Abstract : Ankle arch abnormalities are common in orthopaedics. Left untreated it may result in problems like gait disturbances. Thus, it requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. This can be achieved by assessment of the foot using X-rays by known parameters. However, there is a lack of Indian studies regarding the same. The objective of this study is to formulate standardised norms for the measurement of ankle arch in the South Indian population. 127 participants aged 18-50 years with apparently normal feet were selected. They were evaluated taking X-rays in a weight bearing position. The medial longitudinal arch was assessed using the lateral talocalcaneal angle, calcaneal inclination (CIA), lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, calcaneo-first metatarsal angle (C1MA), navicular index {Navicular Index(NI)=arch length/navicular height(NH)}. Transverse arch assessment was done using. the naviculo-metatarsal angle (NM angle), first-fifth intermetatarsal angle (M1 M5 angle). Measurements were made using IC Measure software. For medial longitudinal arch the mean talocalcaneal angle, CIA, talo-first metatarsal angle and C1MA is 47.10±7.70; 26.83±4.56; 11.24±1.78; 134.56±7.35 degrees, respectively. Mean arch length is 3.83±0.85cm and mean NH of 1.12±0.28cm with a mean NI of 3.48±0.50. In transverse arch mean values of NM angle and M1M5 angle are 101.57±4.53 and 26.22±2.94 degrees, respectively. There was no significant difference in values among males and females. Mean values of all arch parameters except NH are comparable to previous studies. Mean NH is lesser than the previously done studies among Caucasian, Nigerian and Asian populations. Among previously done Indian studies our study showed the prevalence of a flatter medial longitudinal arch with no significant gender related variances..

Abstract : Gentamicin is an antibiotic with a narrow therapeutic index, therefore to determine the dosage must be individualized to made concentration of drug in the blood reaches the level of effectiveness and does not cause toxicity and prevents drug resistance. This research aims to see the accuracy of gentamicin concentration from the doses given. This type of research is a descriptive observational study with a retrospective approach to 42 medical record samples that received gentamicin using purposive sampling technique in RSUD Arifin Achmad. The results of the study showed that the percentage of accuracy of the Cssave concentration of 97.62% indicated that the dose given was in the therapeutic range and 2.38% below the therapeutic range. Accuracy of concentration based on Cssmax, exact concentration of 14.28%, concentration of less than 82.86% and excess concentration of 2.86%. The accuracy of the Cssmin concentration is 100% the right concentration. So can be concluded that the dose of gentamicin given to pediatric patients is not yet reached its concentration in providing effectiveness, because dose given to the patient was not based on calculation of individual doses..

Abstract : Indonesia is one of countries with the largest number of new tuberculosis (TB) cases in the world, ranking 2nd out of 30 countries after India which has a high burden for TB cases in 2017. The problem encountered in TB treatment is the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to antituberculosis’s drugs. This study aims to determine the correlation between drug consumption adherence with MDR TB cases and to determine the risk factors (patient adherence in taking medication) on MDR TB cases. This research is a type of observational study with a descriptive analytic method and a case control study design using a questionnaire filled out by TB and MDR TB patients at community public health in Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Indonesia. Total sampling technique was used for collecting data in the case group, whereas the data from the control group were collected using purposive sampling technique. There were 36 patients which were appointed as sample in this study, consisted of 18 TB patients and 18 MDR TB patients. The results revealed that statistical tests obtained p-value <0.05, namely 0.003 with an OR value of 9.1 (95% CI 1.99-41.44). It means that there is a significant relationship between adherence to drug consumption with the incidence of MDR TB. Patients who do not adhere to drug consumption have 9.1 times risk of suffering from MDR TB compared to patients who are adhere to drug consumption..

Abstract : The diagnosis of heart failure is associated with many comorbid psychological distress factors such as depression, anxiety, and hostility that significantly affect patients’ health outcomes and prognosis. This study aims to investigate if the combined effect of comorbid psychological distress factors is a predictors of the cardiac emergency visits, re-hospitalization, and mortality and among adult heart failure patients. A sample of 419 of patients with heart failure were recruited. Data collected in relation to Depression, anxiety, and hostility. Event-free survival was defined as the time to the first event. Cox proportional hazards hierarchal regressions were constructed to determine the predictors of free survival in heart failure patients. The analysis showed that in first block, comorbidity and New York Heart Association class were the only significant variables, while in the second block, none of the variables was significant except depression, comorbidity and New York Heart Association. In the final model, the interaction between depression, anxiety, and hostility was not significant. The combined effect of depression, anxiety, and hostility were not significant predictor of free survival among patients with heart failure. Nevertheless, depression was the only factor that predicts free survival among patients with heart failure..

Abstract : Hypertension presents a distinctive problem in treatment. One of the major contributing factors to poor control of blood pressure is patient adherence. In this study, we investigated adherence in elderly hypertensive patients who had difficulty accessing medicines due to living far from the health care center about age and the duration of illness. It was a descriptive exploratory. Samples of this study were elderly hypertensive patients who lived far from the healthcare center in several districts in Pekanbaru in the Province of Riau, Indonesia. Data was collected using MGL (Morisky, Green, and Levins) adherence scale. A total of 110 respondents, divided into four groups (middle age, 45-59; elderly, 60-74; old, 75-90; and very old, >90 years old). Adherence measurement showed that 41 (37.27%) patients had medium adherence, and 69 (62.73%) patients had low adherence to their antihypertensive. The patients with the highest rate of low adherence were the elderly (35, 31.82%) with duration of illness of 1-5 years (30, 27.27%). Based on the Gamma test, the correlation was weak, and the direction is negative (-0.259), and there is no significant relationship between age groups, and medication adherence (p=0.120). The correlation between duration of illness with adherence was very weak (-0.071) with negative direction, and there is no significant relationship between duration of illness and medication adherence (p=0.7). Most of the respondents had low medication adherence. There was a weak correlation; between age group with medication adherence, and there is a very weak correlation between duration of illness with medication adherence..
