Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2 DM) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mor­tality worldwide. Morbidity and mortality due to diabetes are associated with the development of various microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and macro­vascular complications (coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease). This study aimed to examine the determinants of biopsychosocial macro and microvascular complications in pa­tients with type 2 DM at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational with a case-control design. The study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi, Surakarta, Central Java, from January to March 2018. A sample of 75 Type 2 DM cases with complication and 75 Type 2 DM cases without complication was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variables were macro and microvascular com­plications. The independent variables were body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, quality of life, depression, duration of disease, physical activity, diet, medication adherence, health financing, and routine blood sample. Clinical data were taken from medical record. The data of other varia­bles were collected by a set of pre-tested questionnaire. Logistic regression was employed for data ana­lysis.Results: The risk of macro and microvascular complications in type 2 DM patients increased with high BMI (OR= 22.00; 95% CI= 7.50 to 64.52, p<0.001), poor quality of life (OR= 7.06; CI 95%= 3.51 to 14.16, p<0.001), depression (OR= 3.30; 95% CI= 1.39 to 7.79, p= 0.007), longer duration of disease (OR= 9.71; 95% CI= 2.79 to 33.71, p<0.001), lack of physical activity (OR= 8.16; 95% CI= 1.23 to 53.93, p=0.029), poor diet (OR= 3.58; 95% CI= 1.39 to 9.18, p=0.008), poor medication adherence (OR= 4.54; 95% CI= 1.71 to 12.05, p=0.002), and irregular blood sample control (OR= 5.80; 95% CI= 1.97 to 14.65, p=0.001).Conclusion: The risk of macro and microvascular complications in patients with type 2 DM is de­ter­mined by BMI, quality of life, depression, duration of disease, physical activity, diet, medication adhe­rence, and blood sample control.Keywords: biopsychosocial, macrovascular, microvascular, complications, type 2 DMCorrespondence: Handoko.

Abstract

Background: Impaired fertility affects 717% of all couples. Isolated male factor infertility may occur in 20% of all infertile couples. One recent study demonstrated a high rate of erectile dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and dysfunctional sexual relationships among male partners of infertile couples. This study aimed to examine the biopsychosocial factors on infertility among men in Surakarta, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Sekar Clinic (Infertility Clinic), Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, from January to May 2018. A sample of 120 men was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was infertility. The independent variables were age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, occupational radiation exposure, stress, and physical activity. Data on infertility were obtained from medical record. The other variables were measured by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis run on Stata 13.Results: Male infertility was directly and positively associated with age ?40 years (b=1.45; 95% CI= 0.34 to 2.49; p=0.010), BMI ?25 (b=0.98; 95% CI= -0.95 to 2.05; p=0.074), smoking (b=0.98; 95% CI= 0.57 to 1.91; p= 0.037), occupational radiation exposure (b=1.63; 95% CI= 0.52 to 2.75; p=0.004), and lack of physical activity (b=1.11; 95% CI= 0.13 to 2.09; p=0.027). Male infertility was indirectly associated with stress.Conclusion: Male infertility is directly and positively associated with age ?40 years, BMI ?25, smoking, occupational radiation exposure, and lack of physical activity. Male infertility is indirectly associated with stress.Keywords: infertility, male, smoking, body mass index, occupational radiation exposure, path analysisCorrespondence:Devita Agustina.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is associated with a decrease in iron status, possibly it is an increase in hepcidin, an inflammatory protein that reduces iron absorption. Hepcidin is associated with iron homeostasis and inflammation. This study aims to determine differences in levels of hepcidin and ferritin of obesity pregnant women and normal weight before pregnancy.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a case control design. A total of 62 pregnant women was selected by consecutive technique sampling and divided into 2 groups, namely obesity and normal weight before pregnancy. The study was conducted at RSIA BadrulAini Medan and at RSUP H.Adam Malik Medan from September to December 2016. The dependent variable of this study was the weight before pregnancy. The independent variable washepcidin levels examined by ELISA method, ferritin content with Immunochemiluminescent method. The data analysis employed Mann Whitney's different test.Results: Median of hepcidin level in obese pregnant women before pregnancy was higher than pregnant mother with normal weight of 7.08 ng / mL (2.14 to 78.18). There was no difference in hepcidin level in both groups (p = 0.578). Median ferritin levels in obese pregnant women were higher than the normal weight of 20.57 ?g / L (3.66 to 102.25). There was no difference of ferritin levels in both groups (p = 0.598).Conclusion: This study showed no difference in hepcidin levels and ferritin levels in obese pregnant women and normal weight before pregnancy.Keywords: Feritin,hepcidin, obesity before pregnancy, normal body weight before pregnancyCorrespondence: Hadiyatur Rahma.

