The learning process that is carried out online makes students’ psychological and mental activities trained in the environment, which results in a pile of changes in knowledge and understanding, skills and attitude values. Perception is a point of view or understanding of material or information received during learning activities. This study has four operational definitions, namely online learning, problem-based learning, skills lab, and integration. From the results of this study, it was concluded that students have perceptions of online learning satisfaction because students can study anywhere during the pandemic and can understand the material presented by lecturers.

HIGM syndrome was initially thought to be caused by genetic defects related to the X chromosome only, but along with advances in molecular technology in detecting genetic abnormalities, other autosomal-type defects were found. Genetic defects in HIGM Syndrome cause disruption of the maturation process of humoral immunity, especially diversity through CSR, and increased affinity through SHM. Clinical manifestation of HIGM patients varies greatly and depends on the defect in the CD40L or CD40 signal pathway. Current therapy given for HIGM patients aim to resolve those clinical manifestation and fix the production of high-affinity antibody. Life expectancy of patients without a bone marrow transplant is estimated to be less than 30 years.</em></p>2024-08-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Martina Rentauli Sihombinghttps://ejournal.ukrida.ac.id/index.php/ms/article/view/3279The Use of Corticosteroid Eye Drops in Patients Post Cataract Surgery2024-08-20T03:44:18+00:00Ana Claudiaclaudya.aannaa21@gmail.comPutri Alivia Rusantiputri.2018fk049@civitas.ukrida.ac.idAgnes Imelda Sipangkaragnes.102019078@civitas.ukrida.ac.idSanti Anugrahsarichantiechay@gmail.com<p><em>The use of corticosteroid eye drops is one of the post-cataract surgery treatments aimed at reducing inflammation and preventing complications. This literature aims to review the effectiveness and safety of topical corticosteroid use in patients after cataract surgery. Reviewing several recent studies on this topic, this literature finds that topical corticosteroids effectively reduce inflammation and speed up post-operative healing. However, there are risks of side effects, such as increased intraocular pressure (IOP), that need to be considered. The literature also discusses comparisons between corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), showing that while NSAIDs are also effective, corticosteroids provide better results in controlling inflammation. In conclusion, corticosteroid eye drops are recommended as the standard treatment after cataract surgery with close monitoring of IOP.</em></p>2024-08-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Ana Claudia, Putri Alivia Rusanti, Agnes Imelda Sipangkar, Santi Anugrahsarihttps://ejournal.ukrida.ac.id/index.php/ms/article/view/3265Age Estimation Based on Bones2024-08-19T06:31:53+00:00Pamela Ariefmelarief2@gmail.comRowen Jayadi Gozalirowen.201706000188@student.atmajaya.ac.idBethea Manuela Mulyonobethea.201906000085@student.atmajaya.ac.idTri Widiastutitri.201806000075@student.atmajaya.ac.idLaurie Marcellalaurie.201906000018@student.atmajaya.ac.idHanif Arfandihanif.201906000099@student.atmajaya.ac.idAprilda Yulifa Thalia Thomas Karupukaroaprilda.201906000021@student.atmajaya.ac.idZshananda Kristhazshanazshanan.201906000103@student.atmajaya.ac.idHeunice Preciousheunice.201906000107@student.atmajaya.ac.idLourdes Ethanellelourdes.201906000077@student.atmajaya.ac.idLiauw Djai Yenliauw.yen@ukrida.ac.id<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Pendahuluan: </strong>Estimasi usia kerangka manusia merupakan aspek penting dalam profil biologis yang digunakan oleh antropolog forensik untuk identifikasi individu yang meninggal.

The use of adequate analgesics is the main treatment to reduce the side effects of pain, namely immobilization, decreased range of motion (ROM), increased risk of thromboembolism and decreased success rate of rehabilitation. Several previous studies reported the possibility of a significant therapeutic effect on the postoperative pain response by using preemptive analgesia methods with cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (COX-2 inhibitors). The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of COX-2 inhibitors using the preemptive analgesia method in total knee arthroplasty surgery through a literature study. Data searches were carried out on several electronic journal databases PubMed, ProQuest and Google Scholar, with the keywords "cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors", "COX-2 inhibitor", "celecoxib", "valdecoxib", "rofecoxib", "etoricoxib", "non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs”, “preoperative analgesia”, and “total knee arthroplasty”. in 2013-2022. Overall, the study showed a significant response to the use of COX-2 inhibitors in preemptive analgesia methods to suppress the pain response at rest and during knee flexion after TKA when compared with the control group. The PA method with COX-2 inhibitors has also been proven to be successful in reducing the level of use of salvatory analgesics, which indirectly indicates that pain control has been successful.

