Abstract

Stroke is a medical emergency caused by disrupted blood circulation to the brain, leading to rapid neurological dysfunction and potentially fatal outcomes if not treated promptly. Optimal management must be initiated within the first three hours after symptom onset, known as the golden period. However, many stroke patients experience delays in receiving treatment, particularly in the prehospital phase, where more than 80% of cases fail to obtain timely medical intervention due to late recognition of stroke signs and symptoms (Satapathy, et al., 2025). Several factors related to early stroke detection require further investigation to determine the most dominant contributors to delayed detection and management. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the occurrence of delays stroke detection among older adults in five Banjar in Melinggih Village. A descriptive correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional, conducted over three months from July to September 2025, with 292 respondents were selected proportionally based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected from older adult using structured questionnaires from AST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time), the Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen (LAPSS), and PACS (Medic Prehospital Assessment for Code Stroke). Data analysis was performed using spearman rho and multivariable logistic regression. The results demonstrated significant associations between early stroke detection and knowledge (p<0.001; OR=5.702), attitude (p<0.001; OR=4.820), awareness (p<0.001; OR=4.820), assistant support (p<0.001; OR=4.620), information access ((p<0,001; OR=0.474), education background (p<0,001; OR=4.820). Multivariate analysis identified knowledge factor associated early stroke detection occurrence (P<0.001; OR =5.502; 95% CI: 1.938–9.843). In conclusion, delays in early stroke detection among older adults is significantly associated with knowledge, attitudes, awareness, family accompaniment, access to information, and educational background. Enhancing knowledge among older adults, along with strengthening public health programs that provide stroke related education and reinforce the role of elderly health cadres in monitoring older adults’ health, is essential to reduce delays in early stroke detection among this population.

Abstract

Disturbance in olfactory perception is commonly identified as a non motor manifestation in Parkinson’s disease and is often interpreted as an early biological signal reflecting ongoing degeneration of neural structures. This study was specifically formulated to conduct an in depth evaluation of the association between reduced smell performance and impaired cognitive functioning in Parkinson’s disease by applying systematic numerical aggregation techniques that adhere to internationally accepted research protocols. A broad and methodologically organized literature exploration was conducted using PubMed Wiley and ScienceDirect to identify empirical studies examining the association linking smell processing ability with mental functioning measures in individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The screening process was carried out in accordance with clearly defined inclusion requirements. Assessment of smell function relied on the olfactory recognition assessment developed by the University of Pennsylvania Test UPSIT while evaluation of cognitive condition employed the MMSE alongside the MoCA cognitive screening tools. Pooled odds ratio values along with 95% confidence interval ranges were calculated using a random effects modeling framework. Overall 3 eligible studies comprising 773 individuals conducted in populations from America, Korea, and Britain met the established inclusion standards. Quantitative synthesis revealed a statistically meaningful relationship between impaired olfactory ability and reduced cognitive performance in Parkinson’s disease, with individuals experiencing hyposmia or anosmia showing a markedly increased probability of cognitive impairment compared with participants exhibiting intact smell perception OR 2.57 95% CI 1.15 to 5.74. The results of this analysis suggest a strong and statistically significant relationship between diminished olfactory capacity and cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease, highlighting its potential role as an early detectable clinical indicator of progressive cognitive deterioration. Despite the presence of variability among included studies and a relatively small pool of eligible research, the meta analytic evidence supports the usefulness of olfactory assessment as a non invasive and economically efficient approach for identifying cognitive risk in Parkinson’s disease. Additional large scale investigations employing uniform evaluation protocols are necessary to confirm these outcomes and enhance their relevance in clinical practice.

