Abstract

AbstractCarpal tunnel syndrome is a collection of symptoms that occur when the median nerve trapped in the carpal tunnel. Whereas cubital tunnel syndrome is an event of trapping the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel and Guyon’s canal. Both syndromes are at the top of the list of cumulative trauma disorders, namely types of musculoskeletal and nervous system injuries due to repetitive work. There had not been much research on carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome, especially in repetitive movements such as fishermen in North Sulawesi. This was a descriptive study that aimed to obtain the profile of carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome in fishermen at Manado coastal specifically in Maasing by using a cross-sectional method. Typical symptoms were assessed based on subjective symptoms; tingling, numbness, pain, or waking up at night. Additional for carpal tunnel syndrome was objective symptoms found in examination of thumb opposition tests, pinprick test, Tinel’s Test, Phalen’s Test, and carpal compression test, and for cubital tunnel syndrome was of Froment sign, elbow flexion test, and Tinel’s test, and whether or not there was sign of Wartenberg. Subjects consisted of 45 persons and the typical symptoms of the syndrome were found in 24 persons; carpal tunnel syndrome in 47% of subjects and cubital tunnel syndrome in 27% of subjects. Typical symptom of carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome mostly found on subject under the age of 50 and work for more than 10 years. Both syndroms showed that paresthesia was the most common symptom.Keywords: carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, fishermen.AbstrakCarpal tunnel syndrome adalah kumpulan gejala yang terjadi saat N. medianus mengalami kompresi di dalam terowongan karpal. Sedangkan cubital tunnel syndrome adalah peristiwa terperangkapnya N. ulnaris di cubital tunnel dan Guyan’s canal. Kedua sindrom ini menempati urutan teratas dalam daftar cumulative trauma disorders yakni jenis cedera muskuloskeletal dan sistem saraf akibat pekerjaan berulang. Belum banyak dilakukan penelitian mengenai carpal dan cubital tunnel syndrome khususnya pada pekerjaan dengan gerakan repetitif seperti pada nelayan di Sulawesi Utara. Metode: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil carpal dan cubital tunnel syndrome pada nelayan pesisir pantai Manado di Maasing dengan menggunakan metode potong lintang dan bersifat deskriptif. Gejala khas dinilai berdasarkan gejala subjektif; kesemutan, mati rasa, nyeri, atau terbangun pada malam hari akibat kesemutan di tangan serta gejala objektif hasil pemeriksaan tes oposisi ibu jari, pinprick test, Tinel’s Test, Phalen’s Test, dan carpal compression test untuk carpal tunnel syndrome dan pemeriksaan tes provokasi Froment sign, elbow flexion test, dan Tinel’s test, dan ada maupun tidak ada gejala tambahan berupa Wartenberg sign untuk cubital tunnel syndrome. Subjek yang diteliti berjumlah 45 orang dan sebanyak 24 orang ditemukan adanya gejala khas sindrom; carpal tunnel syndrome pada 47% subjek dan cubital tunnel syndrome pada 27% subjek. Gejala khas carpal dan cubital tunnel syndrome ditemukan lebih banyak pada subjek berusia di bawah 50 tahun dan sudah bekerja selama lebih dari 10 tahun.. Pada carpal dan cubital tunnel syndrome, keluhan yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah kesemutan.Kata kunci: carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, nelayan.

Abstract: Aging is progressive declining process of many body functions, including cognitive function. Cognitive function is a conscious mental activity such as thinking, memory, learning, as well as language, and can be evaluated by using INA-MoCA. Chess is a popular game that requires intelligence. Some researchers believe that there is a close relation between cognitive function and chess. This study was aimed to determine whether there was any difference between the cognitive function of chess players and non-chess player. This was an analytic study with a cross-sectional study. Primary data were obtained from INA-MoCA score of the chess players and non-chess players. The results showed that in non-elderly category, the average score of INA-MoCA indicated that chess players had higher cognitive functions than non-chess players (p=0.43). In elderly category, the average score of INA-MoCA indicated that the chess players had better cognitive function than the non-chess players by 2.77 (p=0.03). Conclusion: Either elderly or non-elderly, chess players had higher cognitive function than non-chess players.Keywords: cognitive function, elder, chess, INA-MoCA Abstrak: Menua adalah proses penurunan banyak fungsi tubuh yang progresif, termasuk penurunan kognitif.

