Abstract

Respiratory system is affected by a novel type of virus known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The gold standard for its identification is the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test, despite being invasive and dangerous to medical workers during the sample-collecting process. However, major salivary glands including the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual, as well as smaller glands dispersed throughout the mouth cavity, release saliva, a hypotonic fluid, containing biomarkers that can be used to identify both local and systemic disorders, including SARS-CoV-2. This fluid can be utilized as a non-invasive, low-risk diagnostic test by medical professionals since it provides insights into patient's overall health. This study aims to determine the potential of saliva as a substitute for other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic methods. The results from analysis of 5 scientific publications, showed that saliva contained SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA, making it suitable for patient diagnostic testing. Considering the results, the fluid was discovered to be an alternative diagnostic test for patient with the virus.

Abstract

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) is a prevalent oral disease that detrimentally impacts the quality of life for those affected. One of the several factors that can trigger the emergence of RAS is stress. Psychological stress can adversely affect health and decrease the immune system. Studies in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology have shown the relationship between human behaviour, nerve function, and psychological stress, which can potentially act as a cause of disease and reduce the immunity of the oral mucosa. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the correlation between stress and the incidence of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis on bank employees in Tulungagung, East Java. It is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach, involving male bank employees with a marketing position, aged between 27 and 40 years. Data were analyzed and interpreted using the Chi-square test with a nominal variable data scale. The results showed that the asymp. value sig (2-sided) is 0.000, indicating a significant relationship. In conclusion, there is a relationship between stress and Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis.
