Abstract

Non-hemorrhagic stroke is the most common type of stroke and a leading cause of morbidity and disability. This condition is generally triggered by blood flow disorders due to atherosclerosis, thrombosis, or embolism, with clinical manifestations such as sudden weakness, speech disorders, and decreased consciousness. In Indonesia, including South Sulawesi, the prevalence of stroke remains high, making the identification of risk factors and clinical symptoms crucial for optimal management. This study aims to describe in detail the risk factors for non-hemorrhagic stroke in patients recorded in the medical records of Ibnu Sina YW UMI Hospital in Makassar from 2023 to 2024, as well as to describe in detail the clinical manifestations of non-hemorrhagic stroke in patients recorded in the medical records of Ibnu Sina YW UMI Hospital in Makassar from 2023 to 2024. This study was conducted using a descriptive design through a cross-sectional approach. This type of research is quantitative. The results showed that the most dominant risk factor in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at Ibnu Sina YW UMI Hospital in Makassar in 2023–2024 was hypertension (92.3%). Other risk factors found were family history (57.7%), genetic factors (53.8%), diabetes mellitus (23.1%), history of heart disease (13.5%), and dyslipidemia (11.5%). These findings indicate that the majority of patients had more than one risk factor, with hypertension being the main factor contributing to cerebral ischemia. The most common clinical manifestations were hemiparesis (90.4%), followed by vertigo (44.2%), ataxia (36.5%), aphasia (34.6%), nausea and vomiting (19.2%), and hemianesthesia (11.5%). This pattern shows that neurological deficits in the form of motor disorders are the most prominent symptoms in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. This study shows that hypertension is the most dominant risk factor in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients, accompanied by family history and genetic factors. The most common clinical manifestations were hemiparesis, followed by vertigo, ataxia, and aphasia. These findings emphasize the importance of early detection of risk factors and recognition of characteristic neurological symptoms for the optimization of non-hemorrhagic stroke management.

Abstract

Obesity is defined as a metabolic disorder characterised by an increase in body fat mass and can lead to various chronic diseases. Dangke, a traditional fermented food from Enrekang, contains lactic acid bacteria which have been shown to have the potential to aid weight loss (Jones et al., 2022). The objective of this study was to ascertain the impact of dangke administration on the Body Mass Index (Lee Index) in male Sprague Dawley obese white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The present study was an experimental laboratory study with a pre-post-test design, incorporating a control group. The study involved 30 rats, which were divided into three groups: control, low-dose treatment (1.8 g/200 g BW), and high-dose treatment (3.6 g/200 g BW). Dangke was administered the substance for a period of 14 days via a feeding tube. The subsequent analysis of the data employed a range of statistical tests, including the Shapiro-Wilk, Levene, Paired Sample T-test, and One Way ANOVA. The findings indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in the control group (p = 0.893). However, the low-dose (p = 0.001) and high-dose (p = 0.004) groups demonstrated a substantial decrease in the Lee Index, indicating a dose-dependent response. The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test following treatment indicated a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.002). The LSD follow-up test revealed a significant difference between the control group and the two treatment groups, but not between the low and high doses. The present study concluded that dangke significantly reduced the Lee Index in obese rats, although increasing the dose did not provide a significant additional effect. It is hypothesised that Dangke has the potential to be an alternative fermented nutritional intervention to aid weight loss.

