Abstract

Highlights: • Customers expectations at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital has a higher quality of service. • The handling of complaints has a low performance on the quality of services at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. • Improving service quality requires improvements in efficient complaint handling. Abstract: Service quality is essential in health institutions that can affect patient satisfaction and loyalty. The growth in the number of patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, triggered the diversification of services that require periodic quality control. This study aimed to investigate the performance of 31 departments/units in the hospital, the level of customer satisfaction with services provided, and factors that could influence satisfaction. A survey about service performance, perception, and expectation of services was carried out in 31 departments/units using questionnaires from August to October 2021. Convenient respondents consisted of 2121 patients and their families aged >15. Questionnaire items assessed performance, perceptions, and expectations of health services using the SERVQUAL method. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to perform an analysis of the results of the measurement and the difference in responses between demographic groups of respondents (p<0.05 was significant). The mean performance score was 92.86, and the gap between their perception and expectation averaged -0.23. Customers' expectations of the provider's competence were met, and its performance was perceived to be the best. Meanwhile, handling complaints was perceived as having the lowest performance, while customers' satisfaction over it had not been met. The results showed that the hospital could still not fully meet some of the customer expectations, with immediate improvements needed in handling complaints.

Abstract

Tuberculosis in children is often a systemic complication because of their imperfect cellular immune system. ESAT-6, CFP-10, and MPT-64 are small molecular dominant antigens secreted by Mtb into the blood and filtered by the kidneys into urine. The high proportion of children with TB cases according to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2013 was 7.9%-12%. Diagnis is difficult to establish with sputum and blood samples. Therefore, it is necessary to support the diagnosis using urine samples with ICT rapid test. The purpose of this study was to determine the examination of Mtb ESAT-6, CFP-10, and MPT-64 antigens in the urine of pediatric TB patients with ICT to support the diagnosis. The method used was analytic observation with case control design. The results of the study showed that 32 of the urine of children with TB who were examined with ICT, 22 showed ESAT-6, CFP-10, and MPT-64 positive and 10 negative. Whereas, from 32 urine of healthy children, 25 were negative and 7 were positive. Analysis results showed 95% confidence (CI), p = 0.0002 (p <0.05), 78% specificity and 68.8% sensitivity compared to TB diagnosis from pediatricians. As a conclusion, Mtb ESAT-6, CFP-10, and MPT-64 antigens can be examined in the urine of pediatric TB patients with ICT to support the diagnosis.

Abstract

Red dragon fruit skin extract is used as an antioxidant to lead acetate toxicity. This study aimed to prove the difference in morphology of mice testicular spermatozoa exposed to lead acetate. Twenty-five mice were divided into 5 groups (5 mice per group). K- group was the control group without lead acetate and dragon fruit skin extract administration, K + group was treated with 8 mg/KgBW lead acetate administration for 14 days, P1 group was treated with the administration of 8 mg/KgBW lead acetate for 14 days + 250 mg/kgBW red dragon fruit skin extract for 21 days, P2 group was treated with the administration of 8 mg/KgBW lead acetate for 14 days + 500 mg/kgBW red dragon fruit skin extract for 21 days, and group P3 was a treatment group with the administration of 8 mg/KgBW lead acetate for 14 days + 1000 mg/kgBW red dragon fruit extract for 21 days. The results showed that there was significant difference (P<0.05) in normal sperm morphology among K-, K +, P1, P2, and P3. In conclusion, the administration of red dragon skin extract at a dose of 500 mg/kgBW (P2) is the optimal one which can be used as therapy to increase motility, morphology, and concentration of mice spermatozoa exposed to lead acetate.

