    Background: Vitamin D deficiency is known to cause changes in disease pathogenesis in primary Sjögren's syndrome related to its immunological effects. Objective: This study aims to determine the correlation between serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels and TNF-α and caspase levels in Sjögren's syndrome patients. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study involving 34 Sjögren's syndrome patients aged 18-59 years with vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency and measured levels of TNF-α and caspase. Result: The correlation between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and caspase levels obtained a value of r=-0.581, which means that there is a negative correlation in the moderate category (r=0.400-0.599) between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and caspase levels, and the p-value =<0.001 (p-value<0.05). The correlation between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and TNF-α levels obtained a value of r=-0.436, which means that there is a negative correlation in the moderate category (r=0.400-0.599) between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and a decrease in TNF-α, and p-value =<0.001 (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant negative relationship between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and TNF-α and caspase levels

    Background: Primary Sjögren syndrome is chronic systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands, most commonly presenting with dryness of the mouth and eyes. This case is very rare, which the antibody in the Sjogren's syndrome case concerns platelets. Objective: This case report emphasizes the occurrence of epistaxis in Sjögren Syndrome. Case Presentation: This case describes a 30-year-old male presenting with recurrent epistaxis as the initial clinical manifestation. Further clinical evaluation revealed hypertensive crisis and dryness in the mouth and nasal mucosa. The clinical presentation raised suspicion of an underlying autoimmune condition, prompting further testing, which confirmed the presence of anti -Sjögren’s syndrome type B (SSB) antibodies on an antinuclear antibody (ANA) profile.  Result: The criteria for Sjogren's syndrome are based on the criteria if eye and mouth symptoms, eye and mouth clinical signs, and one of autoantibodies are found Anti-Ro (SSA), Anti-La (SSB), Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Rheumatoid factor (RF). From this case has found symptoms of mouth and antibodies SSB. Conclusion: This case highlights that epistaxis can be caused by autoimmune cases, for epistaxis it is better to do screening for autoimmune examination test, emphasizing the need for further research to elucidate the diverse clinical manifestation, progression and prognosis factor

    Evaluation of Therapeutic Antibiotics After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Quasi- Experimental Study

    Full text link
    Background: The routine use of postoperative therapeutic antibiotics after laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains controversial due to limited evidence of clinical benefit and concerns over antimicrobial resistance. Objective: To evaluate the effect of postoperative therapeutic antibiotics on surgical site infections (SSI) and laboratory outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A quasi-experimental, post-testonly study with a non-equivalent control group was conducted at RSUP Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah (September 2023–March 2024). Fifty-six patients were divided into two groups: postoperative antibiotics (cefoperazone followed by cefixime) versus no antibiotics. SSI was assessed on postoperative days 7 and 30 using the ASEPSIS scoring system. Laboratory parameters (leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, and platelet counts) were compared between groups. No SSI occurred in either group. Laboratory outcomes showed nostatistically significant differences between the antibiotic and non-antibiotic groups (p > 0.05). Results: The mean age of participants was 45.2 ± 15.1 years, with female predominance. Conclusion: Postoperative therapeutic antibiotics did not reduce SSI rates or alter laboratory outcomes followinglaparoscopic cholecystectomy. Routine use is not supported in mild to moderate cases, and limiting unnecessary antibiotics may help reduce antimicrobial resistance

    Makna Pengalaman Burnout Dan Sleep Deprivation Dalam Siklus Audit: Studi Fenomenologi Pada Auditor

    Full text link
    Annual audits are often marked by high work pressure that leads to fatigue and sleep deprivation among auditors. This study aims to understand how auditors interpret their experiences of burnout and lack of sleep in their professional context. A qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological method was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with auditors who had completed at least one full audit cycle. The findings reveal that burnout and sleep deprivation are not merely perceived as physical strain but also as part of the construction of professional identity, a form of career sacrifice, and a driving force in reconsidering career sustainability. Auditors are aware that such pressure directly affects their work-life balance and career decisions. The results indicate that chronic exhaustion is embedded in a work culture that normalizes excessive workloads. Therefore, greater attention is needed toward auditor well-being through more humane and sustainable workload management policies. This study aims to contribute to encouraging cultural change in the work environment of Public Accounting Firms

    Full text link
    Proyek konstruksi pembangunan Hotel & Resort di Samosir adanya potensi terjadinya keterlambatan pekerjaan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan satu inovasi dalam upaya peningkatan kinerja biaya melalui integrasi metode Lean Construction dan manajemen risiko berbasis  Java Programming pada proses forecasting untuk optimasi kinerja biaya proyek konstruksi bangunan precast. Lean Construction merupakan metode yang bertujuan untuk simulasi peningkatan value atau nilai tambah produksi serta mengurangi biaya operasi (waste). Sedangkan manajemen risiko merupakan tata kelola untuk menentukan rencana tindak lanjut atas beberapa kejadian yang memiliki dampak pada kelangsungan suatu proyek. Dalam hal ini integrasi atas dua metode tersebut akan dibuat dalam sebuah program pemodelan berbasis Java Programming. Hasil dari simulasi integrasi metode Lean Construction dan manajemen risiko, dimana besarnya biaya risiko sebelum dioptimasi yaitu Rp 14,753milyar. Selanjutnya dari hasil analisis optimasi dengan Lean Construction dan manajemen risiko berbasis aplikasi Java Programming,maka hasilnya adalah biaya risiko turun sebesar 51% menjadi Rp 7,230milyar.
