Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is one of the highest causes of death globally, with the number of deaths reaching more than 9 million people in 2016. Therefore, a fast and accurate ACS diagnosis is needed. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, the number of coronary artery lesions evaluated by angiography, and troponin I in ACS patients Material and Methods: This research is an analytic observational with a retrospective cross-sectional design. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique and obtained 87 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the 2019-2020 period at Dr. Soetomo Regional General Hospital Surabaya. The correlation between the number of coronary artery lesions and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio to troponin I levels were respectively analyzed using chi-square and spearman-rho with SPSS ver. 25. Results: The results showed a moderately significant correlation between the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and troponin I levels (p =0.003, rs = 0.319). While the correlation analysis between the number of coronary artery lesions and the vessel score on troponin I showed insignificant results (p = 0.525), which means that the number of coronary artery lesions was not correlated with troponin I. Conclusion: This study concludes a significant correlation with moderate correlation between the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and troponin I. However, there is no significant correlation between the number of coronary artery lesions assessed by the Sullivan and troponin I levels.
COVID-19 pandemic has caused a shift in work and school systematics into a predominantly online system. Aside from benefits of enabling work and teaching done without face-to-face interaction, online meeting platforms such as Zoom and Google meet also has some unwanted negative effects, among them is the phenomena called zoom fatigue. One of the ways to overcome zoom fatigue is through relaxation, which can be done by performing meditation. As a mean of providing resources which can help participants to further their knowledge on the topic of meditation, we conduct the workshop titled "Meditation as a Form of Relaxation". This article describe the general demography of participants of this workshop, as well as their knowledge, interest, and capability of doing meditation prior to and after the workshop have been held.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
