Abstract

Background: Nearly one-third of febrile seizure patients suffered recurrent febrile seizures.  Several risk factors contribute to this recurrence, namely young age, family history of febrile seizures, low body temperature and rapid duration of fever before onset of seizures. Recently, the types of seizure and gender have been stated increasing risk of this recurrence. The objectives of this study was to identify the  risk factors of recurrent febrile seizures.Methods: A descriptive study was carried out by retrieving data from inpatient medical records during the period of January 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2013 at one of the top referral hospitals in West Java, Indonesia.  Variables of this study were the first febrile seizure age, gender, type of febrile seizure, a family history of febrile seizure, a family history of epilepsy, body temperature when febrile seizure occurred and duration of fever before onset of seizure. The collected data were tabulated by frequency and percentage and displayed in tables.Results: Out of 154 patients with febrile seizures 58 suffered recurrent febrile seizures. Forty three percent had a first febrile seizure at the age of under12 months, 72% were male, 46% had fever less than 24 hours before the onset of seizure, 65% had complex febrile seizures, 28% had positive family history of febrile seizures, and 5% had positive family history of epilepsy. Conclusions: The risk factors for recurrent febrile seizures are young age, male, rapid duration of fever before onset of seizure and complex febrile seizure. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v4n2.1086

Abstract

Background: Muscle area/size reflects the true magnitude of muscle tissue changes. Muscle strength is an active tension generated by muscle that depends on its capacity to exert force on an object. The relation between the quantity of muscle area and the amount of muscle strength is suggested. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between mid-upper arm muscle area/size and muscular strength.Methods: This analytic study with ten subjects (medical students) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteriawas conducted at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Padjadjaran in Jatinangor campus from 22th of April to 1st of November 2014. A skinfold calliper was used to measure triceps skinfold while a measuring tape measured the mid-upper arm circumference and a dynamometer measured the muscle strength. A formula was used to determine the mid-upper arm muscle area/size using mid-upper arm circumference and triceps skinfold. The collected data were analyzed statistically using correlation test and simple linear regression.Results: There was a strong correlation between mid-upper arm muscle area/size and muscular strength (correlation cooefficient 0.746). Moreover, the higher the Body Mass Index, the stronger the muscle strength was to some point. If the BMI was more than 25 kg/m2, this findings did not occurred.Conclusions: There is a strong positive correlation between mid-upper arm muscle area/size and arm muscle strength.

Abstract

Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a vestibular disorder marked by episodes of vertigo and triggered by a change in the head position. It is characterized by short yet severe episodes of vertigo and possibly accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The BPPV is usually idiopathic and foundamong people aged 46‒50 years old. There are pharmacological and non pharmacological treatment used for BPPV. Non-pharmacological treatment includes Epley, Semont, Lempert, Forced Prolonged Position, andBrandt-Daroff maneuvers and pharmacological onebenzodiazepine and antihistamines. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of patient with BPPV based on their complaint and prescribed treatment.Methods: This was a descriptive-retrospective study conducted on April–June 2014 using secondary data from medical records of patient with BPPV in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from 2009‒2013. The variables include gender, age, occupation, accompanying disease, complaints, supporting examinations, and treatment.Results: There were 74 subjects; 66.22% were female and 33.78% were male. Most of patients with BPPV aged around 41‒50 years old (39.19%). Furthermore, 93.24% had a major complaint of headache and spinning sensation, and >60% nausea and vomiting. The most prescribed therapy was Betahistine (86.49%). Meanwhile, a maneuver of non-pharmacological treatment was rarely done (8.11%).Conclusions: The BPPV occurs more in older women. The major complaint is headache and spinning sensation affected by the head position and accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Lastly, non-pharmacological treatment is rarely performed in handling patient with BPPV. [AMJ.2016;3(2):275–9]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n2.800

Abstract

Background: Basketball is one of the best aerobic-predominant exercises and the most important muscle used in this sport is the gastrocnemius muscle. This muscle plantar flexes the ankle when the knee is extended to maintain the balance and to stabilize the body during vigorous movements. Furthermore, the gluteus, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves may get activated when running up and down the court and jump in the air when doing basketball training. This study was conducted to compare the gastrocnemius muscle strength in basketball and non-basketball players.Methods: This analytical study was to measure the gastrocnemius muscle strength in basketball (n=16) and non-basketball (n=16) players, using hand-held dynamometer (HHD). Gender, weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI) and maximal gastrocnemius muscle strength were recorded and compared between groups. The study was conducted from August to October 2013 in the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran.Results: The maximal gastrocnemius muscle strength showed no significant differences both in basketball and non-basketball players for females and males with p-value 0.092 and 0.711, respectively.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in gastrocnemius muscle strength between basketball and non-basketball players in males as well as in females. Presumably, there are other muscles that take parts to develop leg power by doing the right weight-training exercises.

Abstract

Background : Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a muscle-derived myokine whose expression changes in response to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), primarily generated by cytochrome c oxidase complex IV (COX IV) in skeletal muscle. Moringa oleifera (MO) is known for its antioxidant potential, which may influence FGF21 expression and oxidative stress pathways. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of MO leaf extract on FGF21 mRNA expression and mitochondrial oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle under sedentary conditions. Methods:  This semiquantitative analytic study used 10 sedentary male Wistar rats, divided into control and treatment groups. The treatment group was administered 200 mg/kg of MO leaf extract, while the control group was given a standard diet and water for 12 weeks. COX IV and FGF21 mRNA levels in the soleus muscle were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis included the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, independent t-test, or Mann–Whitney test, with significance set at p<0.05.Results: The treatment group exhibited lower COX IV (0.6414 vs 0.7388) and higher FGF21 (0.9414 vs 0.7157) mRNA levels compared to the control group; however, the differences were not significant (p=0.354 and p=0.170, respectively). Conclusions: Although FGF21 may act as a therapeutic response to decreased mitochondrial activity, MO supplementation in sedentary conditions shows no significant effect on mitochondrial oxidative function or FGF21 expression. Nonetheless, these findings contribute to understanding metabolic regulation and highlight the potential role of antioxidants and active lifestyle interventions in promoting wellness and preventing muscle decline due to aging.
