IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in educational institutions across the country, prompting medical schools to adopt online learning systems. This study aims to determine impact on medical education and the medical student’s attitude, practice, mental health after 1 year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia.MethodsThis study utilized a cross-sectional design. An online questionnaire was distributed digitally to 49 medical schools in Indonesia from February–May 2021. A total of 7,949 medical students participated in this study. Sampling was carried out based on a purposive technique whose inclusion criteria were active college students. This research used questionnaires distributed in online version among 49 medical faculties that belong to The Association of Indonesian Private Medical Faculty. Instruments included demographic database, medical education status, experience with medical tele-education, ownership types of electronic devices, availability of technologies, programs of education methods, career plans, attitudes toward pandemic, and the mental health of respondents. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis was conducted to determine the association of variables. All statistical analyses using (IBM) SPSS version 22.0.ResultsMost of the respondents were female (69.4%), the mean age was 20.9 ± 2.1 years. More than half of the respondents (58.7%) reported that they have adequate skills in using digital devices. Most of them (74%) agreed that e-learning can be implemented in Indonesia. The infrastructure aspects that require attention are Internet access and the type of supporting devices. The pandemic also has an impact on the sustainability of the education program. It was found that 28.1% were experiencing financial problems, 2.1% postponed their education due to this problems. The delay of the education process was 32.6% and 47.5% delays in the clinical education phase. Around 4% student being sick, self-isolation and taking care sick family. the pandemic was found to affect students’ interests and future career plans (34%). The majority of students (52.2%) are concerned that the pandemic will limit their opportunities to become specialists. Nearly 40% of respondents expressed anxiety symptoms about a variety of issues for several days. About a third of respondents feel sad, depressed, and hopeless for a few days.ConclusionThe infrastructure and competency of its users are required for E-learning to be successful. The majority of medical students believe that e-learning can be adopted in Indonesia and that their capacity to use electronic devices is good. However, access to the internet remains a problem. On the other side, the pandemic has disrupted the education process and mental health, with fears of being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the loss of opportunities to apply for specialty training, and the potential for increased financial difficulties among medical students. Our findings can be used to assess the current educational process in medical schools and maximize e-learning as an alternative means of preparing doctors for the future.
Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for causing death at a young age. The World Health Organization reported in 2002 that 4.4 million deaths were caused by hypercholesterolemia, or 7.9% of the total number of deaths at a young age. Hypercholesterolemia is a condition in which cholesterol levels in the body exceed normal levels. One way that can be done to prevent hypercholesterolemia is to control diet, namely by fasting. Dawood’s fasting is one of the obligatory fasts of Islamwhich is done with one-day fasting and one-day not. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Dawood’s fasting in reducing total blood cholesterol levels in Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School students in Surabaya.Methods: This study was designed with a quasi-experimental study research method using a comparative pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design. The sample in this study was divided into two groups, namely one control group and one treatment group from the sample selected by purposive sampling. The population studied were students of the Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School in Surabaya. Result: The results of statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed an effect of Dawood’s fasting in reducing total blood cholesterol levels in Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School students in Surabaya.Conclusion: From research result that has been done, it can be concluded that there is an effect of Dawood’s fasting in reducing total blood cholesterol levels in Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School students in Surabaya. Keywords: Dawood’s fasting, total blood cholesterol.
Background: Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital intestinal motility disorder that causes functional intestinal obstruction due to the absence of enteric ganglion cells in the distal intestine. The management of each case of Hirschsprung's disease is surgery, where surgery on the digestive tract increases the occurrence of surgical site infections. Disturbances in the gut cause decreased resistance to infection, delayed cognitive development, and problems with nutritional status. Methods: This study was a descriptive and analytical observational study, where the primary data were taken from the registration data of Hirschprung's disease patients at RSPAL dr. Ramelan Surabaya in 2016-2020. The nutritional status of the patient was determined by plotting the weight per age curve according to WHO for children aged 0-5 years. Results: Observations of 38 patients who met the study requirements, obtained 4 patients who had poor nutritional status and 1 patient who had excess nutritional status, none of which experienced complications in the form of surgical wound infections. In 10 patients with poor nutritional status, 2 experienced complications in the form of surgical wound infection and 23 patients with good nutritional status, 1 experienced complications in the form of surgical wound infection. The results of the contingency coefficient correlation test showed P-value = 0.408 (p>α). Conclusion: There was no relationship between the nutritional status of Hirschprung's disease patients with surgical wound infections at RSPAL dr. Ramelan Surabaya Keywords: Hirschsprung's disease, nutritional status of children, surgical site infection.
Dyslipidemia is an abnormal lipid metabolism which may cause fat degeneration on hepatocytes cells and elevated triglyceride serum level. Dyslipidemia can be prevented by the consumption of high antioxidant food. Noni(Morinda citrifolia) contains many antioxidant such as flavanoid, kuersetin, tannin, and saponin, which are able to prohibit the elevation of ROS.This research is aimed to find out the effect of noni(Morinda citrifolia) extract in reducing the number of hepatocyte’s cells with fat degeneration and decreasing the triglyceride level which is elevated due to high cholesterol diet induction.In this study white rats divided randomly into 4 groups, control group (K-), high cholesterol diet induced group (K+), high cholesterol diet induced with 100 mg/Kg BW noni extract group (P1), high cholesterol diet induced with 200 mg/Kg BW noni extract group (P2). The result shows that noni extract with dose 100 mg/Kg BW and 200 mg/Kg BWcan reduce the number of hepatocytes cells with fat degeneration (p= 0,026 and p=0,027) and decrease the level of triglyceride serum (p=0,036 and p=0,010).The conclusion is noni extract with dose 100 mg/KgBW reduces effectively the number of hepatocyte’s cells with fat degeneration and decreases the level of triglyceride serum which increase because of high cholesterol diet.
<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p> Diabetes melitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels caused by disruption of the pancreas in producing insulin. Alloxan is a substrate that can trigger the condition of hyperglycemia which can cause diabetes because of its toxic nature to pancreatic beta cells. Damage to pancreatic beta cells is caused by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which causes necrosis in the pancreatic beta cells. Soursop leaf extract (Annona muricata L.) has antioxidants such as flavonoids and tannins which can inhibit ROS increase.</p><p> The aim of this study to find out about the effect of soursop leaf (Annona muricata Linn) extract in repaired to pancreatic tissue damage of male wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by alloxan. This study used 24 male Wistar rats, divided into 3 groups : K(-) group that no treatment, K(+) group that induced by alloxan dose 150mg/kgBW and K(p) group that induced by alloxan dose 150mg/kgBW and given soursop leaf extract dose 150mg/kgBW. The result of this study showed that there was significant difference (p = 0.001) of pancreatic tissue damage measured by histopathologic score between group of no treatment rats compared to the group of rats induced by alloxan. There was a significant difference of pancreatic tissue damage measured by histopatology score group of rats induced by alloxan compared to group of rats induced by alloxan and given soursop leaf extract So it can be concluded that the administration of alloxan significantly increases the pancreatic tissue damage and the administration of soursop leaf extract can improve pancreatic tissue damage measured by histopathology score because soursop leaf extract contains flavonoids and tannins which function as antioxidants.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords </strong>: Diabetes Melitus, Alloxan, Annona muricata Linn, Pancreatic Histopathology.</p>
