Abstract

Background Dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are differentiated by the occurrence in DHF of plasma leakage into the interstitial space as shown by pleural and peritoneal effusion, hemoconcentration, and intravascular hypovolemia. Perfusion dysfunction causes anaerobic metabolism, which leads to increased serum lactate. This study was to determine serum lactate as prognostic predictor and diagnostic biomarker of plasma leakage in adult dengue patients.Methods A cross-sectional retrospective cohort study was conducted on 57 adult dengue patients hospitalized in the internal medicine ward of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and Persahabatan Hospital in Jakarta. Serum lactate was examined to determine its mean difference between DF and DHF. The data was analyzed by independent t-test and the cut-off points were identified for presence as well as absence of plasma leakage, then the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to determine sensitivity and specificity.Results Mean serum lactate was significantly higher in DHF than in DF. From the ROC curve, the cut-off point for serum lactate as prognostic predictor on day 3 of fever was ³2.65 mmol/L with AUC of 0.626 (95% CI 0.480-0.772; p=0.108). The cut-off point for diagnostic biomarker of plasma leakage on day 5 of fever was 2.55 mmol/L with sensitivity 66.6%, specificity 54.2%, and AUC 0.668 (95% CI 0.550-0.826; p=0.016).Conclusion There was a significant difference in serum lactate between DF and DHF. In the critical phase, serum lactate of 2.55 mmol/L could be used as plasma leakage diagnostic marker of low accuracy.

Abstract

Background: The minimal number of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients diagnosed through surveillance is proposed as the cause of persistently low number of survival. It is important to identify the proportion of surveillance for early detection of HCC in patients with liver cirrhosis and related factors. This study aimed to determine the proportion of surveillance for early detection of HCC in patients with liver cirrhosis and related factors.Method: A cross-sectional study of patients with liver cirrhosis at RSCM from January to December 2013. The data was obtained from medical records and confirmed by telephone. Surveillance was required for abdominal ultrasound with or without AFP at least once a year within 3 years after that period. Factors studied were gender, ethnicity, education level, income level, availability of medical insurance, location of residence, surveillance education, cirrhosis aetiology, and severity of cirrhosis. Then, logistic regression test was used in the multivariate analysis.Results: From 200 patients, 50 patients (25,0%) underwent surveillance, 150 patients (75,0%) did not. Bivariate analysis revealed 4 variables with p < 0.25, gender (p = 0,056), ethnicity (p = 0, 231), surveillance education (p = 0,005), and severity of cirrhosis (p = 0, 005). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors for surveillance were surveillance education (OR = 2,598; CI 95% (1,325 - 5,094), p = 0,005) and severity of cirrhosis (OR = 1.815; CI 95% = 1,210-2,724; p = 0,004).Conclusion: Surveillance education and severity of cirrhosis were the factors associated with surveillance for early detection of HCC in liver cirrhosis patients.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Studies on the characteristics CD4+ and CD8+ in hepatitis C and their correlation with the severity of the disease have been rarely conducted. This study was aimed to obtain the mean difference between CD4+ and CD8+ count in liver to evaluate their correlation with fibrosis and necroinflammatory grades in chronic hepatitis C. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March and July 2010 with 30 liver biopsies obtained from patients with non-B and non-HIV chronic hepatitis C who visited the Outpatient Clinic of Hepatology Unit at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in January 2008–February 2010. Fibrosis and necroinflammatory grades were determined using METAVIR methods on liver biopsies. The mean values of CD4+ and CD8+ in portal tracts and hepatic lobules in liver biopsy specimens were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed by using independent T-test and Spearman test. Results: There was a difference in mean CD4+ counts between portal tracts and the lobules (95% CI = 4.3-17.9; p = 0.002) and also differences in mean CD8+ counts in portal tracts and hepatic lobules (95% CI = 15.4-35.6; p < 0.001). There was no correlation between CD4+ and CD8+ counts, either in portal tracts or the lobules, and inflammatory grades as well as the liver fibrosis. Conclusion: CD4+ and CD8+ counts are greater in portal area compared to the hepatic lobules, with greater CD8+ counts than CD4+. However, both CD4+ and CD8+ counts are not correlated to the severity of liver damage.  Keywords: CD4+, CD8+, intrahepatic, chronic hepatitis C, METAVIR

Abstract

Tumors of the papilla Vater are very rare. Papilla Vater’s tumors are benign or malignant tumors in the ampulla of Vater and periampullary region. Blockage of ampulla leads to the development of obstructive jaundice; intermittent cholangitis, epigastric discomfort and weight loss. Treatment possibilities include endoscopic ampulectomy, surgical transduodenal excision of tumors of the ampulla and pancreatoduodenectomy (PDE). Prognosis depends on histological typing of the tumor and their clinical stage. We report a case of papilla Vater’s tumor in elderly with comorbidities based on literature review. A 68-year-old female patient was referred for evaluation of intra and extra hepatic bile duct dilatation noted on abdominal ultrasonography. She complained of intermittent epigastric and right upper abdominal pain, with yellowish skin for two months. The laboratory findings showed leukocytosis, hyperbilirubinemia, abnormal liver function test, and high Ca 19-9. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed a distal obstruction caused by papilla Vater’s tumor. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) with contrast, revealed a dilated common bile duct and pancreatic duct. The histologic evaluation was highly suggestive for dysplasia. She is now on a schedule for a Whipple procedure. To make a true diagnosis and optimal treatment of papilla Vater’s tumor is multimodal. By doing a comprehensive geriatric assessment, with a careful modality selection, a Whipple procedure can be performed in elderly (65 years) safely. The post operative morbidity and mortality depends on their multi morbidity. Surgical, endoscopic, or radiologic biliary decompression; relief of gastric outlet obstruction; and adequate pain control may improve the quality of life but do not affect overall survival rate. By building a great interdisciplinary teamwork, the quality of life increased as follows.Keywords: papilla Vater tumor, elderly, Whipple procedure

Abstract

Introduction. Diagnosing community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the elderly remains a clinical challenge for various reasons. The clinical manifestation in the elderly is not frank and atypical manifestations, e.g. falls, decrease of functional status and food intake or urinary incontinence, may be present. These reasons may be associated with under or over diagnosis, which consequently contribute to the higher observed mortality rate in the elderly population with CAP. Study about factors related to diagnosis of CAP in the elderly was ra rely performed. Methods. From January to October 2010, 158 elderly patients suspected of having pneumonia at RSCM were registered. Relationship between clinical, laboratory and radiologic factors which consist of classic manifestations (cough, productive cough, dyspnea, fever, rales, leucocytosis, infiltrates) and atypical manifestations (decrease of intake and functional status, falls, urinary incontinence) with diagnosis community acquired pneumonia were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristics analysis of C-reactive protein was performed to find its association with diagnosis of pneumonia. Results. Of 158 subject, 106 were confirmed of having pneumonia. Final model of multiple logistics regression analysis revealed three factors: cough (p Conclusions. Factors related with diagnosis of community-acquired penumoni in the elderly are cough, rhales and infiltrates. All four atypical manifestations are proven unrelated with diagnosis of pneumonia. C-reactive protein does not predict diagnosis of CAP in the eldery.
