There are about 1183 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Indonesia. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
T2DM in Indonesia has increased dramatically from 7.0% in 2017 to 10.9% in 2018. In Padang, West Sumatra, diabetes prevalence was 1.3% in 2013 and increased slowly in 2018. Majority of T2DM were not able to achieve optimal glycaemic glucose control measured using HbA1c with a target of less than < 6.5% based on WHO recommendation. Problem Statement NCD guidelines provided management DM in general. Pedoman Gizi Seimbang was for healthy people. It is crucial to update the guideline following the current issues even the Indonesian consensus in 2015 provided a T2DM management diet. Study Hypotheses There is a significant difference in glycemic control (HbA1c and FBG) nutritional status, knowledge, attitude, practice, quality of life, acceptability and adherence behavior among individuals with T2DM in intervention group. Procedures Subjects will be divided into Intervention and control groups after they finished reading, signed a letter of agreement and informed consent. Subjects also have the right to be withdrawn after listening explanation of the investigators to seeking the potential participants based on inclusion criteria. The individual with T2DM (intervention group) will follow the Diabetes Mellitus Nutrition Education (DNE) program based on the curriculum of DNE modules properly and certain measurements. There is a selected nutritionist at each PHC who will convey the DNE program. DM nutrition education counseling will be delivered every week for 30 minutes. Individual with T2DM - Baseline An individual with T2DM will be asked to fill the questionnaire and follow all of the measurements (Nutritional Status, Biochemical, Clinical, and Dietary Intake). - Intervention (3 months) All of the subjects will follow the DM Nutrition Education program for 3 months which will be delivered by nutritionists in PHC. - Follow up (3 months) All of the subjects will continue the program independently in 3 months. Then, the subjects will do the same activity as a baseline to compare the data between baselines, intervention and follow up Control The individual with T2DM in the control group will still follow the conventional DM nutrition education. After the DNE program finished, the material will also be distributed to the individual with T2DM in the control group.
Muscle damage and inflammation is a clinical problem caused by the unimpeachable body adaptation of strenuous exercise through increasing free radicals. Antioxidants content in Curcuma is hypothesized to alleviate the free radicals. This study aimed to examine the effect of Curcuma extract in the form of ice cream to improve muscle damage and inflammation of soccer athletes caused by strenuous exercise. This study was experimental study with pre-post control group design. Male soccer athlete (n=20) were divided into treatment group (n=10) and control group (n=10). The treatment group was treated by Curcuma extract ice cream for 21 days. Blood samples of creatine kinase (as muscle damage marker) and IL-6 (as inflammation marker) were quantified.
Mastectomy triggers stress and inflammation responses due to tissue trauma. Surgical stress will increase levels of hormones (adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, antidiuretic hormone, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine) and inflammatory cytokines (Tumor Necrotic Factor-α, interleukin-1, interleukin-2, and interleukin-6) in the body. This causes insulin resistance, gluconeogenesis, and glycolysis, and impaired insulin secretion, which results in hyperglycemia due to intraoperative stress. Intraoperative hyperglycemia increases postoperative complications and mortality. Inhibition of hyperglycemia due to operative stress and stress hormones with good anesthetic management in improving patient outcomes. The choice of opioid type plays an important role in suppressing the perioperative stress and inflammatory response. Opioids are an alternative, besides the use of regional anesthetic techniques which have been proven to suppress the perioperative stress response. Fentanyl is one of the phenylpiperidine synthetic opioids. Large doses of fentanyl can reduce stress responses but also increase side effects, such as hemodynamic instability and decrease T-cell function. Remifentanil provides unique pharmacokinetic benefits through nonspecific esterase enzyme metabolism, so it has a very fast onset and half-life. In addition, remifentanil also provides benefits in reducing the production of interleukin 6 cytokines (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and inhibits neutrophil migration through the endothelial layer. The stress response to stress and inflammation is directly proportional to the dose of remifentanil given. It is reported that remifentanil can suppress cortisol response according to increasing dose. Winterhalter et al. and Lee et al. reported that remifentanil is better at suppressing the stress response than fentanyl. On the other hand, Bell et al. showed no difference in cortisol and hemodynamic levels between the two groups. The goal of this study is to see if remifentanil provides less increase in serum epinephrine level, norepinephrine level, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), and blood glucose level at one-hour and 24-hours postoperative in patients undergoing mastectomy surgery under general anesthesia.
