Abstract

Introduction: Development of medicine in Indonesia goes along with the diseases that emerged from lifestyle. Prevention can be done by implementing clean and healthy life protection (PHBS). One of the diseases that can occur due to lack of PHBS is worm infection. One of the worms that often infects children is Enterobius vermicularis. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between personal hygiene and E. vermicularis infection. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with data taken from 110 children (2-10 years) with parents / guardians at Rumah Susun Penjaringan, North Jakarta. The independent variable of this study is personal hygiene and the dependent variable is E. vermicularis infection in children that uses data from questionnaires and lab exams. Results: The study was attended by 110 respondents. It is found that more than 80% of respondents wash their hands with soap before eating, wash their hands with soap after using the toilet, do not scratch the anus at night, routinely clip nails at least once a week, and use footwear while playing outdoors. More than 90% of respondents change their bed sheets regularly and took a bath twice a day. All respondents bathed using clean water and soap. More than 70% of respondents do not bite their nails, wash their hands after going to play, and consume anthelmintics. More than 50% of respondents do not wear other people's underwear. The results of the laboratory study found no E. vermicularis eggs. Conclusion: There is no infection of E. vermicularis in children age 2 – 10 at Rumah Susun Penjaringan

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue hemorrhagic fever is one of the most common infectious diseases in Indonesia. The vector of this disease is Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti). Dengue hemorrhagic fever can be controlled by a few measures, one of them is using insecticide. However, frequent use of chemical insecticide could lead to resistance and is harmful to non-target organisms. One of the solutions for this problem is the use of bioinsecticide derived from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus or C. citratus) leaves extract. Methods: The design of this study is true experimental post-test only control group. The population used are adult Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. For each experiment, 10 mosquitoes are required and given the extract of C. citratus in 2%, 10%, and 20% concentrations, and negative control respectively.The lethal effect of the extract is observed in 10, 30, 60 minutes and 6, 12, 18, 24 hours. Results: There is a significant difference in the lethal effect of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes with variations in duration of exposure to the C. citratus leaves extract (p = 0.007), but no significant difference with variations in extract concentration given (p = 0.281). Conclusion: C. citratus leaves extract has bioinsecticidal effect on Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. The optimal result of mosquito mortality is achieved by using the extract in 20% concentration with duration of 12 hours.

Abstract

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is a global health problem with the number of sufferers increasing every year. Globally, one-third of heart disease is caused by high cholesterol levels including LDL cholesterol. Overall, hypercholesterolemia is estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths. Green tea and black tea can be alternatives to traditional medicine. Some researches state that tea consumption is good for health. Green tea and black tea can be used as an alternative treatment in reducing LDL cholesterol levels in patients with hyperlipidemia. Method: This study is an in vivo experimental research. This experiment using 16 Rattus norvegicus rats Sprague Dawley strain induced into hyperlipidemia with lard and quail egg yolks before and divided into 2 groups; the green tea group and the black tea group. Interventions carried out for 17 days and checking the blood LDL cholesterol at the beginning and at the end of the intervention using Friedewald’s formula with HDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides numbers from cholesterol test strip and tools from Lipid Pro. Data were collected and analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Wilcoxon Matched-Pair Signed-Ranks Test, Mann-Whitney U Test. Result: The results showed that the data were normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test p>0.05). Intervention with green tea and black tea for 17 days led to a significant drop in LDL cholesterol levels (Wilcoxon Matched-Pair Signed-Ranks Test p<0.05), but there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of the treatment group (Mann-Whitney U Test p>0.05). Conclusion: There were no differences in effectiveness of green tea compared with black tea in lowering LDL cholesterol levels on hyperlipidemic Rattus norvegicus, but both green tea and black tea can lower rats’ total cholesterol levels significantly.

