Abstract

Background: With the COVID-19 pandemic that’s currently happening, the Indonesian government made a policy called Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) to prevent the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. As a result of this new policy there was a change in the lives of Indonesians, like restrictions and a decrease in their social activities. The elderly are individuals who experiences a decline in various body function, which causes decreased social activities, and due to the reduction of their social activities, they’re potentially to experience depression due to feeling isolated and lonely. With this PSBB policy, the elderly whose social activities have already decreased, will potentially experience a more and massive reduction in their activities, and because of that the potential for depression will likely to increase.Objective: To determine the correlation between social activity level with depression in elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic.METHOD: The design of this research is observational analysis using a cross sectional method. The data were collected using the Australian Community Participation Questionnaire (ACPQ) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Statistical analysis test used in this research was Spearman correlation test.RESULTS: Social activities of the elderly in the moderate category were 47.2% and elderly who are not depressed were 81,5%. The results from the Spearman test were found to have a significant correlation between the two variables, p value = < 0.05. The correlation level from the test was -0.335 which indicates a low correlation level.CONCLUSION: There is a significant correlation that has a negative value, so it can be concluded that if social activity level is high, then the incidence of depression is low or non-existent.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the abnormalities in the prostate gland is prostate adenocarcinoma. Prostate adenocarcinoma expresses tumor antigen in the form of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) which will then be recognized by the immune system. The immune system then responds by infiltrating the tumor tissue. Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) are defined as the infiltration of lymphocytes into the tumor microenvironment. T lymphocytes have a role in recognizing and killing tumor cells. The Gleason grading system together with serum PSA assessment and clinical staging are key in determining appropriate therapy and prognosis in prostate adenocarcinoma. The Gleason grading system is used to assess the degrees of glandular differentiation in prostate adenocarcinoma. An increase in the gleason score indicates poor gland differentiation.Purpose: To assess the correlation between the degrees of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) with gleason score in prostate adenocarcinoma.Method: This retrospective study used a correlation analytic method with a cross sectional study design that measured the degrees of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in each gleason score of prostateadenocarcinoma that was observed once at a time. The research samples obtained from the patient's medical records included the gleason score and histopathological slides of the Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) with hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining which were diagnosed as prostate adenocarcinoma according to the inclusion criteria using the non-probability total sampling method at Dr.RamelanNavy’s Central Hospital and analyzed using SPSS version 25 application.Result: Spearman correlation test to assess the correlation between the degree of stromal TILs with gleason score obtained p-value = 0.345 (p >0.05) which indicates there is nocorrelation.Conclusion: There is nocorrelation between high grade stromal TILs and high Gleason Score in prostate adenocarcinoma

Abstract

Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) is the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a disease of global concern(1). Remdesivir and favipiravir are antiviral drugs that are considered COVID19 therapy, as described in Indonesia's 3rd COVID-19 Management Guidelines. They have a similar mechanism, specifically by inhibiting RNA dependent RNA polymerase of the virus (3). Several studies have reported that patients who were treated with these antivirals had a shorter hospital stays (4–6). However, the comparison of efficacy between remdesivir and favipiravir is still unknown.Methods: An observational analytic study was done using a retrospective cohort design. Eighty-eight medical records of COVID-19 patients between January 2021 to August 2021 are collected by consecutive sampling techniques, and this research was carried out at Gotong Royong Hospital Surabaya.Results: Based on the statistical analysis test, there was no clinical improvement difference found, neither patients received remdesivir nor favipiravir based on their clinical manifestations, such as ventilation support and chest X-ray, measured by WHO ordinal scale (p=0,486 ; p>0,05 on the first week and p=0,942 ; p>0,05 on the second week).Conclusions: Improved clinical manifestations were seen in the second week of therapy, either in patients who received remdesivir or favipiravir, but there was no significant effectivity difference between those drugs.

Abstract

Background: An innovative approach in the form of a discussion platform designed to help users deal with health issues related to coronary artery disease. Chatbot platforms allow the collection of users' data, which is analyzed through natural language processing and behavioral analysis to provide each user with a customized solution based on their current situation. The data collected and analyzed is accessible. The platform is developed using chatbot technology. Users can interact with chatbots to generate personal chat data stored on the platform.Conflicting information and sensitivity to Coronary heart disease (CHD) issues hinder effective communication. Recent technological solutions to maintain weight loss are limited. A chatbot would be suitable to support weight loss as it requires no human intervention, is available 24 hours a day, and supports natural communication while maintaining anonymity. CHD is a non-communicable disease with increased mortality in both developed and developing countries. It is a major public health problem worldwide. There are many risk factors for coronary heart disease, divided into primary risk factors (age, gender, genetics) and secondary risk factors (hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity), and other risk factors (stress, alcohol, diet, and nutrition).The health system needs an effective and low-cost way to provide optimal health outcomes. Conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities in the form of a fully automated and self-contained text-based mobile tutoring service. CHD is a serious health problem worldwide with multiple and interrelated causes. At the same time, chatbots are becoming more popular for interacting with users in mobile health apps.Objective: Dokterkit mobile application (available on the Google Play Store) prevents lifestyle-related diseases that are a risk for CHD, which has been considered to be at risk for multiple coronary artery disease (CAD), with the overarching goal of gaining compassion through mobile health improvements Opportunities for the healthcare of the heart. The insights gained in this preview article are used to plan future healthcare systems and design a system embedded with artificial intelligence to advance healthcare, chronic disease prevention, and self-treatment.Results: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in preventing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is to routinely carry out health screenings, make users aware of exercising regularly, and maintain food intake by reducing foods that are high in calories and adding foods that are high in fiber.Conclusion: Using AI in healthcare is associated with preventing CHD, which alters healthy lifestyles. It can also encourage a change in attitude, a high level of user concern for health, and obtain complete health information. Research on artificial intelligence and its use in telemedicine needs to be continued, with clinical trials examining the impact on blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and user engagement and feedback.
