Abstract

Comparison of SOFA scores in septic patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction.  A dysregulated host response to infection causes it. Organ dysfunction can be represented by an increase in the SOFA score of > 2 points. Every increase in the score reflects worsening of organ dysfunction. Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common comorbidities in sepsis patients. T2DM patients have chronic hyperglycemia. This condition can impair immune function and damage the endothelium.  Objective: To find out the comparison of SOFA scores in sepsis patients with and without T2DM. Methods: This research was an analytical, cross-sectional study using medical record data from RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. The 132 samples comprised 66 sepsis patients with T2DM and 66 without T2DM. Sampling was carried out by using a stratified random sampling technique. Bivariate data analysis used an independent-samples t-tes. The mean of SOFA scores in sepsis patients with T2DM was 8.05 +_ 2.36 and the mean of SOFA scores in sepsis patients 6.38 +_ 2.96. The p-value (<0,05) in both groups was 0.001. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in SOFA scores between sepsis patients with and without T2DM. Keywords: sepsis, SOFA score, T2DM

Abstract

Non-pharmacological prevention strategies for allergic rhinitis in addressing the limitations of long-term antihistamine therapy: A systematic review Antihistamine therapy in Allergic rhinitis is generally the primary choice for symptom management. However, long-term use often presents side effects such as sedation, tolerance, and lack of control over allergen exposure. Non-pharmacological preventive strategies are important to explore as complementary and alternative approaches. Objective: To analyze effective non-pharmacological strategies for the prevention of allergic rhinitis. Methods: A literature search was conducted across electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications published between 2015 and 2024. The selected studies included experimental studies, systematic reviews, and clinical guidelines addressing non-pharmacological interventions for allergic rhinitis. The most frequently discussed non-pharmacological strategies included environmental controls (e.g., reducing exposure to dust, mites, and air pollution), nasal saline irrigation, mask use, lifestyle modifications, and patient education. Results: Several interventions have shown significant reductions in symptom scores and improvements in patients' quality of life, especially when combined with pharmacological therapy. Non-pharmacological approaches have significant potential as long-term management strategies for allergic rhinitis. Conclusion: The combination of education, environmental modifications, and physical interventions can reduce symptom frequency and the need for antihistamines. Keywords: allergic rhinitis, antihistamines, environmental modifications, non-pharmacological, prevention

Abstract

The role of oxidative stress in essential hypertension: A systematic review Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. It leads to endothelial dysfunction, reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and increased arterial stiffness, all of which contribute to elevated blood pressure. Objective: To analyze the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. Methods: This study was a literature review conducted by searching PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane databases from 2021 to 2025 using the keywords “Hypertension AND Oxidative Stress AND Correlation.” Of the 2700 identified articles, six studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were analyzed further. Results: All selected studies demonstrated a strong relationship between oxidative stress and hypertension. Increased production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) impairs endothelial function, reduces NO levels, and increases arterial stiffness. Interventions using antioxidants, such as melatonin, and dietary nitrates improved vascular function and oxidative balance. However, the outcomes varied depending on the type and dosage of antioxidants used. Conclusion: Oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of essential hypertension through endothelial damage, vascular dysfunction, and activation of the renin-angiotensin system. Antioxidant-based interventions, particularly melatonin, show promising potential to improve redox balance and reduce blood pressure. Further studies are needed to establish their long-term efficacy and safety. Keywords:  antioxidants, essential hypertension, oxidative stress, melatonin, nitric oxide

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) requires hemodialysis therapy. It obliges patients to undergo complex and lifelong treatments, resulting in physical, psychological, and social limitations. Patients frequently experience depression, either at the time of diagnosis or during the course of therapy. To optimize quality of life and survival, self-management behaviors, such as active participation in self-care, are essential for achieving optimal health and preventing further complications during treatment. Objective: To determine the relationship between depression and self-management behavior among hemodialysis patients at RSD KRMT Wongsonegoro, Semarang city. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 50 hemodialysis patients at RSD KRMT Wongsonegoro, Semarang City, selected using a total sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Hemodialysis Patient Self-Care Measurement Scale. The relationship between variables was analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlation test. Results: The majority of respondents had normal levels of depression (25; 50%), and most had moderate levels of self-management (36; 72%). Spearman’s Rank test showed a significant relationship between depression and self-management among hemodialysis patients at RSD KRMT Wongsonegoro (p = 0.044; r = 0.286), indicating a weak correlation. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between depression and self-management behavior among hemodialysis patients at RSD KRMT Wongsonegoro, Semarang City.

