Abstract

Highlights A notable finding was the significant relationship between albumin levels and ECOG scores, emphasizing the potential of albumin as an indicator of functional status in lung cancer patients. The research provided a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between albumin levels and various clinicopathological conditions.   Background: Serum albumin levels provide an objective measure of malnutrition. Albumin plays crucial roles in maintaining intravascular oncotic pressure, facilitating substance transport, and acting as a free radical scavenger. The progression of tumors, including lung cancer, is closely associated with malnutrition and cancer-related inflammation, which suppress albumin synthesis. Therefore, albumin can serve as a biomarker for assessing lung cancer progression. Low albumin levels are linked to poor prognosis. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between albumin levels and lung cancer. Material and Method: This study included 130 lung cancer patients who underwent albumin testing. A cross-sectional study was conducted using medical records of patients diagnosed with lung cancer from January 2023 to December 2023. Data were collected on various factors, including age, gender, smoking status, cancer history, clinical symptoms, histopathological type, cancer stage, EGFR mutation status, ECOG score, clinical pleural effusion, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Body Mass Index (BMI). Result: The study sample was predominantly male (71.5%), aged over 50 years (76.9%), and active smokers (34.6%). Common symptoms included cough (83.8%) and shortness of breath (72.3%), with pleural effusion present in 53.8%. The majority had a moderate VAS score (46.9%) and were classified as underweight based on BMI (54.6%). Most patients were at stage IVA (63.0%), had an ECOG score of 1 (43.8%), and were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (73.8%). A significant relationship was found between ECOG scores and albumin levels, with 70.6% of hypoalbuminemic samples having an ECOG score of 3 (p < 0.005). Conclusion: A significant relationship was observed between albumin levels and ECOG scores in lung cancer patients.

Abstract

Highlights Dentists are at a higher risk of experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compared to non-dental healthcare workers. This is due to repetitive movements, the use of vibrating tools, and prolonged exposure to unergonomic postures. Ergonomic interventions are a key method for preventing CTS in dentists, aiming to reduce the risk of repetitive injuries that can lead to long-term disability.   Abstract Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a peripheral mononeuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve. Dentists are susceptible to CTS due to awkward static body postures and ergonomic issues with the wrist, including the use of vibrating instruments, repetitive movements, large muscle forces, and awkward postures such as flexion, extension, and ulnar and radial deviation. Objective: This study aimed to review various studies on ergonomic interventions to prevent CTS in dentists. Material and Method: This research followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines and used PCC framework (Population, Concept, and Context) for article selection process. Inclusion criteria consisted of articles with an experimental research design published between 2011 and 2021. Exclusion criteria included scoping reviews, rapid reviews, systematic reviews, gray literature, and articles that were not fully accessible. All keywords were taken from MeSH terms, and literature searches were conducted using Boolean searches on the PubMed, Wiley, and Google Scholar databases on August 17, 2021. Result: There were limited experimental research articles on CTS in dentists. Out of 887 articles obtained, only five were selected, with a total of 357 participants. The research subjects included general dentists, specialist dentists, and dental hygienists, both with and without CTS. Conclusion: Ergonomic interventions play a crucial role in preventing CTS in dentists. Clinically, these interventions are associated with improved hand function, reduced pain in the wrist/hand, and increased pinch and grip strength.

Abstract

Highlights It has been proven that the eucalyptus eco-enzyme from Lamongan does not exhibit strong enough antibacterial activity against E. coli at any concentration. The eucalyptus eco-enzyme method is less effective at extracting active compounds compared to distillation processing.   Abstract Background: Eucalyptus (Melaleuca leucadendra) is known to have antimicrobial potential due to its bioactive terpenoid compounds, including 1,8-cineole. This compound has the potential to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, a bacterium responsible for various infectious diseases. The eco-enzyme method, which utilizes fermentation, is simple to perform and does not require complex materials. Objective: This study aimed to assess the antibacterial activity of eucalyptus eco-enzyme against Escherichia coli. Material and Method: The M. leucadendra used in this study was sourced from Candisari Village, Lamongan, Indonesia and E. coli was obtained from laboratory isolates. Antibacterial activity was measured by observing the zone of inhibition in the well diffusion test on Muller-Hinton agar, with chloramphenicol as the positive control and distilled water as the negative control. The incubation period was 24 hours at 36°C. Result: The inhibition zone around the positive control was 25.94±1.1 mm. No inhibition zone (0 mm) was observed around the negative control or the eucalyptus eco-enzyme solution at concentrations ranging from 10% to 100%. However, a clearer zone was observed around the eco-enzyme well. The inability of the eco-enzyme to inhibit the growth of E. coli may be attributed to several factors, including the ingredients, processing method, acidity level, and bacterial resistance. Conclusion: The eucalyptus eco-enzyme did not exhibit sufficient antibacterial activity against E. coli at any of the tested concentrations.

