Abstract

Benign tumors were more common than malignant tumors, with a ratio of 1:100. However, in 2019, approximately 13,000 cases of malignant tumors were reported in the United States. Based on data from Cancer Referral Hospitals in Indonesia, soft tissue sarcomas were among the ten most common cancers in 2013, with approximately 75% of cases occurring in the extremity region. This study aimed to describe the histopathological examination results of patients with soft tissue tumors at the Madani General Hospital, Medan City. This study used a retrospective descriptive design by collecting data from the medical records of patients who underwent histopathological examination at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Madani General Hospital (period 2018-2022). Data were analyzed based on the distribution of cases according to age, sex, and tumor type. The results showed that soft tissue tumors were most prevalent in the 41-50 age group with 30 patients (20.3%), the majority were female with 85 patients (57.4%), and based on histopathological diagnosis, lipoma was the most common type of tumor found in 70 patients (47.3%). All cases studied were benign tumors, with a total of 148 patients (100%).

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between anemia and quality of life in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis at Royal Prima Hospital. An analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach was used. Data were collected from pre-existing medical records, and quality of life was assessed using a modified WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire that evaluates various aspects of life using a 5-point Likert scale. The chi-square test was used to determine the significance of the relationship between anemia status and quality of life among patients. A study of 51 hemodialysis patients at Royal Prima Hospital showed a high prevalence of anemia, with 86.3% of patients showing hemoglobin levels below the normal range. Although most patients (92.2%) were prescribed Sangobion, an iron supplement, many patients remained anemic, indicating a potential problem in terms of treatment efficacy or compliance. The duration of hemodialysis varied among the participants, with most undergoing treatment for more than 24 months, while the others were on hemodialysis for less than 24 months. About 92.2% reported a moderate quality of life, while only 7.8% experienced a poor quality of life. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the quality of life between patients with and without anemia (p=0.495), indicating that anemia may not have a direct impact on the overall quality of life for this patient population. In conclusion, although anemia is prevalent in hemodialysis patients at Royal Prima Hospital, its association with quality of life appears to be limited based on the findings of this study. Future research should focus on understanding the causes of anemia in this population and developing targeted strategies to improve the hematological status and overall quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that focuses on floor fighting and was first popularized in Brazil. The BJJ originally focused on entertainment, health, and self-development. These goals changed when practitioners began participating in competitions in which there was a significant increase in the number of BJJ injuries. A pre-survey in the field indicated that many jiu jitsu practitioners were affected by common injuries. The type of research in this study is a descriptive survey with a cross-sectional approach conducted at Ryu Dojo Martial Arts Center, Musi Jiu Jitsu, and PBJI Medan City in March 2024. Data were collected in the form of questionnaires, interviews, and medical records of practitioners diagnosed with injuries who were sampled. Univariate analysis was used to obtain the frequency distribution of respondents for each variable, namely age, gender, belt level, weight, training frequency, and competitor status. The results of the study were analyzed using SPSS version 27.0. The results showed that the highest number of practitioners was in the late teenage group (53.8%), the highest gender was male (92.3%), and the highest number of practitioners was white belt (69.2%). Based on body weight, the highest number of practitioners was in the Light Feather category (< 64 kg/141 lbs) with a percentage of 26.9%, and the most training hours were 3-5 hours 16 (30.8%). Lower Back Pain was the most common injury with a total of 25 practitioners. A total of 75% of the practitioners stated that their daily activities were disrupted because of their injuries. It can be concluded that the majority of BJJ participants were in their late teens, male was the most common gender, and white belts were the most common practitioners. The most common injury was lower back pain due to the amateur competitor status. Most respondents stated that their injuries interfered with their daily activities.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by an imbalance in the immune system, with a growing prevalence both globally and in Indonesia. The predominant risk factors for T2DM are sex, age, obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity. Complications of DM can be categorized into microvascular and macrovascular, with higher prevalence rates observed in women and the elderly. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of patients diagnosed with DM at Royal Prima General Hospital in 2023. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected between May and July 2024. A total of 68 patients were selected using the Slovin formula. The inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with DM and complete medical records, while the exclusion criteria included incomplete data, deceased patients, or those without complications. Univariate descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The majority of the 68 patients were aged > 60 years (55.9%) and female (63.2%). The most common occupation was homemaker/unemployed (47.1%), and a significant proportion of the patients had a normal body mass index (86.8%). Microvascular complications were the most prevalent, affecting 54.4% of the patients. Advanced age, female sex, and low physical activity were the dominant factors influencing DM prevalence at Royal Prima General Hospital. Microvascular complications are a major health concern in DM patients.

