Abstract

Highlights:1. The NLR value can show the role of neuroinflammation in schizophrenic patients.2. Meloxicam as adjuvant therapy can improve negative symptoms and changes in the NLR in schizophrenic patients. AbstractIntroduction: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is a simple and affordable marker of inflammation that has recently been widely used to assess systemic inflammation in psychiatric patients. This study aimed to determine and analyze the effectiveness of meloxicam as adjuvant therapy to improve negative symptoms and changes in the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in schizophrenic patients. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study using a single-blind, pretest–post-test design. Subjects were determined using a purposive sampling technique based on inclusion criteria. This study examined 34 samples and divided them into two groups. The treatment group consisted of 17 subjects who received adjuvant therapy with meloxicam 15 mg/day for 4 weeks and 17 subjects in the control group. Data collection was obtained from medical records, interviews, field notes, positive scale, negative scale, and general psychopathology scale (PANSS) assessment sheets, and blood NLR examinations. Data analysis used SPSS 25.0.Results: The negative subscale PANSS score in the treatment group decreased lower than in the control group, with p-value = 0.640. However, the decrease in NLR values was more significant in the treatment group than in the control group, with p-value = 0.094. There was a decrease in the negative subscale PANSS scores and clinical NLR scores, but it was not statistically significant.Conclusion: Adjuvant therapy with Meloxicam, given once a day for four weeks, had an effect on decreasing the negative subscale PANSS score and NLR scores for schizophrenic patients at Dr. Arif Zainudin Regional Mental Hospital (RSJD), Surakarta, clinically, but it was not statistically significant.

Abstract

Highlights:1. The essence of schizophrenia is the negative symptoms.2. Adding meloxicam can improve the negative symptoms and changes in the NLR in schizophrenic patients. AbstractIntroduction: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that has a negative symptom domain. Negative symptoms are commonly referred to as the essence of schizophrenia. Treatment of negative symptoms is still considered less than optimal. The ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes is one of the markers of inflammation. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine as adjuvant therapy for improving negative symptoms and changes in the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in schizophrenic patients. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study using a single-blind, pretest–post-test design. The subjects were 34 schizophrenic patients who were inpatients at Dr. Arif Zainuddin Regional Mental Hospital (RSJD), Surakarta, from May to July 2020. The subjects were assigned using a purposive sampling technique based on inclusion criteria and received adjuvant N-acetylcysteine therapy at 400 mg/day for 4 weeks. Data collection was obtained from medical records, interviews, field notes, positive scale, negative scale, and general psychopathology scale (PANSS) assessment sheets, and blood NLR examinations. Data analysis used SPSS 25.0.Results: There was a significant difference between the treatment and control groups in reducing negative PANSS subscale measurement after adjuvant N-acetylcysteine treatment. However, there was no significant difference between the control and treatment groups after N-acetylcysteine administration for NLR.Conclusion: The dose of adjuvant therapy N-acetylcysteine given to patients in this study had an effect on decreasing the negative subscale PANSS score.

Abstract

Highlights:1. Borax is still used as a food additive even though it has been banned.2. There was no relationship between age, income, and knowledge of the meatball sellers and the use of borax in Bengkalis.3. The risk factors for the widespread use of borax are still unknown. AbstractIntroduction: Borax is a food additive that can no longer be used. However, there were still many street food vendors who violated this rule. This study aimed to determine the presence or absence of borax in meatballs and the relationship between meatball sellers' characteristics and knowledge of the use of borax in Bengkalis, Riau.   Methods: This was an observational analytic study with cross-sectional collection. This study collected 40 samples of meatballs and meatball sellers in Bengkalis. The sampling technique used purposive sampling by interviewing meatball sellers and filling out the questionnaire on the spot. Data were analyzed by Chi-Square test.Results: This study found that all meatballs contained borax with 36 samples found to have borax content above the standard. This study also found no relationship between characteristics (age, level of knowledge, income) and knowledge of meatball sellers with the use of borax (p > 0.05).Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between borax use and meatball sellers' knowledge and characteristics.

