Abstract

Introduction: Medical students are experiencing uncertainty in finding the appropriate help for their mental health problems. When they finally decide to seek help, some of them are already in a mental crisis. The suitable indicator for early identification of mental disorder is mental health literacy. Mental health literacy also functions as a tool to decrease stigma towards people with mental illness and to improve help-seeking behavior. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of mental health literacy to help-seeking behavior and to describe mental health literacy and help-seeking behavior of the medical students.Methods: The study design was observational analytical. Participants filled demographic data and answered questionnaire via an online file sharing platform. The questionnaires used in this study were Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) and Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Short Form (ATSPPH-SF). The influence of mental health literacy to help-seeking behavior was analyzed using logistic regression analysis.  Results: The respondents were 60 medical students. No differences of literacy and attitude were found across the admission years. Overall, the students had good literacy and attitude. Students showed lower scores in the MHLS attributes containing ideas about self-treatments, confidentiality, social distance, and reliance on self. Being literate in the total score of MHLS did not influence on having a good attitude in ATSPPH-SF (p=0.303). Only by being literate in attitudes that promote recognition and help-seeking, the students showed a good attitude in ATSPPH-SF (p-value=0.027).  Conclusion: There was no influence on mental health literacy to help-seeking behavior.

Abstract

Introduction: Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is known as an antibacterial agent. Streptococcus pyogenes is the most common bacterial cause of pharyngitis in children and adults. Over the years, antibiotic resistance case is increasing. Therefore, further research of other substances to find an bactericidal or bacteriostatic agent is needed. The aim of this study is to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of Z. officinale var. rubrum against S. pyogenes. Methods: Serial dilution test of red ginger extract in Mueller hinton broth (8 concentrations of red ginger extract : 80%, 40%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2,5%, 1,25%, and 0,625%) and positive control (1 ml bacterial suspension in Mueller hinton broth) was used to determine MIC. MBC was determined by culturing solutions from the previous dilution test into blood agar plate.lResults: MIC of red ginger extract against S. pyogenes could not be determined because the color of red ginger extract affected the turbidity of the dilution test result. MBC of red ginger extract against S. pyogenes was at concentration 20% of red ginger extract.Conclusion: Z. officinale var. rubrum showed antibacterial activity against S. pyogenes.

Abstract

Introduction: Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. The highest incidence is among adults aged 30 – 60 years with the prevalence of 10/100.000 population. Diagnosis of achalasia is based on symptoms and upper endoscopy, barium esophagogram, and esophageal manometry. Pneumatic Balloon Dilation (PBD) is one of the treatment options, whether it is fluoroscopy-guided or direct endoscopy guided. This study aims to analyze the effect of PBD on the changes of Eckardt score among achalasia patients.Methods: An analytical observational study with a retrospective and prospective design was conducted on 18 achalasia patients who performed PBD at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Data were then analyzed using t-test. Results: The mean age was 47.8±12.5 years, and the mean achalasia duration was 18.3±5.9 months. There were no differences of achalasia cases between men and women. The mean body weight in the pre and post PBD was 50.9±6.2 vs 53.1±6.5 kg with delta 2.19±1.88 (p <0.0001). The mean BMI in the pre and post PBD was 20.2±2.2 vs 21.1±2.5 kb/m2 with delta 0.89±0.78 (p <0.0001). In addition, the mean Eckardt score in the pre and post PBD was 10.17±1.47 vs 2.5±0.86 (p <0.0001). There were 3 patients with Eckardt score of 4 after PBD and no weight loss after one-month evaluation. Conclusion: There was a significant difference of Eckardt score before and after PBD. The improvement of the Eckardt scores led to the change of weight and body mass index among achalasia patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Benign vocal fold lesions reduce the efficiency of sound production. Reports of dysphonia cases caused by vocal principles in Indonesia are still very limited. This study aimed to determine incidence and prevalence of benign vocal fold lesions, namely vocal cord nodules, cysts, and polyps.Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted using patient’s medical record of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Outpatient Unit. Dysphonia patients with benign vocal cord abnormalities were identified. The data analyzed using descriptive analytic.Results: There were 20 patients with benign vocal fold lesions, consisting of 13 patients (65%) with nodules, 3 patients (15%) with polyps, and 4 patients (20%) with cysts. The ratio of male and female patients was 1: 1. Most patients belonged to age group of 20-59 years (12 patients; 60%). In term of occupation, most patients belonged to group III, which is a group of workers who are not professional voice users (12 patients; 60%). Most vocal fold lesions were found in the 1/3 of bilateral anterior (17 patients; 85%). Most therapy was non-operative in 13 patients (65%). Conclusion: Benign vocal fold lesions, including vocal cord nodules, polyps, and cysts, are found in all patients with dysphonic complaints. The prevalence of dysphonia symptoms is quite high every year, but only a small portion are diagnosed with benign vocal cord lesion.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health global issue including extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). The one of manifestation of EPTB is peritoneal TB that constitutes 2% from all cases of pulmonary TB around the world. The diagnosis of peritoneal TB is quite challenging because many cases have symptom that similar to other diseases and those often necessary need further specific examinations such as PCR, culture and radiologic examination. We reported a case report of peritoneal tuberculosis in woman with ascites.

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) becomes primary disease causing morbidity and mortality in developed country. Chronic CAD disease progress over years or decades and becomes a significant health burden worldwide. Most CAD cases occur in individuals with at least one risk factor. Thus, risk modification and regular exercise are part of coronary artery disease management to reduce disease progression. Regular exercise training is an intense technique to expand the threshold of angina-free activity levels in stable disease conditions when symptomatic CAD has developed. This review will explain the current updates in the risk management and exercise that can be used to improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the severity progression of the disease.
