Abstract

Background: Attention and working memory functions have important roles in daily activities. Normal level of hemoglobin is required for optimum attention and working memory functions. This study aims to analyze the correlation between hemoglobin level, attention, and working memory scores in medical students who attended Atlas Medical Pioneer (AMP) Basic Program XXI.Methods: The total population sample for this cross-sectional study included 27 males and 19 females. The hemoglobin level was meassured by using cyanmethemoglobin method. Digit Symbol Test, Digit Span Forward and Backward Test, Trail Making Test A and B, and Stroop Test were used to assess attention and working memory scores. The study was conducted from September to November 2012 in Jatinangor campus of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran and Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. The correlation analysis was performed using computer.Results: The correlation between hemoglobin level in males and attention on Trail Making Test A score was (r=0.144) (p=0.474). While the correlations with theTrail-Making Test B and Stroop Test scores were (r=0.332) (0.091), and (r=-0.320) (p=-0.103), respectively. For females, the correlations with the Trail Making Test A, Trail Making Test B, and Stroop Test scores were (r=0.121) (p=0.622), (r=-0.232) (p=0.338), and (r=0.137) (p=0.576), respectively. Meanwhile, the correlation between hemoglobin level and the working memory on Digit Symbol Test, Digit Span Forward Test, and Digit Span Backward Test scores for-males were (r=0.256) (p=0.197), (r=0.419) (p=0.029), and (r=0.113) (p=0.576), respectively. For-females, the same correlations were (r=0.412) (p=0.080), (r=-0.299) (p=0.213), and (r=-0.028) (p=0.909), respectively. The only test that showed statistically significant result was Digit Span Forward Test in males.Conclusions: There is evident of weak correlation between hemoglobin level, attention, and working memory scores in medical students who attended AMP Basic Program XXI. This may be due to the confounding factors affecting attention and working memory as well as a small sample size.

Abstract

Background: Cognitive impairment is one of the most common post-stroke complications; however, neither patients nor health professionals are often aware of this complication. The impact of cognitive impairment on quality of life is reflected through basic activity daily living (bADL) and instrumental activity daily living (IADL). Prior studies concerning the correlation between cognitive impairment and activity daily living has shown contradictive results. This study was conducted in order to analyze the correlation between the cognitive functions and activity daily living in post stroke patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out to 23 post-stroke patients from September–November 2015. Samples were collected through consecutive sampling at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess the cognitive functions and Lawton and Brody Scale to assess both bADL and IADL. Spearman correlation was selected to analyze the existing correlation between each cognitive domain and activity daily living.Results: Spearman statistical correlation showed an insignificant correlation between the cognitive functions and bADL (r2=0.181, p=0.408) and a significant correlation with IADL was obtained (r2=0.517, p=0.03). The only cognitive domain positively correlated with IADL was orientation to time and verbal recall.Conclusions: There is a correlation between cognitive functions and IADL among post-stroke patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Cognitive impairment in thalassemia patients are prevalent, therefore early detection of cognitive impairment in adult thalassemia patients is crucial for prevention. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a public domain cognition screening tools that covers all cognitive domains in detecting mild cognitive impairments.Objective: To compare cognitive function between adult thalassemia patients and healty control by using Indonesia version of MoCA test (MoCA-Ina)Methods: This prospective observational analytic with case control study, compared the total scores and scores of each domain of cognition between adult thalassemia patients and healthy subjects at the Medical Hematology Oncology Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia using MoCA-Ina from August to October 2018.Results: A total of 32 thalassemia subjects and 50 healthy subjects were conducted. A total of 16(50%) subjects in the case group had a value of MoCA-Ina <26, while only 1(2%) healthy control had a value of MoCA-Ina <26. The median total MoCA-Ina score in case and control groups were 25.5 and 27.50 (p <0.001). The median score of memory domains, executive functions and visuospatial of the case and control groups were 3 versus 4 (p <0.001), 3 versus 3.5 (p <0.001) and 3.53 ± 0.671 versus 3.88 ± 0.385 (p <0.003), respectively.Conclusion: Adults thalassemia patients have lower score in total MoCA-Ina, domains of memory, executive function and visuospatial score compared to healthy control.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate prolonged neurological impacts of COVID-19 and establish a connection between initial COVID-19 symptom severity and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) development, poor sleep quality (PSQ), and cognitive impairment (CI) in individuals recovered from COVID-19.Methods:  This cross-sectional study recruited COVID-19 survivors at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia, between June and December 2021. All participants gave informed consent and underwent interviews on demography, clinical features, long-COVID questionnaire, and neurological examination. Participants underwent cognitive examination (MOCA-INA), Chalder Fatigue Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess CI, CFS, and PSQ variables. Chi-Square analysis was performed to determine the probability of neurological long COVID-19 syndrome manifestations using SPSS 24.0.Results: Of the 127 participants recruited, 67.7% were women, median (IQR) age of 33 (21-65) years, and time from hospitalization to examination of nine months (1-13). The most common neurological Long COVID symptoms were PSQ (59.8. %), CFS (51.2%), and CI (33.9%). Participants with more than five acute phase COVID-19 symptoms had a higher probability of CFS and CI (OR 2.38 (1, 16-4.9, CI 95%); OR 2.20 (1.01-4.79, CI 95%)) than those with less than five symptoms. The study did not find a significant correlation between sleep quality and number of acute-phase COVID-19 symptoms (OR 1.56 (0.76-3.20, CI 95%)).Conclusion: Almost two-thirds of the COVID-19 survivors experienced PSQ, more than half had CFS, and almost one-third had CI. The study revealed an increasing likelihood of CFS and CI in COVID-19 survivors as the number of acute COVID-19 symptoms increases.