Abstract

Highlights:1. The incidence of MBD tends to be more frequent in older ages and in female patients.2. The radiological appearance of a lesion tends to differ depending on its primary tumor.3. Pathological fracture was present in 55.37% of the cases. AbstractIntroduction: Metastasis commonly occurs in the bone, termed metastatic bone disease (MBD). Early diagnosis and intervention are important to prolong and increase the quality of life. Although conventional radiology is less sensitive for diagnosing this disease, it remains the most cost and time-efficient screening method. This study aimed to describe the radiological profile of patients diagnosed with MBD based on its histopathological result.Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective study using medical records and digital radiological data of patients diagnosed with MBD from 2019-2021 in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. Variables in this study include gender, age, histopathological result, location of metastases, number of lesions, lesion density, and pathological fracture.Results: 51 patients were diagnosed with MBD during the period of the study and sorted into 121 cases based on metastases location. MBD is more frequent in older female patients, where lesion mostly originates from the breast, thyroid, and lungs, with adenocarcinoma as the most common histology. Vertebrae were the most common location of metastases. Most lesion tends to be multiple and osteolytic. However, certain lesions from different primary tumor had different predilections. Pathological fracture was present in 55.37% of cases.Conclusion: MBD needs to be suspected in patients with cancer from the breast, thyroid, and lungs as its incidence is higher. More studies about MBD profiles on a larger scale should be conducted to better represent this disease in the general population.

Abstract

Highlights:1. Dengue viral infection patients were mostly male and aged 17-45 years old.2. Dengue viral infection patients mostly have normal urinalysis results.3. Some dengue viral infection patients can have elevated protein, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, leukocytes esterase, and ketones in the urine. AbstractIntroduction: Dengue viral infection is still a burden in Indonesia. It often causes some kidney complications such as acute renal failure, proteinuria, hematuria, and glomerulonephritis. Urinalysis is an easy and useful examination of kidney complications. This study aimed to discover the most common profile of urinalysis in dengue viral infection.  Methods: This study used a cross-sectional method with medical records data of patients with dengue viral infection in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, in the 2019-2021 period. Purposive sampling techniques were used with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data such as age, gender, dengue viral infection severity level, and dipstick urinalysis results were taken and analyzed using descriptive analysis in SPSS Statistics 25.Results: A total of 276 patients were included. The sample was dominated by male patients (52.9%) and patients aged 17-45 years old (40.2%). Most patients suffered from dengue hemorrhagic fever/DHF (54.3%) followed by dengue fever (45.7%). DHF was categorized into grade I (28.3%), grade II (13.4%), grade III (8.3%), and grade IV (4.3%). Most urinalysis results were normal and followed by increased results of protein, blood/hemoglobin, bilirubin, urobilinogen, leukocytes esterase, and ketones in some patients.Conclusion: Dengue viral infection was more common in male patients and 17-45 years old patients. The most common diagnosis was DHF. Urinalysis results in dengue viral infection were mostly normal. Follow-up research is needed to find the relation between the elevated urinalysis results and the severity of dengue viral infection.

Abstract

Highlights:1. All HD patients have good defecation quality after surgery.2. Almost all HD patients can control bowel movements without constipation or social problems after surgery.3. The most common problem patients face after surgery is soiling, which sometimes requires diapers. AbstractIntroduction: Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a congenital disease in which Meissner and Auerbach's plexus ganglion cells are lost on the distal side of the digestive tract, thus interfering with defecation. The postoperative defecation process was assessed to describe the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to describe the quality of defecation in pediatric HD patients after surgery. Methods: This was a descriptive study on pediatric PD patients who received surgery in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from 2018 to 2021. Demographic data came from Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. The incontinence evaluation was assessed using the Rintala Score.Results: A total of 14 pediatric HD patients underwent definitive surgery and had good scores on the Rintala score. There were 2 (14.3%) patients with maximum scores, 6 (42.9%) patients with normal scores, and 6 (42.9%) patients with good scores. The highest distribution in patients was always being able to hold bowel movements (81.8%), uncertain in reporting the desire to defecate (40.9%), 1-2 times a day (68.2%), never dirty (54.5%), never constipated (77.3%), and had no social problems (77.3%).Conclusion: Pediatric HD patients had a good outcome after a definitive operation. The most common demographics with high satisfaction rates were male and female patients with normal nutritional status, above one-year-old, normal birth weight, and term labor.

AbstractIntroduction: The COVID-19 pandemic makes personal hygiene more important than ever, and antibacterial substances such as disinfectants are crucial in maintaining said hygiene. This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of cavendish banana peel extract (Musa acuminata) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis.    Methods: The design of this study was a laboratory experiment that used the broth dilution method with test tubes using methanol as the extract's solvent. Sterile aquadest was used as the solvent, and Mueller-Hinton broth was used as the growth medium in tubes. All samples of the bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis) were provided by the Laboratory of Microbiology Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga.Results: MBC was the only parameter found due to the color and particulates, which hindered the turbidity assessment of MIC. From the dilution test, the MBC of cavendish banana peel extract against the growth of bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was 25%, with no activity against Bacillus subtilis.Conclusion: There were antibacterial activities of Musa acuminata peel extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Therefore, it has the potential to be used as a disinfectant.
