Abstract

Sarcopenia is a condition which characterized by loss of muscle mass, muscle strength and muscle function due to aging. Some study found that sarcopenia prevalence was more common in men than women. This study aims to determine the comparison of sarcopenia diagnostic component between two group ages in men by observing and comparing muscle mass, handgrip strength and usual gait speed according to Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia (AWGS) diagnostic criteria that analyzed by Independent Sample T Test. The sample size with consecutive sampling technique was 149 mens which divided into two groups based on ages of elderly over 60 years (n = 73) and young adult between 18-40 years (n = 76). From the independent sample t test results, there was significant difference of muscle mass mean, handgrip strength mean and gait speed mean between elderly group and young adult group by 2.467 (SD ± 0.1454) kg/m2 (t(98.350) = -16.969; p = 0.000), 10.455 (SD ± 1.0983) kg (t(147) = -9.519; p = 0.000) and 0.4753 (SD ± 0.2808) m/s (t(11.636) = -16.747; p = 0.000) which means along with increasing age, sarcopenia diagnostic components value, i.e. muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance will also decrease.

Abstract

The tongue is a solid organ formed by skeletal muscles that has an important function as the sense of taste, mastication, swallowing, and speaking. There are several physiological conditions on the tongue which can be pathological conditions e.g. Geographic tongue and Fissured tongue. This situation may occur due to trigger factors e.g. allergic reactions. Allergies of certain fruits e.g. mangoes are very rare. However, in some patients those cases may cause immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reactions. A 40-year-old male patient complained that his tongue felt sore after eating a lot of mango salad, after clinical examination the results showed clinical appearance were: 1) island-shaped atrophy, surrounded by white edges, pain; 2) fissure, multiple, redness, pain; 3) yellowish white plaque, can be scraped, no clear boundary, no pain in the dorsum of the tongue. In addition to the extraoral examination there were abnormalities in the upper and lower lips of the patient in the form of fissure, vertical, multiple, accompanied by desquamation. The final diagnosis the patient was geographic tongue with fissured tongue, oral candidiasis in the dorsum of the tongue, and cheilitis on the upper and lower lips. Therapy provided to patient was topical benzidamine HCl oral oral anti-inflammatory medicine, oral suspension topical nystatin antifungal, OM ointment, Becomzet multivitamin (Vitamin B complex, A, C, E, and Zinc) as multivitamin and tongue cleaner. Two weeks after treatment with benzydamine HCL which acts to inhibit TNFα and prostaglandin, administration of ointments that are analgesic and help the healing process (for geographic tongue and fissure tongue), and administration of nystatin for oral candidiasis, nystatin a macrolide polyene whose toxicity low and specific for candida albicans, accompanied by multivitamins that help the healing process, tongue geography, tongue fissure and oral candidiasis heal.

Abstract

Morbidity of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is the interaction between viruses, vulnerable hosts and mosquitoes in risky environments, what about rational management in the tropics? DHF agents are dengue virus, family Flaviridae, genus Flavivirus, serotypes Den-1, Den-2, Den3 and Den-4. Virulence of four virus serotypes has been found in fatal cases. The extrinsic incubation period of 8-10 days, intrinsic in humans 4-6 days, is transmitted from male mosquitoes to female mosquitoes through marriage, transovarial transmission from parent mosquitoes to their offspring. Highest transmission through mosquito bites Ae. Aegypti. Hosts 95% aged 15-44 years. Host immunity is influenced by age, nutritional status, density, population mobility, housing quality, distance between houses, education, work, life attitudes, age group, ethnicity, and vulnerability. Aedes mosquitoes originating from Brazil and Ethiopia, have two subspecies; Ae aegypti queenslandensis and Ae. aegypti formosus, including Stegomya subgenus, Aedes aegypti and Ae mosquitoes. albopictus as the main vector and Ae. polynesiensis, Ae.scutellaris and Ae (Finlaya) niveus as secondary vectors. Transmission factors are rapid urban population growth, population mobilization, poverty, garbage disposal, drying and closing, and recycling, the habit of hanging clothes. In the tropics, incidence is correlated with rainfall and humidity. Tropical and subtropical characteristics allow DHF to be endemic.Keywords: management; dengue hemorrhagic fever; tropical

Abstract

Emergency nurses are in the frontline in managing COVID-19 crises. Directly encountering and dealing with infected patients put nurses at high risk. To date, evidence about emergency nurses’ experiences of COVID-19, particularly those in the frontline, are limited. Understanding the experience and impact of the COVID-19 crisis on emergency nurses could contribute to improving nursing and disaster practices. This study aimed to explore the experiences of emergency nurses during their responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Thus, A cross-sectional design was used. For the data collection, a questionnaire was constructed and its validity and reliability was rigorously evaluated by principle component analysis (PCA), exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The data were collected in two phases, in which 111 and 128 emergency nurses were recruited from different hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The primary purpose of PCA; EFA and CFA to delete weak loading and extract and confirm factors. The findings of using factor analysis, of the 22 items, 11 items were retained with strong factor loadings (0.88 to 0.54) to three factors. The three factors were worry (4 items), compliance (4 items), and cautiousness (3 items). The reliability of the three factors was 0.84, 0.86, and 0.73, respectively, indicating that the scale had good reliability. The 11 scale items had robust psychometric properties, which implies that they could be used to evaluate emergency nurses’ experience in encountering and dealing with the COVID-19 crisis. Although nurses in the frontline showed compliance with infection control prevention measures, they were likely to experience certain degrees of fear and worry, which could lead to burnout. Hence, it is highly recommended to help nurses overcome such crises by providing consistent support and reassurance. Keywords: mmergency nursing; COVID-19; crisis; nursing care and experiences

Abstract

Complementary foods are foods/drinks that were given to complement breastfeeding in order to fulfil the nutritional of baby from 6-24 months old. However, have been given to several babies under six months which may increase the mortality risk. Early introduction of complementary foods to the baby are influenced by factors education, occupation, income, tradition, myths, familial support, and knowledge. This study aims to analyze the factors that resulted in the early introduction to complementary foods in the working area of Kambaniru Public Health Center. This was an observational analytic study with cross sectional design. The samples were 89 mothers. Partial correlation between the risk factor was analyzed using the simple logistic regression test, while the modelling for the risk factors was analyzed using the multiple logistic regression test. The result showed that there were 51.7% of the mothers that gave an early complementary foods to the babies, there was a correlation between knowledge (p=0.000), income (p=0.026), myths (p=0.016) and familial support (p=0.000), while education (p=0.089), occupation (p=0.0307) and tradition (p=0.374) did not correlate. The conclusion of this study was that familial support and knowledge factors were the models to predict the early introduction to complementary food with 44.2% contributing factors.
