One of the photokeratitis risk factors is acute reversible radiation of ultraviolet (UV) rays, which injure the cornea's epithelial tissue. Informal welding workers are susceptible populations to UV rays exposure. This study aimed to confirm the influence of UV radiation exposure on photokeratitis complaints in welding workers in Cimanggis, Depok, West Java. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to June 2019 and used to select 100 welding workers purposively. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to determine photokeratitis complaints, age, education level, eye protection, safety knowledge, and work period; the UV radiation measured by A UV meter. Data were analyzed using a logistic regression test. We found the proportion of photokeratitis to be 84.0%, with 76.0% of UV radiation exceeding the Threshold Limit Values (TLV). The logistic regression test showed a significant effect of UV radiation on photokeratitis after controlling confounding variables (education level, eye protection, safety knowledge, and welding distance) (p-value = 0.006; AdjOR = 7.236; 95% CI: 1.74–30.07). It can be concluded that UV radiation, more than TLV, constitutes the primary risk factor for photokeratitis complaints. Risks for photokeratitis were influenced by low education level, poor eye protection, limited safety knowledge, and welding distance ≤ 45 cm.

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of presepsin and procalcitonin in patient with urosepsis. Material & Method: This is an observational prospective study. Patients who fulfilled the criteria for urosepsis at Soetomo Hospital Surabaya were enrolled. Presepsin and procalcitonin were measured at first admission. All patients were managed according to standard urosepsis therapy. At the 28th day of treatment, patients were evaluated and classified into survivor and non-survivor. The statistical analysis were tested with logistic regression test using software SPSS 23. Results: 30 urosepsis patients were included in this study with average age was 48.3 years (range 21-77 years). There were 23 survivor and 7 non-survivor. Mean presepsin values were higher in non-survivor than in survivor but the difference was not significant (4405 ± 4664 vs 4042 ± 2643, p=0.259). Mean procalcitonin value was significantly higher in non-survivor than in survivor (7.68 ± 6.81 vs 3.27 ± 2.74, p=0.013). Using the cut off value ≥2.24 ng/ml, procalcitonin can predict mortality in 28 days with sensitivity 71.4% and specificity 47.8%. Conclusion: Presepsin can not be used to determine the prognosis of urosepsis patients. Procalcitonin showed a significant correlation with outcome of urosepsis patients so it can be use to determine the prognosis of urosepsis.

Abstract Background ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) Patients suffered from progressive heart failure, for which progressive and aggravated Left ventricle stiffness was one of the major culprit. Myocardial deformation in the early diastole is largely affected by the left ventricle compliance which could partly reflect chamber stiffness and potentially predict left ventricular remodeling for post-STEMI patients. Purpose To determine the value of diastolic strain rate in detecting left ventricle stiffness and early heart failure in post-STEMI patients. Methods A number of 52 (M/F: 46/6, age: 54.27 [46.8–62.3]yrs) patients with STEMI three months ago were prospectively recruited from 2016 to 2017. Follow-up was done until 2018. The primary end points were the symptoms of heart failure (NYHA II-IV). Consent was acquired from each patient and 3.0 T MRI was arranged. Imaging analysis was performed on Cvi 42 (V5.9.3 Canada). Peak radial strain (PS) and strain rate (SR) were extracted both from 2D short- and long-axis cine images, while peak circumferential parameters only from the short axis slices and longitudinal the long axis slices. The diastolic strain rate ratios (DSRRs) were calculated as the peak early diastolic SR divided by the peak late diastolic SR, which were derived from the two peak points on the corresponding curve of time-to-SR curve in the diastole (Figure 1a). Receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis and Logistic regression test were done for statistical analysis on R project and P<0.05 was considered as significant. Results Three patients were excluded due to unsatisfied cine images. Among the 52 patients, none of the patients died or had congestive heart failure. 23/52 (44.2%) patients complained of heart failure symptoms at the one-year follow-up. No significant difference was found in LVEF and three directional peak strain values or systolic peak strain rates between the patients with and without heart failure. Patients with symptoms had lower Longitudinal PS (P=0.049), early diastolic radial SR (P=0.01798), longitudinal SR (P=0.0042), and decreased DSRR in all directions (Figure 1b). Multivariate Logistic regression test showed that only DSRR in the radial direction on the short axis (DSRR-SR) was the independent predictor of the heart failure symptoms (6.59; range, 6.71–3.68; P=0.026). ROC analysis demonstrated that the DSRR-SR of 2.35 had sensitivity 91.3% and specificity 58.6% for the prediction of heart failure (Figure 1c). Figure 1 Conclusion DSRR especially DSRR-SR was more sensitive to left ventricle stiffness change and help predict the progression of heart failure for Post-STEMI patients. Further studies were needed to verify the its association with other cardiovascular clinical events.

