Abstract

Background: During young adulthood, individuals are forced to encounter countless and overwhelming challenges and responsibilities. Individuals are very prone during this period due to the fluctuation in self-esteem. Low self-esteem might significantly impact individuals as they could perceive challenges as distress, putting them at an increased risk of harming physical or mental health.Objective: To examine the relationship between self-esteem and stress levels among final year medical students, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University.  Methods: This research is an observational analytic correlational study with a cross-sectional design. Samples were obtained by total sampling method involving final year medical students, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University (Class of 2018). Self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES), and stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) that had been tested valid and reliable. Data were analyzed using Spearman and Lambda Correlation Tests.Results: There were 226 subjects involved in this research. Most subjects had high self-esteem (69,5%) and moderate level of stress (67,3%). Demographic factors (gender, residency status, academic achievement and economic status) were not significantly associated with self-esteem and stress levels. However, there was a significant relationship (p=0.000) between self-esteem and stress levels with moderate negative correlation (r=-0.385).Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between self-esteem and stress levels.

Abstract

Background: Renal atheroembolism is an under-recognized cause of renal failure . Atheroembolism is caused by cholesterol crystals from ulcerated atherosclerotic plaques and is influenced by inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. The formation of complicated atherosclerotic lesions is a prerequisite for the development of cholesterol crystal emboli. Non-pharmacological therapeutic management (such as diet and physical exercise) is an important factor in preventing and reducing the risk of atherogenesis. Garcinia Mangostana Linn pericarp can inhibit the process of atherosclerosis through the reduction of free radicals and improvement of endothelial function Objective: To investigate the effect of Garcinia Mangostana Linn Pericarp administration along with Physical Exercise on the histopathologic features of renal atheroembolism in Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome. Methods: This study is a true experimental study with research subjects in the form of male Rattus norvegicus Wistar rats which were randomly divided into 3 groups. K (not given therapy), P1 (garcinia pericarp extract 800 mg / kg / day with physical exercise), and P2 (nanoemulsion 50 mg / kg / time of administration with physical exercise). Results: In the group treated with garcinia pericarp extract 800 mg/kg bw/day with physical exercise and the group with nanoemulsion 50 mg/kg bw/day with physical exercise, there were no fatty streaks, inflammation, and impaired myocyte coherence. There was 0-5% fibrous connective tissue, one layer of foam cell layer and myocyte-lipid, no cholesterol crystal embolism was found. Conclusion: The administration of Garcinia Mangostana Linn pericarp extract and/or nanoemulsion with physical exercise can have an effect on the histopathological picture of the kidneys of Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome. There was no difference in effect between the two treatments. However, it could not be compared with the group that was not given any treatment because it had died completely before the end of the study period.

Abstract

Background: Self-esteem is an evaluation of oneself that can be positive or negative. Self-esteem affects the way individuals value and views themselves and others. Self-esteem increases gradually during young adulthood. On the other hand, anxiety disorders are also prone to occur during this time. Individuals with low self-esteem arefound to often experience symptoms of anxiety.Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-esteem and anxiety levels among final year medical students, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University.Methods: This research is a correlational analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. Total sampling was used in this research involving final year medical students, Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University (Class of 2018). Self-esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES), and anxiety levels were assessed using the Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS) that had been tested valid and reliable. Data were analyzed using Spearman and Lambda Correlation Tests.Results: There were 226 respondents involved in this study. The majority of respondents had high self-esteem (69.5%) and a mild level of anxiety (84.1%). Gender was known to affect the level of anxiety (p=0.026) but not self-esteem. Academic achievement and residency status was known not to affect self-esteem and anxiety levels. There was a significant relationship (p=0.000) between self-esteem and anxiety levels with a moderate negative correlation (r=-0.289).Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between self-esteem and anxiety levels.

Abstract

Background: Infectious diseases are still an important issue for Indonesia. One of the opportunistic bacteria that causes various infectious diseases is Staphylococcus aureus. There is a need for new alternative treatments that have the same high potential as antibiotics. Bajakah wood (Spatholobus sp.) is a plant that grows abundantly in the tropical forests of Central Kalimantan. This plant has the potential antibacterial potential because it contains secondary metabolite compounds, namely alkaloids, tannins and glycosides.Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Bajakah wood (Spatholobus sp.) on the growth of S. aureus ATCC 25923 bacteria through antimicrobe sensitivity test.Methods: In this study, three different methods were used, the disc method, the well method and the Whatman paper method using a concentration of 5%; 15%; 25%; 50% and 100% extract.Results: The results showed that the ethanol extract of Bajakah Wood (Spatholobus sp.) had antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923 at the lowest concentration, namely 5%. The disk method obtained an average inhibition zone of 11.1 mm, the well method obtained an average inhibition zone of 16.8 mm and the Whatman paper method obtained an average inhibition zone of 10.8 mm.Conclusion: From this study, the ethanol extract of Bajakah wood (Spatholobus sp.) has antibacterial potential against S. aureus bacteria with its secondary metabolite compounds.

Abstract

Background: Currently, cataract surgery is categorized into two main techniques: phacoemulsification and femtosecond-laser-assisted-cataract-surgery (FLACS)..Objective: The objective of this study was to present a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the single-handed coaxial phacoemulsification technique used in cataract surgery.Methods: The study conducted a systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases. The participants included in our study were individuals diagnosed with simple cataract. These individuals had treatment using either single-handed or two-handed phacoemulsification or FLACS techniques. Publications predating the year 2000 were omitted from consideration. The abstracts of the publications were analyzed utilizing the PRISMA diagram, and those deemed to be somewhat and highly pertinent were incorporated. In total, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on six research, consisting of two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and four non-randomized controlled trials (nonRCTs).Results: The visual acuity (VA) shown a statistically significant improvement in the single-handed group compared to the two-handed group at the one-week postoperative assessment (p<0.05). However, this difference was not observed at the one-month and three-month postoperative assessments.  The single-handed group had a smaller angle of error (AE) compared to the two-handed group (p=0.005). Additionally, another study observed an improvement in visual acuity (VA) in individuals who underwent single-handed, two-handed group, and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). However, the study did not identify any statistically significant variations in VA improvement across the three groups. There was no statistically significant difference observed among the three groups in relation to ECL and CCT. The intraoperative phacoparameter exhibited a statistically significant decrease in the single-handed group (P<0.01) compared to the two-handed group, while it did not differ substantially from the femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) group.Conclusion: When comparing the two-handed phacoemulsification technique to FLACS, it was observed that a single-handed method exhibited a reduced angle of error, minimized corneal damage, and exhibited early visual outcomes.
