Abstract

Background: Dementia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. The elderly have a higher risk when exposed to COVID-19, especially if they have serious medical conditions such as dementia (senility). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dementia on the risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients based on previous primary studies.Subject and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis study using PRISMA diagrams. The article search was conducted based on the eligibility criteria using the PICO Model. P: COVID-19 patients, I: dementia, C: no dementia, O: mortality. The articles used were from 3 databases, namely Pubmed, Google Scholar and Science Direct. The search keywords for articles were as follows: dementia AND (death OR Mortality) AND COVID-19 OR Sars-Cov-2. The inclusion criteria in this study include full text articles with cohort study designs, full text available articles, the size of the relationship used is the adjusted Odds Ratio or Risk Ratio, the year the article used is in the 2019-2022 range and the research outcome is mortality. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: There are 9 articles in this study from New York, United States, Spain, Korea with 2 articles, and England with 4 articles. The article was analyzed using the PRISMA flow diagram. The results of the study show that COVID-19 patients with dementia have a mortality risk of 2.02 times greater than COVID-19 patients without dementia. These results were statistically significant (aOR= 2.19; 95% CI = 1.48 to 2.75; p<0.001).Conclusion: Dementia increases the risk of mortality from COVID-19Keywords: Dementia, mortality, COVID-19, SARS-COV-2Correspondence: Ulya Khoirunnisa’ Atin.

Abstract

Background:  COVID-19 is caused by a novel virus that can cause lung abnormalities which can be measured with new chest x-ray scoring system named Brixia score. In COVID-19 patients, coagulation disorders are often found that can be seen through D-Dimer levels. This study aimed to prove the Brixia Score as a predictor of D-Dimer levels.Subjects and Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 94 COVID-19 patients which taken from ICU Melati 1 Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta from March 2021 to August 2021 who met the exclusion and inclusion criteria. The independent variable is the Brixia score performed by radiologists and the dependent variable is D-Dimer levels taken from laboratory results. Sampling was obtained by purposive sampling and the data were investigated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results: 94 samples were obtained for analysis. The average Brixia Score of patients with D-Dimer <2 µg/mL was Mean= 15.85; SD= 1.43 and D-Dimer ≥2 µg/mL was Mean= 17.29; SD= 0.96. There was a significant difference between the Brixia Score of patients with D-Dimer <2 µg/mL and D-Dimer ≥2 µg/mL (p<0.001). Analysis with the ROC curve shows an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.793. The optimal cutoff value of the Brixia Score for predicting D-Dimer levels was 16.5 (sensitivity 77.9%, specificity 73.1%).Conclusion: Brixia Score proved to be a predictor of D-Dimer levels of COVID-19 patients in ICU care.Keywords: COVID-19, ICU, brixia score, predictor, D-Dimer.Correspondence: Widiastuti Soewondo, Radiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a problem that is starting to be found, not only in urban areas with high socioeconomic status but also in children living in rural areas, even from middle to lower socio­economic groups. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of electro-acupuncture in obesity cases.Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis was carried out with PICO: The population in this study were obese patients aged 16-65. The intervention was in the form of electro-acupuncture therapy. Comparison in the form of sham/ placebo acupuncture. The outcome is weight loss. A meta-analysis study was applied with electronic data sources: Clinical Key, Google Scholar, MED­LINE/PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus. The articles included were full-text with a Ran­domized Control Trial (RCT) study design. There were 10 articles used in this study with a sam­ple size of 818 people who were divided into two groups (455 people in the acupuncture group and 363 people in the sham/placebo acupuncture group). Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. The data were analyzed using Standardized Mean difference (SMD) and the heterogeneity of the research sample.Results: There was high heterogeneity between one experiment and another (I2= 86%; p<0.001), so the Random Effect Model (REM) was used. Electroacupuncture therapy was effective in reducing body weight with a Standardized Mean Different (SMD) of 0.50 compared to false acupuncture (SMD= -0.50; 95% CI= -0.92 to -0.08; p= 0.020).Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy can lose weight in obesity cases with a Standardized Mean Different (SMD) of 0.50 compared to fake acupuncture.Keywords: acupuncture, obesityCorrespondence: Nurmila Mutiah.

Abstract

Background: Hypercholesterol is a change in blood lipid profile levels, from rising cholesterol levels that can be triggered by frequent consumption of fatty foods. Hypercholesterol causes adipose tissue and macrophages to release inflammatory cytokines, then adipose cells release IL-6 and spur the formation of CRP. This study aimed to determine the effect of Virgin coconut oil (VCO) on changes in HDL, LDL, and IL-6 levels in hyper cholesterol mice.Subjects and Method: This randomized controlled trial was carried out at the PSPG UGM Nutrition Laboratory in August 2021. The total number of samples used was 20 tails and 4 spare tails, namely 24 male Wistar strain rats. Sampling using simple random sampling. The independent variables in this study were the dose of VCO 0.9 ml/200g BW/day, and 0.45 ml/200g BW/day. The dependent variables in this study were HDL, LDL, and IL-6 cholesterol levels in male Wistar rats. The data in the analysis used a normality test with the Shapiro-Wilk test and a data homogeneity test with the Levane test. HDL dan LDL levels were measured using a lysis reagent, while IL-6 was measured using the ELISA method.Results: Average LDL and HDL levels are highest in the P1 group compared to the P2, K0, and K1 groups. The One Way Anova test on HDL levels showed a significant difference between groups with p<0.001. One Way Anova test results on LDL and IL-6 levels showed significant differences between the groups (p<0.001) and (p= 0.004).Conclusion: Administering VCO at a dose of 0.9 mL/ 200 g BB/day 0.45 mL/200 g BB/day, and 86.4 mg/200 g can increase HDL and IL-6 levels in male rats Wistar strain with hyper cholesterol and lowered LDL levels by the same dose in male mice with hyper cholesterol.Keywords: hyper cholesterol, HDL, LDL, IL-6Correspondence: Meli Maulidia, Magister Ilmu Biomedik, Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang.

