Abstract

Highlight : • Disasters impact a large number of people, including nurses who are deployed in the disaster relief. • Culturally sensitive psychological first aid sessions, post-assignment in crisis situations monitoring, and grit have implications in pushing the nurses to overcome their trauma and obstacles. • Government policies are also important in helping nurses to heal after deployment in disaster relief. Abstract : Disasters are defined as catastrophic occurrences that impact a large number of people quickly and with an abrupt onset. On average, one natural disaster is reported globally each day. However, the impact of a traumatic occurrence on an individual may be compared to a rock colliding with the surface of a water body. Systematic searches were conducted in Cochrane, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The following keywords were used to perform a literature search: "nurse," "healing," and "natural catastrophes". As a result of reviewing 362 abstracts and titles, ten were determined to meet the study goals. The research methods in four of the ten literatures were qualitative, five quantitative, and one was a blend of both. Generally, culturally appropriate psychological first aid sessions, post-natural disaster assignment monitoring, and grit push people to overcome obstacles and accomplish achievements over time. Nurses who have been deployed to natural catastrophes must heal and need time to rest physically and mentally. This study aimed to find out the implications of culturally sensitive psychological first aid sessions, post-assignment in crisis situations monitoring, and grit in pushing individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve success over time; and how the government policies relate to trauma recovery.

Abstract

Highlights : • Alternative medicine is needed for pityriasis versicolor because there are recurrence cases and resistance to antifungal agents. • Kinar leaf ethanol extract cannot inhibit the growth of Malassezia furfur. • Further studies are suggested on the type of solvent and appropriate concentration to attract more bioactive compounds. Abstract : Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial dermatomycosis that can decrease human self-confidence. This infection is caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur. Eighty percent of recurrence cases after treatment and resistance to antifungal agents were found. Therefore, alternative medicine is needed. Kinar (Kleinhovia hospita Linn.) is a tropical plant that have bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of kinar leaf extract against the growth of Malassezia furfur. This research was a laboratory experimental study using paper disc diffusion method. Kinar leaves (green and yellow leaves) were macerated using 96% ethanol and made into concentrations of 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. As much as 200 mg of ketoconazole was used as a positive control and distilled water as a negative control then tested on Malassezia furfur using Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA). The parameter observed was the clear zone formed around the paper disc. The tests and observations showed that there was a clear zone formed around the paper disc. It means that the kinar leaf extract cannot inhibit the growth of Malassezia furfur.

Abstract

Highlights: • Computer vision syndrome (CVS) that causes dry eyes becomes a health problem for college students. • Sodium hyaluronate eyedrops can be used as one of the CVS therapy strategies for students suffering from CVS. Abstract: The use of computers and mobile devices is increasing. Computers and mobile devices help our daily work or study. However, prolonged use of them may cause computer vision syndrome (CVS). Nowadays, CVS becomes a health problem for everyone working with computers or mobile devices including college students because it causes dry eyes. It may disrupt reading, doing professional work, or using a computer which is important for college students to complete academic tasks. Sodium hyaluronate can be used to overcome the dry eye problem due to CVS. To assess the effectiveness of sodium hyaluronate eyedrops on students suffering from CVS, pre- and post-administration of sodium hyaluronate was measured for two weeks. Inclusion criteria for this study were college students aged 20-35 years, using a computer for >2 hours a day, not using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), not consuming drugs, or having a disease that affects tear production and bearing no pregnancy. Parameters assessed include tear break-up time using the Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT) test, tear production using the Schirmer I test, the number of clinically subjective symptoms, and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores. Data were analyzed using student paired t-tests or Wilcoxon Rank Test. There were statistically significant differences before and after the TBUT (4.4 vs 6.7 seconds; p<0.0001); the Schirmer I Test (4 vs 6 mm; p<0.05), and the number of clinically subjective symptoms (3 vs 0 clinically subjective symptoms; p<0.0001). The OSDI scores did not show statistical differences before and after administration of sodium hyaluronate (27 vs 21; p>0.05), but there was a positive impact from moderate to mild dry eye. Sodium hyaluronate eyedrops can be used as one of the CVS therapy strategies for students suffering from CVS.

Abstract

Highlight: • Sepsis and septic shock cause morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. • The accuracy of pediatric sequential organ failure assessment and anion gap (pSOFA+AG) was compared with AG and pediatric logistic organ dysfunction-2 (AG+PELOD-2). • The mortality assessment of pediatric septic patients showed that pSOFA was more sensitive than PELOD-2, while pSOFA+AG was not more sensitive than PELOD-2. Abstract: Sepsis and septic shock are some of the causes of morbidity and mortality (50-60%) in pediatric patients treated in intensive care rooms. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) score combined with anion gap (AG) score to Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score in the assessment of mortality in pediatric septic patients at the Resuscitation Room of Dr. Soetomo Geeneral Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. This was a retrospective observational cohort study using pediatric sepsis diagnosis guidelines based on the 2016 Pediatric Sepsis Consensus and medical records between January-December 2018. All data of patients aged 1 month to 16 years with suspected infection at the Resuscitation Room were collected based on predisposing infections, signs of infection, and warning signs. Organ dysfunction was assessed by calculating the pSOFA+AG scores, PELOD-2 scores, and corrected anion gap (cAG) in the first 24 hours. Sepsis mortality was assessed by comparing the results of the pSOFA, pSOFA+AG, and PELOD-2. The results showed 94.9% sensitivity and 70.0% specificity (p<0.0001) in the pSOFA, 89.9% sensitivity and 71.3% specificity (p<0.0001) in the PELOD-2, 79.7% sensitivity and 65% specificity (p<0.0001) in the AG, 79.7% sensitivity and 73.8% specificity (p<0.0001) in the cAG, and 79.3% sensitivity (p<0.0001) in the pSOFA+AG. In conclusion, pSOFA was more sensitive than PELOD-2, while the use of pSOFA+AG was not more sensitive than PELOD-2 in assessing the mortality of pediatric septic patients.

