Makhudbekov | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Currently, the most effective is the differentiated tactics of treating children with various forms of inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region, taking into account the nosology and stage of the disease, age, premorbid background, etiology of the process, the state of immunobiological reactivity of the child’s body and genetic predisposition. |
| Urea Level, Urine Crystallization, and Related Factors in Tahu Workers | Author : Diki B Prasetio, Eli Sahiroh, Nasya A Putri, Sri Haryani, Shinta Dwi S Pramesti, Ita Agustina | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background & Objective: The process of making tahu which generates a heat source, causes workers to affect the crystallization level of urine and the level of urea of ??the worker. This study was to analyze the factors associated with urinary crystallization and urea levels.
Materials and methods: This study is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The independent variables in this study were age, gender, water consumption, clothing use, physical activity, heat stress, urine pH, BMI, and dehydration status. The dependent variable is urine crystallization and urea levels—the analysis used in univariate and bivariate analyses.
Results: Based on the chi-square test, it was found that age, years of service, heat stress, dehydration level, BMI, and water consumption were related to urine crystallization levels. Meanwhile, age, years of service, urine pH, heat pressure, dehydration level, BMI, and water consumption were related to urea levels.
Conclusion: Of the ten types of variables studied, six variables had a statistically significant relationship with urine crystallization, namely age, years of service, heat stress, level of dehydration, BMI, and water consumption. Meanwhile, age, years of service, urine pH, heat pressure, dehydration level, BMI, and water consumption, seven variables related to urea levels. However, the water consumption pattern of respondents with abnormal heat pressure in the work area should get more attention because the measurement results of water consumption are less.

| Effectiveness of Walk Standing Backbend Arch or Modified Anuvittasana in Patients with Si Joint Dysfunction: Experimental Study | Author : A.K. Vijay Krishna Kumar, Varsha V, Suruthi R | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background – Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a painful musculoskeletal condition, responsible for 15-30% cases of low back pain, also called as Sacroiliac syndrome. It is a term often used to describe pain in and around the region of the joint that is due to traumatic, infection, inflammatory, degenerative, metabolic and biomechanical disorders of the joint (hypermobility and hypo mobility) and pathological conditions.
Methodology – The Study design is Experimental. Total 25 samples are selected conveniently for this study. Data was collected by using Pain perception on VAS (Visual Analog Scale) and Disability Score on Revised Oswestry Disability Index
Results – It has been proved significant that there is average improvement of 16.48 in ODI and 5.04 in VAS. The result of experimenting the effectiveness of walk standing position back bend arch or modified Anuvittasana among 25 individuals with SI joint dysfunction is proved significantly effective on the patients who has undergone the treatment for 7 sessions of 7 day.
Conclusion - It can be concluded from the present study that there is significant improvement in the pain, range of motion, activities of daily living that underwent walk standing position back bend arch or modified Anuvittasana exercise |
| Evaluation of Sexual Dysfunction in Female Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome Sexual Dysfunction in Female Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome | Author : Ayse Berhoglu Barut, Osman Barut | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Objectives: The aim of our study is to determine the presence and quality of sexual function in women with fibromyalgia syndrome and to compare it with the normal population.
Materials and methods: In our case-control study was conducted on sexually active 46 fibromyalgia patients who were diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria and 35 healthy control aged between 20-55. The data was collected with Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The clinical characteristics of both groups were compared and the relationships between FSFI and clinical parameters were evaluated.
Results: Both groups were similar in terms of age, duration of marriage, number of children, family type and educational level. The mean duration of complaints in women with fibromyalgia was 5.62 (3.45) years, FIQ score was 59.8 (12.2) and VAS score was 7 (2). FSFI score was 13.2 (8.1) in group 1 and 32.1 (5.2) in group 2 (P<0.05). The mean scores of FIQ, BDI and VAS in group 1 were signi?cantly higher than those in group 2 (P<0.05). In addition, a significant negative correlation was determined between the total FSFI score and FIQ and BDI scores in group 1.
Conclusion: Negative effects of sexual dysfunction on female patients should be considered when evaluating fibromyalgia. It should be noted that sexual functon assessment must be a part of fibromyalgia syndrome treatment. Further studies are needed to elucidate the relationship between fibromyalgia and sexual dysfunction |
| Evaluation of Functional Independence and Pain in Covid-19 Patients with Mild Neurological Impairments during the Hospital Stay | Author : Vijay Krishna Kumar, Archana Puttaiah, Girija Murugan, Shruthi Raju | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Novel COVID 19 is a infectious disease caused by a recently discovered corona virus. It is characterized as an acute respiratory syndrome followed by neurological diseases like acute necrotizing encephalopathy/disseminated encephalomyelitis, Guillain – barre syndrome, stroke inflammatory neuropathy. Common clinical symptoms include headache, insomnia, dizziness, delirium, myopathy, ataxia, seizures, complete/partial anosmia, ageusia, hypoxia, muscle and nerve pain and peripheral nervous system manifestation. The purpose of this survey was to evaluate the functional independence and pain in Covid-19 patients with mild neurological impairments during the hospital stay.
Method: 85 covid–19 diagnosed patients with mild neurological impairments such as non-specific headache, anosmia, aguesia, myalgia, fatigue etc. of age group 25 to 60 years admitted in hospital were recruited. Patient function is assessed using the FIM instrument at the time of admission and at the time of discharge. The severity of the patient’s pain and the impact of this pain on the patient’s daily functioning was evaluated using the brief pain inventory scale. Patients with comorbidity diseases like surgery and cancer, infants, children, ventilated ICU patients were excluded from the study.
Results: The study found that among the 85 respondent participants majority of 53(62.4%) had severe pain and 82 of them(96.5%) had high pain interference. According to the interpretation the total FIM score shows a significant improvement from admission to discharge with the p-value of 0.000.
Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a significant difference on functional independence and pain in Covid-19 patients with mild neurological impairments during the hospital stay |
