Abstract : Consumption of vegetables and fruit in obese adolescents is still very low. One of the efforts to improve it is by providing nutrition education. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of leaflets and short message service (SMS) in changing the pattern of vegetable and fruit consumption among obese adolescents. The research design was an experimental study with a non-randomized pre-post test design. This research was conducted for 5 months in which respondents were given intervention for 1 month. The method of selecting subjects using purposive sampling method, the number of samples of each group of 20 people. The Wilcoxon test was used with a significance level of p <0.05. The results showed that the mean score of the group educated with leaflets and SMS had a significant increase (p = 001 and p = 0.002). Where education with leaflets increases the knowledge score by 2.2 points and education via SMS increases the knowledge score by 2.35 points. Education with leaflets and SMS can significantly increase the frequency of vegetable consumption (p = 0.002 and p = 0.005). Where leaflets increased the frequency of vegetable consumption by 1.13 times per day and SMS increased the frequency of vegetable consumption by 1.37 times per day. Nutrition education using sms media can be an alternative to increase the consumption of vegetables and fruit in obese students. It is recommended to use other types of media to conduct nutrition education, such as social media which are now so familiar and loved by students.

Abstract : Measurement of ventricular size is important in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus, especially those who are being followed with CSF shunts. 56 computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from children aged 1 month to 1 year with hydrocephalus (HC), before and after treatment, were measured. Before measurement of thalamo-occipital distance (TOD) was performed only by ultrasound. We suggest implementation of TOD to other imaging modalities such as CT and MRI. Measurements were made in 56 patients with HC and 30 healthy children to determine the normal values and classify its severity. TOD was compared with Evans index and head circumference. We used the Pearson's correlation coefficients and correlations were further differentiated using a t-test statistic. The normal TOD is less than 3 cm. Distance between 3.0-3.7 cm is considered as mild, 3,71-4.4 cm moderate, more than 4,41 cm as severe degree of HC. The TOD measurement is a simple method of evaluating ventricular size in pediatric HC patients. The TOD showed high sensitivity (96%) and specificity (93%) in the diagnosis of HC in children.

Abstract : Inguinal hernia is a common surgical disease. Giant inguinoscrotal hernias are more unusual and impose significant impact on quality of life including difficulty with mobility, scrotal skin ulceration and bowel obstruction. Besides it is more challenging in terms of surgical management. Diagnosis of giant inguinoscrotal hernia is straight forward on clinical examination. Nevertheless, with the advent of CT scan, pre-operative contrast-enhanced CT scan is useful for ascertaining the hernia contents, its configuration and measuring the neck of hernia. We report a case of a patient with extremely huge irreducible right giant inguinoscrotal hernias.

Abstract : The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide including Indonesia. The major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is cardiovascular disease (CVD). The underlying pathophysiology that increases CVD risk in T2DM is atherosclerosis. Arterial stiffness is associated with atherosclerosis through vascular damage, aging, and endothelial dysfunction. Besides insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, fibrinogen as a marker inflammation and procoagulant state is also an important risk factor in progressing atherosclerosis. We investigated the correlation between fibrinogen as an inflammatory and risk factors of CVD with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) as a non-invasive method represent arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This study was an observational analytic cross-sectional study involved 40 patients with T2DM in Diabetes Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo general hospital, a tertiary referral hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. We performed interviews, physical examination, and collected laboratory data including fasting and postprandial glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, and fibrinogen level. We measured arterial stiffness by calculating the mean of right and left baPWV. The average fibrinogen level in this study was 456.75 ± 142.60 mg/dL and the mean of baPWV was 16.61 ± 2.53 m/s. Patients with HbA1c > 8% had higher fibrinogen levels than patients with HbA1c  8%. There was a positive correlation between fibrinogen level and arterial stiffness in T2DM patients in a tertiary referral hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Abstract : Musculoskeletal pain is a major problem among adults and workers at a higher rate these days. It may be severe enough to interfere with your day-to-day life. The purpose of the study to assess the effectiveness of phonophoresis among patients with musculoskeletal pain. A quasi-experimental design was conducted on 41 patients with musculoskeletal pain. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire with three parts: First part Demographic data, the second part was the characteristics of pain: location of pain, type of pain, pain frequency and pain severity by a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and The third part was the ultrasound parameters selected by the physiotherapist. An independent t-test and ANOVA was used to determine the effectiveness of Phonophoresis on musculoskeletal pain between patients The research results showed that ultrasound phonophoresis had a positive influence on pain and function in patients with moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain. The treatment was continued for 6 consecutive sessions. However, the improvement was significantly greater in the first three sessions. The current study concluded that Ultrasound and Phonophoresis both are beneficial for reducing pain with patients who have musculoskeletal pain.
