Abstract

Background: Patients with HIV-AIDS are at increased risk for both opportunistic infections, such as cerebral toxoplasmosis, and cognitive impairment. IgG anti-Toxoplasmosis gondii (T.gondii) is a marker for latent infection. However, its role in cognition in HIV patients remains unclear. The study aims to determine the correlation between Ig-G anti-T.gondii and each domain cognitive function in HIV patients with cerebral toxoplasmosis. Method: This was a cross-sectional study involving 110 HIV patients with cerebral toxoplasmosis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We assessed cognitive function using Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian Version (MoCA-INA) and measured the IgG anti-T.Gondii using the ELISA method. The Spearman correlation test was used to determine the correlation between Ig-G anti-T.gondii with each cognitive domain. Results: There was a significant correlation between IgG anti-T.gondii and cognitive function. (p = 0.004, r = -0.275). There was also significant relation between IgG anti-T.gondii with attention (p = 0.046, r =-0.19), abstraction (p = 0.036, r = -0.2), and delayed recall (p = 0.047, r =-0.19). But there was no significant relation between Ig-G anti-T.gondii with visuospatial (p = 0.171), naming (p = 0.521), language (p = 0.810), and orientation (p = 0.11) Conclusion: Lower Level Of IgG Anti-Toxoplasmosis Gondii Antibodies Is Associated With Worse Cognitive Function In Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV-AIDS) Patients with Cerebral Toxoplasmosis

Abstract

Background: The doctor’s white coat was known to be a source of nosocomial infection. Despite many studies’ results have shown the presence of bacterial contamination on the doctor's white coat, there was little research about bacterial contamination on the doctor's scrub. This study aims to investigate bacterial contamination on the scrubs of first-year residents of the Internal Medicine Department worn for one shift (17 hours). Method: This is a descriptive study on the first-year residents' scrubs which was conducted in January - February 2021 at H. Adam Malik Medan General Hospital. Samples were taken from the sleeves and pockets of the scrubs and programmed software was used to identify the amount, percentage of bacterial contamination, and bacterial species. Data were analyzed using the SPPS version 21. Result: Of the 31 first-year residents' scrubs that met the inclusion criteria, 79 colonies (50,6%) of bacterial contamination was found on the sleeves and 77 colonies (49,4%) in the pockets of the scrubs. Bacteria found on the scrubs are coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Bacillus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter Iwoffli, Pantoea sp., Acinetobacter baumanii, Klebsiella pneumaniae, Oligella ureolytica, and Pseudomonas stutzeri with the most common bacterial colonies found both in sleeves and pockets were coagulase- negative Staphylococcus (220.935 ± 180.56 and 289.09 ± 181.57). Conclusion: Bacterial contamination was found mainly on the sleeves of the scrubs with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus as the most contaminating bacteria and this should be taken into consideration as this strain could cause severe infection, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract

Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is a very common disorder in the general population. In patients with known hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism who have been undergoing treatment, a TSH test should be included in the preoperative assessment to determine the adequacy of treatment and to ensure that thyroid therapy is optimized before surgery. Case Presentation: A 39 years old woman complains about a weakness that has been 4 years interfering with activities. Shortness of breath if doing strenuous activities, walking long distances, and climbing stairs, and shortness of breath decreases after rest. Sore throat found since 1 week of hospitalization, and fever for 1 day. A lump in the neck is not found. Previously, the patient had been treated for 8 days in the Department of Cardiology and planned the installation of a temporary pacemaker due to bradycardia that persisted until cardiac arrest. Conclusion: Subclinical hypothyroid patients undergoing pre-procedure intervention are predisposed to anemia, electrophysiologic disturbances, and hypotension, all of which can precipitate cardiovascular collapse. The goal of therapy in the perioperative patient with thyroid dysfunction centers around the attempt to normalize hormone levels before surgical intervention whenever possible and, when that is not feasible, to use other measures that will maximize hemodynamic stability and prevent decompensation.

