Abstract

Previous Research showed that having multiple sex partners was a risk-taking behavior that caused the susceptibility of getting STD and HIV/AIDS among female sellers in the market. However, this high-risk behavioral pattern has not been explained. The aim of this study was to understand the pattern of risky sexual behavior and the pattern of prevention of STD and HIV/AIDS among female sellers. This study was conducted by qualitative method, and the respondents were chosen by purposive sampling method. Twenty female sellers in Sindhu Market aged 18 to 45 years old who were sexually active agreed to be the key informants for this study. Data on risky sexual behaviours and pattern of prevention of STD and HIV/AIDS were collected by in-depth interview and were analysed thematically. Results showed thath 7 out of 20 female sellers conducted risky sexual behavior by doing premarital sex and having multiple sex partners without using condom. Most of the informants used vaginal wash and betel soap to prevent STD and HIV/AIDS, and some even checked themselves to the health center for medication.

Aerobic exercise is currently the safest sport for both young and old people. This is because aerobic training provides tiered and targeted training and acts specifically on several muscles. The general purpose of aerobic exercise isto train the body to exercise without stress and excessive psychological disturbances. Then, aerobic exercise is also done in stages such as stretching, strength, and balance of various types of muscle and joint flexibility exercises. This is very useful for the elderly to avoid injury during aerobic training and is able to reduce the psychological disorders that are often experienced by the elderly. In this review, we conclude that aerobic exercise can have a good impact especially on stress levels on quality of life in the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major health problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. The study of HBV genotypes is important to find out the diversity of HBV genotypes related to the severity of the disease, response to therapy, and clinical symptoms. Objective: This study was aimed to detect HBV genotypes in patients at Hepatology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Methods: This study was conducted on new patients at Hepatology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya in one month. Nested PCR was performed by targetting HBV surface genes. Samples with positive HBV DNA were sequenced and analysed further. Results: In this study, a total of 27 samples were obtained. The prevalence of HBV infection shown by positive HBsAg in patients with symptoms of liver disease was 55.55% (15/27 patients). Based on the results of electrophoresis from PCR products, positive HBV DNA was obtained in these 15 patients (100%). After sequencing samples with positive HBV DNA, genotype B of Indonesian strain was found to be predominant genotype (100%). Subgenotype analysis showed that 7/15 samples had B3 subgenotype (46.67%). Conclusion: In patients at Hepatology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, the prevalence of HBV infection was high (55.55%) and genotype B was predominant. In Surabaya, HBV genotype infection still remained like the previous pattern, although in Indonesia there have been many inter-island and ethnic migration. Further similar studies are needed to obtain the diversity of other HBV genotypes.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by lacking production of insulin and impaired insulin sensitivity. Despite the availability of antidiabetic drugs on the market, exploration of new therapeutic drugs for treating T2D from nature remains necessary. This review provides insights on the potential of helminths and helminth derived products to modulate immune response for treating T2D. We discussed several helminths that are under investigation in animal models for treating T2D namely Schistosoma mansoni, Nippostrongylus brasiliens, Litomosoides sigmodontis, and Strongyloides stercoralis. Finally, application of Schistosoma mansoni soluble egg antigens (SEA) in T2D treatment is also examined.

Abstract

Medical students beside they are as a member of the medical rescuer, the team is also to have good physical fitness due to consider that Indonesia involves a disaster drawn area. The study was conducted on a member of Tim Bantuan Medis (Medical Rescuer Team) of FKIK Warmadewa University. This simple random sampling was carried out to choose the sample. The data was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test to find out the correlation between body composition and physical fitness. The result from body composition showed that the highest percentage is in the average category (40.7%) and the smallest percentage is in the fair category (3.35%). Whereas the level of physical fitness that assessed through muscle endurance and cardio-respiratory endurance show a level in the poor as follow 38,5% and 85,7%. The conclusion is a significant correlation (relatively strong)between body composition and physical fitness (muscle endurance and cardio-respiratory endurance ) (r=0.30 dan r=0.18)

Abstract

Hypertension is still a health problem globally. Several studies have been conducted to find the relationship between risk factors with the incidence of hypertension. There is no data yet on risk factors for hypertension in the community, especially in Karangasem Regency, Bali. This study aims to find the correlation of various risk factors with the incidence of hypertension in Karangasem Regency, Bali. A case-control studies was conducted on 100 subjects. Cases and controls were selected using consecutive sampling technique. Logistic regression was used to predict various risk factors for hypertension. The results showed a significant relationship with age (OR = 2,452; p = 0.047; 95% CI = 0.999-6.018), family history (OR = 4,373; p = 0.001; 95% CI = 1,854-10,316), BMI (OR = 3,341; p = 0.004; 95% CI = 1,440-7,753), smoking (OR = 2,698; p = 0.021; 95% CI = 1,148-6,341), high salt consumption (OR = 2,571; p = 0.024; 95% CI = 1,122 -5,895) and coffee consumption (OR = 3,451; p = 0.016; 95% CI = 1,220-9,759), while no significant relationship was found between sexes (OR = 0.712; p = 0.476; 95% CI = 0.279 - 1,818), and alcohol consumption (OR = 0.786; p = 0.548; 95% CI = 0.358-1.725). We found an association between several risk factors (age, family history, BMI, smoking, high salt consumption, and coffee consumption) and the incidence of hypertension in the Karangasem Village, Karangasem Regency, Bali.

Abstract

Beratan Lake is one of the lake in Bali which serves as place for agriculture, aquaculture, as well as tourism and recreational attractions. The growing number of facilities around the lake potentially increases the number of waste discharge to the lake as most of the industry do not equipped with necessary waste management plant. The aim of this study is to assess the water quality in Beratan Lake and later be used to improve the water management. Method: Five stations for water sampling were purposively chosen as representation of each side of the lake. The coordinate locations were recorded by Epicollect. Nine water quality parameters were measured for each water samples from each station: temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), phosphate, nitrate, turbidity, and fecal coliform. The water quality were calculated based on National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NSFWQI). Result: NSFWQI for water of Beratan Lake was 78 which indicates good quality. Although this result has been satisfying, fecal coliform and pH showed score lower than 55, thus, the two parameters need to be modified to improve water quality for further use.

Abstract

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a tachydysrhythmia that is often found in pediatric patients which requires treatment. In contrast to sinus tachycardia, SVT is not a normal compensatory response to physiologi-cal stress. This article discusses the case of supraventricular tachycardia in a 16-year-old boy, which appear during strenuous exercise. In this case a guide was also provided in identifying SVT, excluding the differential diagnosis for narrow complex tachycardia, followed by guidelines for the management of pediatric tachycardia based on the Pediatric Advanced Life Support algorithm.
