Authors: Ikhromr Fitrokh Nur , Sugiyarto Ipin , Faddillah Umi , Sudarsono Bibit
Published: July 2023

Diabetes merupakan salah satu penyakit kronis penyebab kematian tertinggi di Indonesia berdasarkan data Riskesdas 2018 menunjukkan jumlah keseluruhan kasus penyakit diabetes yang ada di Indonesia yakni sebesar  8.5 %, meningkat dibandingkan data Riskesdas 2013 yang hanya sebesar 6.9 %. Salah satu faktor penyebab penyakit diabetes adalah obesitas yang tidak tertangani. Pada pasien Pra diabetes ditandai dengan gula darah yang naik. Permasalahan tersebut menjadi sangat penting untuk memprediksi secara dini sebagai langkah antisipasi untuk menekan kasus diabetes. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode klasifikasi dalam penggalian data untuk mencari informasi penting pasien diabetes.   Algoritma Naïve Bayes dan K-Nearest Neighbor digunakan untuk penyelesaian kasus ini. Performa algoritma Naïve Bayes dan K-Nearest Neighbor menjadi bagian evaluasi untuk mencari algortima terbaik. Hasil evaluasi,  menggunakan 2000 data pasien diabetes dengan metode K- Nearest Neighbor memiliki hasil accuracy sebesar 99% sedangkan Naïve Bayes memiliki hasil accuracy sejumlah 75%, selisih akurasi terhadap dua metode tersebut sejumlah 24%. Selanjutnya, dari hasil evaluasi uji coba model mengunakan 30 data yang dibagi menjadi data uji dan data latih, menggunakan K-Nearest  Neighbor memiliki hasil accuracy sejumlah 53%, sedangkan Naïve Bayes memiliki hasil accuracy sejumlah 66%, memiliki selisih accuracy sejumlah 13%. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa perbandingan implementasi untuk mengklasifikasikan prediksi diabetes dengan menggunakan 2000 data dan 30 data untuk uji coba model K-Nearest Neighbor dan Naïve Bayes menghasilkan accuracy yang berbeda. Pada  implementasi untuk mengklasifikasikan prediksi diabetes dengan 2000 data algoritma K- Nearest Neighbor dapat menghasilkan tingkat nilai accuracy prediksi diabetes lebih baik dibandingkan dengan memakai algoritma Naïve Bayes. sedangkan saat menggunakan data untuk uji coba model yaitu 30 data algoritma Naïve Bayes dapat menghasilkan tingkat nilai accuracy prediksi diabetes lebih baik dibandingkan dengan memakai alogoritma K-Nearest Neighbor. Berdasarkan penilaian algoritma tersebut dapat di tarik kesimpulan bahwa algoritma KNN bekerja lebih baik saat jumlah data lebih besar sedangkan sebaliknya untuk algoritma Naives Bayes memiliki hasil evaluasi tertinggi saat jumlah dataset lebih sedikit. Algoritma KNN menjadi rekomendasi terbaik dalam penggalian data besar untuk melihat pola dalam dataset 2000 record dari sumber dataset diabetes.

Published: July 2023

Rendahnya kemampuan peserta didik dalam melakukan pembuktian matematika pada materi induksi matematika. Perbedaan gaya kognitif dapat memberikan gambaran kepada kita bagaimana struktur argumentasi siswa dalam melakukan pembuktian karena gaya kognitif mempunyai korelasi terhadap kemampuan intelektual dan perseptual siswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk memperoleh deskripsi bagaimana kemampuan pembuktian matematika siswa yang ditinjau dari gaya kognitif. Gaya kognitif yang dimaksud adalah gaya kognitif field independent dan gaya kognitif field dependent. Teknik pengambilan subjek pada penelitian ini adalah purposive sampling sehingga diperoleh masing-masing 3 subjek yang mewakili kedua gaya kognitif tersebut. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah tes GEFT, tes kemampuan pembuktian matematika, dan wawancara. Tes GEFT digunakan untuk menggolongkan siswa ke dalam masing-masing gaya kognitif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan pembuktian matematika dengan gaya kognitif field independent cenderung memiliki kemampuan analisis yang baik, sedangkan dengan gaya kognitif field dependent memiliki kemampuan memahami soal namun cenderung kurang teliti dan tidak sesuai prosedur yang tepat. Dari 5 indikator kemampuan mengonstruksi bukti, subjek dengan gaya kognitif field dependent kurang cakap dalam aturan-aturan penarikan kesimpulan. Sementara subjek field independent sudah cakap dalam penarikan kesimpulan. Dengan mempertimbangkan perbedaan gaya kognitif siswa, kegiatan pembelajaran harus dirancang sedemikian rupa untuk meningkatkan kualitas belajar siswa secara menyeluruh.

