Abstract

Background: High morbidity and mortality rates in pediatric patients indicate the necessity of a Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) capable of early clinical deterioration identification and providing an opportunity for healthcare professionals to promptly manage patients. This study aimed to serve as foundational data and as an evaluative tool to enhance the proficiency of healthcare workers in assessing patient deterioration. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive method with a cross-sectional design and consecutive sampling technique who were treated from January to December 2022.   Results: there were 119 samples, the majority of gender was male (54.6%), the majority of the age group was 1-4 years old (37.8%), and the majority of the disease group was infection (31.1%). Both male and female majority had green PEWS (54.6%) and (45.4%), the majority of patients with an age range of 1 month to 5 years had red PEWS, the majority of infectious disease group had green PEWS, and the majority of patients with green PEWS had discharge outcome.   Conclusion: This study provides an overview of characteristics in pediatric patients and shows the majority of pediatric emergency department patients come with non-emergency conditions.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a global health problem that attacks 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years. Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥ 90 mmHg. Calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI) is a method for determining nutritional status in adults. An increase in the BMI value is followed by an increase in blood pressure, thus increasing the chance of developing hypertension as well as the degree of hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and the degree of hypertension in hypertensive sufferers at Prof. Chairuddin P. Lubis Hospital Medan. Method: This research uses a cross-sectional design and descriptive-analytical research methods. The samples for this study are 84 people obtained from secondary data of medical records and used simple random sampling techniques. The collected data is analyzed by a statistical program using the Fisher-Exact test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Most hypertension degrees are hypertension stage 2 and the classification of BMI is obese 1. There is a relationship between BMI and the degree of hypertension (p=0.02). Conclusion: Most of the patients are hypertension stage 2 and obese 1. There is a relationship between BMI and hypertension in hypertensive patients. It means BMI is a risk factor for hypertension.

Abstract

Introduction: Approximately 5% of all cases of tuberculosis are extrapulmonary. A rare extrapulmonary variant of the disease is known as perianal tuberculosis, which accounts for 0.001% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases. Case Report: A 28-year-old male presented with intermittent chronic anal pain and purulent discharge from the anal for 6 months, without respiratory complaints. Chest X-Ray examination shows minimal infiltrate on the right lung apex and broncho vascular pattern partially covered with infiltrate. Fistulotomy has been done three times in this patient within 6 months. Colonoscopy examination shows recti polyp, and the histopathology result from biopsy specimen taken from the last fistulotomy is tuberculosis-specific chronic inflammatory process. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus test is negative. This patient has been treated with anti-tuberculosis treatment for 7 months and 2 months after consuming it the wound on the perianal is healing and the patient’s weight is gaining 10 kgs within 7 months. Conclusion: The diagnosis of perianal tuberculosis is challenging, especially in the absence of pulmonary focus. Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perianal ulcers and fistulas, mainly in non-healing and recurrent anal lesions, especially in regions where tuberculosis is endemic. Management with anti-tuberculosis treatment can provide complete recovery.

Abstract

Background: The health behavior modification model program addresses diet, exercise, and nutritional depletion on lipid profile and body fat can improve the causes of chronic disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a health behavior modification model on the blood lipid profile and body fat levels of educational personnel. Method: This study's five-month data collection timeframe for this study (during the COVID-19 pandemic condition) was from October 2021 to March 2022. Participants are educational personnel of Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Campus with dyslipidemia (The National Cholesterol Education Program criteria)., aged 19 years and older, both males and females. The inclusion criteria are cholesterol over 200 mg/dl LDL-C over 100 mg/dl triglycerides more than 150 mg/dl or HDL-C less than 40 mg/dL. The satisfaction with the health behavior modification model KPS-FEE, which consisted of 6 activities: K (Knowledge), P (Produce), S (Support), F (Food), eat well, E (Exercise), exercise and E (Emotion), relax and feel good. The subjects were satisfied with the health behavior modification model at a good level (mean score 4.13 ± 0.47). Result: The sample group consisted of 31 personnel by volunteer selection. The mean scores for cholesterol, fat mass, and abdominal fat levels decreased significantly (p < 0.05) after the experiment. Although there were no statistically significant differences, the participants’ values tended to improve. Conclusion: Health behavior modification will improve a person’s health and happiness, and their ability to perform more effectively can be used in other departments with similar environments and job requirements.
