Blood Test Results of Pregnant COVID-19 Patients: An Updated Case-Control Study

Aim: To compare symptoms and blood test results prior to cancer diagnosis in individuals who developed lung cancer and those who did not. Patients & methods: Nested case–control study, lung cancer patients were matched to up four controls with no record of cancer. Differences in symptoms and blood test results were investigated in the 2-year period prior to diagnosis. Results: 26,379 lung cancer patients were matched to 92,125 controls. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) was independently predictive of lung cancer at every 2-month interval 12 months prior to diagnosis. Elevated CRP in conjunction with at least one symptom was associated with greater than fourfold higher odds of lung cancer. Conclusion: CRP may be a prediagnostic marker for lung cancer, and when present with other symptoms could facilitate the investigation of high-risk individuals.

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : IMD sangat bermanfaat bukan hanya bagi bayi yang baru lahir tetapi juga bagi ibu yang melakukan IMD. Jika bayi berada dalam dekapan ibu, maka bayi tersebut dengan sendirinya merangkak ke payudara ibu dan akan mulai menghisap puting susu ibunya. Data menunjukkan bahwa di Indonesia, persentase pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI) dalam 1 jam pertama setelah bayi dilahirkan masih rendah yaitu sebesar 38%. Angka tersebut masih jauh tertinggal bila dibandingkan dengan negara-negara berkembang lainnya seperti Oman (85%), Srilangka (75%), Filipina (54%), dan Turki (54%)(SDKI 2017). Oleh karena itu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk Mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi penerapan inisiasi menyusu dini di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Jumpandang Baru Makassar tahun 2018..Jenis penelitian ini: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain case control study. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah semua ibu yang melahirkan di Wilayah kerja Puskesmas Jumpandang Baru. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan Consecutive Sampling yaitu dengan perbandingan 1 : 2 yang dibutuhkan adalah 30 kasus dan 60 kontrol.. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan lembaran kuesioner. Data dianalisis secara univariat, bivariat dan multivariat dengan menggunakan uji Regresi Berganda LogistikHasil penelitian : Ada pengaruh pengetahuan ( OR = 5,5), peran bidan/penolong persalinan (OR = 12,571), dukungan dari suami ( OR = 3,3) terhadap penerapan inisiasi menyusu dini dan Hasil uji multivariat menunjukkan bahwa variabel peran bidan/penolong persalinan merupakan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap penerapan inisiasi menyusu dini dengan nilai Wald sebesar 13 dan signifikansi sebesar 0,010.Kesimpulan : Terdapat pengaruh pengetahuan, peran bidan/penolong persalinan , dukungan dari suami terhadap penerapan inisiasi menyusu dini, dan variable peran bidan/penolong persalinan yang paling berpengaruh terhadap penerapan inisiasi menyusu dini. Kata Kunci: Penerapan Inisiasi Menyusu DiniABSTRACT Background: IMD is very beneficial not only for newborns but also for mothers who do IMD. If the baby is in the mother's arms, the baby naturally crawls into the mother's breast and will start sucking her mother's nipples. Data shows that in Indonesia, the percentage of breastfeeding in the first 1 hour after the baby is born is still low at 38%. This figure is far behind when compared to other developing countries such as Oman (85%), Sri Lanka (75%), the Philippines (54%), and Turkey (54%) (IDHS 2017) . Therefore the purpose of the research This is to find out the factors that influence the application of early breastfeeding initiation in the working area of the Jumpandang Baru Makassar Health Center in 2018 ..Type of research: This study uses a case control study design. The population in this study were all mothers who gave birth in the Working Area of the Jumpandang Baru Health Center. Sampling was done by Consecutive Sampling, which is a ratio of 1: 2. It takes 30 cases and 60 controls. Data collection is done using a questionnaire sheet. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate using the Multiple Logistic Regression testResults: There was influence of knowledge (OR = 5,5), role of midwife / birth attendant (OR = 13), support from husband (OR = 3,3) on the application of early breastfeeding initiation and multivariate test results showed that the role of midwives / birth attendants was a factor the most influential on the application of early breastfeeding initiation with a Wald value of 12,956 and a significance of 0.010.Conclusion: There is an influence of knowledge, the role of midwives / birth attendants, support from husbands on the application of early breastfeeding initiation, and the role variables of midwives / birth attendants who most influence the application of early breastfeeding initiation.

Structured Questionnaire

Abstract Background: In recent years, lung cancer (LC) incidence has increased in Iran. The use of opium and its derivatives (O&D) has increased as well. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the use of O&D and LC incidence. Methods: In this case-control study conducted in Kerman, Iran; 140 patients with lung cancer and 284 healthy controls matched by age, sex, and place of residence were included. Data including O&D use, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and diet were collected using a structured questionnaire. The relation between the use of O&D and LC was evaluated using conditional logistic regression test. Results: The use of opium was associated with an increased risk of LC (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 7.95, 95% CI: 3.78 -16.73). A significant dose-response relation between the use of opium and its derivatives was observed (low use AOR = 7.47, 95% CI: 2.33-23.98 and high use AOR = 11.57, 95% CI: 2.25-59.49). Also, there was a relation between starting to use O&D at lower ages and an increased risk of LC (AOR = 5.78, 95 % CI: 2.36 - 14.14). Conclusion: The results of this study support that opium use could be considered as a strong risk factor for LC. Thus, it is highly suggested that tailored policies to be applied in order to reduce use of opium.

Abstract Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common retinal vascular disease that causes a loss of vision. Therefore, we investigated whether there is seasonal variation in the onset of RVO, to examine the possibility of preventing it. Methods: Patients with RVO who were treated at the Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital between April 2013 and March 2017 were included in this retrospective study. The season in which the RVO occurred was recorded for each case, and the cases were grouped into 2-month periods and classified by age, sex and hypertension status. The frequency of occurrence of RVO across seasons was compared using a chi-squared test. Results: A total of 348 patients with RVO presented during the study period, with information regarding the date of RVO onset. The cohort of 348 consisted of 167 males and 181 females who, overall, had a mean age of 64.0 years (range 17–96 years). The highest incidence of RVO onset was during January/February, with the lowest incidence during July/August. Patient age, sex and hypertension status did not influence the results. Conclusions: The seasonal onset of RVO tended to be higher in January and February and lower in July and August. These findings suggest that eyecare professionals should be more vigilant in watching for the occurrence of RVO during winter, regardless of the patient’s sex, age or hypertension status.
