Abstract

More than 90% of individuals infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) exhibit skin abnormalities that can serve as important clues for early diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and assessing the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, the diverse presentation of skin problems often complicates clinical management. Methods: This article is based on a literature review of various international and national publications on skin manifestations in HIV patients, as well as dermatological management guidelines. The analysis focused on the types of skin infections, non-infectious conditions, side effects of ART, and recommended treatment strategies. Results: The literature review revealed that skin problems in HIV patients include fungal infections (such as candidiasis, dermatophytosis), bacterial (CA-MRSA, syphilis), viral (HSV, VZV, HPV, molluscum contagiosum), and non-infectious conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and severe drug reactions. These skin conditions are influenced by a weakened immune system, treatment side effects, and socioeconomic factors. Treatment requires a combination of ART therapy, dermatological care tailored to the type of skin problem, and psychosocial support. Conclusion: Skin manifestations in HIV patients reflect their immune system and quality of life. Comprehensive treatment, including ART, dermatological therapy, and a psychosocial approach, has been shown to be effective in reducing morbidity and stigma. The results of this study underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to improve treatment outcomes for HIV patients with skin problems in Indonesia.

Abstract

Cranial nerves are an integral part of the peripheral nervous system, playing a crucial role in transmitting afferent and efferent nerve impulses, particularly in the head and neck area. Unlike spinal nerves, cranial nerves have distinct functional nuclei in the brainstem, grouped into sensory (posterior and lateral) and motor (anterior) nuclei. The optic nerve is a purely afferent (sensory) nerve, responsible for transmitting visual information from rod and cone receptors in the retina to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and superior colliculus (SC) in the thalamus. The optic nerve's innervation pathway begins with retinal ganglion cells, which form nerve fibers, pass through the optic canal, and then cross at the optic chiasm. Disruption of this pathway can lead to various clinical manifestations, such as vision loss or visual field impairment, which will be discussed further. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the anatomy and function of the optic nerve is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of neuro-ophthalmological conditions.

Abstract

Acute tonsillitis is a bacterial infection characterized by painful swallowing, swelling, and redness of the tonsils. The purpose of this literature review is to improve understanding of acute tonsillitis, which is essential for patient care and a favorable prognosis. The method used is a systematic literature review. The results of this literature review indicate that tonsillitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the palatine tonsils, accounting for approximately 1.3% of outpatient visits. The condition is typically caused by viral or bacterial infections and manifests with symptoms such as sore throat, fever, odynophagia, and tonsillar erythema or exudate. Viral tonsillitis is often self-limiting; however, bacterial causes most notably Streptococcus group A can lead to significant complications, including peritonsillar abscess, acute rheumatic fever, and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to distinguish viral from bacterial etiologies. Clinical scoring systems, such as the Centor or McIsaac criteria, and microbiological testing, help guide appropriate management and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use. Early identification and intervention are critical to preventing complications and promoting effective recovery. In conclusion, the prognosis for acute tonsillitis is generally good, with most cases healing on their own without complications.

Abstract

Academic procrastination and academic stress represent two interrelated issues frequently encountered by university students and have been shown to adversely affect academic performance as well as psychological well-being. This literature review synthesizes current evidence regarding the conceptualization, contributing factors, and consequences of academic procrastination, while also examining the mechanisms through which academic stress influences procrastinatory behavior. Internal factors such as limited motivation, inadequate time-management abilities, insufficient understanding of academic tasks, and psychological and physical fatigue were identified as key determinants of procrastination. External factors, including heavy academic workloads, unclear instructions, peer influence, and inconsistent assignment deadlines, further intensify procrastinatory tendencies. Academic stress, defined as the condition in which academic demands exceed an individual's adaptive capacity, is associated with anxiety, sleep disturbances, changes in nutritional patterns, reduced concentration, and other physiological or emotional consequences. Evidence from multiple empirical studies indicates a positive and reciprocal association between academic procrastination and academic stress, suggesting that elevated stress levels increase procrastination, while procrastination, in turn, heightens stress. This reinforcing cycle underscores the need for targeted interventions. Recommended strategies include segmenting complex tasks into smaller components, reducing feelings of overload, managing perfectionistic tendencies, monitoring daily behavioral patterns, and employing self-reward systems. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between academic stress and procrastination is essential for developing effective academic and psychological support strategies for students.

Abstract

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a neurological complication often found on sepsis patients and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. It arises from systemic inflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, microglial and astrocytic activation, and oxidative stress which collectively contribute to neuronal injury and long-term cognitive impairment. This literature review aims to analyze the impact of coma duration on functional outcomes at discharge and long-term survival among patients with SAE. Literatures were searched through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar with a 10-year publication limit and selected based on topic relevance, study design, and data completeness and were analyzed using a narrative synthesis approach. Findings indicate that prolonged coma duration is strongly associated with poor neurological recovery, increased risk of disability, and early mortality. Conversely, early recovery of consciousness tends to correlate with better short-term functional outcomes. However, among survivors discharged from intensive care, coma duration doesn’t consistently predict long-term survival, although cognitive and quality of life impairments often persist. In conclusion, coma duration serves as an important prognostic factor in SAE, but it should be interpreted alongside other factors such as age, comorbidity, and the severity of sepsis itself. The scientific implications highlight the need for , infection control, and rehabilitative strategies to shorten periods of altered consciousness and improve neurological outcomes in the long term.

Abstract

Anemia is a serious health problem worldwide, especially in children, pregnant women, and women of reproductive age. Studies have shown that knowledge about anemia is associated with both the incidence of anemia and the compliance of adolescent girls in consuming iron tablets. This study aims to develop an educational media prototype about anemia in the form of a board game to increase the knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia. A research and development (R&D) approach was used, involving three main stages: (1) board game design, (2) prototype development, and (3) playtesting. A purposive sampling technique was used to select respondents from four categories: content experts, students, game experts, and adolescent girls. From this research, a board game prototype titled Anemopoly has been developed. In the student category, 2 respondents (15.38%) rated it as good and 11 (84.62%) as very good, achieving 94.15% of the maximum score. In the game expert category, 3 respondents (25%) gave good ratings and 9 (75%) very good, totaling 87.4%. Among adolescent girls, 3 respondents (25%) rated it good and 9 (75%) very good, totaling 90.53%. Overall, Anemopoly received very good evaluations from students, game experts, and adolescent girls.
