Abstract

Since coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases discovered and became a global problem around the world, healthcare workers (HCWs) are the most frequently confronted with covid patient. The number of cases in Indonesia is quite high, including in Samarinda. Because this virus is very easily transmitted, the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) on all healthcare workers when carrying out their duties is a must. This applies not only to healthcare workers on duty at covid treatment centers, but also to all health agencies. Face masks, faceshields, medical gloves, coveralls are the types of PPE which used for a long enough duration, can cause unwanted reactions on the wearer's skin. If this reaction is very disturbing and ongoing, it can affect the compliance or influnce their quality of life. The purpose of this study is to determine the diversity of skin disorders that occur to healthcare workers related to the use of PPE, the types of PPE that can cause skin disorders, the relationship between the duration of PPE used and the incidence of skin disorders. The results of this study can later be used as a basis for recommendations of preventive measures for skin reactions. This research is an analytical descriptive study, taking data onto cross section using a questionnaire. The respondents of the study were healthcare workers that served for health institutions in the Samarinda region.

Abstract

Vascular calcification (VC) is a pathological process marked by the abnormal deposition of calcium phosphate in the vascular wall, leading to increased arterial stiffness and the development of cardiovascular disease. Previously considered as a passive degenerative condition, vascular calcification is now understood as an actively regulated process involving vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and is influenced by metabolic disorders, especially metabolic syndrome (MetS). Metabolic syndrome, defined by insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and central obesity, promotes vascular calcification via various molecular mechanisms, such as chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid dysregulation. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), particularly BMP-2, are essential for the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells, facilitating vascular mineralisation and influencing cardiovascular morbidity. Increased BMP signalling in metabolic syndrome is associated with heightened vascular stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, and greater arterial calcification. This review examines the intricate relationship between vascular complications and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the role of bone morphogenetic proteins in vascular pathology. An enhanced comprehension of these molecular mechanisms may facilitate the development of novel treatment strategies designed to mitigate cardiovascular risk and enhance patient outcomes.
