Prostate enlargement is the most quality of life-impacted problem in elderly. Proper diagnoses and prostate volume prediction are important in considering the best treatment. PSA is a glycoprotein specifically secreted by prostate glands and influenced by various condition, such as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The aim of this study is to identify the correlation between PSA serum level and prostate mass volume. This was a descriptive study with cross-sectional design that conducted at Bhayangkara Hospital Mataram on April 2015. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and multiple regression logistic, to determine the relationship between PSA serum levels and prostate mass volume. The average PSA level was 34,62 ng/mL (1,82-30,70 ng/mL), and the average prostate mass volume were 72,57cc. There was correlation between PSA serum levels with prostate mass volume ( r = 0,384, p = 0,815). Conclusion, there is a relationship between PSA levels with prostate volume in BPH patients in Bhayangkara Mataram hospital.Keywords: Bhayangkara Hospital Mataram, BPH, prostate volume, PSA

Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) for elderly patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to large benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods Twenty-eight patients (>80 years of age) with prostate volume >80 mL were enrolled from October 2016 to October 2019. PAE was performed using microspheres and functional results were evaluated at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. The following data were recorded: International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), post-void residual urine volume, prostate volume and total prostate-specific antigen level. Results Selective prostatic arterial catheterization and embolization were achieved in 27 of 28 patients. Follow-up data were available for those 27 patients until 12 months postoperatively. Significant improvements were found at all postoperative time points in terms of the mean IPSS, mean QoL score, mean Qmax, mean post-void residual urine volume, mean total prostate-specific antigen level, and mean prostate volume. The overall complication rate was 46.4%. Conclusions PAE is an efficacious and safe treatment for elderly patients with large prostate volume; it may offer an effective approach for patients who are not candidates for open or endoscopic surgical procedures because of comorbidities.

Abstract: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an inability to achieve an erection sufficient for intercourse with his partner which causes dissatisfaction for both of them. The etiology of ED is classified as psychogenic, organic, drug abuse, and also by post-surgery. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease caused by aging. BPH clinical signs usually appear in more than 50% of men aged ≥50 years. This was a survey-descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using purposive sampling technique. Respondents were patients at Efrata Adventist Clinic in Manado. The instrument in this study was modified IIEF-5 questionnaire. The results showed that based on the duration of BPH, respondents who suffered from BPH >3 years were as many as 75.0% and <1 year were 7.1%. Based on the ages, respondents of 61-70 years were 46.5 and of 41-50 years were 7.1%. The erectile dysfunction of respondents was classified as moderate 42.9%, mild-moderate 32.1%, severe 17.9%, and mild 7.1%. Conclusion: Most of the erectile dysfunction with BPH >3 years was classified as moderate.Keywords: erectile dysfunction, BPH Abstrak: Disfungsi ereksi (DE) yaitu suatu ketidakmampuan untuk mencapai ereksi yang cukup untuk melakukan senggama bersama pasangannya sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpuasan diantara keduanya. Etiologi DE diklasifikasikan menjadi psikogenik, organik, penyalahgunaan obat-obatan dan juga oleh pasca tindakan bedah. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh penuaan. Tanda klinis BPH biasanya muncul pada lebih dari 50% laki-laki yang berusia 50 tahun ke atas. Jenis penelitian ialah survei deskriptif-observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling pada seluruh pasien di Klinik Advent Efrata Tikala Manado. Variabel penelitian ialah pasien BPH di Klinik Advent Tikala Manado. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner IIEF-5 yang telah dimodifikasi. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan berdasarkan lama menderita BPH, responden yang menderita BPH >3 tahun sebesar 75,0%; 1-2 tahun sebesar 17,9%; dan <1 tahun sebesar 7,1%. Berdasarkan usia responden berusia 61-70 tahun sebesar 46,5% dan 41-50 tahun sebesar 7,1%. DE pada BPH paling banyak termasuk klasifikasi sedang (42,9%), diikuti ringan-sedang (32,1%), berat (17,9%) dan ringan (7,1%). Simpulan: Sebagian besar pasien DE dengan BPH >3 tahun termasuk dalam klasifikasi sedang. Kata kunci: disfungsi ereksi, BPH

Background : Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bactery can be transmitted through airbone particles and droplets. The treatment is a long term therapy and can be a stressor which effect patient’s physical and psychologycal, that leads to depression. Objective : The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between pulmonary tuberculosis treatment duration and depression score.  Methods : This study was a correlative analysis with cross sectional design. The sample were 52 respondents whom currently endured the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in pulmonary unit in RSUD Pirngadi Medan, selected by consecutive sampling. Beck’s inventory depression II questionnaires were used to measure depression score. The data were analyzed with pearson correlation test.  Result : There was a low negative correlation between duration of pulmonary tuberculosis treatment and depression score (p = 0,027 ; r = -0,309) Conclusion  : The longer duration of pulmonary tuberculosis treatment, the lower the depression score.

ABSTRACTStress can be perceived as a response to threats situations (either physical or psychological) caused by individual inability  to overcome existing threats within his/her environment. Job stress is the result of interaction between an individual (i.e. a worker) and his/her occupation. The objective of this study to identify the factor affecting tojob stress by the divers at PT. X. This study applied cross-sectional design conducted by observing the divers at PT. X. The population of this study was all divers working at PT. X. Data was analyzed by Spearman Correlation Test, Pearson Correlation Test, and Chi-square Test. The results of this study is strong correlation between personality type and job stress (as indicated by correlation coefficient 0.645). The divers’ age (correlation coefficient -0.283), educational level (correlation coefficient -0.220), years of service/experience (correlation coefficient -0.158), length of diving session (correlation coefficient 0.083), and threats of marine animal attack (correlation coefficient 0.156) had lower correlation with job stress. While the divers residence might also affect their job stress (as indicated by correlation coefficient 0.539).Keywords: job stress, diver
