Abstract

Background: The pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia as a primary cause of mortality among pregnant women remains unclear. It was suggested that angiogenic factors such as Soluble fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-1 (SFLT-1) play an important role in the causal mechanism of pre-eclampsia/ eclampsia. This study aimed to compare the SFLT-1 level in pre-eclampsia/eclampsia in pregnant women with that in normotensive pregnant women.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational conducted at three hospitals: Haji Adam Malik, Pirngadi, and Sundari Hospitals, Medan, Indonesia, from September to December 2014. A total sample of 60 pregnant women of the third trimester, including those with severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia and normotensive women, was selected for this study. The level of serum SFLT-1 was measured by ELISA method. The difference in mean of serum SFLT-1 levels between the two groups was tested by Mann-Whitney.Results: The mean of serum SFLT-1 level in women with preeclampsia was higher (mean=1692.69pg/ml; SD=540.64) than that in normotensive women (mean=1348.52pg/ml; SD=649.83). This difference was statistically significant (p=0.040).Conclusion: Level of serum SFLT-1 in women with severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia is significantly higher than that of normotensive women.Keywords: serum SFLT-1, pre-eclampsia, pregnant womenCorrespondence: Rebecca Rumesty Lamtiar.

Abstract

Learning and memory are one of the major functions of the central nervous system that are needed in everyday life. One ofthe factors that can improve short-term memory performance is by listening to music, one of which is classical music.Listening to classical music is thought to be able to form sufficient attention so that the incoming information is recordedproperly and forms a memory. This study was aimed to determine the effect of exposure to classical music on short-termmemory in medical students at the HKBP Nommensen University. The design of this research was true experiment researchin the form of pretest-posttest with control group. The sample was divided into 2 groups, each 18 students from the medicalfaculty who were completing their final project. Each group was given a short-term memory test using a memory test usingnumbers. After that, the classical music of Beethoven's Pathetique II was played for the treatment group for 30 minutes,while the control group was given a break. After 30 minutes, the test was take again and seen the score. In the group wasexposed to classical music, there were 4 students whose short-term memory scores were lower, 3 students whose shorttermmemory scores were the same and there were 11 students whose short-term memory scores were higher afterexposure to classical music. Based on the Wilcoxon test, there is a significant difference in short-term memory scoresbetween before and after exposure to classical music. Exposure to classical music has an influence on the short-termmemory of medical students at the HKBP Nommensen University.

Abstract

Lung function consists of ventilation, diffusion, and perfusion. One of the parameters used to assess the function of lung ventilation is forced vital capacity of the lungs. One of the factors that influence a person's lung function is body mass index. Some studies suggested that person obesity had a decresing of Forced vital lung capacity (FVC)The objective of this study was to see how the correlation between the Body Mass Index and Forced Vital Capacity in students of the Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universitas Negeri Medan. This was a correlative analytic study with cross sectional design. 63 male students of the sports faculty of Universitas Negeri Medan, aged 18-23 years and did not have smoking habits were selected as samples by purposive sampling method. The Body Mass Index was measured body weight and height while the measurement of Forced Vital Capacity was carried out using a calibrated Fukudo Sangyo brand. The correlation between the Body Mass Index and the Forced Vital Capacity of Lungs was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The mean value of the student Body Mass Index (BMI) is 22.77 with SD + 2.59. The average value of forced vital capacity of students is 106.44% with SD + 20.25. Based on the Pearson correlation test, there is a significant positive correlation between body mass index and forced lung vital capacity of the sports science faculty(p value = 0.008) with medium correlation strength (r = 0.302). The higher the body mass index, the higher the vital capacity of the student's lung force.

Abstract

Background: Height is one of the data in the forensic identification process. The process of measuring height will be difficult if the bones or body parts found are not intact. Estimation of height can be facilitated by measuring the dimensions of long bones, one of which is the humerus. Analysis of the correlation of humerus bone length with height can support in determining the formula for estimating height based on humerus bone length. This study aims to determine the correlation between humerus bone length and Batak tribe height at HKBP Nommensen University, Medan. Method: This research was a descriptive analytic study with cross sectional design. The research sample was 72 students, lecturers, and employees consisting of 27 men and 45 Batak tribe women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria at HKBP Nommensen University, Medan. Sampling is done by purposive sampling. Data analysis in this study was carried out by means of univariate and bivariate analysis using the Pearson and Spearman test methods to determine the correlation between humerus bone length variables and height variables. Result: The results obtained there is a strong correlation between humerus bone length and height in the Batak tribe with a correlation coefficient value r = 0.784 (p <0.05). Based on gender, men have weak and insignificant correlation strength with correlation coefficient r = 0.449 (p> 0.05) while women have strong and significant correlation r = 0.771 (p <0.05). Conclusion: There is a strong correlation between humerus bone length and Batak tribal height at HKBP Nommensen University, Medan.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Menstruation is one of the signs of maturity of the female reproductive organs. During menstruation a woman experiences bleeding through the vagina and also experiences some annoying things, such as changes in emotions and feeling pain in the pelvis and abdomen which is often referred to as dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is caused by increased production of prostaglandins which cause ischemic and stimulate myometrium contractions. Some factors trigger the occurrence of dysmenorrhea such as early manarche, elongated menstruation, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity and stress. Stress is the human body's response to the stressors it experiences. Stressful conditions alone can cause disruption to the working system in the human body including the endocrine system. Purpose: This study aims to find out the relationship between stress to dysmenorrhea in students of the Faculty of Medicine, HKBP Nommensen University Medan. Method : This study was a descriptive analytical study. The sample were 44 active students of the Faculty of Medicine of HKBP Nommensen University Medan who filled the criteria of inclusion and exclusion by purposive sampling. The data was analyzed in a univariate way to describe the average stress score and dysmenorrhea of the subject, normality test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and bivariate analysis using Pearson test method to determine the correlation between stress variables to dysmenorrhea. Result : Moderate correlation between stress to dysmenorrhea and correlation coefficient value r=0.495 (p= 0.000). Conclusion: The higher the stress score, the higher the dismenorrhea score in students of the Faculty of Medicine, HKBP Nommensen University Medan. Keywords : Stress, Dysmenorrhea

Abstract

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely-used indicator to assess nutritional status in adults. An increase in BMI escalates the risk of diseases related to obesity. There has been a global rise in obesity, and numerous studies on the correlation between BMI and lumbar flexibility show significant relationships. Given the importance of lumbar flexibility in daily activities, this research explores the link between BMI and lumbar flexibility among obese students aged 18-21 at HKBP Nommensen University. An observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on students from the Faculty of Medicine, spanning the batches from 2015 to 2018, excluding athletes and those with vertebral deformities or a history of chronic illness. Out of 50 male obese respondents at HKBP Nommensen University, Medan, the average lumbar flexibility was found to be 23.49 cm. A weak positive correlation was identified between BMI and lumbar flexibility with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.324. The results indicate that as BMI increases, lumbar flexibility also increases, although with a weak correlation strength. This contrasts with some previous studies, highlighting the unique nature of the sample population and the need for more comprehensive future research. For subsequent researchers, considering a larger sample size, different methodologies, or other factors influencing flexibility would be beneficial. although with a weak correlation strength.
