Abstract

Although effective in saving lives, mechanical ventilation also carries the risks of serious complications. This study aimed to identify predictor factors for mortality in patients on mechanical ventilators in the ICU. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed medical records from 424 patients, were obtained through simple random sampling from 614 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 22. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test to identify associations between independent variables and mortality, followed by multivariate analysis using logistic regression to determine significant predictors of mortality. Result : The mortality rate was 51%. Multivariate analysis identified nine mortality factors. ICU admission from inpatient ward (RR=2.688), GCS (RR=2.674), respiratory failure (RR=18.187), ROSC (RR=6.754), septic shock (RR=3.885), renal failure (RR=2.024), and reintubation (RR=2.257) were found to increase the risk of mortality, while length of ICU stay (RR=0.323) and length of ventilator use (RR=0.313) were identified as protective factor. On the other hand, variables such as age, gender, pneumonia, stroke, and tracheostomy did not have a real influence on mortality in this study.Conclusion: ICU admission from inpatient ward, GCS, respiratory failure, ROSC, septic shock, renal failure, and reintubation were found to be predictors of mortality in patients with mechanical ventilator in ICU.

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common health problem affecting the female reproductive system. It is caused by infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The most common risk factors for cervical cancer are age at marriage, parity, and use of hormonal contraceptives. Objective: To analyze the relationship between age at marriage, parity, and hormonal contraceptive use with cervical cancer incidence at the NTB Provincial General Hospital. Methods: This quantitative study used a case-control design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 110 samples. Data were taken from medical records at the NTB Provincial Hospital. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance limit of p-value <0.05.Results: It was found that most of the respondents married at the age of ≥20 years, as many as 69 (62.7%), had parity ≤3 times as many as 80 (72.7%), and used hormonal contraception as many as 58 (52.7%). The Chi-square test showed a significant relationship between age at marriage (p-value = 0.002; OR = 3,997; 95% CI = 1.742-9.170), parity (p-value = 0.005; OR = 3,917; 95% CI = 1.555-9.863), and use of hormonal contraception (p-value <0.001; OR = 4.618; 95% CI = 2.066-10.327) with the incidence of cervical cancer. Conclusion: Age at marriage, parity, and use of hormonal contraception were significantly associated with the incidence of cervical cancer at the NTB Provincial Hospital.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a degenerative joint disease that often occurs in old age and is one of the main causes of pain and limited mobility. The incidence of knee OA is influenced by various risk factors, including body mass index (BMI), gender, and hypertension, but the results of studies related to these factors still show differences in findings. In North Lombok Regency, data on risk factors for knee OA is still limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between BMI, gender, and hypertension with the incidence of knee osteoarthritis at North Lombok Regency Hospital. This study uses an analytical observational design with a case control approach. The case group consists of 54 patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and underwent treatment at the North Lombok Regency Hospital in the period of July 2024-July 2025. The control group consisted of 54 people who were patients of the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of the North Lombok Regency Hospital in August 2025 who did not suffer from knee osteoarthritis. Sampling of the control group was carried out using purposive sampling techniques based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were obtained from the patient's medical records and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses to assess the relationship between independent variables and the incidence of knee OA. he results of this study are expected to show the relationship between BMI, gender, and hypertension with the occurrence of knee osteoarthritis, and to support prevention and treatment efforts for knee osteoarthritis at North Lombok Regency Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a malignant, locally invasive tumor that originates from Schwann cells in the peripheral nerves, and has a high probability of metastasize. It accounts for 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas and has an incidence of 0.001% in the general population. Because of its rarity and lack of specificity, little is known about its imaging features, and reports on the nasal region are uncommon. Case Report: A 43-year-old woman with symptoms of nosebleed from her right nostril and had a tampon inserted for 4 days, but the bleeding persisted. No history of trauma. Physical examination is inconclusive. CT Angiography (CTA) shows a hypervascular mass in the right nasal cavity extending into the ethmoidal sinus, suggesting a cavernous hemangioma. The patient underwent mass extirpation surgery. Histopathological and histochemical examination of the removed tissue revealed a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. The patient then underwent radiotherapy. An MRI evaluation revealed no residual tumor. Discussion: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma. This tumor can be aggressive by infiltrating the surrounding tissue, including bone structures, in contrast to hemangiomas. Computed tomography is useful for locating the tumor, identifying infiltration, and planning treatment. Because this reported case was believed to be in the early phases of the illness, the lesion found in CTA has regular margins and well-defined boundaries, thus it is more appropriate for cavernous hemangioma. As a multi-parameter modality, MRI can provide a wealth of information on characterizing various components in tumors, thus is used for further investigation and post-treatment evaluation. Conclusion: Because of the overlapping radiographic features, distinguishing MPNST from other more prevalent tumors, such as cavernous hemangioma, is challenging. It is important for radiologists to consider MPNST as a differential diagnosis of masses in the nasal cavity.

