Abstract

Background: Treatment of infections generally uses chemical antibiotics, but chemical antibiotics have effects such as increasing toxicity to the body. The solution to overcome this problem is to use antibiotics from natural ingredients, such as coffee. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of robusta coffee bean extract (Coffea canephora) in inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. Methods: This research is an experimental study with a post test only control group design. There were 10 groups in this study, namely 2 control groups and 8 treatment groups. The technique used is disc diffusion to see the role of robusta coffee bean ethanol extract in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. The data was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test to determine the difference between treatments. Results: The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that there were differences in the average inhibition zone of Robusta coffee bean extract and the inhibitory power at each concentration (p<0.05). The concentration that has the highest inhibition is the concentration of 500 mg/ml. Conclusion: It can be said that there is an effectiveness of robusta coffee bean extract in reducing Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria because the specified concentration inhibition zone is obtained.

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%).

Abstract

Hypertension, often termed a "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic nature, is a chronic condition that significantly elevates the risk of cardiovascular mortality. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the correlation between perceived stress levels, sleep quality, and blood pressure among medical students at Universitas Prima Indonesia in class 2021. This study used a cross-sectional observational design. A purposive sample of 56 medical students was recruited based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) to assess stress levels, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep quality, and a digital sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents (75%) reported moderate stress levels, 66.1% had poor sleep quality, and 82.1% exhibited normal blood pressure. These results suggest a correlation between perceived stress, sleep quality, and blood pressure among medical students at Universitas Prima Indonesia, Class 2021.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern. Chest radiography is an essential tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of TB treatment. This retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze changes in chest radiographic findings among TB patients before and after treatment at Royal Prima Hospital. The study included 30 patients with TB who underwent repeated chest radiography between May 2023 and May 2024. Patient data were collected from the medical records. Descriptive analysis and the chi-square test were used to compare changes in radiographic findings between the treatment and non-treatment groups. Of the 30 patients, 15 (50%) showed positive changes on post-treatment radiographs, while the remaining 15 (50%) did not. The Chi-Square test revealed a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the two groups. Patients who received treatment had four-fold higher odds of experiencing radiographic changes than those who did not. These findings align with those of previous research demonstrating the efficacy of TB treatment in the repair of lung damage. Positive changes in post-treatment radiographs indicated that the treatment effectively suppressed Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth and facilitated lung tissue repair. Pulmonary TB treatment exerts a significant impact on changes in chest radiographic findings. This study underscores the importance of adequate TB treatment to achieve cure and prevent complications.

Abstract

Myopia, a common refractive error, has seen a significant global increase, particularly among young adults. This study aims to investigate the association between genetic factors, short-distance activity, and the incidence of myopia among medical students. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from medical students in batches 2022 and 2023. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the relationship between the variables. Demographic data revealed a predominantly young female population, with a high proportion of students enrolled in the 2023 academic year. A significant number of students were diagnosed with myopia, ranging from low to high degrees. Risk factor analysis indicated a strong association between reduced short-distance activity and increased myopia risk. Additionally, a family history of myopia emerged as a significant genetic predisposition to the condition. These findings highlight the importance of addressing both environmental and genetic factors to prevent and manage myopia among medical students. Future longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are needed to further explore the temporal relationship between risk factors and myopia progression.

Abstract

Occupational noise, particularly from industrial machinery and equipment, is a potential risk factor for elevated blood pressure. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between noise intensity and blood pressure changes among workers in the GCS department of PT. Pertamina EP Asset 1 Pangkalan Susu Field. All workers in five GCS units (n=30) participated. Noise intensity was measured using a sound level meter, and blood pressure was measured before and after work. Data analysis employed chi-square and paired t-tests with a significance level of 5%. Results showed no significant association between noise intensity and systolic blood pressure increase (p=0.317). However, a significant relationship was found between noise intensity and diastolic blood pressure increase (p=0.001). It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after work. Although noise intensity does not directly affect systolic blood pressure, it has a significant impact on increasing diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract

Decreased estrogen levels during menopause are often associated with various health problems, one of which is carbohydrate metabolism disorders characterized by changes in blood sugar levels. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood sugar levels in menopausal women. This study is an analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample involved all women aged 40-60 years who met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that most of the respondents (75%) were included in the late elderly category (age >56 years). Based on BMI, the majority of respondents (35%) were categorized as obesity I. Additionally, 51.7% of respondents had high blood glucose levels. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between age status and blood glucose levels (p-value = 0.000). Similarly, there was a significant relationship between BMI and blood glucose levels (p-value = 0.026). These results indicate that age and obesity are factors associated with increased blood sugar levels in menopausal women.

Abstract

Gastritis, defined as inflammation of the stomach lining, can arise from various factors, including Helicobacter pylori infection, stress, poor dietary habits, and the use of certain medications. Medical students represent a population particularly susceptible to gastritis due to high academic pressure, irregular eating patterns, and smoking habits. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for gastritis among medical students at Prima Indonesia University. This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 123 medical students. Data were collected through questionnaires, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 27. The majority of the study subjects were 21 years old (61.8%) and female (74.8%). Irregular eating habits (82.1%), coffee consumption (74%), and academic stress (79.7%) were prevalent among the subjects. More than half of the subjects had a history of gastritis (57.7%). The risk factors significantly associated with gastritis included female sex (OR=2.362; 95% CI: 1.030-5.414), irregular eating patterns (OR=3.707; 95% CI: 1.385-9.918), coffee consumption (OR=2.569; 95% CI: 1.126-5.861), and academic stress (OR=3.062; 95% CI: 1.227-7.638). Age did not significantly affect the risk of gastritis. Females were found to be more susceptible to gastritis than males, possibly due to hormonal influences and lifestyle factors. Irregular eating patterns and coffee consumption increased the risk of gastritis; however, smoking habits did not show a significant association. Academic stress was identified as an important risk factor, as it can increase gastric acid production. The risk factors significantly associated with gastritis among medical students were female sex, irregular eating patterns, coffee consumption, and academic stress.
