Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress is common among medical students, particularly women who may be hormonally more susceptible. Primary dysmenorrhea—menstrual pain without pelvic pathology—is often intensified by stress and can hinder academic performance. Objective: To examine the relationship between academic stress and primary dysmenorrhea among female medical students at Tanjungpura University. Methods: This analytical observational study used a cross-sectional design involving 123 female medical students selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Academic stress was measured using the Medical Student Stress Questionnaire (MSSQ), and menstrual pain was assessed with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Result: Most respondents reported severe academic stress (57.7%) and mild dysmenorrhea (44.7%). A moderate positive correlation was found between academic stress and dysmenorrhea severity (r = 0.302; p = 0.0001). Conclusion: A meaningful relationship exists between academic stress and the severity of primary dysmenorrhea in female medical students. The use of MSSQ highlights academic stressors specific to medical training. Targeted stress management strategies may help reduce menstrual pain and improve student well-being.

Abstract

The skin is the largest organ and plays an important role as a protector of the body. In geriatric populations, physiological changes in the skin due to aging increase susceptibility to various skin diseases. Local data on the characteristics of geriatric patients with skin diseases are still limited, especially in Makassar. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics of geriatric patients with skin diseases at Ibnu Sina Makassar Hospital. The research design was a cross-sectional descriptive study with a total sampling of 54 geriatric patients (≥60 years) who were treated at the Skin and Venerean Outpatient Polyclinic of RSP Ibnu Sina Makassar for the 2022–2024 period. Data was obtained through medical records, then analyzed descriptively using SPSS and Excel.   Most patients were aged 60–74 years (74.1%), male (51.9%), and civil servant/retired (57.4%). As many as 74.1% of patients did not have comorbidities; Diabetes mellitus was the most comorbid (13%). Non-infectious skin diseases dominated (50%), followed by fungal infections (25.9%), bacterial (16.7%), and viral (7.4%). The most common diagnoses were senilic pruritus (20.4%), followed by tinea corporis (13%), as well as seborrheic dermatitis, lichen simplex, and shingles at 7.4% each. Geriatric patients with skin diseases at the Ibnu Sina Makassar Hospital Outpatient Polyclinic for the 2022–2024 period are dominated by 60–74 years old, male, and most of the jobs are civil servants/retirees.

Abstract

Background: The increase in global obesity rates seems to be a consequence of changes in the global food system that lead to a shift in dietary patterns from traditional foods to fast food consumption. Increasing evidence from cross-sectional studies conducted around the world has shown that consumption of fast food is consistently associated with changes in body weight and obesity. The distribution of fat in different countries is influenced by genetic factors and external or environmental factors such as diet and physical activity. The results show that the Chinese have a higher body fat percentage than the Europeans. Genes are important factors that make up the human body, but the environment also plays an important role. This environment includes behavior or lifestyle patterns. Objective: To determine the effect of age and gender on body fat mass of UMM employees Methods: This research is an analytic observational study with the Cross Sectional method which was conducted to determine the effect of age and gender on fat mass in UMM employees. The total sample in this study was 50 employees. Data collection was carried out by filling out questionnaires and measuring using a microtoise and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Results: The results of the correlation test of age data on body fat mass found that there was no relationship between age and fat mass. Meanwhile, the influence of gender on body fat mass found a relationship between gender and body fat mass in employees of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. Conclusion: There was no effect of age on body fat mass of UMM employees and there was an effect of gender on body fat mass of UMM employees.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is the cause of death and morbidity among children 0-59 months. Stunting can be associated with some factors such as child factors, maternal factors, and feeding patterns, especially exclusive breastfeeding. Objectives: Determine the effects of exclusive breastfeeding and demographic factors (gender, mother age and education) associated with stunting incidence among 0-59 months child in Public Health Center. Method: This was an observational analytic study with a case-control design involving 132 children under five in the Ngletih Health Center area. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe variables, Chi-square tests to assess associations, and logistic regression to estimate the magnitude of effects. Result: Chi-square analysis showed a significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting (p=0.005), while no significant associations were found for child gender (p=0.601), maternal age (p=0.367), and maternal education (p=0.052). Logistic regression indicated that children without exclusive breastfeeding had a higher risk of stunting (OR=3.009). The proportion of stunting was 59% among children of mothers with junior high school education and 55% among those with senior high school education. Conclusion: Lack of exclusive breastfeeding is significantly associated with stunting (p=0.004; OR=3.009; 95%CI=1.434–6.312). Strengthening maternal nutrition education programs is essential to reduce stunting risk

