Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan pemberian aromaterapi lemon efektif untuk mengurangi emesis gravidarum pada ibu hamil trimester pertama.  Kata kunci: aromaterapi lemon, emesis gravidarum THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEMON AROMATHERAPY FOR HANDLING EMESIS GRAVIDARUM   ABSTRACT Studies estimate that nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum) occur in 50 – 90% of pregnancies. Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy have a significant impact on the body in which it makes a mother becomes weak, pale, and decreasing body fluid so that the blood becomes thick (hemoconcentration). This situation can slow down blood circulation and inflict the lack of oxygen and food supplies to the body tissues so that it can endanger the health of the mother and fetus. One of the therapies that is safe and can be conducted to reduce nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is by giving the lemon aromatherapy treatment. The research aims to determine the effectiveness of the aroma of lemon therapy to deal with emesis gravidarum. This study applied quasi-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study was pregnant women who experienced emesis gravidarum. Furthermore, samples were 20 mothers from Berbah, Sleman taken by using a purposive sampling technique. Nausea and vomiting were assessed between before and after giving lemon aromatherapy using the Rhodes Index. The data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The mean score of nausea and vomiting before giving lemon aromatherapy on mother with emesis gravidarum based on the Rhodes Index was 22.1. However, it decreased after given lemon aromatherapy treatment to 19.8. Therefore, there was an effect on giving lemon aromatherapy treatment toward the decrease of nausea and vomiting for pregnant women (p-value = 0.017).

10085 Background: Exertional dyspnea is one of the most common, debilitating and difficult-to-treat symptoms in cancer patients. Few clinical trials have been conducted. We tested the hypothesis that FBT, a rapid onset opioid, given prophylactically prior to exertion can improve exertional dyspnea. Methods: In this double-blind parallel (1:1) RCT, we asked cancer patients who were opioid-tolerant and had exertional dyspnea to complete a 6 minute walk test (6MWT) at baseline, and then randomly assigned them to either FBT proportional to 20-50% of daily dose or placebo 30 minutes before a second 6MWT. The primary outcome was a validated 11-point dyspnea NRS assessing dyspnea “now” (where 0 = none and 10 = worst possible) every minute during each 6MWT. Secondary outcomes included walk distance, vital signs and neurocognitive testing, adverse effects, and global impression. Ten evaluable patients in the FBT provided 80% power to detect an effect size as small as 1.0 using a two-sided paired t-test with a significance level of 5% to compare the change of dyspnea between the first and second walk tests. We compared the outcomes between the first and second 6MWTs using paired t-test. Results: Among 22 patients enrolled, 20 (91%) completed the study (9 FBT, 11 placebo). FBT was associated with a significant within-arm reduction in dyspnea NRS between 0 and 6 minutes (mean change -2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] -3.5, -1.3) and respiratory rate (mean change -2.6, 95% CI -4.7, -0.4). Placebo was also associated with a non-statistically significant decrease in dyspnea (mean change -1.1). Between arm comparison of dyspnea scores in the second 6MWT favored FBT, albeit not statistically significant (estimate -0.25, P = 0.068). Global impression revealed more patients in the FBT group than placebo group reporting their dyspnea was at least “somewhat better” in the second 6MWT (4/9 vs. 0/11, P = 0.03). The other secondary outcomes did not differ significantly between arms. Conclusions: These data support our hypothesis that proportionally dosed FBT was associated with improvement in exertional dyspnea, and highlights the need for larger confirmatory trials. Clinical trial information: NCT01856114.

Background: Nowadays, obesity is one of the biggest public health problems. Obesity is an excessive accumulation of fat that can occur when fat-producing foods, such as carbohydrates or sugar, are over-consumed. Sucrose is a type of carbohydrate contained in food and is a medium for bacterial growth. Therefore, the consumption of sucrose can increase the risk of dental caries. Purpose: This study aims to analyse the correlation between carbohydrate intake and dental caries in obese individuals. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. In this study, 50 participants aged 18–40 were selected from an obese community in Jakarta using a quota sampling technique. The carbohydrate intake was assessed using the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), the body fat percentage was measured with the bioelectrical impedance analysis method, and the dental caries index was assessed using the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMF-T) index. The data obtained were tested with a simple linear regression statistical test at a significance level of 5%. Results: The results showed that the average carbohydrate daily intake value of obese individuals was 1209.84 g, while the average value of the DMF-T index for obese individuals was 7.98. The results of the statistical tests revealed that there was a strong and positive correlation between carbohydrate intake and the DMF-T index. The effect of carbohydrate intake on the DMF-T index was 50.98%. Conclusion: A positive correlation means that the larger the carbohydrate intake, the higher the DMF-T index. Hence, controlling carbohydrate intake can prevent dental caries.
