Abstract

Introduction: Drugs prescribing is the most important skill for physicians and is strictly regulated by the government. However, factors that contribute to the drug prescribing are not determined yet. The aim of this study is to identify the possible role of physician character in drug prescribing at primary health centers (PHC).Method: A cross-sectional study was purposely done over fourteen-days at PHCs of Tangerang Districts. All prescriptions (n=2410) registered in the PHC drug-alert system (CIDIA Database) were analyzed descriptively.Result: From 2410 prescriptions registered in the PHC drug alert system, 15% prescriptions were prescribed by male physicians and 85% by the females. During the study, there were 964 drugs prescribed by 6 male physicians, 161 drugs per physician in average. There were 5584 drugs prescribed by 12 female physicians, 465 drugs per physician on average. Female physicians tended to prescribe 4 or more drugs compared to its male counterpart at 14% (p=0.006). However, there was no significant difference of drug interactions observed in the prescriptions prescribed by male or female physicians (p>0.05).Discussion: We identified that physician characteristics including gender played a significant role in the drug prescribing process especially the number of drugs prescribed. Therefore, considering gender differences in prescribing drugs may help the PHCs to improve a better management in drug safety and to comply with the government prescribing regulation.

Abstract

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most common painful condition that leading to disability and become a major public health problem. Non-specific low back pain   accounts for almost 90% of all cases. This study aims to determine the effects of land-based exercise using Documentation Based Care (DBC) Active Spine® and Hydrotherapy interventions on pain and disability due to Non-specific Low Back Pain (NLBP).Methods: A Quasi-experimental study on 24 samples obtained using a purposive sampling technique by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The first and second groups consisted of 12 samples each receiving the hydrotherapy and DBC Active Spine® intervention. Measurement of pain and disability using the VAS and MODI instruments was carried out in the first intervention and the sixth intervention. The paired sample t-test was used to see the effect of each DBC Active Spine® and Hydrotherapy intervention on pain and disability. Independent sample t-test was used to see if there was a significant difference between the two interventions in reducing pain and disability. Results: The normality and homogeneity tests showed that the data obtained were normally distributed and had a homogeneous variance. DBC Active Spine® showed significant results on VAS and MODI which p-value=0.001 (the mean changes in VAS and MODI were 2.58 ± 0.90 and 13.33 ± 11.82, respectively). Hydrotherapy intervention showed statistically significant in VAS and MODI with p-values of 0.002 and 0.001 respectively (the mean changes in VAS and MODI were 2.33 ± 0.98 and 27.83 ± 9.00). Independent Sample T-Test showed insignificant results. The mean difference in VAS was 0.25 ± 0.38 (p-value 0.752), while the mean difference in MODI was 14.5 ± 4.3 ( p-value 0.277). Conclusion: DBC Active Spine® and Hydrotherapy interventions have a significant effect on reducing pain and disability in NLBP patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the two interventions.

Abstract

Remdesivir and Favipiravir have been widely used as antiviral agents in treating COVID-19. However, studies providing head on comparison of treatment outcomes between the two antiviruses are rare. The aim of this study is to compare the treatment outcome of Remdesivir and Favipiravir in moderate symptoms COVID-19. Subjects were divided into two groups based on received antivirus during COVID-19 treatment in the hospital, Remdesivir group and Favipiravir group. Post-treatment outcome was measured with three indicators: symptom improvement, negative conversion of RT-PCR, and radiological improvement. Outcomes of both groups were compared with chi square test with Remdesivir serves as a risk factor and Favipiravir as control. Out of a total of 130 subjects, 65 received Remdesivir, and 65 received Favipiravir. Post-treatment RT-PCR and radiologic examination were performed on a median of Day-10 hospitalization. RT-PCR conversion to negative was significantly more likely in Remdesivir group (RR: 1,917, 95% Cl 1,044 – 3,518, p = 0.047, chi square test). There was no significant difference between Remdesivir group and Favipiravir group in symptom improvement on Day-5 (RR 0.941, 95% Cl 0.776 – 1,141), nor Day-7 (RR 1.020, 95% Cl 0.855 – 1.216). There was also no significant difference in radiological improvement (RR 0.855, 95% Cl 0.712 – 1.026). Administering remdesivir to COVID-19 patients significantly increased the occurrence of negative RT-PCR conversion after therapy compared to standard favipiravir therapy.

Abstract

Background: A stroke is a brain dysfunction in the form of nerve insufficiency caused by a disruption of blood flow to part of the brain. Stroke is divided into two types, namely ischemic and hemorrhagic type. Ischemic stroke or non-hemorrhagic stroke is an acute disease whose time of onset of symptoms determines the patient's survival prognosis. It will often cause cerebral infarction. The government of the Republic of Indonesia found that stroke patients, especially ischemic strokes in Indonesia, were still predominantly male, with a rate of 50,1%. This problem could be due to a more carefree lifestyle and a heavier workload. The stroke rate is very high and has increased dramatically, especially in patients >50 years of age. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional observational study. The study sample was obtained by a consecutive sampling of up to 105 study data samples taken from the medical record data. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analyses with Chi-Square tests. Results: Based on a sample of 105 patients, with an age range between 60-70 years old the following results Relationship of Prevalence of Hemiparesis in Ischemic Stroke Patients by Gender to Blood Pressure (P=0,312), Age (P=0,591) and Nutritional Status (P=0,760).Conclusion: No statistically significant relationship was found between stroke risk factors in blood pressure, age, and nutritional status with hemiparesis rates in geriatric ischemic stroke patients at the Medical Rehabilitation Clinic in Fatmawati Central General Hospital, Jakarta.

