EFFECT of ADMINISTRATION of BAY LEAF EXTRACT (Eugenia polyantha) ON TOTAL CHOLESTEROL and TRIGLYCERIDE LEVEL S IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION and TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AT IMAN CLINIC MEDAN

2024-06-19T07:37:52+00:00

Cholesterol is a fat component that stabilizes cell membranes and is a precursor of bile salts and steroid hormones. The HMG-CoA reductase enzyme has an important role in the cholesterol synthesis process. Triglycerides are the primary fats found in food that undergo emulsification in the small intestine by bile salts and are digested by lipase. The flavonoids in bay leaves will react with the hydroxyl groups in cholesterol. Saponins will increase the binding of cholesterol to fiber. Tannins can inhibit fat absorption in the intestine. This study examined the effect of administering bay leaf extract (Eugenia polyantha) on total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with hypertension and Diabetes mellitus type 2 in Clinic Iman Medan. This research is a Quasi-experimental design using 32 samples consisting of 16 samples from the control group and 16 from the experimental group. This study used bay leaf extract in 200 mg bay leaf capsules with 3 doses given to each group. Based on the results of the hypothesis test using the Paired T-test and Wilcoxon test, giving bay leaf extract had no effect on total cholesterol and triglyceride levels with a P-value < 0.05. There was no effect of giving bay leaf extract (Eugenia polyantha) on total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with hypertension and DM type 2

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AIR POLLUTION AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

2024-03-21T08:30:23+00:00

Several previous research studies have shown that air pollution has broad impacts on human health, particularly in the cardiovascular field. Exposure to air pollution entering the respiratory system can trigger inflammatory responses and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease. This systematic review aim to determine the relationship between air pollution and the occurrence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Journal searches were conducted on five electronic databases, namely Pubmed, Science Direct, Europe PMC, Wiley Online Library, and Cochrane, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The search results get six original articles that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for analysis. Based on the results of the analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between air pollution in the form of gas components or particulate matter with the incidence of coronary artery disease. High levels of air pollution in an area can also increase the risk of CAD higher than areas with lower levels of air pollution.

OCTREOTIDE FOR TREATMENT RECURRENT HYPOGLYCEMIA INDUCED BY SULFONYLUREA: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

2024-07-09T02:42:50+00:00

Overdose can cause hypoglycemia, which is unresponsive to dextrose treatment alone. Octreotide, though not universally used, is an antidote for sulfonylurea overdose. We present a case report of a 62-year-old male who mistakenly consumed six tablets of sulfonylurea (Glibenclamide®), thinking they were loperamide for diarrhea. He developed dizziness, diaphoresis, vomiting, and unconsciousness. Physical examination revealed a GCS of 225, blood pressure of 188/79 mmHg, heart rate of 85 bpm, respiratory rate of 24/min, and oxygen saturation of 99%. Blood results showed RBS at 13 mg/dl, normal CBC, unremarkable blood gas analysis, hypokalemia at 2.87 mmol/l, and normal RFT and LFT. The patient was treated with bolus Dextrose 40%, maintenance Dextrose 10%, and hydrocortisone 100 mg, but blood sugar remained refractory for 1 hour despite increasing glucose infusion. After 5 hours without satisfactory results, we administered the first dose of octreotide (50 IU IV), resulting in a hypoglycemic interval lasting 2.5 hours. After a second dose of 50 IU octreotide, hypoglycemia was resolved. The patient was moved to the general ward and survived. In this case, octreotide extended the interval of hypoglycemia and reduced the need for dextrose. Using octreotide for conditions other than sulfonylurea overdose is not recommended.

