Abstract

Background The retained placenta is a common cause of postpartum bleeding. Many conditions commonly can be found in pregnant women cause retained placenta.Objective This study aims to identify factors associated with retained placenta.Method This study was performed as an observational analytic study with a case-control method. The data used is secondary data, using normal postpartum mothers (n=74) and postpartum women diagnosed with the retained placenta (n=37) medical records, at Bethesda Hospital from 2013 until 2018. Variables were analyzed using simple logistic regression to measure crude odds ratio and using multiple logistic regression to calculate adjusted odds ratio.Results The factor associated with retained placenta was preterm labor (OR 37.16; CI 95% 6.98-197.84). Age (OR 1.32; CI 95% 0.34-5.19), anemia in pregnancy (OR 2.43; CI 95% 0.83-7.14), history of previous cesarean section (OR 9.63; CI 95% 0.79-117.36), history of curettage (OR 3.65; CI 95% 0.93-14.37) and parity (OR 2.07; CI 95% 0.72-5.98) increasing risk to develop retained placenta, but not statistically significant.Conclusion A history of previous cesarean section and preterm labor statistically increases the risk of retained placenta in Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta. Age, anemia in pregnancy, and history of curettage were clinically associated with retained placenta, but not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) become the leading cause of death, particularly in low-income settings. However, the health post for NCDs called Pos Pembinaan Terpadu (Posbindu) aimed to be the screening post in the community loses its function due to residents’ low visitation.Objective This study aimed to investigate NCD’s prevalence in low-middle income communities and analyzed health-post attendance associated factors in two areas with different socioeconomic backgrounds.Methods A community survey was conducted on a slum and a middle-income hamlet in Pejagalan village. A total of 470 residents aged 15 and above responded to the demographic and NCDs risk factors questionnaire. Logistic regression was performed separately in the two areas.Results The prevalence of NCDs and its multimorbidity are presiding in the slum, while the health-post attendance in the area associated with women visitors (odds ratio [OR]=4.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.9-9.1), the 30-59 age group (OR=5.0; 95%CI=2-10), having no education (OR=4.7; 95%CI=1.9-5.5), unemployed (OR=2.5; 95%CI=1.3-5.7), and practicing a less-fat diet (OR=3.2; 95%CI=1.7-6.0). The elderly were less likely to visit the posts (OR=0.3; 95%CI=0.1-0.9). Meanwhile, increasing age (OR=1.03; 95%CI=1.01-1,05), residents who practice regular physical activity (OR= 2.3; 95% CI=1.3-4.1), and not smoking (OR=2.9; 95%CI=1.4-6.0) were associated with community health-post attendance in middle-income hamlet.Conclusion The results indicated that NCDs prevalence in the slum needs proper attention, particularly in elderly and male residents, due to low visits to the health post. Enhancing the specific target of NCDs screening respective to the areas would be the best effort to prevent further NCDs prevalence.

Abstract

Backgroud Breast cancer is the type of cancer that has the highest prevalence. Breast cancer growth is related to nutritional status. Nutritional status is assessed based on measurements of BMI Body Mass Index (BMI) and obesity is a factor that plays a role in the growth of cancer cells.Objective To investigate the effect of BMI on the five-year progression-free survival (PFS) of breast cancer patientsMethods A retrospective cohort study using observational methods on 82 female patients with breast cancer at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta.Results A total of 82 medical records of breast cancer patients were collected at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta. A total of 71 patients (86.6%) were still alive, while 11 have died. This study found an average progression-free survival of BMI category <25 kg/m2 78,5 months while the BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² 80,9 months (HR 2,057, 95% CI: .457–2.491). In addition, BMI and other prognostic variables did not have a significant relationship with progression-free survival in breast cancer patients (p = 0.114).Conclusion In this study, Body Mass Index was not associated with the 5-year progression-free survival of breast cancer patients.

Abstract

Background Sarcopenia is a decrease in muscle mass accompanied by a decrease in muscle strength and performance. Sarcopenia arises from a disturbance of the complex balance between anabolic and catabolic factors. Myostatin strongly influences the inhibition of muscle growth by increasing muscle catabolism. Increased myostatin will atrophy in skeletal muscle. In the aging process, there will be an increase in the hormone myostatin plays an active role in the process of sarcopenia. The cause of the increase in myostatin hormone is a chronic inflammatory process that occurs in the aging process.Methods The writing of this paper is a literature review of the role of myostatin in sarcopenia that occurs due to the aging process.Results The incidence of sarcopenia in the elderly was 45 people (64.3%). The results of the analysis were a significant difference between myostatin levels in sarcopenia (47.59 ng/mL) and non-sarcopenia (39.7 ng/mL) subjects. The limit of myostatin levels that can cause an increase in muscle catabolic processes is 48.91 ng/mL. The prevalence ratio of the incidence of sarcopenia based on myostatin levels in the elderly was 3.84, while based on the combined risk of age and myostatin levels was 9.75.Conclusion From the literature review, it was found that there was a significant difference in myostatin levels between the elderly with and without sarcopenia. The prevalence of high myostatin levels in the elderly is almost 4 times higher than in young adults. This will lead to the progression of sarcopenia.

Abstract

Background Low birth weight (LBW) is a serious child health problem that requires global attention, especially in developing countries or with low economic status. Indonesia itself is in the ninth position of the country with the highest prevalence of LBW in the world. Therefore, it is important to examine various factors that can increase the risk of LBW, and it is hoped that it can prevent the occurrence of LBW, considering the complications that LBW can experience in both the short and long term.Objectives This study aims to determine the relationship between various risk factors and LBW in South Tangerang City General Hospital for the period March-October 2021.Methods This study is an analytical observational study using the cross-sectional method. Sources of data were obtained from medical records and books on Maternal and Child Health (KIA) of respondents, with the criteria of respondents being mothers with a history of giving birth to low birth weight (<2500 g), having an active cell phone number and recorded in the NICU registration at South Tangerang City General Hospital, and still having Maternal and Child Health (KIA) book.Results There was a significant relationship between risk factors for gestational age (p=0.046) and frequency of ANC visits (p=0.035) with low birth weight, but there was no significant relationship between risk factors for maternal age (p=0.193), maternal education (p=0.087), maternal occupation (p = 0.618), and family income (p = 0.320) with low birth weight in South Tangerang City General Hospital for the period March-October 2021.Conclusion Gestational age and frequency of ANC visits are statistically significant risk factors for LBW incidence in South Tangerang City. Maternal age, maternal education, mother's occupation, and family income are not statistically associated with low birth weight in South Tangerang City General Hospital

Abstract

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many aspects of life worldwide, including medical education. Offline learning is being replaced by online to reduce the spread of disease through direct contact between the academic community. Along with technological developments, online learning is likely to continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic is over. Therefore, students must be able to adapt and prepare for the next online learning. The preparation can be started by self-assessing the online learning that has been followed so far and finding things that must be improved in future online learning.Objective To explore the student’s performance during online learning.Methods This research was qualitative research using the reflection writings of 156 students regarding their performance during online learning, which would be analyzed according to the depth and content of the reflection.Results Internal factors that support (strengths) and internal factors that inhibit online learning (weaknesses) through student reflection during online learning were found in this study. Internal factors such as maintaining health, self-management, adapting, and maintaining motivation can be maintained to support online learning. Internal factors such as anxiety, avoiding interaction, laziness, failure in time management, and inappropriate learning methods hindered online learning.Conclusion Students can strengthen internal factors that support online learning and reduce internal factors that hinder online learning to optimize online learning in the future.
