Abstract

BACKGROUND In 2017, the Indonesian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization recommended a safety monitoring demonstration program for the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in West Lombok and East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara to evaluate the 2-dose primary series (2 and 3 months of age) for serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse events, systemic events, and local reactions. METHODS A total of 1,083 infants from 10 primary healthcare centers were analyzed, with 687 receiving the first dose and 396 receiving the second dose. Based on the national immunization program, they received PCV13 + DTwP-HB-Hib + OPV (n = 544), PCV13 + DTwP-HB-Hib (n = 101), or PCV13 only (n = 403). They were monitored for 30 min after vaccination for any immediate SAEs, and parents were given a diary card to record safety information prospectively for 28 days. RESULTS No immediate SAEs were observed, and no SAEs were reported during 28 days after vaccination. Reports of local reactions and systemic events predominated on days 1–3 post-vaccination. Severe fever (axillary temperature >39.0°C) was uncommon (<2% of all infants). Most irritability was mild to moderate. Local pain was more frequent after the first dose than after the second dose. It was distributed evenly across mild, moderate, and severe classifications, while redness and swelling were mostly mild to moderate. CONCLUSIONS The PCV13 primary series demonstration program in Indonesia confirmed tolerable local and systemic reactions.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Pulmonary resident physicians are part of the frontline workers for COVID-19 in the hospital and might require a suitable coping strategy to manage stress. Here, we described their mental health status and coping strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS A cohort study was done to evaluate stress, anxiety, depression, and coping strategies among pulmonary resident physicians in a tertiary referral hospital. Questionnaires were administered in 4 time points between August 2020 and June 2021. The DASS-21 questionnaire measured depression, anxiety, and stress, while Brief COPE instrument qualified the coping strategy. RESULTS The total respondents who filled the questionnaire in 4 time points in August 2020, October 2020, February 2021, and June 2021 were 60, 93, 96, and 94 resident physicians with mean stress levels of 4.3, 6.1, 5.4, and 6.3, respectively. Depression, stress, and anxiety were less frequent during the study period, mostly mild or moderate. However, moderate anxiety slightly increased in June 2021 when the pandemic reached its peak. Most of them (95.8%) had effective coping strategies related to religious beliefs. CONCLUSIONS Effective coping strategies might preserve the pulmonary resident physicians’ mental health during the pandemic. Furthermore, the sociodemographic and cultural background might affect the coping strategy. Practicing religion and praying or meditating might be essential factors in coping with psychological distress and a key to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Nasal silicone injections have been a common procedure among Asians. However, this procedure can lead to severe complications. Unfortunately, there are limited data available on the distortive characteristics of nasal siliconoma in the Asian population. This study aimed to provide objective data on the distortive characteristics of nasal siliconoma to be a reference for a treatment outcome. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from June 2017 to March 2018. The study included 30 Asian females with nasal siliconoma, and nasal photogrammetric measurements were taken using a portable mirror stand device and analyzed to formulate the distortive characteristics. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation) of intercanthal width was 3.33 (0.25) cm, nasal root width was 2.70 (0.30) cm, alar width was 4.48 (0.31) cm, two tip-defining points (TDP) distance was 2.09 (0.22) cm, nasofrontal angle was 141.10 (8.40)°, length of the nose was 3.10 (0.48) cm, nasofacial angle was 32.94 (4.51)°, nasion projection was 0.64 (0.36) cm, pronasion projection was 2.00 (0.25–2.46) cm, tip angle was 122.7 (4.52)°, nasolabial angle was 78.81 (15.93)°, columella length (n = 20) was 0.64 (0.20) cm, tip lobular portion length was 1.12 (0.20) cm, the extend of extended columella was 0.47 (0.31) cm, and base of the nasal width was 3.98 (0.25) cm. CONCLUSIONS Nasal siliconoma in Asians had certain characteristics such as a wider nasal root, wider two TDP distance, wider nasion projection, acute nasolabial angle, hanging columella, and a long lobular portion of the tip.

Abstract

BACKGROUND The short version of the new brief job stress questionnaire (SV-NBJSQ) that is originally in Japanese could evaluate work-related stress in Indonesian office workers. However, it has not been validated in Indonesian. Thus, this study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the SV-NBJSQ. METHODS This study was conducted by linguistic and cultural adaptation of the original Japanese questionnaire into Indonesian and continued with exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency, and reliability test of Cronbach’s alpha. Electronic and paper-based data were collected using total sampling from office workers at two companies in Jakarta from December 2017 to August 2018. RESULTS A total of 438 respondents filled the questionnaire. The final version of the questionnaire consisted of 63 items, screened based on a loading factor of >0.4 and 13 factors (dimensions). Each factor had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.628–0.887, while the entire 63 had 0.904 with a total documented cumulative variation of 64.97%. CONCLUSIONS The Indonesian version of the SV-NBJSQ is valid and reliable. Thus, we may use it as a more suitable, updated, and comprehensive tool to evaluate work-related stress among office workers.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is a common cause of intraocular inflammation in Indonesia. As no accurate biomarker can confirm the diagnosis, ophthalmologists often rely on systemic findings, such as tuberculin skin test, interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), and chest X-ray (CXR) for TB suspicion. This study aimed to evaluate IGRA and CXR in classifying intraocular TB among patients with a clinically undifferentiated cause of uveitis. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 116 patients (a total of 163 affected eyes) with a clinically undifferentiated cause of uveitis. IGRA and CXR were performed as part of the workup. Data on visual acuity, anterior chamber inflammation grade, and anatomical classification of uveitis were recorded. As there were no confirmed ocular tuberculosis (OTB) in our cases, eyes were classified into probable OTB, possible OTB, and unclassified. RESULTS Overall, 93 patients (80.2%) with a clinically undifferentiated cause of uveitis had positive IGRA, whereas 10 (8.6%) had CXR results suggestive of TB. More than one-third of the patients were blind (visual acuity <3/60), and panuveitis was the commonest anatomical classification. A trend was identified in patients with panuveitis, who often showed ≥2+ cell anterior chamber inflammation (p for trend = 0.023), according to OTB criteria (probable OTB = 3/4, 75.0%; possible OTB = 44/67, 65.7%; unclassified = 2/9, 22.2%). Furthermore, the clinically undifferentiated uveitis cases were eligible to be stratified into probable (8.6%) and possible (75.0%) OTB categories after IGRA and CXR examinations. CONCLUSIONS The combination of IGRA and CXR is valuable for classifying and diagnosing TB-related uveitis. A multidisciplinary approach is essential when the cause of uveitis is unknown.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a conventional treatment for chronic periodontitis; however, it has limitations in treating deep pockets. To enhance its efficacy, chlorhexidine (CHX) is proposed as adjunctive therapy with SRP due to its broad antimicrobial spectrum, low systemic toxic activity in humans, absence of oral microorganism resistance, and lack of teratogenic effects. This study aimed to know the efficacy of the adjunctive therapy of CHX. METHODS A literature search was conducted using various databases including PubMed, LIVIVO, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines within the last 10 years (2011–2021). Clinical parameters such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), pocket depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded. The risk of bias in the selected studies was assessed using Cochrane Collaboration’s Handbook version 5.2.0. RESULTS Of 368 studies, 10 met the inclusion criteria, with 8 of them having a higher quality. Higher reduction of PI, GI, BI, PD, and CAL were observed in SRP with CHX irrigation compared with SRP alone. CONCLUSIONS Overall, adding CHX to SRP appeared to have additional clinical benefits compared with SRP alone in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
