Abstract

Disability can cause social dysfunctions that affect daily activities, social interaction, and work, which has a significant impact on the quality of life of schizophrenics so that they depend on other people. The use of pharmacotherapy alone is not enough; psychosocial interventions such as social skills training (SST) is needed to improve social functioning in schizophrenic patients. Incorporating social skills training (SST) into a multifaceted treatment and rehabilitation program is deemed significant. The study aimed to determine the effect of social skills training to improve social functions in schizophrenia patients in X Lawang Mental Health. This study used a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. Of 40 patients with schizophrenia who were admitted to X Lawang Mental Health fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion requirements. Social function scores were measured using the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) instrument before and after the social skills training intervention. The level of significance of statistical tests is stated at p<0.05. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test and linear regression. There was significant difference in social functioning scores between before and after social skills training with a value of p=0.000 (p<0.05). The results of the multivariate linear regression test showed that social skills training had a statistically significant effect to improve social function scores with a value of p=0.000. Social skills training has a significant effect to improve social functioning scores in schizophrenics at X Lawang Mental Health.

Abstract

Preeclampsia can occur from the time the mother is pregnant until 48 hours to 6 weeks after giving birth and is associated with an increased complication rate of 2-8% during pregnancy, contributing to 9 - 26% of maternal deaths. This condition can have significant prolonged effects on both the mother and the baby. Considering the high rates of morbidity and mortality in mothers and babies due to preeclampsia, this study aims to understand the characteristics of patients with preeclampsia at T.C. Hillers Regional Hospital of Maumere within the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2022. This study is a retrospective descriptive study using secondary data. The data collection was performed on patients diagnosed with preeclampsia and eclampsia during the study period. The results showed that most participants were between 20-34 years old, had a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 25, multigravida (had multiple pregnancies), housewives, High School graduates, and had a history of chronic hypertension. Based on risk factors, 35.5% of the subjects were ≥ 35 years old, 31% were primigravida (first-time pregnant), 26% were obese, 21% had a history of hypertension in previous pregnancies, 10,5% had chronic hypertension, 3% had multiple gestations, 1% of the subjects had a pregnancy interval >10 years, and 0.5% had diabetes mellitus. This study provides an overview of the characteristics and risk factors of pregnant women with preeclampsia in Maumere.

Abstract

Imperforate hymen is a rare congenital anomaly in which the hymen completely covers the vaginal opening, caused by the failure of vaginal plate canalization during the embryonic period. This article reported a 13-year-old girl with a chief complaint of cyclic monthly lower abdominal pain, suprapubic pain, and inability to urinate. She denied prior menstruation. Cystic mass was palpated in the suprapubic area, and the hymen was seen covering the entire vaginal introitus. Hematometra and hematocolpos were found on abdominal ultrasonography and the patient was diagnosed with imperforate hymen. Hymenectomy was performed and she had regular menstruation afterwards. If left untreated, it can lead to morbidities such as infection, endometriosis, subfertility, and kidney failure. It is essential for clinicians to consider imperforate hymen as the differential diagnosis and examine the external genitalia, especially in adolescents with cyclic monthly lower abdominal pain and amenorrhea.

Abstract

Malaria is a public health issue worldwide, especially in tropical areas such as Indonesia. Malaria in pregnant women leads to increased risks of anemia, low birth weight, and fetal death. In this study, we reported two cases of malaria in pregnancy in Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara, an endemic area, after several years with zero cases. The first case was malaria in the first trimester of pregnancy, while the second case was malaria with anemia and thrombocytopenia in the second trimester of pregnancy. Both patients were treated with supportive therapies and a combination of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHP) 1x3 tablets orally for three days, leading to a favourable outcome. Both cases showed that early diagnosis and combination therapy with the correct antimalarial agent is effective for malaria in pregnancy.

Abstract

The VIVIFRAIL program is an Multi Component Physical Exercise (MPC) program which includes strength trainings, aerobics, gait trainings, balance and flexibility exercises tailored for each individual, and designed to facilitate evidence-based exercise interventions for elder adults. This program, which is unprecedented in Indonesia, is targeting elder adults in the pre-frail stage who are aiming for robust or fit status. This study utilizes a qualitative method with 15 older adults as the respondents. The data was collected from semi-structured interviews to encourage respondents to openly share their experience on the VIVIFRAIL program. The Consolidate criteria for Reporting Qualitative research (COREQ) method is used for reporting. The objective of this study is to find out the elderly's first experience of participating in VIVIFRAIL exercise and its benefits in returning the elderly's physical performance to robust or fit status as well as the selection of accompanying music during the 12 week exercise in the Ward Area of Ardirejo, Kepanjen District. The results showed that our respondents experienced positive feeling and felt physically fit and fresh. They could also monitor their blood pressure and train their balance to avoid falling. Moreover, after getting the benefit, respondents expected that the program could be continued. As for the workout music selection, respondents chose Javanese traditional music (gending), dangdut/koplo, local music, campursari, oldies songs, and Malangan songs for accompanying their exercise. In conclusion, after participating in the VIVIFRAIL program for 12 weeks, the respondents felt positive and physically fit and fresh.