Abstract

Background: By 2045, the number of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) was expected to increase from 424.9 million in 2017. Healthcare professionals have had a difficult time managing diabetes because of nonadherence to therapy. Additionally, the efforts made to clarify and enhance patient adherence to their medication are not always successful. This study investigated the factors such as high knowledge on diabetes type 2 and strong belief in medicine that lead to medication non-adherence in adults.Subjects and Method: This article was a systematic review and meta-analysis study conducted by searching for articles from online databases such as EBSCO, ProQuest, and PubMed. Popula­tions: adults with diabetes mellitus; Intervention: a strong belief in anti-diabetic medication and high knowledge of diabetes mellitus; Comparison: a weak belief or none in anti-diabetic medication and little knowledge of diabetes mellitus; Outcome: non-adherence of anti-diabetic medication.  The independen variables is strong belief and high knowledge, the dependen variable is non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication. The inclusion criteria for this study were full articles using a cross-sectional study, with the publication year until 2022. We conduct the analysis using RevMan 5.3 software.Results: A total of 6 articles reviewed in the meta-analysis (consisted 4 articles in each variables), from countries: Ethiopia,  Australia, Uganda, Iran,  Palestine and  China, showed that respondents with strong belief in anti-diabetic medicines (aOR= 0.66; 95% CI= 0.48 to 0.90; p= 0.008) and high knowledge of diabetes mellitus (aOR= 0.85; 95% CI= 0.79 to 0.93; p= 0.0005) had lower level of non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication.Conclusion: A strong belief in anti-diabetic medicines and high knowledge of diabetes mellitus can lower non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication.Keywords: diabetes mellitus type 2, medication adherence, predictorsCorrespondence: Sri Iswahyuni.

Abstract

Background: The aging process occurs so fast, therefore the quality of life of the elderly needs to be very concerned. Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the predictor factors to improve the quality of life in the elderly. The study aims to find out whether there is a relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and the quality of life of the elderly.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Dukuh Pepe, Kwarasan, Juwiring, Klaten, Central Java. A sample of 31 elderly (aged 50-70 years) was selected using the purposive sampling method. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variable was cardiorespiratory fitness. Quality of life was measured by Ina's whoqol-breff questionnaire. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by a six-minute walking test. The data were analyzed with the spearman correlation test and the simple linear regression test.Results: Cardiorespiratory fitness improved the quality of life in the elderly in the physical health domain (OR= 44.55; 95% CI= 20.49 to 68.62), psychological domain (OR= 51. 14; 95% CI= 26.10 to 76.19), personal relationship domain, (OR= 76.94; 95% CI= 52.57 to 101.30), environmental domain (OR= 78.92; 95% CI= 49.51 to 108.33) although it was statistically insignificant.Conclusion: There was no relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and the quality of life of the elderly in rural areas in the aspects of the physical health domain, the psychological domain, the personal relationship domain, and the environmental domain.Keywords: cardiorespiratory fitness, quality of life, elderly, six-minute walking test, whoqol-breff.Correspondence: Farid Rahman.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) is an extremely rare vascular anomaly due to a direct connection between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, potentially causing irreversible damages to the systemic circulation. This condition requires a prompt diagnostic approach to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.Case Report: A 53-year-old Indonesian female was referred to our department with unexplained dyspnoea and cyanosis. Physical examination revealed low oxygen saturation and remarkable finding on pulmonary auscultation. Further investigation revealed the findings suggesting PAVM based on contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) scan, with multiple nidus on bilateral lungs with feeder arteries from the pulmonary artery and draining veins in the pulmonary vein. Hence, this case emphasizes the rare finding of a female PAVMs patient with bilateral PAVMs.Conclusion: CT scan is a reliable and effective imaging approach to establish the diagnosis of PAVMs. This modality should be first considered to visualize PAVMs lesions, particularly in adult patients with unexplained dyspnoea and cyanosis.Keywords: arteriovenous malformations, CT scan, rare case, embolizationCorrespondence: Sony Sutrisno.

Abstract

Background: The increase in Covid-19 cases in Indonesia as well as the hospital length of stay is unpredictable. The degree of lung damage in Covid-19 largely determines the severity of the disease, a serial chest X-ray using Brixia score can be used to assess changes in pulmonary parenchymal damage and could predict the length of hospitalization. This study aims to analyze the correlation of Brixia score with the length of hospitalization in Covid-19 patients.Subjects and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Sumber Waras Hospital from November 2021 until January 2022. The samples are Covid-19 confirmed patients who were treated at Sumber Waras hospital. Independent variable is Brixia score and dependent variable is length of hospitalization. Brixia's score assessment from two serial chest X-rays was divided into 4 categories: low to low, low to high, high to low, and high to high. All the categories were analyzed using Kruskall-Wallis method then continued with Mann-Whitney U test. The multivariate variable was analyzed using linear regression.Results: There are 190 samples, the median score of Brixia at the beginning of treatment is 4 (range 0-18), and the median score of Brixia on serial examination is 6 (range 0-18). Patients in low to low category had median 10 days length of hospitalization, low to high category and high to low category had median 11 days, and high to high category had median 8 days. There was no statistically significant correlation between Brixia score and length of hospitalization (p= 0.377).Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the median Brixia score changes with the length of hospitalization of covid-19 patients.Keywords: Covid-19, hospitalized, Brixia score changes, length of stayCorrespondence: Widiastuti Soewondo.