Abstract

Highlights: 1.Due to the adverse effects associated with current antifungal drugs, research on traditional medicine is necessary to explore other options for candidiasis treatment. 2.Following the findings of this study, it is recommended to conduct further research by incorporating Coleus scuttellarioides filtrate into the growth medium, since this may improve bacterial growth by producing optimal secondary metabolites. Abstract Candida albicans is the most common organism responsible for both mucosal and systemic infections, accounting for approximately 70% of fungal infections worldwide. Miana, scientifically known as Coleus scuttellarioides (L.) Benth., is recognized for its use in traditional medicinal practices. Miana plants contain endophytic bacteria that possess the ability to produce secondary metabolites with potential antifungal agents. The objective of this study was to assess the antifungal activity of nine endophytic bacteria isolates derived from Coleus scuttellarioides against Candida albicans. This study was laboratory-based qualitative experimental research that applied the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method and several modifications. The Candida albicans specimens were spread throughout the entire potato dextrose agar medium. Afterwards, paper discs that had been soaked in a liquid culture of endophytic bacterial isolates were carefully placed on the surface of the medium. The complete setup was then incubated for 1–2 days. The potential antifungal activity of endophytic bacteria was assessed by observing the emergence of a clear zone surrounding their growth, which would indicate inhibition. An additional observation was performed in the follow-up test, involving the use of Sabouraud dextrose agar medium to confirm the initial test result. The results from the inhibitory test revealed that none of the bacterial isolates exhibited any inhibition zone. Conversely, ketoconazole as the positive control showed an inhibition zone with an average diameter of 28.5 mm. In conclusion, endophytic bacterial isolates obtained from Coleus scuttellarioides have no discernible antifungal properties against Candida albicans. This study implies that ketoconazole remains effective in treating infections caused by Candida albicans.

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. HPV high risk (HPVHR) were HPV16,18 related with invasive penile carcinomas, and HPV low risk (HPVLR) were HPV6,11 related to anogenital warts. Male infection is usually asymptomatic that it would be explain increasing the incidence of HPV associated cancers. Identification HPV genotype is very important for predicting the development of the diseases, to be benign or malignant cancer. The objective of this study was to identify the genotype of HPV that infect men with anogential warts. This research used 12 biopsy specimens from men patient with anogenital warts at Outpatient clinic of Department Dermatology and Venereology, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital period 2016-2017. The specimens were diagnozed by pathologist and HPV gentoyping was done to detect 40 HPV genotype including HPVHR and HPVLR. The result showed that 58% (7/12) were positive for HPVLR and 42% (5/12) were positive for HPV LR/HR. The genotype HPV that infected men patient with anogenital warts is HPVLR (HPV6,11) and HPVHR (HPV18,51,52,82) with single infection of HPVLR or mutiple infection HPVLR/LR or HPVLR/HR. The infection of HPVHR would be develops to be malignant transformation. It suggested that HPV genotype needs to be checked the for the anogenital warts cases for predicting the development of the diseases.

Abstract

Children of primary school are particularly vulnerable to schistosomiasis because 60-70% of them with age of 5-14 years do a lot of activity outside home. The impact of schistosomiasis in children are the lack of concentration in learning, anemia, and impaired growth. This study aimed to describe the behavior of children aged 7-12 years in Puro'o and Tomado Villages in preventing the transmission of schistosomiasis and to determine the correlation between age, sex behavior community in the prevention of schistosomiasis. The study was conducted in Tomado and Puro'o villages for 3 months from March to June 2016. This was a cross sectional study. The samples in this study were children aged 7-12 years, selected by stratified multistage random cluster sampling which was done in three phases: the first phase was the villages, the second phase was the primary school in the village, and the third stage was household selected by proportional random sampling. Data were collected through interview using a structured questionnaire and the observation was analyzed using chi-square test. Respondents who had less knowledge, mostly behave defecate/urinate (80%) in latrine/WC, handwashing behavior with soap after defecating/urinating (50%), wearing footwear outside the home (86.5%), and playing in the rice fields, marshes and lakes (67.3%). Analysis of the relationship between knowledge and child's behavior showed no significant relationship (p=0.114). As a conclusion, children aged 7-12 years in Tomado and Puro'o villages mostly had less supportive behavior in preventing the transmission of schistosomiasis and had moderate or less reliable knowledge.

