Abstract

Introduction: Epidemiological studies stated people rarely eat breakfast even though breakfast have an important role in human physicality, mood and short-term memory. Mood is the tone of feelings a person feels, while short-term memory is part of the cognitive system used to store memories for a short time.Aims: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between breakfast with mood and short-term memory among Medical Students of Pelita Harapan University.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study carried out on 133 students who were obtained based on the method of calculating, unpaired categorical comparative analytic samples. The sample population was taken by judgmental sampling on active students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Pelita Harapan in 2020 according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Digit Span Test Forward Span. The statistical test used was Chi square and Fisher Exact, with data processing using Microsoft Excel 2019 and SPSS 24.0.Result: There were 133 samples based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The majority of sample was female (54.1%), batch 2018 (37.6%), 20 years old (36.8%), used to breakfast (62.4%), had a positive mood (96.2%), optimal short-term memory (64.7%). The result showed no significant between breakfast intake with mood (OR 2.585; 95%CI (0.417- 16.034); p=0.364) and significant relationship between breakfast intake with short term memory (OR 2.773; 95%CI (1.325-5.801); p=0.011).Conclusions: There was no significant relationship between breakfast intake with mood, and a significant relationship between breakfast intake and mood was found. Further studies with larger samples are need to minimize biases in future studies.

Abstract

Background: Only a small percentage of patients (2-10%) report pain symptoms during varicocele or post-varicocelectomy. The cause of the pain remains unclear and is still a matter of debate. Neither conservative nor surgical treatments provide a conclusive solution for pain. Nerve blocks can serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in cases where the origin of pain is unknown. Case: A 30-year-old male presented with 4 year history of chronic scrotal pain, worsening over the past three weeks. The pain, rated 6/10 on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), was unrelieved by rest or analgesics and worsened at night and with prolonged sitting (NRS 7/10), significantly impacting daily activities. He had bilateral recurrent varicocele and underwent three varicocelectomies and ureteroscopy. Oral analgesics and neuropathic pain medications provided only temporary relief. The neurological examination revealed hyperalgesia in the distribution of the pudendal nerve. The imaging results were expected. Discussion: A notable reduction in pain was observed following an ultrasound-guided diagnostic pudendal nerve block with 2 mL of 2% lidocaine, confirming pudendal neuralgia related to varicocele or post-varicocelectomy. The pain is likely due to compression of the pudendal nerve branch by an enlarged pampiniform plexus.  Pulsed radiofrequency is utilized to provide longer-lasting pain relief. No complications were reported after the treatment.      Conclusion: Pudendal nerve blocks can alleviate scrotal pain and may be an alternative to genitofemoral and ilioinguinal nerve blocks. This is the first report of a successful pudendal nerve block for scrotal pain associated with varicocele or varicocelectomy.
