Background Ibuprofen suppository is used to reduce fever inchildren who are unable to receive it orally. The effectiveness ofibuprofen suppository compared to that of oral ibuprofen has notbeen documented in Indonesian children.Objective The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy ofibuprofen suppository with that of oral ibuprofen for reducingfever in children.Methods This study was a randomized clinical trial without blind-ing on children aged 2-5 years with body weight of 12.5 to 16 kgwho had fever. Subjects received ibuprofen in either oral (7.5mg/kg) or suppository (125 mg) form. The temperature was mea-sured prior to ibuprofen administration, 30 minutes afterwards,and every subsequent half hour until the end of the sixth hour.Any observed adverse effects were recorded.Results Mean time needed for fever reduction was 2.72 (SD 1.1)hours in the suppository group, compared to 3.43 (SD 0.9) hoursin the oral group (P=0.004). The mean rate of fever reduction inthe suppository group was 0.90 (SD 0.4) °C/hour, while in theoral group it was 0.61 (SD 0.3) °C/hour. However, mean maxi-mum temperature lowering ability did not differ significantly [2.11(SD 0.7) °C for the suppository group and 1.99 (SD 0.7) °C, forthe oral group (P=0.489)]. There was no significant difference inmean duration of effect [220.8 (SD 83.0) hours for the supposi-tory group and 196.6 (SD 92.7) hours for the oral group (p=0.231)].Conclusions There was no significant difference between bothpreparations in maximum temperature lowering ability and dura-tion of effect. Temperature reduction was significantly fasterwith the administration of ibuprofen suppository

Background Childhood obesity is a widespread and growing problem associated with health problems such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. A lowô€—grade chronic inflammatory state, reflected by decreased adiponectin and increased highly sensitive Cô€—reactive  protein (hsCRP) levels, may play a role in metabolic syndrome associated with obesity.Objective To assess and compare adiponectin and hsCRP levels in obese and nonnal weight children.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, caseô€—controlled study in Manado from May to July 2010. Subjects were selected from obese, but otherwise healthy children aged 9-15 years. Control subjects were schoolmates 'With normal body mass index (BMI). We perfonned physical examinations, measured blood pressure, weight and height, and calculated BMI for all subjects. After an overnight fast, all subjects were tested for fasting blood glucose, adiponectin and hsCRP levels.Results The mean adiponectin level in the obese group was 3.6 μg/mL (SD 1.43), lower than that of the normoweight group, 4.8 μg/mL (SD 1.67) (P<0.0001). The mean hsCRP level in the obese group was 3.3 mg/L (SD 3.62) while that of the normoweight group was 0.8 mg/L (SD 1.39) (P<0.0001). There was no inverse correlation between adiponectin and hsCRP levels in obese group (r= 0.048; P= 0.362).Conclusions Lower adiponectin and higher hsCRP levels in the obese group is consistent 'With a low-grade chronic inflammatory state. Other factors that influence adiponecrin and hsCRP production or inflammatory pathways of other adipokines need further evaluation. Early intervention is needed to reduce body weight in obese children.

Background Sleep quality can be measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). One component of the PSQI is duration of sleep, which is often highly inadequate in adolescents. Inadequate sleep may lead to obesity in adolescents.Objective To assess for an association between sleep quality and incidence of obesity in adolescents.Methods This case–control study was conducted at Santo Thomas I Senior High School, Medan, North Sumatera,  from July to August 2015. A total of 227 adolescents were divided into two groups: the case group consisting of 101 obese adolescents and the control group consisting of 126 non-obese adolescents. Study data was collected by questionnaires and PSQI. We interviewed subjects on their food consumption for the three days prior and calculated their average caloric intake. The data were analyzed by non-paired T-test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and multivariate analyses.Results There was a significant association between sleep quality and obesity [OR 3.87 (95%CI 1.920 to 7.829)]. Median PSQI (range) score in the obese group was significantly higher than in the non-obese group [6.00 (2-16) vs. 5.00 (2-12), respectively (P=0.0001)]. In addition, sleep latency (P=0.002) and sleep duration (P=0.0001) were significantly different between groups. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between poor sleep quality and high caloric intake.Conclusion Sleep duration in obese adolescents is significantly shorter than that in non-obese adolescents. In addition, sleep latency in obese adolescents was significantly longer than that in non-obese adolescents.

