Abstract

Phototherapy is a therapeutic procedure in dermatology. Phototherapy uses certain ultraviolet wavelengths classified into 3 types,broadband UVB (BBUVB), narrowband UVB (NBUVB), and psoralen UVA (PUVA). The most widely used is NBUVB for treating psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. The mechanism of action of phototherapy is to reduce epidermal proliferation, suppress the immune system, reduce the inflammatory process, and induce repigmentation. Before starting phototherapy, the dose adjustment depends on skin type and minimal erythema dose (MED). Frequency of use is recommended based on the severity of the disease, continuously administered needed. Besides of this therapeutic effect, some contraindications and side effects that need to be considered in the use of phototherapy such as drug interactions, photoallergic and risk of skin malignancy.

Abstract

Encephalitis is an inflammatory process of the brain that attacks the central nervous system and can cause neurological dysfunction. Encephalitis is mostly caused by viruses, but in some cases the etiology is unknown. Autoimmune encephalitis occurs due to autoantibody interactions characterized by symptoms of central nervous system disorders. Clinical symptoms are quite specific, but there are criteria that must be met to make a diagnosis and additional investigations if needed. Treatment options for autoimmune encephalitis range from agents that suppress the immune system broadly to agents that specifically target antibody-mediated pathogenesis.

Abstract

Despite major advances in stroke management in the last 2 decades, stroke is still the leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Current ischemic stroke therapy aims to improve long-term outcomes in stroke patients. For this purpose, early recanalization is the only promising therapy for acute ischemic stroke. The main goal of reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke is to immediately improve blood flow (recanalization) in areas of the brain that are ischemic and have not undergone infarction. The long-term goal is to increase outcomes by reducing disability and death from stroke. The most important factor in the success of reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke is therapy as early as possible. However, selection of suitable candidates for reperfusion therapy requires neurologic evaluation and neuroimaging studies.

Abstract

Normal arteries have three layers of structure, tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. Intima tunica is the deepest layer of coronary arteries in which there are antithrombotic molecules such as heparin sulfate, thrombomodulin, and plasminogen activator. In addition, tunica intima also contains substances that regulate the contraction of tunica smooth muscle cell media, called nitric oxide (vasodilators) and prostacyclin (vasoconstrictors). Tunica intima and tunica media seem to be directly related to the atherosclerosis process. Meanwhile, the role of tunika adventisia is unknown. The accumulation of atherosclerotic lesions and hemodynamic stress factors and the degradation of extracellular matrix will cause susceptibility of atherosclerotic plaque fibrous capsules to rupture and form thrombus. Thrombus that occurs in the coronary condition causes acute coronary syndrome, characterized by typical symptoms such as chest pain depending on the thrombus formed. In studying acute coronary syndromes, of course it cannot be separated from understanding the physiology of coronary arteries and the process of atherosclerosis. Therefore, this article aims to briefly explain coronary physiology.

Abstract

Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin levels that are less than normal or anemia can cause complications in the form of fatigue and stress on the body's organs. Nutritional status is one of the factors that can affect hemoglobin levels. Measurement of nutritional status can be done through several methods including anthropometry and clinical laboratories. Among these methods, the most frequently used in the field is anthropometry using body mass index (BMI) and upper arm circumference (LLA). This study aims to determine the hemoglobin level and nutritional status of the assisted families located in Uteunkot Cunda Village, Lhokseumawe. This study is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach to determine the description of hemoglobin levels and nutritional status based on indicators of Body Mass Index and Upper Arm Circumference in the fostered family. The sampling technique used is total sampling with a total of 79 respondents. The results obtained were the average hemoglobin level of the respondents was 12.34 g/dL in the normal category. Nutritional status based on Body Mass Index, most respondents were in normal nutritional status as many as 27 respondents (34.2%). The most nutritional status based on upper arm circumference was malnutrition, namely 55 respondents (69.6%).

Abstract

The existence of human civilization cannot be separated from religion because religion is a guide in life and becomes a benchmark that regulates behavior in everyday life. With religion, a person will be able to build character and morals in living life. Because in religion there are rules and guidelines so that humans can carry out activities, behavior, and can return to God in a state of faith. Religion is a nature that develops naturally and some develop according to the will of Allah SWT. The declining physical condition makes the absorption of the elderly in receiving material in the process of religious activities also decrease. This is marked by a decrease in the sense of sight, sense of hearing, and memory of theelderly. The declining physical condition of the elderly will greatly affect the implementation of Islamic religious education activities that they follow. This factor is a natural factor that is usually experienced by the elderly, it cannot be changed because it is a destiny that must be lived. The inhibiting factors encountered in religious development at the orphanage were monotonous delivery of material, declining physical condition of the elderly, and communication barriers.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of religious development during the Covid-19 period and the difference between before and after the Covid-19 pandemic in Class II A prisons in Palembang. The research method used is field research using interview, observation, and documentation data collection techniques. The data analysis method used is the Miles and Huberman analysis method using the stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of the study revealed that the implementation of religious guidance during the Covid-19 period at the Class II A Penitentiary in Palembang was carried out virtually. For certain conditions, face-to-face meetings are also carried out but still follow health protocols. Meanwhile, the implementation of religious guidance in the period before the Covid-19 pandemic was carried out face-to-face. The practice of worship during the pandemic is not optimal because the supervisor has difficulty providing direct practice when delivering the material.
