Abstract

Background: The negative effect of low hemoglobin levels for adolescents can reduce intelligence, learning achievement, mental motor development, inhibition of optimal height growth and repro­ductive health. Dysmenorrhea is pain or discomfort that occurs in the abdomen during menstruation as a result of prostaglandin secretion which can increase uterine contractions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Remakuda juice on an increase in hemoglobin and a decrease in the intensity of dysmenorrhea in female adolescents. Subjects and Method: An experimental study with no control group was conducted at Junior High School I Tembelang, Jombang, East Java, in September 2021. A total of 60 female adolescents was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variables were hemoglobin level and dysmenorrhea. The independent variable was Remakuda juice. Dysmenorrhea was measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Wong Baker Pain Rating Scale. Hemoglobin level was measured by digital haemometer. The data were analyzed using t-test. Results: Hemoglobin levels after intervention (Mean= 2.00; SD= 0.00) were higher than before (Mean= 1.73; SD= 0.45), with p= 0.010. Dysmenorrhea after intervention was lower (Mean= 1.43; SD= 0.59) than before (Mean= 2.70; SD= 0.65), with p<0.001. Canclusion: Remakuda juice can increase hemoglobin levels and reduce dysmenorrhea in female adolescent.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among women continues to increase every year. Overweight and obesity can lead to complications in pregnancy such as Excessive gesta­tional weight gain (EGWG) and Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Physical activity inter­vention is an option to prevent EGWG and GDM. The study aims to analyze the effects of physical activity interventions in reducing EGWG and GDM. Subjects and Method: The study used a meta-analysis study design by following PRISMA guidelines. The research question was formulated in PICO.  The population was pregnant women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of > 25 kg/m2. The intervention used was measured physical acti­vity. The comparison was without measured physical activity. The outcomes were EGWG and GDM. Article search was carried out through the databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus Database, and PEDro which was published from 2011 to 2020. The article search used the following keywords: "pregnancy" OR "pregnant woman" AND "obese" OR "overweight" AND "excessive gestational weight gain" OR "gestational weight gain" OR "weight gain" AND "gestatio­nal diabetes mellitus" OR "gestational diabetes" AND "exercise " OR "antenatal exercise" OR "physical activity". Articles that met the criteria were full-text articles with a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) study design. The assessment of the quality of the study was conducted with Cochrane Collaboration's Tool for Assessing Risk of Bias and the articles were subsequently analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. Results: A total of 10 articles analyzed in this study came from Asian, European, Australian, and American countries with a total sample of 2,086. The results of the meta-analysis showed that overweight and obese pregnant women who performed measured physical activity did not experience weight changes compared to those who did not engage in physical activity (SMD= 0.03; 95% CI= 0.17 to 0.73; p=0.770).  However, overweight and obese pregnant women who do measured physical activity experience changes in fasting sugar levels compared to those who did not do measured physical activity (SMD= 0. 20; CI95%= 0.30 to 0.10; p=0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study state that physical activity interventions are effective in reducing GDM but not for EGWG in overweight and obese pregnant women. Keywords: physical activity, excessive gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes mellitus, overweight and obese pregnant women, meta-analysis. Correspondence: Hapsari Cahyaningrum.

