Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in diabetes sufferers. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe outcomes. This study presents an image processing method for retinal images to aid early detection. The method involves four steps: image enlargement, preprocessing, enhancement, and convolution. First, an algorithm enlarges the retinal image to increase resolution and reveal finer details. Preprocessing uses a min-max filtering algorithm to reduce noise and improve image quality. Next, specific pixel range enhancement techniques further refine the image and highlight relevant features. Finally, convolution with customized kernels detects and emphasizes areas indicating diabetic retinopathy, such as aneurysms and hemorrhages. Experimental results show improvement in image clarity and detail, enabling more accurate detection of diabetic retinopathy features. The correlation results are as follows: Filtering (0.35275, 0.20157, 0.4345), Enhancement (0.3214, 0.15823 0.34674), and Convolution (0.33542, 0.15758, 0.36826). The proposed algorithm enhances early detection and diagnosis by improving retinal image quality. Future work can optimize the algorithm and validate results with larger datasets, aiming to refine the determination of areas or pixel values relevant to diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract

Sedentary behavior is one of the risk factors of fracture, in which mild activity was found to be inversely associated with hip, vertebral, and total fracture. Other study also found non-linear association of fracture risk with lower and higher physical activity was associated with higher risk of any fracture compared to a mean physical activity. In this study, we reported a 54-year-old wheelchair bound female with fracture on the proximal tibia cause by low-energy trauma. This research underscores the importance of early identification of fracture risk factors, especially in vulnerable populations such as older adults who are wheelchair-bound. Early interventions that include lifestyle changes, increased physical activity, and nutritional management are essential to prevent further fractures and improve bone health. Identifying the risk of fractures on elderly patient may be beneficial for prevention of fractures especially in wheelchair-bound elderly individual.

Abstract

Knowledge about handling sports injuries is crucial for nursing students at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), who actively participate in various sports activities. This study analyzes the factors influencing students' knowledge in managing injuries. The influencing factors are categorized into internal factors—such as education, experience, age, and interest—and external factors, including mass media, socio-cultural influences, economic conditions, and environmental aspects. A cross-sectional research design was employed, involving 84 nursing students from UPI. Data were collected using a 90-item questionnaire, and analysis was conducted using the t-test. The results indicate that internal and external factors significantly influence students' knowledge of handling sports injuries, with a significance level of less than 0.05 (p < 0.05). This suggests that improvements in the internal and external factors correlated with enhanced knowledge among nursing students regarding sports injury management. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing both internal and external factors to improve nursing students' capabilities in sports injury management. Conversely, a decline in these factors corresponds with diminished knowledge levels. It is recommended that further research include a larger sample size to strengthen these findings.

Abstract

Alginate, a sugar polymer derived from algae, crosslinks with calcium ions to form a stable gel or film. Several studies already analyzed the antiviral properties of calcium alginate, whereby only some studies showed viral inhibition. This research investigates the biochemistry and conditions of calcium alginate networks to form gels and membranes by a combination of literature analysis, computational simulations, and spraying experiments. Cell culture assays were applied to test the potential of calcium alginate to inhibit viral entry into cells. These investigations demonstrate that protective effects on cultured cells depend on the specific alginate substance, the concentrations and the manner of deposition. The results confirmed conditions so that the calcium alginate forms effectively gel-like networks and thin membranes. Additionally, the experiments proved that over 50% of the infections of cells with viral particles can be inhibited easily by calcium alginate overlaying cells.

Abstract

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is linked to high mortality, extended hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. Identifying risk factors for MDR HAP is essential to formulate effective management strategies. This study analyzed the proportion of risk factors associated with MDR bacterial infections in HAP patients treated at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Using a retrospective cohort design, data were collected from medical records of HAP patients hospitalized between 2015 and 2016. A total of 68 patients met the inclusion criteria, while 10 were excluded due to fungal or non-pathogenic bacterial growth in sputum cultures. Patients were categorized as infected with MDR or non-MDR bacteria based on the resistance profile of their initial sputum cultures. Descriptive analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel to calculate proportions of risk factors, without applying inferential statistical tests due to the limited sample size. The incidence of HAP was 6.12 per 1000 admissions in 2015 and 6.15 in 2016. MDR bacterial infections were observed in 95% of cases in 2015 and 82.1% in 2016. Key risk factors for MDR infections included prior antibiotic use within 90 days (100%), albumin levels <2.5 g/dL (100%), Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3 (95.9%), age >60 years (95.2%), hospitalization >5 days (92.5%), nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion (92.1%), prior ICU/HCU admission within 90 days (81.8%), and steroid use >10 mg/day for >14 days (28.6%). These results emphasize that most HAP cases were caused by MDR bacteria, with prior antibiotic use and low albumin as predominant risk factors, necessitating targeted interventions for at-risk populations.
