Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological problem and is the most frequently reported chief complaint in women. Dysmenorrhea is defined as cramping in the lower abdomen that occurs before or during menstruation. The use of plastic as food and beverage packaging is still a commonly used in the community. Plastic contains several compounds, including phthalates and bisphenol-A (BPA) which have potential as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Menstruation and dysmenorrhea are closely related to hormonal system disorders. This study aims to analyze the relationship between food plastic exposure and the incidence of dysmenorrhea among adolescents. Subjects and Method: The design in this study is observational analytic with a cohort approach. This study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga with a population of midwifery students. The sampling technique used was total sampling with a total of 149 subjects. The dependent variable was. dysmenorrhea. The independent variable was food plastic exposure. The instruments used were a visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire and a food plastic exposure questionnaire. The data collection was taken in 2 menstrual cycles. Data were analyzed by chisquare test. Results: The results showed that 71.8% of the subjects experienced moderate level of exposure to food plastic. Dysmenorrhea reported that 128 subjects (86%) had dysmenorrhea. In VAS assessment, most of the subjects which was 43% experienced mild pain. This study showed that there was a relationship between exposure to plastic food and the incidence of dysmenorrhea in adolescents (p= 0.049). Conclusion: There is a relationship between exposure to plastic food and the incidence of dysmenorrhea in adolescents.

According to the data obtained, the practice of FGM/C is mostly carried out by midwives, while in the competency standard of midwives this practice is not taught in the midwifery education curriculum. This study aims to determine the techniques used by midwives in practicing FGM/C and the midwife's view of the government's role regarding this practice in the Tangerang City Health Center Work Area. This study used a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. The technique used is purposive sampling with a total of 7 respondents. The most commonly used FGM/C technique was to clean the genitals of baby girls with gauze and betadine or water. From the midwife's opinion, the government's role is still lacking in following up on the ban on FGM/C practices. The conclusion is The FGM/C technique used by midwives is to clean and use a needle in the genital area of a baby girl without any injury, however the role of the government must still be carried out because it is feared that there are people who practice this FGM/C practice which is more extreme and dangerous for baby girls.

Clinical examination, anatomical pathology testing, CT, and MRI are required to confirm the meningioma diagnosis. Surgery is the therapy of choice for meningiomas. Understanding factors affecting the outcome of meningioma surgery is critical to predicting the outcome of meningioma surgery. Methods: A retrospective analytic method was conducted in this study, which included meningioma patients who underwent surgery at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital between January 2014 and December 2020. The study incorporated secondary data in the form of medical records. Data collection was followed by binomial logistic regression analysis using SPSS IBM 25. Results: A total of 440 samples of patients with meningiomas were obtained through medical records. Post-operative hematoma (2.5%), postoperative infection (3.0%), neurologic deterioration (3.9%), and 30-day mortality (2.3%) were the postoperative complications reported. Emergency surgery was found to be a significant predictor of postoperative hematoma (p=0.025; OR=4.539; 95% CI: 1.211-Open Peer Review Approval Status AWAITING PEER REVIEW Any reports and responses or comments on the article can be found at the end of the article.

This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the administration routes of stem cell treatment for ischemic stroke. A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was undertaken using the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. A total of 21 publications on stem cell therapy for ischemic stroke were included. Efficacy outcomes were measured using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and the Barthel index (BI). Intracerebral administration showed a better outcome than other routes, but a greater number of adverse events followed due to its invasiveness. Adverse events were shown to be related to the natur...

Neuroinflammation and neuronal injury have been associated with the incidence of POCD. Some biomarkers of brain damage including neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100B protein have been widely studied; however, their association with the incidence of POCD is still controversial. This study aimed to assess the correlation of serum NSE and S100B levels with the incidence of POCD among geriatric patients receiving general anesthesia. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted among geriatric patients receiving general anesthesia at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from July to October 2022. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) INA instrument was used to assess POCD, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify the levels of serum NSE and S100B.

Menopause symptoms include somatic symptoms, psychological symptoms, and urogenital symptoms. Menopause symptoms and their severity vary from person to person due to numerous factors, one of which is a person's lifestyle. Lifestyle aspects related to menopausal symptoms and observed in this study include dietary habits, physical activity, stress levels, and sleep habits. This research examined at the correlation between lifestyle and symptoms in postmenopausal women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a random sampling technique in which 70 postmenopausal women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from 3 communities in Batam, Makassar and Surabaya. The variables observed included menopausal symptoms as measured by the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) instrument and lifestyle as measured by the Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire (SLIQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instruments. Results: There was a strong correlation between lifestyle and menopausal symptoms (p=0.007), with a unidirectional and adequate relationship between the two variables (r=0.318). However, there is no significant relationship between sleep quality and menopausal symptoms (p=0.150), with a unidirectional and very weak relationship between the two variables. Conclusion: Postmenopausal women may experience fewer symptoms the healthier their lifestyle choices, but there is no solid evidence linking poor sleep to menopausal symptoms.
