Abstract

Cataract is the second highest number causing blindness in Indonesia. The common type of cataract that is often found in NTB Province is Senile Cataract. The definitive treatment for cataracts is surgery, however, several senile cataract sufferers at the NTB Provincial Regional Hospital still choose medical treatment over surgery. This has an impact on the quality of life. This research aims to explore the relationship between medical and operation treatment towards the quality of life of Senile Cataract patient. A systematic random sampling method was carried out on Senile Cataract patients at the Provincial Regional Hospital who had received medical therapy or surgery from January - March 2023. Data collection used a guided interview method by filling in the NEI-VFQ 25 questionnaire which specifically assesses vision. The total sample size for this study was 36 respondents (18 respondents for both surgical and medical treatment). Based on this research, it was found that the majority of subjects who received medical therapy had an adequate quality of life. The majority of subjects who received surgical therapy had a good quality of life. Through this research, it is also known that the best type of therapy to improve the quality of life in Senile Cataract patients is surgical therapy. As a conclusion, the medical therapy and surgery have a relationship with the quality of life of senile cataract patients at the NTB Provincial Regional Hospital, but they have differences in terms of the resulting quality of life.

Abstract

Thyroid carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates from the cells of the thyroid gland, and its incidence has been steadily increasing in the last decade. It is the 7th most common type of malignancy among women, after ovarian carcinoma, with nearly 80% of diagnosed cases being the papillary type. Triggering factors that contribute to the development of thyroid carcinoma include genetic influences, iodine deficiency, history of overexposure to radiation, and history of goiter. Various clinical guidelines have been developed for the diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This article aims to analyze the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and different treatment approaches for thyroid carcinoma, as well as explore new factors contributing to the increasing incidence of this disease. By doing so, the reader is expected to gain a deeper understanding of thyroid carcinoma. This article discusses important aspects such as epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and prevention related to thyroid carcinoma, so that the selection of management can be made more appropriately, and help reduce the rate of increase in the incidence of this disease.
