Abstract

Anemia has a significant impact on maternal health, growth, and fetal development during pregnancy. These nutritional problems can be prevented by increasing food consumption containing protein and iron. One form of local wisdom used as an alternative is the use of Moringa oleifera leaves and Clarias sp. (catfish). This study aims to determine the effect of giving catfish nuggets mixed with Moringa oleifera leaf flour on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia. The design used in this study was experimental, with a one-group pre-post test design. This study consisted of a treatment group that received catfish nuggets and Moringa oleifera leaves and continued to take Fe tablets. The treatment group received nuggets for 30 days, once a day in the afternoon, and then the control group was given Fe tablets. The subjects in this study were 32 pregnant women who experienced anemia. This study was conducted from August 21 to September 20, 2024, at the Sesele Public Health Center in Lombok Barat regency. The results of the study showed that the p-value was smaller than the significance level of 5% (0.05), namely 0.000<0.05, catfish nuggets and Moringa oleifera leaves significantly affect the increase in hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. This study concludes that catfish nuggets and Moringa oleifera leaves can increase hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Therefore, consuming catfish nuggets and Moringa oleifera leaves regularly can cure anemia.

Abstract

A wound involves damage to the epithelial layer of the skin, extending to the subcutis and surrounding tissues. The body initiates a healing process starting with inflammation. Neutrophils play a crucial role in this phase; excessive neutrophils can cause tissue necrosis, while insufficient neutrophils may lead to infection. Neutrophils are essential for bacterial eradication during inflammation. Sage leaf extract, known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties, may aid in wound healing. This study evaluates the effectiveness of 5% sage leaf extract gel on neutrophil count during the wound healing process in Wistar rats. This study was conducted in several Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani Cimahi laboratories from 29 May 2023 to 23 February 2024. A post-test-only control group design was used with 25 samples divided into five groups: (K-1) no treatment, tissue sampled at 13 minutes; (K-2) no treatment, tissue sampled at 103 minutes; (KN) healthy/normal control; (KP1) 5% sage leaf extract gel, tissue sampled at 13 minutes; (KP2) 5% sage leaf extract gel, tissue sampled at 103 minutes. Data analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney post hoc test (p≤0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference. The highest mean neutrophil count was observed in the KP2 group, which received 5% sage leaf extract gel and had tissue sampled at 103 minutes. The study concludes that a 5% sage leaf extract gel is effective in increasing neutrophil counts during the healing of punch wounds in Wistar rats, which contributes to accelerated wound healing.

Abstract

The 2015 United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) report stated that violence against children occurs widely in Indonesia, and from the results of monitoring by the Indonesia Child Protection Commission (Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia, KPAI), the increase in the number of violence against children has increased significantly from 2011 to 2015. The impact of violence on children is vast, including the increased risk of suicidal behavior. This research employed a cross-sectional method with adolescents aged 13–18 years in Bandung city. Subject selection was conducted using the consecutive sampling method. The history of violence was measured using the IPSCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool for Children (ICAST-C) Indonesian language version, and the risk of suicide ideation was calculated using the early detection of adolescent suicide ideation risk factors instrument. Data analysis uses the chi-square method and the t-independent test (unpaired). This research was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the researcher collected data online. The study was conducted in Bandung city. Data collection was carried out from May to June 2020. The results of 69 adolescents in Bandung city were 72% (50 adolescents) who experienced at least 1 type of violence, and 36% (25 adolescents) had suicidal thoughts. Teens who had experienced violence were 16.6 times more likely also to have suicidal ideation. The conclusion was found that there was a meaningful relationship between child abuse and the risk of suicidal ideation in adolescents in Bandung city.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disorder of the kidney defined by a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for a minimum of three months, progressive and irreversible. One complication is chronic kidney disease-metabolic bone disorders (CKD-MBD), which can cause osteoporosis. This is diagnosed using bone mineral densitometry-dual energy absorptiometry (BMD-DXA) and panoramic radiographs, which can also detect thinning of the mandibular cortex in patients with CKD. This study aims to determine the correlation between osteoporosis images on panoramic photos with the results of lumbar and hip areal T-scores in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This research is an observational study with a prospective approach and cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study were 52 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Undergoing hemodyalize procedure (HD) at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital for February–March 2024. Data was collected by taking the results of the panoramic photo examination and BMD-DXA to see the results of the T-score in each patient—data analysis using the Spearman test on SPSS software. Which resulted in the p-values for the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), and mandibular cortical index (MCI) with a lumbar T-score range of 0.093 to 0.676 and the PMI, MCW, and MCI with left-right hip T-score, the p-values ranged from 0.318 to 0.970 (all p-values >0.05). It can be concluded that there is no correlation between the results of the T-score for the lumbar and hip regions and the measurements of PMI, MCW, and MCI. Therefore, employing these three measurements as a standard for osteoporosis screening using panoramic x-rays is not feasible.

