Abstract

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of undergraduate students' stress before COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia was 36.7-71.6%, where undergraduate students' age was classified as the age group for the onset of eating disorders. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students must continue their studies. However, modifications of daily routines in pandemic have a negative effect on mental health, increase negative stress (distress), and it could increase the incidence of eating disorders symptoms. AIMS:  The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between stress level in undergraduate student and the risk of eating disorder they might have during the COVID-19 Pandemic. METHOD: This study used cross sectional study design and conducted on June 2021. The subjects were 110 active students who studied in Faculty of Medicine Diponegoro University who was chosen using consecutive sampling technique. The Perceived Stress Scale-10 questionnaire was used to measure the students’ stress level for the past month and the Eating Attitude Test-26 questionnaire was used to determine the students' risk of having an eating disoder. Both questionnaires were selected because it has been proven as reliable questionnaires with high sensitivity and specificity (Cronbach's alpha >0.7). RESULT:  The result showed that out of 110 students who have been subjects of this study, 25,5% of respondents experienced low stress, 68,2% of respondents experienced moderate stress, and 6,4% of respondents experienced high stress. It also showed that 4,5% of respondents have the risk of having an eating disorder. CONCLUSION: There is a significant correlation (p=0,005) between the stress level and risk of eating disorder with very weak positive relationship direction (r=0,097).

Abstract

BACKGROUND: On February 19th, 2021, City of Semarang recorded 164 death cases of probable COVID-19. A study of patients who died from COVID-19 found that the death cases occured mostly in patients with comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, renal disease, chronic lung disease, and malignancy. The definitions of probable COVID-19 by WHO is a suspected case with radiological features leading to COVID-19 infection. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to prove pneumoniae, chronic lung disease, heart disease, hypertension, DM, renal disease, and malignancy as risk factors of mortality in probable COVID-19 patients. METHOD: This study used analytic observational design with  cross-sectional study approach. Consecutive sampling technique was used with minimum sample of 57 probable COVID-19 medical records. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS program with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. RESULT:  The majority of probable COVID-19 patients died with a number of 65 subjects (91,5%), while the probable COVID-19 patients that survived are only 6 subjects (8,5%). Risk factors like pneumoniae (p=0,151; PR=0,9; 95%CI[0,78-1,03]), chronic lung disease (p=0,764; PR=1,09; 95%CI[1,02-1,18]), heart disease (p=0,591; PR=1,03; 95%CI[0,88-1.20]), hypertension (p=0,254; PR=1,08; 95%CI[0,95-1,23]), DM (p=0,361 PR=1,06; 95%CI[0,93-1,21]), renal disease (p=0,523; PR=1,10; 95%CI[1,02-1,19]), and malignancy (p=0,523; PR=1,10; 95%CI[1,02-1,19]) have not been proven to be risk factors for death in patients probable of COVID-19 at dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang. CONCLUSION: Pneumoniae, chronic lung disease, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, and malignancy have not been proven to be risk factors for death in patients probable of COVID-19 at dr.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori is classified as a grade 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Identification of Helicobacter pylori infection is crucial for the prevention of malignancy. Immunohistochemistry is more specific and sensitive than modified Giemsa because it based on the antigen- antibody binding so it can exclude other organisms. However, it can be expressed in all species of Helicobacter genus. OBJECTIVE: To compare the identification methods of Helicobacter spp in stomach biopsy between modified Giemsa and immunohistochemistry. METHOD: This research was a cross-sectional study. There were 64 biopsies taken by simple random sampling. They consisted of 32 positive and 32 negative Helicobacter spp based on the interpretation of modified Giemsa. Statistical analysis using x2 test. RESULT: The number of atypical Helicobacter spp was 42.%. The number of samples that received Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) therapy was 93.75%. Helicobacter spp was positive in 31 samples and negative in 33 samples based on the interpretation of immunohistochemistry staining. There was no significant difference (p=0.617) between the identification results of Helicobacter spp using immunohistochemistry compared to the Modified Giemsa at both 400x and 1000x magnification. CONCLUSION: Modified Giemsa is still reliable for identifying Helicobacter spp, especially in classical form, compared to immunohistochemistry. Due to the administration of PPI, there are a lot of cases with atypical form of Helicobacter spp which can be differentiated into coccoid form and intraepithelial located. Immunohistochemistry staining is useful in identify these cases.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Treated ICU patients may experience consciousness deterioration which leads to loss of cough response and increase of saliva and secretions production which blocks the airway. Therefore, patients need to receive suctioning or mucus suctioning to clear the airway. The success of such procedure can be supervised by measuring the patient's oxygen saturation level before and after the procedure. AIMS:  The objection of this research was to analyze the effect of suctioning to oxygen saturation improvement towards ICU patients in Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes Regional Public Hospital Kupang. METHOD: The research was conducted from November to December 2022 in a quantitative form with a pre-experimental layout and one-group pre-posttest design. It involved 30 respondents with accidental sampling technique. The instruments used were suction observation sheets and the oximeter. The gained data were then analyzed using SPSS with the Mc Nemar test. RESULT:  The results showed that the average value of the patient’s oxygen saturation pre-suctioning was 93.73% whilst post-suctioning was 96.23%. The statistical test results show the value of ρ = 0.002, which means that there is an effect of suctioning to oxygen saturation improvement towards ICU patients in Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes Regional Public Hospital Kupang. CONCLUSION: Suctioning has an effect to improve the oxygen saturation towards ICU patients in Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes Hospital Regional Public Hospital Kupang.

