Dysmenorrhea is pain felt in the lower abdomen during menstruation due to an imbalance of prostaglandin hormones.Learning activities are student activities in the learning process, both physical activities and psychological activities. One factor that can interfere with learning activities is the level of dysmenorrhea pain. Learning requires a healthy physique, because it will affect body tissues so that learning activities are also good, while physical pain will cause fatigue, lack of enthusiasm, dizziness, etc.WHO (World Health Organization) says the incidence of dysmenorrhea is 1,769,425 people, almost (90%) women experience dysmenorrhea. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between dysmenorrhea pain levels and learning activities in female nursing students at the Immanuel Health Institute.The study was conducted in 2023 using a quantitative approach. The design of this study was Cross sectional with a population of 256 students and a sample of 68 female students using proportional stratified random sampling technique. The results of the analysis found that more than half (73.5%) of female students had their learning activities disrupted and obtained a significant P-value of 0.02<0.05 which means there is a relationship between the level of dysmenorrhea pain and learning activities at the Immanuel Health Institute. Suggestions in this study are the need for relaxation techniques to divert pain for students with various techniques such as deep breathing, listening to music and other non-pharmacological therapies.

Counseling services from pharmacists provide education about how to take medication, the amount and consistency in taking medication for patients in the hope that the patient will comply with the treatment or therapy they are undergoing. One thing that influences patient compliance is the level of patient knowledge that can be obtained from counseling. The aim of this study was to determine the level of compliance of hypertensive patients at La Temmamala Regional Hospital, Soppeng Regency with the counseling provided. This research used a sample of 59 respondents. With this type of research, one group pre-test and post-test design. The pretest was carried out on respondents who were then given treatment in the form of intervention, namely counseling. The posttest is carried out when taking the next drug. The research results showed an increase in the level of compliance after providing counseling. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed that there was a significant influence (p=0.00001) between the pretest and posttest scores. Pretest data for patients with a low level of compliance was 89.84%, moderate compliance was 10.16%. Posttest data for patients with moderate levels of compliance was 54.24% and high compliance was 45.76%.

Cinnamon is used in knocking and medicine for many centuries and in different countries. Several researches about cinnamon have exhibited its curative potentials, which include: immunomodulatory, gastroprotective, antidiabetic, antilipemic, antihypertensive, antitumor, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, antimicrobial. Cinnamaldehyde, Eugenol and Beta-caryophyllene are the major active ingredients in cinnamon. The mode of action for the therapeutic effects indicating the anti-diabetic and antihypertensive activities of cinnamon and its chemical components have not been deeply investigated. May systematic review articles have found that the taking the extracts or having cinnamon tea have potential antidiabetic effects. Researches about the action of cinnamon on hypertension still debated. However, a number of experimental trials have found significant antihypertensive effect for cinnamon. This review cast a brief light on the active ingredients and the activity of cinnamon in the reduction of high blood pressure and hyperglycemic status.

Benign orbital tumor is known to be with a broad variation in the clinical features and findings. Tumors in this small cavity could quickly result in crucial symptoms in vision, even though complete loss of vision. These tumors may be infectious, inflammatory or neoplastic. Management and follow up may differ based on the tumor type, site, and spread into other systems. Because of what is known that the orbital cavity constitutes a small space, so that tiny projections like that observed with tumors and infection could result in huge physiologic disorders in near structures leading to anatomical and weak or total loss of vision. Deep awareness about orbit structure and physiology is needed to be aware about the complications of different orbital disorders and surgical therapy. Orbital cystic tumors comprise a collection of masses with various sings, histopathology and pathogenesis. This article cast a light on the epidemiology and classification of “cystic benign orbital tumors”.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been considered a multifunctional interleukin, belongs to the pro-inflammatory cytokines, stimulate the production of various polypeptides accounted for acute inflammatory response, and exerts a crucial function in the cells’ division, survival and differentiation of and is responsible for many cellular metabolic alterations. Interleukin (IL)-6 is formed at the location of inflammatory response and perform a principal function in the acute inflammatory phase stage by the release of many acute phase polypeptides. Overproduction of IL-6 has been found to be a major cause in the pathophysiology of several illnesses including post-menopausal osteoporosis, psoriasis, Castleman’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, pyelonephritis and multiple myeloma. Studies suggested that IL-6 can be recommended as a key indicator for prediction of elongated COVID-19 status and to determine “early stage” of extended COVID-19. This review aims to state the main mechanisms by which Il-6 exert its role during inflammatory response and its pathophysiological aspects in the development of many diseases

Diabetes mellitus has been widely-spread disorder worldwide and it causes a high level of pressure on services provided by health centers. The outcomes of patient can be greatly enhanced by early detection to overcome serious consequences. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) can be utilized to evaluate blood glucose level control over the last three to six months and establish efficient therapeutic strategy. The HbA1c levels can also be utilized to control glycemic levels in pregnant women suspected with diabetes mellitus. Anyhow, by increasing usage of HbA1c in laboratory work, it has been clearly recognized that non-glycemic factors may also have impact on glycated hemoglobin. This review cast a light on the principles of detection methods, pathophysiology and clinical significance of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).

