Abstract

BackgroundAtherosclerosis is initiated by endothelial dysfunction, as a result of increasing degradation of nitrit oxide by reactive oxygen species, thereby increasing oxydative stress. Dyslipidemia is one of the risk factors of endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of blood pressure and serum lipid level with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in subjects aged between 55-65 years.MethodsA cross sectional study was carried out in 52 male and female subjects aged between 55-65 years. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, lipid profile, and CIMT were assessed in all subjects. The independent t-test was used to to analyze the relationship between all variables and CIMT. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05ResultsMean age was 59.19 ± 3.68 years, prevalence of thickened CIMT was 66.5%, and plaques were found in 9 subjects. There wwre no significant differences in age, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and lipid profile between normal and thickened CIMT (p>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in gender between the two groups (p=0.011). In females, mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher in the thickened CIMT group than in the normal CIMT group, but the difference was not significant (p>0.05). ConclusionsOur findings suggest that high blood pressure tends to increase CIMT in female adults. An increasing value of CIMT should be considered as a sign of cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Menopause is a condition in which the menstrual periods have stopped for the last 12 months due to cessation of ovarial functions causing estrogen hormones to decrease. Various studies find that many factors affect cognitive function at post-menopausal age among others the decrease in estrogens, age at menopause, duration of menopause, and education. However, the effects have been subject to controversy. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of age, age at menopause, estradiol level, and education with cognitive function among healthy post-menopausal women. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 31 post-menopausal women between 50 to 75 years old. Data on age, age at menopause, and education were collected using a questionnaire. The estradiol levels were measured using an electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA). The Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA INA) was used to assess the cognitive function. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS Age (b=-0.086; 95% C.I.=-0.263-0.090; p=324) and estradiol levels (b=0.106; 95% C.I.=-0.018 -0.230; p=0.092) were not significantly associated with cognitive function. However, education (b=1.537; 95% C.I.=0.176-2.898; p=0.028) and age at menopause (b=0.364;0.056-0.671; p=0.022) were significantly associated with cognitive function. Age at menopause was the most influential factor of cognitive function (Beta=0.402) compared to education (Beta=0.394).CONCLUSION Later age at menopause could increase cognitive function in post-menopausal women. Our findings are that modifiable factors that delay age at menopause should receive attention, in order to promote cognitive function.

Abstract

BackgroundCerebrovascular disease occurs due to atherosclerosis of the carotid artery triggered by endothelial dysfunction, which can be assessed by measuring the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). There are several risk factors contributing to endothelial dysfunction, such as 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency. A number of research studies have shown variable results on the relationship between 25(OH)D deficiency and endothelial dysfunction. The objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between 25(OH)D and CIMT in elderly women.METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 45 elderly women aged ≥60 years. The inclusion criteria were: able to communicate well and able to walk actively without any help. The exclusion criteria were: not having diabetes mellitus, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, not consuming vitamin D or medicines containing corticosteroids, and not using hormone replacement therapy. Laboratory examination was conducted for fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, and 25(OH)D. CIMT was measured using carotid Doppler ultrasonography at the left carotid artery. Simple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data.RESULTSMean 25(OH)D level was 11.753 ± 4.027 ng/mL, and mean CIMT 0.61 ± 0.10 mm. Simple regression analysis showed a significant relationship between 25(OH)D level and CIMT (β=-0.001; 95% C.I.=-0.020-0.003; p=0.009).CONCLUSION Our data suggest an inverse association between 25(OH)D level and CIMT in elderly women. This study supports the protective role of vitamin D against subclinical atherosclerosis in elderly women.

Abstract

BackgroundCognitive impairment and dementia are some of the major health concerns in the aging population. Many studies showed positive effects of physical exercise in delaying or preventing these conditions. Brain Gym ® exercises is a structured aerobic exercise involving head, eyes and crossing movements of the extremities in order to stimulate both brain hemispheres. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Brain Gym ® exercises sessions on cognitive function and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the elderly.MethodsA non-blinded randomized controlled study involving 64 healthy women aged >60 years who were randomized into Brain Gym ® exercises treatment group (n=32) and control group (n=32). Treatment group joined 60 minutes of brain gym exercises sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. The measured outcomes were cognitive function (assessed by mini-mental state examination [MMSE] questionnaire) and plasma BDNF levels. The outcomes were measured at base-line and after the intervention. An independent t-test was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe BDNF levels were increased in both groups after 12 weeks, and there was a significant difference between treatment group (41.26 ± 6,82 ng/mL) and control group (37.10 ± 8.11 ng/mL)(p=0.040). However, the MMSE score was not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.200).ConclusionBrain Gym ® exercises sessions significantly increase plasma BDNF level in the elderly population. In practical terms, we may suggest evaluation of the effects of Brain Gym ® exercises as a strategy in the treatment of disorders associated with central degenerative changes.

Abstract

Stroke is a neurological emergency that is characterized by sudden neurological deficits caused by vascular injury (infarction, hemorrhage) in the brain. In Indonesia, stroke is the main cause of disability and mortality. The mortality rate of stroke patients is closely related to the severity of the stroke experienced by the patient. Therefore, a scoring system is needed to assess the severity of acute stroke. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is used as the gold standard for assessing stroke severity. NIHSS also helps the treatment plan of stroke patients and determine the patient’s prognosis. The use of NIHSS in assessing the severity of acute stroke deserves further attention because it has a significant impact on the outcome of stroke patients during the treatment period.

Abstract

Cognitive function is a mental process consisting of knowledge, information processing, and reasoning. Cognitive functions include the domains of perception, memory, learning, attention, decision-making, and language skills. Assessment of cognitive functions consists of attention and concentration, executive function, memory, language, visuoconstruction skills, conceptual thinking, calculation, and orientation. Cognitive disorder is a maladaptive response characterized by impaired memory, disorientation, incoherence and difficulty thinking logically. Memorization involves various complex processes called basic cognitive processes which include encoding, storing, and recalling memories, because these processes occur in many memory systems that function differently but are interconnected with one another. Al-Quran is the holy book of Muslims that comes from Allah SWT and was revealed through the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Memorizing the Al-Quran can stimulate the neurotrophin factor. In adulthood, there is a decrease in cognitive function of 6.7%. Cognitive function can be assessed from the serum levels of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and serum Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor is a protein that increases the survival of neurons and synapses that play a role in learning and memory processes. Nerve Growth Factor is a protein that plays a role in the growth, development and maintenance of nerve cells. The purpose of this study is to explain physiologically the effect of memorizing the Al-Quran on cognitive function in terms of serum BDNF and NGF levels. Based on the results of several studies, it was found that memorizing the Al-Quran continuously can improve cognitive function.
