Abstract

Background: At the beginning of 2020, the world was shocked by a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) whose disease was called Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The research aims to determine the self-perception of Co-Assistant students regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The study was designed cross-sectional, which was conducted via sharing online links. Respondents must Co-Assistant students from a medical faculty in Indonesia and participated in the questionnaire filling between June 2020 and October 2020. This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach and conducted using primary data (online questionnaire Results: One hundred forty-nine students (149) of Co-Assistant students from several medical faculties all over Indonesia met the inclusive criteria. The samples were dominated by female respondents at 103 students (69.1%), while the male respondent accounted for only 46 students (30.9%). The first year of the Co-Assistant program with 94 respondents (63.1%) followed by the second year of the Co-Assistant program with 55 respondents (36.9%). The highest mean score in the fear zone came from the "first year of Co-Assistant program" group and the highest mean score in the learning and growth zone came from the "second year of Co-Assistant program" group. Conclusion: The highest mean score in the fear zone came from the "first year of Co-Assistant program" group and the highest mean score in the learning and growth zone came from the "second year of Co-Assistant program" group.

Abstract

Background. Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (PARDS) is considered to occur due to direct lung injury and indirect lung injury. The research aims to describe the causes of PARDS in patients treated at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan in 2017-2020. Method. This type of research is a retrospective descriptive study with a cross-sectional study design uses secondary data in the form of medical records. The population of this study were all PICU patients aged 1 month – 18 years at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan in 2017-2020 using consecutive sampling technique. Results. Of the 100 PICU patients, there were 55 male patients with the most age group was <12 months. The most common mode of ventilation used is 80 invasive mechanical ventilation and duration of ventilation used has a mean value of 17.72 days. A mean value of Length of stay (LOS) patient was 25.47 days. Based on the Oxygenation Index (OI), of the 80 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation, most patients were 57 at risk PARDS, meanwhile, based on Oxygen Saturation Index (OSI) categories, of the 20 patients with non-invasive mechanical ventilation, most patients were 15 at risk PARDS. Most caused by indirect lung injury, namely 51 (51%), direct lung injury 47 (47%), and due to complications of using a ventilator as much as 2 (2%). Conclusion. The most common direct lung injury factor is the primary pulmonary infection, aspiration, trauma, and other factors. The most common indirect lung injury factor is sepsis, then central nervous system (CNS) disorders, postoperatively, and other factors.

Abstract

Frailty is a physical aging syndrome characterized by health vulnerability. Diagnosis is established incorrectly based on three or more of the five criteria: weakness, decreased walking speed, fatigue, decreased physical activity, and weight loss. Sirtuin 1 plays a role in weakness, particularly in the elderly, acting as a protective factor during weakness, and its activation could provide a novel therapeutic approach. However, research in this area is still very limited. A cross-sectional method with observation or measurement of study subjects was employed in this research, involving a total of 118 elderly subjects selected through non-probability sampling. Pearson correlation test indicates a relationship between the polymorphism genotype (rs2273773) in the SIRT1 gene and the frailty scale (p-value < 0.05), while no relationship was found between plasma SIRT1 levels and the frailty scale (p-value > 0.05). Furthermore, the F-test reveals a significant simultaneous relationship between the polymorphism genotype (rs2273773) and plasma SIRT1 levels with frailty (p-value < 0.05).
