Abstract

Background: The prevalence of obesity in women of reproductive age worldwide is increasing by an estimated 20-36%. Increased prevalence of obesity also occurs in pregnant women. Obesity increases the risk of poor pregnancy outcome. This study aims to investigate the effect of maternal obesity on preterm birth and neonatal mortality. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. The articles used were obtained from several databases, including: Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer Link, Proquest, and Scopus published from 2010 to 2021. The population in this study was pregnant women with an intervention in the form of obesity, comparison in the form of normal BMI, and outcome such as premature birth and neonatal death. The keywords used to search for articles were: (“maternal obesity” OR “maternal BMI”) AND (“premature birth” OR “preterm birth” OR “preterm delivery” OR “preterm labor”) AND (“neonatal mortality” OR “ neonatal death”) AND “adjusted Odds Ratio”, and “maternal obesity” AND (“premature birth” OR “preterm birth” OR “preterm delivery”) AND (“neonatal mortality” OR “neonatal death”) AND “adjusted Odds Ratio ". The article is a full text article with a cross-sectional and cohort study design. Articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 . application. Results:  There were 19 articles reviewed in the study. A meta-analysis of 13 cohort studies showed that obese pregnant women were 1.02 times more likely to have a premature birth when compared to normal BMI pregnant women, but this result was not statistically significant (aOR=1.02; 95% CI=0.93 to 1.13; p=0.630). A meta-analysis of 4 cohort studies showed that maternal obesity increased the risk of neonatal death and was statistically significant (aOR=1.52; 95% CI=1.17 to 1.99; p=0.002). A meta-analysis of 4 cross-sectional studies showed that maternal obesity increased the risk of neonatal death and was statistically significant (aOR=1.44; 95% CI=1.26 to 1.64; p<0.001). Conclusion:  Maternal obesity increases the risk of neonatal death which is statistically significant and the risk of preterm birth which is not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: A woman has an increased risk of breast cancer due to increased exposure to the hormone estrogen during her life due to early menarche, late menopause, and/or the absence of childbearing. Epidemiological data show that menopausal status has a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate overweight and obesity as risk factors for pre­menopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer. Subjects and Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis study was conducted by systema­tically reviewing articles published from 2010-2021 in the PubMed, Google Scholar, SpringerLink and Science Direct databases with the keywords overweight AND obesity AND "breast cancer" OR "breast carcinoma" AND "premenopausal women", overweight AND obesity AND "breast cancer" OR "breast carcinoma" AND "postmenopausal women". Inclusion criteria included articles in English, full text, using an observational study design, and displaying adjusted odds ratios. Articles were reviewed using PRISMA diagrams and analyzed using Revman 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis of 10 articles concluded that overweight women were 1.35 times more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer than women with a normal BMI (aOR= 1.35; 95% CI= 0.98 to 1.86; p= 0.070). A meta-analysis of 10 articles concluded that obese women were 1.27 times more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer than women with normal BMI (aOR= 1.27; 95% CI= 0.95 to 1.69; p= 0.110). A meta-analysis of 9 articles concluded that overweight women had a 1.28 times risk of developing postmenopausal breast cancer compared with women with a normal BMI (aOR= 1.28; 95% CI= 1.00 to 1.63; p= 0.050). A meta-analysis of 11 articles concluded that obese women were 1.52 times more likely to develop postmenopausal breast cancer than women with normal BMI (aOR= 1.52; 95% CI= 1.17 to 1.98; p= 0.002). Conclusion: Overweight and obesity increase the risk of pre-menopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a global pandemic and affects all ages, even newborns. Until March 2021, there were 127 million cases of COVID-19 worldwide. In Indonesia, there were almost 1.5 million cases. The main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever and cough, simple laboratory tests such as measuring the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are also included in the EWS (early warning score) so that they can be used to diagnose COVID-19 with a cut-off limit value of 3.13. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of NLR as a predictor of diagnosis in pediatric patients confirmed by RT-PCR Swab examination at Dr. Oen Kandang Sapi Hospital, Solo, Surakarta. Subjects and Method: A diagnostic test study that assessed the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of the NLR value as a predictor of COVID-19 diagnosis in pediatric patients confirmed by RT-PCR Swab examination at the time level of March 2020 - March 2021. Data were taken from electronic medical records of inpatients and sampling was done by consecutive admission sampling. Results: A total of 153 study subjects with 34 PCR (+) patients and 119 PCR (-) patients. The characteristics of the study sample were seen from gender, age, symptoms, chest x-ray and patient outcomes. The NLR cutoff limit value for pediatric COVID-19 patients is 1,625 with an AUC (area under curve) of 0.504. The NLR value of 1.625 has a sensitivity of 0.588 (58.8%) and a specificity of 0.513 (51.3%). The PPV (positive predictive value) was 0.256 (25.6%), the NPV (negative predictive value) was 0.813 (81.3%), the PPR (positive predictive ratio) was 1.207 and the NPR (negative predictive ratio) result was 0.803. Conclusion: The NLR cutoff value of 1,625 with a sensitivity of 58.8% cannot be used as a predictor of COVID-19 diagnosis in pediatric patients at Dr. Oen Kandang Sapi Hospital, Solo, Surakarta.

