Abstract

Coronary heart disease is the world’s biggest killer. It is influenced by several risk factors, such as age, gender, blood pressure, body mass index, physical activity, diabetes mellitus, and smoking habit. This study aimed to describe the level of risk factors for coronary heart disease in 10 years according to The Jakarta cardiovascular score. The research used a descriptive method with a cross sectional design. The population of the study was 45 workers in the subdistrict office of South Cimahi. Samples were taken using simple random sampling. The majority of the workers in South Cimahi sub-district are male employees aged 50-54 years old (24.44%). Four people (8.9%) in the population were classified as having hypertension. While the majority, 97.8%, had normal glucose levels. However, only four people included in the category of obesity (8.9%). 51.1% of the employees, or 23 individuals, were smokers. The average workers in the South Cimahi district office had heavy physical activity, namely 24 people (53.3%). Based on The Jakarta cardiovascular score tool, there were 13 respondents who were included in the low-risk category (28.9%), while 26 respondents (57.8%) were included in the medium-risk category, and 6 respondents (13.3%) were at the high-risk category. The Jakarta cardiovascular score ranked the majority of the sub-district office workers in South Cimahi to be in the medium-risk category of developing coronary heart disease; therefore, education and prevention are required.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. More than 90% of patients on ventilators with COVID-19 infections develop pneumonia, and 40% develop ARDS. The severity of the disease is influenced by a number of variables, such as age and comorbid factors. In July 2021, Indonesia experienced a very high increase, namely 948,467 new positive cases and 20,877 deaths. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for COVID-19 patients on ventilators at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital. The descriptive research method was employed. Data collection was taken from medical records. The sample in the study was 76 people who were COVID-19 patients on ventilators at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital from July to September 2021. The majority of COVID-19 patients were adults (60.5%) and male (53.9%). The results of the CT-value examination showed 63.2% of patients had CT values <29 (strong positives). The results of the D-dimer examination found that 94.7% of patients had abnormal results ≥500 ng/dL, and the results of the radiological examination found that 96.1% of patients indicated pneumonia. Patients with comorbid conditions included 46.1% with diabetes mellitus, 44.7% with hypertension, 31.6% with obesity, and 5.3% with cardiovascular disease. It was found that 80.3% of patients died at the end of treatment. DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v2n1.p29-37 REFERENCE Ciotti M, Ciccozzi M, Terrinoni A, Jiang W, Wang C, Bernardini S, et al.

Abstract

A caesarean section (CS) is a surgical procedure that has several risks, such as uterine rupture, infection, bleeding, thrombosis, and damage to the bladder, ureters, or intestines. Compared to primary CS, multiple repeat caesarean sections (MRCS) are associated with additional risks, including placenta previa, abnormal placental invasion, difficulty in surgical dissection, longer surgeries, and greater amounts of bleeding. A woman, age 40 years, G7P4A2, gravida aterm, weight 64.4 kg, height 150 cm, Mallampati score 1, open mouth >3 cm, thyromental distance > 3 fingers, neck circumference 33 cm, former caesarean section 4 times, would have her caesarean section and sterilization at Melinda Woman Hospital Bandung-Indonesia. A caesarean section was performed under general anesthesia, induction with propofol, atracurium, and sevoflurane, and maintenance anesthesia with N2O/O2-sevoflurane. Induction-delivery time: 16 minutes, uterine incision 50 seconds, baby born with 1-minute Apgar score was 9 and 5-minute Apgar score was 10. Analgetic fentanyl is given after birth at a dose of 1.5 mcg/kgBw intravenously. There were no caesarean-section complications. Postoperatively, the patient was treated in the wards. Due to concerns about heavy bleeding, which would require massive transfusions, anesthesia was performed under general anesthesia due to the fact that massive transfusions make patient uncomfortable because of various complications of massive transfusion DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v2n1.p38-45 REFERENCE Cook JR, Jarvis S, Knight M, Dhanjal MK.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Chronic hyperglycemia indiabetes mellitus can cause various complications, one of which is diabetic nephropathy,which affects the kidney. Chronic hyperglycemia causes an increase in free radicals and adecrease in antioxidant activity resulting in oxidative stress conditions. This study aims to determine kidney damage caused by oxidative stress and the role of antioxidants in reducingthis damage through literature studies. The literature used comes from Google search results such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and ScienceDirect. From the search results, ten journals meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for review and comparison so that a conclusion could be drawn. The results of this literature study have demonstrated that biochemical parameters, such as increased levels of creatinine, urea, malondialdehyde (MDA), and decreased antioxidant enzymes, as well as kidney histological parameters, such as changes in the shape of tubules, glomeruli, and increased kidney expression, are indicators of kidney damage caused by oxidative stress. The mechanism of antioxidants in reducing kidney damage is through DNA cutting, binding to phenolic OH groups, down-regulation of the oxidase expression of nitrogen oxides 4 nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (Nox4 NADPH), antioxidant enzyme systems, activation of the activated protein kinase pathway - silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1- peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (AMPK-SirT1- PGC-1 α), protein glycation reactions, and inhibition of protein 53 (P53) so that erythroid nuclear factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) can activate antioxidant gene transcription.

