Abstract

The transition from the preclinical to the clinical phase of medical education, characterized by a significant difference in the learning system and increased demands, often leads to stress among medical students. A very packed schedule, tight deadlines, and the need to adapt to a dynamic clinical environment are primary stressors for medical students during their clerkship. Prolonged high levels of stress can negatively impact mental health, academic performance, and the quality of medical care, increasing the risk of medical malpractice. Resilience, defined as an individual's ability to recover from difficult situations, has proven to be a crucial protective factor in mitigating the effects of stress. Resilience is a dynamic process demonstrated when individuals take adaptive actions in the face of adversity. It is not a genetic trait but a behavior that can be developed by strengthening the factors that support it. These factors can be internal, external, or interpersonal. One way to enhance resilience is through resilience training programs that involve interactive, independent, and reflective workshops. High levels of resilience among medical students are associated with increased subjective well-being, reduced stress levels, and a more positive perception of quality of life and the educational environment. Therefore, by enhancing resilience, medical students can better cope with the pressures of clerkship, maintain mental health, and optimize academic performance in medical care.

Abstract

Hemoglobin is an important protein in the blood whose job is to transport oxygen to body tissues. Low hemoglobin levels (anemia) in laparotomy patients can affect postoperative recovery time, including the duration of hospitalization. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between pre-operative hemoglobin levels and length of stay in laparotomy patients. Data were obtained from medical records of patients who underwent laparotomy at the hospital, including hemoglobin levels before surgery, length of stay, and additional variables such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and Surgical Apgar Score (SAS). The analysis showed that patients with low hemoglobin levels had a greater risk of experiencing longer hospital stays. This is due to suboptimal oxygen supply to the tissue, thereby slowing wound healing and increasing the risk of complications, such as infection and organ failure. Treating anemia with blood transfusions or iron supplementation has proven effective in increasing hemoglobin levels and speeding up patient recovery, with the average length of stay reduced to less than four days. Apart from hemoglobin levels, factors such as BMI, SAS, level of complexity of surgery, and the patient's health condition also influence the length of treatment. These findings emphasize the importance of monitoring and correcting hemoglobin levels before surgery as a preventive measure to speed recovery, minimize complications, and reduce hospital operational burden, especially in health facilities with limited resources. Further research is needed to determine the most effective clinical interventions in managing anemia in preoperative patients.

Abstract

Aging is a natural process experienced by all living beings, marked by physiological, psychological, and social changes in individuals over the age of 60, as well as a decline in functional capacity and structural changes in the body. Many elderly individuals reside in social care facilities, which, although providing care for the neglected or less fortunate elderly, often face negative views from society, especially those that adhere to strong family values, which can affect their quality of life. This study examines the culture and quality of life of elderly individuals living in social care facilities through a systematic review. Data were gathered from relevant articles using related keywords from various databases. The findings of this study indicate that elderly individuals residing in social care facilities tend to have lower quality of life, due to limited social interactions and health-related issues. Factors influencing the quality of life of the elderly include physical, social, psychological, and environmental aspects, which are often affected by health conditions, physical limitations, and the lack of social interactions in social care facilities. On the other hand, cultural values also play a role in shaping societal views of social care facilities, particularly in regions with strong family-oriented values. Recommendations to improve the quality of life for the elderly include increasing attention to both their physical and psychological health, while ensuring that cultural values are respected in elderly social care services.

Abstract

Dyspepsia syndrome is a digestive disorder characterized by symptoms such as epigastric pain, burning, bloating and nausea. In Indonesia, the prevalence is high, with most cases classified as functional dyspepsia. In medical students, poor and irregular diets are common due to academic pressure, busy schedules, and unhealthy lifestyles, which are thought to be the main risk factors for dyspepsia. These habits are further exacerbated by the consumption of unhealthy foods, such as fast food, as well as the habit of eating at irregular times. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between diet and the incidence of dyspepsia syndrome in medical students in Indonesia through a literature review. A literature search was conducted online using Google Scholar with the keywords “dyspepsia syndrome,” “medical student dyspepsia syndrome,” and “medical student diet.” Of the 635 articles found, 16 were screened based on relevance of content, availability of full text, use of Indonesian language, and time of publication within the last 5 years. Five relevant articles were selected for further review. The review showed a significant association between disordered eating patterns and the incidence of dyspeptic syndrome. Habitual skipping of breakfast, consumption of fast food, eating under stressful conditions, and lack of balanced nutritional intake contributed to the risk of dyspepsia. This conclusion emphasizes the importance of health education on regular diet, stress management, and healthy lifestyle to prevent dyspepsia syndrome and improve the quality of life of medical students.

Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and healthcare systems. Understanding prognostic factors that predict clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients is crucial, especially with the rising prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Recent studies have focused on hematological biomarkers, particularly the platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR), which reflects the interaction between immune system components and hemostasis. This literature review examines the prognostic value of PWR in acute ischemic stroke, correlating higher PWR with better clinical outcomes measured by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Lower PWR values have been associated with increased mortality risk within 90 days post-stroke. The dynamics of PWR provide insights into the body's response to ischemia and inflammation, highlighting its potential as a valuable prognostic marker. While PWR shows promise as a prognostic tool, limitations such as individual variability in inflammatory response, timing of measurement, and lack of standardization must be considered. Further research is needed to explore PWR's potential across diverse populations and address existing limitations to enhance its clinical application in managing acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract

