Remote Patient

Radio-based signalling devices will play an important role in future generations of remote patient monitoring equipment, both at home and in hospital. Ultimately, it will be possible to sample vital signs from patients, whatever their location and without them necessarily being aware that a measurement is being taken. This paper reviews current methods for the transmission by radio of physiological parameters over ranges of 0.3, 3 and 30 m, and describes the radiofrequency hardware required and the carrier frequencies commonly used. Future developments, including full duplex systems and the use of more advanced modulation schemes, are described. The paper concludes with a case study of a human temperature telemeter built to indicate ovulation. Clinical results clearly show the advantage to be had in adopting radio biotelemetry in this instance.

Sedentary/passive behavior has increased the risk of non-communicable disease, which incites the need to promote an active lifestyle through outdoor physical activities. However, green open space (GOS) amount and design that focus as health promoter have not yet been sufficient. Therefore, design evaluation is conducted to acknowledge recent issues and potential solutions as design considerations for next GOS that focuses on health. Evaluation of GOS design quality uses design indicators that are extracted from Salutogenic Five Vital Signs to identify and assess design quality at selected GOS as a case study.  The data for this study is gathered through site surveys, two months observations, and user interviews: 25 visitors, two staff, and three entrepreneurs. Evaluation at selected GOS highlights the importance of forest setting as major attractions because it provides comfortable shades of trees. Also, GOS should be located at a strategic point to be easily accessed by different kind of transportation modes and routes. Moreover, legibility is achieved highly by movement network: path and clear main entrance, and permeability are achieved through the selection of more than five meters height of trees that clear the visual obstacles, clear spots of activities (pods), and transparent fences.EVALUASI RUANG TERBUKA HIJAU SEBAGAI PROMOTOR KESEHATAN DENGAN PENDEKATAN SALUTOGENIC: TAMAN KOTA BSD I SEBAGAI STUDI KASUSPerilaku sedentary/pasif telah meningkatkan resiko terkena non-communicable disease yang menimbulkan munculnya kebutuhan untuk mendorong aktivitas fisik aktif yang dilakukan di ruang terbuka. Akan tetapi, kuantitas ruang terbuka hijau (RTH) belum memenuhi proporsi minimum 30% dari total luas area dan kualitas desain RTH sebagai promotor aktivitas fisik aktif (kesehatan) belum memiliki referensi desain. Oleh karena itu, evaluasi desain dilakukan untuk mengetahui permasalahan, potensi solusi, dan strategi yang terdapat pada RTH sekarang ini sebagai panduan rancang yang mendorong kegiatan fisik aktif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif yang dilakukan melalui empat tahap, yaitu: 1. studi pustaka mengenai lima tanda vital salutogenic (diversity, vitality, nature, authenticity, dan legacy) untuk mengidentifikasi parameter evaluasi (kriteria perancangan dan indikator desain), 2. pemilihan objek studi, 3. pengumpulan data melalui survey, observasi dan wawancara, dan 4. identifikasi dan evaluasi kualitas desain RTH. Objek studi terpilih merupakan RTH yang berpotensi memenuhi lima tanda vital salutogenic, yaitu Taman Kota BSD I (TK I), Tangerang Selatan. Hasil evaluasi RTH adalah pentingnya mengintegrasikan unsur alam sebagai setting RTH karena karakteristiknya yang spesifik menjadi daya tarik utama untuk beraktivitas aktif. Selain itu, RTH perlu menyediakan fasilitas lengkap dan pemeliharaannya untuk seluruh kategori usia dan skala aktivitas dari personal hingga komunitas. Secara keseluruhan, RTH perlu mengembangkan program dan strategi implementasi untuk mengembangkan aktivitas edukasi dan preservasi yang melibatkan komunitas secara aktif.

Pasien geriatri adalah pasien usia lanjut yang memiliki karakteristik multipatologi, daya faali menurun, dan dengan tanda penyakit yang tidak khas. Terapi pengobatan yang diterima pasien geriatri sangat kompleks sehingga sering menimbulkan Drug Related Problem terutama pada organ ginjal. Jamu menjadi terapi alternatif pada pasien geriatri yang memerlukan terapi jangka lama. Tujuan studi kasus ini adalah untuk melihat pengaruh pemberian jamu pada pasien geriatri yang sudah berobat dalam jangka waktu 45 bulan terhadap fungsi ginjal. Metode penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus berdasarkan data rekam medis di Rumah Riset Jamu Tawangmangu terhadap pasien geriatri yang secara rutin kontrol dan periksa ureum atau kreatinin selama 45 bulan dan masih mengkonsumsi jamu hingga bulan April 2018. Untuk melihat pengaruh jamu pada ginjal dilakukan pemeriksaan Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR). Hasil: Seorang laki-laki umur 61 tahun dengan keluhan tangan kanan merasa kesemutan. Pasien memiliki riwayat penyakit hipertensi dan diabetes mellitus lebih dari 15 tahun. Tekanan darah 140/90 mmHg dan tanda vital serta pemeriksaan fisik lainnya dalam batas normal. Pemeriksaan laboratorium Gula Darah Puasa (GDP) 227 mg/dL, ureum dan kreatinin diperiksa setelah bulan kelima pasien minum jamu yaitu ureum 35 mg/dL dan kreatinin 0,89 mg/dL. Selama minum jamu terjadi fluktuasi nilai GFR pasien tetapi tidak sampai menurun hingga kategori berat. Pada akhir bulan ke-45 meskipun terjadi penurunan GFR pasien dibanding pemeriksaan GFR yang pertama tetapi masih dalam kategori yang sama dengan nilai GFR pertama kali periksa (kategori ringan). Kesimpulan: Pemberian jamu dalam jangka waktu 45 bulan secara berturut-turut pada pasien geriatri tidak menyebabkan penurunan GFR signifikan.   Geriatric patients are elderly patients who have the characteristics of multi pathology, decreased physiology, and atypical symptom of a disease. Treatment received by geriatric patients is very complex so it often leads to Drug-Related Problems, especially in the kidney organs. Jamu is an alternative therapy for geriatric patients who need long-term therapy. The objective of this case study was to evaluate the effect of Jamu (herbs) on kidney function of geriatric patients who have been treated for 45 months. The research method was a case study based on the medical record of geriatric patients at Jamu Research Center in Tawangmangu who routinely control and examine for their urea or creatinine levels for 45 months and still consume herbs until April 2018. In order to evaluate the effect of jamu on the kidney, Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR) was examined. Results:  A 61-year-old male with a right hand feeling tingling. Patients have a medical history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus for more than 15 years. His blood pressure was 140/90 mmHg, meanwhile, the vital signs and other physical examinations were within normal levels. Laboratory tests of Fasting Blood Sugar (GDP) showed a level of 227 mg / dL, urea and creatinine levels were examined after the fifth month consumed jamu, the urea level was 35 mg / dL and creatinine level was 0.89 mg / dL. During jamu consumption there was a fluctuation in the patient's GFR but not until the severe category. At the end of the 45th month, despite a decrease in the patient's GFR compared to the first GFR examination but still in the same category as the first GFR score (mild category). Conclusion: Jamu consumption for 45 consecutive months in geriatric patients did not cause a significant reduction in GFR
