Abstract

Background: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune cause of hyperthyroidism marked by characteristic symptoms and abnormalities in TSH and FT4 levels. Management consists of an initial treatment phase followed by long-term maintenance, and variability in immune responsiveness may influence therapeutic outcomes. This study aimed to describe clinical manifestations and thyroid hormone profiles during initial and maintenance therapy among patients treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, from 2017 to 2022. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional design with total sampling was applied. Forty patients diagnosed with Graves’ disease were included. Clinical and laboratory variables were extracted from medical records, and univariate analysis was performed using SPSS v26. Results: The majority of patients were women aged 40–60 years. Palpitations were the most frequent symptom in both treatment phases, followed by excessive sweating, tremor, and exophthalmos. Treatment duration exceeded 24 months for the majority. Mean TSH increased from 0.11±0.17 µIU/mL in the initial phase to 0.62±1.03 µIU/mL during maintenance, while mean FT4 decreased from 47.09±32.79 pmol/L to 21.73±13.10 pmol/L. Discussion: The observed rise in TSH and decline in FT4 indicate biochemical improvement consistent with antithyroid drug responsiveness. The reduction in symptom frequency parallels hormonal stabilization, supporting the clinical utility of long-term therapy. The extended duration of treatment aligns with standard recommendations that emphasize sustained disease control to minimize the risk of relapse. Conclusion: Transition from initial to maintenance therapy was associated with symptomatic improvement and progressive normalization of thyroid function, emphasizing the importance of prolonged and well-supervised treatment in Graves’ disease.

Abstract

Introduction: Hand dermatitis is a common occupational skin disorder caused by repeated exposure to irritants or allergens. Workers in car and motorcycle wash services are particularly vulnerable due to their frequent contact with detergents and cleaning agents, as well as prolonged exposure to wet work. This study aimed to identify factors associated with hand dermatitis among workers in East Padang District. Methods: A quantitative analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 32 workers selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through direct interviews using a validated questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed, with chi-square tests used to evaluate associations between hand dermatitis and variables including working period, duration of contact, age, atopic history, personal hygiene, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Results: Hand dermatitis was identified in 65.6% of respondents. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between duration of contact (p = 0.020), personal hygiene (p = 0.027), and PPE use (p < 0.000) and the incidence of hand dermatitis. No significant associations were found for working period (p = 0.798), age (p = 0.211), or atopic history (p = 0.637). Discussion: Prolonged exposure to irritants, inadequate hygiene practices, and non-use of PPE likely heighten skin barrier disruption, predisposing workers to dermatitis. Conversely, factors such as age and atopic predisposition may play a minor role in this occupational group. Conclusion: Duration of contact, personal hygiene, and the use of PPE are significantly associated with hand dermatitis among car and motorcycle wash workers. In contrast, working period, age, and atopic history show no meaningful relationship. Strengthening preventive practices, remarkably consistent PPE use, is essential.
