Abstract

The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis has increased significantly over recent decades. Osteoarthritis causes pain, swelling, stiffness, loss of function, and decreased quality of life (QoL). Although evidence suggests that increased BMI contributes to both the development and severity of knee OA, research examining the relationship between BMI, OA stage, and the degree of knee pain remains limited, highlighting the need for further investigation. This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI, the stage of knee osteoarthritis, and the degree of pain in patients with knee OA. This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design, utilizing secondary data (patient medical records). We conducted sample selection using purposive sampling. Data analysis: descriptive analysis, Chi-Square test, and logistic regression. A total of 101 respondents participated in the study, with the majority had a normal BMI (52.5%), had mild-to-moderate knee OA (56.4%), and reported mild pain (52.5%). There was a significant relationship between BMI and the stage of knee osteoarthritis with the degree of pain (p-value <0.05), with odds ratios (OR) for BMI and OA stage at 3.93 and 3.96, respectively. This indicates that higher BMI and more advanced OA stage are associated with a greater degree of knee pain in patients. Weight loss is an effective strategy to reduce mechanical stress on joints and decrease inflammatory mediators, thereby lowering chronic inflammation and alleviating pain. Further research on effective management strategies for knee OA is essential to help reduce the disease burden and improve the QoL of knee OA patients.

Abstract

Surgical procedures involving the nervous system have an incidence of intubation failure in all age categories and cause severe complications such as hypoxia, aspiration, and increased intracranial pressure, which can worsen the patient's neurological condition. Accurate preoperative assessment is important to predict intubation-related complications. One of the important predictors of intubation success is the Mallampati score. Several studies on Mallampati Score showed different results, so this study aimed to find out the relationship between Mallampati score and intubation success in neurosurgery patients. This study is an observational analysis with a cross-sectional design, conducted from February 12 to March 23, 2024. The sampling technique used a total sampling with 33 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test. Most respondents with Mallampati Score 1-2 successfully underwent intubation (42.4%). Respondents with Mallampati scores in grades 3-4 mostly experienced failed intubation (39.4%). There was a statistically significant association between Mallampati scores and intubation success in neurosurgical patients. The Mallampati score can be used as part of a comprehensive airway assessment. Additional instruments and comprehensive clinical evaluation improve the success of intubation and reduce the risk of complications. Respondents with Mallampati scores in grades 3-4 mostly experienced failed intubation (39.4. Additional instruments and comprehensive clinical evaluation can improve the success of intubation and reduce the risk of complications. Future research is encouraged to study how cultural and demographic factors affect Mallampati's score and its predictive value in different populations, which could provide insights into its generalization and application in various healthcare contexts.

Abstract

Subclinical inflammation and almost every indication of systemic inflammation, which is defined by elevated levels of inflammatory markers in the blood, are seen in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Understanding the relationship between inflammatory markers and glycemic control is essential for creating comprehensive management strategies to avoid diabetes-related complications. The aims of this study were to determine the correlation between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in DM patients. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design that was conducted on 35 DM patients from the DM prolanis group at the Bangkalan Regency First-Level Health Facility. HbA1c and hs-CRP levels were measured using the fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) method, while ESR was assessed using the Westergren method. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. Regarding the biomarkers, all respondents (100%) had HbA1c levels >8.0%, 43% had elevated hs-CRP levels associated with cardiovascular risk, and 80% had abnormal ESR values. A significant relationship was found between ESR and HbA1c (p = 0.019; r = 0.394), but no significant relationship was observed between hs-CRP and HbA1c (p = 0.351; r = 0.163). The relationship between inflammation and glycemic control in DM can be understood through the correlation of ESR, hs-CRP, and HbA1c. These findings offer practical value, particularly in monitoring disease progression and managing diabetes-related complications. Future research should investigate the effects of interventions aimed at reducing inflammation, e.g lifestyle modifications or anti-inflammatory medications, on ESR, hs-CRP, and HbA1c levels.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia (HC) is a disease caused by excessive fat consumption and a lack of physical activity. It can impact the emergence of various health disorders (e.g., heart disease, hypertension, and stroke). One of the non-pharmacological therapies to treat HC is by practicing low-impact aerobic. This study aims to determine the effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on decreasing cholesterol levels. Quasi-experimental research with a two-group pretest-posttest control group design. Purposive sampling was used in this study with inclusion criteria: patients with a cholesterol value >200 mmHg, who can do physical activity and do not take medication regularly. The sample, which comprised 64 respondents, was divided into intervention and control groups. The low-impact aerobic exercise intervention was conducted over a period of 8 weeks, with sessions held 2-3 times a week, each lasting 15 minutes. A glucose, cholesterol, uric acid (GCU) meter device was used to check cholesterol levels. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The mean decrease in cholesterol levels in the intervention group reached 55.22 mg/dl (from x̄ 245.13 mg/dl to x̄ 189.91 mg/dl). It was found a significant effect between low-impact aerobic exercise and reducing total cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). Low impact aerobic exercise intervention is cost-effective, has minimal side effects, and is effective in controlling and lowering cholesterol levels if done properly and intensively. Optimizing HC management can be done by combining HC interventions, e.g., diet, medication, and adequate physical activity. Further research on the optimization of HC management needs to be conducted.

Abstract

Malnutrition among adolescents is a crucial public health problem and tends to cause serious problems in the next generation, one of which is commonly called stunting. Adolescents As agents of change and prospective parents, adolescents play an important role in stunting prevention. The involvement of adolescents can be one of the important factors in breaking the stunting cycle. This study aims to exxplore deeper into the role of adolescents in stunting prevention efforts. Qualitative research with a phenomenological approach is used in this study. The selection of informants uses purposive sampling. There were 8 adolescent girls as the main informants and one health center nutrition officer as a supporting informant. Data obtaining uses in-depth interviews with an average interview duration of 30-40 minutes. Data analysis uses thematic analysis. There are two themes with four sub-themes, namely the role of adolescents in stunting prevention efforts (three sub-themes: clean and healthy living behavior; adolescent compliance with consuming blood-boosting tablets; adolescent involvement in health activities) and obstacles in stunting prevention efforts (one sub-theme: lack of adolescent knowledge about stunting).Lack of knowledge about stunting among the adolescents in Adow Health Center causes adolescents reluctant to play an active role in preventing stunting issues. An interesting finding is that although adolescents lack knowledge about stunting, they are not interested in seeking information about stunting. Therefore, the development of digital educational content about stunting, especially through social media platforms, is expected to attract the interest of adolescents to increase their knowledge and role in stunting prevention. Further research needs to be carried out, especially on how adolescents use social media to share information and build awareness about stunting issues among their peers.
