Published: November 2020

PurposeTo predict the anterior chamber volume (ACV) after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation based on ICL size and parameters of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).DesignRetrospective study.MethodsThis study included 222 eyes of 222 patients who underwent ICL implantation at Nagoya Eye Clinic. The patients were divided into two groups: prediction group, for creating the prediction equation (148 eyes, mean age: 32.11 ± 8.04 years), and verification group, for verifying the equation (74 eyes, mean age: 33.03 ± 6.74 years). The angle opening distance (AOD), anterior chamber width (ACW), ACV, anterior chamber depth, lens vault, angle-to-angle distance, angle recess area, and trabecular iris space area were calculated using AS-OCT. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed. After the creation of the prediction equation, its accuracy was verified in the verification group.ResultsThe ACV, AOD750, ACW, and ICL size were selected as explanatory variables to predict postoperative ACV. Mean predicted (114.2 ± 21.83 mm3) and actual postoperative ACVs (116.1 ± 25.41 mm3) were not significantly different (P = 0.269); absolute error was 10.59 ± 9.13 mm3. In addition, there was high correlation between actual and predictive ACV (adjusted R2= 0.6996, p < 0.0001). Bland-Altman plot revealed that there was no addition or proportional error between predicted and actual postoperative ACV.ConclusionPostoperative ACV was accurately predicted using AS-OCT parameters and ICL size. This prediction equation may be useful for making decisions regarding ICL size.

Published: November 2020

Em um cenário tão delicado e sensível da pandemia de COVID-19, os desafios enfrentados não se restringem somente ao combate do vírus, mas também às crises econômica e político-social por quais os países atravessam. Considerando esse contexto crítico por qual estamos passando, tem-se como principal objetivo deste artigo de debate: a análise e a reflexão sobre o tema, observando-se, a partir do cenário brasileiro: o uso indiscriminado da cloroquina e como ele se relaciona à atual conjuntura política do país. Enquanto empresas farmacêuticas intensificam pesquisas e estudos clínicos em busca de vacinas e medicamentos eficazes na prevenção e tratamento do coronavírus, alguns governos disseminam e impõem a prescrição da cloroquina/hidroxicloriquina como sendo a cura para a pandemia, mesmo sem nenhuma comprovação de segurança e eficácia para essa indicação. No Brasil, temos um governo ultraliberal e neofascista que desde o início da pandemia vem tomando ações contrárias as orientadas pela OMS. Como agravante, possui ainda um cenário bem peculiar como: troca de dois ministros da saúde nos últimos 3 meses, incorporação da cloroquina no protocolo de tratamento de pessoas infectadas por COVID-19 e importação de 2 milhões de doses do medicamento dos Estados Unidos. Neste contexto, cabe aos trabalhadores da saúde e cientistas um olhar crítico sobre as medidas de enfrentamento à pandemia e suas contradições ao modo de produção capitalista.

Public Spending on Health as Political Instrument? – Regime-type dependency of public spending
Authors: Münch Angela , Fielding David , Freytag Andreas 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The paper argues that the level of public spending on health varies according to the type of political regime in a country. A simple political economic model is employed to analyse the rationale of policy makers when implementing healthcare policy. The theory of dictatorship as described by Wintrobe (1990, 1998, 2001) is used to differentiate between the types of autocratic regimes. Furthermore, an empirical analysis is conducted for 170 countries for the years 1995-2014. We found that public spending on health is decreasing with the level of political freedom. At the same time, public spending on health care competes with military expenditures. Moreover, public spending on health in neighbouring countries affects the level of public spending within the country.

