Analysis of the Relationship between Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular Disease Risk Profile and Occupational Profile to the WHO Cardiovascular Risk Chart 2019 for South-East Asia in Oil and Gas Industry.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a new 10-year cardiovascular risk prediction recommendation known as the WHO Cardiovascular Risk Chart 2019 (WHO CRC). However, there is currently no assessment available regarding the relationship between ASCVD classic and occupational profiles to WHO CRC, specifically in occupational settings and in the context of the Indonesian Heart Association's (IHA) adjusted version of the WHO CRC for South-East Asia (WHO CRC-INA). This study aims to fill this gap by examining the relationship between classic (Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular Disease) ASCVD and occupational profiles within the oil and gas industry, specifically the WHO CRC-INA.

The relationship between post-anastomosis brachial artery flow rate and brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula access maturity in end-stage kidney disease patients with diabetes mellitus.

Background: From previous studies, evaluation of post-anastomosis draining-vein volume flow rate with Doppler ultrasound can be a predictor for arteriovenous fistula maturation. Due to the high variation in measurements by the effect of probe pressure in draining vein, measuring volume flow rate based on post-anastomosis feeding-artery may be an early alternative predictor of arteriovenous fistula maturation. This study aims to investigate the correlation of post-creation brachial artery volume flow rate on maturity of brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula access in patients with end-stage kidney disease with diabetes mellitus.

Expectation and Needs of Medical Students Towards the Implementation of Virtual Simulation in Learning Rational Use of Medicine.

Introduction: The irrational use of medicines remains prevalent globally despite education efforts, leading to decreased treatment quality and increased healthcare costs. With the rise of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual simulation offers a promising solution to enhance the teaching of rational medicine use among medical students. This study aimed to investigate medical students' perspectives and needs regarding the implementation of virtual simulation in learning the rational use of medicines.

Effectiveness and Safety of a Dermocosmetic Cream as an Adjunct to Adapalene for Mild and Moderate Acne in Indonesia: Results of a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study.

Purpose: Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting mainly teenagers and adults as well. Guidelines recommend retinoids as a first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate acne. However, dermocosmetics in adjunct could potentially improve efficacy and tolerability.

The utilization of provider-initiated testing counselling services for citizens at risk of HIV/aids at the polyclinic of class IIA Abepura penitentiary in Papua province.

Objective: To analyse the factors related to the use of provider-initiated test and counselling services for inmates at high risk of HIV /AIDS.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Polyclinic of Class IIA Abepura Correctional Institution, Papua Province, Indonesia, from November to December 2020, and involved 140 inmates, of age 18 years or older selected by simple random sampling technique, at high risk of HIV after obtaining informed consent. All had been tested for HIV status were fluent in Indonesian and willing to participate in the study.

Clinical and Bronchoscopy Assessment in Diagnosing the Histopathology Type of Primary Central Lung Tumors.

Background: The location and type of a tumor influence the prognosis of lung cancer. Primary Central Lung Tumors (PCLTs) are correlated with poor prognoses and certain histologic types. This study aimed to present a comprehensive exploration of clinical and bronchoscopic assessments for diagnosing the histopathology types of PCLTs and identified the factors associated with certain histologic types.

Exploring HTML5 Package Interactive Content in Supporting Learning Through Self-Paced Massive Open Online Courses on Healthy Aging: Mixed Methods Study.

Background: The rapidly aging population and the growth of geriatric medicine in the field of internal medicine are not supported by sufficient gerontological training in many health care disciplines. There is rising awareness about the education and training needed to adequately prepare health care professionals to address the needs of the older adult population. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) might be the best alternative method of learning delivery in this context.

Social cohesion among healthcare workers during COVID-19: Qualitative research in Indonesia, Nepal, and Vietnam.

Existing literature has portrayed numerous challenges that healthcare workers (HCWs) faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as heightened risks of transmission against the scarcity of protective equipment, burgeoning workload, and emotional distress, to name a few. However, most studies explored HCWs' experiences at the individual level rather than examining the collective responses. Exploring these experiences could reveal the social-cultural locality of the pandemic while identifying the system constraints in public health emergencies.

A Novel Diabetic Arthritic Model in Rats Induced by Streptozotocin, High-Fat Diet, and Complete Freund's Adjuvant.

Introduction: Ankle arthrodesis is one of the treatments of choice, particularly in late-stage and unstable diabetic Charcot arthropathy. Unfortunately, poor healing capacity might play a role in the high nonunion rate (10-40%). The advancement in regenerative medicine opens a new horizon for enhancing fusion after ankle arthrodesis in patients with poor healing capacity.

Proportion of Hypogonadism in Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia Patients and Its Contributing Factors.

Background: Beta thalassemia is a lifelong disease involving malformed red blood cells (RBC). One of the disease's complications is hypogonadism, in which adults tend to exhibit regression in sexual characteristics, experience sexual dysfunction, and therefore have a lower quality of life. Around 3-10% of the Indonesian population carries the beta-thalassemia gene.

CD44 and CD133 protein expression might serve as a prognostic factor for early occurrence castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Background: The occurrence of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) varies in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The rate of occurrence of CRPC may be related to the presence of prostate cancer stem cells (CSC). Thus, this study aims to evaluate the presence of CSC markers (CD44 and CD133) in histopathology tissue at the time of diagnosis and their correlation with the occurrence of CRPC in patients with advanced PCa within 2 years of ADT.

Dynamic Changes in Body Composition and Protein Intake in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Preliminary Study.

Background: Ovarian cancer patients often face poor nutritional status, with body composition (BC) serving as a significant prognostic indicator. Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are crucial predictors of both survival and hospitalization duration. Increasing protein intake has been linked to improvements in SMM and FFM.
