Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a health problem that often occurs in society. Uncontrolled hypertension can trigger degenerative diseases such as heart disease and kidney failure. One of the therapies used to lower blood pressure is Ambon banana and sweet star fruit therapy. Subjects and Method: Research on elderly men suffering from hypertension in the Tarus Community Health Center working area used a Quasi-Experimental pretest–posttest with a Control Group research design. The number of samples in this study was 20 elderly men using a simple random sampling method. The dependent variable in this study was blood pressure, while the independent variable was the administration of Ambon banana juice, sweet star fruit juice, and a combination of Ambon banana juice and sweet star fruit juice. The measuring instrument used in this research is a questionnaire. The data analysis used in this research is Anova and Post hoc. Results: The average blood pressure in the elderly decreased after being given Ambon Banana Juice, Sweet Starfruit Juice, and a combination of Juices. The greatest reduction in blood pressure occurred in the group given Ambon banana juice (Mean= 140 mmHg; p=0.002), compared to sweet starfruit juice (Mean= 148 mmHg; p= 0.036), and these results were statistically significant. The juice combination also reduced the average blood pressure, but the results were not statistically significant (Mean= 156 mmHg; p= 0.454). Conclusion: The average blood pressure in the elderly decreased after being given Ambon Banana Juice, Sweet Starfruit Juice, and a combination of Juices. Keywords: hypertension, Ambon banana juice, sweet star fruit juice Correspondence: Nusthen Aries Manek. Universitas Negri Nusa Cendana Kupang. Jl. Adisucipto Penfui, Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur.

Abstract

Background: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are a form of disorders that occurs in muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. Globally, Musculoskeletal Disorders are one of the most common health problems that occur in all ages and genders. Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common problems in Musculoskeletal Disorders, which can cause various limitations in activity and participation. Musculoskeletal pain can occur in all ages and genders, including children and adolescents. Several studies show that musculoskeletal pain most commonly occurs in the vertebrae, trunk, neck, upper extremities and lower extremities. Musculoskeletal pain in MSDs can cause various negative impacts such as reduced learning motivation, academic failure and learning problems in student. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of implementing a school exercise training program as a prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders. Subjects and Method: This was  a quasi experiment with no control group. Total sample of 60 children was selected for this study. The dependent variables were spinal curve deformity, degree of forward head posture, and MSDs pain. The independent variable was school exercise program. Mean score before and after intervention were tested using Wilcoxon t test. Results: After implementing the school exercise program, spinal curve deformity (p=0.025), the degree of forward head posture (p=0.046), and MSDs pain (p=0.001) were all observed to decrease. Conclusion: Implementing exercise programs in schools can help prevent musculoskeletal disorders among school children.

