Abstract

Uncorrected refractive error is one of the leading causes of visual impairment among school-aged children and may affect the learning process. Visual disturbances may lead to difficulties in reading classroom materials, reduced concentration, and impaired academic performance. This study aimed to determine the relationship between uncorrected refractive errors and academic achievement among students at SMPN 89 Jakarta in 2025. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted among 510 eighth and ninth grade students selected using purposive sampling. Visual acuity examination was performed using a Snellen Chart at a distance of 6 meters, while academic achievement data were obtained from the students’ latest semester grade averages. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that 215 students (42.16%) had uncorrected refractive errors, predominantly compound myopic astigmatism and simple myopia. All respondents demonstrated very good academic achievement (80–100). No statistically significant relationship was found between uncorrected refractive errors and academic achievement in the right eye (ρ=-0.083; p=0.380) or left eye (ρ=-0.007;p=0.944). In conclusion, there was no statistically significant relationship between uncorrected refractive errors and academic achievement among students at SMPN 89 Jakarta. However, early detection and refractive correction remain important to support visual comfort and long-term ocular health

Abstract

Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) and can cause a variety of potentially sight-threatening ocular manifestations. This literature review aims to summarize the current scientific evidence regarding the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of ocular complications in Mpox. The study was conducted using a narrative literature review method, reviewing various relevant scientific publications, including literature reviews, case reports, case series, cohort studies, and experimental studies. The review results indicate that ocular involvement in Mpox has a broad spectrum, ranging from blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and keratitis to severe complications such as uveitis, sclerokeratouveitis, symblepharon, and corneal damage that can lead to permanent visual impairment. Keratitis is the complication that poses the greatest risk to the visual prognosis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis requires high clinical vigilance and can be confirmed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of skin lesions or ocular samples. Management includes systemic and topical antiviral therapy, such as tecovirimat, trifluridine, and cidofovir, along with supportive therapy as needed. Early detection and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications and preserve the patient's vision

Abstract

PTLD causes persistent structural lung damage and reduced respiratory reserve, increasing the risk of acute respiratory failure during pulmonary infection. No specific protocol exists for escalation of respiratory support or ventilator weaning in PTLD. A 27-year-old woman with previously treated pulmonary TB presented with progressive dyspnea, increasing WOB, and hypoxemia. Chest imaging showed fibrosis, consolidation, atelectasis, and right lung volume loss, while microbiological testing for TB was negative. HFNC increased oxygen saturation to 100%, but respiratory distress persisted and consciousness deteriorated, prompting intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. The patient received ventilator support, empiric antibiotics, progressive nutritional and early mobilization support, and weaning using an extensive SBT strategy as tolerated. She was successfully extubated on day four and discharged after 13 days without supplemental oxygen, independent in daily activities, and gaining weight. Normal oxygen saturation during oxygen therapy does not necessarily indicate adequate ventilation/reduced respiratory load and may conceal a risk of P-SILI. Timely intubation, tolerance-based weaning, and early integration of nutritional and mobilization supported respiratory recovery and successful extubation. Therefore, management of acute respiratory failure in PTLD should rely on comprehensive assessment beyond oxygen saturation and an individualized multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract

Escherichia coli bacteria is one of the bacteria that can cause health problems for humans, including in Indonesia. This encourages the need for ways to deal with health problems. Indonesian people have been familiar with the tradition of medicine using plants around the community such as green betel leaves (Piper betle (L)). Betel leaves contain many compounds that can work as antibacterials, so they can be used to overcome problems caused by Escherichia coli bacteria. The purpose of this study was to extract green betel leaves (Piper betle (L)), the compound content in the extract was used to determine the antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli bacteria. The method in this study was to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) by tube dilution. The results of the study The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) produced at a percentage of 2%. The study concluded that green betel leaf extract (Piper betle (L)) has the ability as an antibacterial against Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract

Adolescents are an age group which they are vulnerable to mental health issues, one of them is depression. One of the factor believed to be associated with depression is sleep quality. In addition, gadget usage is often linked to sleep disturbances and the psychological well-being of adolescents. Objectives : This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep quality and depression levels among adolescents aged 15-18 years old. This study uses quantitative design with a cross sectional approach. This study involves 190 participant through total sampling whom all et the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study uses Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index as the measurement tools. Results : The results of the research showed there was a significant, weak positive correlation between sleep quality and depression levels using Spearman’s correlation test (r= 0,274 p= 0,000), which was also significant using the Chi-Square test (c2= 10,128 p= 0,038) and which was also significant using linear regression test (b= 0,657 p= 0,000). Regression test that the data are taken simultaneously with other variables, such as gadget usage, was showing significant result (b= 0,545 p= 0,000). That can conclude that sleep quality and device usage patterns, especially before bedtime, play a role in the risk of depression among adolescents. Therefore, it is important for adolescents to maintain a good sleep quality to support their mental health.

Abstract

Electronic cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices that heat a liquid (e-liquid) to produce an aerosol inhaled by the user. Salivary volume, pH, and histology are important parameters reflecting salivary gland physiology and overall oral health. This review aimed to examine the effect of e-cigarette use on these three parameters. Articles were searched through the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, and ten articles meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed and synthesized narratively. Salivary pH was the most frequently examined variable (eight of ten articles), although the direction of change was inconsistent across studies. Salivary volume and flow rate were explicitly examined in only one study and showed no significant difference between conventional cigarette and vape users. Histopathological findings, reported through case reports and a scoping review, included mucosal hyperparakeratosis without dysplasia, periodontal tissue damage from plaque and tar accumulation, and, based on animal data, ductal dilation, connective tissue thickening, and epithelial degeneration with cytoplasmic vacuolization in the submandibular gland. In conclusion, e-cigarettes have the potential to affect oral physiological balance, particularly salivary pH and the integrity of periodontal and mucosal tissue.

Abstract

Postpartum depression is a common psychological disorder in mothers after childbirth and can negatively impact the mother-child relationship and infant development. Unfortunately, early detection in primary health care facilities is still rare. This study aims to screen for postpartum depression and analyze the characteristics of mothers in the Makasar District Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area, East Jakarta, in 2025. The study used a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design and involved 96 respondents selected using consecutive sampling techniques. The instrument used was the Indonesian version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using frequency and chi-square tests (p<0.05). The results showed that 37 mothers (38.5%) experienced postpartum depression. There was no significant association between depression and age (p=0.151), education (p=0.072), type of delivery (p=0.708), number of children (p=0.158), occupation (p=0.527), and income (p=0.756). This study emphasizes the need for routine check-ups in primary care.

Abstract

Gallstones form from deposits of bile within the gallbladder. Gallstones can be detected via ultrasound examination to assess Murphy’s sign. Data on the incidence of gallstones in Indonesia itself is currently insufficient. This study aims to determine the profile of gallstone patients and their characteristics through  ultrasound examinations as well as their management at Tarakan Regional General Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional study design using total sampling was applied to medical records from 2023. A sample of 97 individuals meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria was obtained. The results are presented in tables and diagrams. A total of 64 patients (66.0%) were female, and 64 patients (66.1%) were aged 40 years or older. The group with a single stone was found in 78 patients (80.8%), whilst the highest frequency was observed in patients with medium-sized stones (5–10 mm), comprising 61 patients (62.89%). It can be concluded that patients with cholelithiasis at Tarakan General Hospital are more commonly found among women aged 40 years or older with medium-sized stones. The effectiveness of ursodeoxycholic acid in 12 patients could not be evaluated due to incomplete data. Meanwhile, surgical intervention for gallstone patients is based more on the onset of complaints or clinical symptoms, rather than on the size and number of gallstones.
