Abstract

Background: The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) involves oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant defense systems. Objective: Hence, we aimed to assess Nitric Oxide (NO), Peroxiredoxin, and Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) levels in newly diagnosed patients with T2DM. Method: In this case-control study, we included 63 patients as cases (newly diagnosed T2DM patients) and 63 as controls (healthy individuals). Detailed clinic-demographic data were recorded for all participants. Furthermore, fasting and post-prandial plasma glucose, HbA1c, NO, FRAP and peroxiredoxin were calculated. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the findings between the two groups. Results: The preponderance of cases and controls were aged between 61 and 65. Male patients were the majority in both groups. The majority of reported cases involved alcohol consumption (p=0.0314*). The study revealed significant differences in kidney function, lipid profile, fasting and postprandial plasma glucose, and Hba1c levels between cases and controls (p<0.05). NO and FRAP levels in the case group were significantly lower (p<0.0001*), while peroxiredoxin levels were significantly higher (p<0.0001*). Conclusion: T2DM is associated with increased oxidative stress, indicated by elevated levels of Peroxiredoxin and decreased levels of FRAP and NO. These alterations in antioxidant defence mechanisms may serve as early indicators for the development of T2DM complications.

Abstract

Background: Perineal wounds can cause pain, inflammation, and mechanical trauma and even affect daily mobility. Furthermore, over a long period, prolonged pain can also cause women to become irritable, tired, and even depressed. Midwives are responsible for providing episiotomy pain management services and offering evidence-based good practices for such problems or complaints. Objective: This evidence-based case review aims to determine the results of alternative treatments in relieving and healing perineal wound pain, both spontaneous tears during childbirth and suture wounds. Method: This review is based on a good practice stage report carried out by a group of midwife professional program students who handled midwifery care in the Fatimah Azzahra postpartum ward, Islamic Hospitals, Banjarmasin, in June 2023 with cases including spontaneous lacerations, episiotomies, and second-degree suturing. Then, three articles were assessed and analyzed to provide comparison and evidence relevant to our case report.  Criteria indicators use the PICO format. Findings: The problem was seen in episiotomy wound pain, with some differences in intervention, including lavender oil, ice blocks, rosemary cream, and lavender oil vapor. Furthermore, the comparison between the studies was the group of material used, method, and design of interventions. The outcomes were reduced local temperature of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and a lower rate of the wound in the intervention. Conclusion: Complementary therapy of midwifery care in hospitals has been implemented quite well as long as it does not conflict with procedures, raw materials are easy to obtain, and it is also under continuous supervision by other practitioners.

Abstract

Background: WHO's target of reducing stunting below 20% has not been achieved in Indonesia, especially in Banjar Regency, with a prevalence of 33.45%. Lok Buntar village became the locus of stunting, where 38.7% of the 116 children under five were stunted, with several determining factors including age at pregnancy, a woman's height, birth spacing, nutritional status, and anemia. Objective: This study aims to determine the relation between determinants of maternal health during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting in Lok Buntar Village, Banjar Regency. Method: This type of observational analytic research with a retrospective design case-control approach. The total sample of 90 pregnant women, consisting of 45 cases and 45 controls, was taken by random sampling technique. Secondary data collection instruments used were checklists, cohorts of mothers and toddlers, and MCH books. Results: Findings show that the age of women during pregnancy is 84.0% at risk between 20 to 35 years, p-value 0.000. The spacing of births within two years was 70.4%, while the spacing of more than two years was 41.3%, with a p-value of 0.021. Respondents who have a height below 150 cm are 68.6%, with a p-value of 0.009. The nutritional status of pregnant women experiencing caloric energy deficiency is 84.2%, with a p-value of 0.002. Meanwhile, anemia and the risk of stunting were 89.7%, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: The determinants of women's health during pregnancy have significant correlations with the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B in Indonesia is highest endemic, second mostly in the South East Asian Region. Hepatitis is generally rare in pregnant women. However, the most common sign is gestational jaundice, which is the cause of viral hepatitis. A total of 50,744 pregnant women will be positive for hepatitis B in 2022. Of this number, there will be 35,757 babies born to women who are positive for hepatitis B. The magnitude of this problem will certainly have a huge impact on public health problems and productivity. Objective: to know birth outcomes with incidence of hepatitis B in pregnant women. Method: Type of analytical quantitative research, case-control design. The total data sample was 60 pregnant women, including 30 hepatitis B cases and 30 non-hepatitis B controls. Secondary data collection came from birth report. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Based on results, it was shown that highest type of vaginal delivery was [85%], non-hepatitis B group, p-value 0.718. The highest condition of newborn is in normal category [95%], non-hepatitis B group, with a p-value of 0.553. The largest birth weight of babies was in the normal category, non-hepatitis B group [86.7%], p-value 0.129. In terms of indicators of postpartum haemorrhagia complications, the highest results were in the non-postpartum haemorrhagia category [91.6%], hepatitis B group, p-value 0.640. Conclusion: From the four indicators of birth outcomes, it was concluded that not has been significant correlation with the incidence of hepatitis B in pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disorder where there is a process of attenuation and disintegration of joint cartilage accompanied by bone growth and new cartilage in the joints. Patients with osteoarthritis occur at the age of 40-60 years; one of the roles of nurses in improving the quality of life of the elderly is to overcome health problems that commonly occur in the elderly. One of them is joint pain management due to osteoarthritis by using non-pharmacological therapy in the form of elderly exercises. Objective: Identify the influence of elderly gymnastics on changes in osteoarthritis pain in social institutions Tresna Werdha Budi Sejahtera Banjarbaru. Method: This study uses a quantitative method with experimental quasi with the research design used is a pretest-posttest one group design. Initial data collection before and after intervention. Results: Respondents who experienced knee ostearthritis pain before elderly exercise can be seen that most respondents have characteristics of moderate pain. The biggest complaint presentation was experiencing moderate pain, which was 30 people (100%) on the first day. Wilcoxon test results found the quality of knee osteoarthritis pain in the elderly before and after a significant compress. This is based on the p-value of 0.000, which means that there is an influence of elderly gymnastics on the reduction in the quality of knee osteoarthritis pain in the elderly in social care institutions because there is prosperity in Banjarbaru. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the effect of elderly gymnastic therapy to reduce osteoarthritis of knee pain suffered by the elderly.
