Abstract

Abstract: Epidemic curves will help decision-makers and the public to give a picture and pattern of the outbreak. It will create a path to explore the epidemiology of Covid-19. One of the highlights is the onset of illness. One of the approaches is to track the progression of Covid-19 in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the numbers and figures began to convey a message about the epidemic progression and put in efforts to stop the pandemic. The disease pattern grows exponentially. Hence, proper lines of rapid strategies are there to flatten the curve.

Abstract

Abstract:Diabetes Mellitus is one of the diseases that can cause complications for patients if neglected and is one of the causes of most death cases in Indonesia. This study aims to build a website-based system to help monitor nutrition for DM patients through 24 hours food recall (24HFR). The 24HFR system will integrate the roles of nurses and nutritionists in hospitals to understand patient eating behaviour and formulate nutrition education for patients. This system is built based on the SDLC stages, from the needs analysis stage to testing and implementing the program. The usability test results using SEQ show that health workers can easily use the website-based 24HFR system.

Abstract

Abstract: Negative stigma for Covid-19 survivors might induce anxiety. Camellia sinensis (C. sinensis) tea has been used to treat anxiety but no studies evaluate the tea on risk of anxiety among medical students who were Covid-19 survivors. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the risk of anxiety for C. sinensis tea drinkers among them. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Medical Faculty Universitas Lambung Mangkurat in December 2021. Information about tea consumption was collected from a questionnaire and anxiety disorder was determined by Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the risk. Of 129 students, 55 students (42.64%) had anxiety. Students who drank tea at least 2 glasses/day had a lower risk of anxiety by 90.4% than non-tea drinkers. Thus, C. sinensis tea was significantly associated with a lower risk of anxiety started from at least 2 glasses/day among medical students who were Covid-19 survivors.

Abstract

Decreased motor function is one of the problems that often arises in stroke patients. One of the nursing interventions to overcome the decline in motor function in stroke patients is to provide a motor relearning program (MRP) intervention. The objective of this study was to determine the length, duration, and frequency of giving a MRP and the effectiveness of MRP on motor function in stroke patients. This study was conducted by means of a literature review. Eight pieces of literature were identified from three databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed and Science Direct) in the 2000-2020 range. The research design studied was true and quasi-experimental with stroke patient’s population who received MRP . There were eight articles that met the inclusion criteria with different durations and frequencies of motor relearning programs. The provision of MRP interventions in post- stroke patients is effective in improving motor function. There are varying durations and frequencies of giving MRP. Each article mentions that MRP is effective restoring motor function, although with different times, durations and frequencies. Several articles also combined this intervention with other therapies such as bobath therapy and electrical stimulation, the results showed better. The provision of MRP interventions in post- stroke patients is effective improving motor function.

Abstract

Abstract: Antiseptic alcohol 70% is known to be effective in inhibiting the growth of bacterial colonization on the hands, but its use in the long term can cause skin disorders. An alternative antiseptic can be made from a mixture of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) and flower Cananga (Cananga odorata) which contains several antibacterial compounds. The purpose of this study was to analyze the antibacterial activity of the infusion mixture of Averrhoa bilimbi and Cananga odorata flowers in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Shigella sonnei bacteria. This in vitro research design used a posttest only with control group design with the observation parameter being the number of test bacteria colonies that grew on the observation medium. The treatments tested were a mixture of 50%, 75%, and 100% Averrhoa bilimbi infusion and 100% Cananga odorata, and 70% alcohol control. The results showed that the infusion mixture of Averrhoa bilimbi and Cananga odorata had different inhibitory effects on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; the number of colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli was not significantly different from the mixed treatment concentration of 100% (1:1) with 70% alcohol treatment. In conclusion, the infusion mixture of Averrhoa bilimbi fruit and Cananga odorata flower had antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and the best inhibitory effect was obtained in the 100% infusion mixture treatment.

Abstract

Abstract: Risk stratification of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients is very important to determine patient care and prognosis. The reliable parameters include C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). This study aimed to determine the relationship between CRP, LDH, and NLR levels with the severity of COVID-19 patients. An observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted at Ulin Hospital Banjarmasin on 91 eligible subjects. A logistic regression test was conducted to determine the relationship between variables and the severity of COVID-19. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between CRP levels and the severity of COVID-19 (prevalence odds ratio (POR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI 95%) 0.34-2.09, p=0.72). There was a significant difference between the mean LDH levels in severe COVID-19 compared to non-severe COVID-19 (1006 + 601.77 vs 543.5 + 480.41, p<0.001), with POR 4.23, 95% CI 95% 1.56-11.45, p=0.005; there was also a significant difference between the mean NLR values in severe COVID-19 compared to non-severe COVID-19 (9.01 + 6.32 vs 5.38 + 5.03, p=0.002) with POR of 12.21 CI 95% 3.80-39.31, p<0.001. This study showed that LDH levels and NLR values were important predictors of COVID-19 severity.

Abstract

Abstract: Sleep deprivation-induced stress decreases the quality of spermatozoa due to the increase of glucocorticoid levels through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Sleep recovery (SR) restores the effect of stress due to sleep deprivation by decreasing lipid peroxides and other free radicals and increasing glutathione antioxidants. This study aims to determine the spermatozoa quality in male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) after the stress induction by diverse sleep deprivation protocols. This study is experimental research with posttest-only control group design in 30 male albino rats divided into five groups consisting of group I for negative control (no induction of sleep deprivation), group II for paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD), group III for total sleep deprivation (TSD), group IV for PSD followed by SR, and group V for TSD followed by SR. PSD and TSD were performed by depriving rats sleep for 20 and 24 hours/day, respectively, for five days. SR was done for the next five days after PSD or TSD. Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normality of data distribution, and Levene's test was used for variance homogeneity. Comparative hypothesis was then analyzed with One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test, and significance between groups was analyzed with Tukey's Post-Hoc test. Group III (TSD) demonstrated the lowest mean of spermatozoa count (41,53±2,29), spermatozoa morphology (13,00±2,91), spermatozoa viability (31,00±7,39), and percentage of motility rate (37±8,58%) among all groups. In conclusion, total sleep deprivation (TSD) decreases the quality of spermatozoa in male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Abstract

Abstract: Flavonoids are phenolic compounds from nature that found in almost all parts of the plants. Seluang belum (Luvunga sarmentosa (Blume) Kurz.) root is one of the medicinal plants used by Dayak people in Central and South Kalimantan where in previous studies its part was contains flavonoids. This study aims to evaluate the best solvent for extracting flavonoid content and antioxidant activity using ethanol, methanol and ethyl acetate. The antioxidant activity performed by in vitro technique by DPPH assay. Total flavonoids content on the extracts of L. sarmentosa root determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometric with aluminium chloride method and calculated as quercetin equivalents (QE). The results showed the highest antioxidant activities confirmed for the methanol extract (IC50 = 80.33 ppm). The highest of total flavonoids contents was recorded for the ethanol extract (6.56 ± 0.006% w/w Quercetin Equivalent). The results showed that treatment effect of different solvent extraction was significant (sig <0.05) on total flavonoid and antioxidant activities from L. sarmentosa root.
