Abstract

Background: Herniated Nucleus Pulposus Cervicalis (HNPC) is a medical condition characte­rized by the posterior or posterolateral protrusion of the intervertebral disc, resulting from the degeneration of the fibrous annulus. This protrusion exerts pressure on the nerve roots and spinal cord, leading to the development of neurological disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of manual therapy in alleviating neck pain among patients diagnosed with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus. Subjects and Method: A randomized controlled trial was carried out at JIH Hospital in Yogyakarta from August to September 2023. Fourteen patients diagnosed with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus (HNPC) were purposively sampled for the study. Seven patients underwent manual therapy as an intervention, while the remaining seven received standard treatment as the control group. The dependent variable assessed was neck pain, measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The independent variable was orthopedic manual physical therapy. The differences in neck pain scores between the two groups were analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: Following the intervention, the pain score in the intervention group (Mean 2.43; SD= 1.13) exhibited a significant reduction compared to the control group (Mean= 4.86; SD= 0.90), with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: Orthopedic manual therapy effectively alleviates neck pain in individuals with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus.

Abstract

Background: High blood sugar levels can cause diabetes mellitus (DM), which currently means more than one in 10 adults live with diabetes, with the biggest risk factor being obesity. Wound healing in DM patients will be hampered and increase the incidence of diabetic ulcers in Indonesia by 12% and the risk of developing diabetic ulcers by 55.4%. Diabetic ulcers and gangrene cases in Indonesia are the most common cases found in hospitals. Mortality due to ulcers and gangrene ranges from 17-23%, while the amputation rate ranges from 15-30%. Therapeutic potential in the treatment of diabetic ulcers is possessed by suruhan leaves which have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antimicrobial and anticancer effects, as well as having analgesic effects. Subjects and Method: A total of 30 male white rats of the Wistar strain (Rattus norvegicus) were divided equally into control groups, negative control (STZ induction 40mg/kgBW), positive control (STZ induction 40mg/kgBW with metformin 50mg/kgBW/day), treatment group I (STZ induction 40mg/kgBW with ethanol extract of shrike leaves 40mg/kgBW), and treatment group II (STZ induction 40mg/kgBW). kgBB with ethanol extract of 80 mg/kgBB leaves). Next, blood sugar levels (KGD) and macroscopic examination of diabetic ulcer wounds are carried out. Data were analyzed using the Anova test. Results: The lowest blood sugar levels (183.83 ± 11.39), the lowest wound area (6.89 ± 0.86), and the highest percentage of excision wound healing (89.67 ± 1.37) were found in the positive control group. There was a significant relationship between groups of mean blood sugar levels, between groups of wound area, and between groups of healing percentage of excision area (P<0.05). Conclusion: Administration of ethanol extract of suruhan leaves (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth) had an effect on reducing blood glucose levels and healing diabetic ulcer wounds in STZ-induced diabetic ulcer model mice.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a brain attack that occurs suddenly where there is partial or complete disruption of brain function as a result of disruption of blood flow due to blockage or rupture of certain blood vessels in the brain, causing brain cells to lack blood, oxygen or nutrients and ultimately can cause These cells die in a relatively short time. In general, strokes are divided into 2, namely hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic strokes. Balance disorders due to loss or decreased motor function make stroke patients vulnerable to falls. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of giving Compelled body weight shift on non-hemorrhagic stroke to improve dynamic balance. Subjects and Method: This research was a quasi experiment conducted in Sri Meranti Village, Rumbai, Pekanbaru, Indonesia, from June 2023. 12 non-hemorrhagic stroke patients were selected using purposive sampling. The dependent variable was dynamic balance. The independent variable was compelled body weight shift. Body dynamic balance was measured using Berg balance scale. Body dynamic balance before and after intervention was examined using . Results: There was a significant increase in balance between the control group and the experi­men­tal group in non-hemorrhagic stroke sufferers after the compelled body weight shift was carried out (p<0.001). Conclusion: Compelled body weight shift balance training can be used to improve the body dynamic balance in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Abstract

Background: De Quervain's Syndrome is a collection of symptoms accompanied by inflamma­tion and pain in the tendon sheath that covers the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus muscles. These symptoms appear as a result of cumulative (repeated) microtrauma and overuse causing malfunction of the tendon sheath. Cause of De Quervain's Syndrome is still not known for certain. Due to hormonal factors, it is more common in pregnant women and most common in people aged 30 to 55 years. This study aimed to examine the relationship between pregnancy and lactation on the incidence of de Quervain' syndrome. Subjects and Method: This was an observational study conducted at the PDHI Islamic Hospital, Yogyakarta, from August to September 2023. Total sample of 70 third trimester of pregnant women or lactating mothers who had children aged 1 month to 1 year was selected purposively. The dependent variable was De Quervain's syndrome. The independen variable was pregnancy and lactation. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by Chi square test. Results: Pregnancy and lactation reduced the risk of de Quervain's syndrome (OR= 0.34; 95% CI= 0.125 to 0.907; p=0.029). Conclusion: Pregnancy and lactation reduced the risk of de Quervain's syndrome.
