Abstract

Background: Corona Virus Deases 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the corona virus. COVID-19 is currently a challenge for diabetes patients. Diabetes mellit­us predisposes to a very severe disease course and increases the risk of death from COVID-19. This study aims to estimate the average mag­ni­tude of the effect of diabetes mellitus comor­bi­dity on the risk of death of COVID-19 patients.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. This research was conducted using secondary data that will be conducted by searching and selecting data from the results of clinical trials conducted around the world. Search for articles through syste­matic and comprehensive databases from Pub­med, Google Scholar, Springer Link. The ana­lysis in this study was carried out using the Review Manager 5.3 software. The results of the analysis are the effect size, heterogeneity and then the study model. Variations between studies are used to determine the analysis model which is divided into two models, namely the fixed effect model (FEM) and the random effect model (REM).Results: Based on the results of the analysis, there was high heterogeneity between experi­ments (I2= 85%; p= 0.04), so that the Random Effects Model (REM) was used. COVID-19 patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus were 2.17 times more likely to die than patients without comorbid diabetes mellitus (aOR 2.17; 95% CI 1.04 to 4.54).Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus co-morbidity increases 2.17 times the risk of death in COVID-19 patients compared to patients without dia­betes mellitus comorbidity.Keywords: COVID-19, Comorbidity, Diabetes Mellitus, DeathCorrespondence: Utin Ilma Agni Kun'ain.

Abstract

Background: Epilepsy is one of the oldest neurological disease requiring long-term treat­ment. Long-term use of certain anti-epileptic drugs (AED) will strongly induce cytochrome-P450 (CYP) enzyme resulting increase of homo­cysteine associated with risk of cerebrovascular disease and depression. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between serum level of ApoA, ApoB, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) with depression in epileptic patients receiving AED therapy.Subjects and Method: Respondents of this cross-sectional study were epileptic outpatients in neurology clinic Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta receiving AED therapy and met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Depression condition was evaluated by Hamilton Depress­ion Rating Scale (HDRS). Serum level of ApoA, ApoB, and CRP of each respondent were mea­sured from vein blood. Data were analyzed by a multiple linear regression.Results: There were 51 epileptic patients with proportional ratio between men and women (1.2:1) with age range from 18 to 59 years old. The average length of AED 92.67 months (Mean= 92.67; SD= 91.58). Average of HDRS score was 8.49. Meanwhile, average of ApoA level was 86.14 mg/dL, average of ApoB level was 47.57 mg/dL, and average of CRP level was 0.18 mg/dL. Serum level of ApoA, ApoB, and CRP increased depression (HDRS score) in epileptic patients.Conclusion: There was a statistically signi­fi­cant relationship between serum level of ApoA, ApoB, and CRP with depressive condi­tion of epileptic patients receiving long-term AED treatment.Keywords: ApoA, ApoB, C-Reactive Protein, depression, epilepsyCorrespondence: Diah Kurnia Mirawati.

Abstract

Background: Over the past 50 years, laparoscopy has evolved from a limited gynecological surgical procedure that is only used for diagnosis and tubal ligation to become the main surgical tool used for many gynecological indications. Many studies have shown that laparoscopy is safer, more affordable, and has a shorter recovery time than laparotomy. This study aimed to report the management of laparoscopic surgery in intraoperative subcutaneous emphysema.Case Presentation: The subject of the study was a 37-year-old woman with adenomyosis and chocolate cyst of sinistra with a surgery plan for resection of adenomyosis and per laparoscopic cystectomy with the physical status of the ASA II Plan GAET. The surgery was carried out on October 15, 2018, with surgery for 5 hours. At the intraoperative, subcutaneous emphysema was found from the diaphragm to the thorax. In this condition, the peritoneal insufflation was reduced to 10-12 mmHg. The head down was returned to a position that made it easier for the patient's condition to reduce the occurrence of decreased lung compliance. The patient's postoperative condition was good, the hemodynamic was stable, her breath was spontaneous, and the saturation was 99% with oxygen supplementation via Nasal Kanul 3 lpm. The subcutaneous emphysema gradually disappeared 24 hours postoperatively. Conclusion: Subcutaneous emphysema may occur in the laparoscopic procedures. The close monitoring during surgery and the expertise of the anesthesiologist in diagnosing and intervening is crucial in controlling this condition.Keywords: subcutaneous emphysema; laparoscopy; intraoperative interventionCorrespondence: RTH.

