Abstract

Hypertension is one of the main health problems in Indonesia, which if not controlled will result in health, psychological, social and economic burdens. A common clinical consequence of hypertension is impaired cognitive function, namely dementia and senility, which can be examined through the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina). The service program which is carried out by the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara (FK USU) is an examination of cognitive function and blood pressure in Padang Bulan Selayang II region. Examinations are carried out in accordance with the 2017 World Alzheimer Month and are followed by lay seminars on dementia, brain gym exercises (gerak latih otak/GLO) as well as brain teasers. The activity involved 26 participants from integrated development post (pos pembinaan terpadu/Posbindu) with a mean systolic blood pressure (TDS) 131.54 + 18.70 mmHg, mean diastolic blood pressure (TDD) 83.85 + 8.98 mmHg, mean mean arterial pressure 99, 69 + 9.47 mmHg and a mean MoCA-Ina score of22 + 5.03. Blood pressure monitoring, education of community awareness and cognitive stimulation at regular intervals are expected to prevent and reduce the incidence of hypertension, dementia and senility.

Abstract

Several studies have shown that there is an increase in bilirubin levels, leukocytes, and blood pressure in acute phase strokes. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between liver function levels, leucocytes, and blood pressure with the functional outcome of acute stroke. The method was a cross-sectional study with a sample size of 30 people who were selected by consecutive non-random sampling method, clinically proven acute stroke patients, and computed tomography (CT) scan. They were studied at the General Hospital of the Adam Malik Center. Demographic data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that all subjects did not differ in terms of demographic characteristics. This study concluds that there is no relation between liver function (total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [AST], serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT], alkaline phosphatase [ALP]), leukocytes, and blood pressure with acute stroke functional outcome. The functional outcome in acute hemorrhagic stroke is worse than acute ischemic stroke. Higher levels of liver function, leucocytes, and blood pressure were found in patients with the worse functional outcome though not significantly associated.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is a sudden-onset neurologic deficit and having a type 2 diabetes increases the risk of stroke twice as much. In addition to affecting physical and mental abilities, stroke can also lead to a decline in nutritional status. Malnutrition is associated with poor functional outcomes in all stroke subtypes. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is an objective nutritional marker and could reflects malnutrition due to its comprehensive assessment of nutritional status. This study aims to find the association between nutritional status towards the outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: This was an observational analytic study with prospective cohort design using primary data collected consecutively from patients with both acute ischemic stroke and type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized in the Stroke Corner Room, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and inpatient ward of Haji Adam Malik General Hospital who met the inclusion criteria. The nutritional statuses of patients were measured using the CONUT score and patients outcomes were measured by mRS score. Spearman correlation test was used to assess the association between nutritional status and outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: There were 43 patients who met the inclusion criteria where the majority of patients were male 22 people (51.2%), in the age group 51-65 years 23 people (53.5%) with a mean age of 57.93 + 10.01, was a housewife 15 people (34.9%) and Bataknese 27 people (62.8%). The majority of patients in this study had mild malnutrition with a total of 15 people (34.9%) and a median CONUT score of 3 (0-11) and poor outcome as many as 29 people (67.4%) with mRS score median 4 (0-6). The result of  Spearman correlation test showed a significant correlation between nutritional status and the outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a moderate correlation. Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between nutritional status and the outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a moderate correlation

Abstract

Introduction: Patients with tumor usually show abnormal laboratory coagulation tests, indicating a subclinical hypercoagulable state that contributes to morbidity and mortality. Hematologic markers such as the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can be used as an index of tumor progression, high PLR is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with primary or metastatic tumors. KPS is a method that is widely used to assess the functional status of a patient. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between coagulation profile and platelet-lymphocyte with Karnofsky Performance Status Scale in Brain Tumor Patients. Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design using primary data sources taken consecutively from all brain tumor patients who were hospitalized in Inpatient Room at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan who met the inclusion criteria. The parameters analyzed were Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), D dimer (DD), and PLR. Clinical outcome of brain tumor patients was assessed using KPS. To assess the relationship between coagulation marker factors and the ratio of platelets to lymphocytes to KPS, the Spearman and Gamma tests were used. Results: Of the 30 research subjects analyzed, the number of female subjects was comparable to that of males (50%). The highest age is in the age range of 61-70 years by 30%. The highest level of education was high school at 40%, the most research subjects were housewives at 33.3% and the most types of brain tumors were primary brain tumors at 56.7%. The highest KPS score during treatment was found in the <70 group of 76.7%. From the correlation test, it was found that there was a strong, significant relationship between the values of PT (p<0.02 r = -0.731), APTT (p<0.013 r = -0.761), D-dimer (p<0.001 r = -0.737) and PLR (p<0.001 r = 0.78) on the clinical outcome of brain tumor patients assessed by KPS. Conclusion: There is a strong relationship between PT, APTT, D-dimer and PLR values on KPS in patients with brain tumor.

Abstract

Introduction: Tension-type headache (TTH) is one of the major public health concerns globally with an incidence of 1.89 billion people. Fatigue is potentially debilitating and affects an individual's quality of life and is known to be associated with the case of TTH. The purpose of this study was To find out the relationship between fatigue and the incidence of tension-type headache in the first semester resident doctors of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Sumatera Utara. Method: The research design was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach which was undertaken at Haji Adam Malik Hospital and Network Hospital in January to February 2022 with all first semester resident doctors as research subject at Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara in the period of August 2022. Fatigue was measured through the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), TTH frequency was measured using the third of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) criteria, and TTH pain intensity was measured using numerical rating scale (NRS). Meanwhile, to analyze the relationship between fatigue and the incidence of tension-type headache, the Spearman correlation test was used. Results: : Total subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was 98.  Regarding to the results of statistical tests, a significant relationship was obtained between fatigue and TTH frequency (r= 0,294, p= 0,003), but there was no relationship between fatigue and the pain intensity (r= 0,143, p= 0,160). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between fatigue and TTH frequency. However, the relationship was not significant between Fatigue and the pain intensity

Abstract

Introduction: Cognitive function, which is also known as the higher cortical function, is the most important aspect in determining the independence of patient. In patients with intracranial tumors, the presence of a tumor can directly affect cognitive function which affects quality of life. Quality of life is an important component in clinical neurooncology, especially intracranial tumors in determining the independence and choice of therapeutic approach. However, research related to the relationship between cognitive function and quality of life is still minimal. Method: This study used a cross-sectional method using an observational analytic approach in patients with intracranial tumors. The study subjects were 30 intracranial tumor patients and the MoCA-INA and Barthel Index were assessed. Results: Of the 30 research subjects, the majority were female (60.0%), average age 49.8 years, university education (50.0%), and Javanese ethnicity (53.3%). Headache is the most common manifestation (83.3%). Most of the patients had tumor involvement of one lobe (63.3%), and located in the parietal lobe (63.3%). There is a significant relationship between cognitive function and quality of life of intracranial tumor patients (p = 0.012). Conclusion: There is a relationship between cognitive function and quality of life of intracranial tumor patients.
