Assessing the see-and-treat approach for the management of high-grade squamous intraepithelial cervical lesions

Objectives: To assess local histological outcomes in patients with HSIL cytology results on cervical smears, in both the see-and-treat and three-step approach. Study Design: A retrospective analysis of patients with HSIL on cervical cytology was performed, obtaining an 83 patient cohort. The histological result following the primary investigation (colposcopic-directed biopsy or excisional procedure) was noted for each patient together with their demographic variables and HPV status. Results: Of 83 patients with HSIL cytology on cervical smear, 43 underwent LLETZ as a primary procedure, while 40 patients underwent a colposcopic-directed biopsy. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of dermographics and HPV status between the two groups. In those patients who had LLETZ as a primary procedure, 29 had CIN2+ on histology. On the other hand, following colposcopic-directed biopsies, 17 resulted in CIN2+ on histology. Conclusion: The conventional approach within our local setting potentially has inferior sensitivity in picking up CIN2+ lesions when compared to the see-and-treat approach. On the other hand, primary excisional procedures were associated with an overtreatment rate of at least 20.9%, subjecting patients to unnecessary risks. Local improvement of colposcopic skill will aid to reduce this overtreatment rate and missed lesions at biopsy.peer-reviewe

Analisis Daya Saing dan Faktor Penentu Ekspor Komoditas Unggulan Indonesia ke Organisasi Kerjasama Islam (Oki)

Organization of Islamic Cooperation or OIC is an association of Islamic countries in the world which is made up of 57 countries, including Indonesia. OIC has great potential as a destination for the export market. The purpose of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian exports to OIC and determinants that influence it. Competitiveness of commodities analyzed using the RCA, IIT and EPD, while the determinants of export using the gravity model analysis. The results showed that 86,7 percent from fifteen commodities that have the largest export value had RCA more than one and seven commodity have market position as rising star, but from IIT analysis showed that integration of economics still not strong enough. Factors that influence a positive and significant impact on Indonesia's commodity exports to OIC are per capita income, real exchange rate and a common language, while the negative effects are the gdp per capita difference, economic distance and tarrif

Program Beasiswa dan Peningkatan Kinerja Dampak Kepemimpinan, Kontribusi Sosial dan Ekonomi Alumni LPDP

The Indonesia Endowment Funds for Education (LPDP) has an important role in supporting the government's vision to create superior human resources for advanced Indonesia through the provision of scholarship programs. However, so far, LPDP has not measured the impact (output) generated by the alumni of the scholarship recipients. This study further aims to analyze how the LPDP scholarship program can affect the improvement of leadership aspects and social and economic contributions of the recipients. This study involved a sample of 388 LPDP scholarship recipients both from within and outside the country, who were selected through the stratified random sampling method. The collected data was then analyzed using PLS-SEM (Partial Square Least-Structural Equation Modeling) analysis. The results of the study show that the scholarship program is able to positively and significantly improve aspects of the leadership, social and economic contributions of alumni who are recipients of the LPDP scholarship program. Thus, the LPDP institution can increase the output generated from its alumni by optimizing the scholarship program through evaluation of the debriefing preparation program (PK), the establishment of empowerment and talent pooling programs, as well as increasing the intensity of cooperation (synergy) between LPDP recipient alumni organizations.

Integrasi Perdagangan Dan Dinamika Ekspor Indonesia Ke Timur Tengah (Studi Kasus: Turki, Tunisia, Dan Maroko)

EnglishEconomic development contributes to integration and trade dynamics among countries. From now on, with global economic crisis as background setting, market diversification seems to be an appropriate strategy to minimize the hazardous impact on Indonesia's trade balance performance. It appears that the Middle East is a promising region with Turkey, Tunisia, dan Morocco as potential trade partners. An Intra Industry Trade (IIT) analysis shows that Indonesia experiences a relatively higher trade integration with Turkey compared to those with Tunisia and Morocco. In the meantime, a Constant Market Share Analysis (CMS) analysis indicates that the existing export dynamics is convergence for potential products. These products of animal and vegetable fats and oils, wood and wood products, and rubber and rubber products vary in decomposition effects in each trade partner. Combination of market intelligence and export product differentiation is considered as a comprehensive recommendation in first round stage for the Indonesia-Middle East FTA. IndonesianPerekonomian dunia yang berkembang pesat menyebabkan semakin tingginya integrasi dan dinamika perdagangan antarnegara. Dengan latar belakang krisis keuangan global, strategi diversifikasi pasar dianggap tepat untuk meminimisasi dampak yang merugikan bagi performa neraca perdagangan Indonesia. Komitmen strategi diversifikasi destinasi pasar memunculkan kawasan Timur Tengah sebagai kawasan yang potensial, meliputi Turki, Tunisia, dan Maroko. Analisis Intra Industry Trade (IIT) menunjukkan bahwa derajat integrasi perdagangan Indonesia–Turki lebih erat dibandingkan dengan Tunisia dan Maroko. Sementara itu, analisis Constant Market Share (CMS) mengindikasikan bahwa terdapat fenomena yang konvergen bagi dinamika ekspor Indonesia, dimana minyak yang berasal dari tumbuhan dan hewan, kayu dan produk kayu, serta karet dan produk karet menjadi produk yang potensial dengan efek dekomposisi yang bervariasi pada setiap mitra dagang. Kombinasi penguatan market intelligence (sisi permintaan) dan diferensiasi produk ekspor (sisi penawaran) merupakan rekomendasi komprehensif bagi tahap inisiasi FTA Indonesia-Timur Tengah

Comparison Between Taichi Chuan and Jacobson\u27s Progressive Muscular Relaxation in Decreasing Cortisol Concentration on Pre-Hypertension Patients

Nowadays, the prevalence of hypertension and its concomitant risk of cardiovascular and kidney disease development is increasing as the disability evidence in the society also rises. One of the potential risk factors of prehypertension is anxiety and it has already well-known that cortisol is a marker of anxiety. There are some nonpharmacologic methods to relieve anxiety: exercise and relaxation. Taichi Chuan is a low intensity aerobic exercise that also gives a relaxation effect.This study is organised to find out the effect of Taichi Chuan (TCC) and Jacobson\u27s Progressive Muscular Relaxation (JPMR) on cortisol level in pre hypertension patients. This is a pre and post-test design study with a total of 26 pre hypertension patients included. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group I performed Taichi Chuan exercise, while group II performed JPMR for 18 times. The intervention frequency was 3x/week for 6 weeks with 30 minutes duration for each session. In the study, which was held in April-June 2015, there was a decrease but no significant difference of cortisol concentration in both group.The comparison between groups also did not show statistical difference. However there were significant difference noted on the blood pressure before and after intervention in both groups
