Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a major contributing factor for poor prognosis in many diseases and COVID-19 is no exception. Studies regarding the relationship between obesity and poor COVID-19 disease severity and outcome are however lacking in the gulf region. This study aimed to examine links between BMI and high mortality rate, duration of intensive care unit admission, and time on mechanical ventilation support among COVID-19 patients under the care of Dubai Health Authority (DHA) in the United Arab Emirates.Subjects dan Method: This was a retrospective, descriptive, record-based study of 637 patients admitted with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 PCR at three tertiary hospitals in Dubai, UAE. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from March 1st, 2020, through June 1st, 2020, all patients aged 18 and above were included, pregnant ladies were excluded. The dependent variables were ICU admission, COVID severity, need of respiratory support, viral clearance. The independent variables were the disease outcome between the obese and non-obese. The data were analyzed using chi-square test.Results: Total 200 (31.4%) were obese, while 435 (68.3%) were not obese. Most patients (81%) were male patients. Data Analysis reveals that obesity is associated with the risk of ICU admissions (OR=2.88, 95%CI=1.9 to 4.37; p<0.001). The findings also indicate that Covid-19 obese patients required higher respiratory support devices compared to non-obese patients (35.8% vs 16.3%, respectively) (OR= 2.87, 95%CI=1.93 to 4.27; p<0.001). Clinical severity at day 7th of hospital admissions among obese patients was direr compared to non-obese patients (34.5% vs 15.9%, respectively) (OR=2.79, 95%CI=1.87 to 4.16; p<0.001). Mortality rate at day 14 of admission were found higher among obese group too (9.5% vs 3.4%) (OR=2.95, 95%CI=1.46to 5.94; p= 0.020).Conclusion: This study indicates that COVID-19 patients with obesity (BMI more than 30 kg/m2) are found to have severer respiratory manifestations, higher mortality rate, prolonged periods of intensive care unit admission, and utilization of invasive mechanical ventilation.

Abstract

Background: Malaria is an important threat to pregnant women, with an increased risk for both mother and newborn, especially in the first and second pregnancies caused by P. falciparum. Malaria infection in pregnant women can cause anemia in the mother and fetus, as well as babies with low birth weight, this can increase maternal and infant mortality rates. This study aims to analyze the magnitude of the influence of malaria infection in pregnant women on the incidence of anemia based on a number of previous similar studies.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis carried out by following the PRISMA flow diagram. The process of searching for articles is carried out through a journal database which includes: Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct by selecting articles published in 2010-2020. Key words used include: "malaria infection" AND "pregnancy women" OR "anemia" AND "adjusted odds ratio". The inclusion criteria were full paper articles with observational study design, articles in English, multivariate analysis used with adjusted odds ratios. Articles that meet the requirements are analyzed using the Revmen 5.3 application.Results: A total of seven articles were reviewed in this study with a cross-sectional study design. A meta-analysis of 7 cross-sectional studies showed that malaria infection had a 1.72 times increased risk of anemia in pregnant women compared to those not infected with malaria (aOR 1.72; 95% CI 1.43 to 2.07; p <0.001).Conclusion: Malaria infection increases the risk of anemia in pregnant women.Keywords: malaria infection, pregnancy, anemia, meta-analysisCorrespondence: Firdausi Nuzula.

Abstract

Background: Children with cerebral palsy generally experience hand functional disorders which then affect the child's occupational performance. Hand functional ability is the ability to use the hand in doing activities. To be able to perform occupational performance, good hand functional abilities are needed. To achieve this, interventions are needed, one of which is constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) which is hypothesized to be able to improve hand functional ability and occupational per-formance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of CIMT on the hands functional ability and the occupation performance of children with cerebral palsy.Subjects and Method: This study used a systematic review design and meta-analysis using the PRISMA flow chart guidelines. The process of searching for articles was carried out between 2005-2020 using databases from PubMed, Science Direct, AJOT, Springer Link, and Google Scholar. Based on the database, there were 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria. This study involved 669 subjects of hand functional ability and 440 subjects of occupational performance. The analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 20 articles conducted a meta-analysis review. A total of 18 articles conducted a meta-analysis showing that giving CIMT to children with cerebral palsy was significantly able to improve hands functional ability of children with cerebral palsy (SMD = 0.40; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.71; p = 0.01). A total of 11 articles conducted a meta-analysis showing that giving CIMT to children with cerebral palsy was able to improve occupational performance abilities but it was not statistically significant (SMD = 0.18; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.52; p = 0.32).Conclusion: CIMT can improve hand functional abilities and occupational performance of children with cerebral palsy.

Abstract

Background: Presbycusis incidence is thought to have a relationship with hereditary factors, metabolism, atherosclerosis, noise and lifestyle. The presbycusis classification consists of Sensory (outer hair-cell), neural (ganglion-cell), metabolic (strial atrophy), and conductive cochlea (stiffness of the basilar membrane). Factors that influence presbycusis include age, gender, genetics, hypertension, gout, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, noise exposure, and smoking. This study aims to determine the factors that influence presbycusis on the audiogram image at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Subjects and Method: This study was an analytical study with a cross sectional design in elderly patients at the polyclinic. The study was conducted in November to December 2019. The dependent variable was the incidence of presbycusis. The independent variables were uric acid levels, blood sugar levels, smoking habits, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Data were analyzed by using chi square test. Results: The prevalence of presbycusis in the 45-59 years age group was 39 people (54.2%) and the 60-74 years age group was 33 people (45.8%). In this study, it shows that male respondents are more than female respondents, where the number of men is 58 people (80.6%) and women are 14 people (19.4%). Based on presbycusis type, there were 33 (45.9%) people (normal), 18 (25%) people (strrial type), 7 (7.9%) people (neural type), 7 (7.9%) people (sensory type), 7 (7.9%) people (cochlear type). High sugar content (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.81 to 6.13; p <0.001), uric acid levels (OR= 2.36; 95% CI= 1.19 to 4.70; p= 0.005), total cholesterol levels (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.81 to 6.13; p <0.001), and smoking (OR= 1.90; 95% CI = 1.21 to 2.97; p= 0.016) increased the risk of presbycusis. Conclusion: High sugar levels, uric acid levels, total cholesterol levels, and smoking habits increase the risk of presbycusis.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is defined as a symptom that cannot be specifically validated. LBP is one of the most common forms of musculoskeletal disorders. Anyone can experience lower back pain throughout his life, because LBP is back pain without any underlying abnormalities. There are many exercises that can be given to treat this LBP, one of which is the McKenzie Exercise. The principle of this exercise is to improve posture to reduce lumbar hyperlordosis. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the McKenzie Exercise for pain reduction in patients with non-specific LBP. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis carried out with the PRISM flow diagram. Search for articles through journal databases includes: PubMed, Science Direct, Google Schoolar and PEDro by selecting articles published in 2010-2020. The keywords used were ("LBP" OR "Low Back Pain") AND ("McKenzie Exercise" OR "Therapy") AND "randomized controlled trial". The inclusion criteria were full paper articles with the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), the size of the relationship used with the Mean SD, the intervention given was McKenzie Exercise, the study subjects had an age range of 18-65 years, and experienced non-specific low back pain, without radicular pain. Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis of 11 articles showed that the McKenzie Exercise was able to reduce pain in patients with non-specific low back pain by 0.44 times compared to other interventions or no intervention. (SMD -0.44; 95% CI = -1.06 to 0.18; p = 0.16).Conclusion: McKenzie Exercise has a weak effect to reduce pain in patients with non-specific low back pain.
