Abstract

Fast food is high in calories and fat. Consuming fast food excessively can cause various health problems, including obesity. This study aims to determine the factors related to the behavior of fast food consumption in adolescents at SMA Negeri 30 Jakarta in 2022. The research design was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection in this study was carried out in April - May 2022 with a population of 884. A total of 200 respondents as samples were collected and processed using the Quota Sampling sampling technique. This research employs univariate,  bivariate, and Chi-Square test analysis methods. The results of the univariate analysis of most categories showed that adolescents often consumed fast food (51%), female gender (59.5%), had good knowledge (65%), had a positive attitude (59%), had a positive body image (56%), has high pocket money (66.5%), is not affected by social media (68.5%), not affected by peers (78%) and unaffected by promotion (65%). The bivariate analysis showed a relationship between knowledge (p-value= 0.000; PR= 2.566; 95% CI= 1.661-3.963), body image (p-value= 0.035; PR= 1.381; 95% CI= 1.042-1.830) , pocket money (p-value= 0.046; PR= 1.369; 95% CI= 1.039-1.804), and the influence of promotion (p-value = 0.009; PR= 1.572; 95% CI= 1.109-2.229) on fast food consumption behavior.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has put intense pressure on the healthcare systems. As the lung complication of COVID-19, pneumonia can be assessed by chest radiography which can be used to predict the severity of patient deterioration using Brixia and RALE scores. This research aims to assess the Radiologists' agreement on diagnosing pneumonia COVID-19 by RT-PCR in CXR using the Brixia and RALE score at Dr. Sardjito Central General Hospital from May 2020-January 2021. Two separate radiologists scored initial chest radiographs for RALE and Brixia independently. The analysis assessed included a descriptive analysis of demographic data, and Bland-Altman plots were used to visualize intra-observer agreement. A total of 332 samples were 162 men (48.8%) and 170 women (51.2%), with a mean age of 42.37. The ICC of Brixia score (0.855, CI:0.794-0.895) and RALE score (0.756, CI:0.662-0.812). Bland–Altman analysis revealed a bias of 5.08 ± 6.04 (95% limits   of agreement of -6.760 and 16.929) for Brixia and RALE scores and significantly correlated (r=0.886 (p0.05)). The average score of Brixia (6.29±4.430) and RALE (11.56±9.997) in men was higher than in women. The agreement of Radiologists in diagnosing pneumonia COVID-19 using Brixia and RALE scores with the Bland Altman curve was significant or reliable.

Abstract

Bitewing radiography is a valuable tool in detecting and monitoring dental decay and other oral health problems and is typically performed as part of a routine dental examination. It has certain limitations that should be considered. Some of these limitations may cause discomfort or pain to the patient if not positioned correctly. Some patients may find biting down on the film holder difficult or have a strong gag reflex, making the procedure uncomfortable or even impossible. Bitewing radiography can be costly, especially if it needs to be performed regularly, which may limit access to this diagnostic tool for some patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a dental X-ray positioner with a silicone layer on the quality of radiographic images in posterior bitewing dental examinations. Using this positioner was expected to improve the precision of radiographic interpretation and subsequent patient treatment. The study used a multivariate general linear model to analyze the data obtained from radiographic images using the X-ray positioner with the silicone layer and the conventional X-ray positioner. The results showed no significant difference in image quality between the two positioners, indicating that adding the silicone layer did not significantly improve image quality. However, using any X-ray positioner is still beneficial in ensuring accurate radiographic interpretation and subsequent patient treatment.

Abstract

The practical and efficient prevention of the transmission of COVID-19 infection is through vaccination. However, there are challenges associated with refusing or postponing vaccination due to skepticism regarding the efficacy and safety of vaccines, particularly among pregnant women. The risk factors of pregnant women tend to make this vulnerable group reluctant to uptake the vaccines. Motivation influences personal hesitancy in deciding, especially regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, this study investigated the correlation between motivation and hesitancy related to COVID-19 vaccines in expectant mothers at the Bening Nawangsari Midwife Clinic, Bekasi City. In this cross-sectional study, as many as 301 pregnant mothers were chosen using the consecutive sampling method. The Motivations of Vaccination Questionnaire and The Reasons for Hesitation Questionnaire were employed when collecting the data. After calculating the data with the Chi-Square test, a significant relationship between motivation and vaccine hesitancy was revealed (p-value= 0.001). It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between expectant mothers' motivation and hesitation to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Abstract

Depression is estimated to be experienced by 12 million young adults. In 2021, the prevalence of depression among the people was estimated to be about 20% due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of social media can be a trigger for depression and anxiety, especially among young people who are very closely related to social media. In addition, other factors can contribute to depression and anxiety, such as working status, age, married status, and gender. Aim of study is to find factors that influence depression and anxiety in young adults. This study used a quantitative analytic observational approach with a cross-sectional which was carried out in September-October 2022. It involved 285 young adult respondents aged 18-25 years who had lived at least 1 year in a metropolitan area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi). This study showed that depression (66.4%) and anxiety (73.3%) are quite high in young adults. Working status is significantly associated with depression (p=0.0001) and anxiety (p=0.0001). Similarly, duration of social media use is significantly associated with depression (p0.001) and anxiety (p=0.026). However, gender, age, and marital status are not associated with depression and anxiety.