Abstract

Introduction: Deep neck abscess is a pus accumulation in the space and tissue of the cervical fascia caused by an infection and has the potential for several complications. Appropriate use of antibiotics can prevent these complications, but long culture time has been a main concern. Diabetes and oral hygiene are identified as commonly found risk factors for deep neck abscess. This study aims to analyze patients’ characteristics and the usage of antibiotics in treating deep neck abscess patients in Atma Jaya Hospital as well as assessing the effect of diabetes and oral hygiene as the causes for deep neck abscess. Methods: This was a cohort retrospective, descriptive analytic study. The samples were from 23 deep neck abscess patients undergoing treatment in Atma Jaya Hospital and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Chi square and Fisher exact test were used to determine the significance effect of diabetes and higiene oral in relation to deep neck abscess. Results: There were more male patients than female patients with age range 20-30 years old. Streptococcus viridans and Streptococcus pyogenes were the most common bacteria causing deep neck abscesses. Metronidazole, gentamicin and ceftriaxone were the most widely used antibiotics and it had shown great compatibility to fight against germs found in this disease. Statistical test results on the effect of oral hygiene oral to submandibular abscesses, peritonsillar, and Ludwig’s angina were p(AS)=0.605, p(AP)=1.000, and p(LA)=1.000, while of diabetes were p(AS)=0.685, p(AP)=0.657, and p(LA)=1.000. Conclusion: Deep neck abscess tends to occur in male patients of productive age. Metronidazole, gentamicin and ceftriaxone were the recommended empiric antibiotics. There was no significant relationship between oral hygiene and diabetes on the occurrence of deep neck abscesses.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a medical emergency caused by poor or blocked blood flow to the brain resulting in brain damage and death. In the efforts to lower the number of stroke related mortality and encourage a higher quality of public health, knowledge and understanding of the definition, risks, signs and symptoms, and complication associated with stroke must become publicly available and further research should be encouraged. Higher education level and experience are expected to raise awareness of stroke disease. Objective: This study is conducted in order to determine the relationship between education level in correlation to knowledge of stroke at Paris Jaya in 2020. Method: The study is a descriptive analytic with a cross-sectional approach using 165 population of Poris Jaya. Population answered the provided questionnaire about sociodemographic and knowledge of stroke. The data collected was analyzed and scored using the Spearman test to see the correlation between educational level and knowledge while the Chi-square test was used to score the association between experience and knowledge. Result: There was a correlation between education level and knowledge score (p<0,05). There was also association between experience having stroke (p=0,01) and experience taking care stroke patient (p=0,03) with knowledge score. The most common education level that respondents have is graduated from senior high school. The average score of knowledge based on questionnaire was 68,667. Internet mostly used to find further information about this disease. Conclusion: Strong relationship are shown between education level and experience with knowledge of stroke at Poris Jaya in 2020

Abstract

Introduction: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) accounts for the largest proportion of cardiovascular diseases. CHD patients may experience depressive symptoms or major depressive disorder. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) Score has good sensitivity and specificity for patients with CHD. Negative illness perception is significantly associated with more severe levels of depression. The aim of this study is to understand the characteristics of the perception of illness and PHQ-9 scores in patients with CHD at Atma Jaya Hospital, Jakarta. Methods: A cross-sectional research was done on CHD patients in the clinic of Internal Medicine and Cardiac Sub-Specialist clinics, Cosmas outpatient unit in Atma Jaya Hospital over the course of September-October 2015. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and PHQ-9 were used to assess the characteristics of illness perception and determine the level of depression in patients with CHD. Univariate analysis were used to process the data. Results: 42 patients met the inclusion criteria. 62% of subjects had a positive perception of the disease and 38% had a negative perception. The highest average score of B-IPQ was the illness concern. Majority of the subjects 48.8% had minimal depression and none of the subject had severe depression. Conclusion: B-IPQ scores indicated positive illness perception and PHQ-9 shows minimal depression in most of CHD patients

