Abstract

Fever is a common symptom in infants, often causing distress to both the child and caregivers. While pharmacological interventions like acetaminophen are widely used, concerns about potential side effects and the growing interest in natural remedies have led to a resurgence in exploring traditional practices. The use of shallot poultice for fever management has been documented in various cultures, but its efficacy and safety require rigorous scientific evaluation. This study aimed to investigate the antipyretic effect of shallot poultice in infants and contribute to evidence-based decision-making in pediatric fever management. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted. Infants aged 0-12 months presenting with fever (≥37.5°C) at a primary healthcare center were recruited. Eligible infants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (receiving shallot poultice application) or the control group (receiving standard care). The primary outcome was the change in body temperature after 30 minutes of intervention. Secondary outcomes included parental satisfaction and adverse events. A total of 60 infants were enrolled (30 per group). The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in body temperature compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Parental satisfaction was high in both groups, with no significant difference observed. No adverse events related to the shallot poultice were reported. Shallot poultice appears to be a safe and effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing fever in infants. These findings support the potential integration of this traditional practice into holistic fever management strategies. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects.

Abstract

Hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, poses a significant health challenge, particularly among the elderly. The "GAME BUSRI" intervention, promoting celery leaf consumption, offers a promising complementary therapy for blood pressure management. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this community-based intervention in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive elderly individuals in Purwakarta, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed. Participants were recruited from the community and assigned to either the intervention group (receiving daily celery leaf decoction and health education) or the control group (receiving health education only). Blood pressure measurements were taken at baseline and after the 8-week intervention period. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to the control group. The mean reduction in systolic blood pressure was 11.33 mmHg (p < 0.001), and the mean reduction in diastolic blood pressure was 8.67 mmHg (p < 0.001). No adverse events were reported. The "GAME BUSRI" intervention effectively reduced blood pressure in hypertensive elderly individuals. This community-based approach, utilizing a readily available and culturally acceptable resource, holds promise for improving hypertension management and reducing cardiovascular risk in this population.

Abstract

The PROLANIS program in Indonesia aims to manage chronic diseases like hypertension. While combination antihypertensive therapy is recommended for many patients, evidence on its effectiveness in the PROLANIS setting remains limited. This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of single versus combination antihypertensive therapy in achieving blood pressure control among PROLANIS hypertension patients in Purbalingga Regency. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from PROLANIS hypertension patients in Purbalingga Regency from January-December 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups: those receiving single antihypertensive therapy and those receiving combination therapy. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving blood pressure control (<140/90 mmHg). Secondary outcomes included changes in blood pressure, medication adherence, and adverse events. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders. A total of 1,250 patients were included, with 680 receiving single therapy and 570 receiving combination therapy. The proportion of patients achieving blood pressure control was significantly higher in the combination therapy group (65%) compared to the single therapy group (52%) (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-2.20). Combination therapy was also associated with greater reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. No significant differences were observed in medication adherence or adverse events between the two groups. Combination antihypertensive therapy is more effective than single therapy in achieving blood pressure control among PROLANIS hypertension patients in Purbalingga Regency. These findings support the use of combination therapy as the preferred approach for managing hypertension in this population.

