Journal ID : AMJ-25-03-2023-11379; Author : Deris Aprianty, Agus Bachtiar, Irma Nuraeni,
Abstract : The First Thousand Days of Life (HPK) is a period of 270 days (9 months) in the womb and 730 days (the first 2 years) post-birth. A thousand HPK is very important because the impact of malnutrition in this period is permanent and long-term. The effect of malnutrition in the womb can extend to three generations. Evidence from India that malnourished children are likely to become short adults and then tend to give birth to small babies who are at risk of low risk of dwelling achievement and ultimately have low economic status. Stunting at an early age can predict cognitive performance and the risk of coroner's heart disease in adults (Achadi EL, 2013). The purpose of this study is to find out the risk factors for pregnant women related to stunting in babies in Bungursari District, Tasikmalaya City. Benefits: The benefits of research are to provide input to policyholders and the public that the risk factors experienced by hami mothers will cause stunting events in the baby she is about to give birth to. This research methodology uses kinds prospective cohort research, using quantitative analysis. The subjects of the study were neonatal babies and their mothers. The study was conducted in Bungursari Subdistrict, Tasikmalaya City from May to December 2017 with the sampling technique being proportionate stratified random sampling. The conclusion of the study results is that there is no relationship between socioeconomic characteristics, energy intake, iron intake, zinc intake, and nutritional status of pregnant women with stunting events in infants. There is a meaningful relationship between the history of infectious diseases of pregnant women (p = 0.41) and the incidence of stunting in infants.

Journal ID : AMJ-24-03-2023-11376; Author : Harapan Parlindungan Ringoringo, Budi Septiawan,
Abstract : Globally, the prevalence of anemia was highest among children under five years, at 39.7%. The main factor is iron deficiency (ID). However, the particular iron status parameter for early detection of ID in babies has yet to be determined. To establish reference intervals for reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) in healthy term babies seven days after birth. A cross-sectional study of Ret-He in healthy-term babies seven days after delivery was conducted from April to December 2018 at Idaman Banjarbaru Hospital. Two hundred seventy-seven healthy-term babies met the inclusion criteria. There were 145 (52.35%) male babies and 132 (47.65%) female babies. The reference interval for Ret-He at P2.5-P97.5, P3-P97, and mean ±2SD was 29.06 to 40.11pg, 29.24 to 39.97 pg, 29,46 to 38.01 pg, respectively. In addition, the reference interval for male babies Ret-He at P2.5-P97.5, P3-P97, and mean ±2SD was 28.17 to 41.44 pg, 28.54 to 41.25 pg, and 29.28 to 41.24 pg, respectively. The reference interval for female babies Ret-He at P2.5-P97.5, P3-P97, and mean ±2SD was 29.73 to 39.80, 30.00 to 39.60, 29.71 to 0.43 pg, respectively. Conclusion: The reference interval for Ret-He in healthy-term babies one week after birth can be used as a benchmark.

Journal ID : AMJ-24-03-2023-11373; Author : Siti Maemun, Aninda Dinar Widiantari, Farida Murtiani, Nazlah, Andi Dala Intan Sapta Nanda, Herlian, Anita Puspitasari Dyah Nugroho, Kunti Wijiarti, Intan Pertiwi, Santi Kurniastuti, Renti Mahkota, Masdalina Pane,
Abstract : SARS-COV2 causes highly contagious, brand-new emerging disease called Covid-19. Unlike other zoonotic disease, the disease transmit human to human. As massive mobility spread throughout the world, we should find a method to detect and stop the transmission. Hospital-based surveillance was one of surveillance strategy that was effective to early detection and easy to apply. This study described application of hospital-based surveillance strategy in one of national referral hospital for infectious disease. We analyse trends in People Under Observation (PUO), Patients Under Investigation (PUI), and mortality rate in beginning of pandemic era in Indonesia. These findings have become part of the National guideline for Covid-19 prevention and control in the surveillance and clinical management chapter. We studied PUO in early pandemic era in Indonesia from February 1st to May 31st 2020. We also analyse inpatient cases (PUI) of COVID-19 in Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital throughout the year. We analysed hospital-based surveillance system, by the case terminology proposed in the National Guideline. Case confirmed was signed by positive RT-PCR via nasopharynx and oropharynx swab. Data analysis was done by performing frequency measurement and chi-square. We screened a total of 2555 PUO during the study in the beginning of pandemic in Indonesia with travel history to region where covid-19 had already presented, history of close contact and/or presented covid-19 like symptoms. Until the end of 2022, we treated 3928 Patients Under Investigation which 3694 of them (82.6%) were confirmed COVID-19 cases. Most of the confirmed case was male (50.4%) in 19-59 years old (66,7%). The most presented symptoms were cough (78,5%), fever (51,5%), and shortness of breath (37%). Among the confirmed cases, 1076 cases were treated in intensive room (29,12%). We remarkably found majority cases weren’t presented comorbid disease (86,6%). Mortality rate reached to 13% while length of stay more than 14 days seized 23,8%. We performed hospital-based surveillance as a quick response to brand new emerging disease, covid-19. A quick and simple screening was needed for rapid case detection and prevent advance transmission. Hospital-based surveillance was also required to project health care capacity.