Abstract

Obesity triggers the risk of degenerative diseases. An unhealthy diet and insufficient physical activity have been contributing to the rapid increase in obesity prevalence. This study aims at determining the differences in the risk of degenerative diseases based on energy consumption and exercise habits of City Disaster Management Board/DMB members, especially in Denpasar City. This research is an observational study, targeting all members of Denpasar DMB as a population. Samples were taken purposively with a total of 126 people. The risk difference was tested using chi-square, and the estimated risk of degenerative diseases was analyzed using the Mantel-Haentzel odds ratio. The risk of degenerative diseases based on energy consumption shows a significant risk only in the group of people who did not have exercise habits (Q-suare=4.53; p=0.03), with an estimated risk that is also significant (OR=2.48; 95% CI= 1.07 - 5.74). The estimated risk results indicated that exercise habit is a potential confounding variable in the risk of degenerative diseases based on energy consumption. Lowering energy consumption is not effective enough to prevent the increase of degenerative disease risk, and prevention of new risks of degenerative diseases must include regular exercise.

Abstract

As a procedure to obtain information with bodily fluid samples, a laboratory test is complementary to a diagnostic assessment. One parameter of laboratory tests is hematology, for which a blood profile is used to evaluate clinical conditions and provide diagnostic information about hematological abnormalities, prognosis, and response treatment. Nowadays, accessibility to laboratory tests has been made easier with medical checkups integrated into the Occupational Health and Safety program, which a company is obliged to have to check on its employees’ health status. Our study analyzed the results of fasting blood tests on the employees of The College of Health Sciences of Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiyyah Cilacap. This College is known for the practice of Islamic and religious values, including fasting, among its employees. Taking the employees as a population and samples, the research included variables of levels of erythrocytes, leukocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit in the descriptive analysis method. We gained eleven respondents, 8 males, and 3 females, and used a cluster sampling method with appropriate criteria. The data of obtained samples were analyzed and processed based on the interpretation of the results. The results of routine blood examinations on fasting showed 90.90% normal hemoglobin levels and 72.70% normal hematocrit levels. Conclusively, our results of the blood profile examination on hemoglobin and hematocrit in fasting people showed that fasting is metabolically healthy and produces no indication of anemia.

Abstract

Work fatigue is a work-related tiredness that can become severe, inflict sleeping problems, and even threaten workers’ lives. The International Labor Organization (ILO) recorded annual deaths of approximately two million workers due to fatigue-induced accidents. The authors studied the factors promoting work fatigue in workers at PT. Distribusi Energi Mandiri (DEM) using an analytic survey method. This involved the entire workers as the study population and a questionnaire as the data collection method. In our findings, the chi-square test analysis revealed that work duration (p= 0.718 ( 0.05)), age (p= 1.000 ( 0.05)), and work posture (p= 0.176 ( 0.05)) have no relationships with work fatigue, but not with workload (p= 0.003 ( 0.05)). We, therefore, suggested that the management of PT. DEM continues and maintains the ongoing work duration, but provides assistive devices to workers with excessive workloads. In addition, it is necessary to supervise them to change body positions, stretch up and rest periodically during work. We advised workers to take proper breathing and intake, along with paying attention to occupational health and safety.

Abstract

Meningiomas commonly manifest as granulations, dense clusters exhibiting hyperintense signals on the meningeal layers and close to cranial nerves. Detailed and isotropic imaging are key in the diagnostic evaluation. Nevertheless, standard MRI sequences have been inadequate in capturing these granulations, incorporating the T2 3D CISS axial sequence for improved visualization. Our case study aims to meticulously evaluate the diagnostic imaging strategies used for meningioma cases, explicitly focusing on cranial nerve imaging. The MRI protocol encompassed axial, coronal, and sagittal T2_TSE and DWI sequences and post-contrast T1-weighted imaging. A detailed calibration of the 3D CISS sequence parameters was performed to enhance the imaging of cranial nerves affected by the suspected meningioma. Our findings highlight the necessity of a meticulous MRI protocol, which includes precise imaging sequences, to evaluate meningiomas effectively, particularly for assessing the potential involvement of the cranial nerves.

Abstract

Physiological changes in the elderly occur related to skeletal muscle changes and are related to the balance of the fall risk assessment. Therefore, researchers provide Square Stepping, Gaze stabilization, and Core stability exercise interventions to improve dynamic balance. Square stepping exercise is an exercise to improve lower extremity functional fitness. Gaze Stabilization is an exercise to improve balance by way of cooperation between the vestibular system and the visual system. While Core Stability is a special exercise intended to help improve abdominal and lumbo pelvic muscles in trunk stability. The purpose of the study was to determine the difference in the effect between the combination of Square stepping and Gaze stabilization exercise with Square stepping and Core stability exercise on improving dynamic balance in the elderly. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi experimental type of research. The sample amounted to 30 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. Measurement of dynamic balance using TUGT. The Square Stepping intervention was carried out 3 times a week for 4 weeks, Gaze Stabilisation was carried out 3 times a week for 4 weeks and Core Stability was carried out 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Based on the Mann-Whitney Test using the TUGT measurement instrument, a significance value of 0.034 (p 0.05) was obtained. The results of this study indicate that there is a difference in the effect between giving square stepping and gaze stabilization with square stepping and core stability exercise on improving dynamic balance in the elderly.
