Abstract

Background: Corneal ulcer is an emergency condition in ophthalmology, causing visual impairment, mostly by bacterial infection with rapid pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to discover the characteristics of bacterial corneal ulcer patients in the National Eye Center, Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung.Methods: A total of 99 medical records consisted of patients diagnosed with bacterial corneal ulcer were selected in this descriptive study. The clinical patterns and predisposing factors of the patients were analyzed. The study also identified the pathogenic bacteria of the cases. This study was carried out in the National Eye Center, Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung from January to December 2011 Clinical patterns. The collected data were analyzed and presented in frequency tabulation.Results: The male to female ratio was 2:1, with the average age of 44.4 years. The most common presenting symptom was eye pain (70.7%). Most patients came with decreased visual acuity that was categorized as (near-) blindness (78.8%) and the location of the ulcer was in central area of the cornea (56.5%). The most common predisposing factor was ocular trauma (74.7%) that was caused by exposed to plants. Single-bacterial infection (67.7%) was predominant, with 56 cases (56.6%) of Gram-positive cocci infection.Conclusions:  Bacterial corneal ulcer contributes to 48.8% of all microbial corneal ulcers. Most patients came with mild condition, centralized location, and poor visual function. The common predisposing factor was trauma associated with exposed to plants. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n3.505

Abstract

Background: Head and neck cancer is a health problem with a high mortality rate. Head and neck cancer are increasing and effect many individuals from diverse backgrounds. Usually patients come with advanced stages, therefore these conditions could lead to decrease their quality of life. Aim of this study was to describe the profile of head and neck cancer patients at the Otorhinolaringology-Head and Neck Surgery Department, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional method was used from medical records of head neck cancer patients at Department of Otorhinolaringology-Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from 2008 to 2012 that used the total sampling method.Results: There were 665 patients included in this study, which men who participated were 388 and women were 277. Most of them were elementary educated (44.96%), housewives (32.03%), and those aged 46–55 years old (28.33%). There were nasopharyngeal (38.20%), sinonasal (17.29%), larnyx (13.08%), oropharnyx (6.32%), thyroid gland (6.17%), oral cavity (3.91%), hypopharynx (2.41%), and parotid gland (2.26%) cancer. The major histopathological findings were undifferentiated carcinoma (45.41%) and squamous cell carcinoma (22.26%), those were presented with stage I (7.4%), II (13.5%), III (24.4%), and IV (54.7%).Conclusions: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma was the most predominant cases which majority were presented in advanced stage and major histopathology features was undifferentiated carcinoma, while demografic characteristic mostly were in middle aged and older, men with low education background.

Abstract

Protein dalam urin biasanya menandakan penyakit ginjal atau nefritis, tetapi sebenarnya proteinuriatidak selalu menunjukkanpenyakit ginjal.Pengeluaran protein dalam urin yang mirip dengan yang terjadi pada  nefritis dapat timbul setelah olahraga, tetapi keadaan ini tidak berbahaya, bersifat sementara dan reversibel.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek latihan fisik intensitas sedang terhadap kadar albumin urin mahasiswa Akademi Keperawatan Kesdam II Sriwijaya Palembang.Penelitian Quasi Experimental dengan rancangan one group pre-post test design di Kampus Akademi Keperawatan Kesdam II Sriwijaya Palembang yang berlangsung dari tanggal 29 April 2013 sampai dengan 20 Mei 2013. 23 orang sampel terpilih menyelesaikan latihan fisik intensitas sedang; jogging menempuh jarak 1800 meter dalam 20 menit 3 kali seminggu. Semua sampel dilakukanpengukuran albumin urin sebelum dan sesudah latihan fisik intensitas sedang.Data dideskripsikan dalam bentuk tabel dan diolah dengan menggunakan  uji t-brpasangan pada  SPSS 17.Hasil penelitan menunjukkan bahwa rerata umur sampel  18,61 ± 0,941 tahun, dengan Indeks Masa Tubuh (IMT) 20,90 ± 2,323. Kadar albumin urin sebelum latihan fisik intensitas sedang 4,57 ± 2,041 µg/mg kreatinin, meningkat menjadi 23,22 ± 13,111 µg/mg kreatinin setelahnya. Ada perbedaan yang bermakna kadar albumin urin sebelum dan setelah latilah intensitas fisik sedang selama 3 minggu (p = 0,000).Ada efek latihan fisik intensitas sedang terhadap kadar albumin urin, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut tentang efek intensitas latihan fisik (seperti; intensitas ringan, sedang dan berat) terhadap kadar albumin urin atau komponen protein urin lainnya.

Abstract

The most consumed and cultivated coffee in Indonesia is robusta and arabica coffee. Robusta and arabica coffee have different characteristics such as morphology, contents, and taste. Coffee consumption could cause alteration in taste sensitivity, especially sweet taste. Those could affect daily sugar consumption. The present study aimed to determine the differences of short-term consumption of semendo robusta and arabica coffee towards sweet taste sensitivity. This study used experimental study with a cross-over design approach that involved 21 students from the Faculty of Medicine Sriwijaya University. Semendo robusta and arabica coffee are used in this study. Sweet taste sensitivity was tested using the whole mouth test method by rinsed with sucrose solution at a concentration of 0,16, 0,32, 0,64, and 1,28 mol/l, which was given from the lowest concentration. Sweet taste sensitivity scores were rated at baseline and after the consumption of semendo robusta and arabica coffee which took place on different days. The lowest sucrose concentration that was correctly interpreted by the subject was noted as a taste sensitivity score. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The chi-square test showed that the decrease in sweet taste sensitivity was more frequently happening after semendo arabica coffee consumption than semendo robusta coffee consumption (p<0,05). Short-term consumption of semendo arabica coffee has significantly increased the risk of sweet taste sensitivity reduction 4 times greater than semendo robusta coffee. There were differences in sweet taste sensitivity between short-term consumption of semendo robusta and arabica coffee.

Abstract

Background: Lacto-ovo vegetarian has been associated with a higher risk of nutritional deficiencies. Some studies have reported that nutritional deficiencies could affect salivary pH. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet on salivary pH differences. Method: This study used an observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach. This study involved 40 healthy subjects aged 17-44 years consisting of 2 groups: lacto-ovo vegetarian (n= 20) for at least 1 year and non vegetarian (n = 20) as a control group. Pregnant women, anticholinergic and alcohol consumption, smoking habits and DMFT > 5 are exclude from this study. The collection of unstimulated saliva was done using the spitting method. Saliva pH was measured using a digital pH meter. The data obtained were statistically tested using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The mean salivary pH values in the lacto-ovo vegetarian diet group were lower than those of the non vegetarian group. There is a significant difference in salivary pH between lacto-ovo and non vegetarian group (p<0,05). Conclusion: Individuals with lacto-ovo vegetarian diet have a low salivary pH which might influence their oral health.
