Abstract

Background: Body image issues can be a problem for undergraduate female college students. It happened because women pay more attention to their physical appearance than men. In addition, the ages of undergraduate female college students are generally in the young adult age range, where young adult women are found to often experience problems related to body image. Furthermore, some characteristics of campus life may cause female students to be more susceptible to body image concerns. This study aimed to describe the body image in preclinical female students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta. Methodology: This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach that applied to preclinical female students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta, which was selected using the cluster random sampling method. Data were collected by looking at respondents' answers to The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) questionnaire to assess the body. Results: In this study, 120 respondents were collected from the class of 2018, 2019, and 2020 with the age range of 18-22 years. Based on the results of this study, it is known that the majority of research respondents have a negative body image (58.33%). Conclusion: The majority of research respondents have a negative body image (58.33%).

Abstract

Background: Ramadan fasting is one of five pillars of Islam. Fasting is to refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise (sahur) to sunset (ifthar). Ramadan fasting has been shown to impact on body systems in different manners. One of the benefits of Ramadan fasting is protection against oxidative stress and cellular damage. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a product of free radicals (hydroxil radicals) with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) produced from lipid peroxidation of cell membranes. This paper aims to determine the effect of Ramadan fasting on serum MDA levels.Methods:  The design of this study is quasiexperimental with one group pre and post design. The sample of this study was 16 preclinical students of FK UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta who performed Ramadan fasting for 17 consecutive days. Blood samples were taken 1 day before Ramadan fasting and 18 days of Ramadan fasting to measure serum MDA levels. The study was conducted in the biochemical laboratory of FK UIN Syarif Hidayatullah.Results: The mean serum MDA levels before fasting was 0.90 ± 0.54 nmol/mL. The median value of serum MDA levels after fasting was 0.43 nmol/mL, with a range between 0.03 - 2.75 nmol/mL. Ramadan fasting decreases serum MDA levels, but the decrease that occurs on the 17th day of Ramadan fasting was not significant (p> 0.05). There was an increase in serum MDA levels in 4 subjects (25%) after Ramadan fasting.Conclusion: Ramadan fasting can reduce serum MDA levels as a marker of oxidative stress and cell damage. Further study is needed to investigate the various results in serum MDA levels after fasting.

Abstract

Background : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease associated with joint cartilage damage that usually occurs in the aging process. This study is to analyze the correlation between physical activity, body composition, and the micronutrients intake such as vitamin C, D, E, and Calsium the patients with knee OA at the Medical Rehabilitation Clinic (MRC) at Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta in 2021.Methods: This is a cross sectional quantitative research. The samples were 45 patients who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis in outpatient medical rehabilitation clinic at Fatmawati General Hospital Jakarta who met the inclusion criteria.Results : the results of statistical tests showed that there was a significant difference in the average percentage of body fat with the gradation of OA patients, p value = 0.004. However, there was no significant difference between the average physical activity score, and intake of macronutrients (energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates), BCAAs (arginine and histidine), and intake of micronutrients (vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin D, vitamin E and Calcium)Conclusion: Percent body fat is the variable with the highest correlation among other factors.

Abstract

Background: Diagnosing Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), particularly critical CHD in newborns, could be difficult but crucial, since the field of congenital heart surgery has shifted from initial palliation followed by final correction at a later age to stressing early repair even in the youngest individuals. Although echocardiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing CHD, simple clinical examination may be helpful in screening neonates who require further investigation and treatment. In this study, we searched and reviewed the literature on clinical screening for CHD using a simple, affordable tool that is readily available in primary health care facilities, to prove that early simple clinical examination would help physician to screen for asymptomatic CHD.Methods: We searched articles on google scholars that discuss clinical screening of CHD in neonates. Inclusion criteria is articles published within five years and exclusion criteria is articles published older than five years.Results: We found five articles eligible and pick consecutively. We found that pulse oximetry sensitivity and specificity ranged from 21.54%-77.3% and 82.65%-99.9%, respectively. Cardiac auscultation with murmur of grade ≥2 as count as positive, having high range of sensitivity and specificity, with sensitivity ranged from 17.3%-89.58% and specificity ranged from 47.36%-99.69%. When pulse oximetry and cardiac auscultation combined, three studies found that the sensitivity and specificity increased dramatically, 89.9%-95.5%, 94.7%-99.37%, respectively. Conclusion: Both cardiac auscultation and pulse oximetry was an easy, feasible method with readily available basic tools at all hospital with acceptable sensitivity and specificity to screening CHD before suspected neonates undergo echocardiography, therefore making CHD diagnosed more effective and efficient.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has impacted patients with non-communicable diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The impacts include health services, treatment management, and patients' health-seeking behavior. This study aims to determine the DM patients' health-seeking behavior in the Salem sub-district, Brebes district, Central Java.Methods: This research was a qualitative descriptive study conducted cross-sectionally using a survey. The purposive sampling technique was employed to obtain the data with a total sample of 106 respondents.Results: Most DM patients still visited health facilities during the pandemic (73%). Some efforts to control DM were regularly taking medication (27.7%) and maintaining a healthy diet (34%). However, most respondents stated that they have uncontrolled blood glucose levels (54.7%). During the pandemic, respondents communicated with health workers (75.5%), via telephone (64.2%), and through messaging applications (45.3%). In addition, they search information, especially when they felt symptoms (90.6%), and tried to find information about complications due to the coronavirus (68.9%) with the source from health workers (94.3%). Most respondents had good access (99.1%).Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted changes in DM patients' health-seeking behavior through all aspects. This study shows that most respondents visited health facilities, made efforts to control DM by taking the medication regularly and maintaining a healthy diet, and had high adherence to medication. In addition, respondents had an easy access to health information and communicate with health workers via telephone and messaging applications. The majority of respondents sought information about diabetes and its relationship with COVID-19 during the pandemic.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease influenced by complex genetic and environmental factors. At least 27 gene polymorphisms have been identified that are associated with caries risk. Polymorphisms of genes encoding taste receptors, such as the TAS1R2 gene, can cause individual differences in perception and sensitivity to sweet tastes. Research shows that the TAS1R2 gene polymorphism is associated with the consumption of sweet foods, which affects increasing caries risk. This study aims to determine the relationship between the TAS1R2 gene rs35874116 polymorphism and the caries index in Tangerang Selatan population. Methods: This study is observational with a cross-sectional method involving 266 research subjects (45 males and 221 females; 20-55 years). DNA was extracted from venous blood using the Genomic DNA Mini Kit from Geneaid and the genotyping process using the rhAmp-SNP assay kit, which was analyzed using RT-PCR. Dental caries was assessed by calculating D(decayed), M(missing), and F(filled) on permanent teeth. The hypothesis between the TAS1R2 genotype and the DMF-T index was tested using the Mann-Whitney test, while the comparison between the TAS1R2 genotype and caries risk was tested using Kruskal-Wallis' test. The results of the study were considered significant if p<0.05. Results: The minor allele frequency was 16.5%. The proportion of TT, TC, and CC genotypes were 71.%, 24.1%, and 4.5%, respectively. According to WHO classification, the DMF-T index of all research subjects was 5.62, a high category. The group of subjects with the CC genotype had a higher DMF-T index (7.08; very high) than the group of subjects with the CT genotype (6.05; high) and TT (5.38; high). CT and TT genotypes with high risk were significantly lower than those with low-moderate caries risk. Conclusion: there is no significant association between the TAS1R2 gene polymorphism rs35874116 with the caries index value in the people in South Tangerang.
