Abstract: Haemoglobin is the main component of red blood cells that serves as a transporter of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The normal range of haemoglobin values can be used to determine the degree of anemia according to age and gender. Geographical condition such as altitude influences the haemoglobin value. This study aimed to obtain the difference of haemoglobin levels between teenagers with good nutrition status who live at the highland and those at the seaside. This was an observational analytical study with a cross sectional design. Samples were students with good nutrition status of SMPN 3 Tomohon (living at the highland) and those of SMP Kristen Nazaret Tuminting (living at the seaside). There were 60 students who met the inclusion criteria as follows: adolescent, good nutrition status, healthy, aged 13-15 years, lived at the highland or at the seaside ≥ 6 month, and willing to be performed blood examinations, and had been approved by their parents. The Mann-Whitney test for the difference between haemoglobin levels of the two groups showed a p value < 0,001. Conclusion: There was a very significant difference between haemoglobin levels of good nutrition teenagers who lived at the highland and at the seaside. Keywords: haemoglobin levels, good nutrition, teenagers, highland, seaside  Abstrak: Hemoglobin merupakan komponen utama sel darah merah dan berfungsi sebagai transporter oksigen dan karbon dioksida dalam darah.

The chronic kidney disease is a global health problem with increasing prevalence and incidence and a poor prognosis. Therefore, those brought about by risk factors are primarily those which can be modified and controlled for their occurrence.  One of the risk factor is smoking habit. The objective of this study was to determine the associations between smoking and renal function profiles in PT.X employees. The study was conducted by using descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional design based on smoking habits and blood test samples of employees. The sample were 40 employees in PT.X which determined by consecutive sampling. The results showed that there were no associations between smoking with age (p = 0.222) and azotemia (p = 1.00) but there were associations between smoking and blood creatinine levels (p = 0.001), urea (p = 0.023), eGFR (p. = 0.001), and the stages of chronic kidney disease (p = 0.047).  Based on the study results, in can be concluded that there were associations between smoking and renal function profiles among employees of PT. X

Background: Although psoriasis is a Th1-dominant disease, certain investigations have also revealed the involvement of Th2 cells in the disease. Soluble CD30 (sCD30) is predominantly associated with various Th2 diseases. Therefore, the role of sCD30 in psoriasis requires further evaluation. Objectives: To evaluate the association between sCD30 and psoriasis. Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, the association between serum sCD30 levels and psoriasis was evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in sera obtained from patients with psoriasis. Results: The results indicated elevated sCD30 levels in 79 patients with psoriasis, and the levels were significantly higher in those with a prolonged duration of disease (duration > 10 years). Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between the duration of disease (years) and sCD30 (pg/mL) levels. These findings suggest that sCD30 is a useful marker for chronicity of psoriasis. Conclusion: Elevated sCD30 levels in psoriasis are associated with disease duration, and they may reflect the chronicity of psoriasis. Further research is required to determine the role of sCD30 in psoriasis.

ObjectivesWe investigated whether biopsychosocial and spiritual factors and satisfaction with care were associated with patients’ perceived quality of life.DesignThis was a cross-sectional analytical study.SettingData were collected from inpatients at a postacute geriatric rehabilitation centre in a university hospital in Switzerland.ParticipantsParticipants aged 65 years and over were consecutively recruited from October 2014 to January 2016. Exclusion criteria included significant cognitive disorder and terminal illness. Of 227 eligible participants, complete data were collected from 167.Main outcome measuresPerceived quality of life was measured using WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire—version for older people. Predictive factors were age, sex, functional status at admission, comorbidities, cognitive status, depressive symptoms, living conditions and satisfaction with care. A secondary focus was the association between spiritual needs and quality of life.ResultsPatients undergoing geriatric rehabilitation experienced a good quality of life. Greater quality of life was significantly associated with higher functional status (rs=0.204, p=0.011), better cognitive status (rs=0.175, p=0.029) and greater satisfaction with care (rs=0.264, p=0.003). Poorer quality of life was significantly associated with comorbidities (rs=−.226, p=0.033), greater depressive symptoms (rs=−.379, p<0.001) and unmet spiritual needs (rs=−.211, p=0.049). Multivariate linear regression indicated that depressive symptoms (β=−0.961; 95% CIs −1.449 to 0.472; p<0.001) significantly predicted quality of life.ConclusionsPatient perceptions of quality of life were significantly associated with depression. More research is needed to assess whether considering quality of life could improve care plan creation.

Objective: To determine the frequency of various metabolic abnormalities in children with urinary lithiasis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi, from 30 January 2017 to 1 February 2020. A total of 1355 children who were aged 4 to 14 years and who had renal stones were included, while those with urinary tract infections, posterior urethral valve, pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, reflux disease, and chronic renal failure were excluded. Twenty-four-hour urine samples were analyzed for urinary uric acid, calcium, oxalate, citrate, and magnesium. Demographics and metabolic abnormalities—hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hypocitraturia, hyperuricosuria, and hypomagnesuria—were noted and analyzed. Results: The study analysis included 1355 patients. Low urine volume was observed in 465 (34.3%) of the patients. Three hundred nine patients (22.8%) had metabolic abnormalities, the most common being hypocitraturia (184, 59.5%) followed by hypercalciuria (136, 44%) and hypomagnesuria (126, 40.8%). Mean age of presentation, disease duration, recurrent bilateral stones were found significantly different in those having metabolic abnormalities (7.81±2.25 versus 8.76±2.50 P < 0.001, 7.73±1.50 versus 8.43±1.54 P < 0.001, 19.4 versus 2.4% P < 0.001 respectively). No significant difference was found in frequency of abnormal urinary metabolic parameters between boys and girls (P > 0.05) or, upon data stratification, on the basis of disease duration, stone laterality, and recurrence. Conclusion: Metabolic abnormalities were found in 22.8% % of children presenting with urinary lithiasis. The most frequent abnormality observed was hypocitraturia followed by hypercalciuria and hypomagnesuria. Early identification helps manage such patients appropriately, mitigating long-term sequelae.
