Abstract

Background: The incremental placement technique for composite resin may lead to bond failures and air entrapment between resin layers. Bulk-fill composite resin, which can be applied to cavities depths of up to 4 - 5 mm, is expected to have good compressive strength so that it can resemble natural tooth structures. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preheating on the compression strength of bulk-fill composite resins at 39oC and 60oC. Method: This research type was a laboratory experiment employing a post-test control group design. A total of 27 cylindrical bulk-fill composite resin specimens were divided into three groups: group 1 was preheated at 39oC, group 2 at 60oC, and group 3 served as the control group. The samples were then immersed in distilled water and stored in an incubator at 37oC for 48 hours. Compressive strength test was measured using a Universal Testing Machine. Result: One-way ANOVA statistical test showed that there were significant differences in the three groups (p-value < 0.05). A post-hoc Bonferroni test was carried out to compare between groups and indicated a significant difference between the 600C preheated group and the control group. Conclusion: Preheating at 39oC and 60oC affects the compression strength of bulk-fill composite resin.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of dental caries in children in Banyumas Regency is increasing. Karanglewas Public Health Centre is the only Health Center in Banyumas Regency that regularly performs periodic examinations in nearby primary schools. However, some schools still report a high prevalence of dental caries, reaching approximately 91.3% at SDN 1 and 2 Tamansari. Improving knowledge through oral health counseling is essential, banners and leaflets provide engaging educational overviews, which are suitable for children aged 7 to 8 years old. Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of banner-based and leaflet-based counseling in improving oral health knowledge among second-grade students at SDN 1 and 2 Tamansari. Method: This cross-sectional study used a pre-experimental, pre-post test design. This research used total sampling. 71 students participated classified into 32 in the banner counseling group and 39 in the leaflet counseling group. The Wilcoxon test analyzed knowledge score changes in the leaflet group and the Paired-T test in the banner group. An Independent-T test compared both media. Result: Knowledge improved significantly from pre-to post-counseling in both groups (p-value < 0.05). The increase in knowledge scores also differed significantly between the two media (p-value < 0.05), with the leaflet group showing a greater increase (37.54 ± 17.35) than the banner group (12.13 ± 6.22). Conclusion: Both media improved students’ oral health knowledge, but leaflets were more effective than banners.

Abstract

Background: One essential component of contemporary society is the use of electricity in a variety of industrial sectors. However, its vital role brings inherent risks that demand strict adherence to safety precautions. Purpose: This literature review investigates and evaluates control measures implemented in the electrical industry to reduce risks and lower the incidence of electrical fatalities. The analysis focuses on the effectiveness of these control strategies and their alignment with the hierarchy of control framework. Review: This literature review employs a descriptive quantitative analysis. This study analyzes data from 2011 to 2021. During this period, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported 1.653 work-related electrical fatalities, while the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reported 1.201. Result: 118 vocations were linked to electrical fatalities during this time. Of these, 31% of deaths occurred in electrical-related jobs, while 69% happened in non-electrical jobs. This finding highlights the urgent need for comprehensive safety measures and effective control strategies to mitigate electrical hazards. Conclusion: This literature review highlights the importance of applying the Hierarchy of Controls (HOC) in managing electrical risks in the workplace. It calls for proactive interventions and a cultural shift toward prioritizing safety, integrating human awareness with strict regulations to reduce electricity-related fatalities.

Abstract

Background: Natural disasters frequently occur in Indonesia, creating a need for effective victim identification. Gender identification is a crucial initial step, as it can narrow the search space by 50% during individual identification. The corpus and ramus mandible are an organ that plays an important role in gender prediction with a high predictive accuracy. However, the Down syndrome mandibular size is different from that of normal people. Purpose: To analyze the difference in corpus length and total height of the mandibular ramus between individuals with down syndrome and those without, as a step to gender determination. Method: This observational cross-sectional study involved 12 individuals with down syndrome and 12 individuals without, aged 10 – 17 years. The mandibular corpus length was measured through panoramic radiography from the gonion to the menton point. The mandibular ramus was measured from the apex of the condyle to the gonion point using the Clinicview application. Data were analyzed using the T-test with SPSS Ver. 26 software. Result: The length of the mandibular corpus differs significantly (p-value = 0.000) between Down syndrome with normal people. The length of the mandibular corpus in down syndrome does not differ significantly (p-value > 0.000) between males and females. The total height of the mandibular ramus does not differ significantly between down syndrome and non-down syndrome groups, both in males and females. Conclusion: The corpus length and the mandibular ramus's total height cannot be used as indicators of gender determination in down syndrome.

