Abstract

Highlights: The most sought-after medical career choices and institutions were specialist doctors and hospitals. The most sought-after medical career choices were obstetrics and gynecology specialists.   Abstract Introduction: Government policies during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have limited the clinical rotation learning system of the Medical Faculty at Tanjungpura University. This study examined the description of medical career choices during the COVID-19 pandemic for students of the Medical Profession Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Tanjungpura University. Methods: This was a descriptive study using a quantitative method in the form of a questionnaire. A total of 138 students were selected through the purposive sampling technique (n=138). The variables were then measured using a medical career choice questionnaire. The obtained data were further processed using the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 23.0 and Microsoft Excel 2013. Results: Study results showed that from 138 samples (n=138), students chose careers as general practitioners (male=17.5%; female=16%), specialist doctors (male=70%; female=73%), lecturers (female=2%), structural doctors (male=5%; female=6%), and non-medical careers (male=7.5%; female=2%). Regarding their preferred workplace, students chose the government hospital (male=40%; female=47%), private hospital (male=37%; female=32%), public health center (male=7%; female=9%), private clinic (male=5%; female=4%), state-owned clinic (male=3%, female=1%), military (male=5%, female=2%), ministry (male=3%; female=1%), educational institution (female=3%), and police (female=1%). Conclusion: The most sought-after medical career choices and institutions were obstetrics and gynecology specialists and hospitals. Factors that influenced the selection of a medical career were personal and professional characteristics, employment conditions, personal life, preclinical and clinical rotation phase, demands of postgraduate education, and family roles. Conducting further research to determine the factors that influence the choice of a medical career by using mixed-method research or qualitative interviewing is recommended.

Abstract

Highlights: Screen time is one of the risk factors for dry eye disease (DED). Therefore, students are at high risk for DED. The ocular surface disease index (OSDI) is one method used to assess dry eye disease based on subjective symptoms. However, the correlation between screen time and the incidence of dry eye and/or its severity based on OSDI produces varying results. The majority of respondents had dry eyes based on OSDI. There was no correlation between screen time and dry eye incidence or severity based on OSDI parameters. Females had higher mean OSDI scores than males.   Abstract Introduction: People’s screen time surged during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Screen time was a risk factor for dry eye disease (DED). This study examined the correlation between screen time and DED severity based on an ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire in final-year undergraduate students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Respondents were recruited via a total sampling method. One hundred eight students participated in this study. Independent variables were sex, average duration of device use per day, and degree of daily gadget usage time. Dependent variables were OSDI score, degree of dry eye based on OSDI score, and dry eye incidence. Chi-Square, Spearman, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests were used in data analysis. Results: There was no significant relationship between daily gadget use duration and OSDI score (p=0.497; r=-0.066) and between the degree of daily gadget usage time and dry eye severity (p=0.609; r=0.050). Sex was unrelated to dry eye incidence (p=0.072) nor severity (p=0.125). There were no significant differences in daily gadget use duration between dry eye vs non-dry eye respondents (p=0.926) and across dry eye severity (p=0.934). There were no significant differences in OSDI scores between degrees of screen time (p=0.978). There was no significant correlation between the incidence of dry eye and the degree of daily gadget usage time (p=0.640). Female respondents had higher mean OSDI scores than males (p=0.009). Conclusion: Screen time was not related to the incidence and severity of dry eye based on OSDI. However, many respondents had dry eyes based on OSDI.

Abstract

Highlights: Arteriovenous fistula is preferred for dialysis vascular access. Twenty-eight (4.8%) cases had primary arteriovenous fistula failure.   Abstract Introduction: Primary arteriovenous fistula failure in Indonesia is still relatively high, and end-stage renal disease patients are prioritized to have arteriovenous fistula as their main vascular access for hemodialysis. This study aimed to determine the primary arteriovenous fistula failure profile in end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective study. The population was primary arteriovenous fistula failure patients. A total sampling method was used from the medical records of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2021 until January 2023. The research variables were gender, age, diabetes mellitus (DM) history, hypertension (HTN) history, duration of catheter double-lumen (CDL) usage before arteriovenous fistula placement, incidence of early thrombosis, and incidence of maturation failure. Data was analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2018. Results: There were 28 primary arteriovenous fistula failure cases from 580 surgical procedures performed in the research period (4.8%). The dominant results were: 15 female patients (54%), 25 non-elderly patients (89%), 16 non-DM patients (57%), 14 patients in both HTN and non-HTN (50%), 20 prolonged CDL patients (71%), followed by 7 patients that did not use CDL (25%), 28 maturation failure patients (100%), and 18 non-early thrombosis patients (64%). Conclusion: Female gender, duration of CDL usage, and maturation failure were the more prominent characteristics in this research profile. Meanwhile, the less prominent characteristics were old age, DM history, HTN history, and early thrombosis.