Abstract

Background: Combined oral contraceptives are a form of contraception that are considered safe and effective for some women, but this does not rule out the possibility that combined oral contra­ceptives contribute to adverse health effects. Several epidemiological studies have shown that oral contraceptives have adverse effects on women's health. The use of contraceptive pills containing the hormones estrogen and progesterone can cause an increase in blood pressure and also stroke if used continuously. The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of the risk of using combined oral contraceptives on the incidence of hypertension and stroke with a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis using PRISMA flowchart diagram guidelines. The article search process was carried out between 2007-2022 using 3 databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The keywords used in the data­base search were “oral contraceptive” OR “contraceptive pills” OR “combined oral contra­cep­tive” AND “hypertension” OR “blood pressure” AND “stroke” AND “women of reproductive age”. The inclusion criteria for full text articles using case control observational methods, articles using English, and articles using multivariate analysis with adjusted Odds Ratio results. Articles that have met the requirements are analyzed using the RevMan 5.3 application. Results: A total of 14 articles with case-control study designs originating from China, Ethiopia, the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands were carried out in a meta-analysis in this study. Meta-analysis of 7 articles showed that the effect of using combined oral contraceptives was to increase the incidence of hypertension 1.44 times compared to those who did not use combined oral con­traceptives (aOR= 1.44; 95% CI= 1.12 to 1.84; p= 0.004). Meanwhile, 7 articles showed that the effect of using combined oral contraceptives was to increase the incidence of stroke by 2.08 times compared to those who did not use combined oral contraceptives (aOR= 2.08; 95% CI= 1.48 to 2.92; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Combined oral contraceptives increase the risk of hypertension and stroke. Keywords: combined oral contraceptives, hypertension, stroke, meta-analysis Correspondence:Ulul Azmi Zuhaira.

Abstract

Background: There are many factors that influence menstrual patterns to become irre­gular, including stress and obesity. Menstrual cycle irregularities can have a serious impact on women's health, which will affect the metabolic, fertility, sexual and reproductive systems. This study aims to analyze the influence of obesity and stress on menstrual cycle disorders with a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This study is a syste­matic study and meta-analysis, with the follow­ing PICO, Population= women of childbearing age. Intervention= obesity and stress. Compa­rison = not obese and not stressed. Outcome = disruption of the menstrual cycle. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The keywords used are "menstrual disorder and obesity and stress", "obesity and menstrual irregularity", "obesity OR stress AND menstrual irregularity OR cross sectional study". The articles included in this study are full text articles with a cross sectional study design. Articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: Meta-analysis of 8 observational studies showed that obese women were 4 times more likely to have menstrual cycle disorders than normal weight (aOR= 4.19; 95% CI= 1.99 to 8.84; p= 0.002). Meta-analysis of 6 observa­tional studies showed that women with stress had a risk of experiencing menstrual cycle dis­orders 1.28 times compared to women who did not experience stress (aOR= 1.28; 95% CI= 1.13 to 1.45; p = 0.001).

Abstract

Background: The rationale of the study is to establish the time duration of recovery of disturbed sugar values and NST parameters following steroid administration and which drug has a lesser rate of hyperglycemia and lesser disturbance of DFMC and NST parameters, so as to advocate better drugs for fetal lung maturity. This study aims to compare the changes in maternal serum glucose levels, daily fetal movement count, NST parameters, and umbilical artery doppler following Betamethasone and Dexamethasone administration in antenatal women. Subjects and Method: The study design is a prospective observational cohort study. 100 pregnant patients, were recruited into 2 equal groups who received Betamethasone and Dexamethasone in Obstetrics & Gynaecology department, MLN Medical College, Prayagraj. The independent variables are Age, Gravidity, and BMI while the dependent variables are postprandial blood sugar values, Daily Fetal Movement Count, Fetal Heart Rate, Non-Stress Test Parameters, and Doppler Flow Veloci- metry of the Umbilical artery. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test, while, for continuous variables T-test was used. Study instruments include Glucometer, Cardiotocography, and Ultrasound. Results: Significant changes in the glycemic profile and fetal movements were noted. The mean ± SD glucose rise after 24 hrs in Group A (Mean= 140.10; SD= 35.90) and group B (Mean= 113.26; SD= 27.90), with p<0.001. 54% and 24% women perceived reduced fetal movements (p = 0.002) while 14% and 12% women had reduced variability on NST (p = 0.766) in Group A and Group B respectively, with 66.6% and 85.71% showing reduced flow on Doppler. Conclusion: Antenatal Betamethasone as well as Dexamethasone administration causes significant changes in maternal hyperglycemia, FHR, and DFMC at 24hrs while changes were non-significant in NST parameters and Doppler. Maternal hyperglycemia resolved within 72hrs with a resolution of decreased fetal movement perception. Umbilical artery flow decreased 24 hrs following steroid administration with more profound changes with betamethasone.
