Abstract

Introduction: In Indonesia, jamu (traditional herbal medicine) is culturally significant for health maintenance, including managing common ear, nose, and throat (ENT) complaints. This study explored the influence of jamu on the prevention and management of these complaints by examining patient beliefs, usage patterns, perceived outcomes, and associations with conventional healthcare-seeking. Methods: A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was used. A cross-sectional survey of 1200 Indonesian adults assessed demographics, ENT complaint prevalence, jamu use (type, frequency, perceived effectiveness), and healthcare seeking. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 survey participants who regularly used jamu for ENT issues to explore their beliefs and experiences. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression. Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Results: Survey data showed 68.5% experienced ENT complaints in the past year, with sore throat (42.3%), cough (38.7%), and nasal congestion (31.2%) most common. Among them, 53.2% used jamu, primarily turmeric-based for sore throat and ginger-based for cough and congestion. Regular jamu use was associated with perceived symptom relief (p < 0.001) but also with a higher likelihood of delaying conventional care for persistent symptoms (OR = 1.85). Interviews revealed strong cultural beliefs in jamu's efficacy and safety for mild ENT issues, often used as a first-line treatment due to its natural origin, fewer perceived side effects, and affordability. However, some acknowledged its limitations for severe conditions. Conclusion: Jamu plays a significant role in managing common ENT complaints in Indonesia, driven by strong cultural beliefs and perceived benefits. While users report symptom relief, delayed access to conventional care for serious conditions is a potential concern. Further research is needed to scientifically evaluate specific jamu formulations and develop integrated usage guidelines in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a disorder of the nasal mucosa caused by inflammation and initiated by a hypersensitivity reaction due to exposure to allergens. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with allergic rhinitis in SMA Negeri 1 Padang Indonesia students. Methods: This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 500 research subjects participated in this study, and the research subjects met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were SMA Negeri 1 Padang, Indonesia students aged 15-17 years and willing to participate in the research as evidenced by the consent of their parents or guardians to participate in this study. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software version 25. Univariate analysis was performed to present the frequency distribution of each variable test. Bivariate analysis was performed to determine the relationship between risk factors and incidence of rhinitis allergies, p < 0.05. Results: The results of the study show that gender is not related to the incidence of rhinitis allergies. Smoke exposure, owning pets, dust exposure, and a history of atopy are associated with events of rhinitis allergies, p<0.05. Conclusion: Smoke exposure, owning pets, dust exposure, and a history of atopy are risk factors for this incidence of allergic rhinitis in SMA Negeri 1 Padang, Indonesia students.

Abstract

Introduction: Pharyngitis presents with a variety of symptoms, including sudden sore throat, fever, headache, lymphadenitis, and sometimes abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, and/or rash. This study aimed to provide data on the basic characteristics of acute pharyngitis patients at Dr. M. DjamilGeneral Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study was a descriptive observational study. This study uses secondary data obtained from medical record data at the medical records installation of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. A total of 100 research subjects participated in this study, and the research subjects met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this study were patients diagnosed with acute pharyngitis at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia, for the period January – December 2022 and who have complete medical record data. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 25. Results: The majority of research subjects are in the age range of 0-14 years. The majority of research subjects are female. The majority of research subjects had clinical symptoms of sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The symptoms that arise in acute pharyngitis depend on the microorganisms that accompany it. Acute pharyngitis caused by bacteria is characterized by severe headache, fever or chills, malaise, painful swallowing, vomiting, and possibly coughing but rarely. Conclusion: The characteristics of pharyngitis patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia, are aged 0-14 years with prominent clinical symptoms of sore throat and difficulty swallowing.

Abstract

This literature review aimed to describe the anatomical and histological aspects of the trachea, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus. The trachea is a tube-shaped respiratory tract consisting of cartilage and muscle and lined by a pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium. The pharynx is a funnel-shaped fibromuscular pouch that is large at the top and narrow at the bottom. This pouch starts at the base of the skull and continues through the esophagus to the level of the sixth cervical vertebra. The laryngopharynx is bordered superiorly by the upper edge of the epiglottis, anteriorly by the larynx, inferiorly by the esophagus, and posteriorly by the cervical vertebrae. The esophagus is a hollow cylindrical organ about 25 cm long and 2 cm in diameter, which extends from the hypopharynx to the cardia of the stomach. The esophagus lies posterior to the heart and trachea, anterior to the vertebrae, and pierces the diaphragmatic hiatus just anterior to the aorta. In conclusion, a thorough understanding of neck anatomy helps establish the diagnosis and management of patients in clinical situations.

Abstract

Introduction: Surgical interventions during pregnancy present a complex clinical dichotomy requiring the balance of maternal physiological stability with fetal safety. Trauma necessitating ear reconstruction typically requires general anesthesia, which carries elevated risks of difficult airway management, aspiration, and potential neurotoxicity in the developing fetus. The "Ring Block" technique offers a regional alternative, yet evidence regarding its safety profile specifically in second-trimester trauma remains limited. Case presentation: We present the case of a 41-year-old multigravida at 14 weeks of gestation (ASA II) presenting with a complex traumatic laceration of the right auricle following a motor vehicle accident. Given the patient’s advanced maternal age and the risks associated with general anesthesia, including hemodynamic fluctuation and teratogenicity concerns, an awake ear reconstruction was planned. We utilized a landmark-based Ear Ring Block using 12 mL of 2% Lidocaine. The procedure achieved complete surgical anesthesia with a V-pattern and inverted V-pattern injection trajectory. Intraoperative monitoring revealed hemodynamic stability with no fluctuations in mean arterial pressure or fetal heart rate abnormalities. The patient reported a visual analog scale score of zero intraoperatively and was discharged 12 hours after surgery without complications. Conclusion: The Ear Ring Block represents a superior anesthetic modality for auricular trauma in pregnant patients. It effectively mitigates the physiological risks of general anesthesia while providing profound analgesia and hemodynamic stability. This technique should be considered a primary anesthetic strategy for auricular reconstruction in the obstetric population.
