Bartholin's cyst is a form of cystic (fluid-filled) tumor on the vulva. Bartholin's cyst is a cyst that forms due to blockage of the Bartholin's gland duct, which causes retention and cystic dilatation. Reports indicate that a 45-year-old woman came to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Polyclinic at Pertamina Bintang Amin Hospital, Malahayati Bandar Lampung, experiencing a recurrence of a left Bartholini abscess for the third time after two external incisions. The treatment carried out in this patient was given antibiotics and analgesics and it was recommended to do surgery with an extirpation procedure. Recurrent Bartholin's gland abscesses in women of reproductive age are generally associated with a risk of contact with sexually transmitted infection polymicrobials. Needle aspiration and incision and drainage are the two simplest procedures, not recommended because of the relatively increased recurrence rate.
Bartholin囊肿是一种外阴囊性(充满液体)肿瘤。巴托林囊肿是由于巴托林腺管阻塞而形成的囊肿，引起囊性扩张和潴留。报告显示，一名45岁的妇女来到Malahayati Bandar Lampung Pertamina Bintang Amin医院的妇产科综合诊所，经历了两次外部切口后第三次复发左侧Bartholini脓肿。对该患者进行的治疗是给予抗生素和止痛药，并建议进行手术切除手术。育龄妇女复发性巴托林腺脓肿通常与接触性传播感染多微生物的危险有关。针吸和切开引流是两种最简单的方法，但由于复发率相对较高，不推荐使用。

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is an emerging disease that has become pandemic. Healthcare workers are vulnerable persons due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Healthcare workers are a government priority in the COVID-19 vaccine program. Antibody titer evaluation to healthcare workers as the first liner is essential due to the risk of the job. Purposes: The study aims to assess IgG antibody humoral response in healthcare workers in the emergency unit of Anton Soedjarwo Hospital, Pontianak, before and after the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: This study was a descriptive study with a cohort method. Twenty-two healthcare workers in the Emergency Unit in Anton Soedjarwo Hospital, Pontianak, participated in the study. Three ml venous blood samples were collected from the participants in two periods to quantify IgG antibody titer. The first period was before the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and the second period was one month after the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) methods were used to quantification IgG antibodies against spike-receptor binding domain (S-RBD) protein of SARS-CoV-2 Results: One month before the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the majority of IgG antibodies show seropositivity (90.91%), with most on range 50-10,000 AU/ml (54.55%). Two participants (9.09%) show IgG antibodies less than 50 AU/ml (seronegative). One month after the third vaccination dose, all participants (100%) elicit IgG antibodies. Based on the comparison of IgG antibody titer before and after the third dose of the vaccine, the majority (68.18%) showed increasing the IgG antibody titer after the third vaccine. Conclusion: The third dose vaccine might effectively elevate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
背景:由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒-2 (SARS-CoV-2)引起的冠状病毒病2019 (COVID-19)是一种新兴疾病，已成为大流行疾病。医护人员是SARS-CoV-2感染的易感人群。在COVID-19疫苗项目中，医护人员是政府优先考虑的对象。鉴于工作的危险性，对医护人员进行抗体滴度评估是必不可少的。目的:本研究旨在评估Pontianak Anton Soedjarwo医院急诊科医护人员在第三剂COVID-19疫苗接种前后的IgG抗体体液反应。方法:采用队列法进行描述性研究。Pontianak Anton Soedjarwo医院急诊科的22名医护人员参加了这项研究。分两期采集受试者静脉血3 ml，定量IgG抗体滴度。第一个时期为第三剂疫苗接种前，第二个时期为第三剂疫苗接种后一个月。采用化学发光微粒免疫分析法(CMIA)对新冠病毒棘突受体结合域(S-RBD)蛋白IgG抗体进行定量分析。结果:在第三次疫苗接种前1个月，大多数IgG抗体呈血清阳性(90.91%)，阳性范围在50 ~ 10000 AU/ml之间(54.55%)。2例(9.09%)IgG抗体低于50 AU/ml(血清阴性)。在第三次接种后一个月，所有参与者(100%)均产生IgG抗体。比较第三次接种前后IgG抗体滴度，多数(68.18%)在第三次接种后IgG抗体滴度升高。结论:第三剂疫苗可有效提高对SARS-CoV-2感染的免疫应答。