Abstract

Stroke is still a major health problem in the world. Ischemic stroke accounts for 87% of all acute stroke occurrences. In 2013, the American Heart Association (AHA)/American Stroke Association (ASA), published a Guideline for the Early Management of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke. The managements consist of the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), endovascular treatment, etc. Unlike acute ischemic stroke, until now, no guidelines have been provided about the management of chronic ischemic stroke that approved universally. The result of the study with the title of "Intra Arterial Heparin Flushing Increases Manual Muscle Test – Medical Research Councils (MMT-MRC) Score in Chronic Ischemic Stroke Patient” is very interesting, because it is a new attempt to treat patients with chronic ischemic stroke. The purpose of this article is to review the study mentioned above, in accordance with the applied scientific principles and is based on the standard literatures and guidelines. Our review is limited only to the discussion of the study results. From this discussion can be proved the existing references that support and/or refuse the study results. Based on the discussions and conclusions of this study, there were no references to support that IAHF can improve motor functions (muscles) in patients with chronic ischemic stroke.

Abstract

This study was done to determine the suppression index of Cetirizine to the skin prick test results to obtain a correction constant or factor that can be used to assess the results of the skin prick test in patients who cannot stop the use of antihistamines (Cetirizine). This pre and post test study design clinical trial involved 22 atopic allergy patients who seek medical treatment at the Allergy and Immunology Outpatient Clinic Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Skin prick tests were done twice (SPT1 and SPT2) using house dust mite allergen extract to all study subjecs. The first (SPT1) were done after washout of all antihistamine for 1 week prior the test. All study subjects were then given Cetirizine 10 mg once daily for 5 days and on day 6 we performed the second test (SPT2). Cetirizine suppresion index and correction factor were calculated by comparing the wheal area of SPT1 and SPT2. All 22 study subjects (6 males and 16 females) were sensitized to house dust mite allergen. Mean serum total IgE levels were 176.42 + 352.5 IU/dL. Mean wheal area generated by the positive control (histamine 1 mg/mL) in SPT1 was 7.53 + 7.31 mm2, and in SPT2 was 1.08 + 1.46 mm2. Mean wheal area generated by house dust mite allergen in SPT1 was 43.57 + 36 mm2, and in SPT2 was 10.28 + 8.47 mm2. Cetirizine suppression index for positive controls (histamine 10 mg/mL) was 94.63 + 7.90% (p=0.000), while the Cetirizine suppression index for house dust mite allergen is 72.31 + 13.96% (p=0.000). There was no significant influence of serum total IgE levels to Cetirizine suppression index (p=0.381). The correction constant based on the calculation was 1.9. In conclusion, Cetirizine suppression index to the mean wheals area generated by house dust mite allergen was 72.31% and the correction constant was 1.9. In allergic patients who cannot stop their antihistamine drugs, Cetirizine 10 mg once daily can be used as a replacement and they still be able to undergo skin prick tests. The actual wheal diameter (or area) of the skin prick test results can be calculated by multiplying the measured wheal diameter (or area) under the Cetirizine administration with the correction constant.

Abstract

Valproate is the most common drug to use in bipolar disorder in Indonesia and the only mood stabilizer drug in national formulary. Combination of valproate and fluoxetine are the most used combination in bipolar disorder therapy in Bhayangkara Hospital, Kediri. However, this combination has been controversial because of its risk of triggering mania or hipomania episode in 12 months. The aim of this study was to analyze mood change symptoms with YMRS and MADRS scale after treatment of valproate and fluoxetine combination in continuation phase treatment of bipolar disorder. This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in psyciatry clinic in Bhayangkara Hospital Kediri between August 2016-October 2016 on 15 patients in YMRS. MADRS questionnaire was filled by physician before treatment and after 8 weeks treatments. Within 8 weeks, mean YMRS score changed from 1.4 to 1.26 (p>0.05). Whereas, mean MADRS score changed from 31.8 to 10.93 (p<0.05) after 8 weeks. There was no significant different in YMRS score between pre- and post-treatment, but there was significant different in MADRS score after treatment.