Abstract

Hypocalcemia can present with a variety of clinical symptoms and indications. In situations of nerve-related hypocalcemia, muscle cramps and tetany are signs of increased excitability in either peripheral nerves or the central nervous system. Here, we described the case of a 58-year-old woman experiencing ongoing pain and cramping in both her upper and lower extremities. Through careful physical, neurophysiological, and radiological examinations, we were able to identify hypocalcemia as the primary cause of her severe muscle spasms and cramps, known as spasmophilia. Further detailed history-taking revealed a past total thyroidectomy. Administration of adequate calcium supplementation successfully relieved the symptoms.

Abstract

Critical stenosis of the pulmonary valve in neonates is related to ductus-dependent pulmonary circulation. Percutaneous transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty (PTBV) is the treatment of choice for critical pulmonary stenosis. Unfortunately, many children in developing countries are usually diagnosed late and seldom get immediate care, which leads to delayed growth and development and, ultimately, higher morbidity and mortality. We present two cases of critical pulmonary artery stenosis in a 17-year-old boy and a 4-day-old girl who received PTBV procedures, but had different outcomes. We underline the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in critical pulmonary stenosis for the patient’s prognosis.

Abstract

Caesarean section (C-section) delivery has increased worldwide. The number of deliveries using the C-section procedure at the age of 10–54 years in Indonesia reached up to 17.6% of the total number of deliveries, due to the presence of medical and nonmedical indications. This study aims to analyze about nonmedical indications of C-section. This study uses a systematic review method. The inclusion criteria for the investigated studies were articles published in 2011–2021, written in English or Bahasa Indonesia, observational studies with case control or cohort as the design, and available to be downloaded in full text. In total, 12 articles were included in this systematic review. The nonmedical factors that influence the C-section procedure are antenatal care, the mother's level of education, residency, health insurance, socio-economics, occupation, previous birth histories, the mother's demand, the family's support and decision-making, and doctor's referral. The government, through the help of health practitioners, needs to increase the education to pregnant women and their families regarding the advantages and disadvantages of their preferred delivery methods.

Abstract

SARS COV-2 is the causative agent of the infectious disease Corona Virus Illness-19 (Covid-19). Covid-19 can cause damage to multiple organs, including the liver. The de Ritis ratio is a ratio between AST and ALT in blood serum, which may be a useful indicator for assessing liver damage in Covid-19 patients. The aim of this study is to determine the association between the severity of liver injury and an increase in the de Ritis ratio in Covid-19. The study population included patients with acute Covid-19 disease whose infection was validated using real-time PCR. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.  There were 1.983 subjects included, and 1.123 belonged to the moderate, 673 severe, and 181 to the critical groups. Calculations using Spearman rank revealed a strong significant association between De Ritis ratio and Covid-19 grade severity (rs=0.624, p<0.001). The more severe Covid-19, the higher de Ritis ratio values. The ROC curve of de Ritis ratio with Covid-19 severity shows AUC of 0.771 (P<0.001), sensitivity of 63.5%, specificity of 90.6%, PPV of 98.5% and an NPV of 20.02%. In conclusion, the severity of Covid-19 symptoms increases proportionally with the de Ritis ratio.

Abstract

Plasma leakage, thrombocytopenia, and cytokines play roles in pathogenesis of dengue infection. Thrombocytopenia correlates with severity of the disease. Dengue virus infection produces cytokines that stimulate C-Reactive Protein (CRP). This study aims to describe the results of CRP and platelet counts with severity of dengue infection in paediatric inpatient at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. This is a descriptive observational study with retrospective, cross-sectional data collection in January 1-December 31, 2021 at Hasan Sadikin Hospital. From 32 total subjects, there were 24(75%) non-severe dengue infections compared to severe dengue 8(25%). Non-severe dengue 19(79.2%), had the most platelet counts of 50,000-150,000/L, while platelets count 20,000-50,000/µL was mostly in severe dengue 4/8(50%). CRP value was mostly normal (<0.3mg/dl) as many as 18/24(75%) in mild dengue, whereas in severe dengue CRP was mostly high as many as 6/8(75%). CRP examination is mostly done in critical phase, both in severe and non-severe dengue. Severe dengue infection was found mostly in platelet counts of 50,000-150,000/µL and normal CRP level as many as 14(58.3%). In severe dengue infection, platelet counts was found mostly in 20,000-50,000/µL and high CRP (≥0.3mg/dl) as many as 3(37.5%). Most cases of dengue fever infections in children at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2021 were of mild severity, with platelet counts ranging from 50,000 to 150,000/µL and normal CRP levels. Examinations were typically carried out during the critical phase.
