Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems and a leading cause of disability and global productivity loss. This condition can be either acute or chronic and is caused by various factors, including mechanical, radicular, and nociplastic components. The complexity of its etiology and the variability of treatment responses necessitate a comprehensive and multidimensional approach. This study is a literature review that examines scientific articles obtained from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The articles reviewed were published between 2015-2025 and discussed aspects of  definition, epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of LBP. The review found that LBP has a high global prevalence, particularly among the productive age group and the elderly. Risk factors include biomechanical, psychosocial, and lifestyle aspects. Management of LBP involves pharmacological treatments (NSAIDs, tramadol, duloxetine) and non-pharmacological approaches (physical exercise, education, multidisciplinary rehabilitation). LBP is a complex public health issue with significant economic and social burdens. Effective management strategies require a biopsychosocial approach, appropriate use of screening tools, and multifactorial interventions tailored to the type and phase of pain. Prevention through education and physical activity has also proven effective in reducing the risk of LBP occurrence.

Abstract

Corneal ulcer is a pathological condition in the form of a lesion or defect caused by the loss of tissue discontinuity accompanied by infiltration, which can occur in the cornea, from the epithelium to the stroma. This literature review aims to describe the factors associated with the occurrence of corneal ulcers. This literature review describes the factors associated with the occurrence of corneal ulcers. Researchers use articles from Google Scholar and PubMed. The articles used are articles from the last 10 years from 2015-2025. Researchers use the keywords "corneal ulcer" and "factors". The articles obtained were 39 articles and 10 articles met the requirements. Researchers made a resume of the research results and interpreted and concluded from the selected articles. Corneal ulcers can be caused by various risk factors, both infectious and non-infectious. Unhygienic or prolonged use of contact lenses, viral infections such as herpes simplex, dry eye syndrome, eyelid disorders (such as entropion or trichiasis), use of steroid eye drops without medical supervision, and trauma or injury to the eye are the main causes. In addition, people with diabetes mellitus and those with a history of eye diseases such as blepharitis are also more susceptible to corneal ulcers.

Abstract

Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of a vertebra relative to the vertebra below it, causing pain. While various risk factors for spondylolisthesis exist, few studies have explored which risk factors are specific to one gender. Therefore, this study aims to find the relationship between gender and parameters that are commonly considered risk factors for spondylolisthesis. This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2024. A total of 35 patients with spondylolisthesis who underwent surgery at RSUP Fatmawati Jakarta were selected. Patient data were collected from medical records and screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the patients, 45.7% were male and 54.3% were female. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. There was a significant difference in the average weight and height between male and female spondylolisthesis patients (weight p=0.017<∝, height p=0.000<∝). There was no significant difference in age. Women with multigravida had the highest frequency (19) compared to primigravida (5), indicating a potential risk factor. No differences were found in joint laxity (p=0.968>∝), BMI, heredity (p=0.922>∝), or physical activity (p=0.076>∝) between genders. There are various risk factors for spondylolisthesis. This study found significant differences in weight and height between genders in spondylolisthesis cases, but no significant differences in other parameters. The study also suggests that multiparity may be a significant risk factor, although further research is needed to confirm this
