Abstract

Background: Measles is one of the main causes of child mortality. In 2016 there were 6,890 cases of measles with 4 patients died in Indonesia. There were 122 cases in Jombang, East Java in 2009. Aim: To describe the clinical characteristics of measles in children patients at Mojowarno Christian Hospital, Jombang, East Java. Methods: A cross sectional study using secondary data from medical records at Mojowarno Christian Hospital, Jombang, East Java, in 2015-2015. Demographic and clinical characteristics were described using tables. Results: There are 22 cases of measles in children, 3 of them had not taken measles vaccination. Most cases occurred in between 0 to 5 years old (59.1%). The proportion of measles were equal between male and female. There is a higher proportion of patients with normal nutrition status (59.1%) compared to other with malnutrition (40.9%). The most common symptoms and signs are fever (95.5%), cough (23.7%), and coryza (22.3%). The leukocyte examination mostly shows normal results for leukocyte (63.6%) and lymphocyte (50%). Conclusion: Most of the cases were presented with milder symptoms, signs and laboratory examination. There is a high prevalence of undernutrition among the subjects, which need further attention from local governments. In addition, there is a concerning high proportion of vaccinated children contracting the disease.

Abstract

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain which occurs without any underlying pelvic organ diseases. There are several risk factors of dysmenorrhea, which are BMI, age at menarche, smoking habit, and family history. Female medical students are one population with a high risk of having dysmenorrhea with debilitating effect. Objective: To test the association between several risk factors with primary dysmenorrhea in female medical students in Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana (UKDW). Method: This is a cross-sectional study, gathering data from 207 female medical students enrolled in UKDW between September 2018 and January 2019. Further bivariate analyses were performed to test the association between dysmenorrhea prevalence and some risk factors using Chi-square test or Fischer exact test. Results: Out of 207 participants, 158 (76.33%) are diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea. 31.88 % of the samples are categorised into the underweight, overweight and obese group. The prevalence ratio of underweight and overweight group compared to the normal group resembles U-shape relationship, but not statistically significant (PR = 1.095; p = -.486, and PR 1.055; p = 0.826, respectively). Younger age at menarche (PR = 1.251, p = 0.014) and family history if dysmenorrhea (PR = 1.317; p = 0.002) show a higher prevalence rate compared to normal age group and no family history of dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Younger age at menarche and family history of dysmenorrhea should be considered as important risk factors, although they are not modifiable. The relationship between body mass index and dysmenorrhea need further investigation with a prospective approach.

Abstract

Background: Canes have been recommended as walking aids for knee osteoarthritis to reduce the loading on the affected knee. Patients are usually recommended to hold the cane in the contralateral hand to the affected knee. Nevertheless, some patients prefer to hold the cane ipsilateral to the affected knee. However, the effect of using ipsilateral or contralateral tripod cane on functional mobility in patients with knee osteoarthritis is still unknown Objective: To compare the immediate effect of ipsilateral and contralateral tripod cane usage on functional mobility in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis Method: This cross-sectional study involved 30 overweight or obese patients with symptomatic unilateral or bilateral knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren Lawrence grade 2 and 3) who never use a cane. Functional mobility was evaluated with Time Up and Go test in three conditions; without walking aid, with tripod cane contralateral and ipsilateral to the more painful knee. Results: The TUG time of aid-free walking is 4.75 (p < 0.001, 95% CI 3.79 - 5.71) seconds faster than ipsilateral cane use and 6.69 (p < 0.001, 95%CI 5.35 - 8.03) seconds faster than contralateral cane use. The TUG time of ipsilateral cane use is 1,94 (95% CI, 1.13 - 2.79) seconds faster than contralateral. Conclusion: Patients with symptomatic knee OA who use tripod cane ipsilateral to the more painful knee have higher functional mobility than the contralateral.

Abstract

This book has thoroughly described the achievements, critiques, and challenges in the future of the Indonesian health insurance architecture. The author describes his vision of the ideal universal health coverage (UHC) for the country impeccably. His experience as a general practitioner and public health practitioner since the early days of national insurance establishment has shaped his writing style. The author opens with an introduction to the principles of health insurance, such as the aggregation of funds and insurance risks. He also describes the health insurance scheme in various countries before discussing Indonesia’s situation. The historical development of Indonesian health insurance is aptly presented. Its concepts, albeit under frequent changes are presented as though they have already manifested in architecture. Detailed programmes of the national health insurance, which is organised by BPJS Kesehatan (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial Kesehatan) are presented with its challenges and difficulties. The frequent adjustment of fund collection and service payment scheme (e.g. the utilisation of case-based group method to replace the diagnosis-related group in service payment scheme) is also described thoroughly. Outstanding claim with a lag of payment time to the service providers is another example of the system shortcoming mentioned in this book. The author emphasises on the breadth of primary care coverage which includes government-owned primary health care centred and private general practitioners’ clinics. Regardless of the valuable information on the national insurance scheme, there is a lack of the definition and the systematic description of the “architecture” terminology. The readers might need a further picture of the dynamics of a new-born UHC system. The book seems to be directed to the general readers, yet placing more sophisticated knowledge which suitable for higher education students from health or medical discipline. This warrants further clarification on the scope of the audience and reorganises the contents accordingly. There is a potential for utilisation for educational purposes, where the chapter organisation may be modified to the number of periodic class sessions, including a chapter dedicated to changing issues and future challenges. The author has incorporated actual data, visualised in various graphs. However, the print quality is lacking so the readers might difficult to interpret them. The general population needs enticing figures, while the academic audience would prefer detailed graphics and data tabulation. In addition, there are important changes in the insurance policy between print date and this review, such as the significant change in insurance premium. This issue is quite important to be added in the future revisions. The reviewer deems the book important. The book itself has its own architecture, achievement, critiques, and challenges. Despite the effort to reach readers from the general population, the medical and health finance policy students would be the most benefited audience. This book is a good introduction to more advanced topics in the health insurance discipline, with routine revisions on dynamic changes in Indonesian healthcare insurance architecture.

