Abstract

Vaccine hesitancy is one of the world's health problems that poses a threat to global health. This condition is influenced by various things, one of which is a mental condition. Willingness to receive vaccines, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic is very important. This study is a cross-sectional study involving 73 patients with anxiety disorders and 63 healthy adults. About 80% of the subjects were willing to be vaccinated. Based on the level of confidence in the vaccine, 90% of the subjects (66.20%) believed in the usefulness of the vaccine. A total of 39 people (28.7%) lacked confidence in vaccines. There were 28 subjects who refused vaccination, of which 26 were anxiety sufferers. The most common reasons for reluctance to vaccinate are fear of side effects (29.4%) and fear of injections (13.2%). In this study, 80% of the subjects had been vaccinated, according to the government's vaccination target. However, to maintain the success of long-term vaccination programs in populations with certain diseases, a more specific approach is needed.

Abstract

Abstract: Giving blood or blood components from a healthy person (donor) to another person is known as blood transfusion. A blood transfusion is intended to save a person's life. The number of blood donors has increased in the last decade, but it is still insufficient to meet the demand for blood. According to WHO guidelines, at least 2% of the total population requires blood, but the use of blood in hospitals is currently very limited. Adults receive blood transfusions more frequently than children and neonates. In adults, it is most commonly used in internal medicine, and in children, it is most commonly used in cases of thalassemia. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of patients receiving transfusions in the pediatric ward at Cut Meutia General Hospital in North Aceh in 2019-2020. The descriptive method was used in the research. Total sampling was used in this study, thedata taken from the patient's medical records at the North Aceh Hospital in 2019-2020 obtaining 89 samples. The study's results for transfusion recipients were frequently found in male sex (55.1%), at 5 years - 11 years (38.2%), blood type O (51.7%) frequentlywith rhesus positive (98.9%). Thalassemia patients received the majority of blood transfusions (50.0%), and blood components were almost always PRC (98.9%). The conclusions in this study were male blood transfusion recipients, aged 5-11 years, blood type O rhesus positive, diagnosis of thalassemia and blood components used by PRC.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is the obligation of a mother to give milk to her baby after childbirth (post-partum). To provide the right quantity and quality of breast milk that requires a formal agreement, such as maintaining and caring for breasts. Breast care should start from the time of pregnancy during childbirth (puerperium). Several factors that need to consider in breast care are providing breast massage, maintaining breast hygiene, using a bra as a breast protector, and consuming nutrition. This study is a quasi-experimental study that aims to determine whether breast care can increase milk production in post-partum mothers. The results showed that offering massage to the breasts, maintaining breast hygiene, and consuming nutrition affected the production of breast milk in post-partum mothers. The use of a bra in post-partum mothers does not have a significant effect on increasing milk production in post-partum mothers.

Abstract

Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT), and excess body mass index (BMI) act as cardiometabolic risk factors. BMI only describes the ratio of body weight to height in general. Abdominal CT scan is the gold standard in the examination of VAT and SAT volumes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between BMI with VAT and SAT in patients that performed CT scans of the abdomen. A total of 60 patients who underwent CT scans of the abdominal region at the Radiology Department of the RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan from July to August 2022 participated in this cross-sectional study. The BMI was calculated from measurement and volume of VAT and SAT were obtained from CT scans of the abdominal region at the fourth lumbal level, using 3D smart segmentation. Among of samples was 51.7% male. Average of age and BMI are 49.3 12.18 years and 25.58 kg/m2. Average of VAT and SAT volume value are 678.13 436.09 cm3 and 1708.76 1068.99 cm3. There is a moderate positive correlation between BMI and VAT (r=0.687) and BMI and SAT (r=0.669) with p0.001.

Abstract

Abstract: Several factors can influence the severity of COVID-19, including nutritional status and malnutrition conditions. This study compares malnutrition screening methods with body mass index to find better predictors of COVID-19 severity. This study is a cross-sectional analysis of medical records from all adult COVID-19 patients (total sampling) treated at Amri Tambunan Deli Serdang Hospital. The World Health Organization criteria were used to determine the severity of COVID-19. A Global Subjective Assessment (SGA) questionnaire was used to screen for malnutrition, while anthropometric measurements (Kg/m2) were used to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI). The Chi-Square Test was used for statistical analysis. This study included 508 COVID-19 hospitalisation patients, the majority of whom were women (55.5%), aged 18-29 years (25%) and had moderate severity (89.6%). The seriousness of COVID-19 was associated with malnutrition conditions as measured by the SGA questionnaire (p0.001), with patients with moderate to severe malnutrition being 3.4 times more likely to develop robust and critical COVID-19 (95% CI 1.6 - 7.0). There is no significant relationship between Body Mass Index and the severity of COVID-19 (p0.05). Malnutrition screening with SGA is more accurate than BMI in predicting the severity of COVID-19. Keywords:   IMT, a predictor of COVID-19 severity degree, malnutrition screening

Abstract

Tuberculosis lymphadenitis (TBLN) is the most common extra pulmonary TB (EPTB) case in the world with a range of 30-40% of all EPTB cases. When the body's immune system cannot kill the pathogen, the body will try to contain the pathogen (granuloma). The outer portion of the granuloma becomes calcified and the cells in the center undergo necrosis. The formation of central necrosis is associated with the emergence of cellular hypersensitivity with the features of local accumulation of macrophages and lymphocytes. The current study aimed to determine the relationship between the microscopic features of central caseous necrosis with lymphocyte density in patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis. Thirty histopathological slides of TBLN patients were observed under a microscope to see the features of central caseous necrosis and assess the lymphocyte density with the results assessed based on the cutoff point of the median of all lymphocyte mean values. Based on the microscopic examination, 25 samples of central caseous necrosis were found and the other 5 samples were not found to have caseous necrosis. Twenty-six patients had low lymphocyte density, and 4 patients had high lymphocyte density. The results of the Fisher Exact test obtained p = 0.009. There is a significant relationship between the features of central caseous necrosis and lymphocyte density in patients with TBLN.
