Abstract

Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation alters cardiovascular physiology causinghypertension and tachycardia. Dexmedetomidine, an alpha 2 adrenergic receptor produces analgesiaby direct activation of descending inhibitory pain pathway and inhibiting the release of substance P.Clonidine a centrally acting alpha 2 adrenergic agonist decreases central sympathetic nervous system in allhyperadrenergic situations. Hence we compare haemodynamic effects between dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg/kg and clonidine 1mcg/kg during after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation for patients undergoing generalanaesthesia.Method: Patients were allocated randomly into 2 groups of 30 each. Group D received dexmedetomidine0.5mcg/kg diluted in 10ml NS and group C- clonidine 1 mcg/kg diluted in 10ml NS intravenously andhemodynamic parameters were observed. Dexmedetomidine/ Clonidine according to groups is givenintravenously with premedication. After 5 minutes patients were induced with 2.5% thiopentone 5-7 mg/kgand succinyl choline 2mg/kg and intubated with appropriate sized cuffed ETT. Anaesthesia was maintainedwith O2, N2O, isoflurane and vecuronium bromide 0.08mg/kg.Results: Haemodynamic changes after laryngoscopy and intubation were recorded at baseline, premedication,induction, intubation, 1, 3, 5,10 and 15 minutes. The initial fall in HR is more in Group C compared to GroupD but the difference was insignificant, but since intubation till 10min post intubation HR was significantly(p<0.05) supressed more in Group D. Similarly fall in SBP and DBP is significantly (p<0.05) more in GroupD compared to Group C.Conclusion: Dexmedetomedine 0.5 mcg/kg intravenously 15 minutes prior to laryngoscopy and intubationattenuates the sympathetic response better as compared to clonidine without major side effects.

The research instrument indetermining thesocial support from family, the social support from peer and the level of psychological wellbeingwas questionnaire. Meanwhile, the data analysis was conducted by using logistic regression.The results of peer support obtained p = 0.127; Family support obtained p = 0.000;Rsquare was 0.080,indicating that the family social support affected the psychological well-being of the elderly. It is expectedthatthe elderly can improve their health during the Covid-19 pandemic by carrying out positive activities bothat home and in the community. Family support and health services for the elderly are needed in improvingthe psychological well-being of the elderly. Psychological well-being must always be improved so that thehealth of the elderly can be achieved and the elderly can pass through the pandemic well.

Abstract

Otogenic brain abscess is a common intracranial complication from chronic supurative otitis media.Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes is a rare cause of brain abscess. Prompt diagnosis and decision making issignificant in order to decrease the mortality rate from this type of abscess. We described A 13-year-old boypresented with decreased consciousness, positive meningeal signs, and pathological reflexes. There was ahistory of chronic suppurative otitis media. A head CT scan revealed multiple left cerebellar abscesses andbrain edema. The abscess wall culture revealed P. pseudoalcaligenes. After being managed with surgicalabscess drainage, mastoidectomy, ear flushing, and antimicrobial therapy for six weeks, his consciousnesslevel improved. Cerebellar neurological impairment was still observed. Physical and neurologicalrehabilitation was performed in order to improve the patient’s condition.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a dangerous disease and often causes complications. The study aims to analyzeecologically the factors related to the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Indonesia. The study was designedwith an ecological analysis approach, using secondary data from the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Surveycovering all provinces as samples. The dependent variable is the prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Theindependent variable is the prevalence of obesity nutritional status according to BMI in the adult population(aged >18 years), the proportion of less physical activity in the population aged >10years, the proportion ofsweet drink consumption habits in the population >3 years old more than once per day and the percentage ofpoor people. Data were analyzed using the scatter plot.The results showed that the higher the prevalence ofobesity nutritional status according to BMI in the adult population, the higher the proportion of less physicalactivity, and the higher the proportion of sweet drink consumption habits in the population more than onceper day, the higher the prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Conversely, the higher the percentage of poor people,the lower the prevalence of diabetes mellitus. The study concluded that the four independent variables testedtend to relate to the prevalence of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Introduction:- A 14 years old male child with spinal cord injury faced great difficulties during transitionand walking with HKFO and walker due to autonomic dysreflexia.Methods: - A child with thoracic D3-D9 spinal cord injury was included in the study .After dischargefrom hospital; he came to physiotherapy OPD regularly. He had achieved sitting with support by 9-10weeks, floor to bed transitions by 11-12 weeks, sit to stand with HKAFO with walker and parallel bar by 12weeks, walking with walker with HKFO (indoor) BY 13 weeks. During the transitions he was suffering fromraised blood pressures and palpitation and flushes. Fluctuation in vitals indicated episodes of autonomicdysreflexia. But day by day he was having less tolerance to therapy and he had started losing confidencein performing transitions and wheel chair rehabilitation, an individualized relaxation therapy Raga Darbariof Indian classical music in instrumental form of FLUTE to induce relaxation in him. Post physiotherapyand post transitions, child was given relaxation for 20-25 minutes and vitals were recorded pre and postrelaxation therapy on day 1 and after last session of 4 weeks of relaxation therapy.Results: - Post 4 weeks of relaxation therapy the child has more stable vital parameters after the transitions,gait training. Frequency of episodes of autonomic dysreflexia was also reduced.Conclusion:- An individualized relaxation therapy using Raga Darbari of Indian Classical music in theinstrumental form has given satisfactory results for autonomic dysreflexia

Abstract

Background: Neonatal Asphyxia is one of the risk factors for hearing loss in children. Neonatal Asphyxiacauses cochlear damage due to lack of oxygenation and tissue perfusion which can lead to cell death.Objective: Determining the risk of Neonatal Asphyxia for the occurrence of sensorineural hearing lossin children. Methods: A case control study was done between July to September 2020. Children withsensorineural hearing loss are on study group and the control group is children with normal hearing.Participants were measured for previous labor history based on medical records that confirmed asphyxia.Participants were also examined for DPOAE and ABR / BERA. The measurement results were analyzedusing the Chi-Square test, which was significant if p <0.05. Results: Most participants aged 2-3 yearsexperienced hearing loss (65.96%) and normal (68.08%; p = 0.835). Participants of sensorineural hearingloss with Neonatal Asphyxia (57.4%) were more than non- Neonatal Asphyxia (42.6%; OR = 1.82; 95% CI0.81 - 4.13; p = 0.149). Conclusion: Neonatal Asphyxia increases the risk of sensorineural hearing loss by1.82 times compared to children without Neonatal Asphyxia.
