It is a multifactorial condition with many contributing factors, namely genetics. This review aims to briefly provide several related genetic conditions for ID in the Indonesian population. Literature studies search relevant articles using PubMed and Google Scholar using the terms ‘intellectual disability’, ‘genetics', ‘Indonesian population’. In Indonesia, the prevalence of children with ID is 1–3%, with 62,011 school-aged children affected with Intellectual Disability. Genetics plays a role in around 25–50% of cases. ID in the Indonesian population is associated with several genetic disorders, namely Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fragile X syndrome (FXS), Down syndrome (DS), Apert syndrome, and subtelomeric chromosomal rearrangements. There is limited research on genetics related to intellectual disability in Indonesia, implying further research is needed.</p> 2024-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Sriwijaya Journal of Medicine https://sjm-fk.ejournal.unsri.ac.id/index.php/UnsriMedJ/article/view/221 Characteristic Analysis of Serum Vitamin D Levels with Hba1c in Type 2-Diabetes Mellitus Patients 2024-05-22T09:22:11+00:00 Emma Novita emmanovitadanus@gmail.com Mariana Mariana emmanovitadanus@gmail.com Hana U emmanovitadanus@gmail.com Alya Tsabita emmanovitadanus@gmail.com Irma Yolanda emmanovitadanus@gmail.com Syafira Yulia Sari emmanovitadanus@gmail.com <p>Diabetes is one of the most rapidly growing global health emergencies of the 21st century, it is estimated that 537 million (10.3%) people have diabetes, and this number is expected to reach 643 million (11.3%) in 2030, and 783 million (12.2%) %) in 2045. Vitamin D plays a role in insulin secretion by stimulating beta-cell secretion or facilitating the conversion of pro-insulin to insulin. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency may be involved in the pathogenesis of DM type 2. This study aims to analyze the characteristics, HbA1c level status, and vitamin D level status in DM type 2 patients in primary care. The research was conducted in September 2022 with DM type 2 patients who came to the Plaju Palembang Health Center as research subjects. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age and HbA1c levels in DM type 2 patients (p=0.020) and there was no relationship between gender, occupation, education level, BMI, abdominal circumference, family history, duration of diabetes, and vitamin D levels with HbA1c levels in DM type 2 patients (p&gt;0.05)</p> 2024-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Sriwijaya Journal of Medicine https://sjm-fk.ejournal.unsri.ac.id/index.php/UnsriMedJ/article/view/209 Curve Analysis After Bracing in Scoliosis Patients 2024-03-08T03:57:06+00:00 Rury Tiara Oktariza ruryto231085@gmail.com Indriyani Indriyani indriyani.dr_ump@yahoo.com Ecian Nada Utami indriyani.dr_ump@yahoo.com Erwin Maulana ruryto231085@gmail.com <p>Bracing is one of the scoliosis treatment methods recommended for patients with a curve of 25° to 40° still growing child or with curves less than 25°. Bracing aims to prevent the progression of curvature. This study aimed to evaluate the decrease in the Cobb angle after a 3-month bracing in scoliosis patients. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 67 scoliosis patients for age, gender, and the Cobb angle before and after wearing a brace for 3 months. The data was analyzed using a paired t-test with a confidence level of 95%.&nbsp; The research results showed that scoliosis is predominant in females (76.12%) and at 10-15 years old (60.78%). The mean pre-brace Cobb angle of 24.94° (±7.24) was reduced significantly (P &lt; 0.001) to 16.37° (±7.34).

Anemia is a lack of red blood cells in the body. Young women are more susceptible to anemia, this is related to their own condition of experiencing menstruation (menstruation) and the result of an unhealthy diet. Therefore, further research is needed to describe anemia in adolescent girls. The aim of this study is to describe the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls at SMPN 2 Depok, Yogyakarta. The method used in this research is descriptive study. The sample in this study used total sampling. The sample was 57 8th grade teenage girls at SMPN 2 Depok, Yogyakarta. data analysis using descriptive analysis. As much as 56.14% of the 51 teenage girls who took part in the activity had anemia or anemia (32 teenage girls). This shows that the incidence of anemia among adolescent girls at SMPN 2 Depok is still high. One of the causes of anemia in adolescent girls is the lack of prevention of anemia in adolescent girls, such as taking blood supplement tablets and consuming foods with balanced nutrition. The incidence of anemia in adolescent girls is still high, so efforts are needed to prevent anemia by schools collaborating with nearby health facilities.</p> 2024-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Sriwijaya Journal of Medicine https://sjm-fk.ejournal.unsri.ac.id/index.php/UnsriMedJ/article/view/218 Comparison of Germ Patterns between Cholesteatom Tissue and Tympanic Cavum Mucosa Tissue in COSM with Cholesteatom at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital, Palembang 2024-04-19T07:39:34+00:00 Resti Ramdani restiramdani@rocketmail.com Abla Ghanie restiramdani@rocketmail.com Fiona Widyasari restiramdani@rocketmail.com Ahmad Hifni restiramdani@rocketmail.com Irfannuddin Irfannuddin restiramdani@rocketmail.com <p>Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is middle ear inflammation due to infection characterized by otorrhea through perforation of the tympanic membrane that occurs for more than three months.
