Introduction Burnout is experienced frequently by residents, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. Impacts of the pandemic on clinical workload and training program of the residents has also resulted in burnout, which may impact their clinical performance and safety. Therefore, this paper aims to assess burnout syndrome among surgical residents in Indonesia during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 120 surgical residents (from orthopedics, general surgery, and urology department) of a tertiary referral teaching hospital in Malang using web-based questionnaire. Personal data form and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) for medical personnel were used. There are 3 subscales of MBI: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal achievement (PA). Comparative and correlative analysis were performed to analyze the socio-demographic, academic, and work-related factors in relation to the subscales scores of MBI-HSS and the presence of burnout. Results Burnout were experienced by 56.67% of residents in this study. There were statistically significant association regarding burnout and marital status, residency specialty, year of residency, and working hours upon analysis of mean and classification of subscale scores of MBI with the examined factors. Conclusion This study showed that burnout is a major issue in surgical residents during COVID-19 pandemic and may be associated with certain socio-demographic, academic, and work-related factors. Further studies to identify factors contributing to burnout in residents during COVID-19 pandemic are needed. It is imperative to formulate resident-centered strategies to prevent and address burnout among residents to ensure their overall well-being during this pandemic.

Background: The sodium may aggravate synovial inflammation and cartilage thinning. This incidence can cause joint pain and reduce functional activity. Not many people know the effect of sodium on the incidence of OA. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between sodium in the body and knee joint pain which results in functional activity. Methods: The quantitative descriptive study used accidental sampling. The study was conducted at three outpatient polyclinic orthopedics of hospitals and was approved by the Health Ethics Committee. All data were collected during the interview. The Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and the Nutrisurvey Indonesia 2007 application were used as a tool to collect daily sodium intake (mg). Knee joint pain score was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) while functional body activity was measured using the Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The Pearson and Spearman test (p<0.05) were used as a correlation test. Results: 80 subjects were according to the inclusion criteria. Characteristics of the subjects were pre-elderly (32, 40%), women (74, 92.5%), BMI≥ 30 kg/m2 (54, 67.5%) and occupation (43, 53.75%). Average sodium intake = 2090.78 ± 1084.33 mg, VAS score = 6.28 ± 1.95 and WOMAC score = 32.65 ± 14.88. The correlation sodium, VAS, and WOMAC were not significant (p=0.196, p=0.372). Conclusions: Increased sodium intake is not associated with knee joint pain and functional body activity.

Primary tumours of musculoskeletal tissues are relatively uncommomn, they represent only 1% of all malignancies in all ages groups, but the incidence is arising each year. Many medical research and experiments were developed to found appropriate methods of treatment for tumor patients. Mortality rates of malignant musculoskeletal tumor patients still higher than benign cases. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence, age and sex distribution, location and histology of benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors diagnosed and/or treated at a tertiary referral Orthopaedic Department serving the East Java. This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of medical records of all patients diagnosed and/or treated for any type of musculoskeletal tumor at Orthopaedic and Traumatology Department of Saiful Anwar Hospital, in the period from January 2011 to December 2017. This study resulted there were 531 cases of musculoskeletal tumor, within the characteristic: the peak of incidence occurs in the patient older than 60; the highest case was Osteosarcoma (92 cases); and breast metastases (40 cases) distributed highest mortality rates for metastastic bone tumor patients. Result of this study was people at age 60 and older have higher risk for Muskulokeletal Tumor, and Osteosarcoma was the most frequent case.  Keywords: Musculoskeletal tumor, data based system, incidence, East Java
