Abstract

Introduction. Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in older adults frequently cause low back pain and functional limitations. Conservative care is the first-line option for stable fractures without neurological deficit, focusing on pain control and medical rehabilitation. Method.  The patient underwent medical rehabilitation twice a week for eight sessions over one month, followed by six months wearing of high LSO corset. Outcomes were assessed using pain scale and functional measures at weeks 8 and 16. Case Report. A 61-year-old woman sustained an L1 VCF after a low-energy fall onto her buttocks. She presented with chronic low back pain and activity limitation, without neurological deficit. Initial management consisted of analgesic optimization, education on safe activity, Infrared Ray (IRR) and conventional TENS, and a graded exercise program. After eight weeks, pain had improved but persisted during moderate activities; a high LSO lumbosacral corset was then prescribed to support posture. Result. After undergoing medical rehabilitation for 16 weeks, the patient showed significant recovery, pain was decreased from 7/10 to a manageable level with meaningful improvement even though radiology still showed persistent fracture deformity. Discussion. This case demonstrates that a conservative rehabilitation approach combining infrared therapy, TENS, structured exercises, and selective bracing can effectively reduce pain and improve function in an elderly patient with traumatic lumbar compression fracture. Current evidence supports multimodal conservative management for stable vertebral compression fractures, with emphasis on exercise programs and consideration of bone fragility treatment to prevent future fractures.

Abstract

Introduction: Dry eye syndrome is a condition that affects the tear film, leading to discomfort, visual disturbances, and tear film abnormalities, which can result in damage to the surface of the eye. One of the causes of dry eyes is the use of contact lenses. This study aims to determine the incidence of dry eye syndrome and eye complaints due to the use of contact lenses in pre-clinical medical students from the 2020-2022 cohort. Methods: This research is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 23 selected students were included using total sampling technique. Variables were measured using the Contact Lens Dry Eyes Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8) and Contact Lens Discomfort Index (CLDI), as well as physical examinations including the Schirmer test and Tear Break-up Time (TBUT). Bivariate analysis was performed using Spearman's rho correlation test. Results and Analysis: Seven cases (30.43%) of dry eye were identified. Spearman's rho test revealed statistically significant negative correlations between questionnaire scores and clinical measurements (rs = -0.532 to -0.819, p < 0.05). The negative correlations found indicate that dry eye complaints experienced by contact lens users do not correspond with clinical examination results. This suggests that conventional tear tests are less capable of representing the actual discomfort experienced by contact lens users. Conclusion: The incidence of dry eye and eye complaints due to contact lens use based on the results of the questionnaire and physical examination is 7 people (30.43%).

Abstract

  Introduction. Hypertension is widely recognized as a silent killer and risk factors of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Within Denpasar City, the prevalence of hypertension remains notably elevated. Surveillance systems constitute an indispensable instrument for the ongoing monitoring and control of hypertension. The present study sought to evaluate the hypertension surveillance system operating within the jurisdiction of the Denpasar City Health Office during 2025. Method. A qualitative case study design was used. Data collected through in-depth interviews conducted with non-communicable disease program officers at the Denpasar City Health Office and at four community health centres (Puskesmas) selected via simple random sampling. The data analysed with descriptive analysis. Result & Analysis. The result shows that the hypertension surveillance system was operational yet fell short of optimal performance. Principal constraints were identified in the areas of limited human resource capacity, excessive dual workloads among frontline staff, and fragmented reporting mechanisms. The ASIK application was frequently subject to technical disruptions, lacked integration with the existing E-Puskesmas system and depended on staff’s personal devices. Furthermore, only a subset of community health volunteers demonstrated the capability to perform independent data input. The system performed adequately in acceptability and representativeness; however, significant deficiencies were observed in the domains of simplicity, timeliness, and stability. Conlusion. Strengthening is needed in human resource development, digital system integration, provision of adequate supporting infrastructure, and structured training programs for community health volunteers to improve system effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Introduction. The Hajj pilgrimage is among the largest religious mass gatherings globally, in which the embarkation phase serves as the final health risk control point before pilgrims depart for Saudi Arabia, integrating health examination, istithaah assessment, fitness to fly determination, vaccination, environmental sanitation, and catering oversight as a unified safety system. Method. This study applied an integrative literature review with descriptive document analysis using two official 1447 H/2026 Hajj embarkation surveillance documents from the Directorate of Surveillance and Health Quarantine, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, supplemented by peer-reviewed literature. Analysis combined descriptive statistics, content analysis, narrative synthesis, and cross-document triangulation. Result & Analysis. All twenty embarkation units reported through SINKARKES at full compliance, covering over five hundred flight groups and more than two hundred thousand registered pilgrims. Most pilgrims carried comorbid conditions, yet the majority were classified as eligible or eligible with accompaniment under the istithaah framework. Illness and hospitalisation were the dominant reasons for deferred and cancelled departures. Vaccination occurred primarily at the region of origin, while environmental sanitation and catering inspections achieved full compliance across all units. Discussion. The embarkation phase functions as a structured pre-event risk control mechanism within the mass gathering health framework, wherein health examination, aggregate surveillance, vaccination verification, and environmental and food safety oversight collectively constitute a comprehensive instrument of pilgrim safety prior to international departure.

Abstract

Introduction. Suckermouth catfish (Pterygoplichthys pardalis) is among the most prominent invasive exotic fish species in Indonesian urban waters, with its dominance in DKI Jakarta Province particularly evident along the Ciliwung River system subjected to sustained anthropogenic pressure. Method. This study employed a systematic narrative review of peer-reviewed journal articles, institutional reports, undergraduate theses, and official government documents, with sources selected against explicit inclusion criteria covering relevance, methodological clarity, and policy value. Result & Analysis. The dominance of suckermouth catfish in Jakarta is sustained by tolerance for degraded water quality, high reproductive fecundity, and dietary flexibility. A fish reinventory of the Ciliwung River between 2023 and 2024 identified the species among the five most abundant of 37 recorded, confirming that invasive dominance persists despite overall improvements in species richness. Microplastic particles were detected in the gills and digestive tract of specimens from South Jakarta, and ectoparasites were recorded in fish from the same urban habitat, indicating a layered environmental health risk associated with utilisation of the species as a food source. Discussion. Suckermouth catfish functions simultaneously as an invasive species and as an ecological indicator of urban river degradation. Effective control requires an integrated ecosystem-based approach prioritising water quality improvement, adaptive harvesting, habitat restoration, and cross-sectoral governance.