Background Obesity has been associated with respiratorycomplications and it is believed to reduce lung volume. Obesityimposes additional stress on ventilation during exercise andmay even result in pulmonary function impairment. Exerciseinduced-bronchospasm has also been found in obese children.Lung function tests can be useful to confirm diagnosis, responseto therapy, or prediction of lung and respiratory diseases. Thepeak flow meter is an inexpensive, practical way to measure lungfunction, and can detect the early warning signs of a decrease inlung function.Objective To compare the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) beforeand after physical exercise in obese and non-obese primary schoolboys aged 6 to 12 years old.Methods A quasi-experimental study using the one group pretest-posttest design was performed on 30 obese children (BMI abovethe 95

Amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG) has been used widely in developed countries for years. It was initially developed by Maynard and Prior 1 in the early 1970s and later adapted for neonatal use by Hellstrom-Westas and Svenningsen 2 . It is especially used for monitoring term newborns after having survived from birth asphyxia.During the last decade neonatal health care in Indonesia has developed. Monitoring of physiological parameters such as ECG, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and temperature have been integrated inour neonatal intensive care unit but equipments like continuous EEG monitoring and aEEG to evaluate brain function have not been well-known among our neonatologists and pediatricians. The consequence is the de-crease of infant mortality was not associated with the improvement of quality of life of the survivors due to neurodevelopmental problems caused by various diseases during neonatal period. In the future, it can be prevented by using brain function monitoring in high risk newbornfor neurodevelopmental problem in conditions such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), prematurity, neonatal seizures, central nervous system infection, metabolic disorders, intraventricular or intracranial bleeding and brain malformation. This article gives an overview about aEEG and its role in newborn.Â

Background Donor blood screening test for antibody againsthepatitis C virus (HCV) by third generation ELISA is widely used.However, there is still a window period during which a donor mayalready be infected despite a negative screening test.Objectives To determine the prevalence of hepatitis C infection inthalassemic children who had received screened donor blood andto seek the association between HCV infection and the number ofblood unit transfusions received.Methods This was an analytic cross-sectional study. Sixty-sevenchildren who had received third generation ELISA screened donorblood were examined for HCV antibody. The study was conductedin Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from January toMarch 2004. The prevalence of hepatitis C was presented in per-centage. The association between HCV infection and sex, age,interval between transfusions, and the number of blood unit trans-fusions received was determined by univariate analysis and logis-tic regression analysis.Results In univariate analysis, significant difference between HCV-infected and uninfected subjects was found in the mean age andmean number of blood units transfused (P<0.001). In logistic re-gression analysis, we found a significant association between thequantity of transfused blood with positive HCV antibody (P<0.001).The odds ratio for positive HCV antibody was 1.08 for each bloodunit transfusion received (95%CI 1.02;1.14). The prevalence ofhepatitis C in thalassemic children who received third generationELISA screened blood was 22.4% (95%CI 12.4%;32.4%). Thisprevalence is lower than that in a previous study of thalassemicchildren receiving unscreened blood (50.8%).Conclusions The prevalence of HCV infection in thalassemic chil-dren who had received screened donor blood is 22.4%. HCV in-fection is significantly associated with the number of screened bloodunit transfusions

Background Some studies had been performed to determine theassociation between iron status and children's behavior yet it isstill controversial.Objective To investigate whether iron therapy has an effect onthe behavior of children with iron deficiency anemia (IDA).Method A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial wasconducted in Labuhan Batu on November 2006-April2007. IDAwas defined as Hb < 12 g/dl, MCHC< 31%, ROW index > 220and Mentzer index> 13. Elementary school children (6-12 yearsold) with IDA were randomly assigned to the treatment groupwith a daily therapy of 6 mg iron/kg/day or placebo group for three months. The subjects' behavior was evaluated with child behavior check list (CBCL) before and six months after intervention.Results After six months, 110 subjects completed the therapy.Scores of CBCL in iron group after intervention were internalizing42.64 (SO 9.95), externalizing 37.13 (SO 9.04) & total score 38.24 (SO 10.20). There was significant decreased on externalizing and total problems score in the treatment group after intervention (P< 0.05). However, there was no significant difference on scores between groups.Conclusion Iron therapy had significantly decrease CBCL scoreon externalizing and total problems in the treatment group,however there was no significant difference on scores if comparedwith placebo group.