Abstract

Ketuban Pecah Dini (KPD) meningkatkan risiko infeksi, tindakan Sectio Caesarea (SC), serta komplikasi neonatal. Durasi KPD menjadi faktor utama yang memengaruhi keputusan persalinan dan kondisi bayi. Di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya tahun 2022–2024, kasus KPD dan SC dengan indikasi KPD menunjukkan peningkatan, sehingga penting diteliti hubungan durasi KPD dengan keputusan SC dan outcome neonatus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi distribusi durasi KPD pada ibu bersalin di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus selama periode 2022-2024, untuk mengetahui proporsi tindakan persalinan (SC dan Pervaginam) berdasarkan durasi KPD di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus selama periode 2022-2024, untuk mengetahui distribusi outcome neonatus berdasarkan durasi KPD di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus selama periode 2022-2024, dan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara durasi KPD dan tindakan SC di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus selama periode 2022-2024, serta menganalisis hubungan antara durasi KPD dan outcome terhadap neonatus (NICU/Perinatologi atau rawat gabung) di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus selama periode 2022-2024. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi deskriptif observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional (potong lintang). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas ibu dengan KPD mengalami durasi pecah ketuban ≥12 jam, yaitu sebesar 78,7% dari seluruh kasus. Sebagian besar ibu dengan KPD menjalani tindakan Sectio Caesarea (70,0%), terutama pada kelompok dengan durasi KPD ≥12 jam. Neonatus dari ibu dengan KPD mayoritas (77,9%) memerlukan perawatan di unit perinatologi, terutama pada kasus dengan durasi KPD ≥12 jam. Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara durasi KPD dan tindakan SC (χ² = 48,369; p < 0,001), di mana ibu dengan durasi KPD ≥12 jam memiliki peluang hampir 9 kali lebih besar untuk menjalani SC. Durasi KPD juga berhubungan signifikan dengan outcome neonatus (χ² = 44,493; p < 0,001), dengan risiko 8 kali lebih tinggi untuk dirawat di unit perinatologi pada bayi dari ibu dengan KPD ≥12 jam. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa durasi KPD ≥12 jam berhubungan erat dengan meningkatnya tindakan SC dan kebutuhan perawatan intensif neonatus. Semakin lama ketuban pecah, semakin tinggi risiko intervensi obstetri dan komplikasi neonatal di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus periode 2022–2024.

Abstract

Postoperative pain management plays a pivotal role in optimizing surgical recovery and minimizing postoperative morbidity. In clinical practice, epidural analgesia and continuous intravenous opioid administration via elastomeric pumps are commonly utilized to control postoperative pain. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the analgesic effectiveness and adverse event profiles of continuous epidural levobupivacaine infusion and fentanyl administration using an elastomeric pump in patients undergoing digestive and gynecological surgery at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital, Banda Aceh. This analytic comparative observational study included adult postoperative patients who received either epidural levobupivacaine or intravenous fentanyl via elastomeric pump. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann–Whitney U test. Both analgesic modalities achieved satisfactory postoperative pain control, with no statistically significant differences in NRS scores at 24 hours (p = 0.759) and 48 hours (p = 0.050). Opioid-related adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, and sedation, were more frequently observed in the fentanyl group, whereas hypotension occurred in a small proportion of patients receiving epidural analgesia. These findings indicate that continuous epidural levobupivacaine and fentanyl elastomeric pump provide comparable effectiveness and safety for postoperative pain management following digestive and gynecological surgery.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global public health issue, particularly in developing countries. Indonesia ranks second in the world in terms of TB burden. Adherence to anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) regimens is crucial for effective TB treatment; however, side drug reactions often hinder adherence. This study examined the relationship between ATD-related side effects and medication adherence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients receiving treatment at the Pulmonary Clinic of RSUCM Aceh Utara. Employing a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, we enrolled 74 patients through purposive sampling and collected data using questionnaires. The results showed that most patients experienced minor side effects (70.3%), with urine discoloration (97.3%), nausea (74.3%), and arthralgia (58.1%) being the most common. Patient medication adherence levels were classified as follows: 50% adherent, 29.7% moderately adherent, and 20.3% non-adherent. The chi-square analysis showed a significant statistical link between the side effects of ATD and patients' adherence to their medication regimen (p < 0.001). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between ATD-related side effects and decreased medication adherence. Proactive management of these side effects and comprehensive patient education are essential. Keywords: anti-tuberculosis drugs; medication adherence; side effects