Published: November 2020

Background: Vulnerability among older women than older men create a different challenge to achieve their quality of life. A different place to stay and the aging process can affect a high risk of malnutrition among older people. Based on Indonesia regulation, no. 11/2009, the government builds one program to ensure older people get social welfare. But negative stigma toward panti wreda from community provokes panti wredaâ€™s challenge in their services. Moreover, the different aging process creates a different challenge. Sometimes, older people find it difficult to communicate in recent places, different physical activity, and nutrition status.Â Objective: To explore quality life from older women in panti wreda from the social and nutrition aspect.Â Methods: This study uses descriptive quantitative methods. Recall, Index Bartel, and Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA) are used to collect data in Panti Wreda Sosial Salib Putih. Data can be obtained from 13 older women among 16 total older women in Panti Wreda. Three older women cannot be collected regarding their condition, i.e., bed rest and mental health problems.Result: Panti Wreda Sosial Salib Putih has the challenge of providing diet requirements among older women. The tight budget causes Panti Wreda Sosial Salib Putih only to provide indifferent food every day. Limited diet requirements among older people lead to a high risk of malnutrition. Recall data show that older people in Panti Wreda Sosial Salib Putih have excess in protein and fats. And based on MNA, 7 older women from 13 older women in total have malnutrition, while data from index bartel show that all older women have independent status.Â Conclusion: older women in Panti Wreda Salib Putih still have the challenge to meet their diet requirements while independent status can create a new challenge to have malnutrition.

Authors: Karna Ni Luh Putu Ratih Vibriyanti 
Published: November 2020

Background: Trichomoniasis is a rare, sexually transmitted infection. Trichomoniasis can often coincide with other pathogens that cause genital infections. Menopausal women remain at risk of developing this disease due to physiological and anatomical changes in the female genital organs.Case: A woman, age 61 years, experience vaginal discharge from one month with itching in the genital area. The last menstruation period was 7 years ago. The patient had one sexual intercourse a month ago with her boyfriend; it was the first sexual contact since 7 years ago, without using a condom.Result: Pelvic examination reveal vaginal wall erythema, yellowish discharge on the fornix posterior, and cervical, watery consistency. Leukocytes 20-25 per field view and Trichomonas vaginalis was found on laboratory examination. pH examination on the vagina was 8. The patient was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis, and nongonococcal cervicitis was given metronidazole 2 x 500 mg, azithromycin 1000 mg single dose for therapy. After therapy with metronidazole, there is an increase in pH that occurred a week after therapy, which amounted to 10 and decreased one week later to 8. An increase in leukocytes also accompanied increased pH in cases, so that co-infection with other germs should be considered.Â Conclusion: Examination of wet vaginal preparations revealed trichomonas vaginalis that are alive and moving. In follow-up observations, there was an increase in vaginal pH and increased leukocytes in the vaginal gram. Specific causative bacteria were not found, and thus, the patient was diagnosed with a non-specific genital infection on further observation.

Background:Â The ageing process (photoaging) can be caused by sun exposure, especially ultraviolet light. Organic and inorganic sunscreen products are commercially available. Two calixarene organic compounds, namely C-phenylcalix[4]resorcinaryl octacinnamate and C-methylcalix[4]resorcinaryl octabenzoate, have been successfully synthesized. Besides, the antioxidant quercetin can be potentially combined with these two compounds since ultraviolet rays also cause reactive oxygen species. This study aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity profileÂ in vitroÂ by cell line Vero and to develop the optimal activity of the product in New Zealand rabbit skin.Methods:Â Optimal formulation of three formulas nanoemulgel of sunscreen was usingÂ Â D Optimal Mixture Design.Â Acute cytotoxicity testÂ in vitroÂ by culture cell line Vero was usingÂ randomized post-test only control group design. The activity of the product was measured by the value of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) in vivo usingÂ randomized post-test only control group design.Â Data of acute toxicity in vitro test (IC50 value) was analyzed using probit analysis and activity sun protection factor was analyzed using one-way ANOVA on SPSS version 20 for Windows.Â Results:Â TheÂ in-vitroÂ toxicity test of formula 1, 2, 3 nanoemulgel were 2,940.569 Âµg/mL, 13,489.728 Âµg/mL, and 6,289.248 Âµg/mL respectively. The formula 1 nanoemulgel sunscreen products were produced with the three highest SPF values. SPFÂ in vivoÂ test showed that the nanoemulgel protection capability of the formula 1 with three different doses were 34; 36; dan 43 respectively.Â Conclusion:Â It can be concluded that the nanoemulgel sunscreen products were successfully formulated with high in vivo SPF value and can be potentially developed as organic sunscreens in the future because it is not toxic in culture cell.