Abstract: Attention deficit disorders (ADD) is a medical disorder that has its own characteristics and tends to be hereditary. Generally, there are three types of behavior associated with this disorder, namely: lack of surrounding attention (inattentiveness), easily distracted (distractibility), and impulsive attitude (impulsiveness). This study was aimed to obtain the prevalence of ADD among adolescent gamers. This was a descriptive-quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. This study was carried out on regular gamers aged 12-15 years who were students of junior high schools. The total respondents in this study were 30 regular gamer teenagers. The digit span, backward digit span, and the stroop test were performed on all respondents. The results showed that among teenagers who played video games more than 1 time per week there were 36.67% with attention deficit disorders.Keywords: ADD, videogames, adolescents, digit span, backward digit span, stroop test Abstrak: Gangguan pemusatan perhatian (GPP) adalah suatu kelainan medis yang memiliki ciri tersendiri dan cenderung merupakan keturunan.

Abstract

Introduction: Autonomic dysfunction is one of the non-motor symptoms of parkinsonism but has not been of clinical concern. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of autonomic dysfunction with the severity of parkinsonism patients.Method: A total of 121 outpatient subjects in the Neurology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado, sample selection is done consecutively in analytic cross-sectional studies. The patient characteristics, symptoms and examination of autonomic dysfunction are recorded. Data were analyzed using chi square, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and logistic regression. Result: Almost all variables measuring autonomic function tended to show a higher degree of severity of parkinsonism (p < 0.001). Each increase in the SCOPA-AUT INA score tends to increase the odds of the Hoehn and Yahr stage (OR > 1) also in the greater orthostatic blood pressure difference test, older age, longer illness, longer treatment period, and use of a combination of antiparkinson drugs.Conclusion: Autonomic dysfunction is significantly related to the severity of parkinsonism.

Abstract

Background Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) challenges clinical management, with many patients failing to find relief. Medium-chain triglyceride diet (MCTD) and low glycemic index therapy (LGIT) are emerging variants of the ketogenic diet. MCTD and LGIT show promise but lack clear efficacy data. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of MCTD and LGIT in the management of pediatric patients with DRE. Methods Four databases were searched (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) from November 2024 to February 2025. Two independent reviewers meticulously screened titles, abstracts, and full texts, ensuring adherence to predefined criteria.  Data extraction encompassed study characteristics, participant demographics, intervention details, and outcomes, including seizure frequency, percentage reduction, and adverse events. Statistical analyses were performed using R 4.2.2 software, assessing heterogeneity with Cochrane Q and I² and utilizing random-effects and common-effects models. Results From 1489 articles found, 487 duplicates were removed, 897 were excluded based on title and abstract screening, and of the 47 full-text articles assessed for eligibility, 31 articles were excluded, resulting in 16 articles (9 MCTD and 7 LGIT) included in this review. The pooled estimates for the proportion of children achieving seizure freedom, ≥90% seizure reduction, and ≥50% seizure reduction following the intervention were comparable between the MCTD and LGIT groups. Based on the random-effects model, the overall success proportion of MCTD in reducing seizure frequency was 0.20 [95 % Confidence Interval (CI), 0.14-0.27] (p<0.01). Meanwhile, in the LGIT group, the overall success proportion was 0.27 [95% CI,0.14- 0.45] (p<0.01). Conclusion Both MCTD and LGIT demonstrate comparable efficacy, and no definitive conclusion can be drawn regarding the superiority of one diet over the other.
