Abstract

Obesity is a worldwide problem that has been steadily increasing even in developing countries. Obesity has been linked to various types of cancer, one of which is breast cancer. Breast cancer has been classified into various types based on gene and hormone receptor expressions, which offered new insights to therapies and prognoses. We conducted a case-control study using 42 breast cancer patients and 43 healthy women, all of which are older than 55 years of age and have experienced menopause, and for case subjects, additional immunohistochemistry profiles have been provided. Data were collected by interviews and medical records. For data analysis, we used Pearson’s Chi-Square test and Fisher’s Exact test. Results showed that high BMI is significantly associated with breast cancer, and risk is elevated (p < 0.05, OR = 1.263, 95% CI = 1.007-1.583). No significant association with molecular subtypes was observed.

Abstract

Abstract. The aging process occurs in all parts of the body including the face. One of the factors that can influence this process is free radicals which can be suppressed by antioxidants. Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are known to contain high antioxidant compounds. This research was conducted to determine the anti-aging activity of grape ethanol extract (V. vinifera) in clay mask preparations. Grape ethanol extract obtained by maceration and formulated in clay mask dosage form with 4 concentrations namely FI (2.5%), FII (5%), FIII (7.5%) and F0 as a control. A total of 12 volunteers who met the inclusion criteria were applied to the mask every week for 4 weeks and evaluated the water content, smoothness, large pores, many blemishes and facial skin wrinkles before and after application in each treatment. Mask stability was evaluated for 12 weeks at room temperature. Data were analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis and Friedman tests. After 4 weeks of treatment, the highest changes including humidity (12.63%), pore size (50%), blemishes (57.32%) and wrinkles (75.69%) were found in FIII. While changes in skin smoothness were found in FII by 34.04%. There was a significant moisture difference between F0-FIII (p <0.05), a significant difference in evenness between F0-FI, F0-FII and F0-FIII (p <0.05), a significant difference in spots between F0-FIII (p < 0.05) and significant differences in wrinkles between F0-FIII (p <0.05). Grape ethanol extract in clay mask preparations has anti-aging activity.

Abstract

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is the narrowing of peripheral blood vessels which prevalence is high in the elders. In 2010, it was estimated that 202 million people were suffering from PAD, most of which are in developing countries, especially the Southeast Asia region. Inflammation markers such as leukocyte and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) can predict the incidence of PAD but their use in determining prognosis remains unclear. Complications in PAD include amputation, increased cardiovascular events, and even death. Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between leukocyte and CRP level on complications in PAD, in the forms of amputation, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Methods: This is a meta analysis study which uses online literature sourced from Pubmed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. Results: Based on the data analysis, there is a significant relationship between CRP with the incidence of amputation (HR 1.24, 95%CI: 1.02-1.49, p=0.03) and hs-CRP with cardiovascular events (HR 1.33, 95%CI: 1.10-1.60, p=0.003). Leukocyte on the other hand shows no significant relationship with the incidence of amputation (OR 1.10, 95%CI: 0.98-1.23, p=0.10) and mortality (OR 1.14, 95%CI: 0.97-1.35, p=0.12)

Abstract

Dermatophytosis is a superficial skin infection caused by dermatophytes that infected keratinous skin tissue, dermatophytes form molecules that bind to keratin as a source of nutrients in the formation of colonization. Dermatophytes that cause dermatophytosis are Tricophyton sp, Epidermophyton sp and Microsporum sp. To find out the Profile of dermatophytes in patients with dermatophytosis in the Polyclinic of Dermatology and Venerology Dr. Ferdinand Lumbantobing Sibolga in 2019 conducted observational research with cross sectional design. The sample of this study were 75 patients who were new patients and had not used antifungal drugs. This sample is then examined by examination of KOH and cultured and then identified by Scotch-tape Preparation in a microscope. The prevalence of dermatophytosis in this study was 23% of skin cases. The majority of dermatophytosis patients are women (52%), the most age group is 46-65 years (30.7%) and is most often found in housewives (24%). The dermatophytes species found were Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis with the most species Trichophyton rubrum (37.3%), which was then followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (16%). Tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea capitis, tinea pedis and tinea unguinum are dermatophytosis cases that were found in this study. It can be concluded that Trichophyton rubrum is the most common cause of dermatophytosis in Dr. Ferdinand Lumbantobing Sibolga with Tinea corporis is the most classified classification of dermatophytosis.

Abstract

Hemorrhagic stroke is a type of stroke that causes more deaths than ischemic stroke. The prognosis of hemorrhagic stroke patients can be determined with ICH Score. ICH score has a value range of 0-6. The variables of ICH Score are GCS score (0-2), bleeding volume (0-1), intraventricular bleeding (0-1), infratentorial origin (0-1), and age (0-1). Aim: This meta-analysis study aims to determine the relationship between ICH Score and 30-day mortality rate in hemorrhagic stroke patients. Methods: This meta-analysis study uses online literature sourced from Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar. Result: Based on data analysis, there is a significant relationship between the ICH Score and the mortality rate in hemorrhagic stroke patients (OR 18.04, 95% CI: 10.65; 30.55). Analysis of the ICH Score accuracy found that the ICH Score had high accuracy to predict the mortality of hemorrhagic stroke patients (AUC 0.827, 95% CI: 0.796; 0.858). Conclusion: ICH Score has a significant relationship with the 30-day mortality rate in hemorrhagic stroke patients and has high accuracy for predicting mortality in hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Abstract

Diarrhea is a symptom of infection in the intestinal tract with the second death rate in the world in children under five years of age. Risk factors for the incidence of diarrhea in children under five are host factors that increase susceptibility to diarrhea, not giving exclusive breastfeeding (ASI), not giving breastfeeding for 2 years, malnutrition, measles and immunodeficiency. Breastfeeding (ASI) contains the best nutrients that match the needs of the baby and exclusive breastfeeding is carried out from birth to the first six months without any additional food or drink. Several studies have shown that the immunity content of breastfeeding is able to coat the gastrointestinal mucosa and protect the digestive tract from incoming pathogens. The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea in children aged 6-24 months at Puskesmas Aek Parombunan, Sibolga Selatan in 2019. The research design used was observational analytic cross-sectional with the criteria for the research sample of toddlers aged 6-24 months. The sampling technique in this study used total sampling. The research instrument was a medical record and data analysis used the chi-square test. Based on the results of the study, there was a relation between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea.
