Abstract

An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), initially reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, emerged as a mysterious pneumonia caused by the novel β-coronavirus, 2019-nCoV. Among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, elevated D-dimer levels and impaired hemostasis have been commonly observed, often associated with disease severity and mortality. This study aimed to assess differences in D-dimer levels among mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19 patients in a cross-sectional design involving 36 confirmed COVID-19 patients hospitalized at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. Conducted from August to October 2021 at the Departments of Clinical Pathology and Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine, the study used consecutive sampling. The participants had an average age of 50.92 years, with hypertension and diabetes mellitus being the most common comorbidities. The average D-dimer level was 1324.28 ng/mL (SD = 2360.45 ng/mL), ranging from 100 ng/mL to 13,420 ng/mL. A significant difference in D-dimer levels was observed between patients with moderate and severe COVID-19, highlighting its potential role in evaluating disease progression and severity.

Abstract

Sugarcane bagasse extract (Saccharum officinarum Linn.) has high antioxidant activity due to its phenolic compounds, which are beneficial for moisturizing dry skin, smoothing the skin, and combating free radicals. This study aimed to evaluate the physical stability of exfoliating and moisturizing gel formulations containing sugarcane bagasse extract at concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5% using the cycling test method over six cycles (12 days) at temperatures of ±4°C and ±40°C. Parameters tested included organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and adhesiveness. The results showed that the formulations without extract (control) and those with 1% extract concentration met the physical stability parameters and remained stable throughout the cycling test, with viscosity ranging from 13,665.7 to 20,180.6 cPs, pH between 4.76 and 5.43, spreadability from 3.25 to 5.64 cm, and adhesiveness from 0.42 to 1.52 seconds. In contrast, formulations with 3% and 5% extract concentrations exhibited physical instability, such as changes in pH, viscosity, and spreadability, failing to pass the stability test cycles.

Abstract

The study focused on the purpose of finding out the effect and covering the views and acceptance of LGBT. Jakarta Indonesia is beginning to be seen clearly, especially the large amount of LGBT content both on television stations and on social media at home and abroad. This is very worrying because shows that LGBT is a risk factor for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV/AIDS. Unsafe sex, drugs, and many sexual partners, make LGBT people more susceptible to STIs. This study aims to determine the description of knowledge about STIs and attitudes towards the LGBT phenomenon in society, especially among young Gen Z people who still have the impact of inequality of thinking in social media. This study is a qualitative descriptive study conducted from October to December 2024. Data collection used a google form questionnaire. The sample consisted of 75 respondents who were members of the community fostered by the "Jakarta Plus Center (JPC)" Foundation. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The data is presented in a frequency table. The results of this study showed that most respondents had good general knowledge about STIs but lacked in more specific knowledge questions in medicine. The acceptance and views of the community in this community towards the LGBT phenomenon are quite low. People in the community consider LGBT to have a negative impact on life, although respondents agree that the human rights of LGBT people as humans must still be protected and respected, as they see on social media.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health challenge, with increasing prevalence, particularly in developing countries. CKD is characterized by a gradual and irreversible decline in kidney function, often progressing to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The pathophysiology of CKD involves structural and functional deterioration in various renal compartments, including the glomerulus, tubules, interstitial tissue, and blood vessels. Histopathological changes play a critical role in disease progression, with interstitial fibrosis, glomerulosclerosis, and tubular atrophy being the hallmark lesions observed across different CKD stages. This review highlights the anatomical pathology of CKD at various stages, focusing on histopathological changes, diagnostic techniques, and factors influencing disease progression. Renal biopsy remains the gold standard for assessing kidney damage, utilizing special stains such as Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) to identify fibrosis and sclerosis. However, noninvasive biomarkers like Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) have emerged as promising tools for early detection. Studies indicate that histopathologic findings, including interstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, often correlate with CKD progression more accurately than estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) alone. This review underscores the need for integrating histopathological, clinical, and molecular biomarkers to improve CKD diagnosis and management. A better understanding of kidney pathology can facilitate early detection, refine prognostic assessments, and enhance treatment strategies. Future research should focus on noninvasive diagnostic alternatives and novel therapeutic targets to slow CKD progression and mitigate its global health burden.