Background: Corticosteroids are derivatives of steroid hormones that have the effect of inhibiting the inflammatory response. Glucocorticoid is the type of corticosteroid that is easy to obtain and has a high anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, glucocorticoids are often used in various therapies. However, the use of this drug should be monitored since its side effects can be harmful to the health as paralytic effects or even lethal effects. Purposes: This study aims to determine the behavior of using oral corticosteroids in patients at the Bebita Cicurug Clinic, Sukabumi. Methods: This is a descriptive quantitative research study. Data collection was done from September to December 2019. The respondents of this study were 96 subjects of Bebita Cicurug Clinic with a history of oral glucocorticoid usage. The data was taken using a questionnaire and medical records. Result: The most widely used glucocorticoid type is Methylprednisolone 4 mg and dexamethasone 0,5 mg. Overall, 89.6% of respondents used corticosteroids for a week or less. A total of 21.9% had tried to get corticosteroids without a prescription (self-medication), and all of them didn't get restricted on purchasing corticosteroids. Conclusion: In general, patients in this study had good behavior in using corticosteroids (using steroids according to a doctor's prescription), but 21.9% had tried to get corticosteroids without a prescription, and all of them didn't get restricted on purchasing corticosteroids. Doctors and health workers must clearly explain prescribed drugs' benefits and side effects, especially in patients with chronic diseases. Then ensure that the patient has understood the benefits and side effects of the medications used.

Background: Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a source of antioxidants with high content of polyphenols and anthocyanins. Grape skin is rich in flavonoids. Anthocyanins and flavonoids have the effect of lowering blood triglyceride levels. Purposes: This study aimed to determine the effect of using green grape extract (GGE) in lowering triglyceride levels in the blood. Methods: Five groups of white male rats (Rattus novergicus) were divided into a negative control group (KN), positive control (KP), rats with a GGE dose of 100 mg/200g BW as P1, rats with a GGE dose of 250mg/200g BW as P2, and rats with GGE dose of 500 mg/200g BW as P3. Each group was given a hypercholesterolemic diet for five weeks. Groups P1, P2, and P3 were given GGE according to their respective doses for 14 days, then measured triglyceride levels in the blood. Results: The results showed that GGE 500mg/200g BW significantly reduced triglyceride levels in all treated mice. Conclusion: These results indicate that GGE has a great potential to treat dyslipidemia by lowering triglyceride levels in the blood.

Background: The spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia in June 2020 does not yet show signs of a decrease. Therefore, Indonesia's Ministry of Education and Culture takes preventive transmission in the educational environment by making the decision letter with four ministers agreeing that learning in higher education of the academic year 2020/2021 in all zones shall be held online. Online learning is a learning system that does not need face to face directly but uses a platform that can help the process of distance learning. The burden of learning materials and academic demands of medical students can cause students anxiety, especially in the pandemic COVID-19. Purposes: to determine an overview of the medical students' psychological in distance learning during the pandemic COVID-19. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using descriptive quantitative analysis. The data used primary data through Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire. Results: The results of the study showed that the highest percentage is at mild anxiety about 47.3%, mild stress level with 7.8%, and mild depression that 13.2%. Factors that can lead to psychological disorders in medical students, the demands of learning, and a sense of worry excessive about the process and the results. Conclusions: Factors that lead to anxiety, stress, and depression in medical students when implementing distance learning can be different for each individual.

Background: Sepsis is a common, life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. In 2017, estimated cases for sepsis reached 48.9 million worldwide, with 11 million deaths. Adequate antibiotic therapy is crucial for the treatment of sepsis. Purposes: The objective of this study is to find factors related to sepsis patient outcomes. Methods: We conducted a 1-year retrospective descriptive study with the inclusion criteria of all adult sepsis patients in Tarakan District Hospital in 2018. We compiled 39 samples that fit the inclusion criteria. Results: The distribution gender of this study were 51.2% female and 48.8% male patients; with most patients in the age of <65 years old (53.8%), <7 days in the length of stay (72%), and the most common source of infection was gastrointestinal (33.3%) followed by lungs (28.2%). Conclusion: We found a mortality rate of 59%, with the most common source of infection leading to death was the lungs (81.2%) and treated with single ceftriaxone antibiotic therapy (78.3%). Another factor associated with mortality is inadequate single antibiotic therapy.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many impacts on various aspects of life, one of which is education. The education system has changed from face-to-face to online learning methods. Online learning methods make students more likely to use digital media such as computers, laptops or mobile phones. The use of digital media that occurs continuously and without being balanced with sufficient knowledge can certainly have impacts on eye health. One form of eye health problems that often arise due to the use of digital media is computer vision syndrome (CVS). Purposes: Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to see the picture of students' knowledge about this disorder. Methods: The method used in this research is cross-sectional descriptive. Result: The mean age of the respondents was 19.91±1.648 years. A total of 82.7% of respondents complained of having more than 5 symptoms and as many as 98.5% had CVS. 90.6% of respondents complained about fatigue eyes, followed by 80.5% complained about eye strain symptoms and 80.5% complained about headaches, 42.9% of respondents have a lack of knowledge about CVS and only 15.4% of respondents have a good level of knowledge about CVS. Conclusion: It can be concluded that respondents’ lack of knowledge about CVS is the cause of the high prevalence of CVS in students, so they don’t know how to prevent this CVS. Therefore, it is necessary to take actions to increase students' knowledge about this disorder, so that it doesn’t cause negative impacts on eye health in the future.

