Abstract

Background: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are frequently used in patients for several indications such as cancer treatment, diagnostic monitoring, parenteral nutrition, hemodialysis, and administration of fluids, blood products or medication. Double lumen catheter induced CVCs thrombosis has not been paid into proper attention in developing countries such as Indonesia.Aims: The aim of this study is to identify the incidence and characteristic of double lumen catheter induced CVCs thrombosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: This systematic review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020181584). A systematic search of literature for observational and randomized controlled trial was conducted in PubMed, PubMed central, and Google Scholar through April 16, 2020. Two reviewers independently searched and selected. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality assessment tool. Results: A total of 408 patients were included in our study. There were 192 (47.1%) male patients. The double lumen catheter was mostly placed in the jugular vein (60%), followed by subclavian vein (25%) and femoral vein (15%). Four (1.1%) patients had deep vein thrombosis after about one month of double lumen catheter placement. All these four patients, the double lumen catheter was inserted in the femoral vein. Any other significant risk factors for thrombosis other than double lumen catheter insertion not found. Out of these four patients, one of them passed away. All patients were treated using heparin.Conclusion: The incidence of double lumen catheter induced thrombosis is low (1.1%) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, further larger study is needed to confirm and find the associating factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. Much false information was circulating especially through social media and affected individual’s knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) towards COVID-19. Currently, there is lack of validated questionnaires to assess KAP about COVID-19 especially in Indonesian young people.Aim: To develop and validate a new COVID-19 KAP questionnaire for young people population in Indonesian language.Methods: Some literature review was done to look for the concept to generate a new questionnaire.  Open-ended questions were generated to know the baseline knowledge. Then, close-ended questions were formulized for knowledge, attitude, and practice area. The experts and several respondents were asked to give their opinions about the contents of the questionnaire. The validity was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. For reliability, internal consistency was examined by using Pearson or Spearmen correlation test.Results: A total of 59 subjects with median ages 21 (16-24) years old of non-medical individuals were included in this validation process. More than half were male, mostly held bachelor’s degree/diploma, and were dominated with students. This Indonesian COVID-19 KAP questionnaire for young people consists of 10 knowledge, 8 attitude, and 7 practice questions. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of knowledge, attitude, and practice areas were 0.87, 0.82, and 0.91, respectively.Conclusions: A questionnaire of KAP towards COVID-19 in Indonesian language had been developed and the results showed good validity.

Abstract

Background : As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia implemented various policies to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19, starting from large-scale social restrictions, quarantines, and even lockdowns. Without exception, schools were also closed. These conditions affect people psychologically, including levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in students. The aim of this study is to determine profile and factors associated with depression, anxiety, and stress in Indonesian people during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods : A cross-sectional study among students in Indonesia was conducted to determine depression, anxiety, and stress levels in adolescents based on their sociodemographic characters. The DASS-21 questionnaire was distributed online.Results : A total of 913 people participated from all provinces in Indonesia. Depression, anxiety, and stress were found in 43.5%, 43.3%, 25.2%, respectively. The severity of depression was significantly associated with age (p<0.001), gender(p=0.003), and region(p=0.039). Adults (25-55) are 4.6 times odds more likely to have depression than adolescent during pandemic (OR=4.641, 95% CI=2.053-10.491). The severity of anxiety was significantly associated with age (p=0.002), gender(p<0.001), education (p=0.004) and region(p=0.004). The severity of stress was significantly associated with gender (p<0.001) and education (p=0.018).Conclusion : Depression, anxiety and stress quite common found in Indonesian during COVID-19 pandemic. Several sociodemographic factors were associated with depression, anxiety and stress among Indonesia

Abstract

Stroke is cerebrovascular disease, causing deterioration of brain function as a result of cerebral blood flow disruption. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the world and is considered an important cause of long-term disability and cognitive impairment. Risk factors of stroke are further divided into unmodifiable risk factors and modifiable risk factors, with one of the most common modifiable risk factors of stroke, is cigarette smoking. Besides being one of the risk factors that cause stroke, cigarette smoking is believed to have a role in cognitive impairment. This study aims to obtain information regarding the association between cigarette smoking and cognitive function in stroke patients of Siloam Lippo Karawaci Hospital. This research is an unpaired comparative analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Data sampling was taken by consecutive sampling on 56 stroke patients of Siloam Lippo Karawaci Hospital. Cognitive function was made based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment version Indonesia (MoCA-INA). All data were analyzed by Chi-Square test using SPSS version 25 and the result is considered significant if the p-value < 0,05. From the result of this study. There is a significant association between cigarette smoking and cognitive function (p-value 0,004 and OR 5,343).

Abstract

A primary headache is the most common neurological complaint and is experienced by almost everyone throughout life.  The most common type of primary headache is TTH (Tension-Type Headache) and Migraine. Quality of sleep is associated with life satisfaction and data shows that one-third of adults are affected by poor sleep. Many studies have mentioned that there is a relationship between quality of sleep and primary headache, but no study has ever been conducted in Siloam Hospital Karawaci. We did a case-control study in Siloam Hospital Karawaci using purposive sampling, with a total of 50 patients as the subjects. Data were collected using the PSQI questionnaire and DASS 42 between January 2019 - March 2019. It was found that there was a significant relationship between sleep quality and primary headache (p= <0,001).