The gradual neurological disease known as dementia causes a substantial reduction in cognitive function, which impairs an older person's capacity to carry out everyday tasks on their own. Dementia is a serious worldwide health concern since its prevalence rises with age. Through a narrative literature review, this study seeks to uncover modifiable risk factors for dementia in the elderly. Utilizing the terms "dementia risk factors," "factors of dementia," and "dementia in elderly," information was obtained from databases including Google Scholar, Garuda, and NCBI. The results show that reducing alcohol intake, quitting smoking, managing diabetes mellitus, and engaging in regular physical activity are all effective ways to avoid dementia. Increased cerebral blood flow from exercise supports cognitive function and slows the progression of dementia. Quitting smoking and drinking less alcohol reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and neurotoxic damage—all of which hasten the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Controlling diabetes helps avoid hypoxia and vascular damage, both of which can worsen cognitive impairment. These lifestyle changes not only lessen the risk of dementia but also greatly lessen the financial, social, and emotional strain on people, families, and communities. This article highlights the value of early intervention through lifestyle modifications and how it can enhance older people's overall quality of life. It offers practical advice on how to lessen the effects of dementia, one of the most important health issues of our time.

Abstract

Eclampsia defined as the occurrence of seizures in women whom meet the criteria for preeclampsia. The effects of preeclampsia that progress to eclampsia will cause neurological symptoms, including seizures, cerebral circulation dysregulation and neuropathology. Signs and symptoms of eclampsia include seizures, severe agitation and altered of consciousness. Preeclampsia and eclampsia are the causes of the high level of maternal mortality in the world. A 38 years old woman came to emergency room at RSUD Dr H Abdul Moeloek because of convulsion 1 hour ago which lasted about 5 minutes. Patients complain of blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. Patient founded hypertension was 174/110 mmHg and pretibial edema. Obstetric examination shows the pelvic inlet has not yet entered, his cannot be palpable, vaginal toucher found a soft portion without opening, amniotic and presentation cannot be assessed. Laboratory examination shows Hb 11.6 gr/dl, leukocytosis 19,700/µL, increased liver function SGOT 40 U/L, increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 655 U/L and proteinuria 500 mg/dL. Management in the ER consists of observation, administration of conservative and abortive therapy to stop seizures. MgSO4 injection was given at slow bolus dose of 4 grams followed by 500 ml RL infusion mixed with 6 grams of MgSO4 used up for 6 hours. Corticosteroid administration in this case was represented by an injection of Dexamethasone 10 grams every 12 hours. Nifedipine was given at 3x10 mg and Methyldopa at 3x500 mg. Keywords : Eclampsia, Partial HELLP Syndrome, Conservative Management, Antihypertensive Agent.

Abstract

Complaints of vaginal bleeding since 5 hours before admission to hospital. In this case, a physical examination and supporting examination in the form of ultrasonography were carried out so that it could be concluded that the cause of vaginal bleeding was placenta previa totalis with a single live fetus in the latitude. Placenta previa is a placenta that implants in the lower segment of the uterus so that it covers all or part of the internal uterine ostium. The frequency of antepartum bleeding is around 3% to 4% of all deliveries. The incidence of placenta previa varies between 0.3-0.5% of all births. Placenta previa is the most common cause of all cases of antepartum hemorrhage. This study is a case report of a pregnant woman, 32 years old, G2P1A0 34 weeks, who came with complaints of vaginal bleeding without pain and abnormalities in the position of the fetus. During the obstetric physical examination, it was found that the results of the inspection showed vaginal bleeding, the results of the palpation showed that the fetus was in a horizontal position, the results of the inspection showed that there was flux coming out of the external uterine ostium. Supporting examinations revealed an Hb level of 8.2 g/dl. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with placenta previa totalis and the fetus was transversely located. The management of this patient was expected to be discharged in good condition and scheduled for a cesarean section cesarean.

Abstract

Hypertension is the number one generative disease in the world that has blood pressure of more than 140/90 mmHg. Hypertension without therapy will become chronic and complicated. Therapy carried out for a long period of time causes a fairly high risk factor so that herbal therapy becomes an alternative. This literature review aims to determine the photochemistry and pharmacology of avocado leaves (Persea americana mill.) On antihypertensive activity. Photochemistry contained in avocado leaves can lower blood pressure in the form of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, steroids, and terpenoids. The method used is to review journal articles that have been published in Google Scholar and Pubmed. Using keywords such as "photochemistry, pharmacology, avocado leaves, and antihypertensive activity" 231 scientific articles and journals were obtained. This review article uses 10 selected scientific articles and journals. Experimental studies show that there are pharmacological functions that fight hypertension, which means that they can lower blood pressure.

Abstract

Larvicide is a compound that can be toxic, inhibit growth and development, affect behavior, affect hormones, inhibit feeding, and act as a larval killer. Larvicide is divided into two types, namely chemical larvicide and biolarvicide. Chemical larvicide is the larvicide most widely used by the community because it has a large substance strength. However, the use of chemical larvicide can cause damage, especially insects become resistant to drugs, in addition to causing environmental pollution because synthetic larvicide is difficult to decompose and causes poisoning in humans. The use of chemical larvicide can cause damage, especially insects become resistant to drugs, in addition to causing environmental pollution because synthetic larvicide is difficult to decompose and causes poisoning in humans. Therefore, a substitute for chemical larvicide in the form of biolarvicide is needed. Biolarvicide can act as a larval killer, attractant, antifertility agent (sterilization tool), biocide, and other forms that minimally cause drug resistance in insects. Biolarvicide comes from plant materials containing active compounds of secondary metabolites such as essential oils, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolics that can kill mosquito larvae and are obtained by extraction. This article provides a broader explanation of the content of secondary metabolite compounds in biolarvicide so that it can be more effectively used as a larvicide from natural materials. The contents of the article were obtained through searches of several national and international journals through the search keywords: Biolarvicide, secondary metabolites, and active compounds.
