This study aims to analyze the influence of demographic factors and metabolic disease on heart disease. Methode : It is quantitative research with cross-sectional design. The data came from the results of the 2018 Basic Health Research survey. Data analysis uses logistic regression. The population was all households in Indonesia. The sample was population aged 15 years. Results : Community characteristics and metabolic disease factors significantly affected the P value of the Wald’s test (Sig) < 0.05. Based on the value of Nagelkerke R Square (Pseudo R-Square), demographic factors have an influence of 3% and metabolic disease factors have an influence of 6% on heart disease. Conclusion : Community characteristics and metabolic disease factors have a significant effect on heart disease. Therefore, it is necessary for health workers to socialize government policies regarding guidelines for preventing heart and blood vessel disease correctly and comprehensively.","PeriodicalId":18400,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Update","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86870304","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}

Aim of study: we compare the analgesic effect of bupivacaine by caudal block root and acetaminophen suppository on postoperative pain in pediatric inguinal hernial repair surgery. Patient and Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled trail of 40 children, aged between (1-7 years), ASA grade I-II, scheduled for elective day case unilateral inguinal surgery. For all the patients included in this study, a standardized controlled anesthetic protocol was used. Preoperatively the patients were randomized into two groups according to the operation waiting lists. group 1 included (18) patients who received single shot caudal block with (1ml/kg) of 25% bupivacaine preoperatively after induction of anesthesia by the anesthetist, group 2 included (22) patients who received (15-20 mg/kg) acetaminophen suppository. Results: The number of patients (who had first three hours free of pain); was significantly higher in the Caudal group than those of the other group. Patients of the Caudal group; needed significantly a longer duration of time for the first analgesic drug. Patients of the Caudal group; had significantly a lower (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale) in (1/2, 1, and 2 hours) time intervals of the study. Conclusion: Caudal anesthesia with bupivacaine has better painless period postoperatively. Keywards: Bupivacaine, Anesthesia, Caudal, Analgesia, Acetaminophen Suppository.","PeriodicalId":18400,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Update","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82566601","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}

Several studies are needed to determine biomarkers to identify the severity of COVID-19. Objective: to analyze the correlation between Neutrophil to lymphocyte rate (NLR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), D-dimer, dan Procalcitonin (PCT) on the severity of COVID-19. Method: A retrospective case-control study was done in our institution using data from June 2020 to March 2021. Data collected were serum NLR, CRP, d-dimer and PCT. Data were analysed using SPSS. Participants were divided into 2 groups, severe COVID-19 as case and mild to moderate as control group. The data collection was carried out in June 2020 – March 2021, included NLR, CRP, D-dimer, and PCT in patient serum. Data analysis using Chi-Square test and logistic regression with p < 0.05. Result: The NLR value of participants in case group is 11.4 ± 9.7 and in control group is 8.2 ± 8.5 (95% CI 1.081 – 4.641;p = 0.023). The PCT value of participants in case group was 10.3 ± 75.4 and in control group was 6.9 ± 41.4 (95% CI 1.495 – 6.908;p < 0.001). CRP values in case group (123.7 ± 108.9) were higher than control group (61.3 ± 60.8;95% CI 1.181 – 5.063;p < 0.001). Meanwhile, the value of D-dimer participants in case group was 3.5 ± 3.7 and control group was 2.7 ± 4.6 (95% CI 0.604 – 2.958;p = 0.473). Conclusion: increased values of NLR, CRP, and D-dimer are risk factors for severe COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":18400,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Update","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82850319","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}
