Abstract

Fear of failure is a person's response to the failure they experience and anticipation to avoid the bad consequences of that failure. Fear of failure can have both positive and negative impacts. Anyone can experience fear of failure, including medical students as students who are pursuing an education full of challenges and responsibilities. Medical students take a longer period of education and bear greater demands and roles than other students. To determine the level of fear of failure, the researchers used a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire, namely the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI). Universally, medical education educates students with the academic achievements that need to be achieved to obtain a license and guarantee a bright future. Without academic achievement and good achievement, degrees and job opportunities, even continuing education will not be easy to obtain. The level of fear of failure varies based on gender, academic year, Grade Point Average (GPA), interest in medical science, etc. Fear of failure shows a negative relationship with medical student learning achievement. Thus, fear of failure in medical students needs to be a concern for educational institutions in understanding student behavior and shaping the scope of teaching and providing counseling that can help medical students overcome the fear of failure.

Abstract

The development of therapy for inherited genetic diseases using CRISPR-Cas9 technology has shown significant progress. This article discusses the history and working principles of CRISPR-Cas9, highlighting its applications in the therapy of inherited genetic diseases. Current research focuses include diseases such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Genetic therapy with CRISPR-Cas9 involves editing specific genes to correct disease-causing mutations, opening up opportunities for more effective treatments. Regarding the use of this technique, there are various difficulties, such as potential off-target effects, ethical issues, and long-term safety. However, efforts continue to be made to improve the specificity and accuracy of CRISPR-Cas9 so that the development of effective delivery methods and improving safety has become a major focus of research. Potentially, CRISPR-Cas9 could become a more specific and personalized genetic therapy, opening up opportunities to treat genetic diseases at the molecular level and providing alternative therapies for diseases that were previously difficult to treat. In addition, this technology has the potential for early prevention of genetic diseases and the development of more affordable gene therapies. Interdisciplinary collaboration is key in optimizing the potential of CRISPR-Cas9 to ensure the development of genetic disease therapies that are ethical and beneficial to human health in the future.

Abstract

The gradual neurological disease known as dementia causes a substantial reduction in cognitive function, which impairs an older person's capacity to carry out everyday tasks on their own. Dementia is a serious worldwide health concern since its prevalence rises with age. Through a narrative literature review, this study seeks to uncover modifiable risk factors for dementia in the elderly. Utilizing the terms "dementia risk factors," "factors of dementia," and "dementia in elderly," information was obtained from databases including Google Scholar, Garuda, and NCBI. The results show that reducing alcohol intake, quitting smoking, managing diabetes mellitus, and engaging in regular physical activity are all effective ways to avoid dementia. Increased cerebral blood flow from exercise supports cognitive function and slows the progression of dementia. Quitting smoking and drinking less alcohol reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and neurotoxic damage—all of which hasten the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Controlling diabetes helps avoid hypoxia and vascular damage, both of which can worsen cognitive impairment. These lifestyle changes not only lessen the risk of dementia but also greatly lessen the financial, social, and emotional strain on people, families, and communities. This article highlights the value of early intervention through lifestyle modifications and how it can enhance older people's overall quality of life. It offers practical advice on how to lessen the effects of dementia, one of the most important health issues of our time.

Abstract

Cryptosporidium is a zoonotic protozoan parasite capable of infecting humans and animals, primarily transmitted through contaminated water or food. This infection is a leading cause of moderate to severe diarrhea, particularly in children from low-income regions and immunocompromised individuals, contributing to significant global morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of Cryptosporidium involves the invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, resulting in mucosal damage, villous atrophy, and increased intestinal permeability, leading to watery diarrhea. Local inflammatory responses exacerbate symptoms, while immunocompromised individuals often experience chronic infections with serious complications. Diagnosis relies on microscopy, immunofluorescence, and molecular techniques such as PCR, which offer high sensitivity and specificity. Supportive care is the mainstay of treatment, with nitazoxanide being the preferred therapeutic option for selected patients. For immunocompromised individuals, management is more complex and may involve immune restoration therapies, such as antiretroviral treatment for HIV/AIDS patients. However, resistance to conventional treatments remains a significant challenge, necessitating further research into novel therapeutic agents, such as KDU731, which has shown promising efficacy in preliminary studies. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies for Cryptosporidium infections. Additionally, it highlights the importance of prevention measures, including improved access to clean water and public health education. Enhanced control efforts are crucial to mitigating the global health impact of this infection, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children and immunocompromised individuals.