Abstract

Tension-type headache (TTH) is one of the most common types of primary headaches experienced by all age groups worldwide. The incidence of TTH among the medical students was also high. This study aimed to identify the relationship between anxiety and the incidence among medical students. We used an analytical descriptive research design and a cross-sectional study approach. A total of 119 students from Prima Indonesia University Faculty of Medicine participated in this study. Data were collected using the Back Anxiety Inventory (BAI) questionnaire to measure anxiety levels and Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) to measure the incidence of TTH. The results of data analysis using the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between anxiety levels and the incidence of TTH (p = 0.026). This finding indicates that the higher a person's anxiety level, the more likely they are to experience TTH. Based on the results of the study, 84.87% (101 people) of the participants experienced TTH, while 15.13% (18 people) experienced possible TTH. The majority of the participants with high anxiety levels were female (94.4%). It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between anxiety and the incidence of TTH among Prima Indonesia University Faculty of Medicine students in 2023. This finding supports the hypothesis that anxiety is a risk factor of TTH.

Abstract

Gadget usage has become an integral part of the lives of students in the modern era, including Indonesia, where there has been a significant increase in gadget users. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the frequency of gadget use and the occurrence of headaches among medical students at Universitas Prima Indonesia in 2022. Using a quantitative descriptive approach and cross-sectional research design, this study analyzed the data collected through a questionnaire. Chi-square tests were used to examine the relationship between the independent variable, gadget usage, and the dependent variable, the occurrence of headaches. The results indicated that tension-type headaches were the most common type experienced by students, followed by migraines. However, some students reported cluster headaches, while others did not experience any headaches. The most significant finding was the strong correlation between the frequency and duration of gadget use and the increased risk of developing headaches. These findings underscore the importance of recognizing the negative health consequences of excessive gadget use, particularly among students. Therefore, there is a need for strategies to manage gadget usage wisely to prevent headaches that may disrupt academic performance and overall quality of life.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of cotton buds and ear complaints in Prima Indonesia University Faculty of Medicine students’ classes in 2021. The method used was analytic observational with a cross-sectional design. Data from this research analysis were obtained from questionnaires filled out by 70 students, consisting of 35 users and 35 non-users of cotton buds. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between the use of cotton buds and complaints of itchy ears (p = 0.000, OR = 28.632) and ear pain (p = 0.000, OR = 2.458), but no significant association was found with hearing loss, bleeding, or ear infections. We conclude that the use of cotton buds may increase the risk of itchy and painful ear complaints.

Abstract

Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal mucosa that occurs due to bacterial, viral, fungal infections, allergens, or autoimmune conditions with signs and symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, facial pain, and decreased olfactory ability, with causes such as host factors that are divided into systemic and local (such as anatomical abnormalities) as well as environmental factors such as viral or bacterial infections and allergen exposure. Anatomical variations in the sinonasal area can cause impaired drainage and ventilation to obstruction of the osteomeatal complex which ultimately causes and even exacerbates inflammation of the sinus mucosa, examples of anatomical variations such as septal deviation, agger nasi cells, concha bullosa, haller cells, onodi cells, and others, with the radiological modality widely used is CT - Scan. This study aimed to identify anatomical variations in rhinosinusitis cases based on CT scan examination results. This study is descriptive and uses a total sampling technique. A total of 53 samples were taken, with rhinosinusitis as the main diagnosis. Subsequently, a frequency distribution test was conducted. It was found that 45 samples had no anatomical variation and eight samples had anatomical variations in the form of septal deviation. The results showed that the anatomical variation found in rhinosinusitis patients at RSUD Dr. Pirngadi had a septal deviation of as many as eight samples (15.1%).
