Abstract

Many patients think very simply about bariatric surgery, namely that after surgery the body soon becomes slim. In reality, carrying out bariatric surgery still follows the medical surgical procedure with all its complications, so the doctor must carry it out medically well and it would be ideal to follow standard guidelines.

Abstract

Introduction: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common chronic health problem associated with decreased quality of life and high morbidity. Many factors, including lifestyle, eating habits, medication, and mental stress, can trigger gastroesophageal reflux disease. A medical student who experiences high pressure during their training may have a GERD issue. Hence, this study aims to investigate the correlation between risk factors and the development of GERD in medical students. Methods: We used data from a cross-sectional study conducted at Soegijapranata Catholic University, Semarang, among medical students. Participants were recruited with inclusion criteria, namely all students aged over 18 years who were willing to fill out a questionnaire voluntarily, and were not undergoing treatment for gastric ulcers or mental disorders. Two questionnaires are used: a questionnaire developed to obtain demographic characteristics and a GERDQ questionnaire. A significant relationship is considered to occur if the p-value <0.05. Result: A total of 122 students were included. Among them, 23 students, consisting of 16 (13.11%) women and 7 (5.73%) men, suffered from GERD. It was found that nine people (7.4%) consumed NSAIDs, with a p-value of 0.014. Conclusion: The prevalence of GERD among medical students is relatively high, showing a significant link between the use of NSAIDs and GERD. Practical studies are needed to tackle the issue of uncontrolled NSAID use and to promote lifestyle modifications.

Abstract

Background: The gut microbiota affects Children's immune system, which interacts with the immune system to support a healthy body. Prebiotics and probiotics, alongside their combination in the form of synbiotics, have demonstrated significant potential for enhancing immune health in children. Objectives: This article aims to review the role of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics in supporting pediatric immune health by discusses their mechanisms of action, clinical evidence of benefits, and their impact on infection risk reduction, gut health enhancement, and improved vaccine effectiveness. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted by utilizing recent studies and clinical trials on the effects of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on paediatric immune health. Discussions: Prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics play a crucial role in supporting paediatric immune health by optimizing gut microbiota balance and facilitating the production of beneficial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which subsequently strengthen gut barrier function and modulate immune responses.  Prebiotics provide essential nutrients for beneficial bacteria, probiotics directly interact with immune cells, and synbiotics synergistically combine these benefits, demonstrating effectiveness in reducing infections, enhancing vaccine responses, and preventing allergies. Clinical studies highlight their potential to improve gastrointestinal health, reduce inflammation, and strengthen immunity, emphasizing their importance as safe and effective interventions for children's health. Conclusions: Prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics demonstrate significant potential in supporting children's immune health through mechanisms that improve gut microbiota balance and enhance immune function. Despite encouraging findings, additional research is essential to determine optimal dosages, long-term safety, and individualized strategies for their clinical application.
