Abstract

Diarrhea is a common disease in newborns and toddlers that can cause death. One of the factors that causes diarrhea in babies is a lack of exclusive breastfeeding or failure to breastfeed for two years. Exclusive breastfeeding for 4 to 6 months is often considered a preventative measure against allergies and some diseases, including infections and diarrhea. The author intends to examine the relationship between formula milk consumption and the incidence of diarrhea in infants aged 0-6 months at Prof. Hospital. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Gorontalo City. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 32 newborn babies who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria at RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Gorontalo City. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using the Pearson Chi-Square test. The results for choosing the type of cow's milk formula were 83.8%, the results for the method of giving formula milk were found to be 75.7% which did not comply with the provisions, and the results for the method of making formula milk were found to be 72.0% which were not in accordance with the provisions. There is a relationship between the method of administration, selection and manufacture of formula milk and the incidence of acute diarrhea in infants with p<0.05. There is a significant relationship between giving formula milk and the incidence of diarrhea in babies 0-6 months at Aloe Saboe Hospital, Gorontalo. It is hoped that the public will be aware of how important cleanliness is in serving formula milk to babies

Abstract

Introduction: The rate of sudden cardiac death among athletes is notably high due to cardiovascular disorders. However, there is a significant gap in fundamental electrocardiographic (ECG) data within the athlete population, particularly in Gorontalo Province. This study aims to describe the electrocardiography findings using international standards for athletes in Gorontalo Province, aiming to prevent the risk of sudden death through proactive early detection via ECG.Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive design, we employed total sampling techniques with a population of 80 active athletes. Data was collected through direct examinations using a high-quality, internationally standardized ECG device, followed by thorough descriptive analysis.Results: The results indicate that 90% of the athletes displayed normal ECGs, while 6.3% were classified as abnormal and 3.7% as borderline. Among the various athletic disciplines, endurance athletes showed a notable 9.4% rate of abnormalities, whereas athletes engaged in strength and mind sports consistently exhibited normal ECG results. Moreover, athletes in the productive age group (19–39 years) demonstrated a higher incidence of abnormalities than their counterparts in other age groups.Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of early electrocardiographic screening in athletes to identify potential cardiovascular risks and prevent sudden cardiac death. The findings reveal that most athletes in Gorontalo Province exhibit normal ECG results, followed by abnormal (6.3%) and borderline (3.7%) patterns, which undoubtedly require further investigation. These findings highlight the importance of regular ECG screening for active athletes to detect potential cardiovascular abnormalities early and prevent sudden cardiac events.Keywords: Athlete, cross-sectional studies, electrocardiography, international criteria, sudden cardiac death

Abstract

Background: Appendicitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the appendix caused by obstruction of the lumen. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), appendicitis ranked eighth as a global cause of death in 2014. Objective: To describe the characteristics of post-appendectomy appendicitis patients at Aloei Saboe Hospital, Gorontalo, in 2023. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted in June–August 2024 at Aloei Saboe Hospital, Gorontalo. The population included appendicitis patients who underwent appendectomy between January–December 2023. Using purposive sampling, 98 patient medical records were analyzed. Data were described based on gender, age, and surgical procedure. Results: Most patients were female (64.3%). The highest age distribution was late adolescence (17–25 years) at 39.8%. The most frequent surgical technique performed was open appendectomy (53.1%), followed by other procedures. Conclusion: At Aloei Saboe Hospital, the majority of post-appendectomy appendicitis patients were female, predominantly in late adolescence, with open appendectomy being the most common surgical method. These findings are expected to provide useful information and education for individuals with high-risk factors for appendicitis.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias pose a significant burden on global health, especially in underserved regions with limited access to diagnostics. In Indonesia, particularly in the Gulf of Tomini, epidemiologic data on arrhythmia prevalence are scarce. Methods: The G-CARE (Gulf of Tomini Cardiac Arrhythmia Research and Exploration) study was a hospital-based, multicenter, cross-sectional study conducted from 2023–2025 across four referral centers in Gorontalo Province. Adults aged ≥18 years who underwent 12-lead ECG examination were included through purposive sampling. ECGs were interpreted by board-certified cardiologists and classified by arrhythmia type. Results: A total of 3,177 patients were included (mean age: 53.9±14.9 years; 54.6% female). Normal ECGs were found in 43.4%. The most common abnormalities were ischemic ST-T changes (18.9%, 95% CI: 17.5–20.3), QTc prolongation (15.5%, 95% CI: 14.2–16.8), and left ventricular hypertrophy (10.1%, 95% CI: 9.1–11.2). Atrial fibrillation/flutter occurred in 3.5% (95% CI: 2.8–4.3), AV block in 3.7% (95% CI: 3.0–4.5), and Brugada Pattern in 0.4% (95% CI: 0.2–0.8). Age-related increases were observed for AF, AV block, and QT prolongation. PVC morphology showed high-risk features (QRS >160 ms, coupling interval <300 ms) in young adults. Conclusion: The G-CARE study identifies a high prevalence of electrocardiographic abnormalities among adults undergoing ECG in outpatient settings within the Gulf of Tomini region. Because the study used hospital-based, purposive sampling of patients who had an ECG ordered as part of routine clinical care, these estimates may be amplified by selection bias and do not directly represent the general population. Rather than serving as definitive evidence to support mass, population-level ECG screening, our findings should be considered hypothesis-generating and supportive of conducting a properly designed population-based study (with probability sampling) to determine the true community burden and to inform screening policy.
