Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease condition caused by a dengue virus infection. DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 are serotypes of the virus and are usually transmitted through the bite of mosquitoes from the stegomyia family, such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. DHF often results in extraordinary events (KLB) and can lead to death. The disease can be categorized into four different clinical stages: stages I, II, III, and IV. Laboratory examination in DHF usually shows a decrease in platelet count below 100,000/µl and the presence of leaky plasma, which can be seen from the hematocrit that has increased by more than 20%. Objective to determine whether there is a relationship between hematocrit value and platelet count at degrees III and IV in DHF incidence. This type of research uses an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. In the analysis, there is a significant relationship between hematocrit value and clinical degrees III and IV with a value of p = 0.043, and there is a relationship between platelet counts and clinical degrees III and IV with a value of p = 0.000.  There is a relationship between hematocrit value and platelet count in clinical degrees III and IV of DHF.

Abstract

Flood disasters often cause various health problems such as skin diseases, diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, and leptospirosis due to environmental contamination and limited access to health services. This community service activity aimed to provide free medical treatment for flood-affected communities as an effort to prevent disease transmission and improve public health status. The activity was carried out through health examinations, medication distribution, health education, and environmental sanitation counseling. The target participants were residents affected by flooding in the designated area. The results showed that most patients experienced skin infections, diarrhea, fever, and respiratory tract infections. Health education increased community awareness regarding clean and healthy living behavior after floods. Free medical services were proven to be effective in reducing complaints and preventing more serious complications among the affected population.

Abstract

Psoriasis merupakan penyakit peradangan kronik pada kulit berupa perubahan pertumbuhan dan diferensiasi epidermis, serta abnormalitas biokimiawi, imunologik, dan vaskular. Psoriasis dapat bermanifestasi pada kulit, kuku, dan persendian. Diagnosis psoriasis biasanya ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis dan gambaran klinis lesi kulit. Pada kasus-kasus tertentu, dibutuhkan pemeriksaan penunjang seperti pemeriksaan biopsi histopatologi dan pemeriksaan              laboratorium.                                   Secara histopatologi akan tampak akantosis, parakeratosis, elongasi rete ridge. Tampak neutrofil dan limfosit yang bermigrasi membentuk mikroabses Munro. Pada dermis akan tampak tanda-tanda inflamasi seperti hipervaskularitas dan dilatasi serta edema papila dermis. Pemeriksaan laboratorium pada psoriasis bersifat tidak spesifik. Pengobatan anti psoriasis berspektrum luas baik secara topikal maupun sistemik telah tersedia. Sebagian besar obat-obatan ini bekerja sebagai imunomodulator. Sebelum memilih regimen pengobatan, penting untuk menilai perluasan serta derajat keparahan psoriasis. Salah satu cara yang paling sering digunakan untuk menilai derajat keparahan psoriasis adalah dengan menghitung skor Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI).
