Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia or neonatal jaundice is a common disorder and considered as one of the main problems in neonatal period worldwide with high incidence, especially in Asia and Southeast Asia region. This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia including the prevalence and frequency of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia causes at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2012. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital using the crosssectional method. Four hundred and twenty five cases of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in hospitalized and outpatients, from 1 January to 31 December 2012 were included in this descriptive study. Results: The prevalence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was about 4.08%. Causes were identified in 95 cases and the most common cause of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia during this period of time was physiological causes (23.2%). Other causes included neonatal hepatitis (14.7%), other hemolytic causes (13.7%), infection (12.6%), ABO incompatibility (11.6%) and breastfeeding (11.6%). Conclusions: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia cases are common and remain as one of the neonatal problems in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, thus prevention and proper management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia should be implemented.

Background: The aging process is recognizable through bodily functions dicreases caused by molecular and cellular damage. Elderly is the most affected population by this aging process, such as the majority of professors in Universitas Padjadjaran. In elderly, that tissue oxigenation is trend to decrease due to reduction of both hemoglobin level and oxygen saturation. Aim: This study aimed to find out correlation between hemoglobin level and oxygen saturation in the elderly professors of Universitas Padjadjaran. Method: This study analyzed secondary data from health check-up result of the professors. 108 data of the professors met the inclusion criteria and were used in this study. This data underwent the normality test ( Male = 84 subjects, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Female = 24 subjects, using Shapiro-Wilk test.). Spearman’s Rank correlation test was used for total subjects and male professors group, while Pearson correlation test was used for female professors group. Results: Correlation test between hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation resulted in an insignificant result in male professors (r = 0.028 ; p = 0.801; z = 0.200 ; 0.00 ), female professors (r = 0.132; p = 0.538; z = 0.582; 0.272), and also in total subjects (r = 0.036; p = 0.712; z = 0.200; 0.00 ). Conclusion: There is no correlation between hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation in the elderly professors of Universitas Padjadjaran.

The increasing number of elderly and elderly life expectancy is a challenge for health workers. Decreased cardiac endurance, muscle strength and increased incidence of inflammation will occur in the elderly as we get older. health cardio exercises series-I is an aerobic exercise that has moderate intensity and is carried out for 30 minutes, research is needed to analyze the effect on cardiac endurance, muscle strength and decrease plasma TNF-α levels in the elderly. Research design with experimental method, pre-test and posttest design approach. The study was conducted for 4 weeks on 25 samples which were divided into 3 groups of frequency of health cardio exercises series-I to measure endurance of the heart. A 6-minute road test and muscle strength were used for hand grip strength dynamometer, test back and leg dynamometer. Measurement of plasma TNF-α levels is carried out using the Elisa method. The data was then analyzed using paired t-test to see differences before and after health cardio exercises series-I. The results showed health cardio exercises series-I performed 3x / mg can increase the heart's endurance compared to the frequency of 4x / mg and 5x / mg (-16.11 vs 15.62 vs -47.62 meters). health cardio exercises series-I frequency of 3x / mg and 4x / mg can increase back muscle strength (pvalue= 0.019, p <0.05) and the frequency of 5x /mg can increase the strength of attractive shoulder muscles. (p-value=0.033, p<0.05). Health cardio exercises series-I performed 3x / mg, 4x / mg and 5x / mg did not have a significant effect on plasma TNF-α protein expression in the elderly (0.506 vs 0.856 vs. 0.382, p<0.05). It is suggested that the elderly can do I-1 series heart exercise with a frequency of 3x / mg to increase the heart's lung endurance and back muscle strength, a health cardio exercises series-I 4x / mg series to increase muscle strength of the back back, a series of health cardio exercises series-I frequency of 5x / mg to increase attractive shoulder muscle strength.