Abstract

BACKGROUND : Knee osteoarthritis causes sore, joint stilted, progressive deformity and functional encroachment. The current therapeutic focus on rectifying function and assuaging symptoms, especially pain. There are two types of laser therapy, namely Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT). High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is a high-intensity laser radiation with photochemical, photothermal, and photomechanical action possess many therapeutic steads including analgesic, anti-edematous, and biostimulating effects. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of HILT with LLLT on functional enhancement in knee osteoarthritis assessed by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). AIMS :  To compare the effectiveness of HILT with LLLT on functional enhancement in patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHOD : This research is a quasi-experimental  pre-test and post-test with controlled group design. There were 27 subjects of knee osteoarthritis patients who were divided into 2 treatment groups, the first treatment group admit HILT therapy (14 patients) and the second treatment group admit LLLT therapy (13 patients). Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. RESULT :  There was a significant difference in the mean value of functional improvement as measured by KOOS before and after treatment in each group (p < 0.001) and there was a significant difference in the mean value of KOOS in the two groups (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION : The administration of HILT has shown significant escalation of functional improvement compared to the administration of LLLT in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dyspareunia is persistent or recurrent pain during sexual intercourse. Perineal laceration, spontaneous or episiotomy, is one of the most common causes. Perineal lacerations that occur must be treated through suturing. Chromic catgut is a natural thread that is often used in medical practice, but this thread have a higher inflammatory response compared to Rapide Polyglactin 910. AIMS: To analyze the difference in the incidence of dyspareunia in primipara with 2nd degree perineal lacerations sutured with Rapide Polyglactin 910 and Chromic catgut threads METHOD: True experimental research with randomized controlled trial-single blinded method. The research was conducted at dr. Kariadi Semarang, RA Kartini Hospital and dr. Soeselo from August 2022 to February 2023. The research subjects were primipara with 2nd degree perineal lacerations which were divided into 2 groups, namely 45 subjects in the Chromic catgut group and 45 subjects in the Rapide Polyglactin 910 group. Evaluation of dyspareunia after 3 months was carried out using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) RESULT:  Subjects sutured using Chromic catgut had a 2.7 times greater risk of experiencing dyspareunia when compared to using Rapide Polyglactin 910 (OR=2.7; 95% CI=1.1-6.6). A significant confounding factor was found, namely the act of episiotomy (p=0.047; OR=9.56; 95% CI=1.86 - 48.97). After controlling for these variables, the subjects who were sewn using Chromic had a significant risk (p=0.002, OR=5.39; 95% CI=1.76-16.50) CONCLUSION: Subjects with Chromic catgut have a higher risk of experiencing dyspareunia than using Rapide Polyglactin 910 threads after 3 months of suturing.

