Abstract

Streptococcus agalactiae is a gram-positive coccus bacterium that is rarely reported to cause genital infections in males. This study discusses case of a young man with lesions on the genital as a secondary infection caused by Streprococcus agalactiae. A 25-year-old man came to the dermatology and venereology clinic of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, complaining of a wound on the penis that had not healed in the last 3 months ago, The patient has a history of having sex with men without using a condom and frequently changing partners. The patient was known to be infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and the results of the IgG HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus-2) serological examination were positive. The results of microbiological examination of the wound bed swab sample showed the growth of Streptococcus agalactiae. Previously the patient received antiretroviral therapy, clindamycin oral, and erythromycin cream. The wound on the penis got better, but before the wound completely recovered, the patient did not visit anymore. Streptococcus agalactiae secondary infection in cases of sexually transmitted infections is a rare case. In this case, the finding of Streptococcus agalactiae can be considered as a pathogen. In cases of sexually transmitted infections with sores on the genital, a microbiological examination is recommended to determine the causative microorganism, and an antibiotic sensitivity test to determine the therapy.

Abstract

Snakebite envenomation is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions of individuals living in underdeveloped countries. Cerebral complications are often found in venomous snake bite victims. Certain snake venoms can interfere with the blood's ability to clot, increasing the risk of bleeding in the brain and potentially causing a stroke. previous literature review studies have not comprehensively reviewed stroke hemorrhagic after snake bites. Therefore, we are interested in conducting a literature review using the scoping review method on stroke hemorrhagic after snake bites. The samples in this study were published articles from international journals related to cerebral complications after snakebite that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria used in this study were articles derived from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases, using the keywords “Snakebite” OR “Snake envenoming” AND “Stroke hemorrhagic”. Based on the eligibility, Six articles were finally synthesized in the study. All of papers were a case report design. Three cases were from Brazil, three cases from Morocco, Burkina Faso and Togo. The snake that causes hemorrhagic stroke in Brazil is Bothropp spp. however, the type of snake in the instances from Burkina Faso and Morocco is unknown. There were a total of 10 instances reported from 6 journals. One patient from Morocco died, while another patient from Brazil suffered from prolonged hemiplegia. Furthermore, a total of 8 more patients were released from the hospital in an improved condition.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and approximately 25% of the global population is afflicted with this bacterium. In 2022,The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Xpert MTB/RIF Molecular Test and Thorax Radiography as diagnostic tools for tuberculosis at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital. The research employed quantitative methodologies with a cross-sectional design. The majority of tuberculosis suspects at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital were individuals aged 64 years or older, based on age group. In terms of gender, 498 individuals were male. According to the Xpert MTB/RIF molecular test, 89 individuals tested positive for tuberculosis. In contrast, the number of individuals who tested positive for tuberculosis through thorax photo examination was 184. The findings indicate that the majority of patients suspected of having Tuberculosis were males and were primarily in the age category of above 64 years old. Thorax photo radiography yielded a higher number of confirmed positive tuberculosis findings compared to the Xpert MTB/RIF molecular test, based on the evaluation of individuals suspected of having tuberculosis.

Abstract

Tahajud prayer is a night prayer that is performed when most people are fast asleep, in the last third of the night. Physiologically, human life has a diurnal circadian rhythm pattern. If this pattern is accompanied by the obligation to perform tahajud prayer, the circadian rhythm pattern can become nocturnal. As a result, the central nervous system undergoes behavioral changes aimed at adjusting to changes in circadian rhythms. Stress is a condition where a person's physical and psychological balance is disturbed due to a trigger and can hinder a person in carrying out their tasks. Through prayer, a person will feel close to the Creator, all tiredness, problems, burden of thoughts, and emotions, all of which are abandoned during prayer in a solemn manner. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is a relationship between the intensity of tahajud prayer and stress levels in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Ahmad Dahlan University Yogyakarta. The research method used in this study is an observational analytic quantitative method using a cross-sectional design. The research sample amounted to 153 students of the Faculty of Medicine, Ahmad Dahlan University. The research instruments were the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) questionnaire and the Tahajud Prayer Practice questionnaire. Statistical tests using the Rank-Spearman test found a p-value of 0.000 < α (0.05) with a correlation coefficient of -0.342 and the Kendall's Tau test found a p-value of 0.000 < α (0.05) with a correlation coefficient of -0.328 indicating moderate correlation strength. The conclusion of this study is that there is an inversely proportional relationship between the intensity of tahajud prayer and stress levels in Ahmad Dahlan University Faculty of Medicine students which means that the higher the intensity of tahajud prayer, the lower the stress level tends to be, and vice versa, if the intensity of tahajud prayer is lower, stress levels tend to be higher. Therefore, it is expected that students can increase the intensity of tahajud prayer in their daily lives to reduce stress levels.

