The Effectiveness of Education with Animated Videos on Knowledge of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Postural Habits in Adolescents

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disorders that occur in muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. Complaints of MSDs often occur in adolescent school-age individuals, thus requiring health education through animated video media regarding early prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic attitudes. This study aims to identify the influence of using animated videos on the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits and to analyze the relationship between MSDs knowledge and postural habits. This research used a Quasi-Experimental method with a pretest-posttest approach with a control group. The convenience sampling technique was used with 75 samples. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis, namely with difference and cross-tabulation tests. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were female, 16 years old, with normal body mass index (BMI), parents' education level of high school, and income above the minimum wage. There were differences in the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits in the intervention and control groups, with obtained values of p = 0.006 and p = 0.016 (p < α, α = 0.05). There was a relationship between the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits, with an obtained value of p = 0.013 (p < α, α = 0.05). Thus, it is concluded that the provision of animated videos significantly influences knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits

The effectiveness of Audiovisual Education and Spiritual Support Intervention on Anxiety Reduction and Hemodynamic Parameter Stabilization in Pre-Esophago Gastro Duodenoscopy (EGD) Patients: A Pre-Intervention Study

Background: Pre-procedural anxiety in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) patients can negatively impact cooperation and physiological stability, increasing procedural risks. This study evaluated the AVOGADO intervention, integrating audiovisual education and spiritual support, to reduce anxiety and stabilize hemodynamic parameters. Methods: A Pre-Intervention Study was conducted on a 45-year-old male with chronic dyspepsia and moderate-to-severe anxiety (HAM-A > 25). The intervention was administered two days prior to the procedure. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), and hemodynamic parameters, including blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, were measured at four time points: three days, two days, one day before, and on the day of the procedure. Result: Anxiety decreased significantly, with HAM-A scores dropping from 26 (moderate-to-severe) to 10 (mild). Hemodynamic parameters improved, with blood pressure reduced from 150/90 mmHg to 130/82 mmHg and heart rate from 98 bpm to 80 bpm. Oxygen saturation remained stable. Conclusion: The AVOGADO intervention effectively reduced anxiety and improved physiological stability in a pre-EGD patient. This simple, holistic approach offers promise for broader application in reducing anxiety in medical procedures. Further research with larger samples is recommended

Prognostic model to predict postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery based on a national prospective observational cohort study.

Background: Acute illness, existing co-morbidities and surgical stress response can all contribute to postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. The aim of this study was prospectively to develop a pragmatic prognostic model to stratify patients according to risk of developing AKI after major gastrointestinal surgery. Methods: This prospective multicentre cohort study included consecutive adults undergoing elective or emergency gastrointestinal resection, liver resection or stoma reversal in 2-week blocks over a continuous 3-month period. The primary outcome was the rate of AKI within 7 days of surgery. Bootstrap stability was used to select clinically plausible risk factors into the model. Internal model validation was carried out by bootstrap validation. Results: A total of 4544 patients were included across 173 centres in the UK and Ireland. The overall rate of AKI was 14·2 per cent (646 of 4544) and the 30-day mortality rate was 1·8 per cent (84 of 4544). Stage 1 AKI was significantly associated with 30-day mortality (unadjusted odds ratio 7·61, 95 per cent c.i. 4·49 to 12·90; P < 0·001), with increasing odds of death with each AKI stage. Six variables were selected for inclusion in the prognostic model: age, sex, ASA grade, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, planned open surgery and preoperative use of either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. Internal validation demonstrated good model discrimination (c-statistic 0·65). Discussion: Following major gastrointestinal surgery, AKI occurred in one in seven patients. This preoperative prognostic model identified patients at high risk of postoperative AKI. Validation in an independent data set is required to ensure generalizability

Patterns of alcohol drinking and its association with obesity: data from the third national health and nutrition examination survey, 1988–1994

