Abstract

Introduction: Menstruation is triggered by the monthly period, which creates the menstrual cycle. Several factors can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, including stress, smoking, taking hormonal supplements, disorders of the endocrine system, and nutritional deficiencies. Objective: This research aims to investigate the connection between nutritional status and the period of menstruation in female students at Al-Jihad boarding school in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This study was conducted using an analytic observation approach. The research sample was determined using a simple random sampling technique, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria that had been set. Questionnaires were used as data collection instruments, and anthropometric examinations were conducted to assess nutritional status and the menstrual cycle. Univariate analysis and bivariate analysis were performed to analyze the data. The chi-square statistical test was used as a bivariate analysis with a p-value <0.05 indicating significant data. Results: A total of 65 respondents were used in the study because they met the inclusion criteria. Based on the survey results using questionnaires and anthropometric examinations, it was found that 4.6% of female students had an obese nutritional status, 7.7% were obese, and the remaining 87.7% were normal. The menstrual cycle experienced by female students is 27.7% of female students experience an abnormal menstrual cycle, and the other 72.3% have a normal menstrual cycle. Based on the Chi-Square test, the significance value of p = 0.290 means no relationship between nutritional status and the menstrual cycle. Conclusion: The menstrual cycle in adolescence is not influenced by nutritional status.

Abstract

Introduction: Vegetables are essential for maintaining human health because they are a great source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients. Most people consume raw vegetables to preserve the nutrients in them. However, raw vegetables have a great potential to spread intestinal parasitic infections. Raw vegetables consumed as fresh vegetables also have the potential to transmit geohelminth infection. Protozoan infections can be transmitted through food and some of these diseases. Objective: This study aims to identify intestinal parasites in spinach at Padamara Market, Padamara District Methods: A total sampling technique was used to collect 20 bunches of spinach at Padamara Market, Padamara District, and the identification of intestinal parasites using the 0.2% NaOH sedimentation method was carried out at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto in April–May 2021. Results: 14 samples (70%) of spinach were positive for intestinal parasites, while 6 samples (30%) were negative for intestinal parasites. The results of intestinal parasite identification found the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs as many as 10 (30.3%), Minute Intestinal Fluke eggs as many as 6 (18.18%), and Entamoeba coli cysts as many as 17 (51.52%). Conclusions: A. lumbricoides egg, Minute Intestinal Fluke eggs, and E. coli cyst were identified in spinach at Padamara Market, Padamara District

Abstract

Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest diseases and is still a major health problem in the world. The standard treatment for pulmonary TB is within 6 months. Failure of pulmonary TB sufferers to seek treatment and good adherence to medication consumption plays an important role in the recurrence of pulmonary TB. Treatment supervision (PMO) in pulmonary TB patients contributes to patient compliance in taking medication, so it can be concluded that PMO is also important in the recurrence of pulmonary TB. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between medication adherence and the role of medication supervisors with the prevalence of pulmonary TB recurrence in the city of Serang, Banten, so that it can be developed as an effort to prevent an increase in TB prevalence in the future. Methods: This research was conducted at the Unyur, Banten Girang, and Singandaru Health Centers in January-May 2023 with a total sample of 41 people. The research design used was a case-control design and used a total sampling technique. The analysis used was univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test and if cells did not meet the Chi-square test requirements, the alternative test was Fisher's exact Results: The results of this study concluded that there was no significant relationship between adherence to taking medication and monitoring taking medication with recurrence of pulmonary TB, namely obtaining p value = 0.906 and in the role of supervisor taking medication obtained p value = 0,719. Conclusions: Based on the results, the conclusion of this research is that there is no significant relationship between the level of treatment compliance and lung disease. recurrence of TB. Apart from that, there was no significant relationship between the role of monitoring medication taking and recurrence of pulmonary TB

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has risen globally, posing a substantial health challenge, with a marked increase reported in both developed and developing nations. Diabetes is a primary contributor to the global prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). During the pandemic, there is a considerable challenge, especially for CKD patients, including a loss in health services, vulnerability to COVID-19 infection, stressful events during social distancing, and a decrease in therapy adherence. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic may give rise to various characteristics in individuals with chronic kidney disease. Objective: To investigate the correlation between the characteristic of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage at RSI Jemursari Surabaya during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An observational analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) previously diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. A total of 169 samples were obtained using a simple random sampling method. The variables considered include age, gender, HbA1c, blood pressure, cardiovascular comorbidities, Pulmonary comorbidities, and history of COVID-19. Results: The study demonstrated a significant correlation between blood pressure and kidney function tests, including blood creatine level, BUN, and eGFR, with CKD stage (P<0.05). Randomised blood glucose also has a significant correlation to the CKD stage. No notable correlation was observed among age, gender, HbA1c levels, cardiovascular comorbidities, pulmonary comorbidities, and history of COVID-19. Conclusions: The presence of hypertension and abnormal kidney function test results correlate with the stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) during a pandemic.

Abstract

Introduction: Nearly half of patients who present with angina have non-obstructed coronary arteries. Patients with chest pain in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) remain a challenge. These patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography do not have epicardial coronary disease obstructive enough to explain these symptoms. This condition is potentially serious and can sometimes trigger severe arrhythmia resulting in ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are incompletely understood, which has resulted in limited therapeutic options for patients afflicted with this condition. This review article provides a comprehensive summary of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of VSA and the current therapeutic options. We also appraise the current diagnostic approach in patients with suspected VSA. Result: Coronary microvascular tone and subsequently, its blood flow is regulated through various vasodilating and vasoconstricting mechanisms. Coronary endothelial dysfunction and vascular smooth muscle hyperreactivity are proposed mechanism causing coronary artery spams. This may cause transient ST-Elevations, malignant arrhythmias and significant heart blocks. Various non-invasive and invasive exams may identify and differentiate these variant anginas. Conclusions: VSA can be diagnosed accurately and safely in the catheter laboratory. The mainstay of management is pharmacological treatment.

