Several ex vivo, in vitro, and observational studies on various type of cancer shown positive effect of vitamin D. Vitamin D has widely known as immunomodulator property in various diseases. However, it remains limited studies on immunity and cachexia in cancer, particularly in ovarian cancer. This study will investigate the effect of vitamin D in immune response during chemotherapy among epithelial ovarian cancer patients who have a low level of vitamin D and cachexia
The implementation of palliative care has been started in Indonesia since 2007. This was declared by Ministry of health regulation (SK Menkes no 812/Menkes/SK/2007). However, there has been a slow development in palliative care compared to other Asian countries. One of the reasons is the lack of knowledge and skills among health care professionals in Indonesia. Primary Heath Center (PHC) is at the frontline in the health care system in Indonesia to provide care for patients. Its function is especially important in the Universal Health Coverage era. Studies have shown that PHC's nurses' knowledge on palliative care is still limited since the integration of palliative care into the nursing curriculum just started 2-3 years ago. Also, this curriculum integration is still limited in some Universities. Continuing nursing education (CNE) is one of the ways to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills. CNE for palliative care in Indonesian training programs has not been structurally established yet. It is fragmented in its application into some areas and has not been applied for the majority of areas in Indonesia. Investigators aim to develop a palliative care training for PHC nurses using an online format. It will be done in several steps. Firstly, investigators are starting by conducting a review to collect information on what topics are suitable for PHC nurses. Secondly, investigators are developing modules and other educational tools (a virtual education package). Thirdly, those educational packages will be then evaluated by experts. Next, the education package will be integrated into eLOK (e-learning: open for knowledge sharing) at Universitas Gadjah Mada. After that, training for PHC nurses in Yogyakarta using eLOK will be conducted under the acronym: SPARK or Strengthening PAlliative caRe in the community by enhancing nurses' Knowledge (Sinau PAliatif Rame-rame karo eLOK). The effectiveness of SPARK will be measured with a Randomized Control Trial. Investigators will also collect more information on the feasibility of this program using qualitative data collection since investigators expect to refine this program to be applied in a larger area in Indonesia.
This study would like to compare manual acupunture treatment for anxiety in COVID Health workers population in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital using filiform needles and press needle.
Videolaryngoscopy highly improves success rate for endotracheal intubation in both normal and difficult airway. However, commercially available videolaryngoscope such as McGrath MAC® can be costly. The. investigators aim to study a more economical alternative by comparing the intubation time, first attempt success rate, laryngeal visualization, complications, and user satisfaction between our self-assembled modified macintosh videolaryngoscope (SAM-VL) and McGrath MAC® (McGrath). The study shows that endotracheal intubation using self-assembled modified videolaryngoscope is faster, had more successful first attempts, and allowed better glottis visualization compared with McGrath MAC®. It is a suitable alternative for videolaryngoscope in low resource setting.
In this study, researchers will test the effectiveness of probiotic consumption against oral pathogenic bacteria and reduce the occurrence of gingival inflammation in subjects using orthodontic fixed appliances (braces). Lactobacillus reuteri is one of the probiotic bacteria that has been identified for its health benefits. L. reuteri produces antimicrobial substances, reuterin and reutericyclin which are active against wide range of pathogenic organisms. Previously, investigator performed a pilot study on the beneficial health effect of probiotic L. reuteri containing lozenges on a few orthodontic patients and it was proven that taking this probiotic for two weeks could significantly reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria in the patients' saliva. In vitro study showed that L. reuteri has the ability to modulate the inflammatory response such as TNF alpha and interleukins. However, The ability of L. reuteri in modulating the inflammatory response viz. Interleukin 1-beta, Interleukin 6, interleukin 8, interleukin 10, TNF alpha, MMP-9 and RANKL and effect on oral metagenomic microbiome profile in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment has not been previously investigated. Objective: 1. To evaluate the effect of consumption of L. reuteri Prodentis probiotic lozenges on the inflammatory response (inflammation) of gingival fluid. 2. To evaluate the effect of consumption of the probiotic lozenges of L. reuteri Prodentis against oral pathogens in dental plaque and saliva. Research Benefits: This study was conducted to observe the effectiveness of L. reuteri (ProDentis) probiotic against oral pathogenic bacteria on patients using orthodontic fixed appliance, to reduce gum inflammation and improve oral health.
