Abstract

Background: One of the conditions of pain in the neck area where there is a stiff neck, so sometimes there is pain radiating from the shoulder to the hand, the symptom is often called cervical syndrome. This condition occurs because the vertebral root is compressed for a long time in the use of activities. In the long term, the pain can even radiate to both shoulders and even to the arms of the arch, this situation will result in abnormal and rapid fatigue. According to studies conducted by researchers, this situation may be prevented by giving a special cervical collar design to Tafidz Ouran students. In this study, it will be investigated how effective the special collar model is to overcome the problems/prevention of cervical syndrome for Tafidz Ouran students in Karanganyar. The purpose of this study was to determine how effective a special cervical collar design is to reduce pain in cervical syndrome.Subjects and Method: This research is a Randomized Controll Trial (RCT) where in this study before being randomized in determining the control and treatment groups, matching was done first. In the control group in this study were students who used regular collars (collars sold in the market) and in the intervention group were given special collars. The sample in this study was the students of the Tahfidz boarding school in the Karanganyar area as many as 160 students who experienced cervical syndrome. Each group in this study amounted to 80 students. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. The variables in this study, the dependent variable is the cervical syndrome condition of the Tafidz Quran students and the use of a special cervical collar model as the independent variable. Analysis of the data using the Independent samples t test if the data is normal, and using the Mann Whitney test if the data is not normal.Results: After the intervention, it was shown that pain in the special cervical collar group (mean = 2.51; SD = 0.50) was lower than that in the regular collar group (mean = 5.50; SD = 0.59) and was statistically significant (p value = 0.000).Conclusion: The use of a special cervical collar is better than a regular cervical collar to reduce neck pain.Keywords: cervical syndrome, cervical collar, special cervical collarCorrespondence: Alfan Zubaidi.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint has the highest prevalence among all types of rheumatic diseases. The most common symptom of knee OA is pain around the joint. Patients with OA require long treatment, especially using analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Turmeric is efficacious as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica) on pain in patients with knee OA compared to placebo and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), based on the results of a number of previous similar studies.Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: patients with knee OA. Intervention: turmeric extract. Comparison: placebo and NSAIDs. Outcome: pain reduction. The articles used in this study were obtained from three databases, namely Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct. Keywords to search for articles: “Knee Osteoarthritis” OR “Knee OA” AND “Curcuma longa” OR “Curcuma domestica” OR “Turmeric extract” AND “Placebo” OR “NSAID” AND “pain” OR “visual analogue scale” OR “ VASE". The articles included are full-text with RCT study designs from 2011 to 2021. The selection of articles is carried out using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: A total of 15 RCT studies were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. Data collected from 10 studies showed that patients with knee OA who received turmeric extract experienced 1.60 units lower joint pain than placebo (SMD= -1.60; 95% CI= -2.23 to -0.97; p<0.001). Data from 5 studies showed that patients with knee OA who received turmeric extract experienced 0.06 units higher joint pain than NSAIDs. The comparison between the turmeric extract group and the NSAID group did not show any significant difference (SMD= 0.06; 95% CI= -0.10 to -0.22; p= 0.490).Conclusion: Administration of turmeric extract was more effective than placebo and not inferior to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in reducing pain in patients with knee OA.Keywords: osteoarthritis, turmeric, painCorrespondence: Danang Ardiyanto.

