Abstract

Introduction: The prescribing of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as pharmacological therapy for OA was found to be imprecise. In 2018, the rationality of NSAIDs prescribed at Wolter Monginsidi Hospital, Manado showed as much as 100% proper indication, 77% proper dose, and 89% proper medication. This shows that the rationality of NSAIDs prescription is still irrational. Irrational prescribing has the potential to result in side effects or the incidence of drug-related problemsAim: To determine the characteristics and the rationality of NSAIDs prescriptions in elderly knee OA.Methods: This is a descriptive study of 108 medical records for the period January 2020-April 2021 at BS Clinic, Semarang, using purposive sampling method.Result: Results showed the characteristics of elderly knee OA patients at BS Clinic were 74.1% women, 47.2% belonging to obese group, and 41.7% experiencing severe pain. Patient’s age had a median value of 66 years. In the number of comorbidity, the median value was 1. The rationality of NSAIDs prescription was 95,4% proper diagnosis, 100% proper drug, 97.2% proper dose, and 99.1% proper indication with the incidence of side effects of NSAIDs prescribing was 1.9%.

Abstract

Background: Inguinal hernias are one of the most often cases in surgery. Inguinal hernias are usually found in males rather than females. There are two types of meshes in inguinal hernia repairs: heavyweight and lightweight mesh. There were still a lot of differences in the outcome of each mesh that was used. Therefore, with various different post operative pain results from past research, the author expresses an interest to conduct a research on this topic towards geriatric patients.Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, 45 patients using heavyweight mesh and 45 patients using lightweight mesh herniorrhaphy with Lichtenstein technique in inguinal hernias at RS Siloam Karawaci Lippo Village and RSU were reviewed retrospectively. Patient's data were taken from medical record using purposive-sampling method. Early Postoperative pain on day 1 until 7 were classified following the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Incidence of postoperative infection and seroma were assessed in both groups. Collected samples will be processed using Pearson's Chi-Squared test.Result: This study shows that there is a significant difference between the use of lightweight mesh in reducing moderate early postoperative pain for men above the age of 60 years old (p = 0.025) rather than the use of heavyweight mesh. Incidence of other postoperative complications such as infection and seroma have no statistically difference between both groups.Conclusions: The use of lightweight mesh has the advantage in reducing early postoperative pain from herniorrhaphy using Lichtenstein technique rather than heavyweight mesh in men above 60 years old.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 drastically modulate the healthcare world. The pandemic's immense transmission and lethality rate enforce the Indonesian Medical Doctor Proficiency & Competency Test to discard practical measures and rely only on a written exam. These with pandemic social and physical restrictions impede prospective doctors’ learning opportunities leading to easier failure. Henceforth, the present study has high urgency to identify and manage failure factors, especially in the pandemic.Methods: The cross-sectional study examines 75 clinical medical students through purposive analysis with an online questionnaire in August 2021. Data are analyzed with Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and binary logistics.Result: Respondents have an average age of 24.15 (1.322) years old, majorly female (82.7%), and pass as first takers (86.7%) with 1.27 (0.949) off-campus tutelage. The significant factors for the test failure are depression and economic status. The study developed a failure prediction model with the area under the curve 0.845, cut-off 366.5, 80.0% sensitivity, and 84.6% specificity.Conclusion: Intrinsic, extrinsic, and academic factors have significant roles in the failure outcome. For this reason, preparation is crucial not only among individuals but also institutions. The study also provides feedback about the importance of mental health and economic status for Indonesian medical students

Abstract

Background and Aim: Insomnia and anxiety are common disorders with high prevalence rate especially in medical students. Moreover, many confounding factors playing a role in influencing anxiety. Most studies does not include or measure other confounding factors of anxiety into the analysis. This requires research which examines insomnia and anxiety assessing the contribution of the factors influencing anxiety.Methods: A cross-sectional study methodology with linear regression analysis on a sample of students from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Pelita Harapan using the DASS-21 questionnaire to assess anxiety and ISI to assess insomnia.Results: Prevalence rates of insomnia was 34.29% and anxiety 32.38% in Pelita Harapan University medical student. From the results of the bivariate linear regression, a weak relationship between insomnia and anxiety (r = 0.322; p = 0.000) is seen. In multivariate results, there were confounding stress variables (r = 0.565; p= 0.000) and trauma (r = 0.250; p = 0.005) which contributed greatly to anxiety (In order of largest).Conclusion: There is a weak correlation and anxiety. Moreover, high prevalence rate of anxiety in medical students may be contributed heavily not only by insomnia but also stress and childhood trauma.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Postpartum depression (PPD) has a negative impact on mothers and children, such as breastfeeding (BF) disturbance. However, the relationship between BF pattern and PPD is still unclear due to contrasting results, and no related study has been done in Indonesia. Therefore this study is conducted to evaluate the relationship between BF pattern and the risk of PPD of mothers in Tangerang.Method: This is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The samples of this study are 58 mothers that fulfill the inclusion criteria. Samples are chosen by purposive sampling method. Data collection is conducted from January to April 2020. The results were analyzed using SPSS program version 22.0 with Chi- Square method.Results: There were 37 samples (63.8%) without PPD risk and 21 samples (36.8%) with PPD risk. Among 37 samples without PPD risk, 70.3% had exclusive BF and 29,7% had non-exclusive BF. Among 21 samples with PPD risk, 14.3% had exclusive BF and 85,7% had non-exclusive BF. Chi-Square analysis result showed that there is a significant association between BF pattern and PPD risk (p=0.0001), with an OR of 0.071 (95% CI: 0.17-0.289).Conclusion: Breastfeeding pattern has a significant association with PPD risk. Exclusive BF has a protective effect on the risk of PPD at one month postpartum.

Abstract

Brown tumor is a non-neoplastic lesion that resulting from abnormal bone metabolism. It can be manifest in prolonged or untreated hyperparathyroidism. The clinical symptoms, radiological and histopathological examination were similar with giant cell tumor and can be mimicking metastases; or even misdiagnosed with giant cell tumor and mistreated the patient. Biochemical examination of calcium levels and parathyroid hormone should be included in the routine assessment of patients with multiple osteolytic lesions. A multidiscipline approach is needed.Throughout this case report, we would like to report the important role of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Theranostic imaging modality in 38-year-old male with multiple osteolytic lesions, which was first diagnosed as giant cell tumor and differential diagnosis bone metastases but turnout to be a metabolic bone disease (brown tumor) with parathyroid adenoma as etiology.
