Abstract

Security officers require good physical fitness to perform their duties effectively. Maintaining this level of fitness often involves structured exercise programs that consider the frequency, intensity, duration, and type of activity. This study aims to examine the relationship between a structured physical exercise program, individual factors, and work-related factors on the physical fitness of security officers. This study was conducted in July 2023 and utilized company program data from March to June 2023, focusing on 67 security officers at PT X. Physical fitness data was collected using the Cooper test method and analyzed using SPSS. Data normality was assessed using the skewness/standard error method, with values <2 considered normally distributed. A paired sample t-test revealed a significant relationship between Cooper test distances before and after participation in the structured exercise program (p<0.001). Further analysis demonstrated relationships between changes in physical fitness and several factors: work fatigue (p<0.001), work stress dimensions (specifically work overload, role conflict, quantitative and qualitative workload excess, career development, and responsibility to others, all with p<0.014), and sleep quality (p<0.001). The coefficient of determination (r2) was 0.496, indicating that work fatigue, role conflict, and sleep quality collectively explain 49.6% of the variance in physical fitness changes. The remaining variance is likely influenced by factors not included in the model. Multivariate analysis confirmed that work fatigue (p<0.001), role conflict (p=0.036), and sleep quality (p=0.015) were predictors of changes in physical fitness. In conclusion, a structured physical exercise program has a positive influence on the physical fitness of security officers. Furthermore, work fatigue, work stress (particularly role conflict), and sleep quality are associated with changes in physical fitness among these officers.

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

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is difficult to eradicate due to several factors, including insufficient treatment and medication side effects. Linezolid is among the medications with serious adverse effects. Linezolid toxicity is suspected to be related to the drug's binding to mitochondrial 16s rRNA. Some studies indicate that polymorphisms in patients' mtDNA may increase vulnerability to the development of toxic optic neuropathy. This study aims to identify a genetic influence on the vulnerability to the occurrence of toxic optic neuropathy side effects in drug-resistant tuberculosis patients receiving linezolid treatment. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang, from September to October 2023. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was undertaken to detect mutations in the G3010A mtDNA of the patients. Two patients experiencing toxic optic neuropathy side effects during drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment underwent blood sample collection. Blood samples were examined for mutations in the G3010A and A2706G genes using the PCR-RFLP method. The PCR-RFLP examination results indicated the presence of mutations in G3010A. In conclusion, polymorphism of G3010A mtDNA may contribute to the vulnerability to toxic optic neuropathy side effects in drug-resistant tuberculosis patients receiving linezolid. Further research with a larger population is needed to prove the involvement of mtDNA polymorphisms in the vulnerability to toxic optic neuropathy.

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

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

Acute respiratory failure is the most common complication and cause of death in COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 medication has yet to be discovered. COVID-19 treatment guidelines are constantly being updated. This study aims to determine the COVID-19 treatment patterns in patients with acute respiratory failure at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2021–2022. This retrospective, descriptive study used systematic random sampling to examine medical records of COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Central General Hospital between June 2021 and June 2022. Gender, age, length of stay, outcome, comorbidities, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment data were analyzed by SPSS software. This study included 120 COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure, with the majority of patients are male (55.83%), 30–60 years old (55.83%), length of stay of 1–3 days (52.5%), and have disease severity at severe condition (43.33%) and one comorbidity (37.5%). Patients mostly received non-rebreathing oxygen mask (54.2%), antiviral remdesivir (83.3%), corticosteroid dexamethasone (76.7%), enoxaparin anticoagulants (61.7%), a combination of vitamin C, vitamin D, and multivitamins (45.8%), and two antibiotics (33.3%). Additional treatments include tocilizumab (0.8%), intravenous immunoglobulin (2.5%), and convalescent plasma (0.8%). Statistical analysis shows that patients who stay at the hospital longer, have less or no comorbidities, and are given oxygen therapy have a significant possibility of recovering. Treatments commonly prescribed to COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure are antivirals, corticosteroids, anticoagulants, vitamins, and antibiotics, while the administration of oxygen therapy has a significant probability of recovery. DOI: https://doi.org/10.29313/gmhc.v12i3.14073

Abstract

Biliary atresia represents one of the most prevalent etiologies for neonatal cholestasis. Unmanaged biliary atresia can be fatal. Ultrasonography is the primary diagnostic test because it's accurate, cost-effective, and available. Various ultrasound findings can assist in diagnosing biliary atresia; the length-to-width ratio of the gallbladder is a particularly advantageous method, offering a short examination time, objectivity, and ease of use, with an accuracy rate of 78.9%. In cases with unconventional ultrasound findings, gamma-glutamyl transferase is believed to be able to complete the diagnostic process with an accuracy rate of up to 80%. The optimal cut-off value differs between studies, making it challenging to use as a benchmark for biliary atresia detection. In this study, researchers aim to further investigate the relationship between length-to-width ratio and gamma-glutamyl transferase in cases of biliary atresia, compared to the liver biopsy results in these patients and the optimal cut-off. This study employed an observational analytic approach with a retrospective design. The sample population consisted of all patients with neonatal cholestasis who underwent laboratory and ultrasonographic examinations at Dr. Soetomo Academic General Hospital Surabaya between 2019 and 2023. The study population comprised 82 patients. A significant relationship (p-value<0.001) was observed between the length-to-width ratio of the gallbladder and biliary atresia, as well as between gamma-glutamyl transferase and biliary atresia (area under the curve: 0.7–0.8). However, the analysis between the length-to-width ratio of the gallbladder and the value of gamma-glutamyl transferase showed p-value=0.066, which means no significant relationship was observed between the length-to-width ratio and gamma-glutamyl transferase. DOI: https://doi.org/10.29313/gmhc.v12i3.14170
