Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is an advanced radiology technique used to analyze brain metabolites, particularly in the diagnosis of abnormalities such as Space Occupying Lesion (SOL). Variations in parameters, such as Time Echo (TE), can affect the resulting spectrum, making it important to understand their impact. This study aims to analyze the effect of TE variations on MRS spectrum results in patients with SOL through a literature review. The methodology used is a literature review, collecting and analyzing various previous studies that discuss the impact of TE variations in MRS examinations. Data sources are taken from scientific journals, articles, and books relevant to the research topic. The literature review shows that TE variations, both short TE and long TE, have a significant impact on signal intensity and the types of metabolites detected in the MRS spectrum. These results indicate that the appropriate selection of TE can enhance diagnostic accuracy in detecting SOL. Data analysis shows significant differences in the Area Under Curve (AUC) values of the metabolites NAA, Creatine, Choline, Lactate, and myo-Inositol between different TE usages. These findings indicate that TE variations affect signal intensity and the types of metabolites detected in the MRS spectrum. Time Echo variations have a significant effect on MRS spectrum results in patients with SOL, which can improve diagnostic accuracy and understanding of MRS techniques in clinical practice. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for the development of knowledge in the field of radiology.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe radiation dose received by patients during Thorax examination can vary from one hospital to another. For this reason, the Indonesian government through BAPETEN has set the Indonesian Diagnostic Reference Levels in 2021 as a reference for radiation doses in medical imaging. This study aims to determine whether there is a comparison of these doses with the IDRL 2021 reference. This study is a quantitative study with an experimental and survey approach conducted at Tlogorejo Hospital, Semarang. The radiation dose value in the form of Entrance Surface Air Kerma (ESAK) was collected at Tlogorejo Hospital, Semarang. The ESAK value was obtained through simulation or measurement using a digital dosimeter placed on the surface of the water phantom for Thorax examination. The examination parameters used are standard parameters for adult Thorax examination in patients weighing 50-70 kg. Overall, 87 ESAK values were collected from Tlogorejo Hospital, Semarang. The results showed significant variations in the radiation dose of Thorax examination in hospitals with an average dose of 0.145 mGy. While the median ESAK value is 0.095 mGy. However, the study showed that the median ESAK value of Thorax examination at the hospital where the study was conducted was still within the IDRL 2021 recommendation limit, which was below 0.4 mGy. This study shows the importance of continuous optimization efforts to ensure radiation safety in patients undergoing diagnostic radiology examinations.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women throughout the world. A total of 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 670,000 deaths worldwide. Early detection is very important to increase the success of treatment, one of which is breast self-examination (BSE). However, there are still many suburban age women who lack knowledge about BSE. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of health education about BSE on increasing knowledge of early breast cancer detection in suburban-age women in the Garung Community Health Center working area. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The  sample consisted of 5 women of childbearing age who were selected using the Accidental Sampling Technique. The research results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge of respondents after being given BSE health education. Before the intervention, only 20% of respondents had a good level of knowledge, while after the intervention, this figure increased to 100%. The Wilcoxon test shows a p value of 0.043 (<0.05), which indicates that there is a significant influence of health education on increasing respondents' knowledge. Health education about BSE has a positive effect on increasing knowledge of early detection of breast cancer in women of childbearing age.

Abstract

ABSTRACTMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body. This procedure provides very significant benefits in the medical world, especially for detecting various health conditions. However, behind the benefits, there are potential safety risks that need to be well understood by medical personnel, patients, and patient companions. Awareness of these safety procedures is crucial to minimize the risk of injury or complications during the inspection. In one of the hospitals, the implementation of safety procedures involves providing comprehensive education to all relevant parties within the scope of MRI examination. This education includes an in-depth explanation of potential hazards, such as the interaction of metal objects with strong magnetic fields, as well as guidance on adhering to safety rules while in the MRI room. Medical personnel are also equipped with training designed to ensure compliance with safety protocols. The results of the study show that the level of awareness of MRI safety procedures still varies in various health facilities. Some facilities with good education and training programs show a higher level of awareness, while others require improvement in this regard. Efforts to raise awareness can be carried out through a combination of various approaches, including structured education, regular training for medical personnel, and the use of modern technology to support safety. With these measures, risks in MRI examinations can be minimized, resulting in a safe and effective examination environment.

Abstract

Visual impairment children have challenges in maintaining oral hygiene due to limited visual abilities. Parents and teachers play a critical role in guiding these children to improve their dental health. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health training using the “POSLEA” media in enhancing parents and teachers knowledge and improving the toothbrushing skills of visual impairment children. The study was conducted at SLB Negeri Jepara from September to October 2024. Subjects included 18 visual impairment students, 8 teachers, and parents. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and debris index assessments before and after the training. The training program consisted of material delivery, simulations, and hands-on practice using audio and braille-based media. The results revealed a significant increase in knowledge among parents (72% in the “good” category) and teachers (100% in the “good” category) after the training. Additionally, the toothbrushing skills of students improved from the “needs assistance” category to 89% of students achieving the “excellent” category. The training effectively facilitated understanding of proper toothbrushing techniques for all tooth surfaces and their application in daily routines. In conclusion, oral health training using the “POSLEA” media is effective in empowering parents and teachers to support the dental health of visually impaired children. Continuous monitoring is recommended to ensure the sustained positive impact of this training.