Abstract

The sticking phenomenon is a critical issue in the production of calcium carbonate–cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) chewable tablets, primarily driven by the hygroscopicity and reactivity of citric acid, which is used as a flavor-masking agent. This study aims to evaluate and determine the optimal method for mitigating sticking by modifying citric acid excipients using two approaches: granulation with mannitol (F1: 0.5%, F2: 1%) and coating with HPMC (F3: 0.5%, F4: 1%). The evaluation was conducted on the properties of the granule mass and quantitatively measured the percentage of sticking in industrial-scale modifications for 24 hours. The results showed that the control formula (F0), without modification, had the lowest sticking percentage (10.88%) and the highest moisture content (3.36%), as indicated by a "passable" flow property with a compressibility index of 21.47%. The 1% HPMC coating modification method (F4) was successful in eliminating stickiness to 0%, supported by moisture-control data (2.25%) and a significant improvement in powder-flow properties to “fair,” with a compressibility index of 17.06%. Although the 1% mannitol granulation method (F2) is relatively effective in reducing stickiness (0.85%), the 1% HPMC coating (F4) is more effective at physically isolating citric acid. This study concludes that the HPMC coating method is superior to the granulation method for physically isolating citric acid, yielding stable, non-sticking calcium carbonate–cholecalciferol chewable tablets.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, which can trigger inflammatory responses contributing to various vascular complications. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of DM-related complications through mechanisms involving oxidative stress and activation of NF-κB signaling, which influence platelet production and activity. Given inconsistent findings regarding the association between HbA1c and mean platelet volume (MPV) in previous studies, this study aims to investigate the relationship between HbA1c and MPV, a pro-thrombotic and inflammatory marker, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from the medical records of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Hospital, Indonesia, using purposive sampling. HbA1c and MPV data were obtained from patients’ medical records over the past year. Statistical analysis was performed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and Pearson correlation test. A total of 38 samples were included in the study. The mean HbA1c level was 10.37% (range: 6.50–16.10), while the mean MPV was 9.38 fL (range: 7.30–12.50). Pearson correlation test showed a significant relationship between HbA1c and MPV (r = 0.467; p = 0.003). There is a significant positive correlation between HbA1c and MPV in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a major public health concern, contributing to long-term healthcare costs and complications such as stroke and kidney failure. Although pharmacological therapy is essential, patient adherence to lifestyle-based approaches remains limited. Evidence demonstrates that acupressure and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) can lower blood pressure. However, no digital platform has integrated both interventions into a single self-management tool. This Research and Development (R&D) study developed an Android-based mobile application, Hipertensi Care, using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) to support hypertension self- management. The Analysis phase included a literature review, needs assessment, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 10 participants to identify user requirements. The Design phase involved creating the application workflow, interface, and evidence-based educational content. During Development, the application underwent content validation by 7 experts (three nurses, two acupuncturists, one cardiovascular internist, and one media specialist). A limited trial with 35 individuals with hypertension was conducted in the Implementation phase. Usability and user acceptance were evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The results showed excellent usability, high perceived usefulness and ease of use, and positive user experience across all UEQ dimensions. Overall, Hipertensi Care demonstrated strong alignment with user needs for hypertension self-management and is ready to progress to effectiveness testing to assess its impact on blood pressure and related clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Dengue infection remains a vital public health challenge in Indonesia, especially in Pontianak City, marked by fluctuating case numbers and unpredictable transmission patterns influenced by climate and environmental factors. Current prevention efforts are often hampered by the lack of precise, integrated early warning information about regional vulnerability. This study aims to develop and evaluate a predictive model for dengue infection vulnerability by incorporating climate factors (rainfall intensity, humidity), population density, and larval-free index (LFI) to establish an accurate early warning system. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was carried out using data from 2022 to 2024 in Pontianak. The study examined monthly rainfall intensity, relative humidity, population density, and LFI as predictors for dengue incidence. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess regional vulnerability. The results show that rainfall intensity (p= 0.025; AOR= 2.097; 1.100 - 3.398) and LFI (p= 0.042; AOR= 1.102; 1.100 - 3.398) were the predictor of dengue risk. The prediction model can support stakeholders and the community in implementing timely and targeted prevention strategies to lessen the burden of dengue infection

Abstract

Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, with persistent upper limb and hand impairments substantially restricting functional independence and quality of life. Robotic glove therapy has emerged as an innovative wearable rehabilitation technology designed to deliver high-intensity, repetitive, and task-specific hand training to stimulate neuroplastic recovery. Despite growing clinical interest, the breadth of current evidence and its translational implications remain insufficiently synthesized. This scoping review aimed to systematically map existing research on robotic glove therapy in stroke rehabilitation, identify methodological gaps, and analyze technological and clinical outcome trends. The review followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. A comprehensive search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and national index databases identified 110 records published between 2016 and 2026. After duplicate removal and eligibility screening, eight studies were included in the final synthesis, comprising randomized controlled trials, pilot trials, double-blind studies, and case reports conducted in Europe, Asia, and North America. The findings indicate that robotic glove interventions—including soft robotic gloves, EMG-driven systems, passive mobilization devices, and hand exoskeleton gloves consistently improved upper limb motor outcomes, hand dexterity, grip strength, spasticity, pain, and activities of daily living. Technologies incorporating intention-driven or EMG-triggered control demonstrated superior functional gains, underscoring the importance of active patient engagement in motor relearning. Importantly, robotic glove therapy demonstrates practical feasibility due to its wearable design, adaptability to various impairment levels, and potential for semi-supervised or home-based deployment. By increasing training intensity without proportionally increasing therapist workload, this innovation offers a scalable rehabilitation solution, particularly relevant for healthcare systems facing workforce limitations and growing stroke prevalence. While methodological heterogeneity and limited sample sizes constrain definitive conclusions, current evidence supports robotic glove therapy as a clinically promising and operationally feasible adjunct to conventional stroke rehabilitation, warranting larger standardized trials and contextual implementation studies in emerging healthcare settings.