Cellular therapy with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) offers a novel therapeutic approach for fibrosis lung disease associated with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, regenerative, pro-angiogenic and anti-fibrotic properties. Such therapeutic effects may be attributed to the MSC-secretome, which is made of free soluble proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This review summarises some recent literature findings related to the efficacy and safety of MSC-derived products in pre-clinical models of lung diseases, demonstrating the biologically active substances contained in the MSC-secretome and its mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration. A perspective view is given on the secretome being a high-quality, safe and effective medicinal product,</p> <p> </p>2024-08-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Ronald Winardi Kartika, Kris Herawan Timotiushttps://ejournal.ukrida.ac.id/index.php/ms/article/view/3109Pharmacotherapy Study Of Albendazole And Mebendazole For Soil Transmitted Helminths Infections In Children2024-03-01T06:41:42+00:00Inneke Kusumawati Susantoinneke.kusumawati@ukrida.ac.idWilliam Williamwilliam1706@ukrida.ac.idNabila Agathainneke.kusumawati@ukrida.ac.id<p><em>Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection is a nematode infection of the intestine that requires soil for its transmission. The worms that cause Soil Transmitted Helminths infection include; Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale. The incidence of STH infection is quite high with the highest spread of STH infection in the child age group. Treatment of cases of STH infection is by administering antihelmintic drugs or worming drugs. Although there are four The drugs recommended by WHO, only the two drugs most often used in the treatment of STH infections, namely albendazole and mebendazole. Both drugs have been used for more than 30 years, but cases of STH infection still have a high incidence. That is why this literature review was written aims to describe the efficacy of the two drugs for STH infection in children so that their effectiveness can be assessed.The research method used was a literature review, a literature search was sourced from Proquest, Google scholar, Pubmed, Elsevier and Europe PMC. keywords Albendazole, Mebendazole, Soil Transmitted Helminths Infections, Children. There are 10 selected literatures to be studied in this literature review.</em><em> The results showed that albendazole had satisfactory efficacy in STH infections caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and hookworms, but reduced efficacy in Trichuris trichiura worms. Mebendazole has satisfactory efficacy in STH infections caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura, but reduced efficacy in hookworms. Albendazole and mebendazole does not cause side effects.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p>2024-08-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Inneke Kusumawati Susanto, William William, Nabila Agatha https://ejournal.ukrida.ac.id/index.php/ms/article/view/3079Current Management of Fluorometholone Steroids in Pediatric Vernal Conjunctivitis: A Literature Review2024-04-05T06:41:53+00:00Muhammad Fauzi Fajarmuhammad.102019102@civitas.ukrida.ac.idMaria Siallaganmaria.2016fk038@civitas.ukrida.ac.idGladis Salsabila Najla Nabighahgladis.2017fk171@civitas.ukrida.ac.idPande I Gede Indra Wijayapande.102019073@civitas.ukrida.ac.idSanti Anugrahsarisanti.anugrahsari@ukrida.ac.id<p><em>Vernal conjunctivitis is a rare allergic eye disease, usually affecting children in the prepubertal years and can last between 5 to 10 years. Treatment of this condition is often challenging, requiring effective therapies to reduce symptoms. This literature review, conducted between 2015 and 2023, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fluorometholone steroid use in the treatment of pediatric vernal conjunctivitis. Recent studies comparing the effectiveness of Fluorometholone 0.1% in the treatment of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) were analyzed. The results showed that Fluorometholone was effective compared to Cyclosporine in reducing VKC symptoms. However, the use of Fluorometholone should be done with caution due to potential side effects such as increased intraocular pressure and risk of infection.Fluorometholone is an effective treatment option for vernal conjunctivitis in children. However, it is important to have close monitoring by an ophthalmologist to avoid serious side effects. With careful monitoring and proper dose adjustment, Fluorometholone can be a safe and effective therapy in managing this condition.</em></p> <p> </p>2024-08-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Muhammad Fauzi Fajar, Maria Siallagan, Gladis Salsabila Najla Nabighah, Pande I Gede Indra Wijaya, Santi Anugrahsarihttps://ejournal.ukrida.ac.id/index.php/ms/article/view/3010Potential of Tepezza (Teprotumumab) in the Treatment of Active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) 2024-01-23T05:09:11+00:00Dewi Samudra Putri Aliffa Rukmanadewi.102019093@civitas.ukrida.ac.idRani Nurmala RamziRani.102019156@civitas.ukridaJevon Dhuartejevon.2017fk102@civitas.ukrida.ac.idFitra Jayafitra.2016fk117@civitas.ukrida.ac.idSanti Anugrahsarichantiechay@gmail.com<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p> <p><em>Active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a medical condition involving swelling of the muscles, tissues, and fats around the eyes. This can lead to serious symptoms including double vision and vision loss. Tepezza (Teprotumumab) is an innovative therapy that inhibits the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and has been approved for TED treatment. Teprotumumab works by reducing inflammation and TED symptoms. Pharmacokinetic studies indicate that this drug can be effectively administered via intravenous infusion. Various studies have shown that teprotumumab can significantly reduce proptosis, diplopia, and clinical activity of TED. This therapy has proven effective in various patient groups, including those with long-standing TED and those unresponsive to other treatments. Teprotumumab holds a promising breakthrough in TED management, improving the quality of life for individuals affected by this disease. Further studies are needed to fully understand the mechanism and potential of teprotumumab in TED treatment.</em></p>2024-08-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Dewi Samudra Putri Aliffa Rukmana, Rani Nurmala Ramzi, Jevon Dhuarte, Fitra Jaya, Santi Anugrahsarihttps://ejournal.ukrida.ac.id/index.php/ms/article/view/3270Ultrasound findings of Achilles Tendon Rupture2024-07-10T02:09:35+00:00Mira Fitriningsihmira.fitriningsih@ukrida.ac.idGladys Septrilamira.fitriningsih@ukrida.ac.id<p><em>Achilles tendon rupture is a condition where there is a tear in the Achilles tendon.
