Abstract

Tooth loss in older adults can impair chewing function, speech, aesthetics, and quality of life. Removable partial dentures (RPDs) can restore these functions; however, their utilization remains low. Preliminary interviews with 10 older adults in Lantek Timur Village, Bangkalan, Madura showed that all respondents had experienced tooth loss, but none used removable partial dentures. Therefore, the research problem is the low utilization of removable partial dentures among older adults in Lantek Timur Village, Bangkalan, Madura, in 2025.This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge of removable partial denture (RPD) use and the quality of life of older adults in Lantek Timur Village, Bangkalan, Madura. An analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The study included 37 older adults selected using a total sampling technique. The independent variable was knowledge of RPD use, while the dependent variable was the quality of life of older adults. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire on RPD use and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), a validated instrument widely used to assess the impact of oral health conditions on quality of life. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The strength of the association between knowledge of RPD use and quality of life was assessed using Cramer's V derived from the Chi-square analysis.The results showed that most older adults had poor knowledge of RPD use and experienced a severe impact on their quality of life. The Chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.007, while Cramer's V was 0.596, indicating a statistically significant relationship between knowledge of RPD use and the quality of life of older adults, with a moderate strength of association. Older adults with lower levels of knowledge regarding RPD use tended to have poorer quality of life. In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between knowledge of removable partial denture use and the quality of life of older adults in Lantek Timur Village, Galis District, Bangkalan Regency.

Abstract

ABSTRACTChanges in serum levels of glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) may indicate liver problems resulting from prolonged exposure to pesticides. The village of Sendangrejo in Sleman Regency is an agricultural area where pesticide spraying takes place, which may increase the risk of exposure for farmers. However, information regarding the association between pesticide exposure levels and serum SGOT and SGPT levels among farmers in this area remains limited. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between pesticide exposure levels and serum SGOT and SGPT levels among farmers in Sendangrejo Village, Sleman Regency. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 30 farmers were selected as participants using purposive sampling. Pesticide exposure levels were measured using a questionnaire covering work duration, spraying frequency, and compliance with guidelines for the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Serum SGOT and SGPT levels were measured using a clinical chemistry analyzer (Thermo Scientific Indiko) via the enzymatic-kinetic method, and data analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that there was no significant association between duration of work, spraying frequency, or compliance with PPE usage guidelines and serum SGOT and SGPT levels (p > 0.05).Keywords: Liver Function; Pesticide Exposure; Farmers;  SGOT; SGPTABSTRAKPerubahan pada kadar serum glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) dan glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) dapat menjadi tanda adanya masalah pada hati akibat paparan pestisida dalam waktu yang lama. Desa Sendangrejo di Kabupaten Sleman adalah daerah pertanian yang melakukan penyemprotan pestisida, yang dapat meningkatkan risiko paparan bagi para petani. Meskipun demikian, informasi mengenai keterkaitan antara tingkat paparan pestisida dengan kadar serum SGOT dan SGPT di kalangan petani di daerah ini masih minim. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki hubungan antara tingkat paparan pestisida dan kadar serum SGOT serta SGPT pada petani yang berada di Desa Sendangrejo, Kabupaten Sleman. Penelitian ini bertipe observasional analitik dengan desain cross-sectional. Sebanyak 30 petani dipilih sebagai partisipan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Tingkat paparan pestisida diukur melalui kuesioner yang mencakup lama bekerja, frekuensi penyemprotan, dan kepatuhan terhadap pedoman penggunaan alat pelindung diri (APD). Kadar serum SGOT dan SGPT diukur menggunakan alat clinical chemistry analyzer (Thermo Scientific Indiko) dengan metode enzimatik-kinetik, dan analisis data dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Spearman Rank.

Abstract

Pressure injuries are a common complication among mechanically ventilated ICU patients because prolonged immobilization and impaired tissue perfusion make the skin highly susceptible to damage. Conventional repositioning may destabilize critically ill patients, creating interest in gentler alternatives such as micromovement. The objective of this case report was to describe the application of micromovement repositioning in a mechanically ventilated ICU patient and to observe its effects on skin integrity, Braden Scale scores, and hemodynamic stability. A 67‑year‑old male with pneumonia, NSTEMI, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus underwent hourly 15° lateral tilting for three days, accompanied by daily assessments of sacral skin condition, PI risk, and hemodynamic parameters. The sacral lesion remained stable without enlargement or tissue loss, skin moisture was preserved, and the Braden Scale score improved from 10 to 12. Hemodynamic parameters stayed within normal limits throughout the intervention, indicating good tolerance. In conclusion, micromovement helped maintain skin integrity and did not cause physiological instability, suggesting its potential as a safe complementary strategy for pressure injury prevention in critically ill patients.Keywords: micromovement; pressure injury; intensive care unit; mechanical ventilation; Braden Scale; skin integrity

