Abstract

To illustrate features of diagnostic delay in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and underscore the value of multisystem integration in primary care. It also highlights cognitive and system factors that prolong recognition of rare autoimmune disease in resource-limited settings, including delayed referral. A 37-year-old female healthcare professional in Pakistan underwent a 13-year diagnostic odyssey marked by persistent xerosis/photosensitivity, recurrent ectopic pregnancies, Raynaud’s phenomenon, profound weight gain, fatigue, and later inflammatory symptoms. Severe COVID-19 (Delta variant) in July 2021 precipitated acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and prompted imaging that revealed interstitial lung disease (ILD). Autoimmune testing showed antinuclear antibodies (ANA) 1:320 with a nucleolar pattern and anti–topoisomerase I (anti–Scl-70) positivity. High-resolution computed tomography demonstrated bilateral basal ground-glass opacities with traction bronchiectasis consistent with a non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) pattern, supporting SSc-associated ILD. The patient was started on mycophenolate mofetil (2 g/day) with a tapering course of prednisolone, leading to clinical stabilization and preserved pulmonary function on follow-up. Persistent Raynaud’s phenomenon with subtle skin changes should trigger early ANA screening; recurrent obstetric complications may signal systemic vasculopathy; and anchoring bias can delay diagnosis when symptoms are treated in isolation rather than as a unified syndrome.

Abstract

Run optimally. The calculation of the need for health workers is usually based on several things, such as the type of disease that is widely encountered in the community, the number and burden of services that must be handled, the availability of health facilities, and certain ratios or standards that have been set. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of reinforcement, competence and workload on the performance of health workers at the Karang Rejo Health Center, Tarakan City. The design of this study is an observational quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The total population was 146 respondents while the sample of 107 respondents was taken using the Simple Random Sampling technique. Based on the results of the Ordinal Regression analysis, it is known that the variables of reinforcement, competence, and workload partially have a significant influence on the performance of health workers at the Karang Rejo Health Center, Tarakan City, which is shown by the p-value of 0.016 for reinforcement, 0.007 for competence, and 0.016 for workload (p < 0.05), so that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. These findings show that the better the implementation of reinforcement provided by the leadership, the higher the level of competence that health workers have, and the more appropriate the workload management, the performance of health workers tends to increase. Thus, the performance of health workers is not only influenced by individual factors such as competence, but also by organizational factors in the form of reinforcement and workload, which together play an important role in supporting the improvement of the quality of health services at the Karang Rejo Health Center, Tarakan City.

Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common work-related musculoskeletal disorder associated with repetitive hand activities. Online motorcycle drivers are at increased risk due to prolonged gripping and repetitive wrist movements. Anthropometric factors and hand strength have been suggested as potential contributors to CTS, but evidence remains inconsistent, particularly in informal occupational groups. This study aimed to analyze the association between wrist ratio, body mass index (BMI), and hand grip strength with CTS symptoms based on the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ). An observational cross-sectional study was conducted involving 80 online motorcycle drivers selected using consecutive sampling. Wrist ratio, BMI, and hand grip strength were measured, while CTS symptoms were assessed using the BCTQ. Data was analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical tests. CTS symptoms were identified in 48.8% of participants. A substantial proportion of participants were classified as overweight or obese (approximately 44%). Statistical analysis showed no significant association between wrist ratio, BMI, or hand grip strength and CTS symptoms (p > 0.05). Wrist ratio, BMI, and hand grip strength were not significantly associated with CTS symptoms among online motorcycle drivers. These findings suggest that CTS is a multifactorial condition influenced by factors beyond basic anthropometric and strength measurements.

Abstract

Bacterial and fungal infections, along with the rise of antimicrobial resistance, necessitate the exploration of novel natural antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Pometia pinnata leaf extracts obtained using Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) combined with a Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NADES) system based on choline chloride:citric acid, and to compare it with conventional methods. Various NADES molar ratios were tested to determine optimal conditions based on Total Phenolic Content (TPC) using the Folin–Ciocalteu method. Antimicrobial activity was assessed against Bacillus cereus, Shigella dysenteriae, and Malassezia furfur using disk diffusion and solid dilution methods. The results showed that the 1:3 molar ratio yielded the highest TPC (72.77±0.52 mg GAE/g). The NADES extract exhibited specific antibacterial activity against B. cereus (10.90±3.26 mm), while ethanol extracts were more effective against S. dysenteriae (11.78±0.98 mm). Against M. furfur, the NADES extract at 1,000 µg/disc demonstrated comparable activity to maceration at 6,000 µg/disc, with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 3,571 µg/mL. In conclusion, choline chloride:citric acid (1:3) NADES is an optimal green solvent for producing phenolic-rich extracts with specific and dose-efficient antimicrobial activity.