Abstract

Background: Noise is a common occupational physical hazard that, when esposure exceeds threshold limits, can elevate blood pressure. Work-related hypertension may affect workers’ productivity. Purpose: To conduct meta-analysis of the association between occupational noise exposure and the risk of high blood pressure. Review: The authors performed meta-analysis of 10 articles published between 2018-2023 from different sources, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The terms "noise exposure" or "occupational noise" and "hypertension" and "multivariate analysis" were used to search for papers, which were then chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3 was used to analyze this study. Result: According to the findings of a meta-analysis of 10 publications, being exposed to noise at work raised one's risk of developing hypertension by a factor of 1.83 in comparison to not being exposed to it (aOR = 1.83; 95% CI = 1.49-2.24; p-value = 0.001). Conclusion: Working in a noisy environment increases the risk of high blood pressure.

Abstract

Background: Across several continents, school-aged children, especially females, are frequently afflicted with pediculosis, an infectious disease caused by the parasite Pediculus sp., which feeds on human blood. Purpose: To identify the species and frequency of Pediculus sp. among pupils at boarding schools in Palangka Raya City. Method: This study used a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional design using a questionnaire as the main research instrument. Using a fine-toothed comb and ocular inspection, samples of Pediculus sp. were gathered. Five boarding schools in Palangka Raya City's Pahandut, Jekan Raya, and Sebangau subdistricts participated in the study. Data on pediculosis were described descriptively, and SPSS-16 was used to analyze the questionnaire responses. Result: Of the 121 students who participated in the survey, 39.6% had pediculosis and 60.4% did not. Compared to just 0.8% of male students, 38.8% of female students had the infection. Conclusion: Pediculus humanus capitis was the species of head lice found at Palangka Raya City's boarding schools. It was discovered that female pupils were more susceptible to pediculosis than male students. The Pediculus humanus capitis species' eggs, nymphs, and adult lice were found during inspection and identification. Notably, the sick students had stable socioeconomic circumstances, regularly bought toiletries, washed their hair properly, had decent personal hygiene, and showed sufficient understanding of pediculosis.

Abstract

Background: Working in hot climates can also lead to health problems such as dehydration. Dehydration is the excessive loss of fluid from body tissues. Dehydration can be caused by fluid loss and bleeding. Dehydration can also occur due to increased fluid requirements, such as fever, high environmental temperatures, and extreme activity. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between individual characteristics and work climate with hydration status in workers in the production department of PT X. Method: This study used a cross-sectional design, with analytical observation methods, and a sample size of 57 workers in the production department. The relationship between the research variables was examined using the contingency coefficient statistical test. Result: The results of the study showed that there was a significant correlation between hydration status and age (p value = 0.003), Body Mass Index (BMI) (p value = 0.038), drinking water intake (p value = 0.000), and work climate conditions (p value = 0.020). Conclusion: This study indicates that some production workers are not well hydrated. This is based on the analysis of four variables: age, body mass index, water consumption, and work environment. These variables were found to have a significant correlation with workers' hydration status, with the strength of the relationship ranging from moderate to strong.

Abstract

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease commonly characterized by symptoms such as frequent headaches, joint pain, and occasional body swelling. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, has been identified as a possible alternative for managing symptoms in SLE patients, especially for those seeking relief from the side effects of conventional treatments. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture, a minimally invasive therapy, in addressing chronic and complex complaints in a SLE patient. Case analysis: A case study was conducted on a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with SLE presenting complaints of frequent headaches, joint pain, and occasional body swelling. Data were collected through observation, hearing (auscultation)/smelling (olfaction) assessment, interview, and palpation. The patient underwent 12 acupuncture sessions with assessments conducted before and after therapy, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) examination, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray, and laboratory tests. Result: Following acupuncture therapy, the patient’s headaches were resolved, joint pain diminished, and swelling subsided. Conclusion: Acupuncture can be an effective supportive therapy and a safe option for reducing various symptoms in SLE patients.
