Scabies is a skin disease caused by mite infestation and sensitization Sarcoptes scabiei variety hominis. Every student who live in dormitories boarding school has the same opportunities for the occurrence of scabies. Students and environmental characteristics of the rooms thought to contribute to the incidence of scabies. Tis study aims to determine what factors most influence on the incidence of scabies disease at boarding Qotrun Nada Cipayung Depok academic year 2015/2016. Tis research was observational analytic with cross sectional design. The subjects were 258 students of MTs and MA Boarding school of Qotrun Nada academic year 2015/2016. Data analysis was based on the incidence of disease scabies using Chi-square test (p < 0,05) and followed by multivariate logistic regression. Chi-Square test results showed that there was influence among knowledge, attitudes, student behavior, density of occupant, humidity, lighting, temperature, and room ventilation students with the incidence of scabies disease at boarding Qotrun Nada Cipayung, Depok. Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the most influences characteristics were student attitude and density of occupant.
Introduction: Procalcitonin is known as a marker of infection and indicator for severity of infections. In sepsis, elevated procalcitonin levels in blood have a significant value that can be used as a sepsis biomarker. The aim of this study was to determine the mean difference of procalcitonin levels in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial sepsis patients.Methods: This study used quantitative method with cross sectional approach. The sample of this study were bacterial sepsis patients of Indonesia Army Central Hospital Gatot Soebroto in 2016 which were divided into two groups: Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial sepsis patients with the number of each group was 30 samples. The data were analyzed by using independent t test.Results: This study showed that mean levels of procalcitonin in Gram-positive bacterial sepsis patients was 6.47 ng/ml and Gram-negative was 66.04 ng/ml. There was a significant difference between mean levels of procalcitonin in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial sepsis patients of Indonesia Army Central Hospital Gatot Soebroto in 2016 with p value = 0.000 (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The mean difference of procalcitonin levels in Gram-negative bacterial sepsis patients were higher than Gram-positive bacterial sepsis patients, because Gram-negative bacteria have lipopolysaccharide which is a strong immunostimulator and increases TNF-α production higher than Gram-positive bacteria.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) disease is one of the problems in healthcare facility. According to WHO criteria, thrombocyte and hematocrit are used as an indicator for the diagnosis of DHF. Hematocrit and thrombocyte examination will help and simplify therapy and diagnosis. The previous studies also stated that body mass index (BMI) has proven to influence the severity of DHF. The aimed is to determine the association between hematocrit, thrombocyte, body mass index and the severity of DHF among adult patients at Esnawan Antariksa Air Force Hospital from January to December 2018.. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study conducted at Esnawan Antariksa Air Force Hospital East Jakarta, with 68 samples of medical records which were selected for this study. The dependent variable was the severity of dengue hemorrhagic fever, while the independent variables were hematocrit, thrombocyte and body mass index. Result showed a significant level of hematocrit (p=0.000), thrombocyte (p=0.000) and BMI (p=0.245). Conclusion: There were associations between hematocrit, thrombocyte and the severity of DHF among adult patients but none between BMI and severity of DHF patients at Esnawan Antariksa Air Force Hospital. Majority of patients at Air Force Hospital had a normal BMI, which is with normal BMI people had a better immunity than those without.
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.
