Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterised by persistent hyperglycemia. The etiology of the condition could stem from issues related to insulin secretion, peripheral insulin resistance, or a combination of both factors. Slow deep breathing (SDB) is abdominal breathing with a slow or slow frequency, rhythmic and comfortable which is done by closing the eyes and blowing air through the lips. SDB technique is done for 15 minutes 3 times a day, can be accomplished at any time. It is anticipated that there will be a globally recognised standard for Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) procedures. This will facilitate further research utilizing larger sample sizes for more robust analysis. Aims: to detect the effect of the application of SDB to DM Type II patient experiencing anxiety during the treatment at Royal Prima Hospital. Study design: the chosen design was a quasi experiment with a case study with the use of the SPSS. The sample size comprised a singular participant meeting the criteria of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) accompanied by comorbid anxiety and undergoing treatment for a duration exceeding 48 hours. Data collection methods encompassed interviews, interventions, observations, documentation, and subsequent evaluations. Place and Duration of Study: Royal Prima Hospital and 1 month Methodology: quantitative methods were employed, adhering to ethical guidelines that included obtaining informed consent from participants who agreed to partake as respondents. Results: after SDB intervention the blood pressure was reduced from the first examination, and the period of sleep from 4 to 6-8 hours, the patient's anxiety was reduced as well as the dizziness. The patient exhibited a noticeable reduction in signs of tension. Conclusion: Slow Deep Breathing (SDB) can reduce anxiety in DM Type II patients.

When comparing the current capabilities of medicine in diagnosis and treatment with those of twenty years ago, one can certainly say that back then, such advancements were merely a dream. The success in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention is usually the result of knowledge synthesis accumulated over several centuries. This becomes possible due to the development of such disciplines as molecular biology, genetic engineering, systems biology, nanomedicine, and regenerative medicine. Modern technologies make it possible to manage many processes and digitisation covers more and more fields of medicine. Aim: of the research was to carry out a literature search concerning the importance of fundamental sciences knowledge, to familiarise with some modern directions: genetic engineering, molecular biology, nanotechnology and others, to demonstrate the successful implementation of their assets in diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Methodology: a generalisation and scientific publications analysis over the past 5 years on the topic of this study has been carried out. To search for literary sources, databases and search engines, focusing primarily on PubMed for the research topic were utilised. Results: Following a literature analysis, undeniable confirmation that biomedical sciences—physiology, pathophysiology, pathomorphology, and microbiology—were the essential foundation without which success in treatment and diagnosis would be unattainable was discovered. The accumulation of the database opened up new promising ways of theoretical medicine. The success of molecular biology and biochemistry has become a source for the successful development of nanotechnology, genetic engineering and regenerative medicine. Scientific Novelty: the novelty of this research is in tracking the correlation between fundamental medical and biological sciences and the development of modern areas of medicine. Conclusion: the presented literature search demonstrated that the theoretical foundations of medicine are extremely important and allow to successfully develop modern directions of medicine and introduce them into clinical medicine.

Ergospirometry is a modern approach to the diagnosis of physical health that involves the use of exercise testing to measure cardiopulmonary function. Aims: To compare the distribution of health characteristics and their relationship between participants, to evaluate the accuracy of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes in both groups, to measure respiratory rate and heart rate between ergospirometric testing and traditional testing for physical health assessment. Study design: A comparative cross-sectional design to assess ergospirometric testing and traditional testing for physical health assessment. Methodology: The study employed a comparative cross-sectional design, utilizing convenience sampling to recruit participants for ergospirometric testing on a treadmill and the traditional 6-Minute Walk Test. Sample size determination yielded 100 participants (50 per group). Data on sociodemographic, comorbidities, and physiological parameters were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and independent sample t-tests. Results: The study compared Ergometric testing on a treadmill with the Traditional 6-Minute Walk Test across various parameters. Participants undergoing Ergometric testing were younger with more females and smokers, while the Walk Test group had higher BMI and exercise rates. Ergometric testing revealed higher rates of hypertension (P = 0.034) and hyperlipidemia (P = 0.021) but lower diabetes prevalence (P = 0.016). Additionally, Ergometric testing showed a better detection of respiratory parameters, exercise stress detection (P = 0.009), and cardiovascular parameters as compared to Traditional testing. Furthermore, it has a higher sensitivity 85% and specificity 80% compared to the traditional testing having sensitivity 75%, and specificity 70%. Scientific Novelty: Spirometry testing has made an impact on physical examination today; using advanced technology to achieve the best, sensitivity and specificity marks changes in the actual examination. Conclusion: Ergometric testing (treadmill) shows a significant advantage over traditional testing (6-Minute Walk Test) in diagnosing physical health conditions with a high sensitivity, specificity, and comprehensive parameter assessment.

The purpose of this research was to determine the potential dangers to kidney health associated with acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel treatment in patients with vascular diseases. Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was employed in the study, as well as retrospective data collection methods on medical records, and purposive sampling-based data sampling methodologies. Results: The study's findings indicated that there was no significant correlation between the use of antiplatelets and the risk of developing kidney disorders. It is rather, a patient's lifestyle, use of medications that increase the risk of renal GFR, and co-occurring diseases that may impair blood flow in the renal afferen can all increase their risk of developing a renal disorder with p-value <0.05. Nevertheless, the prolonged use of medication also plays a significant role in kidney function. The study's results indicate that renal problems are not attributed to the usage of antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid. Scientific Novelty: Several using antiplatelet for indicated cardiovascular disease such us, atherosclerosis, plaque formation, endothelial dysfunction, and blockage or damage to the vascular endotelial matrix are all symptoms of vascular disease, a progressive inflammatory illness, it's frequently associated with the risk of kidney disorders. The use of antiplatelet will enlarge the afferent blood vessels. Conclusion: Instead, factors such as a patient's lifestyle, the severity of their condition, and their medical history could have a more significant impact on the likelihood of developing kidney dysfunction.

Aims: to explore the relationship between consuming contaminated well water and cognitive function among well water users in Jember Regency; to understand the sociodemographic characteristics based on age, gender, and education level; to assess the quality of well water used by residents; and to describe the cognitive function of well water users. Study Design: this study employed an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. Place and Duration of Study: this research was carried out in a village in Jember Regency, Indonesia from September to November 2023 Methodology: well water samples were measured by the polluted index (IPj) method as well as the cognitive function was measured by MMSE. There were 46 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtained 29 well water samples. Results: 1 well water sample (3.45%) was found to be in good condition, while 20 well water samples (69%) were categorized as lightly polluted. Additionally, 5 well water samples (17.24%) were moderately polluted, and 3 well water samples (10.24%) were heavily polluted. Regarding cognitive function, 30 respondents (65.2%) fell into the normal category, 11 respondents (23.9%) were classified as having Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and 5 respondents (10.9%) were diagnosed with dementia. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation (p-value = 0.001) between well water quality and cognitive function in well water users, with a correlation coefficient of -0.473. Conclusion: There is a clear relationship between contaminated well water and cognitive function in well water users. Deteriorating water quality correlates with a decline in cognitive function.
