Long COVID is characterized by one or more symptoms experienced by individuals prior to a COVID-19 infection that last for ≥2 months, and its risk factors remain unclear. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with long COVID among patients admitted between June 1, 2020, and October 31, 2023, at three referral COVID-19 hospitals in Pa...

Introduction: In the context of the Asian region, it's crucial to note that Indonesia, a country with the second-highest COVID-19 death toll and the highest mortality rate, serves as the backdrop for this study. The focus is on the elderly population, which has shown a tendency for prolonged recovery, increased severity, hospitalization, and mortal...

Atherosclerosis, a chronic systemic inflammatory process, is the leading cause of disease, disability, and mortality worldwide. While current management approaches can temporarily alleviate the problem, they do not address the root cause. This paper presents a novel approach, demonstrating that adopting a whole food plant-based diet (PBD) can reduc...

Despite the advances in stent design, coating drugs, polymers, the use of intravascular imaging, special devices (such as intravascular lithotripsy, ultra-high-pressure non-compliant balloons, and drug-coated balloons), and improved operator skills and techniques, the problem of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and stent thrombosis (ST) remains a challeng...

The potential benefits of plant-based interventions in reducing the incidence and lessening the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 have yet to be widely recognized. However, our groundbreaking research suggests that these interventions could be effective. In a recent publication, we utilized plant-based diets (PBDs) and supplements for 3470 high-r...

The persistent problem of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and stent thrombosis (ST) remains a significant challenge for interventional cardiologists, despite the progress made in stent design, coating drugs, polymers, the use of intravascular imaging, special devices (such as intravascular lithotripsy, ultra-high-pressure non-compliant balloons, and drug...

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of plant-based diets (PBDs) and supplement interventions in mitigating the severity and mortality of high-risk COVID-19 patients. Observational research suggests that a diet high in plant-based may decrease the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, several studies have faced criticism...

The potential advantages of plant-based interventions in decreasing the incidence and lessening the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 are yet to be widely acknowledged. Nevertheless, recent publications propose that these interventions could be effective. Our cardiology center conducted an interventional study in which we incorporated plant-based...

Nevertheless, recent investigations propose that these interventions could be effective. Our recent publication (part one) features an interventional study in which we incorporated...

Vaccine accessibility and availability has been shown to be one of the key factors to ensure rapid responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased vaccine coverage is, however, dependent on vaccine supply and transportation, in particular ensuring that road networks have as minimal disruption as possible. In Indonesia, the most common and imminent th...

Introduction: In the Asian region, Indonesia has the second-highest COVID-19 death toll and the highest mortality rate, which provides the background for this study. The research is centered on the elderly cardiology population with multiple comorbidities, who have demonstrated a propensity for extended recovery periods, heightened severity, hospit...

A considerable proportion of fatalities resulting from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occur suddenly in asymptomatic patients. Approximately 68% of AMIs are caused by coronary stenosis ≤ 50%, which is most likely due to the rupture of vulnerable plaques (VPs). A 55-year-old asymptomatic cardiologist who had been following preventive measures acc...

Objectives: Prospective studies on vaccination status and mortality related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in low-resource settings are still limited. We assessed the association between vaccination status (full, partial, or none) and in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients at most hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia during the Delta pred...

Purpose The number of emergency department (ED) visits and prolonged ED length of stay (LOS) are increasing worldwide. Prolonged ED LOS may be associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality. Here, we analysed the association between of ED LOS and the risk of in-hospital mortality in a hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia. Patients and methods Th...

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various sectors and may trigger a decrease in quality of life (QoL), so resilience is urgently needed. This study aimed to analyze the role of resilience in the QoL of individuals during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in East Jakarta, Indonesia. An explanatory sequential mixed methods study was conducted...

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical multiorgan autoimmune disease with a fluctuating and chronic disease course. As an emerging disease in this century, SLE will burden stakeholders and the country. This study was conducted to determine the prognostic factors for SLE worsening, especially in ambulatory patients. This ambispective s...

Every year, 1350 TNI personnel are sent as a Security Task Force to the north sector of RI-PNG Border which is a malaria endemic area. The nine-month assignment allowed the soldiers to become infected with malaria, despite effective control measures being implemented.The aim of control is to prevent death and reduce the incidence of malaria. There...

Rubella is a vaccine-preventable disease and is the leading cause of congenital disabilities. This study was performed to identify the congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) patients before and after the Rubella Vaccination Campaign in the Outpatient Unit of the Audiology Department at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. This was a descriptive study...

Syphilis is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Treponema pallidum. This disease results in significant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the predictors of syphilis incidence in the MSM population, namely age, education level, HIV status, use of condoms, consumption of drugs/injecting drugs, alcohol consumpt...

Background: sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by an excessive host immunological response to infection. The incidence of sepsis is increasing every year, and sepsis is the primary cause of mortality in intensive care units (ICUs). DIC is a coagulopathy syndrome that causes microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis and increase...

Background: Various determinants of 30-day mortality risk in CABG patients have been formulated into certain scoring models such as the EuroSCORE and ACEF model. However, these models only consider preoperative parameters while excluding intraoperative, postoperative, and perioperative parameters. Currently, the prior research has increasingly emph...
