Abstract

Background: The ubiquitous reliance on visual display units (VDUs) across industrial administrative sectors has escalated work-related musculoskeletal disorders, positioning static postural strain as a paramount occupational health concern. However, how acute daily exposure interacts with cumulative long-term organizational tenure to drive neck pain prevalence among corporate administrative personnel remains insufficiently characterized within current epidemiological literature. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the empirical relationship between daily working duration, length of service, and the prevalence of neck pain complaints among computer-using administrative employees at PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales. Methods: Employing an analytical quantitative cross-sectional design, this study investigated 115 administrative workers at PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales in Jakarta. Data were gathered using a modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) paired with standardized occupational metrics, and subsequently evaluated through univariate distributions and bivariate Chi-Square analysis () to compute Odds Ratios (OR) and confidence parameters. Findings: The overall prevalence of reported neck pain complaints reached 43.48% (). Bivariate analysis revealed that a daily working duration exceeding 4 hours displayed no statistically significant association with neck pain (; OR = 1.1). Conversely, a length of service exceeding 5 years demonstrated a statistically significant correlation (), elevating the risk of neck pain by a factor of 2.1 compared to personnel with  5 years of tenure. Significance: These findings establish that occupational neck pain in corporate VDU environments is primarily driven by cumulative, multi-year mechanical strain rather than isolated daily working hours. Practically, these results advocate for a paradigm shift in occupational health policy from passive daily hour caps toward proactive ergonomic surveillance, mandatory micro-break schedules, and targeted physical rehabilitation programs for long-tenured personnel.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health challenge, where rapid diagnosis is vital to interrupt transmission. Although chest radiography and Molecular Rapid Tests (TCM) serve as primary diagnostic pillars, the empirical correlation between specific radiological lesion patterns and molecular confirmation in regional hospital settings remains insufficiently characterized. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between chest radiography lesion characteristics and Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) results among newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Ciawi Regional General Hospital (RSUD Ciawi), Bogor Regency, in 2024. Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving  newly diagnosed pulmonary TB patients recruited via consecutive sampling. Radiographic manifestations (infiltrates, cavitations, pleural effusions, fibrosis, consolidation, and calcifications) and GeneXpert MTB/RIF outcomes were extracted from medical records. Bivariate associations were evaluated using the Chi-Square test ( ) at a significance threshold of . Findings: Among  participants, male patients ( , ) and individuals aged  years ( , ) constituted the majority. Overall TCM positivity was  ( ). A statistically significant association was established between radiological lesion characteristics and TCM results ( ). Cavitary lesions yielded the highest TCM positivity rate ( , ), followed by pleural effusions ( , ). Conversely, infiltrative lesions were predominantly TCM-negative ( , ). Significance: Cavitary destruction strongly correlates with positive molecular detection, whereas infiltrative presentations carry a high risk of diagnostic discordance (TCM negativity). These findings highlight the necessity of integrated diagnostic algorithms to prevent underdiagnosis in radiologically suspicious, paucibacillary cases.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual health reflects overall physiological well-being, yet academic stress significantly disrupts hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis functioning among medical trainees. Despite extensive literature on medical student burnout, a critical empirical gap remains regarding how cohort-wise stress variations map onto specific menstrual parameters within Southeast Asian Islamic university settings. Objective: This study evaluated the relationship between self-reported stress levels and menstrual cycle characteristics—including regularity, duration, and dysmenorrhea severity—among 133 female preclinical medical students (Classes of 2021–2024) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. Hamka. Methods: Utilizing a quantitative, analytical cross-sectional design with stratified random sampling, primary data were gathered mid-semester using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ), and FIGO-aligned tracking tools. Hypotheses were evaluated using Chi-Square ( ) tests of independence and multivariate ordinal logistic regression adjusting for age and Body Mass Index. Findings: Overall, 33% ( ) of participants exhibited irregular menstrual cycles, and 16% ( ) reported severe to very severe stress. Chi-Square analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between elevated stress severity and menstrual irregularity ( ). Menstrual irregularity increased progressively from 26% in moderate stress to 63% in severe stress and 67% in very severe stress cases. Significance: These empirical findings substantiate neuroendocrine models of stress-induced reproductive suppression. Practically, they highlight the necessity for university health services to implement targeted mental health counseling, institutional stress-management programs, and routine menstrual health screening for female medical undergraduates.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) presents a complex global disease burden influenced by genetic predisposition and environmental triggers, yet localized epidemiological profiling in rapidly industrializing suburban centers remains sparse. Identifying familial atopic patterns in secondary healthcare settings is critical to bridging the diagnostic gap between advanced genomic models and practical bedside triage. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of familial atopic history, biological sex, and age profiles among patients diagnosed with AD at RSU Fikri Medika Kosambi General Hospital, Karawang, from December 2024 to April 2025. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative design was employed. Secondary clinical data were extracted from 57 medical records at the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic using consecutive sampling based on explicit eligibility criteria. Variables including age, sex, and first-degree familial atopy were evaluated using univariate statistical analysis in SPSS Version 28.0. Findings: A positive family history of atopy was identified in 71.9% (n=41) of cases. Biological sex distribution was virtually balanced, with females accounting for 50.9% (n=29) and males 49.1% (n=28). Early pediatric age brackets predominated the cohort, with infants (12.3%, n=7) and toddlers (26.3%, n=15) cumulatively comprising 38.6% (n=22) of presentations, followed by adults at 29.9% (n=17). Significance: Familial genetic heritability serves as a primary diagnostic indicator in suburban industrial clinical cohorts. Routine screening for family history provides an efficient, low-cost surrogate diagnostic tool for secondary hospitals, guiding early pediatric barrier repair interventions and public health strategies in environmentally exposed populations.

Abstract

Background: Exogenous steroid administration through hormonal contraceptives is widely utilized globally, yet localized epidemiological evidence regarding its impact on breast tumor incidence remains limited within Indonesian municipal referral centers. Objective: This study evaluated the relationship between hormonal contraceptive use and the incidence of breast tumors among female patients treated at Tangerang City Regional General Hospital (RSUD) from 2020 to 2024. Methods: A retrospective hospital-based case-control study was conducted with 113 age-matched female respondents (<50 years: 90.3%). The cohort comprised 54 histopathologically confirmed breast tumor cases (32 benign, 22 malignant) and 59 non-tumor controls. Data extracted from medical records were analyzed using Chi-Square tests and Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI).   Findings: Overall contraceptive users demonstrated significantly higher odds of developing breast tumors compared to non-users ("OR"=2.370, p=0.025). Specifically, hormonal contraceptive users faced an 8.31-fold increased risk compared to non-hormonal users ("OR"=8.313, p<0.001), whereas non-hormonal methods showed no significant association ("OR"=0.749, p=0.573). Contraceptive modality did not significantly alter tumor histopathology (benign vs. malignant, p=0.709). Significance: These empirical findings provide valuable institutional data to bridge local research gaps, underscoring the necessity of integrating routine clinical breast examinations into family planning services and guiding high-risk patients toward non-hormonal contraceptive options.