Abstract

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common male sexual dysfunctions, defined as the inability to get or maintain an erection, and its prevalence is increasing over time. The current treatment, using a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor like sildenafil, only offers a temporary solution. Secretome, a bioactive substance derived from mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord, has shown remarkable regenerative capabilities. This study aims to explore the potential of administering umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome to patients with severe erectile dysfunction and evaluate its impact on the stiffness of the corpus cavernosum using elastography in the flaccid phase. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a pre-post test. It involved seven patients who came to Dr. Soetomo Hospital with severe erectile dysfunction that was unresponsive to sildenafil. Elastography evaluation, including strain and shear wave elastography, was performed before and one month after secretome injection, which was carried out from March to April 2024. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test when the data distribution was normal and the Wilcoxon test when the data distribution was not normal. There were statistically significant changes (p<0.05) in all patients who underwent strain and shear wave elastography of the corpus cavernosum before and one month after secretome administration, indicating an improvement in stiffness. In conclusion, intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome has demonstrated promising results in treating severe erectile dysfunction non-responsive to sildenafil therapy. These results include improved penile tissue in the corpus cavernosum, as evidenced by decreased stiffness on elastography.

Abstract

Problematic online gamers are shown to be biased towards information about gaming, focusing on it more than other subjects. Measuring cognitive processes requires tasks with specific stimuli, essential for studying decision-making. This research aims to create a gambling-related stimulus for a mental task. The research used a combination of methods. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews and focus group discussions, while quantitative data were collected through questionnaires. A total of 88 research participants were obtained by purposive sampling with inclusion criteria: aged 18–30, played games 4–10 hours daily for at least 12 months. Forty gamers participated in semi-structured interviews using an interview guide based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) theoretical framework. Forty-eight gamers also took part in focus group discussions (FGDs). This research was conducted in Bandung from November 2023 to October 2024. The data were analyzed using NVivo-14 software and descriptive statistics. As a result, various stimuli were obtained, including 597-word stimuli, 87 image stimuli, and 97 audio stimuli. It was hypothesized that these stimuli would evoke a strong association with online games, prompting gamers to devote greater attention when encountering them, whether in visual, textual, or audio formats.

Abstract

Anthropometry, the study of human body measurements, is crucial in estimating stature, which is valuable in medical research, forensic science, anthropology, and ergonomic design. While various methods exist for estimating stature, lumbar spine measurements make a significant contribution to this estimation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between lumbar spine dimensions and stature in the Indonesian population using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan data. This analytical observational study, employing a cross-sectional approach, was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from August to September 2023. The key measurements included heights of the posterior, anterior, and central vertebral bodies from lumbar 1 to lumbar 5 (L1 to L5), transverse pedicle diameter, pedicle axis length, vertical pedicle diameter, and overall stature. The study included 66 subjects (30 males and 36 females). Males had an average height of 165.86 cm, while females had an average height of 155.85 cm. Significant gender differences were observed in heights of the posterior vertebral body (HPVB), heights of the central vertebral body (HCVB), and pedicle axis length (PAL) measurements. HPVB of L1 can be used as a predictor of height in females (p<0.001), whereas PAL of L5 can be used as a predictor of height in males (p=0.006). Lumbar spine dimensions measured using 3D CT scans provide reliable stature predictions, with specific measurements such as HPVB from L1 in females and PAL from L5 in males showing high accuracy. These findings support the development of population-specific anthropometric tools and enhance understanding of factors influencing stature in Indonesia.

Abstract

Mediastinal mass is becoming a global health problem due to high mortality. The heterogeneous mediastinal components make the symptoms of mediastinal mass diverse. CT scans are still the imaging modality for examining mediastinal mass before surgery or other therapies. In this study, we evaluate whether a CT scan could predict the malignancy of mediastinal mass, which is expected to help establish a pre-surgical or pre-biopsy diagnosis. Sixty-two samples were taken consecutively from mediastinal mass patients who came to Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital to undergo a CT scan of the thorax with contrast and histopathology examination (core biopsy or open biopsy), which was carried out in the period from December 2019 to March 2024. The results of the CT scan imaging used in this study variable include mass location, mass shape, mass size, infiltration with surrounding organs, attenuation values before contrast administration, after contrast administration, and additional attenuation before and after contrast administration. The CT scan and histopathology results were compared, and multivariate analysis was performed to obtain predictor factors. The location of the mediastinal mass (anterior, medius, posterior), the solid heterogeny component, cystic, calcification, mass shape, organ infiltration, and contrast enhancement value could significantly predict the mediastinal mass's malignancy. If obtained simultaneously, the organ infiltration and contrast enhancement value >20 HU can indicate whether a mediastinal mass is malignant with a specificity of up to 100%.

Abstract

In 2021, Cimahi City recorded the 5th highest dengue fever (DF) cases among 27 districts/cities in West Java. Efforts to control DF have been going on for several decades, with one strategy being to involve community participation in eliminating mosquito breeding sites. This research evaluated community participation in Cimahi city by identifying mosquito breeding locations inside and outside the home. Samples were taken from 15 sub-districts in Cimahi city. The research population involved houses in 15 sub-districts, with a total sample of 1,560 houses representing each sub-district. Larval sampling was carried out in various water reservoirs, both natural and artificial, around residential areas. The successfully taken larvae were then identified and counted in the laboratory. The research showed that the most dominant mosquito breeding place was in bucket-type containers, namely 130 units (3.2%). Entomological data produced a free larva index (FLI) of 79.23%, a house index (HI) of 20.7%, a container index (CI) of 8.07%, and a Breteau index (BI) of 20.5%. This finding indicated a lack of community involvement in preventing vector-borne diseases by eliminating breeding sites. Cimahi city still had the potential to spread vector-borne diseases.