Abstract

Highlights Ameloblastoma is a widely discussed odontogenic tumor, yet research on less invasive treatment options for recurrent cases remains limited. BRAF-targeted therapy offers a less invasive approach that may reduce the extent of surgical intervention required.   ABSTRACT Background: Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that can affect surrounding tissues and is prone to recurrence if not completely excised. Surgical therapy is currently the primary treatment modality. However, recurrences are common following prior surgical interventions. Recently, a novel approach involving BRAF (B-Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma)-targeted therapy has been introduced, aiming to prevent molecular mutations. This therapy is non-invasive, but its efficacy in treating recurrent ameloblastoma remains uncertain. Objective: This article aimed to compare the outcomes of conservative and radical surgery with BRAF-targeted therapy in the management of recurrent ameloblastoma. Material and Method: An electronic search was conducted using the PubMed and Scopus databases. Relevant studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. Results: A total of nine studies were included in the analytical synthesis. Recurrence in ameloblastoma is often due to residual tumor tissue located in anatomically challenging areas following surgery. BRAF-targeted therapy has emerged as a promising option for patients with recurrent disease, offering precise tumor targeting and potentially reducing the need for further surgical intervention. Conclusion: Surgical and BRAF-targeted therapies each offer benefits in managing recurrent ameloblastoma. While recurrence is often linked to residual tumors in complex anatomical areas, BRAF-targeted therapy provides a non-invasive, precise alternative—especially for patients with multiple recurrences. It can reduce tumor size, improve lesion localization, and potentially limit the need for extensive surgery.

Abstract

Highlights Robust statistical analyses and substantial sample size contribute to understanding anthropometric patterns and forensic medicine implications. Humerus length can be used to predict stature for the Nias tribe in North Sumatra, Indonesia.   ABSTRACT Background: The identification of stature is an essential component of forensic anthropology. The measurement of stature with a single long bone of the upper limbs provided an alternative technique for estimating stature when the commonly used lower limb bone is missing. Objective: To determine the correlation between humerus length and stature among Nias ethnic students at HKBP Nommensen University, Medan, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: The study employed correlational analytics with a cross-sectional design. The study population comprises 100 active Nias ethnic students at HKBP Nommensen University, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, consisting of 50 males and 50 females. Sampling was done by purposive sampling. Conducting a bivariate analysis to ascertain the correlation between humerus length and stature. The linear regression analysis was conducted to derive a formula for predicting stature from humerus length. Results: The length of the male humerus bone was significantly related to stature, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.949 (p<0.001). The length of the female humerus bone showed a significant correlation with stature, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.783 to 0.785 (p<0.001). The precise regression equation is established according to the minimal Standard Error of the Estimate (SEE) value within each sex group. The linear regression equations obtained were the stature of males (cm) = 78.844 + 3.001 x length of left humerus (cm) and the stature of females (cm) = 19.694 + 5.189 x length of right humerus (cm). Conclusion: Among the Nias ethnic students at HKBP Nommensen University, the study discovered a strong correlation between the lengths of the right and left humerus bones and stature. As a result, stature might be calculated using a linear regression equation to measure the humerus length of the bone.

Abstract

Highlights Papaya seeds are a natural and traditionally used remedy in Indonesia, known for their safety and medicinal properties. The 96% ethanol extract of papaya seeds exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae.   ABSTRACT Background: Pneumonia is an infectious disease with the highest childhood mortality rate worldwide, commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which have developed resistance to antibacterial agents. Papaya seeds have traditionally been used in Indonesian medicine due to their bioactive compounds, which are expected to exhibit antibacterial properties. Objective: To analyze the antibacterial effect of 96% ethanol extract of papaya seeds against S. aureus and K. pneumoniae in vitro. Material and Method: This study employed a true experimental design with a posttest-only control group. Ethanol extracts of papaya seeds at concentrations of 10%, 30%, and 50% were tested using the well diffusion method. Erythromycin and chloramphenicol were used as positive controls, and 70% alcohol served as the negative control. Inhibition zone diameters were analyzed using SPSS version 29 with the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: The ethanol extract of papaya seeds inhibited the growth of S. aureus starting at a concentration of 10%, with the largest inhibition zone observed at 50%. Against K. pneumoniae, the extract demonstrated the lowest effective inhibitory concentration at 30%, which also produced the largest inhibition zone. However, the extract was less effective than the antibiotics used. Conclusion: The ethanol extract of papaya seeds exhibits antibacterial activity against both S. aureus and K. pneumoniae, with a more pronounced effect on S. aureus.
