Published: July 2024

The suboptimal state of quality of life will have an impact on the physical health and psychological welfare of individuals. When early adolescents are excluded from their age group, their quality of life is compromised. The primary objective of this research is to examine the correlation between peer relationships and the quality of life at school experienced by early adolescents. The  methodology employed in this study involved the utilization of a cross-sectional approach. The independent variables in this research encompass the following respondent characteristics: age, gender; peer relationships; and quality of life at school. The population under investigation consisted of 569 early adolescents in one of a state junior high school in South Jakarta. Total sampling was employed as the sampling technique for this study. The research instrument utilized was a modified questionnaire derived from The Peer Relationship Scale and The Quality of Life in School Questionnaire, which underwent rigorous testing to ensure its validity and reliability. In conducting bivariate analysis, the chi-square test was employed. The findings of this research indicate that a majority of the adolescents surveyed exhibited poor peer relationships, with 312 respondents (54.8%) falling into this category. Furthermore, a significant proportion of the respondents reported a low quality of life at school, with 378 adolescents (66.4%) falling into this category. In addition, the majority of the sub-dimensions of quality of life in school, namely psychosocial well-being, attitudes towards school, student-teacher relationships, and the school environment, were reported as being poor (64.1%, 80.3%, 64.7%, and 56.4%, respectively). The quality of relationships between peers impacts adolescents' quality of life at school (p value = 0.000; α 0.05). Positive peer relationships have the potential to enhance the emotional and psychological well-being of adolescents, whereas extended conflict can engender the contrary effect.

Published: July 2024

Stunting, a common child malnutrition form, hampers growth due to poor nutrition, infections, and limited psychosocial stimulation. Primarily affecting those under five, especially in the first 1,000 days, it becomes nearly irreversible later. Linked to impaired brain development, childhood morbidity, and mortality, it heightens the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood, impacting cognitive function and productivity. This research aims to analyze factors related to the motivation of Posyandu cadres in tackling stunting in the Belu Regency, RI-RDTL border. The method used in this research is mixed methods. The mixed method research strategy applied is the Concurrent Embedded method. The quantitative method used is a descriptive approach while the qualitative method uses a case study. The study was conducted at Haliwen Health Center and South Atambua Health Center, with a quantitative research sample of 150 people and 10 qualitative research informants. The research findings indicate that the dominant cadre motivation factors include Social Needs at 99.3%. Based on Maslow's Basic Human Needs motivation factors, when viewed from the results of quantitative and qualitative data analysis, the motivation of cadres in handling stunting is social needs. Meanwhile, in qualitative research, a main theme was found, namely Humanitarian Harmony, which was divided into 3 categories, namely Volunteering, Dedication, and Caring. Volunteering, Dedication, and Caring are included in social needs. Humans in general need to interact and contribute to society. Dedication, caring, and volunteering are ways to fulfill this social need by providing support or assistance to others without expecting immediate reward.

Authors: SKM Mohiuddin , S Kundu , M Hamid Ali , RK Brahmachari
Published: July 2024

Background: Platelet is the important factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic complications, contributing to thrombus formation. As there is a significant correlation found between acute ischaemic stroke and platelet indices including platelet count with their prognostication, but no similar study has been documented from this area of the country, which has drawn attention to conducting this study. Methods: This is an observational, case-control study. Patients with acute ischaemic stroke and aged 18 years or above were included involving a total of 156 subjects (78 cases and 78 controls). They were examined clinically radio-logically and pathologically by platelet count and different indices like mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet to large cell ratio (P-LCR). Results: In the present study, mean PDW of cases is 17.69 fl with a SD of 3.22 fl and means PDW of the control group is 13.67 fl with a SD of 3.15 fl. There is statistically insignificant (p=0.26, CI-95%) changes in value of plateletcrit (PCT) among cases and control group (mean PCT of cases is 0.27% with a SD of 0.O7% and the mean PCT of control subjects is 0.29% with a SD of 0.07%). Conclusion: The observations here suggest a role for larger platelets in the genesis of cerebral thrombosis and are likely to represent changes occurring at the time of thrombopoiesis. Patients with larger platelets can easily be identified during routine haematological analysis. Hence, these indices serve as an important and cost-effective tool in predicting an impending ischemic event and can be used in the future, especially in resource poor countries like India.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is strongly recommended in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (ACPE). Recently, helmet has been introduced as an interface for NIV. This study was planned to compare helmet and face mask interface for administering NIV. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized control trial conducted in patients with ACPE with respiratory failure treated with either face masks or helmet. Patients in Group H (Helmet) received minimum positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 10, with a pressure support (PS) of 15. The cushion was inflated to 100 cm H20 and pressurization/ rise time was kept 0.1 seconds. Group F (Facemask) patients received pressure support with expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) of 8 and inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) of 16 cm H20. EPAP & IPAP were adjusted according to tidal volume (TV) and respiratory rate (RR) respectively. Results: Patients using helmet as the interface had less failure rate (0.0%) as compared to facemask 9 (22.5%), Odds Ratio (OR)[95% Confidence Interval (CI)]- 0.04 (0.0, 0.71) (p= 0.001) and less complications such as nasal and skin ulcers 3 (8.6%) in Group H as compared to 16 (45.7%) in Group F, OR (95% CI) o--0.11 (0.03,0.43) (p= 0.01). Conclusion: Helmet was better than face mask in terms of reduced requirement of intubations, better patient tolerance and reduced complications.

