<![CDATA[Background: Knee osteoarthritis is the most common case suffered by elderly women. The population at high risk of experiencing knee osteoarthritis is women at 18% compared to men at around 9.6% worldwide, older age, excessive body weight, and having had a knee injury or having had previous knee surgery. Methods: The design of this study was a two-group pre-and post-test design. The research compares the effect of the myofascial release of the iliotibial band on reducing pain and increasing functional activity in knee osteoarthritis. The research subjects were all clients who had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis by a doctor. Results: The results of the test for the difference in pain scores with VAS before and after treatment in group 1 showed a value of p = 0.000 or a value of p < 0.05, while the functional ability scores with WOMAC before and after group 1 treatment showed a p-value = 0.000 or a p-value < 0.05, which means that there was an effect of standard therapy on reducing pain and increasing functional activity in osteoarthritis knees in group 1 so that the hypothesis was accepted. Conclusion: There is a difference in effect between standard therapy and standard therapy plus myofascial release of the iliotibial band to increase functional activity in knee osteoarthritis. There is a difference in the effect of standard therapy and standard therapy plus myofascial release iliotibial band on increasing functional activity (p = 0.00) in knee osteoarthritis.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Underweight in children under five is still a significant health problem in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. One such intervention that has gained cultural significance is infant massage, a traditional practice that promotes relaxation, improves digestion, and enhances weight gain. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of infant massage on weight gain in infants under 24 months within Banjar Regency, a region where undernutrition presents a significant public health issue. While infant massage is traditionally practiced and believed to benefit infant health, its effectiveness remains debatable. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group involving 51 mother-infant pairs was employed. Participants were divided into an intervention group (n=17) that received infant massage training and performed it over three months and a control group (n=34) that received no such intervention. This research uses an observation form instrument. Infant weight gain was the primary outcome measure, with data analyzed using independent sample t-tests to assess differences between the two groups. Results: No statistically significant difference was found in weight gain between the intervention and control groups (t = -0.415, p = 0.680). However, descriptive data revealed that 88.2% of infants in the intervention group experienced weight gain compared to 85.3% in the control group, indicating a potential trend toward positive effects of infant massage. Conclusion: Despite the lack of statistical significance, the observed trend suggests potential benefits of infant massage. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer durations is recommended.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee causes various health problems, including pain and limited movement that reduces productivity and quality of life, causing disability. This study aims to determine the comparative effectiveness between home-based exercise and kinesiotape in lowering pain and disability in the elderly with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: It was an experimental study with a randomized pre-test and post-test control group design. There were 30 participants divided into 2 groups: Group 1 with Kinesiotape and Group 2 with Home-Based Exercise. The intervention was given 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Disability was measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and pain was measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The p-value for WOMAC and VAS scores before and after intervention is <0.001 in kinesiotape and Home-Based exercise interventions, which states that there is a significant improvement in lowering disability. Comparative analysis between groups also showed p< 0.001. Conclusion: Kinesiotape and home-based exercises are both effective in reducing knee pain and disability in elderly with knee OA. However, home-based exercises have proven to be more effective than kinesiotape. Home-based exercises are recommended as the primary intervention to decrease pain and disability in elderly individuals with genetic knee OA.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Hypertension is a health problem commonly experienced by the elderly and is one of the most prevalent conditions in this age group. The effect of acupuncture in lowering blood pressure includes regulating vasoactive substances in the blood vessel endothelium. One of the active substances known to be affected by release and activation through acupuncture is Nitric Oxide (NO). This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of taichong and zusanli points of acupuncture for hypertension patients. Methods: This study employed a one-group pre-test–post-test pre-experimental design involving 40 elderly participants selected through accidental sampling during an elderly exercise program. Acupuncture intervention was performed on the LR3 and ST36 points according to clinical guidelines for 10 minutes per session by certified practitioners, with close monitoring and no reported side effects. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, and post-intervention comparisons were conducted using paired samples t-test. Results: The analysis showed a reduction in mean systolic blood pressure of 10.95 mmHg after the acupuncture intervention (95% CI: 155.53 to 165.87, p-value < 0.01), indicating a statistically significant pre–post difference within the sample. In contrast, the mean diastolic blood pressure decreased by 1.15 mmHg (95% CI: 76.76 to 84.19, p-value > 0.05), suggesting no statistically significant change. Conclusion: These findings reflect an improvement in systolic, but not diastolic, blood pressure among the participating elderly individuals. Acupuncture shows potential as a supportive therapy in lowering systolic blood pressure in the elderly.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects social communication and reciprocal interaction abilities in children. Maternal diabetes mellitus during pregnancy, specifically gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), represents a potentially modifiable risk factor associated with elevated ASD risk in offspring. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between diabetes in mothers and the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis of nine cohort studies involving diverse populations to evaluate the association between mothers with diabetes during pregnancy and the risk of ASD in their offspring (2015–2024) sourced from PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. A random-effects model was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aOR). Results: Data from 3,908,133 children showed that maternal diabetes increases the ASD risk by 16% (aOR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.11–1.22, p<0.001), with significant heterogeneity (I² = 79%). Conclusion: This meta-analysis identified a statistically significant but modest association between maternal diabetes mellitus during pregnancy and ASD risk in offspring. The relationship reflects an observational association and cannot establish causality. These findings emphasize the clinical importance of preconception glycemic optimization, enhanced antenatal monitoring of maternal glucose control, and developmental surveillance of offspring born to diabetic mothers.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Knee Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease of the knee cartilage which is characterized by pain and joint stiffness which has an impact on the functional activities of the elderly. Physiotherapy has an important role in reducing pain by using electrotherapy modalities (ultrasound) and also exercise therapy (active assisted exercise and isometric exercise) The aim of this study is to determine the difference in effectiveness between adding active assisted exercise and isometric exercise to ultrasound intervention in reducing pain among elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: This research was conducted at the Physiotherapy Clinic of Merdeka Medical Center from June to July 2024. The study used an experimental pre-test–post-test control group design with purposive sampling. Twenty-six elderly participants were selected and allocated into two groups of thirteen participants each. Knee pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), administered before and after the intervention in both groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Based on the results of the paired samples t-test in groups 1 and 2. Results: The p value was 0.001, indicating a significant difference between group 1 and group 2 in reducing pain. Isometric exercise combined with ultrasound reduced knee pain by 51.3% more than active assisted exercise combined with ultrasound in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. Conclusion: Isometric exercise with ultrasound reduces knee pain in the elderly compared to active assisted exercise. Therefore, isometric exercise with ultrasound should be recommended as a preferred physiotherapy intervention to reduce pain in this population.]]>
