ABSTRACT The skin is the largest organ in the human body and acts as the body's defense against external agents such as microorganisms, UV radiation, and physical and chemical stimuli. One of the parameters most often used to assess skin barrier function, both in healthy skin and in certain diseases, is to assess skin moisture or hydration measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin ca…
Abstract Maxillofacial fracture is one of the most common forms of trauma and becomes one of the causes of disability and death in the world. Mandibular fractures occur around 15.5—59% of total maxillofacial fracture cases and becoming the second most common maxillofacial fracture cases. As the only one mobile facial bone, the mandible has an important role in the processes of speaking, expr…
ABSTRACT Stunting is a health problem that does not arise suddenly. However, the incidence of stunting can start from the period before conception to the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Referring to the definition of the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK), that life begins during pregnancy, where this period is a critical period in determining the quality of the baby born. Based on this statement, i…
ABSTRACT Preeklampsia is characterized by a systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg in two separate measurements with a minimum interval of 4 hours, after the 20th week of pregnancy in women who were normotensive before pregnancy, accompanied by proteinuria. There are several risk factors for the occurrence of preeclampsia, and one of them is antena…
ABSTRACT Stunting is a problem of considerable concern in developing countries, especially Indonesia, because stunting can threaten the quality of a country's human resources. The incidence of stunting is closely related to the risk factors that cause it. Mothers as the main caregivers of a stunted child must understand the risk factors for stunting so that stunting does not happen again and …
ABSTRACT Stroke is generally divided into two main types, namely ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke has a worse functional and clinical status than ischemic stroke so the incidence of disability and death is higher in hemorrhagic stroke. Knowing the clinical signs and symptoms of hemorrhagic stroke can help make a diagnosis, although imaging is still the gold standard for making a …
ABSTRACT Cervical carcinoma is a malignancy of cervical epithelial cells with a high incidence and mortality rate. The majority of cases of cervical carcinoma are caused by HPV16 and HPV18 infections. Based on the prognosis, HPV16 has better prognosis than HPV18. The difference in prognosis indicates differences in biological processes due to differences in gene expression levels between the t…
ABSTRACT Inulin is a natural polysaccharide from carbohydrates that can improve glucose metabolism, thereby reducing the risk of Diabetes Melitus (DM). Inulin is also degraded into short-chain fatty acids that can reduce cholesterol synthesis so that the occurrence of atherosclerosis in DM patients can be prevented. This study used dahlia tuber inulin extract to see the effect of dahlia tuber …
ABSTRACT The incidence of short toddlers or what is known as stunting is one of the current issues of particular concern in developing countries, especially Indonesia. Breastfeeding mothers take a major role in providing nutritious food intake and ensuring that the child’s health is maintained. Therefore, this study aims to identify risk factors for stunting from the aspect of breastfeeding…
ABSTRACT The vast amount of medical literature is published and doctors are encouraged to read more than one research report every half hour. Meanwhile, doctors have limited time to get the latest information amidst their busy lives. On the other hand, doctors and health care practitioners receive many questions regarding decision making in patient care. Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is th…
ABSTRACT The use of digital histology atlases as an alternative self-learning medium can assist students in overcoming difficulties in studying histology materials. The quality of learning media is a key factor in the success of education. Therefore, evaluating learning media using usability assessment is necessary as an important parameter to assess the quality of the created learning med…
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease is a damaged kidney with abnormalities within the kidney structure and function that lasts for ≥3 months, based on the pathological abnormalities or other signs of damage accompanied by a decreasing Glomerular Filtration Rate with a value of 120 mg/dL, 56.3% had creatinine levels of >8 mg/dL, 58.3% had normal-category sodium levels, and 54.2% had normal-catego…
ABSTRACT Introduction: Anxiety and depression can be found in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and affect motivation to undergo HD. These can be related to certain factors, namely gender, age, occupation, length of HD. Objective: To determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in CKD patients undergoing HD and associated factors. Methods: This c…
ABSTRACT Cervical carcinoma is an epithelial malignancy in the cervix, primarily caused by HPV infection. The main HPV types responsible for cervical carcinoma are HPV-16 and HPV-18. Between these two infections, there are differences in distribution and prognosis in cervical carcinoma. This study identifies differentially expressed genes between HPV-16 and HPV-18 infections based on their mol…
ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive autoimmune disease with chronic inflammation that can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints, especially in the hands, feet, and knees. This study aims to determine the clinical and laboratory features in patients with rheumatoid arthritis at the Arifin Achmad Regional General Hospital from 2019-2022.
