Abstract

One of the sexually transmitted infections is syphilis which is caused by the bacterium Treponema palidum which can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and direct contact with the patient's body fluids. Homosexuality is sexual attraction in the form of disorientation of a sexual partner, namely a person's tendency to engage in sexual behavior with the same sex. Sexual intercourse carried out by homosexuals can be at risk of sexually transmitted diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the transmission of syphilis to homosexuals. The method of this research is observation with the accidental sampling technique of 50 samples using the immunochromatographic examination method. The results of the study showed that out of 50 samples, 14 samples were positively infected with syphilis. So it can be concluded that homosexuals are at high risk of contracting the sexually transmitted disease syphilis

Abstract

Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection affecting the terminal bronchioles and alveoli, commonly caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in extreme age groups. This study aims to describe the clinical presentation, risk factors, and evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in a patient with community-acquired pneumonia at Toto Kabila General Hospital. A case study was conducted on a 77-year-old male patient presenting with a three-day fever, two-month chronic cough, and epigastric pain. Diagnosis was established through history taking, physical examination, chest X-ray showing bilateral patchy opacities and aortic dilatation, and laboratory tests including hematology, clinical chemistry, and Widal serological test. Treatment included intravenous followed by oral levofloxacin, fluid infusion, antipyretics, N-acetylcysteine and ambroxol, vitamins, and albumin to correct hypoalbuminemia. Data were analyzed descriptively to assess the consistency between clinical findings, diagnosis, and therapeutic response. Laboratory results revealed leukocytosis (12.38×10³/µL), mild hypoalbuminemia (2.4 g/dL), and a positive Widal titer of 1/320, supporting a diagnosis of bilateral pneumonia with secondary typhoid fever. After seven days of treatment, the patient showed improvements in body temperature, respiratory function, and sputum clearance, along with better hemodynamic stability. A multimodal pharmacological and non-pharmacological approach was effective in improving the clinical condition of an elderly pneumonia patient.

Abstract

The quality of radiographic images is highly dependent on exposure factors including tube voltage (kV), tube current and exposure time (mAs). The Contrast to Noise Ratio value can transmit image quality, a higher CNR indicates a good image with less interference (noise). The study aims to determine the effect of exposure factor variations on the CNR value and which exposure factors that produce optimal CNR in AP cranium projections. This study uses a quantitative method, an experimental study at the Radiology Installation of the Siti Rahmah Padang Islamic Hospital in September 2024. Data were obtained from cranium phantom images with variations in tube voltage (kV) 68, 74, and 78, and current and exposure time (mAs) 10, 12, and 14. The images were analyzed using the Radiant DICOM Viewer application with the ROI technique to calculate the CNR value in the anatomical area, namely the frontal, crista gali, mandible, both orbits and the background. The ROI results were analyzed using multiple linear regression tests. The results showed that the variation of exposure factors had a significant effect on the CNR value of 94.7%. The optimal exposure factor, at 68 kV and 14 mAs, with the highest CNR of 44.598. The lowest CNR value at an exposure factor of 78 kV and 10 mAs was 22.063. These results can be used as a reference in determining the optimal exposure factor in AP cranium examination

Abstract

School children's snacks (PJAS) refer to foods and beverages consumed by children during school hours and may be influenced by social factors around them. Peer groups and social media are two factors that can shape children's healthy snacking behavior. This study aims to determine the relationship between peer influence and social media exposure with healthy snacking behavior among elementary school students. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 43 sixth-grade students at SDN Palumbonsari II, Karawang, were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had good peer relationships (74.4%) and were exposed to social media (81.4%). However, the chi-square test results showed no significant relationship between peer influence and healthy snacking behavior (p = 0.434), nor between social media exposure and healthy snacking behavior (p = 0.826). The conclusion of this study is that there is no significant relationship between peer influence and social media exposure with healthy snacking behavior among students at SDN Palumbonsari II.

Abstract

Childbirth is a process involving hormonal changes, emotional stress, and significant physical challenges. One notable factor is the emotional stress that can induce anxiety and depression, particularly in primigravid mothers. Some efforts are needed to address this problem, one them is the use of the Lamaze breathing technique. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Lamaze breathing technique in reducing labor pain, thereby impacting maternal anxiety and depression. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach. The study sample consisted of 40 primigravid mothers, randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=20), which received Lamaze breathing technique training, or the control group (n=20), which received standard midwifery care. The results of the study demonstrated a significant decrease in anxiety and depression scores in the intervention group following the Lamaze breathing technique training (p<0.001), and no significant changes in anxiety scores (p = 0.672) and depression scores (p = 0.785) in the control group. It can be concluded that the Lamaze breathing technique is effective in reducing anxiety and depression levels in primiparous mothers.

Abstract

Silver humansrefer to individuals who cover nearly their entire bodies with silver-colored paint, which often contains toxic compounds, including lead (Pb). The accumulation of lead in the body can disrupt inflammatory responses. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between blood lead concentration and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels in the serum of silver humans. This research employed an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study variables included blood lead concentration as the independent variable and serum CRP levels as the dependent variable. The study population consisted of silver humans from the Purwokerto and Purbalingga regions. A total of 11 participants were selected using an accidental sampling technique. Blood lead levels were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), while CRP levels were assessed qualitatively using the latex agglutination method. The results indicated no significant correlation between blood lead concentration and serum CRP levels in silver humans, as determined by the Fisher’s Exact Test (P-value = 0.491, P 0.05)
