Abstract

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is still a disease with abundant enigma. Moreover, the prevalence of AD increases every year by about 10 million new cases. This disease is well known for its degenerative feature with age being the most influencing factor. Pathophysiologically, the deposition of beta-amyloid and tau proteins is the culprit for disrupting the neural connections in the brains of AD patients. Some studies have stated that drug medications are not effective in treating AD patients.Content: Currently, there is no drug to cure the disease. In conditions in which drugs fail to take effect, there is a therapy called deep brain stimulation (DBS), which allows the brain to be stimulated electrically using electrodes that are implanted into certain brain areas as targets. In AD patients, the nucleus basalis of meynert (NBM) and fornix are frequently selected as targets in DBS. This intervention is performed surgically by the neurosurgeon. Several potential mechanisms of this treatment include controlling connections among neurons, decreasing beta-amyloid and tau protein levels, and inhibiting the inflammation process in the brain.Conclusion: DBS can improve AD patients, both clinically and molecularly. Despite the promising effects of DBS, this treatment has limitations, so it cannot be applied to every patient with AD.

Abstract

Introduction: The rate of sudden cardiac death among athletes is notably high due to cardiovascular disorders. However, there is a significant gap in fundamental electrocardiographic (ECG) data within the athlete population, particularly in Gorontalo Province. This study aims to describe the electrocardiography findings using international standards for athletes in Gorontalo Province, aiming to prevent the risk of sudden death through proactive early detection via ECG.Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive design, we employed total sampling techniques with a population of 80 active athletes. Data was collected through direct examinations using a high-quality, internationally standardized ECG device, followed by thorough descriptive analysis.Results: The results indicate that 90% of the athletes displayed normal ECGs, while 6.3% were classified as abnormal and 3.7% as borderline. Among the various athletic disciplines, endurance athletes showed a notable 9.4% rate of abnormalities, whereas athletes engaged in strength and mind sports consistently exhibited normal ECG results. Moreover, athletes in the productive age group (19–39 years) demonstrated a higher incidence of abnormalities than their counterparts in other age groups.Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of early electrocardiographic screening in athletes to identify potential cardiovascular risks and prevent sudden cardiac death. The findings reveal that most athletes in Gorontalo Province exhibit normal ECG results, followed by abnormal (6.3%) and borderline (3.7%) patterns, which undoubtedly require further investigation. These findings highlight the importance of regular ECG screening for active athletes to detect potential cardiovascular abnormalities early and prevent sudden cardiac events.Keywords: Athlete, cross-sectional studies, electrocardiography, international criteria, sudden cardiac death

Abstract

Myiasis is a prevalent parasitic infection which predominantly observed in rural regions among humans. In the practice of otolaryngology, this medical condition has the potential to impact the auditory organs, nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oral cavity, and the integumentary system of the craniofacial region. We reported a case in a 77-year-old woman who came to the emergency department due to chronic ear pain followed by the emergence of maggots. The chronic wound in the ear is the culprit in this condition. Dipterous larvae undergo their life cycle within the body of vertebrates which are attracted to open wounds. The primary objective in the treatment of myiasis is the eradication of maggots. In this case, we present successful treatment of aural myiasis following the complete removal of the maggot and treating the underlying condition. This case taught the lesson that myiasis could affect the human auditory system, especially in chronic untreated ear lesions with poor sanitation. Removing the larva and treating the underlying disease is the key treatment.Keywords: Earache, myiasis, larva

Abstract

Introduction: Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. The prevalence of blindness due to untreated cataracts remains quite high in Indonesia. In Eastern Indonesia, where there are limited healthcare facilities and scarce published data, this problem is particularly pronounced. Although cataract surgery is an effective intervention for restoring vision, postoperative visual outcomes can vary based on various patient-related clinical factors. No reported studies have addressed this issue in North Maluku. This study aims to analyze how clinical characteristics influence visual outcomes in patients after cataract surgery at Tidore Islands City Regional Hospital.Method: This research employed an observational analytical study with cross sectional design. This study used secondary data recorded at the Tidore Islands City Regional Hospital in 2020–2023 that meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The clinical characteristics assessed included age, gender, occupation, cataract stage, postoperative complications, and systemic comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Visual acuity was measured using Snellen chart and converted into logMAR units for analysis and classification according to WHO criteria. Data analysis was performed using simple logistic regression.Results: Simple logistic regression showed no association between visual outcomes and age (p=0.089), gender (p=0.160), or occupation (p=1.395). Significant associations were observed for cataract stage (p=0.014), postoperative complications (p=0.004), and presence of comorbidities (p0.001).Conclusion: Age, gender, and occupation were not associated with visual outcomes. Cataract stage, postoperative complications, and comorbidities were significantly associated with outcomes. Diabetes mellitus was the most influential factor. Keywords: Cataract, cataract extraction, comorbidity, diabetes mellitus, visual acuity

Abstract

Introduction: Body image refers to an individual’s perception and evaluation of their physical appearance. A positive body image plays a crucial role in enhancing self-esteem, psychological resilience, and overall mental and physical well-being. In contrast, a negative body image has been linked to mental health problems, such as depression and disordered eating. This study aimed to examine the associations between various contributing factors and body image among medical students.Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 67 medical students, selected through total population sampling. Data collection instruments included the Figure Rating Scale, Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), a 24-hour dietary recall, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to assess self-confidence. All instruments exhibited acceptable levels of validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square and Binary Logistic Regression Methods.Results: Significant associations were identified between body image and physical activity (p = 0.040), self-confidence (p = 0.018), and body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI (OR = 1.766, p = 0.002, 95% CI [0.644–2.888]), self-confidence (OR = 0.311, p = 0.045, 95% CI [0.099–0.975]), and physical activity (OR = 1.966, p = 0.031, 95% CI [1.063–3.831]) were significant predictors of body image.Conclusion: Body mass index, self-confidence, and physical activity were significantly associated with body image. The implementation of educational and psychological support programs is recommended to promote healthy self-perception and behavioral patterns among medical students.Keywords: Body image, body mass index, medical, motor activity, self-concept, students
