Abstract

Background: Since WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, Indonesia, including RSUD Gambiran Kediri, has experienced a sharp increase in morbidity and mortality. The global incidence of acute stroke in COVID-19 patients is 1.4%, with symptoms varying from mild to severe, including death. Elevated serum D-dimer in COVID-19 patients can be a biomarker to predict severe complications. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between elevated serum D-dimer levels (mild, moderate, severe) with mortality in acute stroke patients with COVID-19. Methods: Observational analytic study with a cross-sectional method using secondary data from medical records of patients admitted to RSUD Gambiran Kediri from March 2020 to June 2023. Patients were categorized based on serum D-dimer levels: normal (<0.5 mg/L), mild (<1 mg/L), moderate (1-2 mg/L), and severe (>2 mg/L). Results: Of 101 acute stroke patients with COVID-19, 52.48% were male. A total of 90 patients had elevated D-dimer levels, with 44 patients dying. Spearman correlation test and Chi-square test showed no significant association between D-dimer levels and mortality (p>0.005). Conclusion: There is no association between elevated serum D-dimer levels and mortality in acute stroke patients with COVID-19.

Abstract

This systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) in alleviating pain in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Chronic low back pain, a widespread and debilitating condition, necessitates the exploration of effective, non-pharmacological interventions to improve patient quality of life. This review examined studies from 2014 to 2024, sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar, focusing on randomized controlled trials that utilized KT as a primary or adjunctive therapy. The findings indicate that when combined with conventional therapies, KT often leads to notable pain reduction and functional improvement in CLBP patients. However, inconsistencies across studies reveal varied outcomes, particularly concerning KT's benefits over placebo or sham taping. Factors such as application technique, duration, and patient-specific characteristics influence KT's efficacy, emphasizing the need for standardized methodologies in future research. While KT shows promise as part of a comprehensive treatment approach, further investigation with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up is warranted to establish definitive application guidelines and confirm its role in managing CLBP.

Abstract

Sleep plays a crucial role in human growth, particularly during slow-wave sleep when the growth hormone functions optimally. Sleep disturbances are prevalent in 20–30% of children. Over the past century, there has been a notable decline in children’s sleep duration, with the most significant reductions observed in school-aged children. This study investigates the relationship between sleep patterns and the height of boys aged 8–11 years at Muhammadiyah 4 Elementary School in Malang. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 98 boys who met the inclusion criteria. Data on height and weight were collected from school records, while sleep pattern information was obtained through parent-completed questionnaires. Statistical analysis was conducted using Fisher's exact test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The results revealed no significant association between sleep patterns and children's height (p = 0.649). Most participants were 8 years old, with poor sleep patterns observed. However, based on maternal and paternal height, the majority were categorized as having an appropriate height. This study concludes that there is no significant relationship between sleep patterns and the height of boys aged 8–11 years at Muhammadiyah 4 Elementary School in Malang

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes the narrowing of the arterial lumen, and it is considered the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and stroke. Cardiovascular disease is the leading of death globally. Atherosclerosis has a complex pathophysiology, such as endothelial dysfunction, thickening of the tunica intima, and the formation of atheromatous plaques. After that process, foam cells will form, which is the key to the development of atherosclerosis. Petai ethanol extract contains antioxidants, which are flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, that can reduce the number of Low-Density lipoproteins (LDL). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of petai ethanol extract on the number of atherosclerotic foam cells in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus strain wistar) induced by lard. The method of this study was a genuinely experimental and post-test-only control group design with 25 rats divided into five control groups, which are one negative control group, one positive control group, and three treatment groups with extract doses of 100mg/kgBW, 200mg/kgBW and 400mg/kgBW. Observation of foam cells was carried out using a microscope with 400x magnification. Data were analyzed using Oneway ANOVA and Post Hoc Tamhane's test. The results of the study using the Oneway ANOVA test showed that there were significant differences between groups (p: 0.000). Post Hoc Tamhane's test between the positive control group and treatment groups 1, 2, and 3 can be seen that there is a significant difference between the formation of foam cells due to the administration of petai ethanol extract compared to positive control (p <0.05). This study concludes that Petai ethanol extract was effective in reducing the number of atherosclerotic foam cells formed.
