Investigation on the Sensitivity and Specificity of Lipid Profile in the Second Trimester in the Incidence of Preeclampsia in Women Referring to Beheshti and Al-Zahra Hospitals during the Years of 2016 and 2017

Introduction: Preeclampsia is described as a systemic disorder and leads to a potentially life threatening disease. The evidences show that stress oxidative of lipid profile is effective in the pathogenesis of Preeclampsia. In this study, specificity and sensitivity of lipid profile as a predictive factor in the incidence of preeclampsia was studied. Methods: This study was a cohort study that conducted on pregnant women referring to hospitals from 2016 to 2017. In this study, 244 prim gravid women with normal blood pressure in the weeks of 16-18 were included and a lipid profile test wasrequested. Finally, it was followed the cases for the incidence of preeclampsia till the end of pregnancy. In this study, the SPSS 20 software was utilized. Moreover, the Chi-Square, Covariance and independent t tests was run. Results: During this study, 16 cases developed preeclampsia. In preeclamptic cases it was found considerable changes in lipid profile such as significant increase in LDL and TC, and significant decrease in HDL (P-value < 0.001). Likewise, it was not found considerable changes in TG (P-value=0.21). Furthermore, TC with sensitivity of 68.8 % and specificity of 69.6 %, LDL with sensitivity 75 % and specificity of 75.8 % and HDL with sensitivity of 76.2 % and specificity of 75 % were reported. Conclusion: The findings in our study suggested that cases that developed preeclampsia had disturbed lipid profile and the best predictive factors are HDL, LDL and TC, respectively.

Abstract Delirium is a serious and potentially life-threatening problem, but it remains clinically under-recognized. Various factors contribute to this under-recognition, including limited understanding of delirium, insufficient training and application of delirium assessments, potential stigma for the patient and increased workload for the clinician. As a part of an NIH funded study testing a rapid two-step delirium identification protocol at two hospitals in the U.S. (one urban and one rural), clinicians completed a 12-item survey to assess their knowledge and attitudes about delirium and their confidence in preventing and managing delirium. Survey response options followed a 5-point rating scale (strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree). The sample for this analysis included 399 clinicians (MDs=53; RNs=235; CNAs=111). Chi-square was used to test for group differences between clinician types. Less than half of the clinicians reported agreeing with the statement, “delirium is largely preventable” (MDs: 47%; RN: 44%; CNA: 41%, p-value=0.021). MDs and RNs indicated a high level of confidence in recognizing delirium while CNAs endorsed lower levels of confidence (MDs: 87%; RN: 81%; CNA: 65%, p-value=0.001). All types of clinicians reported lower confidence in managing delirium (MDs: 29%; RN: 36%; CNA: 44%, p-value=0.117). 47% of CNAs and 37% of RNs agreed there is a need for additional training in caring for persons with delirium while only 21% of MDs agreed (p = 0.031). Understanding how different types of clinicians think and feel about delirium will inform training and communication initiatives, clinical implementation, and research on best practices for delirium identification and management.

Background: Abnormalities of the heart and blood vessels marked by an increase in blood pressure are known as hypertension. Worldwide, high blood pressure is estimated to affect more than one in three adults aged 25 years and over, or about one billion people. Overall, high-income countries have a lower prevalence of hypertension (35% of adults) than low and middle-income groups (40% of adults). The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia based on the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data in 2018 was 34.1%. Objective: This study determines the relationship of family support, social support, and health worker support with compliance of hypertensive patients. Methods: This research was conducted at the Tegal Gundil Community Health Center, North Bogor District, Bogor City, Indonesia, which was conducted from May to December 2017. The design of this study was cross-sectional. Sampling was carried out with a purposive sampling method with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The former consisted of all hypertensive patients aged 25-65 years who routinely control during the last six months who are present and willing to be interviewed during the study. The later includes hypertensive patients who have memory disorders with the number of samples of 110 respondents. Results: The results showed the respondents were dominated by the age of under 59 (75.5%), female (86.4%), junior high school as the highest education (68.2%), have no job (81.8%), and the prevalence of their sufferers’ compliance was 47.3%. The results of the Chi-square test showed that family support, social environment, and health workers were associated with compliance in hypertensive patients (OR = 2.461; CI 95% 1.140 to 5.310; P Value = 0.034). Conclusion: In order to improve compliance of patients with hypertension, it is necessary to pursue a program of activities focused on health promotion activities not only for patients but also involving family and social members.

Introduction Data obtained from the working area of Puskesmas Tumpaan found that hypertension in the elderly was the first prominent disease in the range of January-December 2017, as many as 465 patients and in 2018 the number of patients was 510. Based on preliminary studies of elderly people with high blood pressure, said their blood pressure often increases because they do not adhere to a diet. Lack of support from family members can influence the compliance behavior of implementing a hypertension diet. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between family support and adherence to the diet of elderly people with hypertension in the work area of the Puskesmas Tumpaan in the coastal areas and and mountain areas. This type of research is Correlation Analytic with cross sectional design. The population in this study is the elderly with hypertension. The sampling technique uses proportional random sampling with a total of 84 people divided into 42 people in coastal areas and 42 people in mountain areas and data analysis techniques using the Chi Square test. The results showed that in the coastal areas 31% of respondents with good family support, 40% of respondents had adequate family support and 29% of respondents had less family support while 52% showed adherent diet adherence and 48% adherence to non-adherent diet. The results of the chi-square statistical test (Pearson chi-square) obtained a P-value of 0.008, meaning that the P-value <0.05. The results of the study in the mountain areas of 40% of respondents with good family support, 31% of respondents with adequate family support and 29% of respondents with less family support, 57% showed adherent diet adherence and 43% of adherent diet adherence. The results of the chi-square statistical test (Pearson chi-square) obtained a P-value of 0.021, meaning that the P-value <0.05. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship of family support with adherence to the diet of elderly patients with hypertension in both coastal and mountain areas.