Despite long standing controversies about the therapeutic validity of placebo due to its administration of inert substances, placebo emerges for its efficacy to amplify the therapeutic benefits of active medical interventions through patients’ psychological beliefs and expectations. Advances in neuroimaging and utilization of hormonal agonists have elucidated underlying brain mechanisms and biochemical pathways such as the endogenous opioid systems. This research synthesizes pivotal studies on placebo effect, including Beecher’s 1995 analysis; whereas, Hróbjartsson and Gøtzsche’s 2001 meta analysis refuted its clinical significance. In-depth interaction in the assumption of additivity between placebo and active treatment as well as deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease reveals the placebo’s prominence in brain reward mechanisms. Moreover, placebo mechanisms induce significant neurotransmission in the endogenous opioid systems and several brain regions including periaqueductal gray. Further inquiries are necessitated for precision in examining the role of expectation, emotions, interactions with test administrators, as well as genetic levels.

Introduction: Twin pregnancies can present risks to both mother and fetus. One of the biggest concerns in twin pregnancies is premature birth. Objectives: To discuss the management of twin pregnancies in order to avoid fetal death. Material and Methods: The methodology used was a literature review. The research was carried out through an electronic search of scientific articles published between 2010 and 2024. Discussion: Complications such as premature birth, pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and gestational diabetes are more common in twin pregnancies. Reducing these complications requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach that includes rigorous prenatal monitoring, appropriate medical interventions, nutritional and psychological support for the pregnant woman, as well as specific strategies for birth management. Conclusion: Twin pregnancies are always special. They are always monitored differently and the risks of them happening are always greater. Health professionals should therefore do their utmost to be aware of all possible complications during twin pregnancies.

Background: Blood sugar is one of the sources of energy in the body. Blood sugar levels are influenced by several factors such as age, gender, physical activity, stress, and diet. Increased blood sugar levels beyond normal limits are referred to as hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can cause symptoms such as frequent thirst, dizziness, blurry vision, and increased urination intensity. Green tea has an antihyperglycemic effect because it contains catechins, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids that can lower blood sugar levels. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of consumption of infusion green tea on the blood sugar levels of employees with hyperglycemia. Method: The research design used a pseudo-experimental design with a type of non-randomized control group pretest posttest design. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling nonprobability sampling method with a minimum sample of 18 respondents in each group. Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney analysis test and Wilcoxon Test. Results: After being given green tea from a total of 18 respondents in the case group, 5 people experienced a decrease in blood sugar levels, 3 people experienced an increase, and 10 people experienced no change. The results of the analysis test showed no effect of infusion green tea on the blood sugar levels of employees with hyperglycemia with the results of the Mann-Whitney test value p = 0.20 and Wilcoxon test value p = 0.53. Conclusions: There was no effect of infusion green tea on the blood sugar levels of employees with hyperglycemia.
背景介绍血糖是人体能量的来源之一。血糖水平受多种因素影响，如年龄、性别、体力活动、压力和饮食。血糖水平升高超过正常限度称为高血糖。高血糖会导致频繁口渴、头晕、视力模糊和排尿次数增多等症状。绿茶具有降血糖作用，因为它含有儿茶素、单宁酸、皂苷和生物碱，可以降低血糖水平。研究目的本研究旨在确定饮用输液绿茶对患有高血糖的员工血糖水平的影响。研究方法：研究设计采用伪实验设计，非随机对照组前测后测设计。抽样技术采用目的抽样非概率抽样法，每组至少抽取 18 名受访者。数据分析采用 Mann-Whitney 分析测试和 Wilcoxon 测试。结果病例组共 18 名受访者在饮用绿茶后，5 人的血糖水平有所下降，3 人的血糖水平有所上升，10 人的血糖水平没有变化。分析测试结果显示，输注绿茶对高血糖员工的血糖水平没有影响，曼-惠特尼检验值 p = 0.20，威尔科松检验值 p = 0.53。结论是输注绿茶对高血糖员工的血糖水平没有影响。

Blood sugar levels are influenced by several factors such as age, gender, physical activity, stress, and diet. Increased blood sugar levels beyond normal limits are referred to as hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can cause symptoms such as frequent thirst, dizziness, blurry vision, and increased urination intensity. Green tea has an antihyperglycemic effect because it contains catechins, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids that can lower blood sugar levels. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of consumption of infusion green tea on the blood sugar levels of employees with hyperglycemia. Method: The research design used a pseudo-experimental design with a type of non-randomized control group pretest posttest design. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling nonprobability sampling method with a minimum sample of 18 respondents in each group. Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney analysis test and Wilcoxon Test. Results: After being given green tea from a total of 18 respondents in the case group, 5 people experienced a decrease in blood sugar levels, 3 people experienced an increase, and 10 people experienced no change. The results of the analysis test showed no effect of infusion green tea on the blood sugar levels of employees with hyperglycemia with the results of the Mann-Whitney test value p = 0.20 and Wilcoxon test value p = 0.53. Conclusions: There was no effect of infusion green tea on the blood sugar levels of employees with hyperglycemia.","PeriodicalId":504355,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Health & Medical Research","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141800860","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}