Abstract

Myeloradiculopathy, a condition that involves the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots, is the major cause of disability patients. Most patients with myeloradiculopathy receive surgical intervention with the aim of removing the underlying compression injury from the nerve, decompressing the cord, and moving it without friction or further damage. Surgery on the spine and spinal cord has broadened its scope in recent years. The anterior approach is a challenging procedure given the various vascular, osseous, nervous, and articular structures that prevent adequate exposure and the potential damage to anesthetists. Our objective was to evaluate the pre-operative analysis, maintenance during intra-operative care, and post-operative care in patients with myeloradiculopathy undergoing posterior stabilization surgery with an anterior approach (cervicosternotomy). A 23-year-old woman was diagnosed with Myeloradiculopathy at Th2 Vertebrae Level due to space-occupying extradural lesion at Th2-Th4 vertebral level with pathological fracture at Thoracal Th2 et Th7 et Th10 due to suspected spondylitis tuberculosis with paravertebral abscess, with ASA I (Physical Status Classification System). The patient was then treated with laminectomy debridement, abscess drainage, and posterior stabilization through a cervicothoracic spine surgery with an anterior approach. The patient received the preoperative assessment, intraoperative maintenance, and postoperative evaluations, which  are very important to ensure a good outcome of the cervicosternotomy with an anterior approach.

Abstract

Corona virus diseases-19 (COVID-19) affects the respiratory system and the kidneys. Kidney disorders manifestations in COVID-19 patients are AKI, AKI superimposed chronic kidney disease (CKD), and COVID -19 in CKD sufferers on hemodialysis. The SARS CoV-2 virus can cause deterioration and decline in kidney function because it can bond with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptors on the surface cells of the kidney. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study that aims to know the profile of kidney abnormalities in COVID -19 patients treated at Dustira Hospital based on the description of age, sex, type of kidney disorder, therapy, and outcome of therapy. This study takes the total sampling data in the form of medical record data from January to December 2021. During this time 275 samples were obtained. Research results show the average age of patients is 57 + 13.5 years. The majority of the patients were male (58.5%). The highest percentage of diagnosed kidney disorders in COVID-19 patients was AKI-superimposed CKD (38.2%). 53.5% COVID-19 patients with kidney disorders received conservative therapy, while 46.5% received hemodialysis With 68.7% conservative therapy and 77.3% hemodialysis, the majority of Covid-19 patients with kidney disorders were able to survive. The study concludes that COVID-19 with kidney disorders is most common in elderly men (>55 years), with the most cases developing AKI-superimposed CKD.  There were a lot of patients who receive conservative therapy but endure life, and many have therapy action hemodialysis, resulting in a higher survival rate.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a prominent health issue in Indonesia, which ranks second in the world regarding the number of patients. Rapid tuberculosis detection is crucial for early treatment, a better prognosis, and a reduction in disease transmission; however, the availability of molecular rapid tests is limited. Cross-sectional design and retrospective analyses of pre-pandemic data from 723 patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis from 2017 to 2019 were conducted in this study. The study aimed to assess the performance of clinical scoring and microscopic examination in tuberculosis diagnosis at RSUD Sayang Cianjur. The effectiveness of sequential (two-stage) and simultaneous combinations of clinical scoring and sputum smear microscopic were investigated. Performance assessments consisted of 2x2 tables, calculation according to Gordis, and Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analysis, with GenXpert results as the gold standard. The results showed lower performance of the individually performed scoring system, with clinical scoring having a sensitivity of 34.44% and a specificity of 97.15%. Microscopic Acid Fast Bacteria (AFB) had a sensitivity of 70.20% and a specificity of 98.57%. The net sensitivity of the sequential combination was 28.48%, and the specificity was 99.05%. The net sensitivity of the simultaneous combination was 77.15%, and the specificity was 95.72%. The area under the curve from the sequential diagnostic method was 0.728, and the area under the curve of the simultaneous diagnostic was 0.884. The sequential and simultaneous combinations of clinical scoring and the AFB microscopy improved the test performance. The simultaneous combination performed slightly better than the sequential combination. DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v2n2.p63-72 REFERENCE Bagcchi S. WHO's Global Tuberculosis Report 2022.