Abstract

Temulawak (Curcuma zanthorrhiza) contains secondary metabolite compounds that allow this plant to be used as an alternative insecticide. Several secondary metabolite compounds of temulawak, namely phenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids and tannins have insecticidal properties against head lice. This study aims to study the effectiveness of administering temulawak extract against kutu rambut (Pediculus humanus capitis). This study is experimental, namely in the form of administering temulawak extract to head lice. The extract used was divided into 4 concentrations, namely 0% (K0), 7% (P1), 9% (P2) and 11% (P3). The results of the One Way ANOVA analysis showed a significant difference in the average percentage of kutu rambut deaths between the control group and the treatment group with a value (p = 0.001 <α (0.05)). The Bonferroni post hoc test revealed a significant difference in the average percentage of kutu rambut deaths between group K0 and group P1 (p=0.028), between group P2 and group P3 (p=0.045), between group P1 and group P3 (p=0.002), and between group P2 and group P3 (p=0.048). However, there was no significant difference in the average percentage of kutu rambut deaths between group P1 and group P2 (p=0.185). This is considered effective as an insecticide against kutu rambut at concentrations of 9% and 11%, as the average percentage of kutu rambut deaths at the 9% concentration was 50-60%, and at the 11% concentration the average number of kutu rambut deaths was 80-90%.

Abstract

An increasingly important part of nursing education is online learning. Students' self-efficacy, or their confidence in their capacity to complete academic assignments, is a key factor in determining their level of engagement, performance, and flexibility in digital settings. Recent research suggests that among nursing students, self-efficacy is positively correlated with academic achievement, learning engagement, and preparedness for e-learning. The study aimed to characterize the degree of self-efficacy among online learning nursing students. This study applied a cross-sectional, descriptive design with 295 undergraduate nursing students at one private university in West Indonesia. The method employed was total sampling. A 14-item Likert-type questionnaire based on Bandura's dimensions (level, strength, and generality) was used to gauge self-efficacy. The instrument demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.944) following verification in a pilot test. Google Forms was used to gather data online between February and March of 2021. The findings revealed 23.7% of students demonstrated high self‑efficacy, whereas 53.2% of students have moderate self-efficacy and 23.1% of respondents found low self-efficacy.  Nursing students who have high self-efficacy expressed more confidence in their ability to manage online tasks, finish projects, and handle technical challenges. These results are consistent with new research showing that technology readiness, online learning satisfaction, device accessibility, and structured pedagogical approaches all boost online learning self-efficacy. In general, nursing students showed moderate levels of self-efficacy when learning online. Learning outcomes can be maximized by enhancing self-efficacy through improved learning design, increased technical assistance, and readiness-building initiatives.

Abstract

Pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a rare and serious disorder, characterized by left or bilateral ventricular dilatation with impaired systolic function, often leading to heart failure. This retrospective study, conducted at Banten District Hospital in Indonesia, aimed to explore the clinical profile, outcomes, and associated factors in pediatric DCM patients from June 2022 to October 2025. A total of 35 children aged 27 days to 18 years were included. Common comorbidities included rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, tuberculosis, myocarditis, and anemia. The study found a significant relationship between malnutrition and adverse outcomes, with 85.7% of patients surviving, while 14.3% died. The most common ejection fraction (EF) score was moderately reduced (30-40%). These findings underline the importance of addressing underlying comorbid conditions such as rheumatic heart disease and nutritional deficiencies. The study calls for a comprehensive approach to managing pediatric DCM, including early detection and treatment of comorbidities, to improve survival outcomes in resource-limited environments.

Abstract

Introduction: Dyspepsia is a common gastrointestinal complaint in early pregnancy, generally associated with hormonal and functional changes. This condition may reduce quality of life, affect maternal nutritional status, and present a diagnostic challenge in differentiating it from other conditions such as hyperemesis gravidarum or gastrointestinal infection. Case Report: A 27-year-old woman, G1P0A0, at 10 weeks of gestation, presented with nausea and vomiting more than two times per day, accompanied by epigastric discomfort and bloating after meals. Physical examination revealed epigastric tenderness without signs of severe dehydration. Laboratory tests showed normal hemoglobin, mildly elevated leukocytes, slightly decreased potassium, and the presence of bacteria and leukocytes in urine. Result: A working diagnosis of dyspepsia in early pregnancy was established after ruling out hyperemesis gravidarum and gastroenteritis. The patient was treated with Ringer’s lactate infusion, intravenous ondansetron, antacids, and vitamin B complex supplementation, which led to improvement of symptoms. Conclusion: Dyspepsia during pregnancy is a common complaint with both hormonal and functional etiologies. Diagnosis requires thorough history-taking and exclusion of important differential diagnoses. Management should prioritize lifestyle modification and supportive therapy, with safe pharmacotherapy during pregnancy when necessary

Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is a women's reproductive health problem that can be prevented through Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. However, HPV vaccination coverage among young age groups, including female medical students, remains relatively low despite their health education background. Knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes are believed to play a role in shaping health-related behaviors. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes with cervical cancer prevention behavior through HPV vaccination among female medical students at Al-Azhar Islamic University Methods: This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. A total of 75 female medical students were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p-value < 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents had good knowledge, positive perceptions, and favorable attitudes toward cervical cancer and HPV vaccination. However, most respondents had not received the HPV vaccine (85.3%). Statistical analysis showed no significant association between knowledge (p = 1.000), perception (p = 0.056), or attitude (p = 1.000) and cervical cancer prevention behavior through HPV vaccination. Conclusion: Good levels of knowledge, perception, and attitude were not significantly associated with cervical cancer prevention behavior through HPV vaccination among female medical students.