Published: November 2020

Background: Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) can reduce the Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis (APT) in People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Â IPT is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). It has not been implemented routinely in all countries.Aim: To evaluate whether IPT in PLWHA reduces the APT at Wangaya Hospital, in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted during October 2014 until November 2016. A total of 244 PLWHA were included in this study. The first group were 122 participants received antiretroviral therapy (ART) and IPT and 122 participants received only ART (second group). Cox regression analysis was employed to calculate effects in both groups and to identify predictor factors for active tuberculosis. The statistical analysis performed with cox proportional hazard model.Results: There were 137 (56.1%) males and 107 (43.9%) females. Incidence of APT in the IPT group was 1.09 per 100 person years and non IPT groups was 12.57 per 100 person years. Incidence of APT in the non IPT groups was significantly higher than in the IPT groups with crude hazard ratio (cHR) of 12.59 (95% CI: 2.70-53.43). After variables adjustment for age, sex and CD4 count, the incidence of APT in the non IPT group were found with adjustment hazard ratio (aHR) of 10.26 (95% CI: 2.15-48.99).Conclusion: Â The incidence of APT was significantly higher in the non IPT group than in the IPT group.

Published: November 2020

Background: The management of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has evolved to become a combination of initial cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy has been regarded as standard therapy for the majority of women with advanced EOC for several decades. A thorough understanding of drug resistance mechanisms is needed, as this remains the largest obstacle in treating patients with recurrent disease. The aim of characterized by age of women, type, stage, grade and clinical staging of the tumor.Methods: Data from regimens containing platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) used in treating ovarian carcinoma in Sarjito General Hospital were analyzed prospectively. Relative dose intensity was calculated as a fraction of the dosage of a drug in the standard regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and platinum.Results: Â Â The higher age of women will have lower response to chemotherapy. Women aged below 50 years old are much higher responsive to chemotherapy.Conclusion: Cisplatin based chemotherapy has a better response to ovarian carcinoma in earlier stage. In higher stage, it will give a complete removal of all macroscopic tumor tissue.

Published: November 2020

Backgrounds: Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) was almost considered dogmatic in colorectal surgery. There are several methods known to perform MBP. Anastomotic leakage is considered higher in patients who had MBP, and it is thought due to alteration colonic morphologic, electrolyte and fluid imbalance.Methods: This is an experimental study divided into two groups.Â This study aims to determine the difference in collagen density, amount of fibroblast and histopathologic features in the anastomotic site between Wistar rats that had MBP and without MBP to the colonic anastomosis. The first group consists of 6 Wistar rats who had colonic anastomosis without MBP, and the second group consists of 6 Wistar rats who had colonic anastomosis with BMP. On the 10th day after surgery, histopathology examination is performed with regards to collagen density, the number of fibroblasts, infiltration of inflammatory cells and the degree of bowel wall damage at the anastomotic site. Independent t-test is used to analyze the data if it is normally distributed and Mann-Whitney test is used if the data is not normally distributed.Results: The amount of fibroblast was significant difference between two groups (p=0.02), which is amount of fibroblast in the second group (3.83 Â± 0.408) is higher than the first group (2.33 Â± 0.816). Meanwhile, there is no significant difference regarding collagen density, infiltration of inflammatory cells and the degree of bowel wall damage (p=0.59, p=0.082 dan p=1.00).Conclusion: The conclusion of this research is by performing MBP prior to colonic anastomosis will exert the effect of more abundant fibroblast.

In some trainings, the participants felt uncomfortable which can be seen from the level of fatigue and complaints caused by an uncomfortable sitting position due to poor design of tables and chairs. This condition is very detrimental to participants.Methods: This treatment by subject design study did from April to November 2019. The participants were who attended the HAS Training-23000 that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Samples then grouped into three group with different condition in each. We took indoor environment data and each sample about sample characteristics and business characteristics. Muscle complaints took by subjective questionnaires before and after training. The data analyzed by SPSS and p<0.05 was significant.Results: Total 120 participants were included consisting of 40 participants in each condition. Â The indoor environment conditions in the three conditions are the same (p>0.05). There were significant reduce of score of musculoskeletal complaints and fatigue before and after trainings in each condition (p<0.0001). Seats with multilevel arrangement (condition III) have the lowest value of musculoskeletal complaints and fatigue.Conclusions: The smooth communication among participants influences the speed in implementing participatory ergonomics. The use of tables and chairs with a seating capacity of 6 people/table is the most effective when compared to others. The application of participatory ergonomics can reduce musculoskeletal complaints and fatigue of participants of the Halal Assurance System.
