Abstract

Background: In 2021, the International Diabetes Federation stated that there were around 536.6 million people suffering from DM worldwide, 90.2 million of whom were in Southeast Asia. Indonesia ranks 5th in terms of population with the highest DM in the world. The number of people with DM in Indonesia is around 19.5 million and is projected to increase to 28.6 million in 2045. The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Yogyakarta is 2.4%. Diabetes Mellitus and TB are included in the top 10 diseases in Yogyakarta in 2023. Sleman is the second largest district after Bantul for the number of DM sufferers. Tuberculosis is a public health problem that is a global challenge and is the third highest cause of death in Indonesia and the first leading cause of death due to infectious diseases. TB management in Yogyakarta is not optimal when seen from Treatment Coverage and Treatment Success Rate data. Diabetes Mellitus is an important risk factor for the development of Active TB. TB screening in DM patients is necessary to prevent the development of active TB. This study aims to determine the percentage of TB patients from all DM patients treated at UGM Academic Hospital.Materials and methods: This research is descriptive quantitative research using primary and secondary data. Data analysis uses univariate analysis. The sample in this study was taken using a simple random sampling technique. There were 109 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: The results of the study showed that there was 1 (0.92%) DM patient who was positive for TB, 22 (20.18%) DM patients who were suspected of TB through the Perjaka 2M screening and 3 (2.75%) DM patients who were suspected of TB from thorax x-ray results.Conclusion: Screening is one of the efforts in finding TB cases that can be done actively or passively.

Abstract

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a global problem that has an impact on health and quality of life (QOL). There are a lot of risk factors for OSA, i.e. anatomical abnormality and comorbidity. A multidisciplinary approach can improve the symptoms and the impact of OSA and QOL too.Materials and methods: This case report is structured according to The CARE (Case Report) guideline.Case: A male, 37 years old, came with the chief complaint of snoring for 6 years. The patient felt unfit and dissatisfied with his sleep (Sleep Condition Indicator: 2.5). This impacted the daily activities and caused excessive daytime sleepiness. He could fall asleep while doing activities (Epsworth Sleepiness Scale: 24). The condition was worsening and he was often found apnea during sleep. The patient’s body mass index was 38.3kg/m2 (type I obesity) and the neck diameter was 43 cm. The polysomnography showed sleep architectural abnormality and the patients suffered from moderate OSA (Apnea-Hipopnea Index: 23.7). The patient was hospitalized for 7 days and got a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device (CPAP). Anatomical abnormality was investigated but none needed surgical intervention. Metabolic syndrome intervention includes therapy for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Collaboration with a clinical nutritionist for nutritional intervention. After 7 days, the sleep quality, the symptoms, and the SCI score were improved (7.1). Conclusion: OSA risk factors are varied and needed to be identified. In addition to definitive therapy, management of comorbidities, such as metabolic syndrome, should be addressed. A multidisciplinary approach can thereby improve OSA, patient’s health, and QOL.

Abstract

Background: The quality of Breaking Bad News (BBN) communication has a significant impact on patient treatment adherence, emotional condition, understanding, and satisfaction with medical care. Effective communication skills and appropriate communication techniques are essential for providing optimal care. The SPIKES protocol is a communication protocol used as a standard and strategy for delivering difficult patient communication, comprising several stages: setting up, perception, invitation, knowledge, emotions, strategy, and summary.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of using the BBN flip chart calendar as educational media, combined with the SPIKES method, at Universitas Gadjah Mada Academic Hospital (UGM Academic Hospital). The specific research objectives were: (a) to understand the perceptions and expectations of doctors and nurses when providing education related to BBN, and (b) to determine the effect of using the BBN flip chart calendar educational media on patients.Method: This study was an experimental investigation to assess the effectiveness of using the BBN flip chart calendar as educational media in conjunction with the SPIKES protocol. The type of research was a quantitative study to understand the implementation of the BBN flip chart educational media at UGM Academic Hospital.Result:  The intervention group and the control group do not show statistically significant differences. The primary reason for these outcomes could be that behavioral changes are difficult to modify with a single communication practice. Continuous evaluation and feedback are needed on the effectiveness of BBN to improve the quality of health workers.