Abstract

Enhancing family support in community-based palliative care is a growing global priority given the family's role as the primary caregiver for long-term palliative care patients in the community. This is a systematic literature review that aimed to synthesize recent evidence on the roles and contributions of families in caring for palliative patients in the community. A literature search was conducted through PubMed and ScienceDirect databases using the keywords “family role” OR “family support” AND “palliative” OR “palliative care.” The PEO framework guided the selection process, focusing on Population: families of palliative patients; Exposure: family caregiving roles; and Outcome: fulfillment of palliative care needs. Nine articles published between 2020 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria. The review identified diverse and interrelated family roles, including providing emotional and social support, delivering direct care, coordinating with healthcare professionals, engaging in decision-making and communication, and facilitating health education. Families also carried significant social and cultural responsibilities while adopting protective and adaptive coping strategies. The findings highlight that families are not merely companions but act as care managers, communicators, and educators who critically influence the quality of home-based palliative care. A unique insight from this review is the emphasis on the transitional phase from hospital to home as a crucial period requiring enhanced family capacity, structured coordination, and psychosocial support. Strengthening family education, telemedicine-based coordination, and community linkages emerges as a vital strategy to ensure holistic and sustainable palliative care delivery within community settings. Community nurses need to involve and meet the needs of families as clients in a nursing care plan that does not only focus on the needs of palliative patients

Abstract

Despite its minimally invasive nature, laparoscopic cholecystectomy carries inherent risks of complications and unplanned conversions to open procedures. Scoring systems, such as the one developed by Randhawa and Pujahari, are used to assess this risk preoperatively. While the Randhawa scoring system shows great performance in the original study, external validation is essential before it can be widely implemented. To address this, we conducted a study with a cross-sectional analytical design where all data prospectively collected to externally validate the diagnostic value of the Rhandawa scoring system in predicting laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficulty. Using consecutive sampling, this study was conducted at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital surgical ward and operating theatre between August and December 2025. Patients were evaluated preoperatively one day prior to surgery using the Randhawa scoring system, and intraoperative data, including duration, complications, and conversion, were recorded. Surgical difficulty was classified as easy, difficult, or very difficult based on these findings. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors in the scoring system that were significantly associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficulty. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the diagnostic performance of the scoring system, along with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). A history of hospitalization for acute cholecystitis was found to be significantly associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficulty in both bivariate (p = 0.009) and multivariate (OR 4.85; 95% CI: 1.52–15.40; p = 0.007) analyses. The preoperative score and laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficulties were found to be significantly associated (p < 0.05). Our findings also demonstrated that the Randhawa preoperative scoring system demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy with an AUC of 0.836. Using a cutoff threshold of ≤5 and >5, the scoring system yielded 56.25% (95% CI: 29.88%–80.25%) sensitivity, 87.5% (95% CI: 67.64%–97.34%) specificity, 75% (95% CI: 57.80%–87.88%) accuracy, 75% (95% CI: 48.11%–90.73%) PPV, and 70% (95% CI: 63.80%–83.66%) NPV. We concluded that the Randhawa preoperative scoring system is reliable and beneficial in predicting laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficulty. Furthermore, we suggest for subsequent multicenter validation with larger patient samples

Abstract

Textile industry is a labour-intensive industry with repetitive activities and heavy physical workload, thereby likely to cause metabolic fatigue as reflected by high levels of lactic acid. This study aims to examine the independent and combined associations of Body Mass Index (BMI), blood glucose levels, and physical activity with elevated lactic acid levels among textile workers. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 80 textile workers selected using at a textile company in Surakarta between January and March 2023. A series of binary logistic regression analysis were conducted, adjusting for age and sex, with statistical significance set to p < 0.05. The overall statistical significance of the model was found to be significant (p < 0.001) and the explanatory power of the model was very high (Nagelkerke R² = 55.2%). The most dominant factor associated with high levels of lactic acid was found to be the level of blood glucose above 180 mg/dL (aOR = 15.525; 95% CI: 3.003–80.263), followed by BMI over 25 kg/m² (aOR = 9.695; 95% CI: 2.155–43.617). Physical activity was found to be protective (aOR = 0.182; 95% CI: 0.037–0.891), but age and sex were not significant. These results suggest that metabolic behavioural factors are significantly associated with elevated lactic acid levels, which may indicate metabolic fatigue among textile employees. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening metabolic screening and promoting physical activity within occupational health programmes.