Journal ID : AMJ-21-03-2023-11370; Author : R. Gardeva, J. Marinova, G. Chamova, B. Parashkevova, R. Argirova,
Abstract : The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic effect on health, economic growth, employment, and way of life worldwide. To measure the effect of the coronavirus oandemic on STIs in public healthcare, multiple studies have been carried out concerning key elements, such as: challenges and management. To review literature focused on studies in global and national aspects concerning initiatives in public healthcare to curb the coronavirus pandemic and at the same time have an effect on the levels of sexually transmissive infections. A review of studies has been carried out for the period January 2020 - November 2022 in databases PubMed, and Google Scholar, as well as data from international and national platforms with the following keywords: “COVID-19”, “STI”, “Challenges”,” Management”. The review outlines the conceptual framework of the issue on a global level. The majority of authors take into consideration major points such as management and challenges to them concerning the coronavirus pandemic and STI. Major challenges to the management of the most common STI in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures for curbing it have been presented and discussed. The global COVID-19 pandemic and STIs have their intersection point consisting of significant effects on the prevention, therapy, and monitoring of these diseases. At the same time, there are no sufficient studies on the topic about lower-income countries, аnd high-risk social groups.

Comparison of Postoperative Pain Between Erector Spinae Plane Block and Parasternal Block in Open Cardiac Surgery
Journal ID : AMJ-21-03-2023-11366; Author : Reza Widianto Sudjud, Muhammad Budi Kurniawan, Hana Nur Ramila,
Abstract : Postoperative pain is a complaint that must be effectively managed. Various analgetic methods are implemented to alleviate open cardiac surgery for postoperative pain, but none of the methods is ideal for managing postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block is a new technique in open cardiac surgery for postoperative pain. This study aims to determine the difference in post-open cardiac surgery pain measured by using the VAS pain scale in patients with erector spinae plane block and parasternal block. The study was conducted in June-November 2021 in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. This was a single-blind control trial in thirty patients. Patients were divided into two groups, a parasternal block group (group A, n=15) and an erector spinae plane block group (group B, n=15). Postoperative pain was measured by using the VAS pain scale on hours 0-1, 1-6, 6-12, and 12-24. Numerical data were analyzed by using the unpaired T-test and the Mann-Whitney test. Categorical data used the Chi-Square test. ESP blockade has higher effectiveness than a parasternal block in managing pain after open cardiac surgery.

Relationship Between C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Value, Total Lymphocyte Count (TLC), Lung Compliance And P/F Ratio In Critical Covid-19 Patients With Mechanical Ventilators In ICU
Journal ID : AMJ-21-03-2023-11365; Author : Erwin Pradian, Suwarman, Reza Widianto Sudjud,
Abstract : COVID-19 infection can progress to severe pneumonia, pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or multi-organ failure. A severe inflammatory response contributes to the clinical manifestations of patients with COVID-19. Therefore, circulating biomarkers such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Value, Total Lymphocyte Count (Tlc) can represent inflammation which can be a good predictor for the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the Relationship Between C-Reactive Protein (Crp) Value, Total Lymphocyte Count (Tlc), Lung Compliance And P/F Ratio In Critical Covid-19 Patients With Mechanical Ventilators In ICU. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design (cross-sectional). The method used in this study is diagnostic analysis by assessing sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. Data retrieval was carried out retrospectively which was taken from tracing data documents of COVID-19 patients who were treated in the ICU of RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin. Low levels of lung compliance are known to predict the length of stay in the ICU but cannot predict the mortality rate of critically ill COVID19 patients. There is a significant relationship between the value of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Total Lymphocyte Count (TLC), Lung Compliance and P/F Ratio with the prognosis of critically ill Covid-19 patients in the ICU Dr. Hasan Sadikin.

Study the effect of implementation of connective tissue graft during the orthodontic treatment of crowding in the mandibular anterior teeth
Journal ID : AMJ-20-03-2023-11361; Author : Mai Souliman, Tarek Al-Shwaiki, Tareq Kassem, Rania Haddad,
Abstract : This research aims to study the periodontal parameters after implementing the connective graft by tunnel- technique in patients with crowding in the mandibular anterior region. The randomized controlled clinical study sample consisted of 24 patients (12 patients in the control group and 12 patients in the experimental group), who were distributed into two groups according to the sequence of their admissions. Patients with single numbers were treated by implementing the connective tissue graft before the orthodontic. Patients with double numbers were treated with orthodontics only. The gingival recession and thickness were measured before and at the end of treatment. In addition, Little's irregularity index was measured every month until the end of treatment. The results showed an increase in gingival thickness in the experimental group. Gingival recession did not occur in the control or experimental group. The improvement in crowding was noticed in the experimental group's first and second treatment sessions. The implementation of connective tissue graft by tunnel technique is indicated before the orthodontic treatment in patients with thin gingival biotypes, where it increases the gingival thickness without accelerating the orthodontic movement in cases of crowding in the mandibular anterior region. Moreover, orthodontic treatment does not cause gingival recession.
