Background:To be a good athlete, an athlete needs to possess good predominant components of physical fitness. Futsal Team of Universitas Padjadjaran has never won any competition. This study was conducted to identify the predominant component profiles of physical fitness of Futsal Team members of Universitas Padjadjaran. The predominant component profiles were classified based on the Indonesian National Sport Committee (KONI) standard. Methods: This study was carried out at the Faculty of Medicine Student Center of Universitas Padjadjaran in November 2012. Twenty two members of the Futsal Team were enrolled as subjects of the study. The study used the step test to examine aerobic endurance; the leg dynamometer to measure leg muscle strength; the squat jump test to test the leg muscle endurance; the vertical jump test to measure leg muscle power; and the sit and reach test to measure lower extremity flexibility. The data collected were analyzed using percentage. Results: Leg muscle strength was mostly in the fair category (95%). Leg muscle power was mostly in the good category (41%). Leg muscle endurance was mostly in the good category (82%). Leg flexibility was mostly in the excellent category (91%) and aerobic endurance was mostly in the good category (41%). Conclusions: Only several members of Universitas Padjadjaran Futsal Team have an excellent physical fitness profile. Most of the members fell into the fair and good category.

The aim of this study was to discover the characteristics of bacterial corneal ulcer patients in the National Eye Center, Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung.. Methods: A total of 99 medical records consisted of patients diagnosed with bacterial corneal ulcer were selected in this descriptive study. The clinical patterns and predisposing factors of the patients were analyzed. The study also identified the pathogenic bacteria of the cases. This study was carried out in the National Eye Center, Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung from January to December 2011 Clinical patterns. The collected data were analyzed and presented in frequency tabulation. Results: The male to female ratio was 2:1, with the average age of 44.4 years. The most common presenting symptom was eye pain (70.7%). Most patients came with decreased visual acuity that was categorized as (near-) blindness (78.8%) and the location of the ulcer was in central area of the cornea (56.5%). The most common predisposing factor was ocular trauma (74.7%) that was caused by exposed to plants. Singlebacterial infection (67.7%) was predominant, with 56 cases (56.6%) of Gram-positive cocci infection. Conclusions: Bacterial corneal ulcer contributes to 48.8% of all microbial corneal ulcers. Most patients came with mild condition, centralized location, and poor visual function. The common predisposing factor was trauma associated with exposed to plants.

Background: Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) that is prevalent to the blindness risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers Proliferative DR one of the priorities of eye diseases. This disease is caused by angiogenesis brought about by Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF). The Anti-VEGF Bevacizumab (Avastin) injection is considered sufficient in preventing proliferative DR patients from blindness. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of patients with proliferative DR underwent Anti-VEGF injection at Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted from August−October 2014 using 40 medical records of patients with proliferative DR underwent Anti-VEGF Bevacizumab (Avastin) injection at the Cicendo Eye Hospital Bandung from January−December 2013. Inclusion criteria were the patients underwent anti-VEGF injection with complete medical records with minimum follow up of 3 weeks. Results: Among 40 patients, 55% were male and 45% were female. Furthermore, there was 100% found for DM Type 2. Moreover, random blood glucose varied among 140-200mg/dl (50%), while the hypertension was mostly at stage 2. Some of these patients had proliferative DR with vitreal hemorrhage (25%), macular edema (40%), and/or tractionalablasio retina (22.5%). Most patients had an improvement in their visual acuity (60%). Conclusions: Most of patients are male, aged 50-59 years old, random blood glucose among 140-200mg/dl, followed DM Type 2 and hypertension stage 2. Anti-VEGF injection improves visual acuity.

Workers of PT. Grandtex is divided into three different divisions; nonproduction division, weaving division, and spinning division. These workers have different activities, job processes, and work environments, especially in the cotton dust exposure rate. Exposure to cotton dust can influence physical working capacity. This study aimed to find out physical working capacity differences between workers of nonproduction division, weaving division, and spinning division. A comparative analytic survey study is conducted on 112 subjects, which consists of 32 nonproduction division workers, 40 weaving division workers, and 40 spinning division workers. Subjects are picked by the stratified random sampling method. Physical working capacity measured by using an anaerobic capacity parameter (V̇O2 max)with the Astrand-Rhyming chair test. The homogeneity of the result is tested by the Levene test and the normality is tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov. To find out the differences, those data are analyzed by one-way ANOVA test (p<0,05) and followed by Duncan test to measure how big the differences are. The result of data analyzed with ANOVA indicated that there is a significant difference in physical working capacity (V̇O2 max)(p=0,000) among workers of nonproduction, weaving, and spinning division. This result was also followed by Duncan’s test suggesting thatthe physical working capacity (V̇O2 max) of nonproduction workers are bigger than weaving production workers and also bigger than spinning workers (35,78 ± 7,27 vs 31,50 ± 7,59 vs 28,03 ± 5,92 ml/kg BW/minute). From this study, we can conclude that the physical working capacity (V̇O2 max) of nonproduction workers is better than weaving and spinning division workers.