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country situated on the Ring of Fire, which frequently experiences earthquakes. Cilacap Regency is ranked 456th nationally with a medium-risk classification in the Earthquake Disaster Risk Index for the year 2021. The impact of earthquakes depends on their type and magnitude, including on schools, with 52,902 schools located in earthquake-prone areas. During the 2018 NTB Earthquake, 1,235 schools experienced damage. Earthquakes can also occur while children are studying at school. Elementary schools are one of the foundations of the children's community. The group of elementary school children is a vulnerable group that needs protection and, at the same time, needs to enhance their knowledge of earthquake disaster mitigation. One enjoyable medium to educate elementary school children about earthquake disaster mitigation is through comics.To determine the influence of Education with Comic Media on the Knowledge of Earthquake Disaster Mitigation for 4th-grade students at SD Islam Al-Azhar 16 Cilacap, a research was conducted using a qualitative research method with a Pre Experimental design using the One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling, so all 78 members of the population were included as samples.Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a Z-value of -6.941 and a significance value (p-value) of 0.000, at α = 0.05. This means that there is a significant difference in the average knowledge between before and after providing Education with Comic Media for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation.

Abstract

Phacoemulsification is a common cataract surgery that improves visual acuity. Postoperative visual outcomes may be influenced by diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to compare visual acuity outcomes after phacoemulsification in cataract patients with and without DM. It used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach, analyzing medical records of 60 cataract patients (30 with DM, 30 without DM). Inclusion criteria were patients with and without DM who underwent phacoemulsification and had visual acuity results 21 days post-surgery. Patients using antidiabetic drugs or insulin were included, while those with incomplete medical records, glaucoma, corneal opacities, cataract complications, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, hypertensive retinopathy, or chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis were excluded. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results showed visual acuity in both groups mostly fell within the normal category based on WHO standards (6/6–6/18), with 23 (76.7%) patients in the DM group and 27 (90%) in the non-DM group. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in visual acuity between groups (p = 0.150). In conclusion, there is no significant difference in postoperative visual acuity between cataract patients with and without DM undergoing phacoemulsification.

Abstract

Sudden death represents a significant global health burden that can affect any population. The potential for sudden death to affect any individual at any time underscores the importance of investigating this issue. The findings of this study may serve to reinforce existing evidence regarding sudden death, thereby facilitating the implementation of additional measures in a timely and appropriate manner. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of sudden death cases in RSUD dr. Moewardi from 2017 to 2022, identify the socio-demographic profile of the most vulnerable population groups, and ascertain the most predominant system of involvement. Research was conducted with descriptive observational study, cross-sectional design, and purposive sampling. Subject consists of sudden death cases in the Medical Forensic and Medico Legal Installation in RSUD dr. Moewardi from 2017 to 2022. Of the 100 cases, the highest number was observed in 2020, representing 29% of the total cases. Individuals in the pre-elderly age group (39%) and male gender (88%) are most likely to experience sudden death. The primary cause of suspected sudden death is of other systems involvement (57.3%), with the cardiovascular system (54.54%) being the most common cause of sudden death. Sense-related abnormalities are the predominant indicator of past comorbidities in both suspected (56.17%) and sudden death cases (72.72%). The author concluded that pre-elderly male individuals are the most vulnerable to sudden death. The primary cause of suspected sudden death is of the other systems of involvement and the cardiovascular system in sudden death, with sense organ abnormalities being the predominant comorbidity indicator in both instances.
