THE CORRELATION AMONG LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ERGONOMIC POSITION AND LOW BACK PAIN COMPLAINTS IN INPATIENT NURSES

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a collection of several clinical symptoms that are marked by pain or discomfort in the lower back, which may or may not extend to the legs. Incorrect ergonomics is the primary factor contributing to lower back pain (LBP) among nurses. The objective of this study was to establish a correlation between the extent of ergonomics knowledge and the occurrence of lower back pain (LBP) complaints among nurses who work with hospitalised patients. This study employed a correlational quantitative design, utilising a cross-sectional technique. The sample size for this study consisted of 158 nurses working in the inpatient unit of a private hospital in Indonesia. The sampling technique employed was a total sampling, resulting in a sample size of 158 nurses. The research employed questionnaires that were both valid and trustworthy. The questionnaires assessing knowledge of ergonomics were devised by Bunga et al. (2019), whilst the questionnaire pertaining to low back pain was formulated by Deria (2021). The findings of the Pearson chi-square statistical test indicated a p-value of 0.105, suggesting that there was no statistically significant association between the level of knowledge of ergonomics postures and complaints of low back pain among inpatient nurses. Inpatient nurses have the ability to discover and implement ergonomic postures in their regular tasks. Further research could be undertaken on the elements that can induce low back discomfort.

CASE STUDY: APPLICATION OF ENDORPHINE MASSAGE IN REDUCING BACK PAIN SCALE IN THIRD TRIMESTER PREGNANT WOMEN

Pregnancy is a meaningful experience with all the changes, both physical and psychological. One of the uncomfortable changes that occur in the third trimester is lower back pain. Low back pain can have a negative impact on the quality of life of pregnant women because it interferes with daily physical activities. In addition, back pain in pregnant women also has an impact on reducing the quality of sleep of the mother which can reduce the quality of life of the mother and fetus.

After Endorphine massage the results of the pain scale became 4. This shows that giving Endorphine massage can reduce complaints of back pain in third trimester pregnant women.

Faktor- Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Keluhan Low Back Pain (LBP) Pada Nelayan Di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Kota Kendari Tahun 2023

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a health problem that causes restrictions on activities and also absence from work. Fishermen are people whose livelihood is fishing whose activities can place additional load on the muscles of the lower back and spine, which can cause stress and excess strain on the lower back region. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), musculoskeletal disorders in the world number 1,71 billion and low back pain is the 3rd health problem in the world. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors associated with complaints of low back pain in fishermen at Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Kota Kendari in 2023. This study used a cross sectional study approach with a total sample of 85 people taken using accidental sampling techniques. The analysis carried out includes univariate analysis and bivariate usses the Chi-Square method. The results showed a relationship between age and LBP complaints (p-value = 0.020), and between period of work and LBP complaints (p-value = 0.049), but there was no relationship between length of work and LBP complaints (p-value = 0.417) and smoking habits and LBP complaints (p-value = 0.344).

Brucellar arthritis and sacroiliitis: an 8-year retrospective comparative analysis of demographic, clinical, and paraclinical features.

Brucellosis is a common global zoonotic disease with a wide range of complex and nonspecific clinical manifestations that may lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Osteoarticular involvement is the most common complaint in brucellosis. This present study aims to describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics and treatment of brucellosis patients with arthritis and sacroiliitis. This retrospective descriptive study was performed on patients presenting to a teaching hospital in Kermanshah, Iran with a diagnosis of brucellosis from 2011 to 2019. The demographic and clinical characteristics, complications, laboratory findings, and treatment were recorded during the study period. Then, the difference in the collected data was investigated between brucellosis patients with and without arthritis or sacroiliitis. Of 425 patients studied, 130 (30.58%) had osteoarticular involvement. Among them, 41 (9.64%) and 58 (13.6%) patients were diagnosed with arthritis and sacroiliitis, respectively. There were no significant demographic differences between patients with and without brucellar arthritis or sacroiliitis (p > 0.05). The patients with Brucella arthritis had a significantly higher frequency of arthralgia and radiculopathy (p ⩽ 0.05). Sacroiliitis was significantly more common in patients with arthralgia, neck pain, and low back pain, positive flexion-abduction-external rotation (FABER) test, radiculopathy, and vertebral tenderness compared to patients without sacroiliitis (p ⩽ 0.05), while fever and headache were significantly more common in patients without sacroiliitis (p ⩽ 0.05). The median Wright and 2-Mercapto Ethanol titers were higher in brucellosis patients with arthritis or sacroiliitis versus patients without arthritis or sacroiliitis, but the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). Synovial fluid had been analyzed in 20 cases. The mean white blood cell count, glucose, and protein level were 3461 ± 2.70 cells/mm3, 58.54 ± 31.43 mg/dL, and 8.6 ± 11.85 g/dL, respectively. In 80% of the subjects, neutrophil cells were predominant. There were no significant laboratory differences between patients with and without brucellar arthritis or sacroiliitis, except for a higher median platelet count in patients with arthritis and higher median levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in patients with sacroiliitis. Most cases of arthritis and sacroiliitis were diagnosed with ultrasound (31.8%) and FABER test (79.3%), respectively. Arthritis and sacroiliitis were the two most important and common manifestations of brucellar osteoarthritis with a frequency of 9.64% and 13.6%, respectively. Any complaints of low back pain and radiculopathy as well as the presence of spondylitis in patients should raise suspicion of sacroiliitis. High levels of AST and ALP and a high platelet count may be associated with brucellar sacroiliitis and arthritis, respectively. The use of imaging methods such as MRI and bone scan seems necessary for the diagnosis of sacroiliitis.