Abstract

Background: Multiplex PCR examination is one of the molecular examination methodologies applied to detect soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection. Optimization of the multiplex PCR method is a complex process, but it is necessary to obtain both a correct detection process and a satisfactory DNA product. Objective: To determine whether multiplex PCR can be optimized to diagnose STH from Indonesian isolates, and to find the optimal method for detection of A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, and N. americanus infections in stool that have been stored for 3 years. Methods: A total of 15 samples were examined, and these samples were previously examined by using a microscopic method, then continued with optimization steps. Result: The optimal PCR mixture used primers targeting COI gene for A. lumbricoides, 18S rDNA for T. trichiura and ITS1 for N. americanus, 15 µl of Go Taq Green Master Mix, 5 µl of the 3 pairs of primers, 5 µl of DNA template and 4 µl of DdH2O, and the condition was 30 minutes of 950C denaturation, 30 second of 530C annealing and 1 minute of 720C extension, repeated for 35 cycles. Conclusion: Multiplex PCR can be optimized for STH detection from Indonesian isolates. The successful detection using the multiplex PCR method was influenced by sample preparation prior to DNA isolation, which includes several steps i.e. homogenization of samples using bead beaters and passing samples on liquid nitrogen rapidly.

Abstract

Background: Tubercular meningitis in children poses a diagnostic challenge, either for its detection and follow-up. Neuroimaging is essential in the diagnosis process and early identification of complication or sequelae. Computed tomography (CT) scan is widely available in secondary and tertiary hospitals in Indonesia, which would improve the management of paediatric tubercular meningitis case. Objective: To describe the clinical progression of a child with tubercular meningitis from detection to sequelae at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Case description: A 7-year-old boy was admitted to the emergency unit with acute headache, vomiting, and prolonged fever. Tuberculosis transmission indicated from the mother, which on TB treatment. Non-contrast multi-sliced computed tomography (MSCT) scan was performed on the first-day admission, on the 8th day of admission, before and after VP-shunt procedure for life-threatening hydrocephalus and the follow-up. There was an obvious disease progression shown by CT scan from the early stage, the onset of hydrocephalus, deteriorating hydrocephalus, and post-VP-shunt procedure. The periventricular infarct extended over time, concordant with worsening symptoms. Conclusion: Paediatric tubercular meningitis diagnosis relies on accurate neuroimaging studies to identify the specific sign. In the disease progression, the sign as early as slight hyperdensity should lead to meningitis diagnosis, and earlier treatment of hydrocephalus might prevent further debilitating sequelae or even fatal complications of tubercular meningitis.

Abstract

Background: Ischaemic stroke is caused by various aetiology. Cryptogenic stroke diagnosis is established when no aetiologies are discovered although clinical manifestations are consistent with acute stroke. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is one neuroimaging modalities which could be useful in exploring aetiology instead of excluding intracranial haemorrhage. There are many conflicting pieces of evidence of the benefit using DW-MRI to confirm the presence or the absence of brain lesions. Objective: To report a clinical case of ischemic stroke with negative evaluation on advanced neuroimaging studies (DW-MRI). Case Description: A female, 35 years old, presented to the emergency unit with a 6 hours history of prickling sensation before admission. There were no risk factors of stroke, and no other neurological symptoms. The neurologic examination reveals left hemihypesthesia, with normal results on laboratory examination for stroke risk factors and negative ischemic lesion on brain DW-MRI. Explorative examination on cardiac aetiologies was negative. Patient was given a standard regimen for acute stroke management despite the negative results and established as a cryptogenic stroke case. Conclusion: Diagnosis of ischemic stroke should rely mainly on clinical findings, with consideration of cryptogenic stroke when there is no aetiology found after thorough examination. Nevertheless, comprehensive examination on cardiac function and coagulation tests should be performed whenever possible to determine the cause of ischaemic stroke.
