Abstract

Protein intake is the main determinant in the survival, growth and development of the embryo while weight gain during pregnancy is needed to support the development and growth of the fetus in the womb. Birth weight is also related to the fulfillment of nutrition during pregnancy, where the fulfillment of maternal nutrition can be measured through its anthropometry, namely weight gain during pregnancy. This study aims to prove the relationship between the amount of protein intake and the weight gain of pregnant women during pregnancy with the baby's birth weight. This research method was analytic observational with a case control design. The research subjects were mothers who had babies with normal and low birth weight who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The research instrument was using the SQ-FFQ questionnaire about protein intake with interviews by nutritionist enumerators. Statistical test was using Chi-square correlation. A total of 32 research subjects, the majority aged 20-35 years (81.2%), moderated educational status (62.5%), low economic status (50%), parity was not at risked (84.4%), weight gain was appropriated ( 56.3%) and low protein intake (53.1%). The chi-square test obtained a p value of 0.013 and a p value of 0.021, which means that there was a relationship between the amount of protein intake and the weight gain of pregnant women during pregnancy with the birth weight of the baby.

Abstract

Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, severe systemic inflammatory disorder driven by dysregulation of the interleukin-36 (IL-36) pathway. Flares are often precipitated by multiple triggering factors, including infections, medication and underlying comorbidities. A 40-year-old overweight male with a history of pustular psoriasis and poor treatment adherence presented with a severe flare of widespread, painful pustules. The presentation was complicated by consumption of diclofenac and multiple infections, including cellulitis and untreated dental caries, which progressed to septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI). He was managed with intravenous antibiotics and systemic immunomodulators (cyclosporine, then methotrexate), leading to significant clinical improvement. Host factors like obesity and non-adherence created a pro-inflammatory state, while acute infections and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) acted as potent triggers for IL-36 upregulation, igniting a severe inflammatory cascade. This convergence led to life-threatening systemic complications, underscoring the complexity of the disease. Severe GPP flares are often triggered by a convergence of overweight status, NSAID and acute infections. Effective management requires a holistic, multidisciplinary approach that aggressively identifies and treats all contributing triggers to improve outcomes.

Abstract

Epilepsy is a long-standing neurological disorder defined by recurrent, unprovoked seizures, affecting more than 50 million individuals globally and influencing physical, mental, and social aspects of life. Continuous administration of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) such as phenytoin is a common therapeutic strategy; however, prolonged use may result in adverse effects that complicate treatment. This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with epilepsy since the age of four, presenting with recurrent seizures, impaired memory, headaches, and sexual dysfunction. Her most recent event was an absence seizure accompanied by upward eye deviation and tongue biting. Electroencephalography (EEG) demonstrated generalized spike-and-wave patterns. The patient was treated with phenytoin and folic acid, with the recent addition of clobazam, leading to favorable outcomes, including reduced seizure frequency, improved sleep, and diminished anxiety and dizziness. A persistent reduction in libido, first noted during adolescence, was suspected to be associated with long-term phenytoin use. Additionally, dental problems such as caries and tooth impaction were believed to worsen headache intensity. This case emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to epilepsy care, considering psychological conditions, cognitive impairment, and oral health. Prompt recognition of AED-related side effects and individualized treatment planning are essential to optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract

Tonsillectomy remains a common surgical intervention for chronic or recurrent tonsillitis, with evolving techniques aiming to minimize complications and accelerate recovery. This case report explores the clinical outcomes of using conventional tonsillectomy compared to the Bipolar Vessel Sealing Device (BVSD) methods. Two male patients, aged 22 and 33, presented with chronic tonsillitis characterized by throat discomfort, odynophagia, and worsening symptoms, including sleep-related breathing difficulties. Both underwent tonsillectomy, one with the conventional Sluder-Ballenger technique and the other with BVSD. Postoperative parameters pain (measured by Visual Analog Scale), bleeding, fever, and time needed to regain the normal diet were monitored for six days. No bleeding or fever was observed in either patient. However, the BVSD technique was associated with significantly lower pain scores, ranging from VAS 5 to 0 by day six, compared to 9 to 3 in the conventional group. Additionally, patients in the BVSD group transitioned to solid food earlier (day 4), while the conventional group required until day 6. These findings suggest improved tissue preservation and faster functional recovery with BVSD. The BVSD technique offers advantages in postoperative pain control and recovery of swallowing function compared to conventional methods. Although limited by small sample size, this case report supports the potential of BVSD as a more patient-friendly and efficient surgical approach for tonsillectomy, warranting further investigation in larger, controlled studies

