Abstract

Introduction. The need for Vitamin D can be fulfilled through direct synthesis from Vitamin D stores in the skin with the help of ultraviolet B rays. Therefore, sufficient Vitamin D intake and sun exposure are needed. Most of the activities of medical students on campus are indoors from morning to evening, so it is suspected that there is a risk of Vitamin D deficiency. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk of Vitamin D deficiency based on the characteristics of Vitamin D from food intake and sun exposure in Faculty of Medicine students, Universitas Sriwijaya. Methods. This research was a descriptive study using a questionnaire and observation. Age, sex, BMI and use of related drugs were recorded. The food survey method used was the repeated food recall which was then analyzed using Nutrisurvey 2007. Subjects filled out a questionnaire to obtain data on exposure scores and sun protection scores. The research subjects were students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya who were willing to sign informed consent and were present at the time of sampling. Results. The results from the data of 259 subjects showed that 98.8% of the subjects did not meet their vitamin D intake needs, with an average consumption of 123 ± 142 IU. Types of food that contribute the most Vitamin D are catfish (40%) and eggs (20%). None of the subjects took supplements containing Vitamin D. Sun exposure was sufficient for most subjects (62.9%), but most subjects were at risk of deficiency due to the use of sun protection (62.2%) Conclusion. There is a risk of deficiency in most medical students due to a lack of Vitamin D intake and the use of sun protection.

Abstract

Introduction. Stroke is the number one cause of death and disability in Indonesia. It was found that the incidents of stroke were higher at ages over 45 years. The use of pulse oximeter is an efficient step in monitoring oxygenation in stroke patients. Decreased oxygen levels can cause neurological deficits such as cognitive impairment, causing patients to have problems in attention and executive functions. This study aims to determine the relationship between the type of acute stroke and oxygen saturation in early hospitalization period. Methods. This research was carried out from November to December 2023 at the National Brain Center Hospital, Jakarta, using a cross sectional approach. Information on diagnosis and oxygen saturation values were obtained through medical records, with a total of 70 patients as subjects. Subjects selected through simple random sampling with patients age over 45 years. Statistical analysis used the Mann Whitney test with a significantly different p value <0.05. Results. A total of 68.6% of the subjects were male with ages of 45-59 dominated the subjects at 51.4%. Statistical tests on the type of acute stroke with oxygen saturation values produced a value of p = 0.044 (p < 0.05) on the 3rd day of hospitalization. These results indicate a significant relationship between the type of acute stroke and the oxygen saturation value on the 3rd day of hospitalization. Conclusion. There is a significant correlation between the type of acute stroke and oxygen saturation in the 3rd day of hospitalization.

Abstract

The human civilizations have been using plants and herbs for their rich sources of phytonutrients and bioactive compounds. Polyphenols are one of the groups of beneficial compounds found naturally, they include a wide variety of molecules and are divided into 4 main categories, which are flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, and stilbenes. It is estimated that more than 10,000 flavonoid compounds have been isolated and then identified, with the results finding that the majority of flavonoids are widely accepted as therapeutic agents. It is found in various flowers, fruits, and leaves such as red peppers, celery, parsley, chamomile, mint, and ginkgo biloba. Flavonoids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties using a mechanism that is thought to be different. The mechanism used may include an enzyme inhibition mechanism for enzymes that regulate transcription factors. This has a very important role, one of the roles being the control of mediators involved in an inflammatory process. The study for this systematic review was conducted without a time constraint using scientific databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect, with 5 years’ time limitation. Previous research has validated the pharmacological characteristics of some flavonoids and their potential health advantages.