Abstract

This study investigated the significance of admission systolic blood pressure (SBP) severity as a predictor of stroke subtype and early neurological worsening in a group of 220 acute stroke patients. We conducted a retrospective analysis, classifying entry systolic blood pressure in accordance with American Heart Association standards and assessing outcomes related to stroke subtype (hemorrhagic versus ischemic) and early neurological deterioration (END), the latter extracted from clinical notes. Upon controlling for age, sex, diabetes, and cholesterol, we observed that admission systolic blood pressure was markedly elevated in individuals with hemorrhagic stroke. Every 10 mmHg elevation in systolic blood pressure (SBP) augmented the adjusted odds of hemorrhagic stroke by 42%, whereas patients experiencing a hypertensive crisis (SBP ≥180 mmHg) exhibited a five-fold increased likelihood of hemorrhagic stroke relative to normotensive individuals. A hypertensive crisis was independently linked to an almost three-fold elevation in the likelihood of early neurological impairment. The correlation was most pronounced in individuals below 50 years of age. We determine that the severity of entry systolic blood pressure is a significant, independent predictive marker for hemorrhagic stroke subtype and early clinical deterioration, highlighting its essential function in acute stroke evaluation and treatment.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy is a condition characterized by hemoglobin (Hb) levels below the normal threshold of 11 g/dL. This condition continues to represent a significant public health concern worldwide. Data from the World Health Organization indicate that the global prevalence of anemia among pregnant women reaches 41.8%. One of the main interventions for iron deficiency anemia is iron (Fe/ferrous sulfate) supplementation. Nevertheless, adherence to Fe tablet consumption among pregnant women remains inadequate, which contributes to the continued high prevalence of anemia. This study aimed to determine the association between adherence to Fe tablet consumption and the incidence of anemia among pregnant women at Banda Sakti Primary Health Center, Lhokseumawe. The findings revealed that most pregnant women with low adherence experienced anemia (90.5%), while the majority of those with high adherence had normal hemoglobin levels (69.2%). Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between adherence to Fe tablet consumption and the occurrence of anemia among pregnant women at the Banda Sakti Primary Health Center, Lhokseumawe.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, including in Makassar City. Seasonal variation in tropical regions may influence the occurrence of ARI through changes in environmental conditions. This study aimed to analyze seasonal patterns in Makassar City, describe the distribution of ARI cases at the Barombong Primary Health Center, and examine the relationship between seasonal changes and ARI incidence. This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Seasonal data and ARI cases in 2024 were statistically analyzed to assess their relationship. The results showed that the seasonal pattern in Makassar in 2024 consisted of two rainy seasons and one relatively long dry season. ARI cases at Barombong Primary Health Center fluctuated throughout the year, with the lowest number of cases in September and the highest in November. However, statistical analysis indicated no significant association between seasonal changes and the incidence of ARI (p = 0.442). In conclusion, seasonal changes were not significantly associated with ARI incidence at Barombong Primary Health Center. Variations in ARI cases were more strongly influenced by other factors, such as environmental conditions, behavioral factors, and individual characteristics.

Abstract

Smoking is a global health problem that remains a serious concern, including in Indonesia, which has the highest smoking prevalence in the ASEAN region. Exposure to harmful substances in cigarettes, such as nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, can impair the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, leading to decreased oxygen saturation and physical endurance. One important indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness is VO₂Max, which reflects the body’s maximal ability to absorb and utilize oxygen during physical activity. Smoking habits and a physically inactive lifestyle are known to contribute to decreased VO₂Max and an increased risk of chronic diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the VO₂Max values of smokers and non-smokers among staff at SMAN 11 Pinrang using the Rockport Walking Test. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were male staff members of SMAN 11 Pinrang classified as smokers and non-smokers. The results showed that the mean VO₂Max value of smoking male staff was 42.36 ± 6.30 ml/kg/min, categorized as Fair Good. Meanwhile, the mean VO₂Max value of non-smoking male staff was 47.46 ± 4.18 ml/kg/min, categorized as Good–Excellent. There was a significant difference in VO₂Max values between smokers and non-smokers (p = 0.007), with the non-smoking group demonstrating better aerobic capacity. In conclusion, non-smoking male staff had higher VO₂Max values than smokers, and this difference was statistically significant, indicating that smoking harms cardiorespiratory fitness.

Abstract

Menstruation is a physiological process that may increase the risk of reproductive tract infections if personal hygiene is not properly maintained. Genital hygiene behavior during menstruation plays an important role in maintaining reproductive health; however, many women still have inadequate hygiene practices, one of which is influenced by limited knowledge. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge level and genital hygiene behavior during menstruation, as well as differences in knowledge level and genital hygiene behavior among female students of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Muslim Indonesia (UMI), class of 2023. This study used a quantitative design with an observational analytic method and a cross-sectional approach. The results showed that most female students from both faculties had good knowledge levels and good genital hygiene behavior during menstruation. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge level and genital hygiene behavior in both faculties (p = 0.001). Significant differences were also found in knowledge level between medical and non-medical students, with medical students having higher knowledge levels (p = 0.004). In addition, genital hygiene behavior during menstruation was significantly better among medical students compared to students from the Faculty of Economics and Business (p = 0.023). These findings indicate the importance of strengthening structured and equitable reproductive health education across all faculties to improve genital hygiene behavior during menstruation among female students.
