Abstract

Early diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis is still difficult to make and 30-40% of cases do not show typical classic symptoms. The negative appendectomy rate and the risk of perforation reach 20% so that new, easy, inexpensive and accurate additional examination is needed. This study aimed to compare platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values of appendicitis and control patients. This study is retrospective case control study. Differences in MPV and PDW levels in patients with appendicitis and controls were analyzed with a t-test and determination of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the two markers in appendicitis diagnosis were performed by ROC analysis The mean MPV appendicitis was significantly lower (p <0.05) compared to controls (8.3 ± 1.9; 9.2 ± 1.5) while PDW of appendicitis patients did not differ significantly from controls (10.4 ± 1, 4, 10.7 ± 2.4; p> 0.05). AUC MPV as a diagnostic tool for appendicitis 0.619 with a normal limit of 6.6 fl has a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 30%. MPV can be used for the diagnosis of appendicitis with a normal limit of 6.6 fl having a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 30%. There was no significant difference between PDW of appendicitis patients with controls. There was no significant difference between MPV levels of patients with simple appendicitis and complications.

Abstract

Vaccination is one of the recommended way to eradicate Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, there are still many people who refuse to get vaccinated. One of the causes is anxiety about the side effects that occur after vaccination. With this misinformation about vaccines, public anxiety is getting higher, so that more and more people are hesitant to get vaccinated. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of anxiety related to vaccines in medical students who have more knowledge about vaccines than the general public society. The anxiety assessment method used was the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS) questionnaire. There were 108 medical clerkship students in this study, consisting of 25 male respondents and 83 female respondents, aged between 21-27 years. Based on the HARS-score obtained, it showed that all respondents were in the low or minimal anxiety range. Aspects of anxiety predominately appeared in the pre-vaccination phase. The differences between men and women were influenced by hormonal fluctuations and conditions before vaccination, such as stress, workload, knowledge capacity, and information obtained related to vaccination.
