Abstract

Introduction: The pandemic of COVID-19 has become a burden to the world's health system, in which strategic measures are needed, especially vaccination. However, numbers of challenge have been reported regarding the so-called most effective public health intervention, such as vaccine hesitancy. On top of that, WHO has acknowledged vaccine hesitancy in the top list of 10 most dangerous threats to global health. The spectrum related to the reluctance to receive vaccination in society has also occurred in previous infectious diseases management and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review aimed to identify factors and mechanism related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Indonesia. Method: This study provided a review of 14 literatures from 2019 to 2021 using ProQuest and Google Scholar discovered through the selected keywords. The SAGE WG model for vaccine hesitancy framework was used as the main reference in identifying and explaining the associated factors of phenomenon. Results: Based on the analysis of framework, determinants related to confidence crucial in affecting the acceptance level of COVID-19 vaccine in the community. In regard to that aspect, various factors within the scope of individual and social influences, vaccine and vaccination-specific issues, as well as contextual influences may well-explained the plausible mechanism that build hesitancy over vaccination. Accordingly, this study found that mistrust and skepticism related to the effectiveness of vaccine, safety concerns, and adverse reactions discouraged people from getting vaccinated. Furthermore, religious matters such as unavailable halal certification, along with poor socioeconomical factors, and misinformation that were spread through the media also prevent people to receive COVID-19 vaccine and risk the development of herd-immunity toward COVID-19 in the community. Conclusions: Various factors were identified regarding the development of vaccine hesitancy in Indonesia. Understanding the plausible factors and mechanism that prevented people to get COVID-19 vaccine are substantial to strategically address the phenomenon and successfully manage the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Keywords: COVID-19 – Indonesia - vaccine hesitancy – asia – outbreak - prevention

Abstract

Introduction: Stress is the body's response to threatening external stimuli. Many medical students experience stress. Stress that medical students share can be caused by learning demands, interpersonal problems, and other things. Even though stress is daily, excessive stress can also cause various health problems, including headaches. Headache is the most common neurological problem in the world. There are several types of headaches, one of which is tension headaches. However, the relationship between stress and headaches, especially tension-type headaches in medical students, has yet to be widely studied. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytic observational study, on 120 pre-clinical students (22 males, 98 females) aged 18-21 from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University in Jakarta. The questionnaire used to measure the respondent's stress levels were the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 42 (DASS-42) and Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) to determine the respondent's headache. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using the Chi-square method, with a p-value <0.05. Results: Out of 120 students, 74.2% experienced stress within normal limits, while 9.2%, 10%, 5%, and 1.7% reported experiencing mild, moderate, severe, and very severe stress levels, respectively. 30.8% of students experienced tension-type headaches, and 69.2% of students did not. The result obtained from the chi-square bivariate test was p = 0.188. Conclusions: There is no association between stress and tension-type headaches in medical students of the School of Medicine & Health Science, Atma Jaya University.   Keywords: stress, tension-type headache, DASS-42, HSQ

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia is a tropical country with high temperatures and humidity. Poor personal hygiene can trigger bacteria to grow and multiply. According to research, bacteria that are usually found in skin and hair including Staphylococcus aureus (37%), followed by Escherichia coli (17%). Use of antibacterial hairspray is expected to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria on the surface of the scalp and hair. Using natural ingredients, i.e., cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) leaves, in the form of antibacterial hairspray preparations, is expected not to irritate the scalp, be more eco-friendly, and the raw materials are easily obtained. Methods: The preparation of cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) leaves extract was carried out by maceration method with 70% ethanol (simplisia : solvent = 1:10). Furthermore, the extract was then evaluated for phytochemical content, formulation optimization, and antibacterial activity. Afterward, formulation and preparation, and lastly, its evaluation in the form of an organoleptic test, pH test, viscosity test, homogeneity test, spreadability test, adhesion test, and product stability test. Results: The results of phytochemical screening of flavonoid compounds and tannins from cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) leaves extract resulted in a positive reaction. The minimum inhibitory level of cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) leaves extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria was 40 mg/ml. Cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) leaves extract was then formulated into hairspray dosage forms with different concentrations of extract in Formula A (0.1%), Formula B (0.3%), and Formula C (0.5%). Conclusions: The hairspray formula that had the best stability after passing the freeze-thaw cycling test and physical evaluation of the preparation during storage for 28 days was Formula C. The parameters of the observed hairspray were organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, viscosity, spreadability, and adhesion. Keywords: Hairspray - Cherry Leaves – Stability - Antibacterial