The Effects of an Epidemic of Disease on the Global Market: A Coronavirus Disease Case Study
Authors: ChangDa He , Bhaumik Amiya
Published: July 2023

The study's subjects are the novel coronavirus illness, also known as COVID-19 universal, and its effects on the bread and liquid refreshment sectors. It examines the pandemic's short-, medium-, and long-term consequences and makes recommendations for reducing any potential drawbacks. To do this, we employ a qualitative, multi-case study approach to collect facts from fourteen respondents spread among eight sample bread and liquid refreshment businesses within Bangladesh. The results indicate that this pandemic will have major limited consequences, for instance, outcome termination, a shortage of working money, and constraints, whereas the medium- to long-term focus on dealer functioning consequences are anticipated to be compound and unexpected. Indicators show that over time, factors like staff count, return on investment, and share of GDP will decrease. A company might also need to update its supply network and find new distributors and trading partners. The research makes a number of recommendations for managers in this sector to improve their capacity to adjust to shifting circumstances both during and after the COVID-19 timeframe. In spite of the fact that this research is creative and improves both theory and practice, it does not take into account the smaller and larger firms in the bread and liquid refreshment industry. As a result, smaller organisations might not be affected by the consequences and actions we find.

Authors: Singh Gurjeet , Syis Zulkipli Muhamad , Jin Tan Chun , bin Al Kuddoos Nabil Muhammad , Damodaran Suhash , Hj Abdulrahman Mohamed Alwi Bin
Published: July 2023

Medical standby is an event that was assigned to the emergency department to orchestrate the flow of medical management and the safety of the people who were involved during the event. The challenge started weeks or sometimes months before the occasion, as it may include more than one team for the event according to the requirements that have been standardized by the governing bodies. The preparedness of medical standby becomes more challenging as it requires dedicated and state-of-the-art resuscitation equipment to perform maximum medical life-saving procedures prior to the patient's dispatch to the selected hospital. This is a report of the Selayang medical team, which led multiple medical agencies to stay alert 24 hours a day during the first Thaipusam’s medical stand-by after the pandemic.

Outcomes following surgical intervention for acute hemorrhage in severe traumatic brain injury: a review of the National Trauma Data Bank
Authors: Silva Nicole A. , Mengistu Jonathan , Pillai Minakshi , Anand Gaurav , Sindelar Brian D.
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health issue posing significant morbidity and mortality to afflicted patients. While the effect of time to surgery as the primary factor for survival has been extensively studied, long-term dispositional outcomes following intracranial hemorrhage evacuation have not been well described in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to elicit potential prognostic factors in patients presenting with severe TBI that may have a significant impact on discharge disposition.

METHODS

The authors searched the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) for patients included between 2010 and 2019, solely focusing on those with a Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 8, signifying severe TBI, and with associated intracranial hemorrhage treated via surgical intervention. Numerous characteristics were analyzed, including demographics (age, sex, race, ethnicity, payment status), discharge disposition, time to surgery, pupillary response, midline shift (> 5 mm), and postoperative inpatient complications and comorbidities. Disposition included routine discharge to home, discharge to home with home health services (HHSs), discharge to acute inpatient rehabilitation (AIR), discharge to a skilled nursing facility (SNF)/long-term acute care hospital (LTACH), and death.