This study aimed to get the information about the effectiveness of preemptive oral gabapentin 600 mg in reducing morphine requirement after non obstetric lower abdominal surgery
Injury of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the most common sports injuries. The incidence rate reaches 68.6 cases per 100,000 people per year. Management of ACL injuries for individuals who want to return to the level of exercise activity as before, mostly in the form of reconstructive surgery. As many as 60,000 to 175,000 cases of ACL reconstruction per year are carried out in the United States At present, many reconstructive surgeries are performed by taking tendon grafts on the patient's own body (autograft) to then be used instead of the ACL. The most widely used graft sources are Hamstring and Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB) grafts. Other alternative grafts are Quadriceps tendon, Fascia Lata, Iliotibial Band, and Peroneus Longus Tendon. Each graft retrieval technique has advantages and disadvantages. BPTB graft has the best tensile strength and bone union with bone, but the complications of anterior knee pain are also quite common (5-55%). Hamstring grafts and Quadriceps grafts minimize the complications of anterior knee pain, with fairly good tensile strength, but the union of grafts with bone takes longer. The loss of Hamstring tendons also causes a decrease in muscle strength in Hamstring, where Hamstring has an important role in preventing the anterior translation of the tibia Peroneus Longus Tendon graft is an alternative graft developed to minimize complications associated with graft use from the area around the knee. Peroneus Longus tendons also have tensile strength similar to Hamstring tendons. As with other graft extracts, Peroneus Longus tendon graft is also accompanied by complications in the donor site. Possible complications arising from the loss of the Peroneus Longus tendon include ankle instability and decreased flexion strength of the 1st ray and ankle eversion. Research carried out by Bancha et al showed a reduction in flexion strength of 1st ray and ankle eversion significantly, without any instability in the ankle. Peroneus longus provides 5.5% strength for moderate dorsiflexion for ankle eversion movements, peroneus longus is the main muscle. But in other studies it is said that the use of peroneus longus graft does not interfere with the stability of the ankle and ROM. Does not even affect the functional outcome of the ankle However, in a study conducted by Bancha et al and Kerimoglu et al., The technique used for taking Peroneus Longus graft tendons did not include suturing in the distal stump of Peroneous Longus. So with this study, researchers wanted to find out whether different results would be found related to donor site complications if the technique used included suturing the distal stump of the Peroneus Longus tendon against the peroneus brevis tendon
Stroke is one of the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries. Stroke is broadly classified into ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is more common than hemorrhagic stroke. In Indonesia, the prevalence of ischemic stroke is 42.9% compare to hemorrhagic stroke 19.9%. Ischemic stroke defined as an episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal cerebral, spinal, or retinal infarction. One of the main therapy in ischemic stroke is administration of anti thrombotic agent. DLBS1033 is a bioactive protein fraction isolated from Lumbricus rubellus. DLBS1033 possessed quadruple activities that inhibit platelet aggregation, induces fibrinogenolysis, fibrinolysis, and thrombolysis. This is a new proposed medication nowadays. There is still a limited study about DLBS1033. To our knowledge, research concern on the usage of DLBS1033 in stroke patients is very limited in Indonesia. This study aimed to Measure the benefit of DLBS1033 as add on therapy for ischemic stroke patients. The hypothesis of this study : a. The use of DLBS1033 improve functional status of ischemic stroke patients at hospital discharge. b. The use of DLBS1033 improve functional status 30-days after stroke onset.
Limited data are available regarding the satiety effects from fermented and non-fermented soy-based food. The aim of this study was to compare fermented (tempeh) and non-fermented soy-based diets high in protein in increasing satiety. Thirteen young obese females were studied in single-blind and cross over design. Blood samples were assessed frequently for 0, 30 and 120 minutes after consumption of two isocaloric breakfast which consist of tempeh and non-fermented soybean content. The energy content was 27% protein, 21% fat and 52% carbohydrate. Subjective satiety score was recorded at 30 and 120 minutes after taking a meal. Compared to non-fermented soybean, tempeh showed a steady trend in postprandial ghrelin, significantly increasing insulin and arginine, and decreasing glucose at 120 minutes. Satiety scores had the same trend in the hunger and fullness aspects between the meals.
Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been the standard therapy for treating patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Doxorubicin-based regimen showed a clinical response for 70-80%. However, the cardiotoxicity from it was not tolerable. Simvastatin acts synergistically with doxorubicin against MCF-7 cells, through downregulation of the cell cycle or induction of apoptosis. Also, it alleviates doxorubicin cardiotoxicity by attenuating ER stress and activating the Akt pathway. Hmgcris a new pathway mediating doxorubicin-induced cell death, and cholesterol control drugs combined with doxorubicin could enhance efficacy and reduce side effects. This study is conducted to see the combination simvastatin and CAF would increase the NACT response and surgical margin of LABC patients. Methods: This study was a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial, conducted in dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital and Koja General Hospital. A total of 70 LABC patients were assessed for eligibility. Patients received either a combination of CAF-Simvastatin (40 mg/day) or CAF-Placebo. The biopsy was taken pre-NACT to make the histopathological diagnosis and examine the expression of HMG-CoA Reductase (Hmgcr) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Patients were evaluated for the clinical response after 3 cycles. If the response was positive, patients will proceed to surgery. Then, the post-operative specimen will be reviewed for the pathological response. However, if it was a negative response, patients will be given 2nd line NACT.
This study was meant to see the effectiveness of press tack needle acupuncture in improving lactation insufficiency. The acupuncture points used in this study were CV17 Danzhong and SI1 Shaoze. Press Tack Needles were placed in these acupuncture points for 7 days in hope that it will give continuous acupuncture stimulation that might help in improving lactation insufficiency with minimal side effect, less time consuming, and more efficient for the patient.
Pediculosis capitis is a parasitic infestation that can cause scalp pruritus and quality of life disturbances. There are two objective measurement for pruritus, visual analog scale (VAS) and 5-D itch scale, which can assess the severity of the scalp pruritus and the latter can also asses the quality of life affected by pruritus. Even though VAS can not be used to evaluate the impact of pruritus on quality of life, it is very easy to use while 5-D itch scale is complex and not child-friendly. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between two different pruritus scales and to establish validity of pruritus VAS scale in evaluating quality of life in children with pediculosis capitis. We compare two pruritus scale on students with pediculosis of two boarding school in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia.