Abstract

Introduction: The number of depressed adolescent and adolescent smoker in Indonesia has increased quite dramatically. The literature suggests that smokers are more likely to be depressed, while depressed people are more likely to smoke. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between depression and smoking among junior high school students in Jakarta. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted at junior high school in Central Jakarta. In total, 407 students, grade 9 to 11 were participated (47.9% males and 52.1% females). Questionnaires on depression and smoking were distributed, including BDI-II questionnaire for depression which had been validated into Indonesian language, and questionnaire for smoking assessed by using single question that classified the respondents’ smoking habit as daily smoker, irregular smoker, former smoker, and nonsmoker. Results: This study revealed a significant association between depression and smoking in junior high school students (p=0.000, OR=2.502). Among 30.2% students who were depressed, 2.5% were daily smokers, 5.4% were irregular smokers, 10.8% were former smokers, and 11.5% were nonsmokers. Conclusion: Depression increases the risk of smoking by 2.5 times in adolescents, suggesting that smoking prevention may need to be combined with depression prevention and treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Plasmodium knowlesi is a malaria agent that initially only infected monkeys, Macaca fascicularis and Macaca nemestrina. P. knowlesi has developed to infect zoonotically by transmitting from animals to humans by the female Anopheles vector. Since the first endemic incidence of knowlesi malaria in 2004 in Sarawak, Malaysia, the number of its infection cases has expanded to almost all regions in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. The P. knowlesi infection cases increase results from complex interactions between humans, agents, and environment. Individual and environmental factors are risk factors for knowlesi malaria. The life cycle of P. knowlesi is concise and tends to infect all erythrocyte types along with other Plasmodium species. The P. knowlesi morphology and clinical features are very similar to the other Plasmodium species, making them difficult to differentiate and contributing to the increase in infection cases. Presently, the knowlesi malaria molecular PCR diagnosis technique is the most accurate method. Immediate treatment is needed to prevent severe malaria and death. Objective: This article aims to study epidemiology, risk factors, life cycle, morphology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and the latest management of knowlesi malaria cases, especially in Indonesia. Method: Writing articles used a literature review method from various literature on knowlesi malaria. Discussion: Knowledge of epidemiology, risk factors, life cycle, morphology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and management of malaria cases can add information to the development of research on the distribution and control of knowlesi malaria. This article can help accelerate the target of malaria elimination in Indonesia by 2030.

Abstract

Introduction: : Practicing hand hygiene is a way to control an infection. The recent COVID-19 pandemic, hand hygiene has become the necessity. Using antiseptic which contain chemical active ingredients causes skin problem. Camellia sinensis is a natural ingredient which its antimicrobial properties is due to the presence of catechin. The study was aimed to determine the effectivity of ethanol extract of Camellia sinensis tea leaves as hand antiseptic. Methods: This research was a comparative experimental analytic to 32 respondents conducted in the Microbiology Laboraroty of Faculty Medicine and Health Sciences–Atma Jaya Jakarta Catholic University of Indonesia. Sampling was carried out by taking bacterial swabs on the right palms. Followed by dilution using serial dilution method and inoculated onto nutrient agar using the spread plate technic. After incubation at 37oC overnight the bacterial colonies were calculated using colony counter within a range of 30-300 colonies per plate. Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney was used for data analysis. Results: The total number of bacterial colonies after sanitizing using 50% ethanol extract of Camellia sinensis tea leaves was reduced by 55.04% (p=0.003). Meanwhile, 70% alcohol curb the bacterial colonies by 76.84% (p=0.000). The comparison of the effectivity of 50% ethanol extract of Camellia sinensistea leaves versus 70% alcohol as hand antiseptic was insignificance (p=0.300). Conclusion: 50% ethanol extract of Camellia sinensis tea leaves showed activity against hand’s microorganisms. However, the percentages of Camellia sinensis extract might be increased so as to achieve the effectivity of 70% alcohol.

Abstract

Introduction: Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) score may give information in cardiovascular risk stratification asymptomatic individuals. Profiles and distribution of CAC scores are still scarce in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of CAC based on age and gender in asymptomatic patients. Methods: Subjects were asymptomatic Asian above 40 years-old undergoing cardiovascular check-up, including Computed Tomography (CT) CAC at Siloam Heart Institute, from April 2018 to August 2019. Data were obtained retrospectively and analyzed statistically with IBM SPSS version 22. Results: A total of 1640 patients were enrolled, with males slightly more than half. The mean age was 55,6 ± 9,6 years, with age group of 50-59 years as the majority (35,9%). Almost half of the subjects had zero CAC score. Around two-thirds of females, particularly below 50 years old, had zero CAC scores. CAC scores >400 were more prevalent in males across all age groups. The majority of healthy males had a CAC score between 0-99. There was a positive correlation between age and CAC scores in both genders. Females with CAC score >400 were found mostly after 70 years old, ten years older than males. CAC score >1000 was more prevalent in older males compared to females. Conclusion: The distribution of CAC score is remarkably affected by age and gender. Zero CAC score is found predominant in our subjects. CAC scores of ≥400 are common in males across all age groups. CAC score >1000 is more exclusively found in the elderly male