Abstract

Highlights: Most rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications were diagnosed as chronic rhinosinusitis. Orbital cellulitis (Chandler II) was the most common orbital complication degree. Rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications commonly experience eye pain, swollen eyes, and persistent runny noses.   Abstract Introduction: Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses. The most common complication is orbital. The limited data available does not account for the high number of cases of rhinosinusitis. This study examined the profile of rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications. Methods: This was an observational descriptive study with a retrospective design. It used secondary data from medical records of patients with rhinosinusitis and orbital complications at the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Outpatient Unit, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2015 to April 2022. Results: There were 40 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria (n=40). As many as 80% of cases were chronic rhinosinusitis, and 20% were acute. The average age of chronic rhinosinusitis was in 6th decade, while acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) was in 3rd decade. The majority of patients were males and reside outside Surabaya. Signs and symptoms that ARS patients often experienced were eye pain and swelling, nasal congestion, persistent runny nose, and decreased vision. Meanwhile, chronic rhinosinusitis included eye swelling and pain, persistent runny nose, and facial pain. The most common Chandler’s degree was orbital cellulitis (Chandler II). The most common treatment for ARS was a combination of medicamentosa and non-medicamentosa or medicamentosa and surgery, while chronic rhinosinusitis was a combination of medicamentosa, non-medicamentosa, and surgery. Conclusion: There were outcome differences between patients with acute and chronic rhinosinusitis regarding age, manifestations, and treatments, but there were similarities in sex, domicile, and Chandler’s degree predominance.

Abstract

Highlights: The administration of different dosages of vitamin C significantly yields different outcomes in preventing the progression of disease severity. Most patients with mild and moderate coronavirus disease (COVID-19) did not demonstrate an escalation in disease severity.   Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that increases pro-oxidant elements and decreases antioxidants. Vitamin C functions as a potent antioxidant in humans due to its electron-donating properties.  This study aimed to explain the impact of three distinct vitamin C supplementation dosages in preventing disease severity progression among mild and moderate COVID-19 patients. Methods: This retrospective study used secondary data from 100 medical records (n=100). The subjects were classified into three categories based on the vitamin C dosage. The data were analyzed using the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 for Windows. Results: Most of mild and moderate COVID-19 patients (78%) did not experience increased disease severity. Vitamin C supplementation significantly demonstrated a different outcome in preventing disease severity progression among the three groups (p=0.018). However, it did not significantly show any difference in reducing the duration of hospital stay (p=0.680). Conclusion: The impact of vitamin C supplementation on COVID-19 severity appeared to vary depending on the dosage administered. However, it did not affect the duration of the hospital stay.

Abstract

Highlights: The younger age and shorter duration of misalignment are significant predictors of success in horizontal strabismus surgery. Younger patients tend to have higher success rates, and shorter durations of misalignment correlate with better surgical outcomes. Despite variations in population and surgical methods, the overall success rate of 82.3% for horizontal strabismus surgeries aligns with previous studies. This consistency underscores the reliability of surgical outcomes in different settings.   Abstract Introduction: Strabismus is an eye disorder characterized by misalignment of the eyes, which can occur in individuals of any age. This study explored the surgical outcomes of horizontal strabismus correction in patients, aiming to provide insights into the factors influencing success. Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 17 patients (n=17) who underwent surgery at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Preoperative factors, including age, duration of misalignment, and preoperative angle of strabismus, were analyzed for their impact on surgical success. The International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Macintosh version 27.0 was used for data analysis. Results: This study reviewed the medical records of 17 research samples (n=17). A significant change in the median angle of deviation prism diopters (PD) preoperatively was indicated by the median Postoperative Deviation (PD) (p<0.001). A significant difference in median age at surgery was observed between successful and unsuccessful cases (p=0.035), with younger individuals exhibiting a higher success rate. The duration of misalignment emerged as a crucial factor, with a shorter duration correlating positively with a higher probability of surgical success (p<0.001). Notably, successful outcomes were achieved by all children (100%), suggesting a potential trend indicating age as a predictor of success. While the preoperative angle of strabismus did not significantly impact success, a trend emerged (p=1), indicating a potential threshold effect for more significant angles. Conclusion: Knowing the significance of age and duration of misalignment on the success rate of strabismus surgery allows for enhanced preoperative assessments, optimized timing of surgery, and developed predictive models to assist in clinical decision-making, ultimately leading to more efficient and successful surgical outcomes.

Abstract

Highlights: This study presented the clinical profile of hypertension in patients with DM, providing regional data not previously reported in the literature. It emphasizes the value of implementing targeted interventions. Discussion of pathophysiological mechanisms explained the link between DM and hypertension.   Abstract Introduction: The cardiologic and vascular consequences of both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension often occur side by side in a high incidence worldwide. They are primarily caused by the significant overlap of microvascular and macrovascular aberrations, as well as several other factors, making them closely related to one another. A better understanding between these two is needed. This study examined the clinical profile of hypertension in DM patients at Surya Melati Muhammadiyah Hospital, Kediri, Indonesia, in 2021. Methods: This study employed an observational, descriptive design. The population of the study was patients with DM and hypertension treated at Surya Melati Muhammadiyah Hospital, Kediri, Indonesia, in 2021. This study used a total sampling method. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, age, and gender were the observed variables. All the necessary data were obtained from the patients’ medical records. All statistical data analyses were conducted using Microsoft Excel. Results: A total of 520 DM patients were included, comprising 185 males and 335 females. Most of them were between 51 and 60 years old, with a total of 233 patients. A total of 277 DM patients with hypertension were included, comprising 89 males and 188 females. Most of them were between 51 and 60 years old, with a total of 121 patients. Conclusion: The number of diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension exceeded that of diabetes mellitus patients without hypertension. There were more female patients than males. Most of them were elderly.
