Abstract

Background: MRSA is the leading cause of death caused by antimicrobial resistance. The distribution of MRSA occurs globally, and the incidence rate is around 30 per 100,000 people per year. Cloves had antimicrobial properties that were tested in both resistant and susceptible clones. Purpose: To determine the growth inhibition effect of clove flower ethanol extract on the growth of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methods: This research uses an experimental design. Clove extract will be analyzed using gas mass chromatography-spectrometry (GC-MS). MSSA isolate was taken from S.aureus ATCC 25913, and MRSA  was taken from nasal swabs. The concentrations of the ethanol extract of cloves used are 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. All ethanol extract concentrations from cloves will be tested using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. The magnitude of the barrier zone determines the antibacterial properties. Results: The results of the GC-MS analysis showed three main antibacterial compounds, including eugenol, phenol, and caryophyllene. The average inhibitory zones of the antibacterial test at concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% clove flower ethanol extract against MSSA were 16 mm, 16.33 mm, 17.67 mm, 18.33 mm, and 18.33 mm, respectively. The results of the average calculation of the inhibition zone in MRSA according to each concentration of clove flower ethanol extract were 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14.33 mm, and 15.67 mm. Conclusion: Cloves have antibacterial properties, as confirmed by studies showing a zero zone in the MSSA and MRSA antibacterial sensitivity test, with the best concentration being 100% ethanol extract. The study's results show that the antibacterial effect of cloves affects MSSA more than MRSA.

Abstract

Background: Clinical reasoning (CR) is essential for all doctors, enabling them to manage patient problems effectively. Poor CR ability can lead to medical errors. The medical study program at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta (MP-UMJ), has introduced an innovative CR learning method, Clinical Reasoning in Large Class (CRILC). However, there is a lack of research on the perceptions of MP-UMJ students regarding this learning method. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and present the perceptions of MP-UMJ medical students regarding CRILC. Methods: This research used a mixed method with a concurrent study design. The research was conducted in October-November 2023 among students of the Medical Study Program, University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta. Secondary data obtained from the student questionnaire survey regarding the CRILC evaluation held by the lecturer in charge of the block is used in this research. A total of 100 sample answers were taken for analysis. Quantitative data was processed using SPSS and NVivo12 for the qualitative data. Results: The study revealed a positive perception among MP-UMJ medical students towards CRILC, highlighting its effectiveness and potential for broader adoption. Positive perception was obtained regarding students' impressions and benefits after participating in CRILC. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is the method that most helps students participate in CRILC. Determining patient assessment is the most frequently experienced difficulty during CRILC. Most students think that the CRILC method has been implemented well. Conclusion: MP-UMJ medical students have a positive perception of the CRILC.

Abstract

Background: Scarlet fever is an infection of toxin-producing Group A Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) bacteria, usually presenting as a tonsillopharyngitis with spreading maculopapular rash originating from the trunk. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported multiple outbreaks in multiple countries in recent years. It most commonly affects school-age and adolescent children. It has a good overall prognosis with proper antibiotic treatment and well-documented complications. Case Report: We present a case of a 12-year-old boy with typical manifestations of scarlet fever, but with abnormally elevated liver enzymes, suggesting a possible hepatic involvement with this disease. Hepatitis secondary to scarlet fever has been reported previously, though it remains rare, especially in pediatric patients. But even so, it has been recognized as a benign entity. The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying these two diseases remain poorly understood. Conclusion: This case is reported to raise awareness among healthcare providers of this rare but important complication of scarlet fever.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia had 842,000 new TB cases and 116,400 TB deaths in 2018, including TB-HIV cases. TB-HIV co-infection remains a major health concern. Objective: To compare the duration of treatment of drug-sensitive tuberculosis in patients with and without HIV at Jakarta Cempaka Putih Islamic Hospital, Jakarta Sukapura Islamic Hospital, and Jakarta Pondok Kopi Islamic Hospital for the period September 2022 to September 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a total sampling technique was conducted on 82 patients. The analysis used an independent T-test to compare treatment duration. Results: Of the 105 patients, 15 had drug-sensitive tuberculosis with HIV and 90 without HIV. The majority of patients were men (66 samples), with the largest age group being 35-44 years old. No significant difference in treatment duration was found between drug-sensitive tuberculosis patients with and without HIV (p= 0.569). Conclusions: Comparison of the duration of treatment for drug-sensitive TB patients with and without HIV was the same, and there was no significant difference.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains among the top ten leading causes of death globally. Sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, TB type, and history of contact with TB patients are established risk factors for TB incidence. Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify the characteristics of pulmonary TB patients at Wangaya Regional General Hospital in 2023. Methods: A total sampling approach was utilized. Inclusion criteria comprised patients aged 15 years or older diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis at Wangaya Regional General Hospital in 2023. Patients with damaged or unreadable medical records were excluded. Results: Among 133 TB patients, drug-sensitive tuberculosis (DS-TB) was identified in 117 patients (88%), while drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) was found in 16 patients (12%). The majority of DS-TB cases occurred in individuals of productive age (60.2%), male (66.9%), employed in the private sector (76.7%), with low educational attainment (96.6%), a history of contact with TB patients (37.6%), newly diagnosed cases (34.6%), and HIV as the most common comorbidity (14.3%). Among DR-TB cases, most patients were in the productive age group (81.3%), male (75%), private sector workers (75%), with low educational attainment (100%), a history of contact (43.8%), newly diagnosed cases (62.5%), and type 2 diabetes mellitus as the most common comorbidity (31.3%). Conclusion: In 2023, the majority of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant pulmonary TB cases at Wangaya Regional General Hospital occurred in productive-age patients, predominantly male, employed in the private sector, with low educational attainment, positive contact history, and classified as new cases.