Abstract

Highlights: • Physical workload had no correlation with work fatigue among tank car drivers. • Companies and tank car drivers are advised to carry out work fatigue management by exercising lightly and fulfilling nutritional and water intake. Abstract : Every year, there are nearly a thousand times more of non-fatal accidents than fatal accidents. In Indonesia, Java Island has the highest number of traffic accidents. Work accidents have three main factors, i.e. worker factors, labor factors, and environmental factors. Fatigue is one of the conditions called silent killer. The aim of this research was to analyze the correlation of physical workload with work fatigue in tank car drivers at Surabaya Integrated Terminal. This research was an observational cross-sectional study. The sample were 205 tank car drivers fufilling the inclusion criteria as fuel tank car drivers and willing to participate in this research. The independent variable in the study was physical workload, while the dependent variable was subjective work fatigue. Data were collected using the IFRC questionnaire. The Spearman's correlation test revealed the value of Sig. (2-tailed)=0.437, indicating no significant correlation between physical workload and subjective work fatigue. The results showed that the physical workload had no correlation with work fatigue. Fatigue found among the drivers are probably induced by other factors not analyzed in this study. Companies and tank car drivers are advised to carry out work fatigue management by, for example, drinking water regularly, carrying out light exercise, and fulfilling nutritional intake.

Abstract

Highlights: • Malaria is prevalent in many populations of communities despite preventive measures. • The experimental was screened for bioactive components which could be the reason for the antimalarial effect and the plant shows dose dependent antimalarial activity. Abstract : Malaria has been one of the world's worst killer diseases throughout recorded human history. Despite attempts to eradicate the disease, it remains a global burden. This could be a result of parasite resistance to current therapy. However, this research aimed at evaluating the in vitro antimalarial activity of ethanolic extracts of Terminalia mantaly on Plasmodium falciparum. The plant extracts were prepared by cold maceration in 70% ethanol and air-dried by a rotary evaporator. The phytochemical analysis was carried out using standard procedures outlined in the Analytical methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC, 1990) which indicates the presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, phenol, steroids, and balsam. The in vitro antimalarial assay was carried out according to the method described by WHO (2001). All data were represented as Mean ± Standard deviation. Ethanolic extracts of the three parts of the plant were subjected to in vitro antimalarial activity at three concentrations (300 mg, 150 mg, and 75 mg) in four replicates with artemether (standard drug) as a positive control. Stem bark at 300 mg/kg completely cleared the parasites with a 0.00% parasitaemia rate and there was no significant difference when compared with positive control at p<0.005 value of 1.00. This study affirms the use of the plant for the treatment of malaria.

Abstract

Highlights: • Eschericia colli was the most contaminant bacteria among food samples from Warmadewa Cafeterias • Further suggestions to increase the hygiene in food processing must be offered. Abstract : Foodborne diseases still remain a problem especially in public areas. This study aimed to identify pathogenic bacteria in foods sold at the cafeterias of Universitas Warmadewa, Denpasar, Indonesia. The presence of pathogenic bacteria in the food samples was identified using the brain heart infusion (BHI) agar for the growth of Escherichia coli and Streptococcus aureus, selenite for Shigella and Salmonella, and alkaline peptone for Vibrio cholerae, then bacterial culture was conducted to identify the species. The results showed that Escherichia coli were found in two food samples, kangkong and jinggo rice, with the colony counts of 50-118. Escherichia coli was the most commonly found contaminant in food samples from the Warmadewa Cafeterias. Further suggestions must be offered to increase hygiene in the food processing by advising the stalls' owners to serve good foods and conducting regular inspections to assess the food quality.

Abstract

Highlights: • This research compared the hondroregenerative potential between bovine cartilage scaffold with platelet-rich fibrin (BCPRF) and autologous cartilage. • The formation of newly-regenerated chondrocyte, the thickness of type II collagen, and the rate of cartilage resorption following the subcutaneous implantation were assessed. • BCPRF is highly biocompatible and can be developed as an alternative to alloplastic porous polyethylene (Medpor) implant material. Abstract: The invention of alternative implants with regenerative potential comparable to autologous cartilage continues to be encouraged due to high morbidity of the donor site related to autologous harvesting process. This research attempted an invention of alternative implant using tissue engineering techniques in the form of endogenous regeneration by combining decellularized bovine cartilage scaffold with platelet-rich fibrin (BCPRF) that was implanted subcutaneously. The study aimed to compare the chondroregenerative potential between BCPRF and autologous cartilage in terms of the formation of newly-regenerated chondrocyte, the thickness of type II collagen produced, and the rate of cartilage resorption following the subcutaneous implantation. This study was conducted in a pretest-posttest control group design using New Zealand white rabbits. Forty-eight experimental samples were divided into two groups, then treated with subcutaneous implantation of BCPRF and autologous cartilage respectively. The results were evaluated after six weeks of implantation. Thirty-nine samples were evaluated. There was a significant difference found from both groups in terms of the formation of newly-regenerated chondrocyte, the thickness of type II collagen (p=0.000), and the implant resorption rate (p=0.000). The microscopic images demonstrated a superior chondroregenerative potential in the group receiving implantation of autologous cartilage compared to the group receiving BCPRF. The chondroregenerative potential for autologous cartilage and BCPRF differed significantly in terms of the formation of newly-regenerated chondrocyte, the deposition of type II collagen matrix, as well as the resorption rate.