Abstract

Background: Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (CRSD) is a sleep pattern disorder that can be caused by a shift work system, especially the night shift. This disorder can cause various cardiovascular diseases, psychological, decreased concentration, even Alzheimer's. Some professions that demand high precision such as nurses who work with night shifts in the Emergency Room are very vulnerable to CRSD and if not handled, it can lead to work negligence. The purpose of this review is to review CRSD due to work shifts, possible risks to the ED nurse and how to overcome them.Subjects and Method: This article uses CRSD-related reviews published from 2000-2018 from various databases: PubMed, PMC Central and Elsevier open-access. The search was conducted on 1-14 July 2018 with keywords: "Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders", "treatment AND CRSD", "the effect of CRSD", "CRSD AND nursing, and" CRSD in night workers ".Results: Based on the 20 articles reviewed, CRSD is a sleep pattern disorder that can be caused by endogenous factors and exogenous factors. One exogenous factor is a disturbance due to working time with the shift work disorders (SWD) system. There are several ways to overcome CRSD due to working hours, including: taking a nap before work, modifying the environment by avoiding light if going to sleep, but approaching light if you have to wake up, resetting your sleep schedule, and giving melatonin.Conclusions: CRSD due to work disorders is called SWD which can be overcome by rearranging sleep, modifying the environment to fit the circadian rhythm, and consuming melatonin if needed.Keywords: Circadian rhythm sleep disorders, shift work disorders, nursesCorrespondence: Arief Wahyudi Jadmiko.

Abstract

Background: Bacterial vaginosis is commonly experienced by women of reproductive age. The Nugent score is the gold standard for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis. Prebiotic Glucomannan hydrolysates (GMH) as a therapy in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and has an immunomodulatory effect on the immune system and provides cellular immunity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of GMH and BV Gel on Nugent scores, Treg cell presentation, and TGF ? levels in bacterial vaginosis of women of childbearing age.Subjects and Method: This was an experimental study. A sample of 24 women aged 20 to 45 years old with bacterial vaginosis (Nugent score ?7) was divided into 4 groups: oral antibiotic group metronidazole (500mg), combination of GMH (300mg) and metronidazole, 5 ml BV Gel tube, and combination of GMH and BV Gel scores. The dependent variables were GMH and BV Gel administrations. The independent variables Nugent score, Treg presentation, and TGF-? level. Nugent score, Treg cell presentation, and TGF ? level were measured on day-0, day-11, and day-22. The data were analyzed by one way Anova.Results: The results of the analysis after treatment on day 22 showed that the GMH and BV gel were able to reduce Nugent scores, increase Treg cell presentation and TGF ? levels in bacterial vaginosis of women of childbearing age.Conclusion: GMH as an alternative therapy for bacterial vaginosis compared with antibiotic treatment can improve normal vaginal flora and stimulate the immune system in vitro and in vivo significantly.Keywords: Glucomannan Hydrolysates, BV Gel, Nugent sel Treg score, TGF ?Correspondence:Ambar Dwi Retnoningrum.

Abstract

Background: Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of nervous system in humans and the single most common cause of acquired epileptic seizures in the developing country. But in Indonesia, it was rarely reported. It has wide variety of clinical manifestation due to its pleomorphic nature.Subjects and Method: We reported a case of a 12 years old male with seizure and hydrocephalus due to intraventricular neurocysticercosis. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt (V-P shunt) performed to reduce the intracranial pressure due to hydrocephalus and followed by endoscopic surgery to taking sample of the neurocysticercosis and reducing the mass.Results: Pathological anatomy examination of excised mass found worm eggs. The patient received medications of albendazole and metil prednisolon.Conclusion: Intraventricular neurocysticercosis causing hydrocephalus is the commonest surgical indication, with V-P shunt placement followed by endoscopic surgery as the procedure of choice as it minimally invasive.Keyword: Intraventricular neurocysticercosis, hydrocephalus, headache, V-P shunt, endoscopic surgery.Correspondence:Ruzbih Bahtiar.