Vitamin D plays important role in musculoskeletal health and has been known to influence immune system. Inflammaging is one of risk factors that may contribute to development of frailty in elderly. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of cholecalciferol in pre-frail elderly receiving calcium supplementation on handgrip strength, gait speed, vitamin D receptor, IGF-1 and IL-6. Fall incidence and improvement of frailty status will also be assessed.
Approximately 28,000 subjects will be enrolled in this trial. Eligible subjects will be stratified by age (<60 years of age and ≥60 years of age, the proportion of elderly people ≥60 years old is planned to be ≥25%) and randomly assigned into the study group and the control group at a ratio of 1:1 (14,000 in each group) to be intramuscularly administered with the investigational vaccine or placebo in a 2-dose regimen at an interval of 28 days. The experimental vaccines will be cross-vaccinated after available data of the investigational vaccine show that expected efficacy and good safety have been achieved (i.e., subjects in the study group will be vaccinated with placebo and those in the control group will be vaccinated with the investigational vaccine in the same schedule as stated above ). After the completion of the second dose for crossover vaccination, subjects will be followed up for 12 months for safety observation. An immunogenicity subgroup (n≥3000) and a reactogenicity subgroup (n≥6000) will also be included in this trial to evaluate the humoral immunity induced by the investigational vaccine and the solicited adverse events observed within 7 days post immunization. All enrolled subjects will be followed up for the evaluation of protective efficacy as well, which will be primarily characterized by the incidence rate (person-year) of COVID-19 cases collected from 14 days after complete series. Adverse events will be collected over 0-28 days after each vaccination and serious adverse events will be collected from Dose 1 through 12 months post complete series.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a problem that is being faced in more than 200 countries in the world, including Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The transmission of the virus occurred rapidly that 2 weeks from the first case diagnosed, 1000 patients tested positive. A week later, the number of positive cases exceeded 4600, reaching more than 30,000 patients and 2,500 deaths on March 18, 2020. The death rate due to COVID-19 in Indonesia is one of the highest in Asia. To date, no therapy has been shown to be effective for Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). A vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 also has not been found at this time and is in the research phase. Current management of COVID-19 patients focuses primarily on providing supportive care. Currently, several countries make treatment guidelines for COVID-19 patients by providing several types of anti-viral drugs and other drugs such as chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, immunoglobulins, anti-cytokine agents or immunomodulators. The administration of these drugs does not escape the various side effects experienced by patients. Administration of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine carries the risk of causing prolonged QT interval which can lead to arrhytmia disturbances such as torsades des pointes in certain people. Administration of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine in combination with azithromycin increases the risk of developing arrhythmias. Giving anti-viruses such as lopinavir / ritonavir, umifenovir, remdesivir, favipiravir can also cause various side effects including gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), impaired liver function, and hyperuricaemia. Treatment with human immunoglobulins has been associated with a significantly increased risk of thrombotic events. Currently, no acupuncture research on COVID-19 patients has been published. However, acupuncture can play a role in several conditions that occur in COVID-19 according to the pathophysiology that occurs, this has been proven through several clinical studies conducted on non-COVID-19 cases that have pathophysiology that resemble COVID-19 conditions. In COVID-19 with mild-moderate symptoms, acupuncture can play a role in boosting the immune system, including increasing the number of Natural Killer cells and lymphocytes. Whereas in cases of severe COVID-19 symptoms, it is hoped that acupuncture can provide anti-inflammatory effect and prevent cytokine storm.