Abstract

Background: There has been an increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) caused by life style such as sedentary behavior and western diet. Metabolic syndrome causes degeneration in ren’s structure and processes the elimination of by product in metabolism, which is uric acid. Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves contain antioxidant that can repair damages caused by MS. Studies about improvement of ren’s structure and uric acid level related to Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves’ consumption has not been found yet. Therefore, this study was intended to examine the effects of ethanolic extract in Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves to uric acid and glomerular surface area in male wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus) with induced metabolic syndrome model.Method: This study is an experimental laboratory study. The subjects of this study consisted of 30 rats which were divided into 5 groups with 6 in each group. K1 is control group, K2 is MS group, and K3, K4, and K5 are MS groups given variety of ethanolic extract doses. The induction of MS was done by giving high-fat diet in 28 days and injection of streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NA) in the 25th day. Rats in group K3, K4, and K5 were given doses of 150, 250, and 350 mg/kgBW in 28 days.Results: The administration of high-fat diet for 28 days and injection of STZ-NA caused MS condition in rats.  Repeated ANOVA and One-Way Anova test showed that the administration of ethanolic extract in Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves with doses of 150, 250, and 350 mg/kgBW in 28 days decreased uric acid significantly (p= 0.001; p=0.001; p= 0.001). Another result also found that ethanolic extract from Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves with doses of 250 and 350 mg/kgBW increased area of glomerular surface area in rats significantly.Conclusion: The administration of ethanolic extract from Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves with doses of 150, 250, and 350 mg/kgBW for 28 days decreased uric acid level in rats. Ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves 250 and 350 mg/kgBw doses increase glomerular surface area.Keywords: Moringa Oleifera, uric acid, glomerular cross-sectional area, metabolic syndrome, kidneyCorrespondence: Muhammad Dzaki Darmawan.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) is an extremely rare vascular anomaly due to a direct connection between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, potentially causing irreversible damages to the systemic circulation. This condition requires a prompt diagnostic approach to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.Case Report: A 53-year-old Indonesian female was referred to our department with unexplained dyspnoea and cyanosis. Physical examination revealed low oxygen saturation and remarkable finding on pulmonary auscultation. Further investigation revealed the findings suggesting PAVM based on contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) scan, with multiple nidus on bilateral lungs with feeder arteries from the pulmonary artery and draining veins in the pulmonary vein. Hence, this case emphasizes the rare finding of a female PAVMs patient with bilateral PAVMs.Conclusion: CT scan is a reliable and effective imaging approach to establish the diagnosis of PAVMs. This modality should be first considered to visualize PAVMs lesions, particularly in adult patients with unexplained dyspnoea and cyanosis.Keywords: arteriovenous malformations, CT scan, rare case, embolizationCorrespondence: Sony Sutrisno.

Abstract

Background: Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (H. sabdariffa), commonly known as Rosella plants in Indonesia, has had various uses in the food and beverage industry and traditional medicines for hundreds of years. The main compounds of H. sabdariffa have been stated to have anti-obesity effects through its biologically active compounds. This review systematically evaluates the evidence from human randomized clinical trials on the effects of H. sabdariffa extract in obesity, including decreased bodyweight, normalizing the blood lipid profile, and modulating appetite-related biomarkers.Subjects and Method: This review is based on the patient, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) procedure, with the patient is people with obesity, the intervention is the administration of H. sabdariffa extract compared to control that given placebo, and the outcomes are reduced body weight and fat accumulation, normalize blood lipid profiles, and regulate biomarkers related to appetite. Articles used are limited to the publication year between 2013 and 2021. Search is done through PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar with the keywords “hibiscus sabdariffa and obesity”, “hibiscus sabdariffa and lipogenesis”, “hibiscus sabdariffa and energy metabolism”, and “hibiscus sabdariffa and appetite”.Results: The search resulted in 10 studies involving 453 subjects. We proved several significant effects of H. sabdariffa extract on obese subjects. Administration of H. sabdariffa extract for several doses and several days can improve anthropometry measurement, fat accumulation, increased satiety sensation, while the appetite sensation mainly for fatty, sweet, and salty foods was decreased.Conclusion: This review suggests that the benefit of H. sabdariffa to people with obesity are associated with body weight and blood lipid profile-lowering effect; however, more high-quality clinical trials are needed.Keywords: Hibiscus sabdariffa, obesity, appetiteCorrespondence: Suci Anggraini, Masters Program in Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia.
