Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) has an anti-inflammatory effect that has been widely studied, especially the phenol components in the form of hydroxytyrosol and oleocanthal, which have anti-inflammatory properties. C - reactive protein is an acute inflammatory protein that is expressed in the presence of tissue damage. CRP levels themselves run parallel to the progression of malignancy, and elevated CRP is a predictor of poor prognosis. This study was conducted to determine the effect of EVOO on changes in CRP levels in colorectal cancer patients undergoing capecitabine chemotherapy. This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial. The subjects of the study were 30 colorectal cancer patients who would undergo capecitabine chemotherapy. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: the group receiving 30 ml of EVOO per day and the group receiving a placebo (corn oil). Plasma CRP levels will be assessed at the start of the study and after two cycles of chemotherapy. The median age in the EVOO group was 45.5 (28-58), and in the placebo group, 55 (26-59). Nineteen samples (33%) were late-stage cancer that had metastasized. The median BMI of research subjects was 19.7 (14.8-31.2), and the mean performance status score was 77.6 ± 5.6. CRP levels after treatment had no significant difference (p=0.218) in the EVOO and placebo groups. In the EVOO group, there was a decrease in serum CRP levels from 19.8 ± 19.4 to 14.8 ± 15, while in the placebo group from 25.8 ± 26 to 22 ± 20.5. EVOO can significantly reduce CRP levels, but in comparison with a placebo did not show a statistically significant difference.","PeriodicalId":162243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Health Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131055346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Management of medical records in collaboration with information technology can improve services effectively and efficiently in managing information data quickly and avoiding delays in service. Until now, the Dian Rapha Medika Toraja Clinic still uses manual medical record administration management with several existing obstacles. This causes health services that should be handled quickly cannot be carried out. Therefore, the researcher is interested and aims to design a website-based medical record administration management system at the Dian Rapha Medika Clinic Toraja. This study uses the waterfall model design method, which consists of 1) Needs Analysis, 2) System Design, 3) Implementation, and 4) Testing. The data collection techniques in this design are 1) Interview and 2) Observation. The results of this study indicate several advantages when using digitization of administrative services for medical colleagues at Dian Rapha Medika Toraja clinic, namely: 1) assisting in digitally documenting patient medical record data; 2) input of patient medical record data is easier and faster; 3) facilitate doctors in analyzing the patient's medical records; 4) searching for patient medical record data is easier and faster; 5) storage of medical record data is more concise and well-structured due to the integration of patient data and medical records so that it can accelerate administrative management at the clinic.","PeriodicalId":162243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Health Studies","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121921905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women of Maternity Services in the UK","authors":"M. Drake, Lucy C Wilson, Ruchit Desai, Benjamin Atherton","doi":"10.32996/jmhs.2022.3.4.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32996/jmhs.2022.3.4.5","url":null,"abstract":"There is little research into Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) women’s experiences of maternity care in the United Kingdom. However, with 28.2% of lives births in England and Wales and almost 50% of live births in Birmingham being to non-UK born women in 2016, it is an important area to investigate as maternity care is such a crucial part of pregnancy and labour. The aim of this review is to assess these experiences and determine if they can be improved. A literature search took place for guidelines, systematic reviews, and primary evidence that were conducted in the UK, including women of ethnic minorities. Guideline searches were conducted through NICE, GMC, and SIGN, systematic reviews through NICE, Cochrane, and MEDLINE, and primary evidence through EMBASE, BMJ, MEDLINE, and PLoS. Each finding was then appraised using the appropriate AGREE II, CASP, and AXIS appraisal tools. We summarised the literature findings in Table 4 of this review. One guideline was found detailing advice on the needs of refugee and asylum-seeking women, as well as those with difficulty reading and speaking English. Searches also found 36 systematic reviews, of which one was included, and 1,091 primary studies were found, of which four were included (two qualitative and two cross-sectional). Both the systematic review and the four primary evidence studies showed that BAME women’s experiences were generally more negative and engagement with maternity services was poor. Some of the themes which emerged were poor communication, lack of respect for the culture, and lack of support. One study, however, did show that more recent migrants described their overall experiences as much more positive than migrants who had been in the UK longer. This review suggests that BAME women generally perceive their maternity care more negatively than White women. Specific areas that were highlighted for requiring improvement include poor communication and cultural insensitivity despite current guidelines. However, these guidelines do not sufficiently target the BAME group; with more research, these guidelines could be improved and adhered to so BAME women can experience the same level of care as White women in the UK.","PeriodicalId":162243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Health Studies","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124963778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