Abstract

Background: The development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is influenced by many risk factors, such as tobacco use, an unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, that could result in obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Continuing exposure to these risk factors can be prevented by routine screening for populations without any clinical symptoms. This study was conducted to obtain data on cardiometabolic profiles of people who participated in the Community Service Program of the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Disease, University of Sumatera Utara. Method: This research was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional research design. The study aims to screen for the cardiometabolic profile in the people of Tebing Tinggi City.  Cardiovascular risk factors were obtained from interviewing the participants and on-the-spot examination with validated measurement tools. All data were processed and analyzed statistically using SPSS ver.26. Categorical variables are presented with frequency (n) and percentage (%). Numeric variables are presented with mean and standard deviation (SD) values for normally distributed data. As for the normal non-distributed data numerical variables are presented with the middle value (median) and the interquartile range. Results: All subjects in this study (n= 102) are 39 male and 63 female. Most participants were in the 4th to 5th decade, with normal heart rates and normal sinus rhythm. Most female participants had a low risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the male had intermediate risk. Most participants had normal random blood sugar and total cholesterol but mostly had obesity. Near 20-30% of participants were grade I and II systolic hypertensives but normally had diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: In this study, most of the cardiometabolic risks of patients in the Community Service program were obesity, followed by hypertension.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is defined as the abnormality of kidney structure and function., which stays for more than 3 months long, with health implications. Today, chronic kidney disease is giving a great contribution to the world’s burden. Chronic kidney disease also affects 8%-16% of the world’s population. The huge number of chronic kidney disease cases has proven to be caused by the lack of knowledge regarding the signs and risk factors of chronic kidney disease. This is observational analytical research with a cross-sectional design. The data used in this research are primary data, obtained from questionnaire instruments on Medan citizens. The data is analyzed univariately, bivariate, and multivariately. Out of 100 respondents, it is acquired that adult (p<0,001), male gender (p<0,001), and higher education (p<0,001) were the only factors significantly associated with good knowledge, good attitude, and positive behavior. Lastly, respondents with good knowledge (p=0,002) (PR = 8,017 (90% CI: 2,759-23,296)) and, good attitude (p<0,001) (PR= 13,668 (90% CI: 4,269-43,767)) will have a positive behavior

Abstract

Background: Diabetic Papillopathy (DP) is a rare complication of Diabetes mellitus (DM) which affects visual function. The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of DP patients at a tertiary care hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study using electronic medical records of DP patients at the eye outpatient unit of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital in Surabaya between 2017 and 2020. Demographic data such as clinical characteristics, and history of DM were included. Levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour post-prandial blood sugar (PPG), and HbA1c were taken. Examination of the optic disc and retina determines the diagnosis of DP. Results: There were 27 cases of DP with the mean age of the patients being 49.3±9.3 years, predominance in the 46-55 years group (59.26%). Patients with DP had average systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 131.74±21.94 mmHg, and 86.00±15.89 mmHg, and an average BMI of 24.6 ±3.54 kg/m2 (62.96%). Most patients had a history of type 2 DM (96.29%), mean fasting blood sugar (FBG) and postprandial blood (PPG) was 225±83.3 mg/dL, and 147.81±59.72 mg/dL; and HbA1c 8.6±1.5 mg%. Conclusion: DP findings are relatively low in DM patients, however, DP could result in decreased visual acuity and quality of life so a proper ocular examination is important in DM patients.

Abstract

Background: Pandemic fatigue is a fatigue that can occur during a pandemic that can lead to reduced motivation to follow recommended infection prevention and decreased efforts to seek information related to COVID-19. COVID-19 protective behavior plays an important role in breaking the chain of spreading the COVID-19 virus. This study aimed to find the relationship between pandemic fatigue and COVID-19 protective behavior. Methods: This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional design, using primary data obtained from questionnaires. The respondents of this study were medical students at Universitas Sumatera Utara and were selected using a stratified random sampling method. The obtained data was analyzed using the chi-square test. Result: Most of the subjects are 20 years old and female. The majority of the pandemic fatigue level was moderate (33%) and the COVID-19 protective behavior level was good (34%). This study found there was a relationship between pandemic fatigue and the protective behavior of COVID-19 infection (p-value = 0.022).
