Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problems caused by the low intake of nutrients in long term, resulting in unfulfilled demand for nutrients. Indonesia has the highest incidence of stunting compared to other Southeast Asian countries. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia tends to increase. Basic medical research showed prevalence of stunting were 35.6% in 2010 and 37.2% in 2013. This study aimed to analyze determining factors in the incidence of stunting in children aged 12 to 60 months. The method used in this study was analytic survey with sample size as many as 155 stunting children. Determining factors in the incidence of stunting in children aged 12 to 60 months were intake of energy and macro-nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins as well as fats. While the intake of micronutrients that contributed to the incidence of stunting were the intake of vitamin A and zinc. Beside the intakes, feeding practices such as consistency, frequency and habit of having breakfast were also determining factors in the incidence of stunting. Maternal knowledge concerning to nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding and complementary foods were not determining factor in the incidence of stunting but were the protective one.

Abstract

RAS (Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis) is an inflammation of soft tissues of the oral cavity characterized by recurrent and painful ulcers. These lesions can be marked early on with a burning sensation, and when the wound has formed, the pain is getting worse. Occasional symptoms of precursors, paresthesia and hyperesthesia, are sometimes reported. Pain and discomfort arise along movement around the ulcer e.g. eating, talking and swallowing. Characteristics of RAS are usually single or multiple ulcers occurring recursively on the oral mucosa, round or oval in shape, clearly demarcated, with a grayish-yellow necrotic center and reddish edges. Lesions occur at young ages i.e. children and puberty, and may occur in adults as well. Ulcers usually last in 1 week or month. This disorder is classified into three categories according to size i.e. recurrent aphthous stomatitis minor, major and herpetiformis. The aim of this report is to show the management of cases of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis Minor on the left side of tongue, left buccal mucosa, and lower labial mucosa in female patient aged 19 years. A 19-year-old female patient came to the Dental Hospital of Jember University with complaints of thrush on the left side of her tongue, left buccal mucosa and lower labial mucosa, pain, and feeling disturbed due to the pain when eating, talking, and laughing. In this case, the diagnosis showed Recurrent Aphthous Minor Stomatitis on the left side of the tongue, left buccal mucosa, and lower labial mucosa. The therapy was using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory mouthwash containing aloe Vera and hyaluronic acid as well as giving multivitamin of becomzet (vitamin B complex, A, C, E, and Zinc).

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is still a problem that must be resolved in Indonesia, especially North Sumatra. The study aims to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the speed of sputum conversion in pulmonary TB patients. Randomized controlled trial study was conducted on 41 pulmonary TB patients according to inclusion criteria. Research subjects were given TB drug (DOTS program) and vitamin D treatment for 2 months. Sputum examination based on smear was carried out microscopically at 2nd week, 4nd week, 6nd week, and 8nd week after treatment. The results showed that all pulmonary TB patients who were given the intervention experienced sputum conversion. Research subjects with AFB +1 occurred the fastest conversion compared to the others. Statistical analysis using chi square obtained significant results (p = 0.0001). Sputum conversion evaluation based on the initial AFB status, there was a significant relationship between the time of sputum conversion with the initial AFB status with a very strong correlation level (r = 0.767). Vitamin D has been shown to have a significant effect on the patient's sputum conversion. Keywords: pulmonary TB; vitamin D; sputum conversion

Abstract

Background: Febrile seizures are seizures that often occur in children, usually of a non-hazardous nature and do not have a prolonged effect. Febrile seizures most often occur in children under five years of age and are reported to occur in 2-5% of the pediatric population. Febrile seizures are categorized as simple, complex and plus febrile seizures. In some patients, EEG is needed to ascertain whether a true febrile seizure occurs. Objective: This study aims to determine the EEG pattern in recurrent febrile seizure patients at the Child Inpatient Installation of Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Method: This study used a retrospective descriptive method with medical record instruments. Results: This study showed that of 46 recurrent febrile seizures, only 21 patients could see the EEG results. Of the 18 patients with complicated febrile seizures there were 27.78% abnormal and 72.22% normal. One simple febrile seizure patient obtained a normal EEG result. Of the two patients with febrile seizures plus 50% abnormal results and 50% normal results. Conclusions: The EEG pattern in patients with recurring complex febrile seizure obtains the most abnormal result. Keywords: recurrent febrile seizure; electroencephalography; prevalence