Abstract

Background: The main feature of COVID-19 is symptoms of respiratory system disorder, however, there has been an increase in reports of neurological symptoms that appear in COVID-19 patients. Several previous studies have linked SARS-CoV-2 with nervous system damage. Research studying neurological complaints in  confirmed COVID-19 patients in Indonesia is still lackingAim: To identify neurological, laboratory, and imaging findings in COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional observational study conducted at Siloam Hospitals Mampang, a COVID-19 referral hospital in South Jakarta. We analyzed medical records of confirmed COVID-19 patients during the period of April - July 2020. The data collected included demographic data, comorbidities, neurological manifestations, laboratory examinations, and neuroimaging.Results: There were 22 confirmed COVID-19 patients with neurological complaints referred to a neurologist. The mean age of patients was 60.4 (SD 15.8) years. The most common neurological complaints were altered mental status (50%), hemiparesis (27.3%), and tremors (22.7%). More than half of the patients (81.8%) had a comorbid condition or past history related to neurological symptoms. Laboratory examination results showed increased NLR (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio) (50%), anemia (45.5%), and leukocytosis (40.1%). The most common neuroimaging feature was infarct (50%) in the brain CT scan.Conclusion: The neurological complaints in COVID-19 patients are mostly associated with exacerbation of pre-existing comorbidities as a result of the severe inflammatory process triggered by COVID-19. Further research is needed to establish the mechanism of nervous system dysfunction in COVID-19.

Abstract

Vaginal discharge or fluor albus is a problem that is often found in women. Daily use of panty liner is a predisposing factor of pathological/abnormal vaginal discharge. This paper reviews the correlation between the use of panty liner and vaginal discharge. The aims of this study were to analyze the effect of daily panty liner use as a risk factor of vaginal discharge. This research is done by using the cross-sectional method. The study population is students of the University of Pelita Harapan in the Faculty of  Nursery. Sample size calculation was done using the categorical comparative analytical formula and a result of 46 samples were obtained for each population. A questionnaire was used in this research. Statistical analysis is done by using the SPSS 22.0 program with the Chi-Square method. Bivariate analysis on 92 respondents revealed that there is a significant association between the usage of a panty liner and abnormal vaginal discharge (p-value <0.05). Based on bivariate analysis panty liner material is not related to abnormal vaginal discharge (p-value >0.05).

Abstract

Introduction: Orbital complications secondary to acute rhinosinusitis can cause permanent vision loss and death if not treated promptly and appropriately. The prevalence of orbital complications due to rhinosinusitis is more common in children than adults, occurring in 3-4% of children with acute rhinosinusitis. Lamina papyracea in children has many dehiscences, the nasal cavity tends to be narrower and the mucosa is softer than in adults, therefore causing the spread of infection more easily from the sinuses to the eyes. Clinical presentation: a 4-year-old child presented with eye swelling and pus discharge in the right eye for 5 days before being admitted to the hospital, for which she was treated with medication and did not improve. On physical examination, there is a narrow nasal cavity, inferior turbinate edema, and hyperemia, mucopurulent discharge. CT scan and MRI revealed contrast enhancement in intraorbital with suspected intraorbital abscess with orbital cellulitis, right pansinusitis, and buccal abscess. Functional endoscopic orbital decompression was done immediately.Conclusion: Orbital complications due to acute rhinosinusitis are uncommon but potentially lead to more fatal complications. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of immediate functional endoscopic sinus surgery and antimicrobial therapy have a good outcome.

Abstract

Background: Hemorrhoids are a common lesion affecting 5% of the general population. Open hemorrhoidectomy has been considered a gold standard. However, this method has a significant score of postoperative pain Because of this side effect, another alternative method to treat hemorrhoids has been invented which can reduce post-operative pain. One of these methods is doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation and rectoanal repair (DGHAL-RAR). This study aims to know the comparison of the postoperative pain score between doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation and rectoanal repair compared with open hemorrhoidectomy.Method: The sample population of this study is internal hemorrhoid grade III-IV patients at Siloam Hospitals Lippo Village from 2018-2020. Visual analog scale data are taken from medical records. Sample data is obtained using a consecutive sampling method until 64 samples are met. The data obtained will be processed with the Mann U-Whitney test.Results: Incidence of postoperative pain more than VAS 3 occurred in DGHAL-  RAR and open hemorrhoidectomy is 81,3% and 96,9% with a p-value of 0,104. The average score of Visual Analogue Scale score in DGHAL-RAR and open hemorrhoidectomy are 1,97 and 3,13 with a p-value of 0,001.Conclusion: This study shows that the comparison of pain scores in DGHAL-RAR and open hemorrhoidectomy is not statistically significant. The mean score of the Visual Analogue Scale Score in the DGHAL-RAR group is statistically significantly lower than the mean score in the open hemorrhoidectomy group.