Abstract

Plasmapheresis therapy is one of the treatment modalities for Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, this therapy poses significant challenges, particularly in Indonesia, due to its high cost and complex procedures. Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of GBS patients, assess the indications, effectiveness, safety, and therapeutic responses of plasmapheresis among its variants. Methods: This systematic review was conducted by searching several databases for articles published between January 2020 and May 2025. Based on the established eligibility criteria, 10 articles were included for this review. Results: The majority of GBS patients were male, with a wide age range from 2 to 70 years old, and various GBS types. Most studies have indicated that plasmapheresis therapy significantly improved clinical outcomes in GBS patients, and that it was more effective when administered within 7–10 days of symptom onset. Plasmapheresis was also reported as a relatively safe therapy with tolerable side effects. However, GBS variants and the patient’s initial condition may influence the response to plasmapheresis therapy. Conclusion: Plasmapheresis therapy has been proven to provide meaningful clinical benefits for most GBS patients. Keywords:  efficacy, functional outcomes, Guillain-Barré syndrome, plasmapheresis, safety

Abstract

Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is one of the most common maternal health problems during pregnancy. It contributes substantially to maternal and fetal morbidity. Iron deficiency may impair maternal immune function, thereby increasing susceptibility to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Objective: To evaluate the association between IDA and the risk of UTIs among pregnant women. Methods: This study was developed in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library, targeting studies published between 2015 and 2025 using keywords related to iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy, and urinary tract infection. Article selection involved identification, title and abstract screening, and full-text eligibility assessment according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible studies were analyzed narratively. Results: A total of 742 articles were identified during the initial search process, of which 7 studies met the inclusion criteria for final analysis. Most studies demonstrated that pregnant women with IDA had a higher risk of asymptomatic bacteriuria and UTIs compared with non-anemic pregnant women. Significant associations were reported between low hemoglobin levels and increased maternal UTI incidence. Additional factors influencing the occurrence of UTIs included gestational age, nutritional status, parity, and access to antenatal care services. Conclusion: IDA may increase the risk of UTIs through impaired maternal immune function and physiological alterations of the urinary tract during pregnancy. Keywords: asymptomatic bacteriuria, iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy, pregnant women, urinary tract infection

Abstract

Smoking is a lifestyle risk factor that disrupts ocular surface homeostasis through toxic exposure to the tear film and systemic effects on lacrimal gland function. Objective: To determine the association between smoking intensity and dry eye syndrome among young adult male active smokers. Methods: This analytic observational study employed a cross-sectional design and enrolled 65 subjects (130 eyes) from 297 male students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Sultan Agung. Smoking intensity was categorized into mild, moderate, and heavy. Clinical evaluation included the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT) test, and Schirmer I test. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and Somers’d coefficient (p < 0.05). Results: The mean subject age was 20.02 ± 1.36 years. Dry eye syndrome affected 81 eyes (62.3%). A significant association was found between smoking intensity and dry eye syndrome (p < 0.001), with a moderate strength of association (d = 0.490). Dry eye occurrence increased with smoking intensity: 36.7% in the mild group, 83.3% in the moderate group, and 86.4% in the heavy group. Conclusion: Smoking intensity is significantly associated with dry eye syndrome among young adult male active smokers. Ocular surface disruption was found to worsen as smoking intensity increased. Practitioners should conduct routine screening and provide smoking cessation education from a young age. Comprehensive prevention is warranted, considering the mild group already exhibits a high incidence of dry eye. Keywords:  active smokers, dry eye syndrome, ocular surface, risk factor, smoking intensity