Background: Chronic gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, accompanied by changes in mucosal histology with or without Helicobacter pylori infection. Changes in the gastric mucosa include gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and epithelial dysplasia. Purposes: This study aims to determine the microscopic appearance of the mucosa in chronic gastritis patients based on standard histopathological criteria, which include gland atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia with or without Helicobacter pylori infection at Pertamina Central Hospital Jakarta period 2018 - 2019. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a cross-sectional study from March 15 to March 25, 2020. Results: This study reported 303 cases of active chronic gastritis (38.4%) out of 790 total samples that met the inclusion criteria. Microscopic changes of the mucosa were found in the form of atrophy of the mucous glands in 254 cases (32.2%), intestinal metaplasia in 25 cases (3.2%), and epithelial dysplasia cases in 23 cases (2.9%). Conclusion: the proportion of active chronic gastritis patients found in this study was helicobacter pylori infection is more dominantly found in patients with active chronic gastritis than in non-active chronic gastritis. The description of atrophic glands in chronic gastritis patients was more dominant than parameters based on intestinal metaplasia and epithelial dysplasia. It was a finding of intestinal metaplasia compared to all cases showing risk factors that require further clinical observation (follow-up) to detect potential malignancies earlier so that it is necessary to do more preventive action.

It was a finding of intestinal metaplasia compared to all cases showing risk factors that require further clinical observation (follow-up) to detect potential malignancies earlier so that it is necessary to do more preventive action.","PeriodicalId":32215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Muhammadiyah Medical Laboratory Technologist","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75732979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Background: Labour and birth are physiological and normal events. The process is considered to be normal if it takes 37-42 weeks without any complications. Non-pharmacological methods to speed up the progress of labour include birthing ball exercises. The Birthing ball exercise is a technique to help the progress of labour that can be used during the first stage of labour. Until now, birthing balls are not widely known and not common, even though birthing balls are very effective in accelerating the birth process. The advantage of using the birthing ball is that it increases blood flow to the uterus, placenta and baby, and provides comfort for the knees and ankles. Purposes: The purpose of this study was to determine the average length of the first stage of labour in primigravida using a birthing ball and those not using a birthing ball and the effect of the birthing ball on the duration of the first stage of labour in primigravida. Method: This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a Randomized Two-Group design, Post-test only. This study was held at Utama Barokah Clinic, Bandung from June to July 2021. Result: The research sample was 30 respondents, primigravida during the first stage of labour with data analysis using the Mann Whitney test, and the p value <0.05 was obtained. Conclusion: There was a difference in the average length of the first stage of labour in primigravida using a birthing ball and those not using a birthing ball.

Background: Stroke is the second largest cause of death in the world. Stroke is classified based on its etiology as ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Most large-scale studies on the risk of total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in stroke are not distinguished between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Purposes: The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in ischemic stroke patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Method: Descriptive analytic study using medical records of patients at Medan Haji General Hospital in 2018-2019. The number of ischemic stroke patients is 28 patients and hemorrhagic stroke 28 patients with a total sample of 56 patients. Results: In ischemic stroke patients, the average value of triglyceride levels was 144.75 mg/dL and the average value of total cholesterol was 250.93 mg/dL. In hemorrhagic stroke patients, the average value of triglyceride levels is 126.93 mg/dL and the average total cholesterol level is 174.25 mg/dL. Conclusion: From this study we found a significant difference in total cholesterol between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. No significant difference was found in triglycerides between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
