Association Between Enteral Protein Intake and Fat-Free Mass Accretion in Very Preterm Infants.

Introduction: For preterm infants, the first two weeks after birth are a time when nutrition and protein intake is variable and often falls below recommended intakes. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between protein intake, including source of protein, during the first two weeks after birth and fat-free mass (FFM) accretion in a group of very preterm infants.

Methods: In this observational cohort study, body composition was assessed using air displacement plethysmography in eligible infants <32 weeks gestational age at two weeks after birth and prior to discharge.

Early Experience of Left Bundle Branch Pacing with Lumenless Lead in a Single Center: A Case Series.

Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) has been subject to increasing interest over the last few years due to its capacity for physiological conduction and its advantages compared to His bundle pacing. His bundle pacing has certain limitations, such as a small pacing area for the His bundle, a high threshold that leads to battery depletion, a low R-wave amplitude that may result in atrial or His oversensing, and ventricular signal undersensing. In this case series, four patients (two female and two male) aged 62.

Determinants of quality of life among people with HIV and tuberculosis in an underserved area in Indonesia: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) remain global health problems and impose a substantial reduction in people´s quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to assess and compare the QoL in HIV and TB patients and factors associated with QoL between those groups.

Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted at a hospital clinic in Jayapura, Indonesia, between December 2022 and March 2023.

Early and exclusive enteral nutrition in infants born very preterm.

Objective: To characterise the effects of early and exclusive enteral nutrition with either maternal or donor milk in infants born very preterm (28-32 weeks of gestation).

Setting: Regional, tertiary neonatal intensive care unit.

The risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 antibody level differences in healthcare workers post vaccination in Siloam hospitals: A nationwide multicenter study.

Background: Several vaccines have been approved against COVID-19, and 5 have been used in Indonesia. Due to the decrease in antibody levels 3 to 6 months after the second dose of CoronaVac, healthcare workers received the third booster of mRNA vaccine (mRNA-1273) to increase the antibody level. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of anti-S-RBD IgG levels differences in healthcare workers.

A household survey of intrafamily norovirus transmission.

Norovirus (NoV) is a leading cause of epidemic and sporadic gastroenteritis in people of all ages. Humans are the primary source of NoV and household contact is one of the risk factors for NoV transmission. However, the mechanisms underlying person-to-person NoV transmission are poorly understood.

Early Human Milk Fortification in Infants Born Extremely Preterm: A Randomized Trial.

Objectives: Enteral nutrition with unfortified human milk during the first 2 postnatal weeks often leads to cumulative protein and energy deficits among preterm infants. Fortified human milk administered soon after birth could increase fat-free mass (FFM) and improve growth in these infants.

Methods: This was a masked, randomized trial.

Modelling, Characterization of Data-Dependent and Process-Dependent Errors in DNA Data Storage.

Using DNA as the medium to store information has recently been recognized as a promising solution for long-term data storage. While several system prototypes have been demonstrated, the error characteristics in DNA data storage are discussed with limited content. Due to the data and process variations from experiment to experiment, the error variation and its effect on data recovery remain to be uncovered.

Developing an online information portal for enhancing society awareness of RPTRA (A case study RPTRA MAYA ASRI 13).

The long COVID-19 pandemic has limited the activities of Ruang Publik Terpadu Ramah Anak (RPTRA) such as environment cleaning, repair of RPTRA infrastructure, learning and others, as well as the lack of public awareness about the existence and importance of RPTRA to the public and foreign tourists encouraging the RPTRA to make changes in the dissemination of information about the activities carried out in the RPTRA through the use of technology to survive and grow even during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The methodology used in this research is Group Discussion Forum with the administrators of the RPTRA Maya ASRI 13 to learn about the needs and expectations of the RPTRA administrators regarding the web portal to be built. Then, the implementation of the conceptual model, development, and evaluation of the effectiveness of the RPTRA information web portal was carried out.

Complete genome analyses of G12P[8] rotavirus strains from hospitalized children in Surabaya, Indonesia, 2017-2018.

Rotavirus A (RVA) is a major viral cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) worldwide. G12 RVA strains have emerged globally since 2007. There has been no report of the whole genome sequences of G12 RVAs in Indonesia.

Total Fluid Administration and Weight Loss during the First 2 Weeks in Infants Randomized to Early Enteral Feeding after Extremely Preterm Birth.

Background: Randomized trials have not reported the effects of the early progression of feeding volumes on fluid balance and neurodevelopment among infants born extremely preterm (≤28 weeks).

Method: Fluid, electrolyte, and neurodevelopment data of 60 extremely preterm infants randomly assigned to receive either 1 (early feeding group) or 4 days (late feeding group) of trophic feeding volumes at 20-24 mL/kg/day were analyzed.

Results: Infants randomized to the early feeding group received less parenteral fluids, generated lower urine volumes, and had less excessive weight loss during the first 14 days after birth.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for geospatial mapping of damage assessment: A study case of the 2021 6.2 Mamuju-Majene, Indonesia, earthquake during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

There is an increase in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) after disasters to assess impacts, including damage and losses worldwide in poorer and more prosperous countries. In Indonesia, there is a substantial increase in the use of UAVs to assess post-disaster damages. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of documentation on the lessons on the effectiveness and efficiency of UAVs in post-disaster mappings from Indonesia.

Adaptive Stigma Coping Among Papuans Living with HIV: a Qualitative Study in One of the Indigenous People, Indonesia.

Introduction: The indigenous Papuans of Indonesia's Tanah Papua Island have been a distinct cultural and racial entity from the rest of the country's inhabitants. Furthermore, antiretroviral therapy's inability to reduce mortality and incidence rates in this region has sparked public interest in HIV issues, which has resulted in increased stigma. Papuans were more interested in memorizing the symptoms than using antiretroviral as an effective therapy.
