Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally with an incidence of adolescents and young adults in Indonesia as many as 153.705 cases. Central obesity is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease due to increase in fasting blood glucose levels, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and blood pressure. Aims: to determine the correlation between waist circumference and fasting blood glucose levels, triglyceride levels, and blood pressure in young adults. Method: This analytic study with a cross-sectional approach involved 53 young adult subjects (18-25 years old). Waist circumference is measured using a tape measure. Blood sugar and triglyceride levels were measured using Cobas® 6000 analyzer machine from blood samples of subjects after fasting for 8-12 hours. Blood pressure data are obtained by measurement using aneroid sphygmomanometer. Results: In this study, the mean waist circumference of the research subjects was 77,4 cm. No correlation was found between waist circumference and fasting blood sugar levels (p = 0,159). However, a positive correlation was found between waist circumference and triglyceride levels (p = 0,008; r = 0,332), between waist circumference and systolic blood pressure (p = 0,049; r = 0,230), and between waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0,017; r = 0,293). Conclusion: waist circumference is positively correlated with triglyceride levels and blood pressure, but does not correlate with fasting blood sugar levels.

Abstract

ABSTRACTS Background: The perceived competence of newly graduated doctors who had undergone clinical practice in their first year could give insight into curriculum accomplishment. Objective: This study aimed to understand alums' perceptions of their performance in tropical infection cases. Methods: Alums who have finished their internship and have been practicing as doctors for less than a year were respondents to this study. We purposefully selected eight respondents based on gender, workplace, and work location. We conducted in-depth interviews by phone. The interview was recorded, and the conversation was transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis is carried out on transcription by coding and categories. Results: The interview results obtained two significant themes: the perception of competence related to tropical medicine cases and the perception of curriculum implementation. Cases and types of skills influenced perceptions of competence. Respondents perceived curriculum implementation as insufficient and influenced by case exposure, learning methods, and the national final exam. Conclusion: Providing varied cases, improving feedback from clinical supervisors, and initiating early clinical experience are necessary to improve tropical infection competencies. Keywords: perception, medical student, tropical infection ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Persepsi kompetensi alumni yang baru bekerja dapat memberikan informasi mengenai capaian kurikulum. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan gambaran mengenai persepsi alumni terhadap kompetensinya dalam menghadapi kasus infeksi tropis. Metode: Alumni yang sudah selesai menjalani internship dan telah berpraktek sebagai dokter kurang dari setahun menjadi responden dalam penelitian ini. Terdapat delapan responden yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling, berdasarkan jenis kelamin, tempat kerja, dan lokasi kerja. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam menggunakan panggilan telepon. Hasil wawancara direkam dan ditranskripsi secara verbatim.Analisis tematik dilakukan terhadap transkripsi dengan cara membuat koding dan kategori. Hasil: Hasil wawancara didapatkan dua tema besar yaitu persepsi kompetensi terkait kasus infeksi tropis dan persepsi mengenai implementasi kurikulum. Kasus dan jenis ketrampilan mempengaruhi persepsi mengenai kompetensi. Responden mempersepsikan implementasi kurikulum infeksi tropis masih kurang mencukupi. Persepsi ini dipengaruhi oleh paparan kasus, metode belajar, dan ujian kompetensi dokter. Kesimpulan: Perbaikan metode pengajaran, memperbanyak kasus, serta umpan balik dari supervisor perlu untuk meningkatkan performa kompetensi kedokteran tropis. Kata Kunci: persepsi; mahasiswa kedokteran; infeksi tropis