Introduction: Oral cancer ranks sixth among all cancers globally and India has the most significant number of cases, one-third of the total burden of oral cancer cases globally. The aim of the study was to conduct deep margin assessment using intraoperative ultrasound in superficial oral tongue carcinomas, ensuring adequate surgical resection for early-stage oral tongue cancer minimizing loco regional recurrence risks. Methodology: This is a prospective observational study involving 91 diagnosed tongue malignancies. The study included biopsy verified tongue cancer. During the surgical procedure and effect of general anaesthesia the tongue lesions of the patient were evaluated with intraoral sonography. An intraoral transducer probe characterized by an 8 to 10 MHz ultrasonic beam Siemens Acuson NX3 was used to assess the deep margin, tumor thickness, margins, and other findings like lingual nodes are noted. Results: A total of 91 patients that underwent resection using intraoperative USG were included in the study. The majority of the patients were in the age group 41 - 60 years. As carcinoma tongue is more common in males our study has a sex distribution of 63 male and 28 females. The mean deep margin assessed by USG - is 0.901cm and the mean deep margin assessed by the frozen section is 0.762 cm. The mean deep margin assessed by final histology is 0.748 cm. Conclusion: USG guided resection of early tongue cancers is a technique that is able to increase the frequency of free margins and decrease the close margin and positive margin frequency when compared to conventional treatment. USG being noninvasive is a very fast method in comparison to the frozen section and seems to be a promising technique. Larger studies are needed with control groups to possibly confirm a statistically significant difference in adequate deep resection margin and improvement in DSS and quality of life in future. Keywords: deep margin; tongue; carcinoma

So, this study was aimed to assess the burden of cancer since the inception of Kanyakumari Government Medical College and to analyse the pattern of the reported malignant cases. Methodology: This is a retrospective observational study. Institutional research and ethical clearance obtained. Records from the year 2006 to 2022 were retrieved from the pathology department of Kanyakumari Government Medical College. All the malignant cases were entered in access database according to ICD-10 classification and were further categorised based on the patient’s age, sex and site of origin of the tumour. A quantitative analysis was made and exhibited in tables and graphs. Results: Relative proportion of cancer is more among females (5%) than men (4.3%). The top five leading cancer sites in female in descending order of frequency are breast, female genital tract, stomach, skin, tongue and larynx. Conclusion: This study shows that the magnitude of cancer cases reported at Kanyakumari Government Medical College over a period of 2006 to 2022 is less compared to the nearby districts. Female breast cancers are at increasing trend. In males it is oral cavity cancer.

Background: Cutaneous angiomyolipoma (CAML) is a rare benign tumour originating from the perivascular cells of the smooth muscle and fat. Owing to its rarity, clinical presentation, size, and location, we report a case of interest. Case report: A 59-years-old male patient from the Etawah district presented with a lump in the anterior abdominal wall of the umbilical region for the past 5 months. The patient was asymptomatic, but was concerned about the nature of the lump and agreed to undergo excision of the lump, which revealed angiomyolipoma of the anterior abdominal wall on histopathological examination. The patient experienced no complications from the excision and was discharged from the hospital. This particular subsite is rare and lacks association with tuberous sclerosis, a clinical entity commonly associated with renal angiomyolipoma Conclusion: The final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology based on the traditional criteria of the presence of blood vessels, fat tissue, and smooth muscles. Surgery is the preferred course of treatment, and complete resection is important because incomplete resection may cause recurrence. Keywords: benign; smooth muscle; tumor; blood vessel; adipose tissue
