Abstract

Acupressure lowers the blood glucose level through a massage at the point of the meridian, which can trigger the calming and uplifting response in the body, having a positive effect on emotions, and causing relaxation and normalizing the body functions. However, the great influence of acupressure in the Prolanis Program has not been seen. This study aims to analyze the effect of acupressure therapy against blood glucose levels in patients of diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, who joined a program of chronic diseases management called Prolanis Program. With quasi-experiment research design, the study was conducted at the Clinic of Ambalawi, Bima District-Indonesia. As many as 34 patients with DM type 2 who have joined the Prolanis Program were selected as participants in this study, using a purposive sampling method. These participants were divided into two groups: experiment group and control group. Acupressure therapy was given 3 times during 3 weeks. Each group was measured for blood glucose levels on day 6, day 12, and day 18. The data were analyzed using t-test (p= 0.05). Giving therapy for three weeks to people with diabetes mellitus type 2 has a positive effect on lowering their blood sugar levels. Acupressure therapy and Prolanis Program for 3 weeks effecttively lowered the blood glucose levels in patients of type 2 of DM. Acupressure therapy has a more significant effect with p value < 0.005. There are significant differences between the experiment group and the control group by p value (p = 0.00).

Abstract

The proportion of elderly population in Tulikup Village, Gianyar Regency is 0.72%. One of the potential disease affecting this aging population is osteoporosis. Morbidity of osteoporosis could impose future burden to community and government in term of medical, social and financial implications. The present study determined prevalence and risk factors of osteoporosis to provide solid basis for the development of screening model. Cross sectional study was conducted and 221 of 649 people aged ≥45 were randomly sampled by multi-stage random sampling method. Examined variables were osteoporosis treated as dependent variable and several independent variables: age groups, gender, personal history of fracture, dietary calcium intake, physical activity, alcohol & phosphorus intake, body mass index (BMI), parental history of fracture, diabetes mellitus, and smoking habit. Data was analyzed statistically by univariate, bivariate (chi square), and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis. The prevalence of osteoporosis in eldery was 28.1% (26.0% in women and 30.6% in men) and the rest was osteopenia (54.3%). Multivariate analysis showed that prevalence ratio (PR) of osteoporosis in relation to obesity, elderly group, post elderly group, and vigorous physical activity were 0.3 (CI 95%: 0.1-0.9), 4.5 (CI 95%: 1.4-1.9), 6.2 (CI 95%: 1.8-20.9), and 0.5 (CI 95%: 0.2-0.9), respectively. In general, obesity and vigorous physical activity significantly decreased the risk of osteoporosis. Obesity decreased the risk of having osteoporosis by 70% and vigorous physical activity deceased the risk of osteoporosis by 50% . Being elderly and post elderly increased the risk of having osteoporosis significantly. Elderly group was 4.5 times more likely to have osteoporosis, furthermore post elderly group increased the risk of by 6.2 times.

Abstract

Abstract Each adolescent will experience changes related to reproductive health problems. The growth and sexual maturity drive happens earlier in women rather than in men. KPAI survey data in 2017 states that 97% of adolescents in Indonesia have watched pornographic films and 93.7% have ever done kissing, petting, and oral sex. Malang City Health Office noted in 2014, 139 teenagers aged less than 18 years have been pregnant and increased to 176 cases in 2015. This condition implies that adolescent in Malang city has a big risk of experiencing morbidity and mortality related to the condition of maternal pathology. Following this kind of problem, BKKBN established the Reproductive Health Information and Counselling Program (PIK-KRR) as a platform for young people to prepare for a family life. Through that program, each adolescent female will receive support to understand the substance of pregnancy planning, which includes the physical, psycho-social, and social economy aspects. The main objective is that each adolescent female will postpone the age of marriage and pregnancy before they are able to fulfill those essential aspects. The aim of this research is to understand the role of the Reproductive Health Information and Counselling Program in its relation to the knowledge and the attitude of adolescent females towards pregnancy planning in Malang city. This research applies the comparative observational design by using a proportional sampling technique for 350 students of selected high schools who provide such program and 350 students of selected high schools who do not provide such program. The instrument used for data collection is the questionnaire that has gone through validity and reliability tests. The research data are then analyzed and interpreted by SPSS window release computer program version 23. The results of the knowledge scoring with the category of lack of knowledge in the high school without PIK-KRR group showed the biggest difference compared to that of in the high school group with PIK-KRR. This proves that PIK-KRR contributes meaningfully to the knowledge of high school students. Likewise in the high school groups that have the PIK-KRR, the category of female students with a positive attitude is greater than that of high schools that do not have PIK-KRR. This proves that the presence of PIK-KRR has a significant influence on attitudes in pregnancy planning in adolescents in Malang City. This study shows that there is a significant difference in knowledge and attitude (p=0,00

Abstract

Major depressive disorder (MDD) contributes significantly to morbidity, disability, and decreased quality of life, despite the expansion of treatment options. This, in part, is caused by a lack of valid, applicable, and reliable biomarkers to predict the risk, treatment response, and prognosis of depression. In recent years, the anterior cingulate cortex, in particular pars subgenual (sgACC), has received much attention due to its potential utilization as a neural endophenotype for depression. This essay will discuss the functional activity of sgACC, mostly by functional magnetic resonance imaging, in relation to predicting risk for developing depression, predicting patient response-to-treatment, and eventually, to create a platform for personalized psychiatric approach to each patient. The caveats and conditions need to be met will also be discussed, in order to firmly establish sgACC activity as a valid biomarker for depression.

Abstract

Dengue virus infection is still one of the health problems in tropical and subtropical regions. In its pathogenesis, some cytokines play an important role in the natural and adaptive immune response to the severity of dengue virus infection. Replication of dengue virus that activates macrophages will release cytokines for tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-12 (IL-12). This study aims to determine whether there are differences in mean TNF-α levels in DD and DHF patients. This study was an analytic observational study using cross sectional design, where blood samples were taken from 27 people with DD and 27 people with DHF. Serum TNF-α levels were analyzed by ELISA and TNF-α levels were analyzed statistically by Mann-Whitney test. The results showed the mean TNF-α level in DD patients was 76.82 ± 1.20 pg / mL and in DHF patients was 195.15 ± 30.30 pg / mL. This mean differed significantly (p
