Abstract

Introduction: Preeclampsia/eclampsia is one of the causes of maternal mortality besides bleeding and infection. The exact etiology of this condition is still unknown. Nutritional status of pregnant women who are overweight can increase the risk. This study aims to determine the correlation between obesity and the severity of preeclampsia/eclampsia through upper arm circumference (UAC) measurement.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytic study. Data on preeclampsia/eclampsia and UAC obtained from patient medical records in Jagir Public Health Center Surabaya. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test.Results: Prevalence of mild preeclampsia was greater than severe preeclampsia (87.5% and 12.5%). The majority of patients with mild preeclampsia have normal UAC size (91.3%). Severe preeclampsia found higher in obesity group than normal nutritional status group (22.2% and 9.1%). From Chi-square test analysis, found that p = 0.557.Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between the nutritional status of pregnant women based on UAC measurement of and the severity of preeclampsia/eclampsia.

Abstract

Introduction: Personality is a behavior and mindset pattern that is typical for each person in responding to every event or stimulus in his environment. Galen's theory has classified personality types into four types they are Sanguinis, Choleric, Melancholy, and Plegmatis. The level of emotional intelligence shows a person's ability to deal with demands and pressures to achieve their best in thinking and behaving appropriately. This study aims to prove the relationship between personality types based on Galen's theory with emotional intelligence level in preclinical medical students.Methods: This study is a comparative study using an online questionnaire instrument on emotional intelligence and personality type tests compiled by Florence Littauer. This research variables are the emotional intelligence level and personality type. This study used data from 100 respondents, then data was analyzed using Chi Square test.Results: From 100 respondents, dominant personality type is Sanguinis 35%, followed by Choleric 13%, Melancholy 27%, and Plegmatis 25%. There were no respondent who showed a low level of emotional intelligence in this study. 64% of respondents have a high level of emotional intelligence, while the remaining 36% have a moderate level. Chi Square test shows p value is 0.032.Conclusion: There is a relationship between personality types based on Galen's theory with emotional intelligence level on medical students in Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga.

Abstract

ABSTARCTIntroductions: One of the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Several studies have shown that a single dose administration of antenatal corticosteroid therapy in women who are at high risk for premature delivery was associated with decreased incidence of RDS. The study aims to determine the effect of antenatal corticosteroid therapy on the incidence of RDS in prematurity in the Department of Child Health Hospital Dr. Soetomo.Methods: Analytic observational case-control design study was used for this research. Samples were taken from the medical records of RDS patients in premature baby and non-RDS with 36 samples in each group.Results: Antenatal corticosteroid therapy has effect in RDS incidence (p = 0.016). While the results of the odds ratio was 0.298 (with 95% CI 0.110 to 0.810), it means that premature infants with antenatal corticosteroid therapy has 0.298 times lower risk than those who were not given antenatal corticosteroid therapy.Conclusion: Antenatal corticosteroid therapy did not provide a direct relathionship to the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants, but it a protective factor that can reduce the incidence of RDS in prematurity.

Abstract

Introduction: Traditional and herbal medicine are two of the primary treatments in a developing country. Both avocado leaf extract and avocado seed extract (Persea americana) have been proven to have an antihyperlipidemic effect in experimental animals. This study was conducted to analyze the effect of avocado leaf and seed extract in a combination form on total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL of hypercholesterolemia mice induced by high fat diet and duck egg yolk.Methods: The sample unit of this study consisted of 25 mice (Mus musculus) and divided into 5 groups: KO1 (control), KO2 (hypercholesterolemia group), KO3 (1st treatment group), KO4 (2nd treatment group), and KO5 (3rd treatment group). The induction phase was done for 35 days, whilst the treatment phase was done for 28 days. All data were analyzed using t test and one-way ANOVA.Results: Administration of the combination including avocado leaf and seed extract (CALSE) in all treatment group proved to decrease total cholesterol and LDL level in mice although it was not statistically significant (p=0,420; p=0,882). Meanwhile, CALSE had a different effect on HDL KO3 level with HDL KO4 and KO5 level, in which HDL KO3 level tended to decrease and HDL KO4 and KO5 level tended to increase.Conclusion: In conclusion, CALSE has the potential to act as an antihyperlipidemic agent which derive from flavonoid and saponin. The potential efficacy might be achieved in a combination rather than in an individual form.

Abstract

Introduction: Limited profile data of Cerebral Palsy (CP) patients in Indonesia leads CP to be a less-known disease. The aim of this study is to describe CP patient’s characteristics, including demographic aspect, gestation and birth history, and CP related condition in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia.Methods: Cross-sectional study using medical records of CP patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital (Surabaya, Indonesia) Outpatient Installation for Pediatric Neurology from January 2016 to June 2018. Data processed descriptively.Results: From total 107 patients, 50 subjects met inclusion criteria. Mean age was 6.16 years old, with domination of male (3:2), live in Surabaya (56%), malnourished (24%), normal birth weight (80.9%), term age of birth (66.7%), spontaneous labor (60%), and also prenatal events as causes of Cerebral Palsy (69.5%). Pneumonia was found to be most among postnatal events leading to Cerebral Palsy (30%). Most of the type was spastic (9:1) with quadriplegic as the dominating one (64%). Congenital malformation was rarely found (38%), but co-morbidities were found in almost all sample (92%).Conclusion: Gestation and birth history of CP patients are mostly ranged normal. Prenatal etiology is found dominating as the cause of CP, therefore emendation in antenatal care (ANC) shall be considered. Analytical study about CP in Indonesia also must be improved because it is still hardly found.

Abstract

Introduction: Until now, cardiovascular complications are still the highest cause of death and disability in DM patients. Hypomagnesemia in DM accelerate atherosclerosis and can cause instability and plaque rupture which can lead to acute coronary syndrome.Methods: Design of this study was observational analytic using a "case control" study involved 76 samples of DM patients, consisting of 38 samples with SKA (+) and 38 samples with SKA (-). Subjects of this study were all DM patients in the period July-December 2018 in the Emergency Room (ER) and Outpatient Installation of Endocrine at the RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, which fulfills the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. Demographic data and clinical characteristics are presented descriptively. If data is normally distributed then an unpaired t test is carried out and if the data is not normally, distributed with Mann Whitney test is performed. The statistical test was stated to be significant if p <0.05. The association between hypomagnesemia and the incidence of ACS a multivariate logistic regression test was performed, the risk number was in the form of odds ratios (OR). Results: This study involved 76 subjects with diabetes mellitus with SKA and non SKA 38 subjects. The mean serum magnesium level in the ACS group was lower than non ACS (1.9 mg / dL vs. 2.1 mg / dL), hypomagnesemia cut-off of <2.08 mg / dL. In this study hypomagnesemia as a risk factor for the incidence of ACS in DM patients with OR 2.8 (CI 1.1-7.6; p = 0.039).Conclusion: Magnesium levels in the ACS group were lower than the non ACS group. Hypomagnesemia Increase The Incidence of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Diabetes Mellitus Patients.
