Gastrointestinal symptoms such as epigastric pain and vomiting can mimic primary abdominal pathology, particularly in young adults perceived to have a low cardiovascular risk. A 29-year-old male presented to the emergency department with six hours of severe epigastric pain (8/10 intensity) accompanied by recurrent vomiting. He denied chest pain or dyspnoea. Electrocardiography demonstrated 2–3 mm ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF with reciprocal ST depression in leads I and aVL. High-sensitivity troponin I levels were markedly elevated. Emergent coronary angiography revealed a complete thrombotic occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery. The patient underwent successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention with deployment of a drug-eluting stent, restoring TIMI grade 3 coronary flow. Inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction may present solely with gastrointestinal symptoms even in young adults. Early electrocardiography remains essential in patients presenting with unexplained epigastric pain to prevent delayed reperfusion and adverse outcomes.</p> 2026-05-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Moses Phiri https://ebsina.or.id/journals/index.php/JCRCIH/article/view/622 Implementation of Combination of Benson Relaxation Therapy and Ki 3 Acupressure Intervention in Elderly People with Joint Pain 2026-02-04T02:18:28+00:00 Shabrina Fadila Archam setyoadi@ub.ac.id Setyoadi Setyoadi setyoadimalang@gmail.com Renny Nova setyoadi@ub.ac.id Dina Dewi Sartika Lestari Ismail setyoadi@ub.ac.id <p>Gout is a condition in which uric acid accumulates excessively in the body, caused by increased uric acid production or the consumption of foods high in purines, leading to joint pain and other symptoms. Complementary therapies that can be done include Benson relaxation therapy, which adds an element of word pronunciation according to the beliefs adhered to, and acupressure therapy, which emphasizes several points on the body's surface as centers of energy circulation. The purpose of this study is to describe the application of a combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Ki3 acupressure among elderly individuals with joint pain at UPT PSTW Pasuruan. The research used a case study design with 1 elderly person aged 73 years who had gout and had been experiencing joint pain for the past 6 months. The research instrument used was the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scale instrument. The intervention was carried out over 3 days, with 3 meetings, and was accompanied by measurement of the pain scale and uric acid levels before and after the intervention. The data collection technique uses interviews and observations, and the data are presented in a gerontic nursing care report format. The results showed a decrease in pain scale after receiving a combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Ki3 acupressure for 3 consecutive days, from 5 to 2. These results show that Benson relaxation and Ki3 acupressure can be an effective, simple non-pharmacological therapy that can be recommended to reduce joint pain in the elderly.</p> 2026-05-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Shabrina Fadila Archam, Setyoadi Setyoadi, Renny Nova, Dina Dewi Sartika Lestari Ismail