Background: Poorly informed college students tend to adopt the habit of cigarette smoking. This habit often continues into their adulthoods, adversely affecting the population’s health and increasing the burden on healthcare systems. Aim: We aimed at exploring the predictors of the avoidable habit of smoking. We performed an analysis of the correlation between the potential predictors (marijuana use among peers and truancy) and the tobacco smoking statuses of the students. Material and method: Our study sample included 2976 students from colleges in Timis County, Romania, during the 2018–2019 period. The gender distribution of the participants was 62.5% girls and 37.5% boys, between the ages 18 and 25 years. A logistic regression test was performed to determine the impact of some personal and environmental factors, which are responsible for heavy smoking in this population. Results: Our findings suggest that the degree of marijuana smoking among friends and the frequency of college truancy are meaningful predictors of heavy smoking among young adults. The students with higher cigarette smoking rates had significantly more marijuana-smoking friends when compared to the students with average smoking rates. The truancy was higher among the students with higher cigarette smoking rates, compared to the students with average smoking rates.

Abstract Background: The husband's involvement in ANC is a form of the husband's responsibility for his wife's health. This study aims to analyze the effect of the husband's education level on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia.Methods: The study employed the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey data. The unit of analysis was poor coupled with wives aged 15-49 years old and had been pregnant for the past five years. Samples of 6,414 couple were obtained. Besides the husband's education, other independent variables analyzed in this study were of the place of residence, age, occupation, and wife’s parity. A binary logistic regression test was occupied in the final stage.Results: The results showed that husbands who had primary education were 1.470 times more likely than no education husbands for husband's involvement in ANC visit. Husbands who have secondary education were likely 2.129 times compared to no education husband for husband's involvement. Meanwhile, a husband who has a higher education was probably 3.618 times compared to no education husband for husband's involvement. In addition to the education level, 3 other variables proved to be significantly influential on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the people in Indonesia, namely place of residence, occupation, and wife’s parity.Conclusion: The husband's education level was a determinant of the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia. The better the education level, the more likely it is that husband's involvement in the ANC visit.

Abstract: Elderly, Hypertension, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference and Hip. The problem of hypertension is one of the most common diseases in elderly people. Risk factors that can cause hypertension are obesity and central obesity. That is caused by the lack of appropriateness of eating intake with activity in the elderly are declining. So there is a possibility of normal BMI and RLPP will reduce the risk of hypertension. This study aims to determine IMT and RLPP measurements as a predictor of hypertension. This type of research is observational with cross-sectional design and the number of research subjects is 71 elderly who suffer from hypertension and not hypertension. Sampling using total sampling method. Data analysis was done by univariate and bivariate analysis using chi-square test and logistic regression test. The result of statistic test showed that there was a correlation between body mass index with hypertension 0,002 (p <0,002) and BMI was risk factor proved by RR 2,228 (CI 1,3333,723). There is a relationship between RLPP with hypertension 0.000 (p <0.000) and RLPP is hypertension risk factor with RR value 4,340 (CI 1,896-9,933). The result of BMT logistic regression test is not a predictor of hypertension, but RLPP is a predictor to determine hypertension with the formula Y = -3,614 + 2,285X1. It is advisable for the elderly to maintain normal RLPP in order to reduce the risk of hypertension.

Injuries due to traffic accidents were ranked eighth as health problem that caused deaths in several countries. Many traffic accidents occur in Africa and Southeast Asia with mortality rate of 26.6 and 20.7 deaths per 100,000 populations in 2016. East Java Province was ranked second as the location of traffic accidents on Java. Surabaya was ranked fifth as a contributor to the large number of road traffic accidents in East Java. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between parents’ authoritarian parenting and the experience of teenage traffic accidents while riding a motorcycle. This research is a cross sectional study and uses two stage random sampling method. From the sampling process, as many as 222 students were obtained as respondents. The instrument used in this study consists of personal data and the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) to identify parenting style. Data analysis was carried out by logistic regression test with α= 5%. The data collection process was carried out during April-October 2017 in public and private high school in Surabaya. Logistic regression test results showed that there is no significant impact between parenting style and traffic accidents experienced by respondents (authoritarian p = 0.966; OR = 0.967, permissive p = 0.616; OR = 1.556). The conclusion of this study is that traffic accidents are not directly affected by parenting style, but it has role in forming individual characteristics, such as decision making and driving attitudes.
