Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition that predominantly affects adolescents and young adults. This study aimed to examine the relationship between elevated blood triglyceride levels and the incidence and severity of acne vulgaris in young adults. A cross-sectional design was utilized, involving 85 patients aged 17-25 years from a cosmetic clinic in Surabaya, Indonesia. Triglyceride levels were measured and classified into two categories: normal (less than 150 mg/dL) and high (more than 150 mg/dL). The severity of acne vulgaris was assessed using the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS). Statistical analysis using the chi-square test revealed a significant association between elevated triglyceride levels and the incidence of acne vulgaris (p = 0.03). However, no significant correlation was found between triglyceride levels and acne severity (p = 0.09). These findings suggest that while elevated triglyceride levels may increase the risk of developing acne vulgaris, other factors such as hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle elements may play a more prominent role in determining acne severity. Clinically, reducing triglyceride levels through dietary interventions or pharmacological therapies may serve as a preventive measure for acne vulgaris. Further research is required to explore the mechanisms underlying this relationship and the potential role of lipid management in acne treatment.

Abstract

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) presents a significant challenge to global TB control efforts, with medication non-adherence identified as a major contributing factor. This study aimed to investigate the influence of medication non-adherence on the occurrence of DR-TB in Serang City, Indonesia. Utilizing an observational analytic study with a case-control design, the research included 76 TB patients, comprising 38 DR-TB cases and 38 drug-sensitive TB controls. Data were collected from secondary sources and validated questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, including Chi-square tests and Odds Ratios (OR). The findings revealed a significant relationship between medication non-adherence and DR-TB, with an OR of 11.56, indicating that non-adherent patients are 11.5 times more likely to develop DR-TB compared to adherent patients. However, demographic factors such as age, occupation, and education did not significantly influence the incidence of DR-TB. The study concludes that medication non-adherence is a critical risk factor for the development of DR-TB, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to improve treatment adherence, particularly through educational campaigns and community-based support. Health authorities are encouraged to implement intensive educational programs focused on the risks of non-adherence and ensure that TB treatment is accessible and supported by community health workers. Policymakers should allocate sufficient resources to these initiatives to effectively reduce the incidence of DR-TB.

Abstract

Pain and anxiety are significant challenges for primigravida mothers undergoing cesarean sections, with potential adverse effects on both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Endorphin massage therapy has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention to mitigate these challenges by promoting the release of endorphins, which act as natural analgesics and anxiolytics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endorphin massage therapy in reducing preoperative pain and anxiety levels in primigravida mothers scheduled for cesarean sections in Lubuklinggau, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 21 primigravida mothers divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received endorphin massage therapy, administered twice daily for three consecutive days prior to the cesarean section. Pain and anxiety levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), respectively. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the pre- and post-intervention scores. The study found a significant reduction in both pain (mean difference: -4.3; 95% CI: -1.92 to -8.71; p < 0.001) and anxiety levels (mean difference: -8.3; 95% CI: -2.1 to -11.2; p < 0.001) in the intervention group compared to the control group. The reduction in anxiety was more pronounced than in pain, indicating the potent anxiolytic effect of endorphin massage therapy. Endorphin massage therapy significantly reduces preoperative pain and anxiety in primigravida mothers undergoing cesarean sections, particularly in alleviating anxiety. This non-pharmacological intervention could be a valuable addition to standard peripartum care, offering a safe, cost-effective alternative to pharmacological treatments. Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to confirm these findings and explore long-term outcomes.

Abstract

The rising number of fatalities linked to food, exercise, and non-communicable illnesses has sparked interest in studying their effects. In society, Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) symbolize health and wellbeing. However, the incidence of chronic illness and healthy habits among Middle East and North Africa (MENA) HCPs remains unclear. To determine the prevalence of chronic diseases and adherence to healthy dietary habits and physical activity among HCPs in the MENA region. Algeria, Egypt, El Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Syria HCPs (physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and nutritionists) participated in multicenter cross-sectional research. April to June 2022 data on diet and exercise habits was collected using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. Demographics, risk factors, medical history, and nutrition and exercise were included in the questionnaire. HCP diet and exercise were examined using multivariable regression models. A study of 7130 HCPs (mean age 28.6 ± 7.8 years, 57.5% females) was conducted. Physicians held 56.8% of the sample population, followed by pharmacists, nurses, dentists, and nutritionists. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affected 33.1% of individuals. Alcohol, pork, soda, sugar, and smoking raised the risk of non-communicable diseases. Nutritionists were the most active HCPs. About half of dietitians (45.3%) walked 150 minutes or more per week, while 14.7% and 25.9% did 150 minutes or more of moderate and 75 minutes or more of intense exercise, respectively. HCPs in MENA had high rates of CVD and risk factors such smoking, alcohol, pork, soda, sugar, and less exercise. MENA HCPs must be aware of the significant incidence of these risk factors to enhance health behavior.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed numerous industries, including medicine, with radiography standing to benefit significantly from its capabilities. AI enhances diagnostic accuracy, reduces errors, and improves patient care by leveraging large datasets from digital radiographs commonly used in medical and dental practices. Despite these advantages, the impact of AI on image acquisition and radiographer workflows remains underexplored in radiography literature. This review aims to evaluate the effects of AI on radiographic practices, address regulatory challenges, and explore its integration into educational frameworks for radiologists and radiographers. It highlights AI's role in automating tasks, enhancing diagnostic precision, and improving clinical decision-making. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar up to December 2024, with terms including "artificial intelligence," "machine learning," "deep learning," "radiography," and "diagnostic imaging." Seventy-seven peer-reviewed articles and conference papers focusing on AI applications in digital dental radiography were analyzed to extract data on AI methodologies and their potential applications. The findings reveal that AI-powered solutions enhance efficiency in complex imaging tasks, such as lesion identification and triage in mammography, and real-time assessments in cross-sectional imaging, reducing the need for re-scans and increasing patient throughput. However, widespread adoption faces obstacles related to ethical and legal concerns, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need for transparency. While AI demonstrates significant potential to automate workflows, improve diagnostic accuracy, and optimize patient care in radiography, challenges related to human oversight, professional adaptation, and regulatory compliance must be addressed. Further research is needed to fully understand AI’s impact on radiography and to maximize its clinical utility.

Abstract

Regulating the interval between pregnancies is crucial to preventing maternal and infant mortality. The National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) recommends delaying pregnancies to support women of reproductive age in achieving healthier maternal outcomes. However, limited interest in using Intrauterine Devices (IUD) is influenced by factors such as knowledge and attitudes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of IUD family planning counseling on attitudes and interests among prospective family planning acceptors. This quantitative study employs a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population included 55 postpartum mothers, with a sample of 51 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Nonparametric Wilcoxon Test. Results revealed a statistically significant improvement in attitudes (p-value = 0.000) and interest (p-value = 0.000) following counseling, as indicated by increased mean scores from 21.75 to 27.61 for attitudes and 9.28 to 13.73 for interest. These findings demonstrate that IUD counseling effectively enhances positive attitudes and interest in using long-term contraceptive methods. The study concludes that comprehensive IUD counseling is essential in increasing acceptance of IUD as a contraceptive method. The findings suggest that healthcare providers should adopt tailored, evidence-based counseling approaches to overcome misconceptions and foster supportive environments for women, including engaging family members, particularly spouses. These efforts can contribute to reducing maternal and infant mortality rates through informed contraceptive choices.
