Abstract

Stress induced by sleep deprivation can increase inflammation and oxidative stress, destroying the pyramidal and neuroglia cells in the prefrontal cerebral cortex and interrupting cognitive and behavioral functions. This study aims to observe the difference in the number of pyramidal and neuroglia cells in the prefrontal cortex of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) after stress induction by paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) and total sleep deprivation (TSD). This study was conducted in the Anatomy Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman, from November 2019 to February 2020. The method of this study was a posttest-only design with a control group approach using ten rats for each group; that was control (K.I.), PSD (KII), and TSD (K.I.). PSD and TSD groups received sleep deprivation treatment for eight days for 20 hours/day and 24 hours/day, respectively. The mean pyramidal cell number decreased in the PSD (66.67±24.55) and TSD (65.90±34.91) compared to the control (77.10±26.11) group, but no significant differences were found between all groups (p>0.05). The mean neuroglial cell number was lower in the PSD (97.78±28.17) and TSD (75.80±22.39) compared to the control (126.00±48.81). Post-hoc Bonferroni test showed a significant difference between control and TSD (p<0.05) but not between control and PSD or PSD and TSD (p>0.05). In conclusion, there was a significant difference in the number of neuroglial cells but not pyramidal cells in the prefrontal cortex of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) after stress induction with total sleep deprivation (TSD).

Abstract

Compared with biomedicine held by medical experts, perspectives on acupuncture may impact how the general populace uses acupuncture. Therefore, research on the opinions of medical professionals regarding acupuncture therapy is crucial. This cross-sectional study was conducted from July to September 2022 using a questionnaire. The study participants are doctors and nurses from three clinics in Bali province who had at least one year of working experience and were willing to be research respondents. Descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression are used to determine the participants' perceptions and predictors of their perception. Of 155 participants, the majority (64%) have a positive perception of acupuncture compared with biomedicine. Participants with prior acupuncture usage were 9.01 times more likely than those without previous acupuncture use to have positive perceptions of acupuncture compared to biomedicine (Adj OR=9.01; 95% CI; p=0.001). The results of this study show that acupuncture is seen positively by health practitioners as an effective modality, has few side effects, and is supported by science. Health practitioners' perceptions are affected by their prior acupuncture experience. It is crucial to understand how medical professionals feel about acupuncture. Medical professionals' opinion impacts every patient's decision to seek therapy because one of their duties as specialists is to offer patients clinical judgment, information, and suggestions.

Abstract

Health risk behavior emerges due to risk factors within adolescents, family factors, and external factors outside the family. Poor knowledge about risk behavior and parental control may cause adolescents to develop risky behaviors that affect their health. This study aimed to identify the relationship between family factors and knowledge of adolescent risk behavior. It is a cross-sectional study conducted on 271 adolescents aged 17–25 years in Central Java from April to November 2021, taken by random sampling. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a meaning level of 95%. Results show no relationship between knowledge level and adolescent risk behavior (p=0.665), and there was a relationship between family rules and adolescent risk behavior (p=0.001). Family rules significantly prevent adolescent risk behavior; hence, parents must apply family rules to limit teenage behavior, especially in opposite-sex relationships, to avoid sexual risk behavior.

Abstract

Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Accurate and prompt diagnosis is essential for effective case management, predicting disease prognosis, preventing complications, and ensuring cost-effective medical intervention. This study aimed to assess the variety of clinical symptoms exhibited by pediatric diphtheria cases during an outbreak. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the medical records of pediatric diphtheria cases at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital from November 1, 2017, to February 28, 2018. The study involved 202 cases, and statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Out of the 202 cases, 58.4% were male. Age distribution was <1 year: 7.4%, 1–2 years: 3.5%, >2–5 years: 24.8%, >5–12 years: 45.5%, and >12 years: 18.8%. Anamnestic findings revealed the presence of fever in 88.1% of patients, pain upon swallowing in 73.3%, and cough in 55.4%. Clinically, every patient exhibited pseudomembrane formations. Other findings included bilateral tonsillar involvement in 53%, lymphadenopathy in 40.1%, bullneck in 17.8%, and snoring in 7.9%. Four significant variables were associated with the diphtheria diagnosis: fever, snoring, bullneck, and snoring (p<0.05) respectively. Clinical signs and symptoms are pivotal in establishing a diphtheria diagnosis in pediatric cases.

Abstract

Asthma has a high prevalence in Indonesia. Good self-management is necessary for therapy and greatly affects the level of asthma control symptoms. The patient's perception plays an important role in the success of asthma therapy, especially among students, because education affects a person's mindset and perception of disease conditions. The purpose was to determine the relationship between illness perception and control of asthma symptoms in adolescents. The method was cross-sectional and was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020. The variables were asthma control and illness perception. This research was conducted on a campus in Surabaya city. Respondents were asked to fill out the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) and asthma control test (ACT) questionnaire and analyze by calculating each answer point. This study used a chi-square test to analyze the relationship between ACT and Illness perception. This study involved 75 respondents. Of most of the respondents, 58 people have their asthma partially controlled. Most respondents experienced shortness of breath and wheezing symptoms, and most understood that they were related to their asthma. There was a relationship between asthma control scores and illness perception (p>0.05) on the timeline (p=0.03), personal control (p=0.03), and causal representation (p=0.01). Illness perception can affect asthma symptoms. Asthma will be experienced for a long time, and respondents will better adjust their lifestyle and have confidence that it was controlled. Material factors were also considered. If their asthma was controlled, it was hoped not to affect their finances.

