Abstract

The use of X-ray Thorax (XCR Thorax) in assisting thoracocentesis procedures has some limitations. XCR Thorax only provides a two-dimensional image, which may limit the accuracy in determining the exact location for the puncture. In addition, XCR Thorax cannot detect septation or loculation which may affect the success of the thoracocentesis procedure. Thoracic ultrasonography offers advantages in detecting pleural effusion compared to conventional radiographic methods, but has not been standardized in national guidelines. This study aims to see the difference in the success rate of thoracocentesis between the use of thoracic ultrasound guidance and thoracic photo guidance in patients with clinical tuberculosis at Respira Lung Hospital Yogyakarta. This cross-sectional study used a static group comparison approach to compare the success rate of thoracocentesis between two groups at Respira Lung Hospital Yogyakarta: 30 patients with Thorax ultrasound and Thorax photo guidance (Group A) and 30 patients only with Thorax photo guidance (Group B). With a purposive sampling method and analysis using the chi-square test, this study aims to analyze differences in the success rate of thoracocentesis in real clinical conditions without intervening in existing procedures in the hospital. Thoracocentesis with thorax photo plus thorax ultrasound guidance showed a success rate of 100% compared to 66.67% in procedures with thorax X-ray alone (p < 0.001). The results showed that the use of thoracic ultrasound as a thoracocentesis guide had a higher success rate compared to the use of thoracic photo guidance.

Abstract

Gum health and caries prevention are important aspects in maintaining overall oral health. Flossing technique or the use of dental floss is known as one of the effective methods for cleaning areas between teeth that are not reached by a toothbrush. This study aims to analyze the effect of flossing technique on gum health and caries prevention. This study used an experimental method involving 100 respondents who were divided into two groups, namely the group that routinely flossed and the control group that only relied on a toothbrush. Data were collected through gum health examinations using the gingival index and caries detection through clinical examinations for 3 months. The results showed that the group that routinely flossed experienced a significant decrease in the level of gum inflammation compared to the control group. In addition, the flossing technique was also proven effective in reducing plaque formation between teeth, which is the main factor causing caries. In conclusion, the flossing technique has a positive effect on gum health and can play an important role in caries prevention. Therefore, the use of flossing is recommended as part of an oral hygiene routine to support optimal dental and gum health.

Abstract

The many possible risks associated with laboratory work are unavoidable. This study aimed to determine and analyze hazards, risks, impacts, risk levels and occupational safety and health (OHS) controls in the physics and chemistry laboratories of the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OHS) Medan. This is a qualitative research method with phenomenological approach hazard identification using Task Risk Analysis method using AS/NZS 4360: 2004 semi-quantitative. The tolerable risk threshold in the chemistry lab was 52, priority 3 was 10, and major was 11. The only thing OHS controlled in the physics lab was the air conditioning system. The presence of SOP (work procedures), MSDS (material safety data sheet) documents, OHS signs, supervision, managerial support, and the use of PPE masks, gloves, long-hand lab coats, rubber shoes, and other safety measures were all necessary in chemistry labs. Expanding the space, adding SOP, installing ventilation are all suggested at the physics laboratorium, Adopting ANSI / AIHA Z9.5-2003 ventilation guidelines, changing or replacing processes with safer chemicals, providing OHS training, and wearing coveralls and glasses are all recommended in the chemistry laboratory.

Abstract

Myopia or nearsightedness is a visual impairment whose prevalence is increasing, especially among adolescents living in urban areas. This study aims to analyze the risk factors that contribute to the increasing incidence of myopia in adolescents in urban areas. The risk factors studied include near visual activity, exposure to natural light, duration of digital device use, reading habits, and genetic and environmental factors. This study design used a cross-sectional approach involving 300 adolescents aged 12-18 years who were randomly selected from several schools in city X. Data were collected through questionnaires that measured visual habits, daily activity patterns, and family health history, and were strengthened by eye refraction examinations by medical personnel. Data analysis was carried out using logistic regression to identify the relationship between risk factors and the incidence of myopia. The results showed that excessive near visual activity, use of digital devices for more than 4 hours per day, and lack of exposure to natural light were significant risk factors for myopia in adolescents. In addition, genetic factors also play an important role in the predisposition of myopia. These findings are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the factors causing myopia among adolescents and become the basis for formulating effective prevention strategies.

Abstract

Health education is a crucial aspect of guiding learners about health in a broad range, encompassing physical, mental, and social well-being. Schools, being environments where students are exposed to various hazards, are particularly vulnerable to accidents. First aid education is essential in preventing injuries and ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary skills to respond effectively in emergency situations. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) based First Aid health education on the knowledge of Youth Red Cross (PMR) members at Titian Teras State Senior High School, Jambi City. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with one pretest-posttest group without a control group. A total of 50 PMR members were involved, divided into an intervention group (n=25) and a control group (n=25). The intervention group received AR-based First Aid health education, while the control group received conventional methods. Data collection was conducted using a knowledge assessment tool, and pre- and post-test analyses were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in the intervention group's knowledge. After the intervention, 80% of respondents in the intervention group achieved the "good" category, compared to only 36% in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test confirmed the significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05), indicating that the AR-based First Aid health education was more effective in improving PMR members' knowledge compared to conventional methods. This study concludes that AR-based First Aid health education is more effective in improving PMR members' knowledge compared to conventional methods. The integration of AR technology in health education highlights its potential in enhancing learning outcomes and improving the preparedness of students in responding to emergencies. The findings suggest that AR can be a valuable tool in health education, particularly in first aid training, by providing an immersive and interactive learning experience that enhances both knowledge and skills acquisition.