Abstract

Background: Electrocardiography (ECG) is an essential objective diagnosis tool, specifically for the elderly who are about to undergo surgery. From the examination results, it is possible to determine the presence of a heart condition that could impair the surgical outcome. Furthermore, the examination is slightly influenced by the subjectivity of observers. Purpose: To evaluate the inter-observer agreement on the reader of a 12-lead ECG on elderly patients subjected to elective surgery. Method: A consequential ECG examination was conducted on elderly patients who underwent elective surgery at Dr. Kariadi Hospital  Semarang between July and November 2021. Two junior internist observers were independently involved in reading the ECG results in different places. The inter-observer reliability analysis used kappa statistics to determine consistency between observers. Result: Analysis was carried out on 193 patients aged  60-87 years old, with a prevalence of abnormal ECG was 33.7%. Kappa Conformity Value was 0.864 (95 % CI: 0.790-0.938,  p<0.001). Conclusion: The value of agreement between junior internists in ECG interpretation among elderly surgical patients is good (kappa value  >0.8). Even though the observers are junior internist, the result of the interpretation with a high kappa is considered to have reliable validity.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal problem and a major cause of worldwide disability causing increased health costs and indirect costs associated with reduced or lost productivity. One of the therapeutic management of LBP is Triamcinolone trigger point injection. Until now, research on the effect of Triamcinolone trigger point injection on changes in TNF-α levels and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores in Non-Specific LBP patients is still limited. Objective: To analyze the effect of Triamcinolone trigger point injection on changes in TNF-α levels and ODI scores before and after Triamcinolone trigger point injection in Non-Specific LBP patients. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental analytic observational study with a pre and post-test group design approach. Subjects were diagnosed with Non-Specific LBP who had met the inclusion criteria (acute pain less than 3 months, patient age 30-55 years, moderate-severe pain intensity, had never received a Triamcinolone trigger point injection) with the exclusion criteria patients experiencing severe pain. not only caused by NPB. The study subjects were checked for TNF-α levels and ODI scores before and after the Triamcinolone trigger point injection. Then a paired T-test was carried out. Results: During the study period September - November 2022 at the Neurology Outpatient Polyclinic, RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang obtained 32 subjects. There was a significant difference between changes in TNF-α levels before and after Triamcinolone trigger point injection (p=0.000). There was a significant difference in ODI scores before and after the Triamcinolone trigger point injection (p=0.000). There was no significant relationship between the risk factors for gender, occupation, BMI, physiotherapy, and changes in TNF-α levels with changes in the ODI score. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in changes in TNF-α levels and ODI scores before and after Triamcinolone trigger point injection.

Abstract

Background: Several risk factors influence the occurrence of peripheral vertigo, including advanced age, gender, and chronic metabolic diseases. This disease is not widely recorded in primary care due to the need for detection with simple examinations. Research on the association of several risk factors has yet to be reported. Objectives: To examine the relationship between age, gender, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), and hypertension as risk factors for peripheral vertigo. Methods: This study is a case-control study that used consecutive sampling. The study sample consisted of 39 people: 19 in the case group and 20 in the control group. Data were obtained from 2 health centers and Diponegoro National Hospital, Semarang City. The data were obtained from history taking and physical examinations such as the Gans Sensory Organization Performance Test (SOP), past pointing test, and dysdiadokokinesia test. DM2 disease and hypertension were gathered from medical records. Data analysis used univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square, and logistic regression multivariate analysis. Results:  Statistical test results concluded that hypertension is a risk factor for peripheral vertigo (p = 0.008; OR = 6.964; 95%CI = 1.657 - 29.263). Whereas age, gender, and DM2 were not risk factors, with p-values of 0.187, 0.378, and 0.417, respectively. Conclusion: The significant risk factor associated with the occurrence of peripheral vertigo was hypertension by 6.964 times.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of gastric perforation gives a high mortality outcome. The second most common cause of gastric perforation is long-term use of NSAIDs. In cases of arthritis during the COVID-19 pandemic, a conservative therapeutic approach and administration of NSAIDs are preferred. Due to this, researchers want to know the factors affecting gastric perforation cause by NSAIDs. Method: An analytic descriptive study with a retrospective cohort study design, using electronic medical records of patients at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang from January 2020 - December 2022. Data collected was in the form of demographics, diagnoses, procedures, preoperative conditions, scoring system, and outcome. Results: PULP score, one of prognostic factor, has a good level of significance compared to other scoring systems in determining the prognostic mortality of patients with gastric perforation. The combination of variables between the type of NSAIDs and the type of arthritis has a direct correlation with a positive inter-variable power of 86.7% and a significance of 0.049 on patient outcome. Conclusion: NSAIDs pose a risk of gastric perforation in long-term use. tNSAIDs carry a higher risk inducing gastric perforation than selective NSAIDs.