RESULTS

The authors analyzed data on 7308 patients, 69.6% of whom were White and 11.2% of whom were Black. More young Black and Hispanic patients had severe TBI events than their matched elders, whereas more elderly White patients had severe TBI events than their matched younger counterparts. The most common disposition across all ages was SNF/LTACH. Septuagenarians and octogenarians were 12.1 and 21 times more likely, respectively, to die following a severe TBI than their younger counterparts (p < 0.001). Patients aged 18–29 were 1.7 times more likely to be discharged with HHSs (p < 0.001). Minority race/ethnicity groups were less likely to be discharged to AIR. As age increased, a patient’s intensive care unit stay increased by 15 days (p < 0.001) and total hospital length of stay increased by 25 days (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Neurosurgical evacuation of intracranial hemorrhage in severe TBI has variable long-term morbidity. Utilizing the largest collection of trauma data within the United States, the authors present quantitative evidence on discharge disposition. Understanding these tangible points can help neurosurgeons present potential outcomes to patients, promote preventative care, and generate tangible conversations with patients and their family members.

OBJECTIVE

The predictors of survival and functional recovery following emergency decompressive surgery in patients with transtentorial brain herniation, particularly those with pupillary abnormalities, have not been established. In this study, the authors aimed to assess the outcome of patients with intracranial mass lesions, transtentorial brain herniation, and nonreactive mydriasis, following emergency surgical decompression.

METHODS

A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients with transtentorial herniation and pupillary abnormalities who underwent craniotomy or craniectomy at two trauma and stroke centers between 2016 and 2022. The functional outcome was determined using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

RESULTS

Forty-three patients, 34 men and 9 women with a mean age of 47 years (range 16–92 years), were included. The underlying etiology was traumatic brain injury in 33 patients, hemorrhagic stroke in 8 patients, and tumor in 2 patients. The median preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale score was 3 (range 3–8), and the median midline shift was 9 mm (range 1–29 mm). Thirty-two patients (74.4%) had bilaterally fixed and dilated pupils. The median time to surgery (from pupillary changes) was 133 minutes (mean 169 minutes, range 30–900 minutes). Eighteen patients (41.9%) died postoperatively. After a median follow-up of 12 months (range 3–12 months), 11 patients (26.8%) had a favorable functional outcome, while 10 remained severely disabled (mRS score 5). On univariate analysis, younger age (p < 0.001), less midline shift (p = 0.049), and improved pupillary response after osmotic therapy (p < 0.01) or decompressive surgery (p < 0.001) were associated with favorable outcomes at 3 months.

CONCLUSIONS

With aggressive medical and surgical management, patients with transtentorial brain herniation, including those with bilaterally fixed and dilated pupils, may have considerable rates of survival and functional recovery. Young age, less midline shift, and improved pupillary response following osmotic therapy or decompressive surgery are favorable prognosticators.

OBJECTIVE

Postoperative intracerebral hemorrhages are significant complications following brain stereotactic biopsy. They can derive from anatomical structure (sulci, vessels) damage that is missed during stereotactic trajectory planning. In this study, the authors investigated the ability to detect contact between structures at risk and stereotactic trajectories using signal analysis from MRI obtained during clinical practice, with the aim to propose a visual tool to highlight areas with anatomical structures at risk of damage along the biopsy trajectory.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively analyzed actual stereotactic trajectories using intraoperative imaging (intraoperative 2D radiographs in the exploratory data set and intraoperative 3D scans in the confirmatory data set). The MR signal variation along each biopsy trajectory was matched with the patient’s anatomy.

