acute or chronic. There are five species of Schistosoma (S. japonicum, S. mansoni, S. intercalatum, S. Mekongi, and S. haematobium) known to infect humans, which are distributed across a wide geographic range. Severe clinical symptoms of schistosomiasis infection on the central nervous system (CNS) are caused by the deposition of eggs when adult worms migrate abnormally to the brain or spinal cord. As a result, radiculopathy, myelopathy, increased intracranial pressure, and clinical sequelae occur. Each species shows different tendencies for atopic infections and clinical symptoms. The most common neurological symptom associated with Schistosoma mansoni or S. haematobium infections is myelopathy, while severe encephalitis is more likely to be caused by S. japonicum infections. The symptoms of encephalopathy can manifest as headache, vision disturbances, delirium, convulsions, motor limitations, and ataxia. Spinal abnormalities may lead to backache, lower limb radiating discomfort, muscular weakness, loss of sensation, and urinary impairment. Histopathological analysis, which shows granulomas and Schistosoma eggs, is necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Current management involves surgical procedures, steroids, and schistosomicide drugs. Corticosteroids are administered in the acute stage, and praziquantel is given after the female worm begins to lay eggs. If medical intervention fails to relieve compression or medullary degeneration, surgery should be postponed in some instances. The earlier a diagnosis is identified and proper therapy begins, the better the patient's outcome.

Abstract

Many studies have been conducted independently and collaboratively to find effective ways to control TB. However, the prevalence of TB continues to increase, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study highlights the breadth of research conducted worldwide and collaborative networks over the past decade. Between 2003 and 2023, 410 research articles on TB with comorbid diabetes were analyzed using the Scopus database, with an annual growth rate of 7.18%, reaching its peak in 2022. The keywords “tuberculosis” and “diabetes mellitus” were found to have a total link strength of 2895 and 3101, respectively. The most published articles on TB-DM were published in the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (23). Babu, Subash (23) authored the most TB-DM article publications. The National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis is the most productive affiliation (12), making India the country with the most published articles. Still, the Netherlands led in average article citations (32.8%), and the United States has the most collaborative link country (324). Visualization of the co-occurrence and co-authorship networks was conducted using R-Studio and VOS-Viewer. The study highlights the rising tuberculosis and diabetes incidence, identifies research trends, disparities, and bidirectional control innovations, providing valuable insights for policy recommendations.

Abstract

Penggunaan masker merupakan salah satu upaya pencegahan infeksi COVID-19, namun pemakaiannya saat berolahraga berpotensi menurunkan suplai oksigen dan menimbulkan hipoksia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan faktor fisiologis antara penggunaan masker KN95 dan non-KN95 pada komunitas pesepeda usia produktif. Penelitian eksperimental ini dilakukan pada anggota komunitas sepeda berusia 15–64 tahun yang rutin berolahraga, dengan eksklusi pada subjek yang memiliki penyakit jantung, asma, PPOK, pneumonia, kebiasaan merokok, serta konsumsi alkohol atau opioid. Peserta dibagi secara acak ke dalam dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok masker KN95 (KN95, KF94) dan kelompok non-KN95 (masker kain, masker medis). Parameter fisiologis yang diukur meliputi heart rate, respiratory rate, dan saturasi oksigen. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji t independen dan Mann–Whitney dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SPSS. Sebanyak 32 responden berpartisipasi dengan rata-rata usia 34,09 ± 8,8 tahun dan proporsi laki-laki sebesar 62,5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok masker KN95 memiliki heart rate yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok non-KN95 (135,75 ± 11,63 bpm vs 121,31 ± 13,35 bpm; p=0,003) serta respiratory rate yang lebih tinggi (33,50 ± 5,59 vs 28,38 ± 5,33; p=0,013). Selain itu, saturasi oksigen pada kelompok KN95 lebih rendah dibandingkan non-KN95 (96% vs 97%; p=0,025). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara penggunaan masker KN95 dan non-KN95 pada komunitas pesepeda usia produktif, di mana pemakaian masker KN95 meningkatkan heart rate dan respiratory rate serta menurunkan saturasi oksigen setelah aktivitas fisik sedang.
