Abstract

Background COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The most recent study showed that there was a possible correlation between ABO blood types and COVID-19 risk. However, some studies disproved the correlation. The contradiction indicated that the correlation between the two variables has not been established. Objective To find the correlation between ABO blood types and the severity of COVID-19.  Methods It applied an observational-analytic method with a retrospective cohort approach. It used secondary data from 2020-2021 in Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta. Samples were taken using a consecutive sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26. Univariate analysis was made using descriptive statistics. Sequentially, bivariate and multivariate analyses were made using chi-square, odds-ratio, relative-risk, and ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results There were 212 data. Blood type O got the biggest percentage (38.2%) with a sample of 81 individuals. There were 88 patients with severe symptoms (41.5%), 86 patients with moderate symptoms (40.6%), and 38 patients with mild symptoms (17.9%). The Chi-square analysis of ABO blood types and the severity of COVID-19 was 0.05 (?0.05). The blood type B had a 2.8 times higher probability of severe incidence (95% CI 0.618–12.16) than the non-B blood type. Meanwhile, blood type O had a 0.33 times lower probability of severe incidence (95% CI 0.618–12.16) than non-O blood type. Conclusion The ABO blood types correlated with COVID-19 severity. Blood type O became a protective factor, and blood type B is the risk factor for severe COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: Down syndrome incidence increases year to year and ranks first in birth defect cases in Indonesia. Down syndrome birth may burden family physically, socially, economically, and emotionally. The most common risk factor associated to Down syndrome is maternal age. Objective: This research is conducted to understand the association between maternal age and parity as the risk factors of Down syndrome births. Methods: Analytical observation design with case-control approach is used in this study. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were calculated using Chi-Square and binary logistic regression test. Results: This research’s results showed significant association between maternal age as risk factor with the incidence of Down syndrome (p-value < 0.001) and no significant association between parity with the incidence of Down syndrome (p-value > 0.05) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Mothers aged ? 35 years have 18.82 greater risk to give birth Down syndrome baby compared to mothers aged < 35 years (OR=18.82). The mean of maternal age when birth Down Syndrome children was 35.1 years old. Biological ovarium aging hypothesis presumed cause higher probability of chromosomal segregation failure during oocyte meiosis. Advanced maternal age naturally causes biological ovarium aging. Biological ovarium aging may caused or influenced by hormonal imbalance, limited oocyte pool, oxidative stress, change of spontaneous abortus mechanism, and genetic abnormality or mutation. No significant association between parity with the incidence of Down Syndrome (p-value=0.0689). Conclusion: Mothers with age of 35 year or older are the only the risk factor for having child with Syndrome Down in this research, with 18.82 more greater risk than mothers under 35 years old. The mean of maternal age when birth Down Syndrome children was 35.1 years old.

Abstract

Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a pulmonary embolism (PE) complication that is a primary cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and may lead to right heart failure and significant mortality especially when left untreated. Although CTEPH is the only cause of PH that is curable without needing to resort to lung transplant, it is often misdiagnosed due to the absence of diagnostic instruments and the absence of specific presenting symptoms. This also complicates the process of distinguishing between acute thromboembolic disease and the acute embolic event worsening of undiscovered CTEPH. Objective A better understanding of CTEPH is crucial, therefore we discuss a diagnosis rare case of CTEPH. Case Description A 44-year-old man presenting with syncope and chest discomfort who had no previous episodes of acute PE. Conclusion Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) is a significant test for identifying CTPEH. Oral anticoagulants may provide patients with CTEPH a safe and beneficial life-long treatment.

Abstract

Background The use of gadgets, especially smartphones, is common among college students. The duration of smartphone usage in a day can be seen through the screen time records. High screen time records indicate high smartphone usage. Excessive use of smartphones has the potential to disrupt social interaction. Emotional Quotient (EQ) is very important in supporting social interaction. Emotional Quotient is a person's ability to express his feelings appropriately and effectively. Objectives This research was conducted to know the relationship between screen time duration and EQ in college students. Methods This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents in this study were students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were recruited using the consecutive sampling method. The duration of the screen time is obtained from the default smartphone application. Emotional Quotient was measured with the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) questionnaire. Results There were 90 respondents (male = 27 people; female = 63 people) with an average age of 19.4 + 0.69 years. Spearman's test showed a relationship between screen time duration and EQ (p<0.01; r=-0.97). Conclusions This study concludes that the duration of screen time is related to EQ, the higher the duration of screen time, the lower the EQ. Therefore, to prevent EQ deterioration, it is important to limit screen time.