Abstract

Introduction: Prostate cancer is a well-recognized medical problem accounting for the most diagnosed type of cancer in men. The importance of early detection and its improved survival rate have motivated research on the best cancer detection method. Consequently, computer-aided diagnosis was introduced; however, more datasets are needed, and more testing and trials are required to reach a feasible and reliable diagnostic method. In this study, we use MRI T2 WI and ADC-map sequences to build a classifier to differentiate between clinically significant and insignificant prostate lesions. Material and Methods: Haralick’s first and second order statistical features were extracted from pathologically proven prostate lesions found in The Cancer Imaging Archive open data source. We used the WEKA platform for data analysis, including 152 lesions divided into 70% training set and 30% testing set. Results: The proposed classifier showed sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, and AUROC of 82.6%, 87%, 84.4%, and 92.6%, respectively. Conclusions: The proposed classifier does not require a high-end computer, outperforms many previous classifiers, and has the potential to discriminate clinically significant from insignificant prostate lesions.

Abstract

Background: Retinal disorders are the fourth most common cause of blindness in Indonesia and one of them is retinal detachment. Vitrectomy with silicone oil (SO) tamponade is a popular technique for treating it. As a complication of using SO, intraocular pressure (IOP) can increase and usually returns to normal after evacuation of SO. However, in some conditions, such as emulsifying SO, can cause IOP to remain high even after SO evacuation has been carried out.Objective: To determine the comparison of intraocular pressure before and after evacuation of silicone oil in patients with a history of retinal detachment.Method: This study is a cross sectional with analytical reasearch. Secondary data was taken from the medical records of patients with a history of retinal detachment who underwent silicone oil evacuation performed at KMJA Jakarta Hospital.Result: 39 Respondents aged 23-69 years and 82% are male. The average length of use of SO is 9 months. It was found that the IOP decreased which was not significant in weeks 1-2 after evacuation of SO (p value 0.098) and also the increase in IOP was not significant in weeks 3-4 after evacuation of SO (p value 0.184).Conclusion: There is no significant difference in intraocular pressure before and after evacuation of silicone oil in patients with a history of retinal detachment

Abstract

Background.The Mabrur hajj is the goal of carrying out hajj. Hajj pilgrims during the hajj journey are expected to have physical readiness besides financial and security. Health problems while in Mecca such as: congested congregation, population diversity, climate, and far from health facilities arises the possibility of various infections and non-infections. One of the physical readings is through the consumption of nutrients during the Hajj pilgrimage. This study analyzes the understanding of nutritional needs for health during the pilgrimage journey of IndonesiaMethods. The design of this study was conducted descriptively observing a quantitative approach by filling out a questionnaire. The number of respondents who filled out the questionnaire reached 231 people with the following profiles: 66% women; 71% of the productive age is 25-50 years.Results:There are 71% of respondents consuming food with incomplete nutritional composition at every meal. However, most of the nutritional composition consumed and needed has been fulfilled. There are only a few types of fruit that are less liked because they are not accustomed to the tongue of the pilgrims. There are 55% pilgrims who prepare their own supplements and medicinesConclusion: This shows the awareness of pilgrims to the need for macronutrients and micronutrients during the pilgrimage. It is necessary to educate the benefits of nutrition need to be done to reduce immunity, energy needs, physical health and religious approaches.

Abstract

Background: Silicone oil is an artificial liquid that functions as a tamponade agent in vitreoretinal surgery. One disadvantage of using silicone oil is that it needs advanced procedures for oil evacuation because it is not absorbed spontaneously by the retina. This evacuation is recommended as soon as the retina heals to prevent complications such as pupil block and glaucoma secondary to silicone oil (SO) emulsification and causing increased intraocular pressure (IOP).  The recommended time for SO evacuation is the first 3-6 months after surgery. The aims of this study is to determine the relationship between increased IOP and duration of use of tamponade SO.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design by taking secondary data on retinal detachment history patients who underwent silicone oil evacuation at KMJA Hospital Jakarta from January 2019 to November 2021.Results: Respondents were 39 patients with an age range of 23-69 years and 71,8% were male. The average duration of use of SO is 9 months. In weeks 3-4 after the SO evacuation, data on the number of eyes with high IOP have obtained from as many as 9 eyes and 6 of them had used tamponade SO for more than 6 months with a p-value of 0.153.Conclusion: There was no significant association between the duration of SO tamponade use and increased IOP after SO evacuation.
