Abstract

The displacement of otoliths into the semicircular canals causes the most common type of peripheral vertigo, known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This condition can disrupt balance and increase the risk of falls, especially when the head position changes suddenly. The purpose of this case report is to determine how effective the combination of Brandt-Daroff exercises and hydrotherapy is in improving balance in BPPV patients. A 69-year-old woman with vertigo underwent the Dix-Hallpike maneuver and an intervention consisting of Brandt-Daroff exercises and hydrotherapy twice weekly under supervision for six weeks. Balance evaluation was conducted before and after therapy using the M-CTSIB (for static balance) and TUG-T (for dynamic balance). Following the intervention, the TUG-T score decreased from 21.5 to 18, indicating improved mobility and patient response. The M-CTSIB score also increased significantly, particularly for eyes closed and unstable surfaces, from 15 to 22. Conditions without visual support also improved, indicating good vestibular adaptation. Patients reported no longer experiencing vertigo when changing positions and being able to engage in activities without fear of falling. These results suggest that Brandt-Daroff exercises and hydrotherapy can serve as non-pharmacological methods to improve balance and quality of life for patients with BPPV.

Abstract

Skin cancer is the one of leading causes of illness and death worldwide.  The World Health Organization (WHO) state that ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause cancer because it damages cells and triggers tumour growth.  Bangkal plants (Nauclea subdita (Korth) Steud) which grows widely in South Kalimantan, contain antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenolics, saponins and tannins. These compounds, found in the plant’s fruit and leaves, make Bangkal extract a potential natural sunscreen. This article aims to determine the antioxidant potential of the fruit and leaf extract through scavenging hydrogen peroxide, scavenging hydroxyl radicals and chelating metals activity tests and discover the sunscreen ability based on the sun protection factor (SPF). The extracts were tested at concentrations of 2.5, 5 , 10, 25 and 50 ppm. The study results show that the fruit extract exhibited the most substantial antioxidant activity potential in metal chelating and hydroxyl radical scavenging. Conversely, the bangkal leaf extract demonstrated greater activity in  hydrogen peroxide scavenging than in chelating metal and hydroxyl radical scavenging.   Based on the SPF value, bangkal leaf extract has greater sunscreen activity than the  fruit extract, indicating its stronger potential for development into a sunscreen formula to help prevent skin cancer.

Abstract

Predicting mortality in critically ill patients is a key challenge in intensive care units (ICUs), and scoring systems such as SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) and APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) are commonly used to estimate prognosis. This systematic review aimed to assess how accurately these two scoring systems predict ICU survival outcomes. The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024600239). Relevant studies published from 2014 to 2024 were identified through a comprehensive search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, ProQuest, and the Cochrane Library. After screening 1,427 studies, 25 peer-reviewed articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The results consistently demonstrated that higher SOFA and APACHE II scores were significantly associated with increased mortality rates and prolonged ICU stays. The APACHE II score thresholds varied from 13 to 18.5, while SOFA score cutoffs ranged from 4.5 to 9. Several studies suggested that combining both scoring systems may enhance prognostic accuracy and inform clinical decision-making more effectively than either system alone. In conclusion, both SOFA and APACHE II scores are valid and dependable predictors of ICU mortality. Their combined use may improve risk stratification, support timely interventions, and optimize outcomes in critical care practice.

Abstract

In 2023 and 2024 Jember Regency had the highest maternal mortality rate (MMR) in East Java. Preeclampsia (PE), a form of hypertension during pregnancy, is the second leading cause of MMR after postpartum hemorrhage. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors and quality of antenatal care (ANC) for pregnant women with preeclampsia at the Ajung Community Health Center in Jember Regency. The study employed a retrospective cohort design. The study sample consisted of 55 pregnant women with preeclampsia from the Ajung Community Health Center between 2020 and May 2025. . A two-sample independent t-test was used to analyze differences in risk factors among women with preeclampsia statistically. An ordinal regression test determined the relationship between preeclampsia risk factors and ANC quality. The results revealed 49 cases of preeclampsia occurring at or after 34 weeks of gestation and six cases occurring before 34 weeks. A significant difference was found in maternal age as a risk factor for preeclampsia. Most of the ANC quality in the study sample was very poor (62.5%), with maternal age and mean arterial pressure (MAP) being the main influencing factors. Age-related risk factors differed among pregnant women with preeclampsia and a relationship was found between maternal age, MAP, and ANC quality.