RESULTS

In the exploratory data set (n = 154 patients), 32 contacts between the actual biopsy trajectory and an anatomical structure at risk were identified along 28 (18.2%) biopsy trajectories, corresponding to 8 preventable intracerebral hemorrhages. Variations of the mean derivative of the MR signal intensity were significantly different between trajectories with and without contact (the pathological threshold of the mean derivative of the MR signal intensity was defined as ± 0.030 arbitrary units; p < 0.0001), with a sensitivity of 89.3% and specificity of 74.6% to detect a contact. In the confirmatory data set (n = 73 patients), the sensitivity and specificity of the 0.030 threshold to detect a contact between the actual stereotactic trajectory and an anatomical structure at risk were 81.3% and 68.4%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Variations of the mean derivative of the MR signal intensity can be converted into a green/red color code along the planned biopsy trajectory to highlight anatomical structures at risk, which can help neurosurgeons during the surgical planning of stereotactic procedures.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to explore how clinical factors, including the number of lifetime revision surgeries and the duration of implantation, affect the degree of obstruction and failure rates of ventricular catheters (VCs) used to manage hydrocephalus.

METHODS

A total of 343 VCs and their associated clinical data, including patient demographics, medical history, and surgical details, were collected from 5 centers and used for this analysis. Each VC was classified by the degree of obstruction after macroscopic analysis. Univariate, multivariate, and binned analyses were conducted to test for associations between clinical data and degree of VC obstruction.

RESULTS

VCs from patients with 0 to 2 lifetime revisions had a larger proportion of VC holes obstructed than VCs from patients with 10 or more revisions (p = 0.0484). VCs implanted for less than 3 months had fewer obstructed holes with protruding tissue aggregates than VCs implanted for 13 months or longer (p = 0.0225). Neither duration of implantation nor the number of lifetime revisions was a significant predictor of the degree of VC obstruction in the regression models. In the multinomial regression model, contact of the VCs with the ventricular wall robustly predicted the overall obstruction status of a VC (p = 0.005). In the mixed-effects model, the age of the patient at their first surgery emerged as a significant predictor of obstruction by protruding tissue aggregates (p = 0.002). VCs implanted through the parietal entry site were associated with more holes with nonobstructive growth and fewer empty holes than VCs implanted via other approaches (p = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The number of lifetime revisions and duration of implantation are correlated with the degree of VC obstruction but do not predict it. Contact of the VC with the ventricular wall and the age of the patient at their first surgery are predictors of the degree of VC obstruction, while the entry site of the VC correlates with it.

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE

Occipital neuralgia (ON) is a rare headache disorder characterized by sharp pain in the distribution of the greater occipital nerve (GON), lesser occipital nerve, or third occipital nerve. ON is commonly associated with traumatic injury, and effective identification and diagnosis can be difficult given the infrequent presentation and similarities to other pediatric headache disorders. While GON decompression has been well described in adults for refractory pain, there is a paucity of data in the pediatric population, with no previously published series on ON. The primary aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of pediatric patients with ON prior to surgical intervention and to describe the natural history of postoperative outcomes after decompression or neurectomy in a pediatric population.

METHODS

A single-center retrospective case series was performed to evaluate factors predisposing children to refractory ON and the surgical efficacy of GON decompression or neurectomy. Six patients (mean age 15.0 ± 2.2 years) were identified for inclusion from October 2021 to October 2022. All patients had refractory ON as diagnosed by a pediatric neurologist. After medical therapy and repeated occipital nerve blocks failed, the patients were referred for GON decompression. Five patients had a history of trauma.

RESULTS

Six patients were identified and treated in our cohort, highlighting the infrequency of this pathology. All had at least one occipital nerve block, with 83% receiving varied relief. All underwent bilateral decompression or neurectomy of the GON and experienced relief, reporting improved visual analog scale scores (mean 8.3 ± 0.9 preoperatively to 1.0 ± 2.2 postoperatively, p = 0.0009). The patients were followed for an average of 10 months, and their mean number of medications decreased from 2.7 ± 0.5 preoperatively to 0.8 ± 0.7 postoperatively (p = 0.019). Each patient reported numbness or tingling in the GON distribution postoperatively, which spontaneously resolved over time. Two patients had recurrent pain in a delayed fashion.

CONCLUSIONS

GON decompression and neurectomy are efficacious treatments of refractory ON in the pediatric population.