Abstract

Background: Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a common condition in critically ill patients, particularly in intensive care units, characterized by enhanced renal elimination. The accelerated elimination of drugs can significantly impact therapeutic efficacy, potentially resulting in suboptimal treatment outcomes. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of drugs impacted by ARC, offering a better understanding of the impact of ARC on drug therapy.Method: A narrative review was conducted to explore previous studies from Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. PRISMA flow chart was used to guide the article selection process.Result:  A total of 14 articles were comprehensively reviewed and discussed regarding drugs affected by ARC, the impact of ARC on the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of drugs, and their clinical outcomes. Classes of drugs affected by ARC include beta-lactam antibiotics, glycopeptide antibiotics, anticoagulants, and anticonvulsants.Conclusion: Antibiotics are the most frequently reported drugs to be impacted by ARC, followed by anticoagulants and anticonvulsants. The impact of ARC on anticoagulants is inconsistent. ARC reduces free drug concentration, requires a higher dose to achieve the therapeutic target, and is associated with a higher risk of treatment failure. However, no significant differences were found in clinical response and mortality compared to non-ARC.

Abstract

Background: Based on data from the Banyumas Regency PMI for August 2023, it is stated that there are 182 requests for blood products every day, but can only fulfil the demand for blood products at 152 blood bags/day, which means that in one day, the Banyumas Regency PMI still lacks 30 blood bags of blood. Everyday. Therefore, this is the background for UDD PMI Kab. Banyumas to provide additional blood supplements of Fe 60 mg and Folic Acid 0.4 mg to donors who failed due to low haemoglobin levels, namely < 12.5 gr/dL. Giving blood supplement tablets is considered to be able to increase haemoglobin levels more quickly than other vitamin supplements because they contain Fe or iron. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in haemoglobin levels before and after giving blood supplements to blood donors in UDD PMI Banyumas.Method: This quantitative research uses an analytical observational method (Cross-Sectional Study), with a Purposive sampling technique using the Slovin Formula, resulting in 24 samples. Of the 24 prospective blood donors who failed the HB screening selection, they were given treatment with blood supplements of 5 tablets, which were consumed once a day.Result:  The average result of checking the haemoglobin level before administering the blood supplement was 11.48 gr/dL. After taking the blood supplement, the donor checked the haemoglobin level again, and the average haemoglobin level was 12.57 gr/dL. Based on the results of pre- and post-blood supplement examinations, the results showed an average increase in haemoglobin levels of 1.09 gr/dL.Conclusion: Prospective blood donors who consumed blood supplement tablets, namely Fe 12.45 mg and Folic Acid 0.5 mg, 1 tablet per day for 5 days, experienced an average increase in haemoglobin levels of 1.09 gr/dL.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a primary global health concern, with Indonesia accounting for approximately 10% of international cases. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays a crucial role in the immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).Method: This article is a narrative literature review that examines the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in pulmonary tuberculosis.Result:  This pro-inflammatory cytokine is essential for activating macrophages, promoting phagolysosome fusion, and supporting the formation and maintenance of granulomas—immune structures critical for containing infection. However, dysregulated TNF-α expression can be detrimental: excessive levels contribute to inflammation and lung tissue damage, while insufficient production—such as that induced by TNF-α inhibitor therapy—can lead to reactivation of latent TB. This narrative review examines the biosynthesis, immunological functions, and regulatory mechanisms of TNF-α in the context of pulmonary tuberculosis, highlighting its dual role in protective immunity and immunopathology.Conclusion: A deeper understanding of TNF-α modulation may inform the development of targeted, host-directed therapies that improve treatment outcomes while minimizing tissue damage.

Abstract

Background: PRC is a component found in living creatures, which plays an important role in transporting oxygen and metabolic products to body tissues. PRC transfusion is indicated at Hb levels < 7.0 g/dl, especially in patients with acute anemia. In the transfusion process, before there is a request for blood to be transfused, the blood will be stored in a blood bank. A good blood storage process is needed to maintain the quality of blood products so that they are safe for transfusion. During the storage process, hemoglobin levels in the blood can change. The longer blood is stored, the more red blood cells become fragile and lyse, thereby increasing the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood. This study aims to determine and describe the description of hemoglobin levels in pre- and post-PRC blood products during the shelf life at UDD PMI Rembang Regency.Method: This type of research uses analytical descriptive research and a research design with purposive sampling techniques. The samples used in this study were 30 bags of PRC blood, which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Result:  The results of this study showed an increase in hemoglobin levels, with the average pre-storage hemoglobin level being 14.99 g/dl, while the average post-storage hemoglobin level was 17.5 g/dl.Conclusion: In this study, there was an average increase in hemoglobin levels of 2.51 g/dl or 16.74%. This could be caused by temperature, storage time, and anticoagulants.