BACKGROUND: Recent reports suggest that alcohol use may have a protective effect on obesity. This study explores association between obesity and alcohol consumption in the non-smoking U.S. adult population. METHODS: We analyzed data on a total of 8,236 respondents who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Body mass index (weight-kg/height-m(2)) was derived from measured height and weight data and categorized into: normal weight, overweight, and obese. Alcohol consumption was measured using following measures: history of drinking, binge drinking, quantity of drinks/day, frequency of drinking, and average volume of drinks/week. RESULTS: Mean body mass index in this sample of non-smokers was 26.4 (95% CI: 26.1, 26.7). Approximately 46% of respondents were classified as current drinkers. Current drinkers had lower odds of obesity (Adjusted odds ratio = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.55, 0.97) as compared to non-drinkers. The odds of overweight and obesity were significantly greater among binge drinkers and those consuming four or more drinks/day. However, those who reported drinking one or two drinks per day had 0.46 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.62) and 0.59 (95% CI: 0.41, 0.86) times the odds of obesity, respectively. Similarly, the odds of obesity were significantly lower among those who reported drinking frequently and consuming less than five drinks per week. The association between overweight and other alcohol measures was less pronounced. CONCLUSION: The results suggest further exploring the possible role of moderate alcohol drinking in controlling body weight in adults

Prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of tobacco use among adults in Pakistan: findings of a nationwide survey conducted in 2012.

BACKGROUND: Smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable mortality. The World Health Organization recommends that countries should monitor tobacco use regularly. In Pakistan, the last national study on smoking in the general population was conducted in 2002 to 2003. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative sample of men and women living in rural and urban areas of four main provinces of Pakistan from March through April 2012. Face-to-face in-house interviews were undertaken using a pre-tested structured questionnaire that asked about smoking and other forms of tobacco use. Multistage stratified random area probability sampling was used. To determine the national prevalence of tobacco use, the sample was weighted to correspond to rural-urban population proportions in each of the four provinces as in the 1998 census conducted by Pakistan's Population Census Organization. Associations between sociodemographic variables and tobacco use were investigated using multivariable robust regression. RESULTS: Out of 2,644 respondents (1,354 men and 1,290 women), 354 men and 4 women reported being current cigarette smokers. The weighted prevalence of current cigarette smoking was 15.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 11.2, 19.3) overall, 26.6% (95% CI: 19.1, 34.1) among males, and 0.4% (95% CI: -0.2, 1.0) among females. Among females, 1.8% (95% CI: 0.4, 3.1) used any smoked tobacco and 4.6% (95% CI: 1.8, 7.4) used any smokeless tobacco daily or on some days of the week. Among males, odds of current cigarette smoking decreased with increasing level of education (OR = 0.75; 95% CI: 0.68, 0.84) and increased with having a father who used tobacco (OR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.39, 3.22) after adjusting for other sociodemographic characteristics. Lower household income was associated with current cigarette smoking among rural males only (odds ratio [OR] = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.48, 0.92 per category increase in monthly household income). CONCLUSION: A large proportion of males smoked cigarettes. Cigarette use was negligible among females, but they used other forms of tobacco. Low education was a determinant of cigarette smoking among males irrespective of socioeconomic status and area of residence. Tobacco control campaigns should target uneducated and rural poor men and monitor all forms of tobacco used by the population

SOCIAL-POLITICAL CONDITIONS AFTER THE BONGAYA TREATY OF 1667; ISLAMIC POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE

This article aimed to describe the socio-political conditions after the Bongaya Treaty of 1667. This study employed the historical research method (library research). The researcher applied several approaches, namely the historical approach, religious approach, anthropological approach, and sociological approach. The Makassar War is a momentum for change from all aspects, not only changes from the political aspect but also the social, cultural and economic aspects that greatly tormented the people of Gowa. As a King, Sultan Hasanudin was responsible for the fate of the royal people of Gowa, which was getting sad. Sultan Hasanudin had to consider this even though he wanted to continue to fight. Sultan Hasanudin really understood the suffering of the people of the Kingdom of Gowa. Due to these considerations, the war lasted approximately four years, starting from 1666-1669 and ending with the Bungaya Treaty, which consisted of 30 articles. The treaty affected all aspects of Gowa community life, not only in terms of political factors but also the existence of Muslims. Since then, the power and influence of the Netherlands in East Indonesia began to be embedded towards serious colonialism. Sultan Hasanuddin, who dashed to defend his country until the last second has controlled the Kingdom of Gowa for 16 years; namely 1653-1669 and died in Gowa on June 12, 1670.
