Abstract

Background: The high rate of maternal and infant mortality in Indonesia in the past year can be influenced by the habits of the community who prefer Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) in the childbirth. In fact, TBAs are not health profession and do not have competency standards to assist with childbirth, thus increasing the risk of maternal and infant mortality. This article aimed to determine the influence of culture on the community’s habit of choosing TBAsor official village midwives (OVMs)in childbirth process in remote areas.Methods: A cross-sectional study was used. The respondents were mothers who gave birth in the last one year in one remote sub-district in Aceh. TBAs and official village midwiveswereobserved and indepth interviews were also conducted.Resultsand Discussions:The results of this study showed community attitudes about cultural influences during pregnancy, such as TBAs-assisted delivery is a cultural belief that must be followed.Hence, factors that influence the choice of mothers in using OVMs or TBAs:cultural beliefs and norms, and the role of the cultural leaders in making decisions. Conclusions: Culture plays an important role in influencing people who live in remote areas to choose TBAs rather than the OVMs.

Abstract

Internationalization has prompted expanded migration prompting incidents of deaths outside the deceased’s own nation are on the ascent. The basic assumption being, that the danger during the excursion is more noteworthy than that present in the normal conditions of the traveler. Many legal formalities comes to play following demise of a foreign national. The officials of that country, following the death of a foreign national on foreign soil, conduct a primary investigation. Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of sudden death contributing for about 45-50% cases and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) being leading entity. We present a case of foreign national, who died while travelling on an intercontinental flight. This case describes the autopsy findings emphasizing the cardiac rupture, along with accidental finding of rare psychiatric disorder polyembolokialomania.

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have found that the potential loss of pulmonary tuberculosis is relatively high. The study aimed at analyzing ecologically the factors related to the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Indonesia.Methods: Ecological analysis conducted using secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia report in 2018. All provinces take as samples. Apart from pulmonary tuberculosis, five other variables analyzed as independent variables were smokers’ percentage and adequate ventilation. Percentage of proper lighting, the rate of poor people, and the portion of the population completing primary education. Data were analyzed using a scatter plot.Results: The study results found that the higher the percentage of smokers in a province, the higher the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The higher the percentage of adequate ventilation in an area, the lower the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The higher the rate of sufficient lighting in a province, the lower the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Meanwhile, the higher the percentage of poor people in a region, the higher the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Finally, the higher the portion of the population completing primary education in a province, the lower the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis.Conclusion: It concluded five independent variables analyzed were related to Indonesia’s prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract

Cleft lip and cleft palate (CL/P) is a cleft lip deformity indicated by an opening or an uncommon cleft in the lip or roof of the mouth (palate). The differences in ethnicity, gender, and the correlation with genetic factors influence the prevalence of Non-syndromic CL/P. This study was conducted through a literature review on genes that were allegedly associated with Non-syndromic CL/P. Genetics play a role, to a greater or lesser extent, in all diseases. Besides, palatogenesis involves many diverse genes in a complex process. In this case, oral cleft phenotypes develop when this process is disrupted in some manner because of gene dysfunction. Various genetic approaches, including genome-wide and candidate gene association studies as well as linkage analysis, have been undertaken to identify etiologic factors, but results have often been inconclusive or contradictory. Therefore, it concludes that the genetic basis of CL/P is still controversial because of the genetic complexity of clefting.

Abstract

Diuretic resistance is commonly found as a problem in acute heart failure (AHF). A further understanding of diuretic response could lead to improved personal approaches for treating patients with AHF. A 48 yo male suffered shortness of breath with a history of hypertension and DM. The patient was diagnosed as Ischemic Cardiomyopathy with Type I Cardiorenal Syndrome. The patient was given a 40 mg continued by 80 mg intravenous furosemide and low dose dobutamine pump. As the patient had zero urine production, a 160 mg intravenous furosemide followed by 15 mg/hr. After high-dose furosemide was given, the urine production was increased and the patient showed improved signs and symptoms. Deteriorating kidney function and bad response to diuretics is a principal clinical problem in AHF. Some treatment strategies include a combination of diuretic therapy, an increased dose of intravenous loop diuretics, and ultrafiltration. However, this patient gave good respond only to high doses of loop diuretics.

Abstract

Introduction – Several studies show that there is a negative correlation between obesity and cognitive function. Exercise can reverse the bad effect of obesity through mediation of BDNF. Research about the effect of exercise intensity to BNDF levels in hippocampus of mice is ever be done, but research about the effect of exercise intensity to BNDF levels in hippocampus of fructose-induced mice is never be done.Objective – To prove the effect of different exercise intensity to BDNF level in hippocampus of fructoseinduced mice. Methods – A total of 32 mice were divided into four groups: Control group which was a CON and treatment groups which were low-intensity exercise (LIE), moderate-intensity exercise (MIE), and high-intensity exercise (HIE). The duration of treatment was 4 weeks. Swimming to exercise held 3 times a week and fructose solution dose was 270 grams for 9 days.Results – This research revealed that there was significantly difference on body weight before and after administration of fructose solution for 9 days (p=0.000). The lowest BDNF levels after treatment was group C and the highest of BDNF levels was group MI. There was no significantly difference in BDNF levels among groups after treatment (p=0.378), but there was tendency for BDNF levels to increase with exercise intensity.Conclusion – Swimming exercise with low-intensity, moderate-intensity, and high intensity has no effect on BDNF level in the hippocampus of fructose-induced mice.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The positive effects of physical activity during pregnancy have been completely recognized. However, given the lack of required knowledge and information, most of the pregnant women are inactive, and providing an educational program is thus of high significance for pregnant mothers. Given the multifactorial nature of physical activity, being affected by personal, interpersonal, environmental, and social factors, Pender’s health promotion model has been applied for designing the required intervention. The present study was thus designed and conducted to investigate the effect of an educational intervention based on Pender’s health promotion model on the physical activity of pregnant women.Method: The present study is a quasi-experimental one with a control group conducted at four Comprehensive Health Service Centers (both urban and suburban) in Sanandaj in 2020. Applying a random-stratified sampling method, two centers were dedicated to the control group and two centers were dedicated for the intervention group. With a continuous sampling plan, based on the inclusion exclusion criteria, as many as 88 pregnant women referring to the health service centers were selected and entered into the present study in two groups of intervention and control (each group consists of 44 participants). The control group received the regular care and training and the intervention group was provided with an education program based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model in five sixty-to-ninetyminute sessions with different methods and materials includingbrainstorming, lectures, group discussions, questions and answers, showing movies, and providing educational booklets and brochures distributed among women.The data collection tools include demographic questionnaires and the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnair by Chasan-Taber et al. For investigating the effect of the intervention, the questionnaires were completed 6 weeks after the end of the intervention for both intervention and control groups. The data were analyzed by using SPSS-25 as well as Chi-squared test, Fisher’s Exact Test, independent T-test, and paired t-test.Findings: Before initiating the educational intervention, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic and physical activity scores.But after the educational intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean of total physical activity between the intervention and control groups(P<0.001).Conclusion: The present study confirms the effectiveness of an educational intervention based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model on promoting the pregnant women’s physical activity. Given the findings of the present study, it is thus recommended to apply Pender’s Health Promotion Model as a framework for designing the educational intervention to promote the physical activity among women
