Objective: Ectopic pregnancy is a leading cause of maternal death during the first trimester of pregnancy, it can cause infertility and even death as a result of massive bleeding of the mother. Based on those fact, study of ectopic pregnancy is needed.Materials and Methods: This study used retrospective design and total sampling to collect the data and present it as a descriptive – analytical result.Results: Of the 98 samples, as many as 30.6% of the patients age was in the range of 26 - 30 years, there was 16.3% of patients with unmarried status, hormonal contraception was more often used by patients than intrauterine device, there were 7% of patients with recurrent ectopic pregnancy, as many as 12.1% of patients had a history of surgery in the abdomen or pelvic area, ectopic pregnancy was most common in first pregnancies, and there were 26.4% of patient found with Infection.Conclusion: Ectopic pregnancy has many risk factors, Ectopic pregnancy could be cause by solely one risk factor or more (multifactorial), The most commonly found risk factor was infection.
Brain tumor is a condition affecting many people worldwide.Patients often had similar functional neurological symptoms even if the type of tumors diagnosed were entirely different at a later stage.Some of the neurological symptoms were tingling in the feet, changes in eyesight,tremors in the extremities, headaches or migraines and more. Patients who suffer from brain tumor go through a screening process to identify the cause of the problem. Factors such as age and gender was observed in this study which affected the data distribution of brain tumors. This study aimed to find the data distribution of the brain tumor cases in RSUD Dr Soetomo. The results obtained showed that the highest number of brain tumor found were meningiomas followed by unspecified brain neoplasms as the second highest and adenomas being the third highest tumor type found in RSUD Dr Soetomo. The total number of female patients with brain tumor were higher than that of males. The median age of the patients was found to be 45. The highest number of tumor cases were seen in the adult age group followed by teens, children and elderly. The benign tumor type is found to be higher in number as compared to malignant. The number of supratentorial tumors are also found to be higher than infratentorial overall. Keywords: age; gender; brain tumor
Overweight and obesity have been correlated to the higher risk for developing metabolic diseases in later life, i.e. DM type 2. We study the body mass index (BMI), the waist to hip ratio (WHR) and the fasting blood glucose levels (FBG) in the seemingly healthy male and female university students to comprehend these variables amongst the youth in Indonesia in 2019. The BMI and WHR of 150 male and female students aged 18-22 years old of the IIKBW, Kediri were measured by standardised anthropometry. The FBG was measured after 8 hours-minimum of fasting from the capillary blood drop using glucometer. Data was then analysed using SPSS 17 with level of significance of p<0.05. According to Asia-Pacific BMI classification, students were 30.7% obese with males significantly higher than females (p=0.016), 18% overweight (significantly higher in females, p=0.04), 36% normal and 15.3% underweight.When compared between genders, the WHR is significantly higher in males (p<0.001); whilst no significant differences in FBG (p=0.6). Four males and 5 females with FBG ≥ 100 mg/dl, whereas others were within normal limits. There are positive significant correlations between BMI and WHR in males and females (r=0.777, p<0.001; r=0.54, p<0.001, respectively). There is a significant positive correlation between the BMI and FBG with r=0.217, p=0.008; and between the WHR and FBG with r=0.21, p=0.01 amongst all students. In this study, male students have significantly higher BMI and WHR than females. Higher FBG was well observed in students with either higher BMI or WHR.
Telepon selular merupakan salah satu sumber radiasi elektromagnetik (EMR). Peningkatan penggunaan telepon selular dapat meningkatkan efek negatif EMR sebagai salah satu penyebab stres oksidatif pada tubuh manusia diantaranya jaringan serebri. Aluminium foil (AF) adalah salah satu bahan yang direkomendasikan untuk melindungi otak dari efek negatif EMR karena memiliki potensi absorption loss and reflective loss. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian sekat AF terhadap EMR dari telepon selular terhadap rasio neuron dan neuroglia pada jaringan serebri tikus Wistar jantan dewasa. Sebanyak 32 ekor tikus jantan dewasa dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok (n=8). Kelompok KI EMR (-) dan AF (-); Kelompok K2 EMR (-) dan AF (+); Kelompok P1 EMR (+) dan AF (-); Kelompok P2 EMR (+) dan AF (+). Telepon selular (GSM 2100 MHz;SAR 0,84-1,86 W/kg) diletakkan di dasar wadah kotak plastik , kemudian dipaparkan 4 jam/ hari selama 30 hari. Data jumlah neuron dan neuroglia tiap kelompok dianalisis dengan tingkat signifikansi p<0,05 (uji one way ANOVA, SPSS 17). Dari hasil rasio neuron dan neuroglia didapatkan penurunan rasio pada kelompok perlakuan dibandingkan kontrol, serta peningkatan rasio pada kelompok perlakuan P2 dibandingkan kelompok P1. Hal tersebut membuktikan AF dapat melindungi dari efek negatif EMR dengan meningkatkan jumlah neuroglia sebagai respon proteksi terhadap kerusakan neuron pada jaringan serebri.
Higher prevalence of albuminuria, glycosuria, and haematuria was reported in the obese people than control. We aimed to analyze the BMI and urinalysis markers among the university students aged 18-21 years old in the IIKBW, Kediri to study any correlations and differences between these variables, which to the best of our knowledge has yet widely reported in Indonesia. This study has ethics approval from Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya. The BMI was analyzed from the body weight and height of male (n=74) and female (n=76) students with no health problems recorded. The pH, nitrites, protein, erythrocytes, glucose in the urine were measured qualitatively with a dip-stick method, blinded, using the midstream urine sample collected in the morning. Data were analyzed using SPSS 17, with a level of significance of p<0.05. Abnormal pH (n=75), positive nitrites (n=24), haematuria (n=6), and proteinuria (n=149) were recorded. About 22% of students suffered from type I obesity, and 8.7% of type II. Males were significantly suffered from the obesity whilst females from the overweight (p<0.05). No significant correlations between the BMI and each urinalysis marker (BMI and nitrites p=0.936; BMI and protein p=1; BMI and pH p=0.835; BMI and blood, p=0.486; respectively); no one were found with glycosuria. No significant differences either on the BMI or the 5 urinalysis markers between male and female groups (p>0.05). Whilst no positive glycosuria samples were identified; 18.9% of males and 13.2% of females have positive nitrites, 100% of males and 98.7% of females have positive proteinuria, 2.7% of males and 7.9% of females have positive haematuria. There were 7.33% of males and 6% of females having an increased pH; whilst 20.66% of males and 16% of females having a decreased pH. Amongst the seemingly healthy university students, we found cases of urinalysis marker impairment, although no significant correlations on the BMI to the urinalysis markers that may be representing early detection for renal diseases were observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
