Introduction: Type II is the most common type of Diabetes Mellitus, and one of the most common non-communicable diseases globally. In Indonesia, diabetes contributes to 6% of total deaths. Current medicaments therapy available can only control the disease, not to cure it. Recently, there has been new treatment that has been recommended into standard care for type II Diabetes Mellitus. It was in September 2015 at the second Diabetes Surgery Summit that the introduction of bariatric surgery has been put into standard care for type II Diabetes Mellitus.Objective: To draw a comparison of the effectiveness between bariatric surgery and current medicaments therapy in reducing HbA1c to achieve remission.Methods: Literature study was conducted to identify relevant literature showing comparison study between bariatric surgery and medicaments therapy, and comparison study between types of bariatric surgery. 16 Studies are included in this article from 230 studies found.Results: HbA1c remission in bariatric surgery is significantly higher than medicaments therapy in all studies, ranging from 66.7% vs 0% to 57.1% vs 9.5% during 6-24 months after therapy. Between all types of bariatric surgery, most of the studies shows that Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass achieves HbA1c remission higher than other types of surgery.Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is better than current medicaments therapy in achieving HbA1c remission.

Esophageal variceal haemorrhage is one of the more dangerous complications of hepatic cirrhosis. Initial treatment can determine patient mortality and morbidity. But not all hospitals have adequate facilities and medicines to handle it. The 53-year-old woman came with a diagnosis of ascites and hematemesis. At the initial examination found hypotension. Laboratory results show anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis. The next morning the patient's condition worsened and was transferred to ICU. During the ICU patients receive 10 lpm oxygen support, cefobactam, pantoprazole, PRC transfusion, and dopamine. Patients begin conscious on the 5th day of treatment. Then the patient started getting diuretics on day 6 and propranolol on day 9. On day 13 the patient's condition improved and the patient was discharged for outpatient treatment. Limitations of the endoscopic tool cause not every hospital in Indonesia can perform emergency endoscopy for therapy. However, with rapid and appropriate pharmacological therapy, patients can be helped not to fall into mortality and prevent recurrent bleeding.

Introduction: Depression is a common mental health conditions in the world. Compare to general population, the prevalence of depression in medical students are higher. There are several risk factors that might contribute to the higher rate of depression in medical students, including being a gifted student. However, no study has been published regarding the depression of the gifted medical students until now.Aim: To find out the difference in the level of depression between gifted and non-gifted medical students. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted from October to December 2016. Subjects were third year medical students from Faculty of Medicine Universitas Airlangga. There were 2 groups in this study. Samples from gifted students group was obtained using total sampling method, while number of samples from non-gifted students group was equated with gifted students group. Depression was measured using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. Results: 34 students, 17 students in the gifted students group and 17 students in the non-gifted students group, were included in this study. Based on the BDI score results category, 2 students from the gifted students group and 1 student from non-gifted students group were in the mild category, and 1 student from the gifted students group was in the borderline category. The highest BDI score in gifted students group were 14, while in non- gifted students group were 17. There was no significant difference of the BDI score and BDI category between groups (p = 0.154; 0.951, respectively).Conclusion: There was no significant difference of depression level between gifted and non-gifted medical students.

Pericarditis is a common disorder that might present in various settings, including primary-care and emergency department. However, the clinical features in some cases did not match with the written theory, which could lead to a misdiagnosis. A 46-year-old man presented to the emergency room with progressive tightness chest pain, epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting in the past 2 days. Based on the clinical, electrocardiograph (ECG), and laboratory evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with unstable angina pectoris and treated accordingly but did not showed an improvement. Clinical re-examination and echocardiography evaluation showed a pathognomonic finding of pericarditis feature. Combination therapy of colchicine and ibuprofen was given for 3 weeks. One-month follow-up evaluation showed normal ECG and echocardiography result without any remaining symptoms. Acute pericarditis does not always show typical finding. Therefore, clinician must always aware with other differential diagnosis of chest pain and ECG variation of acute pericarditis.
