Pemeriksaan Gangguan Keseimbangan pada Usia Produktif dengan Menggunakan Fukuda Stepping di Dinas Lingkungan dan Kehutanan Yogyakarta

Balance limitations pose a significant concern for individuals of productive age. Productive age people who work in offices tend to have less physical activity. Lack of physical activity can affect the decrease in muscle strength, joints which results in a decrease in motion, steps tend to be short, feet cannot tread firmly and are easily unsteady. The decrease in motion function causes balance problems. If this continues to be allowed, it will cause the risk of falls and a decrease in the quality of life of workers in productive age. So it is important for office workers, especially workers at the Yogyakarta Environment and Forestry Service, to understand the importance of maintaining balance. One of the tests that can be used to assess balance is the Fukuda stepping test. This examination is carried out with the Fukuda test and vital sign checks to find out that this test is safe to be carried out by participants. The number of participants in this activity was 27 people consisting of men and women of productive age. This activity was held on Friday, October 13, 2023 at the Yogyakarta Environment and Forestry Service. After this test was carried out, it was found that 23 out of 27 office workers of productive age had balance disorders. After this test, the participants became more aware of the importance of maintaining balance and how to maintain it.

Efficacy of Full Dose and Sandwich Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer: A Literature Review

Introduction. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in productive-age women, and that needs to be addressed with systemic medication. There has been a big-scale success using adjuvant chemotherapy; however, the optimal method of chemotherapy administration has yet to be determined. Two methods have been introduced today: full dose and sandwich methods. In full dose, we administer chemotherapy before surgical intervention, whereas in the sandwich method, we administer chemotherapy before and after surgical intervention. In this literature review, we aim to observe the effectiveness of chemotherapy administration through both full-dose and sandwich methods. Method. In the initial phase, 51 articles were enrolled. We excluded duplicate studies, studies that did not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and studies with different outcome measures, resulting in two articles. The effectiveness of each method is based on three main outcome measures: pathological complete response (pCR), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Results. The pCR of the full dose method was higher (17.7%) when compared to the sandwich method (8.6%), p = 0.012. Overall survival in the full dose method is better, as observed from the hazard ratio (HR); the HR of the full dose method is 1.37, while the sandwich method is only 1.08. Regarding DFS, there is no significant effect difference between the two methods, p = 0.237. Conclusion. Neoadjuvant administration with the full-dose method shows higher overall survival, whereas the sandwich method exhibits comparable disease-free survival.

Determinants of self-rated health among highly educated Ukrainian women refugees in Czechia: analysis based on cross-sectional study in 2022

BackgroundRussia’s military aggression against Ukraine set in motion a large number of refugees. Considerable amount of them came and stayed in Czechia. Refugees represent special vulnerable individuals often affected by war physically and psychologically. Due to the national regulations not allowing most of Ukrainian men aged 18–60 to leave the country, nowadays Ukrainian forced migration is relatively young and strongly gendered. Evidence suggests the higher probability for searching the safe refuge abroad among Ukrainian women with small children as well as those with relatively higher economic and cultural capital. The aim of this study is to identify the structural features of systemic risks associated with war migration by examining determinants of self-rated health among forcibly displaced highly educated Ukrainian women of productive age residing in Czechia.MethodsData from one wave of the panel survey among Ukrainian refugees in Czechia conducted in September 2022 was used. Determinants of self-rated health including self-reported diseases and healthcare factors, lifestyle, human and social capital, economic factors, and migration characteristics were analysed using binary logistic regression.ResultsAbout 45% highly educated Ukrainian women refugees in Czechia assessed their health as poor. The poor self-rated health was mostly associated with the number of diseases and depressive symptoms, and by social capital and economic factors. Having four and more diseases (OR = 13.26; 95%-CI: 5.61–31.35), showing some severe depressive symptoms (OR = 7.20; 95%-CI: 3.95–13.13), experiencing difficulties to seek help from others (OR = 2.25; 95%-CI: 1.20–4.23), living alone in a household (OR = 2.67; 95%-CI: 1.37–5.27), having severe material deprivation (OR = 2.70; 95%-CI: 1.35–5.41) and coming originally from the eastern part of Ukraine (OR = 2.96; 95%-CI: 1.34–6.55) increased the chance of these refugees to assess their health as poor.ConclusionSocial and economic determinants such as lack of social contacts for seeking help and material deprivation were found to be crucial for self-rated health and should be tackled via migration policies. Further, qualitative research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the factors affecting subjectively assessed health.

Benefits of sea buckthorn juice consumption in women of productive age with hypercholesterolemia.

Sea buckthorn contains almost 200 nutrients and bioactive substances, including phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, minerals, alkaloids, chlorophyll derivatives, amines, organic acids, fatty acids and phytosterols. Human and animal studies suggest that sea buckthorn may have a variety of beneficial effects: cardioprotective, antiatherogenic, antioxidant, anticancer, immunomodulatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antiinflammatory. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of regular consumption of 100% sea buckthorn juice on the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in women of productive age with hypercholesterolemia. A clinical study involved 19 women with a mean age of 54.06 ±2.97 years who consumed 50 mL of sea buckthorn juice daily for 8 weeks. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters in blood serum were monitored before the start of sea buckthorn consumption and after 8 weeks of consumption. Body composition was determined using an multifrequency analyzer InBody720. Routine biochemical analyzes were performed by standard methods in an accredited laboratory of the University Hospital by automatic biochemical analyzer BioMajesty JCA-BM6010/C. Statistical comparison between individual measurements was performed using a paired t-test, using Statistica Cz version 10 (TIBCO Software, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA). We observed significant decrease of body weight, body mass index (P<0.05), body fat and visceral fat (P<0.001) after 8 weeks of consumption of 100% sea buckthorn juice. In this intervention study, we observed a significant decrease in low-density cholesterol (P˂0.05) and a significant increase in high-density cholesterol (P˂0.001). The level of triglycerides was similar at the end of the study (P>0.05). After the intervention, we observed decrease of orosomucoid, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M (P<0.001) and C-reactive protein (P<0.01). The obtained results support the hypothesis that the daily consumption of sea buckthorn juice for eight weeks could contribute to the beneficial effects of reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as the reduction of body and visceral fat, LDL-C, CRP and the increase of HDL-C.