Abstract

Background: Goal 3 of Global commitment of 2015-2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program is to ensure a healthy life and to promote well-being for all people at all ages in the 2nd achievement indicator targeting by 2030. It is hoped to end infant and under-five mortality that can be avoided, with all countries trying to reduce the Neonatal Mortality Rate to at least 12 per 1,000 KH and the Toddler Mortality Rate by 25 per 1,000 KH. Infant mortality cases caused by nutritional factors reached 53%. Several diseases that arise due to malnutrition include pneumonia (13.2%), diarrhea (17.2%) and perinatal problems (36%). Breast milk is the best food for babies and has the right balance of nutrients, is bioavailable, easy to digest, protects babies from disease, and has anti-inflammatory properties. This study aims to analyze the difference in the volume of breast milk before and after the mother received oxytocin massage with the Effleurage technique and a combination of innovative massage tools. Subjects and Method: This research is a quasi experiment. The study was conducted in the City of Kediri from August to September 2020. The sample used was post partum women on days 4 to 10 using simple random sampling technique. The dependent variable is the volume of breast milk. The independent variable is the type of oxytocin massage treatment with effleurage technique, and the combination of oxytocin massage with efflurage technique and innovative massage tools. Data analysis per treatment and control groups used the one-way annova test with 95% CI. Results: There was no difference in the mean volume of breast milk in mothers who received lactation massage using the innovative massage method (Mean= 21.65; SD= 15.43; p= 0.994), conventional Efflurage massage (Mean= 22.15; SD= 15.43; p= 0.330), and in control group (Mean= 20.50; SD= 15.43; p=0.386). Conclusion: There was no difference in the mean volume of breast milk in each group and this result was not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea or gastroenteritis is a condition as watery bowel movements more than three times a day for two consecutive days, which may or may not be related to pathological conditions. Diarrhea can occur in all age groups, both toddlers, children and adults with various social groups. Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death in children under five years and almost 1.7 billion cases of diarrhea occur in children with a mortality rate of around 525,000. This study aims to describe the application of knowledge and practice of nursing care in children with diarrhea with the problem of risk of hypovolemia due to active fluid loss. Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted at the Pontianak Level II Government Hospital, for 2 weeks. The sample used in this study were 4 key informants from 6 planned respondents and 3 triangulated informants. The key informants are nurses who work in the child care room, while the 3 triangulation informants are the client's family. The study variables were optimizing nursing interventions and diarrhea in children. Data collection was carried out by structured and direct interviews using a tape recorder before it was analyzed. Results: This study identified several themes such as meeting fluid needs, decreasing body tempera­ture, and preventing damage to skin integrity, but in the case of diarrhea in children, meeting fluid needs is the nurse's main intervention that must be done in overcoming hypovolemia without forgetting the involvement of parents. Conclusion: Meeting fluid needs is a nurse's top priority in providing nursing care to diarrhea patients to prevent hypovolemia.