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) which often attacks the lung parenchyma and can also attack other organs. Changes can be found in the hematological profile of TB patients both at the time of diagnosis and after treatment. Objective: This study was conducted to obtain routine hematological profiles of pulmonary TB patients before and after treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs for 3 months, 4 months, and 5 months. Methods: This study was an observational descriptive study. The population in this study was pulmonary TB patients at Martha Friska Hospital and Hermina Medan Hospital for the period October 2021-August 2022. The samples in this study were taken from medical record data of all pulmonary TB patients at Martha Friska Hospital and Hermina Medan Hospital for the period of October 2021-August 2022 (total sampling). Results: In this study, 39 research subjects were obtained, age range of 15-79 years. Before treatment, the majority of patients had anemia (76.92%), leukocytosis (61.54%), normal platelets (66.67%), and elevated ESR (53.85%). After 3 months of treatment, anemia was experienced by 30%, leukocytosis by 0%, normal platelets by 80%, and elevated ESR by 20% of patients. After 4 months of treatment, anemia was experienced by 52.17%, leukocytosis by 4.35%, normal platelets by 65.22%, and elevated ESR by 4.35% of patients. After 5 months of treatment, anemia was experienced by 50%, leukocytosis by 0%, platelets normal by 83.33%, and elevated ESR by 0% of patients. Conclusion: The majority of patients develop anemia, leukocytosis, and elevated ESR before treatment with antituberculosis drugs. There was a decrease in the proportion of patients who developed anemia, leukocytosis, and an elevated ESR after treatment with antituberculosis drugs for 3 months, 4 months, and 5 months.

Abstract

Sampai saat ini multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan global. Fokus utama pengobatan MDR-TB bergantung pada kombinasi antibiotik sebagai terapi penyembuhan bakteriologis yang dapat menyebabkan beberapa efek samping yang merugikan. Penelitian menggunakan sel punca mesenkimal mulai dikembangkan sebagai bentuk terapi baru. Sel punca mesenkimal berfungsi sebagai imunomodulator dan mampu menyekresikan berbagai jenis sitokin, salah satunya IFN-γ. Pada MDR-TB, IFN-γ dapat meningkatkan respons imun seluler untuk mengaktifkan makrofag sebagai penghancur mikroba. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kadar IFN-γ pada medium kultur antara mikroenkapsulasi sel punca mesenkimal yang disalut (coated) dan tidak disalut (non-coated) lisat konsentrat trombosit sebagai studi preliminari terapi seluler MDR-TB. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik-observasional. Kadar IFN-γ diukur menggunakan spektrofotometer dengan panjang gelombang 450nm. Data yang didapat kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh sekresi IFN-γ pada kelompok non-coated pada hari ke-2, ke-7, ke-14, dan ke-21 masing-masing sebanyak 0,018 pg/mL, 0,0616 pg/mL, 2,2735 pg/mL, dan 2,2735 pg/mL, sedangkan pada kelompok coated diperoleh data pada hari ke-2, ke-7, ke-14, dan ke-21 masing-masing sebanyak 0 pg/mL, 0 pg/mL, 0,0512 pg/mL, dan 1,7165 pg/mL. Hasil uji Mann-Whitney menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan kadar IFN-γ pada medium kultur mikroenkapsulasi sel punca mesenkimal coated dan non- coated.

Abstract

Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) merupakan kondisi di mana pasien tuberkulosis resistan terhadap minimal dua jenis obat anti tuberkulosis. Pasien MDR-TB sering mengalami efek samping sehingga terapi alternatif perlu dipikirkan. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) dan sel punca hematopoietik CD34+ dianggap sebagai alternatif potensial. MSC memiliki sifat imunomodulator, sedangkan CD34+ meningkatkan angiogenesis. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) merupakan sitokin proinflamasi yang berperan dalam regulasi imunitas tubuh. Penggunaan coating dengan lisat konsentrat trombosit dan mikroenkapsulasi dapat meningkatkan efektivitas terapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui rerata kadar IFN-γ pada medium kultur mikroenkapsulasi MSC dan CD34+ dengan coating lisat trombosit. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif observasional. Sampel MSC dan CD34+ yang digunakan masing-masing berasal dari tali pusat dan darah asal tali pusat bayi baru lahir. Kadar IFN-γ diukur menggunakan spektrofotometer dengan panjang gelombang 450nm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar IFN-γ yang disekresikan pada hari ke-2 berjumlah 0,0597 pg/mL, mengalami penurunan pada hari ke-7 dan hari ke-14, kemudian meningkat pada hari ke-21 sebanyak 2,7337 pg/mL.
