Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is a global health problem that continues to be a challenge, especially in developing countries. One important aspect in the management of HIV/AIDS is the monitoring of viral load and CD4+ levels which serve as indicators of the patient's immune status. As the disease progresses, HIV/AIDS patients are at high risk of opportunistic infections that can worsen health conditions and shorten life expectancy. Objective: To determine the relationship between viral load and CD4+ levels in HIV/AIDS patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital. Method: Analytic observational research method with cross sectional approach, the research subjects were 10 subjects for viral load examination and 32 subjects for CD4+ examination. Results: The highest percentage of opportunistic infections was in oral candidiasis infection as many as 16 people (50%). The chi-square test showed a significant relationship between CD4+ levels and opportunistic infections in HIV/AIDS patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar with a p-value of 0.000 while for viral load could not be determined because secondary data were incomplete. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between CD4+ levels with opportunistic infections in patients with HIV/AIDS at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar.

Abstract

Background: Typhoid fever is a prevalent febrile illness in tropical regions where public health infrastructure and sanitation are limited. Pancytopenia resulting from hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but severe complication of typhoid fever that can be fatal without proper management. Objective: This case report aims to describe the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of a typhoid fever patient who developed pancytopenia, altered consciousness, and speech impairment. Methods: A comprehensive evaluation was conducted, including the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests. Laboratory workups revealed pancytopenia, positive TUBEX IgM for Salmonella, lymphadenopathy, and bone marrow aplasia. Differential diagnoses were considered and ruled out to confirm HLH as the underlying mechanism. Results: The patient responded positively to a regimen including ceftriaxone, steroids, and supportive care. The presence of pancytopenia in this typhoid fever case was linked to HLH. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy are critical for managing severe typhoid fever cases with complications such as HLH, helping prevent further complications and improving patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia faces a triple burden of nutritional problems, including stunting, wasting, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies such as anemia. Malnutrition occurs when individuals do not receive adequate intake of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals, which can lead to stunting. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between family income and maternal education level with the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the working area of Purwodadi Community Health Center 1. Method: This observational study with a cross-sectional design involved 116 respondents. Data on family income and maternal education were collected through questionnaires and interviews, while toddler nutritional status was assessed through anthropometric measurements. Results: The majority of respondents had sufficient family income (54.3%), and most mothers had higher education levels (49.1%). Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between family income and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.495). However, there was a significant relationship between maternal education level and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Family income is not significantly associated with stunting incidence in toddlers, but maternal education level plays an important role in reducing stunting risk.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension cases in Indonesia are on the rise annually. Identifying risk factors is crucial for prevention. Risk factors include non-modifiable elements and modifiable ones. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is widely used to understand patient adherence to antihypertensive treatment adherence. Objective: This study aimed to pinpoint key patient adherence to antihypertensive treatment in RW 11, Bangetayu Kulon Village, Semarang. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design. Independent variables included perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action, while the dependent variable was adherence to antihypertensive medication. The sample comprised 33 hypertensive patients selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved a validated questionnaire administered via interviews. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27, with chi-square for bivariate analyses, and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: Bivariate analysis indicated that perceived susceptibility, benefits, severity, and self-efficacy significantly correlated with treatment adherence. Multivariate analysis revealed that perceived severity and self-efficacy were the strongest predictors of adherence, with self-efficacy being the most dominant factor (PR 33.67, 95% CI 2.937–385.989, p = 0.005). Conclusion: The Health Belief Model effectively predicts medication adherence among hypertensive patients. Interventions aimed at improving self-efficacy and emphasizing perceived severity of hypertension could enhance patient adherence to treatment.

Abstract

Background: Medication adherence in geriatric patients is a major challenge as polypharmacy increases the risk of drug-related problems (DRPs). The role of clinical pharmacy is important in addressing these issues through evidence-based approaches. Objective: To review the effectiveness of various clinical pharmacy interventions in improving medication adherence in geriatric patients. Methods: This article used a systematic review of 13 literature selected from 934 articles based on inclusion criteria in the last 10 years, using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The focus of the analysis included education, monitoring, and the use of tools such as pill cards and medication reminder charts. Results: Clinical pharmacy interventions, such as the use of Beers and STOPP/START criteria, counseling, and educational programs using tools, were shown to improve adherence in geriatric patients. Programs such as pill boxes increased adherence by 83.33%. However, some tools such as medication reminder charts had limited effectiveness. Conclusion: A collaborative approach, including patient and family education, monitoring, and clinical criteria-based therapy adjustments, is essential to improve medication adherence in geriatric patients, which directly improves their quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to decreased insulin secretion or insulin resistance. T2DM can lead to microvascular complications, such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, as well as macrovascular complications, including heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between age, gender, HbA1c levels, and the duration of T2DM with the complications experienced by T2DM patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar. Method: This was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design involving 40 T2DM patients. Data were collected using secondary patient records. Results: The most common complication found was diabetic neuropathy, affecting 19 patients (47.5%). Statistical analysis using the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between age and complications (p = 0.002) and between HbA1c levels and complications (p = 0.004). Gender showed no significant relationship with complications. The duration of T2DM could not be analyzed due to incomplete data. Conclusion: Age and HbA1c levels are significantly associated with the occurrence of complications in T2DM patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital in 2023. Regular monitoring and strict glycemic control are essential to minimize the risk of complications.
