Abstract

Radiology examinations play a vital role in healthcare worldwide, but patient safety, particularly radiation protection, remains a key concern for all stakeholders. Despite this, some patients and their families still express concerns about the impact of radiation from radiology exams. Healthcare workers, including radiographers, radiologists, interventional surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and others, often find themselves explaining these concerns repeatedly before procedures. Misconceptions about the effects of radiation from medical examinations may stem from misinformation encountered by patients in the past. In reality, people are exposed to various environmental radiation sources daily, often without being aware of it, although the doses are typically low. The goal of this study was to explore the radiation sources that individuals are potentially exposed to on a daily basis. By integrating the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle into radiological practice, the public should feel more reassured and less anxious about the risks. Thus, it is important for people to understand the sources of radiation in their everyday environment.

Abstract

Microorganisms have long been used to produce primary and secondary metabolites essential for human health and environmental sustainability. Due to their rapid growth and reproduction rates, as well as their ability to undergo genetic modifications, microorganisms play a critical role in the manufacturing industry. Probiotics, which are non-pathogenic microorganisms, have gained significant interest due to their various health benefits, including treating vitamin deficiencies, alleviating digestive disorders, enhancing immunity, and detoxifying harmful substances. Probiotics are commonly used to address gastrointestinal issues such as inflammatory bowel disease, as well as conditions like obesity, diabetes, constipation, and colon cancer. Despite these applications, recent advancements in understanding the role of probiotics in managing these diseases have been limited. This review presents the latest insights into probiotics' role in health management. With the growing global population, researchers are focusing on strategies to meet the increasing demand for probiotics. Using advanced techniques, scientists are exploring probiotic strains that can be produced industrially and utilized to treat various medical conditions. This review compiles essential information for probiotic researchers, covering strain selection, production, and applications.

Abstract

Adolescent risk behavior is a public health problem that occurs globally. The presence of the digital era is characterized by increased access to online content and contributes to the rise of risk behavior among teenagers. The Center for Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV) at the University of Colorado, United States has developed the concept of Safe Communities Safe Schools (SCSS) as a model for preventing adolescent risk behavior in Colorado. The development of the current situation in Indonesia, especially in Banda Aceh, has given rise to the need for an equivalent concept in Banda Aceh. Adaptation and implementation of the SCSS concept from Colorado to Banda Aceh require adjustments that accommodate cultural components, including local wisdom. The aim of this study was to examine the role of local wisdom in supporting the implementation of SCSS as prevention of risk behavior among adolescents in Banda Aceh. This research uses a qualitative design with a grounded theory approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with key informants, namely Acehnese special institutions which officially represent expertise in local wisdom in the City of Banda Aceh. These institutions are: the Regional Education Council (MPD), Aceh Tradition Council (MAA), and Banda Aceh City Ulama Council (MPU). Data analysis was carried out using applied thematic analysis. This research identifies local wisdom sourced from Islamic law, which is a cultural characteristic of the Acehnese people and has the potential to play a role in supporting the implementation of SCSS. The local wisdoms are: education in Islamic values, akhlakul karimah, special relationships between teachers and parents of students (takzim keu guree), and traditional gampong governance. The Banda Aceh City Government has implemented local wisdom education on Islamic values, including akhlakul karimah through the diniyah program in schools. Traditional gampong governance can play its role through two mechanisms: revitalizing the local wisdom of takzim keu guree through community development targeting students' parents and reviving the local wisdom of akhlakul karimah in the community targeting students and families. Local wisdom implemented through the diniyah program is in line with the implementation of SCSS in schools, and local wisdom of traditional gampong governance and takzim keu guree can be a form of support for SCSS from the community. This support can be realized considering that Sharia law and traditional gampong governance have received legal regulation for their implementation in the City of Banda Aceh. Banda Aceh's local wisdom originating from Islamic law can play a role in supporting the implementation of SCSS as a prevention of risk behavior among teenagers in Banda Aceh. This research recommends utilizing local wisdom of Sharia law and gampong governance through regulatory mechanisms and cross-sectoral cooperation.

Abstract

Paediatric nephrotic syndrome is the most common kidney disease in children, with corticosteroids as the primary treatment. While effective, corticosteroid therapy may decrease bone mineral density. Concurrent vitamin D and calcium supplementation can mitigate bone loss but does not entirely prevent it and may introduce side effects. This study assessed growth delay based on bone age in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome receiving long-term steroid therapy at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This observational analytic study used a retrospective cohort design, with data collected from the hospitals Paediatric Polyclinic over one month. Paediatric patients diagnosed with INS who met inclusion criteria were included, and data were extracted from electronic medical records. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney test. Among the 50 children included, 32 (64%) were male and 18 (36%) were female. The median corticosteroid therapy duration was 24 months (range: 284 months). No significant association was found between corticosteroid therapy duration and growth delay, as measured by BA (p=0.363). INS was more common in boys, particularly in the six to 10-year age group. Most participants had normal nutritional status and stature, with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome being the most prevalent type. The findings suggest no relationship between corticosteroid therapy duration and growth delay based on bone age, providing reassurance about the treatments impact on growth outcomes.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and tuberculosis (TB) infections are common causes of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. First-line anti-TB medications are known to cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI). This study aimed to investigate whether HBV and TB co-infection increase susceptibility to liver failure and poor outcomes during anti-TB treatment in HIV-positive patients. HBV infection was detected using the ELISA method, while TB infection was confirmed through Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium culture. The severity and incidence of liver failure and mortality were compared, and risk factors influencing clinical outcomes were identified. Patients were categorized as new TB cases, relapse TB cases, or defaulters. Among the total cases, 64.5% were classified as new, 18% as relapse, and 17.5% as defaulters TB cases. The prevalence of HBV infection among new, relapse, and defaulter cases was 11.5%, 4.8%, and 1.6%, respectively. In terms of TB classification, the prevalence of HBV infection among patients with pulmonary TB and extrapulmonary TB was 10.6% and 7.1%, respectively, with no cases recorded in the defaulter category. The prevalence of triple infection (HIV-TB-HBV) was found to be 13.3% in new TB cases and 3.3% in relapse TB cases. Patients undergoing anti-TB therapy with chronic HBV co-infection were more susceptible to liver failure and had poorer treatment outcomes. Regular monitoring of liver function is essential, and anti-HBV therapy should be considered for patients with high viral loads before initiating anti-TB treatment.
