Correlation between Salivary Cortisol Levels in Patients with Psychological Stress and Incidence of Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis: A Scoping Review
Get PDFBackground: The etiology of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is still unclear, but psychological stress is thought to contribute to the occurrence of RAS. One of the biomarkers for evaluating psychological stress levels is through measuring salivary cortisol levels. This scoping review aims to review and evaluate the correlation between salivary cortisol levels in individuals with psychological stress and an increased incidence of RAS.Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines through databases on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar until November 2023. All included studies discussed salivary cortisol levels in RAS patients and controls.Results: Eleven of the twelve studies showed an increase in salivary cortisol levels in RAS patients compared with the control group, with eight of them having a statistically significant increase. In addition, eight studies evaluated the level of psychological stress in respondents, seven of which concluded that there was an increase in stress levels in RAS patients with five of them showing a statistically significant increase.Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study concludes that there is a correlation between increased salivary cortisol levels in individuals with psychological stress and an increased incidence of RAS

HUBUNGAN SHORT TERM MEMORY SISWA KELAS X DARI SUDUT PANDANG NEUROSAINS DI SEKOLAH MENENGAH ATAS DENGAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA
No full textOne of the important abilities in a person's cognitive is the ability of memory, one of which is short-term memory (STM). This study investigates the relationship between Short-Term Memory (STM) and math learning outcomes. The researcher conducts a literature review to gather information and then performs an experiment to measure STM in a class of grade X students in a private school in Bekasi City. The study discusses various information about STM and its connection to students' math learning outcomes. The researcher develops an instrument to measure memory span and administers a test to obtain STM scores, correlating with student learning outcomes using Pearson simple correlation analysis. The results reveal a very low correlation (r=0.104) between STM and grade X learning outcomes in this study. The study concludes that STM does not significantly impact students' learning outcomes since long-term memory is where learners store their general knowledge, school learnings, and personal memories. It suggests that students must review previously studied materials before being assessed to achieve optimal learning results. Other factors that affect learning outcomes include students' psychological factors like interest, intelligence, talent, motivation, and cognitive abilities
Sleep quality and hemoglobin levels in adolescents
Get PDFHemoglobin levels play an important role in the health status of adolescents. Low hemoglobin levels in the blood can interfere with the growth process, decrease fitness levels, memory and immunity, and concentration levels. It can affect learning ability and academic achievement in adolescents. Sleep quality is thought to be one of the important factors that can affect hemoglobin regulation in the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep quality and hemoglobin levels in adolescents at SMAS Sunan Kalijaga Jabung Malang Regency. The research method used observational-cross sectional with a total of 56 adolescents with the Multistage Sampling technique. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to determine sleep quality and took capillary blood samples to determine hemoglobin levels. The results showed that most adolescents (89.3%) had poor sleep quality and 39.3% of adolescents had low hemoglobin levels. The correlation test used Spearman Rho and the results were p-value = 0.021 and r = -0.308. This means that there is a relationship between sleep quality and hemoglobin levels. Increasing sleep quality affects the regulation of blood hemoglobin levels in adolescents
