The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia is increasing, as evidenced by the latest Indonesian National Health Research, which shows an increase in diabetes prevalence, from 6.9% in 2013 to 10.9% in 2018, and hypertension, from 25.

Nurturing humanism and professionalism in a clinical setting: A multicenter study to develop a framework for a learning module for clinical students.

Introduction: Professionalism represents a contract between physicians and society, with humanism at its core. Humanism must be developed in medical education, especially in clinical settings, as students meet real-life professional situations. However, dynamic and unpredictable clinical settings might expose students to authentic yet unexpected far-from-ideal situations that might hinder the humanism and professionalism process.

The impact of online interprofessional learning on family health education to prepare collaborative-ready health professionals: A mixed-method study.

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) is an experience that occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to improve the quality of health services. One of the IPE teaching strategies is to use an online approach. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the community needs effective health education to prevent disease transmission.

"How is social media used for learning?": relationships between social media use by medical students with their self-regulated learning skills.

Background: Social media is widely used by medical students, including for learning purposes since it facilitates their involvement in the communities of inquiry where they can share, express, and engage in the development of knowledge. Navigating the use of social media requires self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. Hence, studies on the relationships between social media use and SRL skills are necessary.

Culturally adapted training for community volunteers to improve their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding non-communicable diseases in Vietnam.

Background: The burden of non-communicable diseases is becoming unmanageable by primary healthcare facilities in low- and middle-income countries. Community-based approaches are promising for supporting healthcare facilities. In Vietnam, community health volunteers are trained in providing health promotion and screening in a culturally adapted training.

Improvement of renal functions in mice with septic acute kidney injury using secretome of mesenchymal stem cells.

Background: A potentially fatal complication of sepsis is septic acute kidney injury. Stem cell therapy is a potential new method of treating sepsis and has been applied to treat some human diseases.

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of secretome-MSCs on NGAL, CRP, NF-κB, and MMP-9 proteins, and histopathology in mice with septic AKI.

Health-related Quality of Life of Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Measured With the Bahasa Indonesia Version of EQ-5D in Primary Care Settings in Indonesia.

Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious public health issue that places a heavy financial, social, and health-related burden on individuals, families, and healthcare systems. Self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is extensively used for monitoring the general population's health conditions and measuring the effectiveness of interventions. Therefore, this study investigated HRQoL and associated factors among patients with type 2 DM at a primary healthcare center in Indonesia.

Promoting medical student's clinical reasoning during COVID-19 pandemic.

The social capital effect on HIV/AIDS preventive efforts: a meta-analysis.

HIV/AIDS is one of the sexually transmitted diseases that cause death worldwide. Its prevalence increases due to low prevention behaviour. The study aimed to estimate the effect of social capital on HIV/AIDS preventive efforts.

Exosomes Derived from Secretome Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (Exo-HUVEC) Ameliorate the Photo-Aging of Skin Fibroblast.

Purpose: This is an in-vitro experimental study to analyze the effect of Exo-HUVEC on endothelial cell (CD31), cell proliferation, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) and collagen type 1 on irradiated fibroblast with UVB as photo-aging model.

Patients And Methods: Fibroblast cultures were divided into 5 groups, namely without UVB exposure, UVB exposure 600mJ/cm for 80 seconds as photo-aging model, and UVB exposure +Exo-HUVEC exposure 0.1%, 0.

A Guideline for Contextual Adaptation of Community-Based Health Interventions.

In Southeast Asia, community-based health interventions (CBHIs) are often used to target non-communicable diseases (NCDs). CBHIs that are tailored to sociocultural aspects of health and well-being: local language, religion, customs, traditions, individual preferences, needs, values, and interests, may promote health more effectively than when no attention is paid to these aspects. In this study, we aimed to develop a guideline for the contextual adaption of CBHIs.

Missed opportunities in hypertension risk factors screening in Indonesia: a mixed-methods evaluation of integrated health post (POSBINDU) implementation.

Objectives: To assess the implementation and contextual barriers of POSBINDU, a community-based activity focusing on screening of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), mainly hypertension and diabetes, in Indonesia.
