Abstract

Ultrasonography (USG) is a diagnostic tool in medical imaging that operates on the principle of ultrasound waves emitted by a transducer. Recent advancements in USG technology have significantly enhanced its diagnostic capabilities. Renal elastography, a specialized application, enables the assessment of tissue stiffness or elasticity. The technique involves applying pressure to the tissue and measuring the resulting strain, providing valuable insights into the extent of fibrosis in the renal parenchyma. This article presents a comprehensive review of renal elastography ultrasonography and its clinical applications. USG is a non-invasive imaging modality that requires no special preparation, typically performed with the patient in a supine position. The kidneys are evaluated in longitudinal and transverse planes using a transducer positioned at the flank. Various elastography techniques exist, categorized based on the intensity of external pressure applied.

Abstract

A low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as an infant born weighing less than 2500 grams regardless of gestational age. The main factors causing LBW are maternal factors, fetal factors, and placental factors. Risk factors for LBW associated with maternal factors include a history of complications during pregnancy, one of which is gestational diabetes mellitus. This study used a cross-sectional design with Pearson Chi-Square statistical test conducted at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek General Hospital, Lampung Province in October - November 2024. The study sample was infants born at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Hospital in the period January - December 2023. The results of this study indicate that 16% of infants born were extremely low birth weight (ELBW), 20% of infants born were very low birth weight (VLBW), and 64% of infants born were low birth weight (LBW). The results of the chi-square analysis showed that there was a relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (p = 0.042) and low birth weight (LBW).

Abstract

Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of chronic skin inflammation caused by the fungus Malassezia sp. which is often found among patients. The prevalence reaches 4.38% on a global scale and 2% - 30% in Asia. Often found in infantile (self-limited) and adult (chronic) patients. This disease is considered to reduce the patient's quality of life. The high number of cases and the rate of decline in patient quality of life due to seborrheic dermatitis became the basis for conducting this research. Research was conducted to collect and analyze articles that raise topics related to clinical aspects of seborrheic dermatitis. The research design used was a literature review. Article collection was carried out using relevant article search applications such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Prospero. The articles used have a range of publication criteria in 2013-2024. Based on the articles collected, results were obtained in the form of risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of seborrheic dermatitis. Risk factors that are considered to trigger seborrheic dermatitis include high sebaceous gland activity, low body immunity, physical environmental factors in the form of humidity and temperature, and a history of poor personal hygiene. The appearance of the disease is in the form of reddish lesions covering fine colored scales, sometimes accompanied by oil or white powder. The severity of the disease is determined through the SDASI score or Seborrhoeic Dermatitis Area Severity Index. Healing therapy aims to reduce symptoms and improve skin function. The type of therapy given is based on the lesion severity index and the patient's response to therapy.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is one of the infectious diseases that has a fairly high morbidity and mortality rate, especially in developing countries, especially in Indonesia. Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi. This disease can be transmitted through consuming water or food contaminated with urine and feces from typhoid fever sufferers, for example, water that will be used for drinking, cooking, or washing food ingredients. There are more serious clinical symptoms, such as high fever or hyperthermia, remittent fever, and decreased level of consciousness that can lead to coma or delirium. Further complications such as dehydration and acidosis can also occur, which have negative impacts in cases of typhoid fever. The purpose of this review article is to determine what personal and environmental risk factors are present in the occurrence of typhoid fever. The method used in this study is a review article with specific research of various articles found, then combined and a summary conclusion is drawn. The journals used have been published for the past 5 years (2019-2024). The results and conclusions show that several personal and environmental risk factors in the occurrence of typhoid fever include age, gender, personal hygiene, and clean water sources.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological complaint among adolescent girls and young women, characterized by disruptive menstrual pain. This condition can affect health, social relationships, as well as school and work activities. The WHO in 2017 stated that 90% of women of reproductive age worldwide experience dysmenorrhea, while in the Southeast Asia region, the prevalence reaches 50.9% in Malaysia and 64.25% in Indonesia. Dysmenorrhea can be classified into primary dysmenorrhea, which occurs without any underlying pelvic pathology, and secondary dysmenorrhea, which occurs due to pelvic pathology such as endometriosis. The severity of primary dysmenorrhea can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe using the WaLIDD Score, a tool that helps measure the intensity and impact of pain. Management of dysmenorrhea can include NSAID medications, hormonal therapy, and alternative therapies such as exercise, although their effectiveness has not been consistently proven. Most teenage girls often consider dysmenorrhea to be a normal part of a menstrual cycle. However, dysmenorrhea that does not receive proper treatment will later impact cases of endometriosis in the future. With a better understanding of the causes and management of dysmenorrhea, it is hoped that patient awareness can be increased and they can be encouraged to seek appropriate medical treatment.

