Abstract

Background: The incidence of TB cases in Indonesia is very high. Although it was undergoing treatment and was declared cured the infection, but it does not mean that the infection does not leave sequelae.Patients TB sequelae decreased functional capacity and quality of life.Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between functional capacity (12MWD) and quality of life (SGRQ) in tuberculosis sequelae patients.Method: Patients with TB sequelae aged 18-59 years without comorbid examined functional capacity with a 12-minute walking distance test and assessment of quality of life using the SGRQ questionnaires. Statistical analysis is using correlation and regression.Result: There were significant negative correlation (p<0.05) between the 12 minute walking distance and activity domain (r -.336). In other domains, there is a negative relationship but not significant at the totaldomain (r -.152), impacts (-.124), and symptoms (-.043).Conclusion: There is a significant negative relationship between the 12 minute walking distance and quality of life as assessed by questionnaire SGRQ in activity domain, in other domains there is also a negative correlation but was not statistically significant. The higher of functional capacity patients with tuberculosis sequelae, the quality of life also become higher.

Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome and depression are two major diseases over the world, which are increasing in prevalence over time. Depression is major mental health burden over the world. In long time, depression can lead to metabolic syndrome, while metabolic syndrome is risk factor for developing depression. Chronic stress that induced by psychosocialstressor lead to the development of both metabolic syndrome and depression. Further research is important to identify which type of psychosocial stressor is the risk factor for depression symptom in patient with metabolic syndrome.Aims: This study is to identify the type of psychosocial stressor which could be the risk factor for depressive symptom.Method: The study design was case control. The case group consisted of metabolic syndrome patients with depressive symptom, while the control group consisted of metabolic syndrome patients without depressive symptom. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Depressive symptom was measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Psychosocial stressors were measured by Stressful Life Events (SLE) questionnaire. Dependent variable was depressive symptom, while independent variables were type of psychosocial stressors (finance, work, social relationship, health and housing). Analysis methods that used in this study were independent t test, Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis, chi square and logistic regression.Result: There were 54 patients in this study, consisted of 24 in case group and 30 incontrol group. There was no significant difference in most basic characteristics between two groups. There was significant difference of SLE score between two groups. Chi square analysis showed that housing, finance, health, social relationship, and work stressors were risk factors fordeveloping depressive symptom in metabolic syndrome (OR 24.5; 9.7; 8.4; 5.4; 3.9 respectively, significant). Demographic factor which also influenced depressive symptoms was salary less than 1 million per month (OR 45, significant). According to logistic regression analysis, psychosocial stressors which most influenced the depressive symptom were finance and housing.Conclusion: The study showed that housing, finance, health, social relationship and work stressors were risk factors for developing depressive symptomp in metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

The condition accompanying depression will always be progressing into poor prognosis if the depression itself is not recognized and treated properly. Among diabetic patients, depression was associated with increased mortality and poor quality of life . It was observed that diabetes and depression has a bidirectional relationship, where the clinical course of both conditions are affecting each other. Despite the effectiveness of psychological and psychopharmacological interventions in treating depressive symptoms in diabetic patients, the effect of such interventions on glycemic control is still inconsistent. Complementary alternative medicine (CAM) alone or in combination with standard medical treatment, targeting both depression and diabetes, appears to be promising. Latihan Pasrah Diri (LPD) has been recognized as a type of relaxation technique under CAM. It is initially directed to provide adequate relieve of depression using both religious and relaxative approach. Among patients with comorbid diabetes and depression, this approach has long been known and utilized over the counter, but its formal practice is seldom advocated, whereas, many clinical trials has been conducted locally to reveal its potential use. Combined with standard therapy, LPD is expected to show its beneficial effects.

Abstract

Background. Liver cirrhosis is a pathological condition that describes the end stage of hepatic fibrotic which progressively ongoing that signed by distortion from hepar architecture and the formation of the regenerative modulus. Liver cirrhosis causes impairment in most of the liver function including the hormonal balance and metabolism of steroids. In the male patients, liver cirrhosis causes hypogonadism and feminization. Sexual dysfunction in cirrhotic patients is still underestimated and underdiagnosed. The most common sexual dysfunction in male cirrhotic patients is impotence or erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is define as a persistence inability to reach and/ or maintain enough erection to satisfy the sexual activity. International Index of Erectile Function 5/IIEF-5 could mark erectile dysfunction. Despite the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is high in patients with liver cirrhosis, only a few studies revealing the relationship between severity of liver cirrhosis and severity of erectile dysfunction.Objective. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between MELD score and severity of erectile dysfunction (IIEF-5 score) in cirrhosis patients.Methods. This study is observational with a cross-sectional method. Subjects were patients with liver cirrhosis, male, age 18 to 65 years old, married, have a partner, and agreed participated to this study. We used Pearson the correlation to assess correlation between severity of liver cirrhosis (Child Pugh score) and severity of erectile dysfunction (IIEF-5 score) if the data were distributed normally and Spearman correlation if the distribution is abnormal.Conclusion. There is negative correlation with the moderate strength degree between MELD score (the degreee of severity in liver cirrhosis) with the IIEF-5 score (the degree of erectile dysfunction). Keywords: liver cirrhosis, MELD score, erectile dysfunction, IIEF-5, correlation.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Insulin sensitizer drugs such as metformin has suggested giving in metabolic syndrome patient and NAFLD, which both pathogeneses were insulin resistance. Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), anti-hypertension drugs, has the similar properties to improve regulation of Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gama (PPARɤ). This aim of the study is to prove the improvement of insulin resistance which examined by HOMA-IR method on metabolic syndrome patient with NAFLD after receiving metformin and valsartan medication.Method: This study was conducted to the patient in Endocrinology Clinic Sardjito General Hospital aged 35-36 years who meet diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome based on the IDF in 2006 and NAFLD. Convenience sampling method is done for 11 months (May 2012 – March 2013) and was expected sample size 35. HOMA-IR examination made before and after administration of metformin and valsartan for 12 weeks. Cut off value for HOMA –IR on pathological metabolic syndrome and NAFLD was ≥ 2. Medical and Health Research Ethics Committee (MHREC) Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada approved this study protocol.Result: Subject of study retrieved 15 (43%), six males (40%) and nine females (60%) aged 43-63 years old. Median HOMA-IR baseline was 2.8 (0.6-14.5) and at the end of therapy was 3.8 (1.72-14.1). Eleven (74%) have increased HOMA-IR value and four (26%) experience declined but none of them reach the value below 2. In general clinical improvement occurs in the form of AST and ALT reduction but not statistically significant.Conclusion: This study does not prove that administration of metformin and valsartan in-patient with metabolic syndrome with NAFLD would improve insulin resistance assessed by the HOMA-IR method.Keywords: Metformin, valsartan, metabolic syndrome, NAFLD, HOMA-IR