Abstract

Neonatal asphyxia remains a significant contributor to neonatal mortality and morbidity globally. Identifying maternal and neonatal predictors of asphyxia is crucial for developing targeted interventions to improve neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association between various maternal and neonatal factors and the occurrence of asphyxia in newborns at Salatiga Regional General Hospital. A case-control study was conducted at Salatiga Regional General Hospital from January 1st to December 31st, 2023. Cases were newborns diagnosed with asphyxia based on an Apgar score ≤ 6 at 5 minutes. Controls were newborns without asphyxia. Data on maternal factors (premature rupture of membranes, mode of delivery, maternal age, parity, and gravidity) and neonatal factors (birth weight and gestational age) were collected from medical records. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the associations between these factors and asphyxia. The study included 234 newborns (117 cases and 117 controls). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between asphyxia and premature rupture of membranes (p = 0.027), mode of delivery (p = 0.000), birth weight (p = 0.000), and gestational age (p = 0.000). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the mode of delivery (OR = 83.468, 95% CI: 18.624-374.079) and birth weight (OR = 69.576, 95% CI: 8.781-551.277) as independent predictors of asphyxia. Cesarean section and low birth weight are significant predictors of neonatal asphyxia. These findings highlight the importance of careful consideration of delivery mode and close monitoring of newborns with low birth weight to prevent and manage asphyxia effectively.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a major global health concern, particularly in Indonesia where it's the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Early detection through breast self-examination (BSE) is crucial for improving survival rates. This study aimed to identify predictors of BSE behavior among women in Bukittinggi, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 151 women in Bukittinggi. Data was collected using a questionnaire assessing BSE behavior, knowledge, attitudes, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and sociodemographic factors. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of BSE behavior. The prevalence of regular BSE practice was low (21.2%). Factors significantly associated with increased BSE practice included higher knowledge scores (OR=1.12, p=0.03), positive attitudes (OR=2.31, p=0.01), lower perceived barriers (OR=0.87, p=0.04), and higher self-efficacy (OR=1.28, p=0.02). The study highlights the need for interventions to promote BSE practice in Bukittinggi. Strategies should focus on improving knowledge, addressing negative attitudes and perceived barriers, and enhancing self-efficacy.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid vaccine development, with mRNA vaccines (Moderna or Pfizer) emerging as frontrunners. While effective, concerns arose regarding their impact on blood pressure (BP), particularly in hypertensive individuals, a population already at increased cardiovascular risk. The study aimed to investigate the effects of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on BP in hypertensive patients. A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Mrebet Community Health Center. Data from hypertensive patients receiving the second dose of either Moderna or Pfizer vaccine were analyzed. Pre- and post-vaccination BP readings, patient demographics, medication profiles, and hypertension severity were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate changes in BP and identify potential associations. The study included 33 hypertensive patients (mean age: 55.2 years, 84.8% female). The majority (84.8%) received the Moderna vaccine. Pre- and post-vaccination BP readings showed a slight increase in systolic BP (133 mmHg to 137 mmHg) and a minor decrease in diastolic BP (85 mmHg to 84 mmHg). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between vaccination and changes in diastolic BP (p < 0.05), but not systolic BP (p > 0.05). In conclusion, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may have a modest impact on BP in hypertensive patients, particularly on diastolic BP. The clinical significance of these changes warrants further investigation. Close monitoring of BP in hypertensive individuals post-vaccination is recommended.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and debilitating condition with diverse clinical presentations and etiologies. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the current literature on the clinical characteristics and diagnostic imaging findings associated with LBP, providing a comprehensive overview of this multifaceted condition. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted, encompassing studies published between 2018 and 2023. Studies reporting on clinical characteristics (pain location, duration, severity, radiation, associated symptoms) and diagnostic imaging findings (X-ray, CT, MRI) in LBP patients were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Twenty studies, with a total of 9,232 patients, were included. The most common clinical presentation was localized LBP (85%), followed by pain duration of less than 3 months (60%) and moderate pain severity (55%). Radicular pain and neurological deficits were reported in a significant minority of patients (20% and 15%, respectively). The most frequent imaging finding was degenerative changes (40-70%), followed by disc herniation (20-35%) and spondylolisthesis (5-12%). Other less frequent findings included spinal stenosis, compression fractures, and tumors. This review highlights the heterogeneity of clinical presentations and imaging findings in LBP. While localized LBP is predominant, a substantial proportion of patients experience radicular pain and neurological deficits. Degenerative changes are the most frequent imaging finding, followed by disc herniation. The choice of imaging modality should be guided by clinical presentation and suspected etiology.

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains a significant public health concern in tropical regions, including Bali, Indonesia. Understanding the patient demographics, clinical presentations, and laboratory findings associated with DHF is crucial for effective disease management and control. This study aimed to investigate these aspects in patients hospitalized with DHF at Wangaya Regional General Hospital in Bali. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, analyzing medical records of patients diagnosed with DHF between January and June 2024. Data collected included demographics, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, disease severity, and hospital stay duration. Descriptive statistics and comparative analyses were performed. A total of 410 patients were included, with a male predominance (54.9%). The most affected age group was 18-25 years (43.2%). Common clinical manifestations included fever (100%), headache (83.6%), myalgia (74%), and nausea/vomiting (56.3%). Laboratory findings revealed thrombocytopenia (45.4% with platelet count <50,000/µL), leukopenia (74.3%), and elevated hematocrit (29.6%). Most patients presented with DHF grade I (65.1%), followed by grade II (31.7%). The median hospital stay was 4 days. DHF in Bali predominantly affects young adults, with males being more susceptible. The clinical presentation is characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are common laboratory findings. The majority of patients experience mild to moderate disease severity. These findings contribute to a better understanding of DHF in Bali and can inform targeted public health interventions.

Abstract

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is critical for reducing infant mortality and improving child health outcomes. Midwives play a crucial role in promoting and supporting EIBF. This study investigated EIBF practices in Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh, Indonesia, focusing on the factors associated with midwives' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding EIBF. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 midwives in Bener Meriah Regency. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included items on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to EIBF. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The majority of midwives (87.3%) had good knowledge about EIBF. However, only 62.7% of midwives reported always assisting mothers with EIBF within one hour of birth. Factors significantly associated with midwives' EIBF practices included their age, years of experience, and place of work (urban vs. rural). While midwives in Bener Meriah Regency generally possess adequate knowledge about EIBF, there is a need to improve their practices in assisting mothers with EIBF, especially in rural areas. Targeted interventions, such as training programs and supportive supervision, are necessary to enhance midwives' skills and confidence in promoting and supporting EIBF.

Abstract

Norwegian scabies, also known as crusted scabies, is an uncommon but highly contagious skin disease caused by an infestation of the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by extensive crusting and scaling of the skin, often accompanied by intense itching. Norwegian scabies is typically seen in individuals with weakened immune systems or those who are unable to care for themselves properly. We reported a case of Norwegian scabies in a 33-year-old mother and her 9-month-old baby. The mother's symptoms began during her third trimester of pregnancy, and the baby became infected a few months after birth. Both patients presented with generalized pruritus and characteristic skin lesions. The baby was also found to be severely malnourished. In conclusion, this case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of Norwegian scabies, especially in vulnerable populations. Prompt and effective management can prevent complications and improve the quality of life for affected individuals.