Abstract

Lead (Pb) exposure is associated with nephrotoxicity, particularly structural alterations of the glomerulus mediated by oxidative stress. Tamarind fruit (Tamarindus indica L.) contains antioxidant compounds and vitamin C that may help attenuate lead-induced renal alterations. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ethanol extract of tamarind fruit on the glomerular area of Wistar rat kidneys exposed to lead. This experimental study conducted a post-test only control group design using 20 male Wistar rats. All groups were induced with lead acetate at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight/day for 14 days. Treatment groups received ethanol extract of tamarind fruit (TFE) at doses of 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg body weight/day. Glomerular area was assessed histologically, and data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and PostHoc. The results showed a significant difference in glomerular area among groups (p < 0.05). Administration of TFE at a dose of 12.5 mg/kg body weight/day demonstrated a more favorable glomerular area compared to the lead-only group, whereas higher doses did not show additional improvement. These findings suggest that low-dose TFE may influence glomerular structural changes induced by lead exposure.

Abstract

Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Therapeutic strategies that simultaneously improve insulin sensitivity and preserve β-cell secretory capacity are essential for effective metabolic control. Momordica charantia has been traditionally used as an antidiabetic agent; however, evidence regarding its effects on insulin resistance and β-cell function based on HOMA indices remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Momordica charantia on insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell secretory capacity in a rat model of T2DM using HOMA-IR and HOMA-β parameters. An experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control group design was conducted using 36 male Wistar rats randomly assigned into six groups (n = 6 per group). T2DM was induced using the streptozotocin–nicotinamide (STZ–NA) protocol. Treatment groups received oral Momordica charantia fruit extract at doses of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg body weight, while a comparator group received vildagliptin. Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels were measured, and HOMA-IR and HOMA-β indices were calculated. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis tests. Treatment groups Momordica charantia administration significantly reduced HOMA-IR values and increased HOMA-β values compared with the untreated diabetic group (p < 0.05). These findings indicate improved insulin sensitivity and partial restoration of pancreatic β-cell secretory capacity in treated rats. Administration of Momordica charantia improves insulin resistance and enhances pancreatic β-cell function in a T2DM rat model, supporting its potential role as a herbal-based adjunctive agent in the modulation of metabolic disturbances in type-2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Leprosy remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, and peripheral neuropathy is a major cause of disability in affected patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral mekobalamin in reducing neuropathic pain and improving peripheral sensory function in leprosy-related neuropathy. A pre-experimental one-group pre–post clinical study was conducted from March to May 2023 involving 31 adult leprosy patients. Participants received oral mekobalamin 500 micrograms every eight hours for 90 days. Neuropathic pain was assessed using the Douleur Neuropathique-4 and Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs questionnaires. Sensory function was evaluated using the Semmes–Weinstein monofilament test. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-tests. The mean Douleur Neuropathique-4 score decreased from 6.39 ± 1.38 to 5.13 ± 1.12 (p<0.001), and the mean Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs score decreased from 16.45 ± 2.79 to 14.11 ± 2.86 (p<0.001). Significant improvement in tactile sensation was observed in selected peripheral nerves. Oral mekobalamin administered for three months significantly reduced neuropathic pain and improved peripheral sensory function, suggesting its potential role as adjunct therapy in leprosy neuropathy.