Abstract

Background: Office bleaching is a treatment used to treat tooth discoloration, but it often results in tooth sensitivity. The desensitizing agent potassium nitrate and casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) can reduce tooth sensitivity because they work to inhibit nerve transmission, thereby preventing the sensation of pain. This study aimed to investigate the effect of potassium nitrate desensitization agents and CPP-ACP on tooth sensitivity after bleaching treatment.Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis with the following PICO format. Population= Patients who have undergone office bleaching treatment. Intervention= desensitizing agents potas-sium nitrate and CPP-ACP. Comparison: without desensitizing agent. Outcome: tooth sensitivity. Keywords used "Office bleaching" AND "Tooth sensitivity" OR "Dentine hypersensitivity" AND "Potassium nitrate" AND Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate" OR "CPP-ACP" AND "Randomized Controlled Trial" OR “RCT”. Studies published at PubMed, Springerlink, Cochrane Database, Hindawi, Elsevier, Google Scholar and Wiley Online Library databases, from 2013 to 2023. The selected articles were critically reviewed using the PRISMA checklist and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4.1. The effect size used is the Standardized Mean Difference (SMD).Results: A total of 13 RCTs from Brazil, Spain, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Jordan, Iran, and the United States was selected for meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of 7 articles shows that the use of potassium nitrate desensitization agents can reduce tooth sensitivity by 0.20 units lower than without the use of desensitization agents (SMD= - 0.20; 95% CI= -0.37 to -0.03; p=0.020). Meanwhile, 7 articles show that the use of CPP-ACP desensitization agents can reduce tooth sensitivity by 0.46 units lower than without the use of desensitization agents (SMD= -0.46; 95% CI= -0.67 to - 0.24; p<0.001).Conclusion: The use of potassium nitrate desensitization agents and CPP-ACP reduces tooth sensitivity compared to without the use of potassium nitrate desensitization agents and CPP-ACP and is statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis infections are endemic diseases in Asian countries. Although the incidence is rare, tuberculous spondylitis manifests as a severe and life-threatening disease. This study aims to correlate the abnormal result of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings. Subjects and Method: MR imaging of 60 patients with characteristics of spinal tuberculosis in 4-year 5 month period (January 2019 – May 2023) from Siloam Lippo Village is retrospectively analyzed and reviewed. Data were collected from Infinitt PACS and analyzed by SPSS. Dependent variables in this study are clinical suspicion for tuberculosis infection, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and tuberculosis infection in different organs. Meanwhile, the independent variables in this study are multilevel vertebral involvement, multilevel disc involvement, abscess formation, and myelopathy. Results: Association with elevated ESR (erytrocyte sedymentation rate) are seen in 11 out of 31 patients aged >40 (OR=0.45; CI 95%= 0.16 to 1.26; p=0.120), 19 out of 37 patients with clinically suspected for tuberculosis infection (OR=1.98; CI 95% 0.68 to 5.78; p=0.210); 27 out of 55 patients with multilevel vertebral body involvement (OR=0.8; CI 95%= 0.12 to 5.17); p=1); 13 out of 30 patients with intervertebral disc involvement (OR=0.87; CI 95% 0.32 –to2.42); p=0.8); 20 out of 50 patients with abscess formation(OR=0.29; CI 95%=0.66 to 1.24; p=0.08); 5 out of 12 patients with tuberculosis infection on other organs(OR=0.84; CI 95%=0.24 – 3.04; p=0.8); and 5 out of 6 patients with myelopathy(OR=7.3; CI95%=0.79 TO 66.6; p=0.04). Conclusion: MR has an important role in detecting extrapulmonary tuberculosis lesions, especially in the spine. Elevated ESR results play important roles for physicians in identifying patients with the possibility of spondylitis TB.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects the movement and posture of the brain of a developing fetus or baby. The prevalence is around 1-4 per 1000 live births globally, with 9 birth cases in Indonesia. CP children experience various sensory and motor disorders. Various interventions require a tool that can reliably detect the success of therapy. Electromyography (EMG) is an objective method for understanding muscle activity, helps in determining the muscles involved in movement, and provides related information about muscle activity in response to therapy. This study aimed to determine EMG in evaluating the results of therapy. Subjects and Method: A literature search was carried out using 2 databases, namely PubMed and Google Scholar regarding the use of EMG to assess or analyze physiotherapy interventions given to children with CP from the period 2018 - 2023. Using PRISMA as a writing rule. Results: 8 studies described the use of EMG in physiotherapy, 3 articles looked at muscle activity, 3 articles assessed muscle activation, 1 article assessed spastic responses, and 1 article looked at motor neuron excitatory pools. Conclusion: EMG helps physiotherapy in seeing muscle activity, muscle activation, seeing the spastic response of a muscle, and measuring the collection of excitatory motor neurons.

Abstract

Background: Gastric cancer is the third highest cancer mortality globally. This malignancy can result in emergency complications such as gastric perforation which results in pneumo­peritoneum. Currently, there are not many case reports which describe pneumoperitoneum in gastric cancer. In this report, we describe a gastric adenocarcinoma with pneumoperitoneum following jejunostomy feeding. Case Presentation: A 54 years old male presented with abdominal pain, black-colored feces, and body weight decrease as much as 22 kg within a month. The physical examination revealed anemic conjunctiva, distended abdomen with abdominal pain, and pale skin. On the lab examination, the hemoglobin level was 9.9 mg/dL. The peripheral blood smear showed signs of iron deficiency anemia caused by chronic process. An endoscopic examination and biopsy showed a gastric mass with well-moderately differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. The three positions abdominal x-ray incidentally found that the patient had pneumoperitoneum. Results: Patient was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma Gaster based on a gastric mass biopsy with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Then, the patient was treated with jejunostomy feeding. Thoracic and 3-position abdominal X-ray examinations revealed incidental findings of pneumoperitoneum and small bowel obstruction. Conclusion: Jejunostomy feeding in gastric cancer patient may result in pneumoperitoneum as a complication. Gastric adenocarcinoma followed by iron deficiency anemia from chronic process post jejunostomy feeding was found with pneumoperitoneum complication.
