The prevalence of allergies is increasing from year to year due to the modern lifestyle in society. The incidence of allergies was influenced by several factors, such as genetics, age, sex, diet, food type, and also environmental factors. Determination of IgE levels in adolescents and young adults is important because the incidence of allergy is highly reported in adolescents and young adults. This study was conducted to determine IgE levels in allergies among university students in Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. This observational study was conducted among diploma students of Medical Laboratory Technology, Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. The data of characteristic subjects were collected by a self-administered questionnaire whereas data of IgE levels were collected by serum samples and measured by ELISA. A total of 23 students (4.35 % male and 95.65% female) were included. Seafood allergy (25%) were the commonest allergy among the students. Only 9% of subjects have combination allergies. The highest of IgE levels were 365 IU/mL.

Enzyme Biosensor

A conductimetric enzyme biosensor for uric acid detection has been developed. The uricase, as enzyme, is isolated from Candida utilis and immobilized on a nata de coco membrane-Pt electrode. The biosensor demonstrates a linear response to urate over the concentration range 1-6 ppm and has good selectivity properties. The response is affected by the membrane thickness and pH change in the range 7.5-9.5. The response time is three minutes in aqueous solutions and in human serum samples. Application of the biosensor to the determination of uric acid in human serum gave results that compared favourably with those obtained by medical laboratory. The operational stability of the biosensor was not less than three days and the relative error is smaller than 10%.

e13629 Background: Cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYAOs) refers to patients diagnosed with a malignancy between 16 and 39 years old. This is thought to be 5% in the Western population. The exact incidence and distribution in Asia is uncertain although the WHO estimated 650 000 AYAs to be newly diagnosed in this part of the world in 2018. There is limited data on the incidence and epidemiology on AYAs in Asia, but it is known from the western literature that the distribution of cancer types, clinico-pathological features and outcomes in this population is very different. We therefore, sought to evaluate the pattern of cancer types among the different age groups of the AYA population seen in a high-volume single Asian tertiary cancer centre. Methods: We undertook a retrospective observational study of all patients diagnosed with cancer between 16 and 39 years old who presented to the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019. Results: A total of 2583 cases was observed during the 5-year period. The male: female ratio was 1:1.75. The majority of the patients were between of 35-39 years (y) ( n= 1128, 44.0%). The most common cancer across the different age groups in females were sarcoma (16-19 y), hematologic malignancies (20-24 y) and breast cancer (25-29 y, 30-34 y and 35-39 y). The most common cancer across the different age groups in males were hematologic malignancies (16-19 y), germ cell tumours (20-24 y), germ cell tumours, hematologic malignancies and sarcoma (25-29 y), hematologic malignancies (30-34 y) and colorectal cancers (35-39 y). The majority of the patients presented were localized disease (38.3%), while 19.4% presented with lymphatic involvement. Amongst 507 (19.6%) patients presenting with metastatic disease, 126 patients have deceased. Conclusions: This population has unique characteristics compared to their geriatric and pediatric counterparts. With an increased incidence and expected longer survivals, more efforts are needed to better understand the clinicopathological features of the AYA population. This will enable us to better survival rates and long-term treatment outcomes.

Self Administered Questionnaire

This study aimed to discover if adolescents’ and young adults’ empathy capacity is higher when they engage more in fiction reading. A total of 301 students, aged 16-22, completed a self-administered questionnaire. More than half (56%) of the respondents consider reading as a hobby with books as the preferred reading material. Around 38% have moderate fiction reading scores and around 77% have high empathy capacity scores. Findings showed that the older the respondent is, the less likely they would read fiction and the lower their empathy level. Females are more likely to read fiction and are more empathic than males. Also, results revealed that the more the individual reads fiction, the more empathic they can become. Home and school interventions can be created to increase opportunities and desire for reading fiction and enhancing empathy capacity.

The Relationship

Abstract.Narcissism is seen as a multidimensional construct that consists of two manifestations: grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. In order to define these two manifestations, their relationship to personality factors has increasingly become of interest. However, so far no studies have considered the relationship between different phenotypes of narcissism and personality factors in adolescents. Method: In a cross-sectional study, we examine a group of adolescents (n = 98; average age 16.77 years; 23.5 % female) with regard to the relationship between Big Five personality factors and pathological narcissism using self-report instruments. This group is compared to a group of young adults (n = 38; average age 19.69 years; 25.6 % female). Results: Grandiose narcissism is primarily related to low Agreeableness and Extraversion, vulnerable narcissism to Neuroticism. We do not find differences between adolescents and young adults concerning the relationship between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism and personality traits. Discussion: Vulnerable and grandiose narcissism can be well differentiated in adolescents, and the pattern does not show substantial differences compared to young adults.
