Sydna Farma was bioequivalent to its reference product, Diane®-35 sugar-coated tablet manufactured by Bayer Weimar GmbH, Germany, imported by PT. Bayer Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia.
Press tack needle is one of the acupuncture modalities in the form of needles that are attached to the skin, and can be left attached to the skin for several days which makes its use much easier than conventional acupuncture. The purpose of this study was to determine how the effect of press tack needle acupuncture on leg muscle strength performed on sports students. Research subjects as many as 30 people were randomized into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group, acupuncture treatment was performed with a press tack needle at acupuncture points on the legs. The leg muscle strength was measured using a leg dynamometer before and after the acupuncture intervention. Analyzed the difference in mean leg muscle strength before and after the intervention, and between the two groups.
Low birth weight (LBW) infant (1800-2449 gram) will be given the new human milk fortifier (HMF) which contains protein, lipid, carbohydrate and micronutrients after discharge. Human Milk Fortifier or placebo (carbohydrate only with similar calorie content) will be provided until 3 months of age. The investigators want to evaluate if the addition of HMF to mother's milk while breastfeeding LBW infants after discharge influences growth and body composition up to 3 months of age.
To date, the prevalence of Hypertension (HPT) is getting increase worldwide. This situation is contributed mostly by the Lower-Income Countries (LIC) and Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) include Asians. Elevated Blood Pressure (EBP) in the early phase is often unrealized before developing to HPT, leading to several diseases in terms of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In preventing EBP, the European Society of Cardiology in 2017 classifies blood pressure into three groups; normal, pre-hypertension, and hypertensive crisis. People in the normal phase with the high-normal line are classified into EBP. If this group is determined and controlled, they will further keep in normal blood pressure. Contrarily, they are experiencing the next phase of HPT. Like other Asian countries, Indonesia was experiencing an extreme prevalence of HPT, and Aceh, which is one of the provinces in Indonesia has a very high prevalence of HPT as well (20% increment from 2013-2018), is estimated to equal to the EBP prevalence. Despite many promotive and preventive interventions confirmed to decrease HPT, early screening has been convinced to recover the HPT in Indonesia. However, the HPT prevalence was examined steadily increasing. Intermittent fasting (IF) is recognized as a new method in decreasing metabolic factors based on several types of research currently. Therefore, the investigators are studying the effectiveness of intermittent fasting on people with EBP. Conducting healthy lifestyle intervention that is inexpensive, doable, and easily accessible, would be a new method for controlling EBP.
Indonesia is the fifth country with the highest number of premature infants in the world. Research has shown that as many as 40% to 70% of premature infants exhibit both immature and atypical feeding skills and those requiring respiratory support and those experiencing delays in beginning oral feeding are most often affected. Majority of premature infants have poorly developed suck and swallow mechanisms. The neurological immaturity, abnormal muscle tone, depressed oral reflexes, and difficulty in regulating state, can decrease the quality of infant's oral motor skills and the quantity of intake. For these reasons many high-risk infants are unable to tolerate oral feeding from birth and have difficulty making the transition from tube feedings to functional oral feeding. This transition to full oral feeding is an important competency for the infant to attain prior to discharge home. Delays in discharge are often secondary to feeding difficulties, leading to increased medical costs. Currently a number of treatment strategies exist to facilitate oral feeding in premature infants. These include environmental/physical modifications such as eliminating external stimuli during feedings, using therapeutic nipples to manipulate flow rate, positioning and swaddling to support the motor system and improve flexion, and oral motor intervention including Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) stimulation and oral/perioral stimulation. There are known various methods of oral and perioral stimulations. Recent study claimed that oral stimulations combined with non-nutritive sucking stimulation in premature infants for at least 10 days period could facilitate oral feeding ability. The therapy of new method intervention that will be studied in this research was a combination of physiological flexion in therapeutic positioning with specific swaddling techniques, oral stimulation, stimulation of synergistic movements, and stimulation of non-nutritive sucking using a special designed pacifier according to the size of premature infant's oral cavity. The objective of this study is to determine the time span required for premature infant to achieve safe and efficient oral feeding after new method intervention. Therefore, this new method expectedly can be used as an intervention to improve oral feeding ability in premature infant.
This study aims to compare the effectivity and efficiency of Modified Tarsorrhaphy (MT) technique and Gold Weight Implant (GWI) technique as a surgical treatment of paralytic lagophthalmos in leprosy patients. The hypothesis is that MT technique is more effective and more efficient than GWI technique. This study used PROBE (Prospective Randomized Open-label Blinded-Endpoint) clinical trial. Samples consisted of 14 eyes in MT group and 13 eyes in GWI group as the control group. This study was conducted in 3 hospitals in Indonesia and the patients were observed in 1 year period.
Tracheal intubation is commonly performed using a standard Macintosh blade, but recently there has been advanced technology using video laryngoscopy (VL).In this modern era, there are various types of available VL to make it easier for anesthesiologists to perform intubation, especially in patients with difficult airway anatomy. Various studies showed different results regarding the effectiveness of both C-MAC® and McGrath®, by assessing the comparison of the effectiveness, valuable information will be obtained for further consideration by experts in choosing the best tools in the future.
Diabetes Mellitus individuals are known to have dietary rules, namely regulating the amount, type and time of eating. Ramadan fasting seems to be beneficial for people who want to reduce their weight, but it is not easy for diabetic patients. Because of its distinctive features, Ramadhan induces changes in eating habits, calorie consumption, sleeping patterns, and daily physical activity, which may contribute to changes in hunger-satiety responses and glicemic control. Examining changes in gut hormones during Ramadan fasting may reveal whether this observance could change glucose metabolism in diabetics without triggering the undesirable effect of gluconeogenesis. The proportions of fat, protein, and carbohydrate in meals vary between outside and within Ramadan. Alterations in timing and composition meal during Ramadan lead to reduced food intake may affect gut hormones and metabolic responses. The aim of this study to determine whether the effect of Ramadan fasting differed in people with DM patients, pre-DM and healthy individuals, with respect to gut hormones, body composition, metabolic parameters, and glycemic control
Chronic kidney disease is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease associated with increased mortality rate during cardiac surgery in proportion to the kidney function. Chronic kidney disease is defined by decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as classified by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO). Deterioration of kidney function has a complex and multifactorial pathophysiologic derangement. In order to counter kidney injury associated with cardiac surgery, several pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions have been studied to prevent perioperative deterioration of kidney function. Diuretics as pharmacologic measure are often used post-cardiac surgery to treat fluid overload and managing patient with acute kidney injury by preventing anuria. Loop diuretics (furosemide) may improve renal blood flow, decrease reabsorption in renal tubules, decrease oxygen demand and energy consumption (blocking potassium/sodium/2cloride co-transport in loop of Henle), and prevent hypoxic injury of renal medulla. Low dose continuous furosemide hypothetically has a protective effect on cardiac surgery patients with kidney dysfunction, measured improved glomerular filtration rate, decreased indication for therapeutic furosemide infusion, and decreased need of renal replacement therapy. On the other hand, administration of furosemide is rather harmful in severe kidney dysfunction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the protective effect of low-dose continuous furosemide perioperative in cardiac surgery patients with mild to moderate kidney dysfunction.
