Abstract

[The Correlation Between Leukopenia and The Severity of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Paediatric Patients of RSUD Wangaya Denpasar from January 2021-August 2021] Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the most concerning diseases to look out for each year especially on paediatric patients because pediatric patients are more susceptible to severe dengue infection. This is presumably because the microvasculature in children is more prone to plasma leakage. To measure the severity of DHF, a classification by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2011 is used mainly as the standards. This study aims to determine the relationship between leukopenia and the severity of dengue fever in children treated at Wangaya Regional Hospital, Denpasar. The methods this study used is an observational analytic method with cross sectional study by using medical reports as secondary data from January-August 2021 in RSUD Wangaya Denpasar. Subjects are obtained by consecutive sampling with 92 subjects. This study used chi-square analysis (x2) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and P-value of 5%. Data was analyzed using univariate and bivariate model through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows. The results of this study indicates that the number of subjects with non-shock hemorrhagic dengue fever which is 68.5% appears to be greater than subjects with shock dengue hemorrhagic fever which is 31.5%. The average leukocyte level in the subjects obtained was still in the normal range, namely 4,803 µL. Chi square (x2) distribution table analysis (p=0,092), there is no significant correlation between the leukopenia with the severity of dengue hemorrhagic fever in paediatric patients of RSUD Wangaya Denpasar.

Abstract

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or benign prostate is a disease caused by swelling or an increase in the prostate gland. BPH occurs due to an increase in the volume of the prostate, the prostate is a solid organ located under the bladder, in front of the rectum and encloses the posterior urethra. One of the clinical manifestations of BPH is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). To determine the degree of severity of these symptoms can be measured using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire. This study aims to determine the relationship between prostate volume and the degree of IPSS in BPH patients with LUTS at the Urology Polyclinic of Tabanan Hospital. Sampling using consecutive sampling technique with the type of observational analytic research with cross-sectional techniques obtained as many as 40 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the gamma corelations test method with a 95% confidence level (p <0.05) using SPSS 25.0. The results obtained are as follows: there is a significant relationship between prostate volume and the degree of LUTS (p = 0.006) with the strength of the relationship in the strong category (r = 0.618). The conclusion is that prostate volume and IPSS degree have a significant relationship.

Abstract

[The Correlation Between BMI and Cardiorespiratory Endurance in FKIK UNWAR Student with Central Obesity] The Correlation Between BMI and Cardiorespiratory Endurance in FKIK Unwar Student with Central Obesity Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels in providing oxygen for muscle performance during rhythmic and sustained activity. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the factors that can affect the level of cardiorespiratory endurance. However, this measurement cannot measure the proportion of body fat as in someone with central obesity. A person with normal BMI can have a proportion of body fat > 30%, and if distributed as visceral fat will have a high association with cardiometabolic risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between BMI and cardiorespiratory endurance in Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Warmadewa University student with central obesity. The design of this study was observational analytic with cross sectional approach. This study was conducted on 60 students with central obesity. Body Mass Index was measured using equation body weight (kg)/the square of height (m), while the level of cardiorespiratory endurance was measured using Harvard Step Up Test. The data was analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 18.0 for Windows program. The correlation between both variable were analyzed by Spearman correlation test. The results was showed as follow: the average score Weist Circumference, BMI and cardiorespiratory endurance were 91,0±8; 29.01±3.01; and 18.61±8.40, respectively and the correlations between both were negatif (p=000 and r=0.51). The conclusion could be drawn that there was significance correlation between BMI and cardiorespiratory endurance.

Abstract

[Characteristic of Cataract Patients at Ari Canti Hospital From 2017-2019] Cataract is an ocular condition characterized by the opacification of the eye's lens, leading to visual impairment. Cataracts are caused by the disruption of mechanism between water and electrolytes which is triggered by the denaturation of lens proteins. Cataracts represent the predominant etiology of blindness and it is estimated that around 65.2 million people in the world suffer from cataracts. Although cataract surgery has been proven to reduce blindness, cataracts are still the leading cause of blindness in developing countries due to the lack of access to medical services and eye examinations. This investigation seeks to ascertain the attributes of cataract patients in relation to age, gender, systemic comorbidities (which consists of diabetes and hypertension), cataract severity, and visual acuity within the timeframe of 2017-2019 at Ari Canti Hospital. This descriptive research takes place in Ari Canti Hospital and it’s using cross-sectional method. Samples were obtained by consecutive sampling technique and data were collected by obtaining patient medical records to provide sample characteristics. The total amount of samples gathered were 262 samples. Results concluded that cataracts are more susceptible to people aged between 70-79 years, female and those who have a history of hypertension. Most cataracts symptoms begin at the immature stage and visual acuity is mostly at UCVA >3/60. Several recommendations for this study could serve as a basis for cataract screening and management policies and might also serve as a reference for future research endeavors.