Abstract

Background: Elderly is an age group which is extremely susceptible to suffer from health problems such as hypertension. Hypertension among the elderly is instigated by structural and functional changes in blood vessels. The changes include atherosclerosis, loss of connective tissue elasticity, and decreased vascular muscle relaxation that it reduces the distension and tensile strength of blood vessels. One of the therapies that may be implemented to elderly with hypertension is slow stroke back massage (SSBM) and lavender aromatherapy. The study aims to discover the effects of slow back massage (SSBM) and lavender aromatherapy toward the reduced blood pressure among hypertensive elderly.Subjects and Method: It was a quasi-experiment study with no control group which had been conducted in Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) Kamboja, Plesungan, Gondangerjo, Karanganyar, Central Java, in July 2019. A sample of 40 elderlies was selected by using total sampling. The dependent variables were systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The independent variables were slow stroke back mass-age (SSBM) and lavender aromatherapy. Blood pressure was measured by sphygmomanometer. The data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon. Results: The average systolic blood pressure post slow stroke back massage therapy and la-vender aroma therapy was (Mean=133.63; SD= 7.34) compared with prior therapy was (Mean= 167.80; SD= 6.12) with the value of p<0.001. The average diastolic blood pressure post slow stroke back massage therapy and lavender aroma therapy was (Mean= 68.28; SD= 4.25) compared with the prior therapy was (Mean= 68.88; SD= 5.72) with the value of p<0.001. Conclusion: Slow stroke back massage (SS-BM) lavender aromatherapy may lower down blood pressure of hypertensive elderly.Keywords: Hypertension, slow stroke back massage, Lavender aromatherapy, elderlyCorrespondence: Fakhrudin Nasrul Sani.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is a serious complication of pregnancy, this is due to impaired carbohydrate tolerance which results in increased blood sugar levels and was first noticed during pregnancy. Gestational dia­betes mellitus is a global problem in terms of its incidence and impact. Studies suggest that obe­sity and a family history of diabetes mellitus are important risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to analyze the influ­ence of obesity and family history of diabetes mellitus on the incidence of gestational dia­betes mellitus by meta-analysis.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis carried out by follow­ing the PRISMA flow diagram. The electronic database for article searches is as follows: Pub­Med, Science Direct, Springer Link, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The search for articles was carried out on articles published from 2010 to 2020. The keywords used were "gestational dia­betes mellitus AND obesity", "gestational dia­betes mellitus AND family history. The inclu­sion criteria were full text articles, used Eng­lish, cross-sectional study design, and results reported in adjusted odds ratio (aOR). P= Preg­nant mother. I= Obesity and family history of diabetes mellitus. C= No obesity and no family history of diabetes mellitus. O= gestational dia­betes mellitus. Articles that meet the require­ments are analyzed using the Revman 5.3.Results: Nine articles were reviewed in this study with a total of 11,657 subjects. The results of the meta-analysis showed that obesity incre­ased the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus 1.81 times compared with non-obese (aOR= 1.81; 95% CI= 1.53 to 2.15; p <0.001). Having a family history of diabetes mellitus increased the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus 2.08 times compared with those without a family history of diabetes mellitus (aOR= 2.08; 95% CI= 1.34 to 3.22; p <0.001).Conclusion: Obesity and a family history of diabetes mellitus increase the risk of gesta­tional diabetes mellitus.Keywords: obesity, family history of diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitusCorrespondence: Galuh Sitorukmi.