Abstract

Introduction: Caffeine has been known to elevate blood pressure. However, the effect of drinking coffee on blood pressure varied among studies. This study examines the impact of coffee on the acute response of blood pressure in a late adolescent with normal blood pressure. Method: This cross-sectional study with a cross-over design involving 16 male and late female adolescents. The intervention group subjects drank a glass of 200 ml of Robusta coffee (commercial brand), while the control group drank plain water. After a 7-day washout, the intervention group became the control group and vice versa. A paired t-test was applied to evaluate systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) before and after the intervention. The significance was set at p<0.05. Results: SBP and DBP in the control group were unchanged (Δ0.8 and 0.6 mmHg, p=0.237 and 0.584, respectively). SBP and DBP in the intervention group were significantly elevated (Δ8.4 and 8.1 mmHg, p<0.01 and <0.01, respectively). Discussion: Our findings demonstrated that coffee increases SBP and DBP significantly in the late adolescent with normal BP. Increased sympathetic tones and blocking adenosine receptors are suggested to increase BP. However, some limitations were also found, so the results should be interpreted carefully. Conclusion: A 200 ml coffee (Robusta) increased SBP and DBP in late adolescents with normal blood pressure.   Keywords: Caffeine - Blood Pressure - Sympathetic Activity - Adenosine Receptor - Phosphodiesterase

Abstract

The rapid development of genetic science in recent decades has provided opportunities for clinical implementation. In the field of pharmacology, this opens up hope for the use of more targeted drugs with fewer side effects.Genetic variation's influence on pharmacological response has been well-established in practice. Patients' responses to pharmacological therapies can be varied, ranging from positive effects to serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Numerous genetic variations have been found to have a major impact on how people react to routinely prescribed medications over time, according to experts. In order to use this genetic information to inform treatment choices, a pharmacogenomic (PGx) profile can be used. PGx works on identifying and validating genomic variations that affect drug response. The generic approach to healthcare has given way to a more individualized and precise treatment paradigm as it has developed. Keywords: Adverse Drug Reactions - Genetic Variants – Pharmacogenomics - Cytochrome P450

Abstract

Introduction: Caffeine is one of the many stimulants found in popular foods and beverages consumed bythe global population. Caffeine has many benefits if it is consumed in accordance with recommended daily doses, such as reducing fatigue and facilitating activity. Caffeine consumption in excess is detrimental to the body, particularly the quality of sleep. Numerous students consume caffeine with the intention of enhancing daytime performance, but they disregard its negative effects, particularly on sleep quality. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using data collected with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a questionnaire for caffeine content based on BPOM for active students at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University, classes of 2019–2021. The Spearman test was performed to determine the relationship between the independent variable (caffeine intake) and the dependent variable (sleep quality levels). Results: There were forty respondents who satisfied the inclusion criteria. 20% of respondents had good sleep quality, whereas 80% of respondents had poor sleep quality. 60% of respondents consumed low amounts of caffeine or none at all (<32 mg), while 40% consumed high amounts of caffeine (>151mg). The analysis utilizing the Spearman test revealed that some outcomes had no effect (p = 0.876) while others did (r = 0.026). Conclusions: There is no correlation between caffeine consumption and sleep quality among active students at Atma Jaya Catholic University's School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