Abstract

Air pollution is waste produced from human activities in meeting their needs can become air pollution that has an impact on disorders and diseases due to air pollution, especially in the respiratory tract due to long-term exposure. Carbon monoxide is one of the toxic substances resulting from the process of imperfect combustion and driving fumes. Exposure to carbon monoxide in the respiratory system results in the formation of a bond of carbon monoxide (CO) with hemoglobin to become COHb. Carbon monoxide (CO) and O2 compete to occupy the same binding site in Hb, but the affinity of Hb for CO is 240 times greater than for O2. Other factors that cause the formation of COHb in the blood besides exposure to CO pollution such as smoking habits. chemicals contained in each cigarette, some of which are toxic, including CO gas. A person who smokes one pack of cigarettes/day can have a COHb level of 3% to 6% in the blood, with two packs/day the level can be 6% to 10% and as much as 20% with three packs/day. The easiest effort to avoid risk is the use of proper personal protective equipment. In this case, the use of masks can be useful because the exposure process is through inhalation. This study is a literature review that collects and evaluates research using Google Scholar with the keywords "Carbon Monoxide, COHb, Carbon Monoxide, workers, pollution". The results of the article review obtained several data on CO levels in the bodies of workers caused by exposure to CO gas that occurs due to their work environment. This concludes that exposure to CO gas can increase CO levels in the human body which has an effect on a person's health, especially in their breathing.

Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a group of symptoms caused by compression of the median nerve, resulting in increased carpal tunnel pressure on the wrist. Dominant paresthesia at night, pain that is worse at night, and weakness in the hands (for example, holding objects, making fists, and impaired fine motor skills in the hands) are symptoms that can occur in CTS sufferers. The incidence of CTS is estimated at 2.7-5.8% in the world, 7-16% in the UK, and 2.6 million adults (1.55%) experience CTS in the United States. The incidence of CTS is not yet known with certainty in Indonesia, but research in Denpasar reported that there was an incidence of CTS in workers of 79.2% (Paramita et al., 2021). CTS risk factors are divided into internal and external factors. Internal factors, including age, gender, nutritional status, pregnancy, menopause, other medical conditions (fracture or dislocation, diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis). External factors, including repetitive wrist and hand movements, stiff and inappropriate work postures, long work duration. Physical and supporting examinations need to be carried out to help diagnose CTS. Examinations that can be carried out include provocation examinations, electrodiagnostic examinations and ultrasound examinations. Patients who have been diagnosed with CTS can be treated immediately to prevent further severity, including conservative therapy, pharmacological therapy, surgical therapy, or occupational therapy.

Abstract

Central obesity, or abdominal obesity, is a condition marked by excessive fat accumulation around internal organs, leading to a variety of health complications such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders, including low back pain (LBP). Central obesity is defined by increased waist circumference, with values greater than 80 cm in women and 90 cm in men. The condition is primarily influenced by factors such as physical inactivity, poor eating habits, and aging. The relationship between central obesity and LBP is supported by studies indicating that abdominal fat increases mechanical load on the lumbar spine, contributing to disc degeneration and pain. Additionally, adipose tissue secretes pro-inflammatory cytokines that exacerbate inflammation and pain sensitization in the spine, leading to LBP. Obesity-related complications, such as muscle weakness and sleep disturbances, can further reduce quality of life. Preventive measures for LBP include physical exercise, weight reduction, and posture correction. Effective treatment options range from pharmacological therapies to physical rehabilitation and alternative medicine approaches. Understanding the link between central obesity and LBP is critical in developing preventive strategies and improving the management of this common condition.
