Background: In Indonesia, around 400 health workers died due to Covid-19 between June-July 2021, therefore the health workers need to be given further immunity. Health workers were among the first to get a booster shoot. However, they may experience side effects after vaccination. We aimed to describe side effects of Moderna vaccine as a booster in health workers. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on health workers who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccine booster (Moderna) at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital, Indonesia and had filled the questionnaire assessing side effects form. We associated the form of the questionnaire assessing side effects from the originating source of hospital immunization unit in September 2021. Results: A total of 101 health workers who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccine booster in Jul-Aug 2021 were included. Most of health worker experienced more than 3 side effects. The side effects were sore arm (100%); chills (72%); fatigue (57%); headache (53%) and fever (51%), other symptoms (28%). The side effects mostly happened a day of receiving a booster shot (61.4%). There was no association between age, gender, comorbid to amount of side effects (P>0.05). Conclusion: Since the public must fulfil the immunization program during pandemic, it is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to inform about the potential side effects and benefits of a new Covid-19 vaccine.

Introduction: Early medical rehabilitation after Total Knee Replacement (TKR) was necessary to optimize healing process and reduce pain postoperative that can restrain patients’ activity.Case Presentation: A 66-years-old women had right TKR due to osteoarthritis genu dextra with chronic pain. Patient has muscle weakness on affected leg, and still not able to walk. Medical Rehabilitation(MR) program started one day after surgery for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of MR program, patient had mild pain, and can walk for 100 m. Pain intensity by visual analogue scale (VAS) reduced from 7/10 to2/10, knee flexion increased from 70° to120°, right quadriceps muscle strength increased from 4 to 5 by manual muscle test (MMT), time to do physical performance by time up and go (TUG) was reduced from15 to 12.8 sc, activity daily living (ADL) by Barthel Index sco re increased from 4 to 8.Conclusion: Four weeks Rehabilitation Medicine program in geriatric patient with post Right TKR for 4 weeks, effective to improved muscle strength, balance, and ADL.Keywords: Medical rehabilitation, total knee replacement, geriatric, physical performance, quality of life

Background: Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a physical modality used in a rehabilitation support service. Patients with lower third molar impacted experience decline in QOL due to inflamatory response,such as bleeding, swelling, stiffness and pain. This leads to disability in daily activities, such as eating and drinking during several days post removal.Methods: It is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and single blind study. A total of 21 subjects in LLLT and 21 subjects in control groups with the age range of 18-30 years. Subjects in the study group were given a totaldose of 54 J, energy density 18J/cm2 on day 0, 3 and 7 post lower third molar impacted surgery. Both groups were assessed for QOL values using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) before and after therapy.Result: Decrease in Pain (VAS) and Trismus on the third and seventh day post operatively were statistically significant (p <0.05) between the two groups. QOL improvement on the SF-36 domains of Role Physically(RP), Bodily Pain (BP), General Health (GH) was statistically significant (p <0.05) in both groups. Moreover, QOL improvement in Physical Components (PCS) was also significant between the two groups.Conclusion: LLLT could reduce postoperative pain of lower third molar impacted patients from day 0 to 3 and completely painless on the seventh day postoperatively. LLLT therapy eliminated Trismus on the third dayafter the surgey. Increase QOL in patients with lower third molar impacted removal after LLLT was evident in the physical component. The positive changes in pain and trismus reduction, also QOL improvement postLLLT can restore patients’ activities of daily living as usual in a short period of time.Keywords : Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Pain, Trismus, Quality of Life, Rehabilitation, Lower Third Molar Removal.
