Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which is running slowly but surely, demands that people obey health protocols. In other views, Islam has taught how a Muslim should deal with the epidemic. Various factors that might affect public compliance with COVID-19 health protocols include demographic factors, knowledge of COVID-19, health status, and religiosity. Various studies showed that there was still controversy related to it. This study aimed to determine the correlation between compliance with the COVID-19 Health protocol with knowledge of COVID-19, self-health perception, and religiosity for the Muslim community in North Sumatera, Indonesia. This study was conducted between mid of October to mid-November 2020 on the Muslim population living in Medan City and Deli Serdang District, the most prevalent places for the spread of COVID-19 in North Sumatra. The questionnaires were distributed randomly to the online recitation group in the red zone in North Sumatra. Data collected by google form is distributed via the WhatsApp (WA) application. The results of the study were among 225 participants in the study, those who adhered to the health protocol were 125 people (55.6%), and the level of good religiosity was 120 people (53.33%). This study found that people who adhere to health protocols are related to older age, female gender, higher education, private workers, better knowledge of COVID19, and high religiosity. Religiosity is positively correlated with compliance with health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Logistic Regression analysis, religiosity turns out to be a good predictor for increasing compliance. Thus there needs to be a parallel effort between increasing knowledge about COVID-19 and community religiosity so that prevention efforts will be even better in the future

Abstract

Sugar sweetened-beverages (SSB) is not only found in soft drinks, fruit juice drinks, or energy drinks, but also various drinks that are currently "trending" such as boba drinks with various flavors, coffee or milk coffee, even tea or milk tea with various flavors. The lifestyle of consuming drinks that are high in sugar will lead to a tendency to several diseases such as prediabetes, diabetes mellitus (DM), metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Prevention and screening of prediabetes and DM at a young age in Indonesia must be increased, especially in high-risk groups because most of the initial conditions of the disease are asymptomatic. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between frequency of sugar sweetened-beverages (SSB) consumption and prediabetes in medical students. This study was an observational analytic study with cross sectional design conducted at Medical Faculty Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara. The subjects of this study was 70 subjects. Examination of frequency of SSB consumption was carried out with a validated questionnaire and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) of nutrient intake for the past 24 hours. There is no significant relationship between gender, family history of DM, smoking history, physical activity and hypertension with prediabetes. However, there is a significant relationship between obesity and prediabetes with p value 0,010. Meanwhile, the relationship between frequency of SSB consumption and prediabetes showed with p 0.05. There is no significant relationship between frequency of SSB consumption and prediabetes, but there is significant relationship between obesity and prediabetes.

Abstract

Abstract: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a drug with several indications such as analgesic, antipyretic, and antithrombotic/antiplatelet. ASA is efficacious as antithrombotic at low doses and used for thrombosis therapy in stroke, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. However, the administration of ASA made pharmacokinetic interactions that cause a vitamin C deficiency condition. This study aims to determine the effect of low doses of Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on the histopathological appearance of fibroblasts on fetal membranes. This study used a cross-sectional design using 54 paraffin membrane blocks as samples processed into histopathological preparations. The case group received low-dose ASA and the control group did not receive low-dose ASA. Histopathological preparations were observed using a microscope to see images / count the number of fibroblast cells. The results showed that there were significant differences between the number of fibroblasts in the case group and the control group with p = 0.001 or p 0.05

Abstract

Abstract: Worm infestation (STH) and nutritional status are ongoing health issues in Indonesia. Studies on their relationship are inconsistent, with some reporting a link and others finding none. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and STH infection among 68 students at SD 19 Muhammadiyah in Medan City. This was an observational study using a cross-sectional design and total sampling. Nutritional status was determined using the CDC-NCHS 2000 growth curve, and STH infection was diagnosed using the Kato-Katz method. A total of 12 students (out of 68) were found to have an STH infection. Of the infected students, 47% suffered from moderate malnutrition, and 53% were well-nourished. The most prevalent STH species was Ascaris lumbricoides, followed by Trichuris trichiura and Hookworm. The statistical analysis using Fisher’s Exact Test yielded a p-value of 0.203 (p 0.05). The study concluded that there was no significant relationship between STH infection and the nutritional status of the students at 19 Muhammadiyah Elementary Schools.
