Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : High myopia is a severe and progressive form of myopia that can result in blindness. The prevalenceof high myopia is rising globally, and obesity has been identified as a potential risk factor, particularly in children and adolescents. This review aims to evaluate complex interplay between obesity and myopia in the young population. Methods : A systematic literature review was conducted through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases using relevant keywords. Abstract-only papers, case reports/series, and review studies were excluded, and only studies published in English between 2019 - 2023 were considered. The study selection process will be presented according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram. Results : This review analyzed four studies that involved 1.326.898 participants aged between 5 to 19 years. The majority of the studies found a significant association between obesity and high myopia (p<0.05). One of the studies reported that individuals with a normal BMI have a 40% lower risk of developing high myopia compared to those who are obese. Additionally, one study found that even a slightly higher BMI value, which is not yet categorized as obesity, was significantly linked to high myopia (OR 1.19; p=0.009). Conclusion : Most of the studies showed a significant association between high myopia and higher BMI, especially in cases of obesity. However, to establish a deeper understanding of the potential link between high myopia and obesity, further studies are necessary to consolidate data from a larger population and investigate the underlying pathological pathway.

Abstract

Abstract. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a disease caused by the Dengue virus and transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that this disease generally occurs in areas such as Southeast Asia and the West Pacific. WHO noted that there was an increase in the incidence of dengue fever in Southeast Asia by around 46% from 451,442 cases to 658,301 cases, while the death rate decreased by 2%, namely from 1,584 to 1,555 cases. This study aims to determine the characteristics of adult dengue hemorrhagic fever patients before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design with a sample size of 100 people who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Samples were taken using a non-probability sampling technique, namely consecutive sampling, which is a sample selection technique by determining subjects who meet the inclusion criteria and are included in the research for a certain period of time. The results show that ages 20‒39 years are the age group most frequently affected by dengue fever before and during the pandemic and the gender most frequently affected is women. This is because the Aedes aegypti mosquito actively bites during the day, when people are active. There was a decrease in the number of villages affected by dengue fever during the pandemic because some people came from outside the city. It was found that the majority of adult dengue fever patients had fever without bleeding or hepatomegaly and only experienced grade I. This was due to the faster screening process before and during the pandemic so that treatment could be carried out immediately before entering the next degree. Abstrak. Penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue adalah suatu penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus Dengue dan ditularkan oleh nyamuk Aedes Aegypti. World Health Organization (WHO) mengatakan bahwa penyakit ini umumnya terjadi pada daerah seperti Asia Tenggara dan Pasifik Barat. WHO mencatat bahwa ada peningkatan angka kejadian DBD di Asia Tenggara sekitar 46% dari 451.442 kasus menjadi 658.301 kasus, sedangkan tingkat kematiannya mengalami penurunan sebanyak 2% yaitu dari 1.584 menjadi 1.555 kasus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik pasien demam berdarah dengue dewasa sebelum dan selama pandemi Covid-19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif observasional desain cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 100 orang yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Sampel diambil dengan menggunakan teknik non-probability sampling, yaitu consecutive sampling yang merupakan teknik pemilihan sampel dengan menetapkan subjek yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan dimasukkan dalam penelitian sampai kurun waktu tertentu. Hasil menunjukan bahwa usia 20‒39 tahun merupakan kelompok umur yang paling sering terkena DBD pada masa sebelum dan pada saat pandemi dan jenis kelamin yang paling sering terkena adalah perempuan. Hal ini dikarenakan nyamuk Aedes aegypti aktif menggigit pada siang hari, ketika orang-orang sedang beraktivitas. Terdapat penurunan jumlah desa yang terkena DBD saat pandemi dikarenakan sebagian orang berasal dari luar kota. Didapatkan sebagian besar pasien DBD dewasa mengalami demam tanpa perdarahan ataupun hepatomegali dan hanya mengalami derajat I. Hal ini disebabkan oleh proses skrining lebih cepat pada sebelum dan saat pandemi sehingga dapat dilakukan penanganan segera sebelum memasuki derajat selanjutnya.
