Abstract

Introduction: As a result of today's technology advancements, many people, including youngsters, are spending more time watching television, playing video games, or using social media on computers or phones. Sedentary lifestyle refers to behaviors like these. Students' activities became passive as a result of studying online at home. As a result, the chance of acquiring more weight and eventually being obese increases. That is the basic issue addressed in the study. The majority of youngsters spend their time on video games, television, or social networking. One of the signs of a sedentary lifestyle is a lack of physical activity. In youngsters, a lack of physical activity might raise the chance of being overweight or obese.Objective: The purpose of this study is to look into the link between a sedentary lifestyle and a high BMI among Jayapura Christian School Junior High School students.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including Jayapura Christian School Junior High School students. Purposive sampling is a strategy for collecting data. The Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ) was used to collect data and determine Sedentary Lifestyle. In addition, BMI categories were utilized to determine whether someone was normal, overweight, or obese.Results: The majority of the respondents have an overweight or obese BMI (n=35; 67.3 percent) and a normal BMI (n=17; 32.7 percent), as well as a heavy sedentary lifestyle (n=45; 86.5 percent) and a moderate or light (n=7; 13.5 percent) lifestyle. Using the chi-square statistical test, the results of the two variables analysis, sedentary lifestyle and body mass index category, yielded a p-value of 0.003 and an odds ratio of 17.37 (95 percent CI:2.262-440.1). When compared to students who have a mild or moderate sedentary lifestyle, students with a severe sedentary lifestyle have odds 17.37 times higher chance of having a BMI above normal.Conclusions: There is a substantial link between a sedentary lifestyle and a BMI over the usual limit among Jayapura Christian School Junior High School students.

Abstract

In light of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination programs being implemented worldwide, this study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance survey in Indonesia conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (NITAG), and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), published in November 2020. It was found that Sumatra Island having lower COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates, with Aceh Province displaying the lowest level of vaccine acceptance. Thus, a cross-sectional study was conducted, and a logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Out of 368 respondents who participated in the survey, 143 (38.9%) accepted the vaccine, and 225 (61.1%) refused it. Vaccine safety concerns constituted the most reported reason for refusal (43.6%). This study also found that province of residence and basic immunization status were determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Sumatra. Concerns regarding vaccine safety might be the reason for the low level of vaccination in Sumatra. Increased education and encouragement from healthcare professionals and regional authority figures can alleviate public concerns and improve vaccine acceptance.

Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common malignancy among men and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. MRI evaluation using prostate imaging and data system (PI-RADS) v2.1 is widely applied to detect clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). However, data on its diagnostic performance in Indonesian population remain limited.   Methods: An analytical observational study with retrospective cross-sectional design was conducted on patients with PI-RADS category 3-5 who underwent MRI fusion prostate biopsy at Siloam Hospitals Kebon Jeruk between 2021 and 2025. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and accuracy of PI-RADS v2.1 were evaluated against histopathological findings. Statistical analyses include Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney U test.   Result: A total of 75 patients were included, with a median age of 71 years (range: 49-84). The csPCa detection rates for each PI-RADS category were 14.29% for PI-RADS 3, 48.28% for PI-RADS 4 and 89.74% for PI-RADS 5. Histopathology confirmed csPCa in 50 patients (66.67%) and non-csPCa or benign lesions in 25 patients. The sensitivity of PI-RADS v2.1 at a cutoff ≥4 was 98% (95% CI 89.35–99.95), specificity 24% (95% CI 9.36–45.13), positive predictive value (PPV) 72.06%, negative predictive value (NPV) 85.71%, and overall accuracy 73.33% (95% CI 61.86–82.89). Bivariate analysis showed that older age, higher PSA, larger lesion size, PSA density ≥0.15 ng/ml2, and PIRADS 4/5 category were significantly associated with csPCa.   Conclusions: PI-RADS v2.1 demonstrates very high sensitivity and good NPV for excluding csPCa but has low specificity, resulting in moderate overall accuracy (73.33%).

Abstract

Background Neonatal sepsis requires prompt antimicrobial treatment. A lack of information on patterns of antibiotic resistance among the bacteria across hospitals hinders the treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to changes in neonatal infection patterns and antimicrobial resistance.  Data describing these changes remain scarce in Indonesia. Objective To determine the spectrum of pathogens and their antibiotic resistance patterns among Indonesian neonates with sepsis, prior and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This retrospective study  was done to examine patterns of pathogens and antibiotic resistance in neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) at Siloam Hospital Kebon Jeruk and Lippo Cikarang for 6 years, i.e., January 2018 to December 2020 (“Prior/Early COVID-19 Pandemic” or first phase) and January 2021 to December 2023 (“Mid/Late COVID-19 Pandemic” or second phase). The inclusion criteria were newborns with suspected or proven sepsis who underwent microbiological specimen collection for the assessment of antimicrobial resistance. We compared patterns of isolated pathogens and their antibiotic resistance of neonates with sepsis in two private hospitals, prior and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results There were more participants in the first phase than in the second phase (44 vs. 33, respectively), resulting in more pathogenic isolates in the former than the latter phase (43 vs. 23, respectively). There were more Gram-negative bacteria detected than Gram-positive bacteria, although a reduction of several Gram-negative bacterial species from the order of Enterobacterales (including Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli) was detected in the second phase. The resistance of Enterobacterales to gentamicin and third-generation cephalosporins was substantially increased in the second phase. Conclusion Despite an overall decline in isolate numbers, the observed increase in antibiotic resistance among Enterobacterales in the second phase may reflect suboptimal stewardship and indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic. This highlights the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance in neonatal sepsis management in Indonesia.