Abstract

Introduction : Pediculosis capitis is a scalp hair disorder caused by an infestation of the lice of Pediculus humanus capitis. The spread of this disease is dominant in Islamic boarding school students. This disease besides causing itching and lesions on the scalp also causes loss of concentration and enjoyment of learning in children. The objective of this study was to determine the percentage of female students infested with P. humanus capitis. Methods : The design of this research is cross-sectional. The sample for this study was 41 female students of grade 7 at AL-Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, Central Cikarang, West Java. Examination of  P. humanus capitis on all female students was carried out using the serit method. The P. humanus capitis lice found were then collected and preserved preparations were made for microscopic morphological identification. Results : The results of this study showed that from 41 samples, 36 (87.8%) students were found to be positive for P. humanus capitis. Conclusions : The conclusion from this study is that the percentage of pediculosis capitis in female students is high, so it is necessary to take countermeasures in the form of head lice medication and education about personal hygiene for class 7 female students at Al-Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, Central Cikarang, West Java

Abstract

Introduction: Violent crimes using sharp objects are a common problem in Indonesia because sharp weapons can be easily accessed. When evaluating sharp-force injuries, the correct interpretation of the morphology of individual wounds, as well as the overall pattern of findings, is of paramount importance in the reconstruction aspect of the crime. Any knowledge of the occurrence and distribution of sharp force injuries in knife attack victims and perpetrators can help to verify statements or expose defensive lies. Case: We present, a patient from another hospital came to the emergency room at Doctor Soetomo Hospital with a stab wound to the right chest. The 35-year-old male victim, with the initials SPJ, admitted that he was stabbed by his brother. The victim's vital signs were stable when examined. On the right chest, an open wound with flat edges and sharp and blunt angles was found, measuring three centimeters long and five centimeters wide. The victim underwent radiological and laboratory examinations, installed water-sealed drainage, and was administered anti-pain and antibiotics.  Discussion: The qualification for this patient's wound based on the Indonesian Criminal Code and the scoring carried out is a moderate wound Conclusions: Based on the law and the scoring carried out by the author, the wounds on the patient's body are injuries resulting from a criminal act and are included in the category of moderate abuse, which means that the injuries that occurred to the victim did not cause death or cause permanent disability but caused temporary obstacles in carrying out work.

Abstract

Introduction: Natural environments within healthcare settings have received growing interest for their potential role in supporting health and well-being. Healing gardens are typically green open spaces within hospitals that promote the physical, mental, and emotional rehabilitation of patients, also benefiting the staff and visitors. This paper presents a narrative review pertaining to the theoretical underpinnings, history, and empirical research on the effectiveness of healing gardens in health care settings. Result: It has been reviewed in recent literature that healing gardens have a huge effect on stress reduction, mood enhancement, improved cognitive functioning, and accelerated physical recovery. Some key design principles, such as access, sensory stimulus, and restorative components, arebanner in maximizing this potential therapy. Healing gardens, therefore, become one of the most cost-effective ways for patient care and staff well-being; however, there might be some little challenges in implementing and maintaining them. Conclusion: Future research should be directed toward long-term impacts and design innovations that ensure maximum efficacy of these therapeutic spaces. Future work into the healing garden would focus on developing more patient-centered, restorative, and sustainable healing environments that underscore this deep connection between nature and health.

Abstract

Introduction: Musculoskeletal problems are a major cause of morbidity in the geriatric population. These issues can decrease independence, increase functional decline and mortality, and negatively affect the psychological well-being and overall quality of life of elderly individuals. Returning to full function in such cases is highly challenging and requires comprehensive management. Case: A 67-year-old married female housewife presented with sharp, localized chronic pain in her left wrist for one year. The pain was non-radiating, without any tingling sensation, and aggravated by movements such as ulnar deviation and lifting objects (pain scale: 8/10). Tenderness was observed in the lateral anatomical snuffbox of the left wrist,  with a positive Finkelstein test. The patient also experienced sharp, localized pain in her left shoulder for seven months following a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for coronary artery disease. The shoulder pain worsened with overhead activities (pain scale: 6/10) and improved with rest (pain scale: 3/10). The patient exhibited limited active range of motion (ROM) in flexion, extension, abduction, and external rotation, with positive Neer and Hawkins tests. Her metabolic equivalent of task (METs) score was 3.46, and she scored 5 on the Geriatric Depression Scale. The Barthel Index was 75, and she was diagnosed with several geriatric syndromes: instability (standing balance), impaired vision (cataract), isolation (depression), iatrogenesis (polypharmacy), and impotence (menopause). The patient had difficulties performing daily activities and participating in the community. A multimodal rehabilitation program was implemented, including therapeutic exercise, pharmacotherapy, kinesiotaping, thumb splint, physical modalities, and consultations with an internist and psychiatrist. After several sessions, the patient's pain decreased significantly to 1/10 (wrist) and 0/10 (shoulder). Active ROM improved to near normal, METs increased to 5.27, and she regained full independence in daily activities (Barthel Index 100). Discussion: Chronic musculoskeletal problems, especially when coupled with geriatric syndromes, are particularly challenging to manage. A comprehensive geriatric assessment, combined with a thorough multimodal rehabilitation approach, is key to successful outcomes. Improvements in pain, ROM, depression, and METs can lead to better functional performance, thereby reducing disability and enhancing the patient's quality of life. A supportive caregiver also plays a crucial role in achieving satisfactory results. Conclusions: This case highlights that comprehensive multimodal rehabilitation is crucial for the successful management of chronic musculoskeletal problems in the geriatric population.
