Abstract

Handgrip strength has been associated with various chronic diseases, length of hospitalization, cognitive decline, and even mortality. Hemodialysis administered to patients with chronic kidney disease affects their physical functioning, manifested as fatigue, mobility limitations, and a decline in the ability to perform daily activities. The goal of this study was to look at how hemodialysis patients at Rasyida Kidney Specialty Hospital Medan felt about their quality of life in relation to their grip strength. The research team used a cross-sectional analytical observational design to compile their findings. At Rasyida renal Hospital Medan, 52 patients with chronic renal disease who were receiving hemodialysis were included in the study. All participants had to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria that were previously established. The research team used a handgrip dynamometer to measure grip strength, and the WHOQOL-BREF to assess quality of life. Processing of the data involved both bivariate and univariate analyses. Findings: There was a statistically significant correlation between age (p = 0.001) and both sex and quality of life (p = 0.003). Nevertheless, neither handgrip strength (p = 0.156), comorbidities (p = 0.618), nor the length of time on hemodialysis (p = 0.746) were significantly associated with quality of life. Conclusion: Physical strength as measured by handgrip, comorbid diabetes mellitus, and length of dialysis treatment do not seem to have a significant impact on quality of life among hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. However, demographic characteristics, such as age and sex, do affect quality of life. Physical capacity as measured by handgrip strength is less important than demographic determinants in determining quality of life, according to these studies. Therefore, interventions aimed at improving quality of life are required, including social support and a care approach that focuses particularly on elderly patient groups rather than solely on physical aspects

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a global and national health challenge. Peripheral blood inflammatory indices—NLR, PLR, PNR, MLR, dNLR, SIRI, SII, and AISI—have been proposed as markers of systemic inflammation and prognosis, yet local data are scarce and findings vary. Thus, this study was aimed to describe these indices in pulmonary TB patients at Dr. Pirngadi Regional General Hospital, Medan (2019–2020). This cross-sectional study was analysed 105 inpatient medical record via total sampling technique. Demographics and eight inflammatory indices were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Median values ​​of NLR, PLR, PNR, MLR, dNLR, SIRI, SII, and AISI in pulmonary tuberculosis patients are quite varied and tend to be higher than several previous studies. High NLR and PLR values ​​can reflect a severe degree of inflammation, while PNR and dNLR values ​​show less consistent results. Indices such as SIRI, SII, and AISI show potential as indicators of systemic inflammation, but still require further study. These indices have the potential to be used as markers of inflammation and prognosis in pulmonary tuberculosis, but cannot yet be used as a single reference

Abstract

The use of acrylic base as a removable orthodontic base plate has the disadvantage of being porous, thus increasing the risk of microorganism colonization, including Streptococcus sanguinis. Lemongrass leaves (Cymbopogon citratus L.) contain secondary metabolites that have antibacterial properties such as alkaloids, saponins, tannins, polyphenols. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of lemongrass leaf extract (Cymbopogon citratus) 40% and 50% against the growth of Streptococcus sanguinis on removable orthodontic acrylic bases. This type of research is a true experimental with a post- test only control group design. The number of groups in this study was 4 (four), each consisting of 6 replications. The antibacterial testing of lemongrass leaf extract used the diffusion method. Data analysis used the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney statistical tests. Based on the results of the study, the average number of Streptococcus sanguinis bacterial colonies on removable orthodontic acrylic bases from negative controls, positive controls, 50% and 40% lemongrass leaf extract was 1725±171,980 CFU/mL, 4.17±2,639 CFU/mL, 451.67±57,840CFU/mL, and 662.50±23,889 CFU/mL. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test stated that there was a significant difference in the average number of colonies between all groups (p=0.000; p<0.05). The results of the Mann-Whitney test stated that there was a significant difference in antibacterial effectiveness between the two different groups (p=0.004; p<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that lemongrass leaf extract has antibacterial effectiveness against the growth of Streptococcus sanguinis on removable orthodontic acrylic bases

Abstract

This research aims to develop a valid RADEC-based learning model for strengthening religious character values and improving critical thinking skills of elementary school students. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, limited to the stages of preliminary study, model design, expert validation, and revision. The RADEC learning model was developed by reconstructing its syntax Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create—through the explicit integration of religious character values and critical thinking indicators at each stage of the learning process. Data were collected using expert validation sheets completed by learning model experts and subject matter experts. The validation aspects included the suitability of learning objectives, clarity of RADEC syntax, integration of religious character values, integration of critical thinking skills, and overall feasibility of the model. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques based on average scores. The results of expert validation showed average scores ranging from 4.4 to 4.6, which fall into the very valid category for all assessed aspects. These findings indicate that the developed RADEC-based learning model meets validity criteria and is conceptually feasible for use in elementary education. Therefore, the model can be used as a validated learning model prototype that may be further tested for practicality and effectiveness in future research to support character education and critical thinking development in line with the Pancasila Student Profile