Intramedullary mature teratoma in an adult: A case report

Abstract Intraspinal mature teratomas rarely occur in adults. There is little published information about the diagnosis and prognosis of adult-onset intradural spinal teratoma due to its rarity. We describe a rare case of adult intramedullary mature teratoma. A 36-year-old woman presented with complaint of a long-standing low back pain accompanied by progressive numbness of the lower extremities for a month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intramedullary tumor extending between T11 and L3. Gross excision of mass was performed with no complications. Patient symptoms improved over time and she is still under follow-up. Intramedullary mature teratoma in adults is rare but reports suggest an increase in recent years. These tumors manifest themselves based on their location within the spinal cord and the affected surrounding nerve roots. MRI is the most helpful imaging modality. But definitive diagnosis is accomplished by histopathological examination. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment. For pure mature teratomas, gross resection is comparable with radical resection. In general, prognosis for these tumors is good, with most patients showing improved neurological status or stability after resection.

Isolated spinal Intramedullary Neurocysticercosis: A rare case report and review of literature

Neurocysticercosis is Taenia solium infection of the central nervous system and meninges. Although highly uncommon, spinal cysticercosis frequently occurs in conjunction with intracranial cysticercosis. The least frequent are often those involving the intramedullary. We report a 50-year-old male patient who presented with complaints of lower back pain with a burning sensation over bilateral thighs. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of his dorsal spine revealed a relatively well-defined lobulated lesion at T11 vertebral level. Intramedullary cysticercosis is a challenge to diagnose, and neurocysticercosis should also be considered in cases of intramedullary space-occupying lesion.

Lomber spondilolistezis saptanan hastaların radyolojik ve klinik verilerinin karşılaştırılması

Background: Spondylolisthesis is a deformity in which the upper segment is displaced anteriorly or posteriorly in the spine relative to the lower segment. In this pathology, which often causes instability, surgical treatment may be required. Also, patient’s radiological images should be evaluated carefully before treatment. We aimed to analyze clinical and radiological data with spinopelvic angles of the lumbar spondylolisthesis patients in our research.
 
 Material Method: 6593 patients who applied to the neurosurgery outpatient clinic with complaints of low back pain between January 2020 - December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The radiological findings of patients with spondylolisthesis, whose lumbar MRI and lumbar CT were obtained appropriately along with X-ray were evaluated in detail. Age, gender, listhesis level and degree, Cobb angle, pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sacral slope angle, Modic degeneration, vacuum phenomenon, annulus rupture, schmorl nodule, facet hypertrophy, osteophyte, maximum AP central canal diameter and joint lysis has been examined in these patient tests. The relationships of these data with each other were evaluated statistically.
 
 Results: 58 female and 5 male patients were found to be eligible for the study. Mean age was 59 (min 22, max 81). Grade 1 listhesis was detected in 52 of the patients. Listhesis was observed at the level of L5-S1 in 31 patients, L4-L5 in 24 patients and L3-L4 in 8 patients. A direct correlation was found between age with vacuum phenomenon, osteophyte, presence of L5-S1 listesis and lysis. Similar correlation was between pelvic incidence with sacral slop angle, facet hypertrophy and modic type 2 degeneration. Also, there was a direct correlation between pelvic incidence with pelvic tilt; between facet hypertrophy with vacuum phenomenon and lysis; ligamentum hypertrophy with vacuum phenomenon; and facet hypertrophy with lower level listesis (p 0.05).
 
 Discussion and Conclusion: Spondylolisthesis is an important problem that requires treatment in spine surgery. Radiologically determined parameters can give important findings about the severity of this pathology. These findings should be taken into consideration in the treatment of spondylolisthesis.