Abstract

Tuberkulosis (TB) paru masih menjadi masalah kesehatan global dan menimbulkan perubahan profil hematologi dan imunologi pada pasien. Perubahan eritrosit, leukosit, trombosit, makrofag, serta peningkatan sitokin proinflamasi seperti Interleukin-6 (IL-6) dapat menjadi penanda infeksi TB. Tes Cepat Molekuler (TCM) merupakan standar diagnosis TB, namun aksesnya masih terbatas di sebagian fasilitas layanan kesehatan. Sistematik review literatur ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi perubahan profil hematologi dan imunologi pada pasien terdeteksi TB dari hasil pemeriksaan TCM. Sistematik review literatur dilakukan mengikuti pedoman Preferred for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA). Pencarian literatur dilakukan pada PubMed, ScienceDirect, dan Google Scholar untuk publikasi tahun 2020–2025, menggunakan kata kunci “Hematological Parameters in Tuberculosis”, “IL-6 in Tuberculosis”, “Hematological Parameters in Pulmonary TB”, dan “IL-6 Tuberculosis Hematology GeneXpert”. Studi yang diinklusi adalah artikel penelitian klinis berbahasa Inggris atau Indonesia, mengukur parameter hematologi dan/atau IL-6 pada pasien TB paru, tersedia dalam bentuk full-text, dan memiliki Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Penyaringan judul, abstrak, dan full-text dilakukan secara berlapis hingga mendapatkan 15 artikel untuk dianalisis melalui sintesis naratif. Sebagian besar studi melaporkan pola konsisten bahwa TB paru menyebabkan anemia, leukositosis dengan neutrofilia dan limfopenia, trombositosis, serta peningkatan Laju Endap Darah (LED) sebagai tanda inflamasi sistemik. Hampir semua studi melaporkan peningkatan signifikan IL-6 pada TB aktif, yang berperan dalam demam, inflamasi jaringan, peningkatan hepcidin, dan perubahan hematologi. Temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa makrofag sebagai sel target utama infeksi TB memproduksi IL-6 dalam jumlah tinggi, sehingga memicu respons inflamasi yang tercermin pada parameter hematologi. Sebagai kesimpulan, parameter hematologi dan kadar IL-6 menunjukkan perubahan konsisten pada TB paru dan memiliki potensi sebagai biomarker pendukung diagnosis, terutama di fasilitas kesehatan yang terbatas alat diagnosis cepat. Integrasi pemeriksaan hematologi dan IL-6 dengan TCM dapat memberikan gambaran lebih komprehensif mengenai inflamasi dan progresivitas penyakit pada pasien terduga TB paru.

Abstract

Background: Basketball involves complex and intense movements such as jumping, pivoting, and cutting. These activities impose significant mechanical loads on the knee joint, increasing the risk of meniscus tears. Meniscus repair is highly recommended to prevent early osteoarthritis, but the postoperative period often leads to clinical impairments that require structured physiotherapy. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of comprehensive physiotherapy management in a basketball player after right meniscus repair surgery on knee function recovery. Method: This study utilized a descriptive qualitative method with a case report design and a single-subject pre-test and post-test approach. The subject was a 14-year-old male basketball player diagnosed with sub-acute postoperative right meniscus repair (9th week). The 4-week intervention program included Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), strengthening exercises, balance training, and core stability exercises. Clinical parameters were measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), goniometer, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), anthropometry (midline), and the Barthel Index. Results: After 4 weeks of therapy, the results showed a reduction in motion pain intensity (from score 3 to 2) and tenderness (from score 4 to 2), an increase in the right knee flexion range of motion (ROM) from 110° to 120°, and a decrease in thigh (quadriceps) muscle atrophy. Muscle strength remained stable at an MMT score of 4, and the patient's daily functional activity level remained optimally independent (Barthel Index score of 100). Conclusion: A structured exercise-based rehabilitation program combined with NMES is effective in reducing pain, increasing ROM, improving muscle atrophy, and maintaining the patient's initial functional ability toward a safe return to sport.

Abstract

Dental and oral hygiene in hearing-impaired children requires special attention because limitations in communication and independence may hinder optimal oral hygiene practices. Parents’ attitudes are one factor that may support children’s dental and oral hygiene. This study aimed to determine the relationship between parents’ attitudes in maintaining dental and oral hygiene and the debris index of hearing-impaired children at SDLB-B Karya Mulia Surabaya. This observational analytical study used a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample comprised 33 parents of hearing-impaired students selected using total sampling. Parents’ attitudes were assessed using a Likert-scale questionnaire, while the debris index was assessed through direct oral examination. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Most parents had a moderate attitude, while most children had a moderate debris index. The Chi-Square analysis showed a significant relationship between parents’ attitudes and the debris index of hearing-impaired children (p=0.002). In conclusion, parents’ attitudes in maintaining children’s dental and oral hygiene are related to the oral cleanliness condition of hearing-impaired children. Strengthening parental education and assistance in daily toothbrushing is neededKeywords: parental attitudes; dental and oral hygiene; debris index; hearing-impaired children

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability associated with joint degeneration and altered gait biomechanics, particularly increased medial knee loading and gait deviation. Knee braces are commonly used as a conservative intervention, although their effectiveness in modifying gait remains uncertain. This literature review analyzed studies from PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO published within the last 10 years. Of 212 identified records, three studies met the inclusion criteria. Outcomes included pain (VAS), functional status (WOMAC), and biomechanical parameters such as external knee adduction moment (EKAM). The findings indicate that knee braces provide consistent symptomatic benefits, including pain reduction, improved stability, and enhanced functional performance, which may indirectly improve gait. Valgus knee braces demonstrated modest but significant reductions in medial knee loading, as reflected by decreased EKAM. However, their biomechanical effectiveness was inferior to laterally wedged insoles in one study, and not all studies directly assessed objective gait parameters. Additionally, outcomes varied depending on brace type, duration of use, and patient-specific factors. Evidence remains largely limited to short-term effects, with insufficient data on long-term biomechanical outcomes. Overall, knee braces offer clinically meaningful but variable benefits in knee OA, with limited evidence supporting their direct impact on gait deviation. Their use should be considered adjunctive, and further high-quality studies are needed to clarify long-term effectiveness.Keywords: Knee Brace, Knee Osteoarthritis, Gait deviation.