Abstract Introduction: It is imperative that efforts are to be made to recognize individuals with metabolic syndrome from different sets of population so that they may be identified for intensive risk factor management to reduce cardiovascular risk. We evaluated the incidence and associated factors of metabolic syndrome in inmates of old age homes. Methods: This study involved 189 subjects aged between 55-75 years of either sex housed in old age homes. In every subject waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar and plasma lipids were measured. Ongoing treatments were taken into account. Patients with metabolic syndrome were identified using IDF-2005 definition. Data analysis was done by Chi -square test. p value less than 0.05 was taken as significant. Result: Metabolic syndrome was found in 57.67% of study subjects. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in 55 - 60 years age group (x2 =17.06, p < 0.01) and in females (x2 = 4.33, p < 0.05). Disease load of dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus and hypertension was higher in metabolic syndrome group compared to non-metabolic syndrome group (x2 = 11.40, p<0.001; x2 = 47.90, p<0.0001; x2 = 4.72, p<0.05 respectively). In patients receiving treatment for diabetes and hypertension, frequency of subjects with hyperglycemia and high blood pressure was higher in metabolic syndrome group compared to non-metabolic syndrome group (x2 = 10.69, p<0.01; x2 = 4.46, p<0.05 respectively). Conclusion: In this population it is found that, 55-60 years age group and females are at greater risk for metabolic syndrome. Subjects with metabolic syndrome are resistant to anti-diabetic and antihypertensive treatment.

Hypertension is a disorder of the circulatory system, when the systolic blood pressure is 140 mm Hg and the diastolic blood pressure is 90 mm Hg. The causes of hypertension are heredity, age, gender, obesity (overeating), lack of exercise, stress, excessive salt consumption, other influences: caffeine, smoking, alcohol consumption, taking drugs. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and lifestyle of hypertensive patients with stroke prevention efforts at the Binjai Village Health Center Medan in 2020. The type of research conducted was descriptive analytic with a cross sectional design. The population in this study were all hypertensive patients at the Binjai Village Health Center Medan with a sample of 87 people using purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the majority of respondents had less knowledge as many as 42 people (48.3%) and an unhealthy lifestyle as many as 67 people (77.0%). Based on the chi-square test, it was found that there was no relationship between the level of knowledge and the prevention of stroke in hypertension patients at the Binjai Village Health Center in 2020 with a p-value = 0.395 > = 0.05 and there was no relationship between lifestyle and stroke prevention in hypertension patients in Binjai Village Health Center in 2020 with a p-value = 0.516 > =0.05. The conclusion in this study is that there is no relationship between the level of knowledge and lifestyle of hypertensive patients with stroke prevention efforts. It is recommended for people with hypertension to further increase their knowledge about prevention of stroke due to uncontrolled blood pressure and pay more attention to their health, especially in early examinations and it is hoped that the puskesmas will be more active in inviting hypertension sufferers to do exercise every week and make early stroke introduction counseling. Abstrak Hipertensi adalah suatu gangguan pada sistem peredaran darah, yaitu apabila tekanan darah sistol sebesar 140 mmHg dan diastol sebesar 90 mm Hg. Penyebab hipertensi adalah keturunan, umur, jenis kelamin, kegemukan (makan berlebih), kurang olahraga, stress, konsumsi garam berlebih, pengaruh lain : kafein, merokok, konsumsi alkohol, minum obat-obatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dan gaya hidup penderita hipertensi dengan upaya pencegahan stroke di Puskesmas Desa Binjai Medan Tahun 2020. Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah diskriftif analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh pasien hipertensi di Puskesmas Desa Binjai Medan dengan jumlah sampel 87 orang dengan menggunakan teknik Purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mayoritas responden memiliki pengetahuan kurang sebanyak 42 orang (48,3%) dan gaya hidup yang kurang sehat sebanyak 67 orang (77,0%). Berdasarkan uji chi-square didapatkan tidak ada hubungan hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dengan pencegahan stroke pada penderita hipertensi di Puskesmas Desa Binjai Tahun 2020 dengan nilai p-value = 0,395 > α=0,05 dan tidak ada hubungan gaya hidup dengan pencegahan stroke pada penderita hipertensi di Puskesmas Desa Binjai Tahun 2020 dengan nilai p-value = 0,516 > α=0,05. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini yaitu tidak ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dan gaya hidup penderita hipertensi dengan upaya pencegahan stroke. Disarankan bagi penderita hipertensi untuk lebih meningkatkan pengetahuannya tentang pencegahan stroke akibat tekanan darah yang tidak terkontrol dan lebih memperhatikan kesehatannya khususnya dalam pemeriksaan dini dan diharapkan bagi pihak puskesmas untuk lebih aktif mengajak para penderita hipertensi untuk melakukan senam setiap minggunya dan membuat penyuluhan pengenalan stroke secara dini.
