"ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Postoperative Cognitive dysfunction (POCD) adalah gangguanfungsi kognitif dan komplikasi yang sering ditemukan pada pasien usia lanjut pascamenjalani anestesia umum. Selain faktor usia, pembedahan mayor, penyakitpenyerta dan riwayat konsumi obat-obatan tertentu, salah satu faktor dalampeningkatan kejadian POCD adalah tingkat pendidikan pasien. Penelitian tentangtingkat pendidikan dengan angka insiden POCD masih menunjukkan hasil yangberbeda-beda. Kondisi demografis Indonesia mengalami peningkatan populasilanjut usia disertai tingkat pendidikan yang masih rendah sehingga penelitian inibertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh tingkat pendidikan terhadap angka kejadianPOCD pada populasi usia lanjut.Metode. Penelitian ini merupakan uji potong lintang terhadap pasien lanjut usia ( lebih dari60 tahun) yang menjalani pembiusan umum di RSCM pada bulan Februari sampaiDesember 2018. Sebanyak 84 subyek diambil setelah memenuhi kriteria inklusi.Skor kognitif dinilai menggunakan Trail making test B dan Digit Span Backward.Analisis data menggunakan uji bivariat dengan Chi-Square dan analisis multivariatregresi logistik.Hasil. Jumlah subjek yang dianalisis pada penelitian ini 80 subjek dengan 9(11.8%) pasien dengan pendidikan rendah, 41 (52.6%) pasien dengan pendidikanmenengah dan 30 (35.6%) pasien dengan pendidikan tinggi. Angka kejadian POCDsebesar 20 (25%) dengan tingkat pendidikan rendah sebanyak 2 (22.2%), tingkatpendidikan menengah sebanyak 11 (26.8%) dan tingkat pendidikan tinggi sebanyak7 (23.3%). Pengaruh tingkat pendidikan terhadap angka kejadian POCD tidakbermakna dengan p 0.921 dan memiliki OR sebesar 1.124. Pada penelitian ini usiatidak bermakna menyebabkan POCD (p=0.064), jenis kelamin tidak bermaknamenyebabkan POCD (p=0.242), dan riwayat operasi tidak bermakna menyebabkanPOCD (p=0.196).Simpulan. Tingkat pendidikan tidak mempengaruhi angka kejadian POCD padapasien lanjut usia yang menjalani anestesia umum.

ABSTRACTBackground: Cognitive impairment after anesthesia and surgery, also known asPostoperative Cognitive dysfunction (POCD) are most commonly found amongstthe elderly population. Factors that elevate the risk of POCD include old age, majorsurgery, pre-existing comorbidities and consumption of certain drugs. Anotherfactor known to increase the incidence of POCD is low education level.However,study about education level and the incidence of POCD still have differentresults. As Indonesias elderly population and low level education dominance areexpected to increase, this study aims to evaluate the association of educational leveland the incidence of POCD amongst the elderly population after general anesthesia.Method: This study is a cross-sectional study involving elderly patients ( 60years) who underwent general anesthesia at RSCM during February to December2018. A total of 84 subjects were selected after fulfilling the inclusion criteria.Cognitive score was assessed using Trail making test B and Digit Span Backward,while psychometric test was carried out by a validated psychologist. Data wereanalyzed using bivariate analysis test with Chi-Square and multivariate analysiswith logistic regretion.Results: Demographic studies grouped 9 (11.8%) patients with low education, 41(52.6%) patients with secondary education and 30 (35.6%) patients with highereducation. The incidence of POCD was 25% and incidence od POCD in group withlow level of education was 2 (22.2%), average level of education and POCD was11 (26.8%) and the higher level of education and POCD were 7 (23.3%). This studyfound no significant association between education level and the incidence ofPOCD (p=0.921), with an odds ratio of 1.124. Furthermore, this study found thatno significant association between age with the incidence of POCD (p=0.064) nordoes gender and incidence of POCD (p=0.242), and history of surgery withincidence of POCD (p=0.196Conclusion: Education level do not affect the incidence of POCD in elderlypatients undergoing general anesthesia."

"This concise, pragmatic, pocket-sized book addresses neurological contributions to the diagnosis and management of dementia through a longitudinal examination of the work undertaken in a dedicated neurological dementia clinic. It covers the use of cognitive and non-cognitive screening instruments and their diagnostic utility and the use of other diagnostic investigations: neuroimaging, neurophysiology and neuropathology. The diagnostic mix is discussed in terms of both neuropsychological syndromes and neurological diagnoses, as is the use of conventional treatments for dementia and the impact of national directives (e.g. NICE, National Dementia Strategy) on day-to-day clinical practice. This book, is an illustrated, practical resource for medical professionals involved in the assessment and management of dementia patients. "

"The volume provides an introduction to the concept of active surveillance in oncology in general and prostate cancer specifically. The primary focus is to provide a comprehensive guide to the management of patients on surveillance. The volume covers the many complexities and nuances to this approach including, patient selection, risk assessment, how to overcome 'cancer hysteria' when counseling patients, identifying appropriate triggers for intervention, use of PSA kinetics and MR imaging information, technique and frequency of biopsies, secondary prevention interventions, and the relative roles of surveillance and focal therapy."

"This volume addresses the unique property of ghrelin as a modulator of function. Such a property provides potential utility for safe intervention in a wide variety of disease states. Indeed as we learn more about the basic physiology of ghrelin, the potential for treating new disease targets emerge requiring validation in the clinic. Each chapter in this volume is authored by a leading investigator in the field. The introductory chapter sets the background for the book and provides a superb overview of the relevance of ghrelin to physiology, describing how the discovery of ghrelin has prompted us to completely rethink traditional physiology. The authors conclude their chapters by critically addressing the future translational aspects of ghrelin biology and outlining what key basic research and clinical questions remain to be addressed. An invaluable resource, Ghrelin in Health and Disease distinguishes itself as the first comprehensive title covering all of the molecular and clinical issues relating to ghrelin and advancing our clinical understanding of obesity, growth, and reproductive pathogenesis."