Abstract

One of the social problems solving the direct impact on the community is overcoming household food security due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze household food security during the COVID-19 pandemic and link it to the nutrient intake and nutritional status of children under five in the Kupang district area. This cross-sectional study is based on a survey conducted on the Timorese population in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from May to October 2021. Data on household dietary diversity was collected through the 24-hour food recall using the household dietary diversity score (HDDS). The study sample was taken from Timorese population families with toddlers under five years, and 1,444 families voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects were taken at each public health using a simple random method. This study analyzes the Spearman correlation test with the HDDS and the proportion of food expenditure. A 63% of households had a balance of less cost (<50%) with an average of 63.9. Generally, households (90.4%) had a pretty good diet diversity score. Food groups that were relatively highly consumed by most households included cereals (100%), sugar and sweeteners (90.2%), oils and fats (93.7%), seasonings, and spices (89.4%). A significant effect with p<0.05 was on HDDS during the COVID-19 pandemic. The food consumption score is another indicator widely used in determining household food security. Therefore, it is necessary to revalidate tests in further studies of these indicators.

Abstract

Executive function is a crucial cognitive domain that can be adversely affected by various toxic substances, including the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate. Although it's known that indoxyl sulfate has harmful effects on intra or extra-kidney organs, its impact on executive function remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate indoxyl sulfate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis and to understand its correlation with executive function impairments. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang Hemodialysis Unit from March to July 2022; 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis and 20 healthy controls participated. Executive function was assessed using the Trail Making Test B (TMT-B). Indoxyl sulfate levels were quantified using an ELISA assay with the Assay Genie kit. The Mann-Whitney test set statistical significance at a p<0.05. The average age of the subjects was 51.4±11.4 years, with 53% being male. The mean indoxyl sulfate levels were considerably higher in the CKD group (118.79 ng/ml, range: 11–1,709 ng/ml) compared to the control group (6.028±1.829 ng/ml), with a significant difference (p<0.001). Impaired executive function was observed in 75% of the CKD patients. The average indoxyl sulfate level was 165.12 ng/ml (range: 29–1,709 ng/mL) in the impaired executive function group and 71.22 ng/ml (range: 11–333 ng/mL) in the group with normal executive function, indicating a significant difference (p=0.013). Patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis exhibit elevated serum indoxyl sulfate levels compared to healthy individuals. Moreover, CKD patients with impaired executive function have notably higher indoxyl sulfate levels than those with normal executive function. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanistic links between indoxyl sulfate and cognitive impairments.

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak of a coronavirus that causes illness shocked the world. Health precautions must be implemented to limit the number of COVID-19 cases or prevent transmission. This study aims to ascertain the public's perception of the COVID-19 case in the community. This report is one of the findings of a survey of the association between comorbidities and preventative behavior in COVID-19 cases, specifically public perceptions of COVID-19 cases in Bogor city. This study took place from March through the end of September 2020. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews utilizing a guideline developed based on the parameters of a qualitative study. The prior recommendations were validated, and the data was represented using transcripts and a data matrix to aid in the descriptive data analysis. According to a study on public views of COVID-19, individuals realize the risks they face if they do not adhere to the government's health protocols. According to quantitative data, the proper use of masks when outside the home is only 18.0%, the correct use of hand sanitizers is 26.2%, the correct use of soap is 80.3%, the proper use of hand sanitizers is 90.2%, and the correct coughing and sneezing behavior is 60.7%. In general, research data findings have not been encouraging for COVID-19 prevention; therefore, you will be prone to COVID-19 infection if you disregard health regulations, particularly by correctly wearing masks. As a result, in general, the findings of public perception have not been able to diminish the number of COVID-19 instances.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy can lead to complications during gestation, childbirth, and postpartum. The government recommends administering at least 90 Fe tablets to pregnant women to address this. Additionally, fulfilling nutritional needs is another strategy to combat anemia, with Moringa leaves emerging as a nutrient-rich food source known to elevate hemoglobin levels. This study investigated the impact of Moringa leaves and combined Fe tablet consumption on hemoglobin levels in anemic pregnant women. A quasi-experimental design incorporated pre-test and post-test evaluations with a control group in Bengkulu from June to November 2022. Purposive sampling yielded a cohort of 60 anemic pregnant women, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Data collected over two months were analyzed through univariate and bivariate methods using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests at a 5% significance level. Findings indicated that the combination of Moringa leaves and Fe tablet significantly increased hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia (p<0.05). Therefore, anemic pregnant women are encouraged to consume Moringa leaves as a potential measure to enhance their hemoglobin levels.

Abstract

TGF-β and VEGF are vital in cell proliferation and regeneration, as evidenced in processes like wound healing. The leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam exhibit anti-inflammatory and cell regenerative properties that may facilitate the transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase, enhancing wound repair. This research sought to discern the potential of orally administered moringa leaf extract in augmenting systemic wound healing, focusing on TGF-β and VEGF serum as in vivo molecular markers. This research was conducted at the Animal Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, and the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Universitas Padjadjaran, from January to March 2022. We divided thirty Swiss Webster mice into two categories: healthy and wound-treated. Wounded mice received 100 mg/kgBW Na CMC as a negative control, 500 mg/kgBW zinc syrup as a positive control, and M. oleifera leaves ethanol extract (MOLE) in doses of 280 and 560 mg/kgBW orally from day 3 to day 6. Wound progression was documented and measured on days 0, -1, -3, and -6. Day-6 blood samples were obtained, and TGF-β and VEGF serum levels were gauged using ELISA. Results from day 6 revealed that wound coverage in the 280 and 560 mg/kgBW MOLE groups was 13.76±5% and 13.38±4%, respectively. These percentages notably surpassed that of the negative control group (p=0.005). However, the TGF-β and VEGF serum levels in the MOLE-treated groups did not differ significantly from the negative control (p=0.081 and p=0.149, respectively). Thus, the study concludes that while MOLE expedites wound closure, it does so without the systemic involvement of TGF-β and VEGF in vivo.
