Hemodialysis is one of the substitutional renal therapies given to chronic renal clients who are experiencing terminal stage or end-stage Renal Diseases (ESRD). In Indonesia, there are 655 renal units and 433 among them have sent the data to Indonesia Renal Registry (IRR). There are 77,892 clients who do hemodialysis therapy actively. Therefore, among them, 30,831 are new clients who have just started taking the therapy. Hemodialysis is a therapy to get rid of the toxic, water and soluble essence from the blood in clients who have ESRD. The success of hemodialysis can be known from the HD adequacy. The research aims to identify the influence of hemodialysis adequacy on the blood urea value and the research was conducted at the TK.II Dustira Cimahi Hospital. The research used quantitative with different tests. Ninety respondents were involved in the research by using a convenience sampling technique. Adequacy HD was calculated by using a calculator online KT/V and blood urea was obtained from the medical record of secondary data from the laboratory checking the pre and post HD urea blood. Analysis data used paired t-test. The research result showed that HD adequacy average was 1,27 and the urea average of pre HD was 165 mg/dl, furthermore the average of post urea HD was 59,93 mg/dl. The result of the analysis with paired t-test showed that there is an influence of hemodialysis adequacy on the blood urea value with p-value = 0,00 (p<0,05). Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an influence of hemodialysis adequacy towards the blood urea value. The suggestion for the renal unit is to increase the HD adequacy that aims to reduce blood urea value.

Introduction. Despite the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in geriatrics, data on nonagenarian patients is scarce. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical features of COVID19-diagnosed nonagenarians, as well as its clinical evolution and therapeutic response. Material and methods. Retrospective observational study of nonagenarians, admitted for COVID-19. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were registered, including previous polypharmacy. Blood analysis data and COVID-19-specific treatment were registered. Results. A total of 79 patients were included, with 50.6% (40 patients) of mortality. None of the comorbidities registered correlated with mortality, which was significantly higher among patients with moderate/complete functional dependence, compared to those mild-dependents/independents (59.5% vs 40.5%; p=0.015). Most prescribed drugs were hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine and azithromycin. Non-survivors presented higher counts of leukocytes and neutrophils, and higher lymphopenia. Conclusions. Nonagenarians with functional dependence presented higher mortality, irrespective of comorbidities or treatment received. Implementing an integral geriatric evaluation would enhance the implementation of personalized therapeutic strategies for nonagenarians.

AbstractObjectiveIn New Zealand (NZ), Fe deficiency (ID) is present in 14 % of children aged <2 years. Prevalence varies with ethnicity (NZ European 7 %, Pacific 17 %, Maori 20 %). We describe dietary Fe intake, how this varies with ethnicity and whether intake predicts Fe status.DesignA random sample of children aged 6–23 months. Usual Fe intake and dietary sources were estimated from 2 d weighed food records. Associations were determined between adequacy of Fe intake, as measured by the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), and ID.SubjectsSampling was stratified by ethnicity. Dietary and blood analysis data were available for 247 children.ResultsThe median daily Fe intake was 8·3 mg (age 6–11 months) and 6·3 mg (age 12–23 months). Breast milk and milk formulas (median 58 %; age 6–11 months), and cereals (41 %) and fruit and vegetables (17 %; age 12–23 months), were the predominant dietary sources of Fe. Fe intake was below the EAR for 25 % of the children. Not meeting the EAR increased the risk of ID for children aged 6–11 months (relative risk = 18·45, 95 % CI 3·24, 100·00) and 12–23 months (relative risk = 4·95, 95 % CI 1·59, 15·41). In comparison with NZ European, Pacific children had a greater daily Fe intake (P = 0·04) and obtained a larger proportion of Fe from meat and meat dishes (P = 0·02).ConclusionsA significant proportion of young NZ children have inadequate dietary Fe intake. This inadequate intake increases the risk of ID. Ethnic differences in Fe intake do not explain the increased risk of ID for Pacific children.

To identify changes in the everyday life of hepatitis subjects, we conducted a descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative analysis. Data from 12 hepatitis B and/or C patients were collected in October 2011 through a semi-structured interview and subjected to thematic content review. Most subjects have been diagnosed with hepatitis B. The diagnosis period ranged from less than 6 months to 12 years, and the diagnosis was made predominantly through the donation of blood. Interferon was used in only two patients. The findings were divided into two groups that define the interviewees' feelings and responses, as well as some lifestyle changes. It was concluded that the magnitude of phenomena about the disease process and life with hepatitis must be understood to health professionals.