Abstract

A balanced microbiota can play a role in the host's defense mechanism against pathogenic infections. E. coli is a harmless and beneficial commensal. An increase in bacteria will change their nature to become pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal disease, such as diarrhea. The management of such condition can be managed in several ways, including the consumption of probiotics. Fruitghurt is a variant of yogurt that is made using fruit juice. L. acidophilus is resistant to stomach acid; it can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and can maintain the number of live bacteria up to 107/ml. The research design used was experimental. The research subjects were white rats (Rattus norvegicus), with the Wistar strain as many as 27 rats. They were divided into 3 groups: 1. K (-),a negative control group that was not induced by E. coli and was not given fruitghurt; 2. K (+)a positive control group that was given E.coli, but not treated by fruitghurt; and 3. P1, the treatment group that was induced with E.coli and treated by fruitghurt. The results showed that guava fruitghurt could reduce E. coli colonies. The number of E. coli colonies after being given fruitghurt was 161, while in the rats that were not given fruitghurt, there were 258 colonies. Guava fruitghurt can reduce E. coli because of the flavonoid, tannin, and polyphenol contents found in red guava, which act as  protein coagulators, antibacterials, and toxins, as well as L. acidophilus bacteria that can inhibit the growth and attachment of pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract and inhibit the spread of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging disease with clinical symptoms similar to severe pneumonia. It is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 encompasses various degrees of severity, including mild, moderate, severe, and critical. One of the supporting tests used to detect COVID-19 is the D-dimer test. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the relationship between D-dimer levels and the severity of COVID-19. The study was conducted at Dustira Hospital in West Java, Indonesia, from September 2022 to January 2023. D-dimer examination utilizes the Sysmex CS-2500 instrument, with a reference value of <0.5 mg/L. A sample of 42 patients was selected using the purposive sampling technique. The results revealed that the majority of confirmed COVID-19 cases were female (59.5%), with the highest proportion in the age groups of 41-50 years and 51-60 years (33.3%). Among the patients, 52.4% had moderate severity, and 64.3% had increased D-dimer levels. The average D-dimer levels in patients with moderate, severe, and critical symptoms were 0.97 mg/L, 2.33 mg/L, and 4.35 mg/L, respectively. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, which indicated a significant difference in D-dimer levels based on the severity of COVID-19 (p=0.0001). Elevated D-dimer levels occur as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which triggers an exaggerated inflammatory response leading to a cytokine storm. This, in turn, causes endothelial cell dysfunction and stimulates an excessive immune response, resulting in immune cells attacking healthy tissue. The severity of symptoms worsens as the D-dimer level increases. DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v2n2.p81-87 REFERENCE World Health Organization. WHO Official COVID-19 Info [Internet]. 2022 [cited 2022 Jul 17].

Abstract

To date, combination antiretroviral (ARV) medication is considered the most effective treatment for people infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The primary purpose of ARV administration is to reduce the viral load, thereby enhancing HIV patients' immunological condition and minimizing mortality from opportunistic infections. Nowadays, a combination of NRTI (nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor) and NNRTI (non-nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor) is accepted therapy for HIV patients. Both have a mechanism for inhibiting the reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme during viral replication. Reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme that plays a role in the reverse transcription stage of the virus reproduction process. HIV RT converts proviral RNA into DNA, and the copy infects the host or target cell. The use of RT inhibitors for HIV-infected patients is becoming more common. Many investigations were conducted on plants that have the potential to operate as anti-HIV RT.  In this review, we go over some of the potential herbs that serve as RT inhibitors. In this literature review, a search was carried out with the help of several search engines that matched the criteria, namely reverse transcriptase herbal inhibitors for HIV. The author came to the conclusion that there were 18 plants with relatively high activity as anti-HIV medicines with varied traits and working mechanisms from 162 papers gathered based on keywords. Furthermore, the findings of this study will serve as the foundation for the development of anti-HIV herbs as well as a source of antiretroviral therapy ingredients in the future.