ALPHA-MANGOSTIN POTENCY TO IMPROVE RENAL FUNCTION AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL IMAGES IN HIGH-FAT DIET RATS

2024-07-07T12:47:03+00:00

This study aimed to study whether alpha-mangostin could protect the kidneys of high-fat diet rats using the creatinine serum level and histopathological changes as parameters. The in vivo experimental study with a completely randomized design used 30 male Sprague Dawley rats. After 7 days of adaptation, they were randomly divided into six treatment groups, each with five replications. The study was done for four weeks: NC group (given standard pellet without treatment for four weeks), five other groups were given a high-fat diet for four weeks, and at the last two weeks were added with aquadest, corn oil, alpha-mangostin dose-1, alpha-mangostin dose-2, and simvastatin, namely PTL, CO, D1, D2, and Sim group. Creatinine level was examined at the end of week 2 and week 4; the difference percentage was analyzed using ANOVA/Kruskal Wallis (α=0.05) and continued with Duncan/Mann Whitney. It was shown that creatinine level decreased in D1/D2 = PTL mice (p>0,05); kidney histopathological image in D1 was better than PTL (p<0,05). It was concluded that the alpha-mangostin kidney protection effect was not yet visible according to creatinine level, but it was visible according to histopathological image; further studies are needed.

2024-07-07T13:28:37+00:00

This study investigates the relationship between diabetes comorbidity and COVID-19 severity in Muhammadiyah Palembang Hospital, focusing on hematological parameters as potential predictors of disease progression. Utilizing a case-control design with 61 respondents, demographic data, COVID-19 severity classifications, and hematological profiles were analyzed. Results reveal a prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus among COVID-19 patients at 32.8%, with diabetic individuals experiencing higher rates of moderate clinical complications. Hematological analysis demonstrates variations in parameters such as hemoglobin levels, platelet counts, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio between diabetic and non-diabetic COVID-19 patients. These findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions for diabetic individuals infected with COVID-19 and highlight the potential of hematological parameters in predicting disease severity. The study suggests the need for larger-scale, multicenter research to validate findings and inform evidence-based clinical practice in managing COVID-19 patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus.

2024-06-24T07:46:27+00:00

Elderly refers to individuals who have reached the final stage of life, namely 60 years old and above. Physiologically, the elderly will experience various declines in body functions. The decline in cognitive function is among the most common in the elderly. The incidence of cognitive decline in the elderly in Indonesia is relatively high, which is as much as 32.4%, and is most vulnerable at the age of 65 years. Cognitive impairment can cause older adults to have difficulty in doing daily activities (bathing, dressing, washing, cooking), managing finances, getting lost on the road, and other disturbances that make the elderly less independent and confident, then tend to withdraw from social activities. The disturbances can also lead to anxiety disorders and depression. This study aims to determine the profile of cognitive function in the elderly at Palembang Nursing Homes. This cross-sectional study involves all elderly individuals in Palembang City Nursing Homes who meet the inclusion-exclusion criteria. The Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina) was used to assess cognitive function. In this study, as many as 69 elderly (87.34%) had experienced a decline in cognitive function. Then, the dominant characteristics in the group that experienced a decrease in cognitive function were >90 years old (100%), women (91.38%), college graduates (100%), never worked (100%), had a history of stroke (92.86%), did not remember or did not know about cognitive impairment history in the family (93.33%). Delayed recall was the aspect that experienced the most disruption (96.2%). This study has revealed that the prevalence of cognitive impairment in Palembang Nursing Homes is exceptionally high. Therefore, it is imperative to implement routine screenings to identify early cognitive impairment in the elderly to provide immediate treatment.

PHARMACODYNAMIC OF METFORMIN IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS: REVIEW OF THE PRKAA2 AND SLC22A3 GENES

2024-07-30T02:21:55+00:00

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) is a disease including on metabolic disorder that characterized by an increase in glucose levels above normal. This glucose increase is caused by reduced insulin function which can be in the form of abnormalities in insulin secretion, impaired insulin action in peripheral tissues, or both. Metformin is one of the recommended therapies for type 2 DM. AMPK is the main pathway of metformin's mechanism. AMPKa2 encoded by PRKAA2 gene is an AMPK subunit that plays an important role in AMPK activation. OCT3 encoded by SLC22A3 plays a role in the metformin transport mechanism. OCT3 is needed in the metformin pharmacokinetic like absorption and elimination, this process determines metformin bioavailability, clearance, and its pharmacological effects. Mutations in PRKAA2 and SLC22A3 cause variations in the pharmacodynamic effects and pharmacokinetic of metformin in individuals directly. These changes will ultimately affect the effectiveness of metformin in type 2 DM patients.