Abstract

Obesity occurs due to excess energy stored in body fat tissue, resulting from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. In adolescence, obesity is a multifactorial health problem influenced by genetic, behavioral, environmental, and social factors, and is a known risk factor for hypertension. The pathogenesis of hypertension in obese individuals involves abnormal adipose tissue activity in producing hormones and adipokines, although the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Several studies have linked obesity to hypertension, but mostly in adult populations, where the indicators for obesity differ from those for adolescents and children. In younger populations, overweight or obesity assessment should be based on BMI-for-age charts adjusted for sex, yet studies in adolescents often still use adult criteria. This study aimed to determine the association between obesity and hypertension among adolescents in Ponorogo. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using data from the 2024 PASHMINA (Pelayanan Kesehatan Remaja Milik NA) health screening program organized by Regional Board of Nasyiatul Aisyiyah of Ponorogo among senior high school students. A total of 179 respondents participated, with 65.9% female and 65.4% having normal nutritional status. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 6.1%, while obesity prevalence was 12.8%. Hypertension was more common in obese adolescents (26.1%) compared to non-obese adolescents (3.2%), with obesity increasing the risk of hypertension by 10.66 times (p < 0.001). These findings highlight the need for appropriate obesity assessment methods in adolescents and the importance of nutrition education, promotion of physical activity, early detection, and regular health monitoring to prevent hypertension from an early age.

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexists with chronic heart failure (CHF), imposing a “double chronic burden” that may severely affect patients’ quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to evaluate QoL in CHF patients with AF using the SF-36 questionnaire, focusing on the most impaired physical and mental domains. A descriptive study was conducted on 30 adult patients (≥40 years) attending the Cardiology Clinic of Mitra Medika Amplas Hospital, Medan. QoL was assessed using the validated Indonesian version of SF-36, and data were analyzed descriptively. The mean age was 62 years, with 70% female, 76.7% having non-valvular AF, and common comorbidities including coronary artery disease (43.3%) and hypertension (33.3%). Physical domains were severely impaired, with role physical (24.17), general health (37.00), and physical functioning (44.00), resulting in a low Physical Component Summary (PCS) of 30.0. In contrast, mental domains were relatively preserved, with mental health (80.93), vitality (80.17), and social functioning (76.35), yielding a Mental Component Summary (MCS) of 57.5. These findings indicate that CHF patients with AF experience substantial physical limitations despite maintained mental well-being, highlighting the importance of interventions targeting physical function while supporting psychosocial health.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease with a high prevalence and a significant risk of serious complications if not properly managed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rational use of antihypertensive drugs in hypertensive patients at Peusangan Siblah Krueng Public Health Center, Bireuen District, based on the criteria of appropriate indication, appropriate patient, appropriate drug, and appropriate dose according to JNC VIII guidelines. This was a descriptive observational study with a retrospective approach using medical records of hypertensive patients in 2023. A total of 185 patients were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collected included patient identity, diagnosis, type of antihypertensive drugs, dosage, and administration. Rationality was evaluated using the 4T classification (appropriate indication, patient, drug, and dose) in accordance with JNC VIII guidelines. The results showed that appropriateness of indication and patient both reached 100%. Appropriateness of drug was 96.8%, with the majority of patients receiving amlodipine as the main therapy. Appropriateness of dose was 98.9%, with a small proportion of inappropriateness observed in patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus. Overall, the use of antihypertensive drugs in hypertensive patients at Peusangan Siblah Krueng Public Health Center, Bireuen District, can be categorized as rational based on the 4T criteria, although some discrepancies remain in drug selection and dosage, particularly among patients with comorbidities.
