Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) said that South East Asia has a high stunting prevalence, where it is estimated that 22.2% of toddlers are stunted globally. The reality is that there are still many cases of inaccurate measurement methods, which question the validity of stunting prevalence. This study aims to know if small group training is effective in reducing stunting prevalence in toddlers. Methods: This descriptive study was done at all Posyandu in Bugul Lor from August to September 2019. Populations in this study were all helpers at Posyandu. Samples in this study were all helpers who met inclusive criteria but didn’t meet exclusive criteria. The inclusion criteria were helpers who attended when the study was conducted (5 helpers in each Posyandu), and the exclusive criteria were illiterate helpers. We used measurement guidelines from IDAI. The Group workshop started with a briefing about making sure that all tools were correctly set. Next, all helpers were asked to do height measurements, and if there was any error, we showed them how to do it correctly and let them do it again. We then compared the data before and after the intervention. Data from February 2019 were used as data before the intervention. Results: No helper in 10 Posyandu measured correctly. But after the group workshop, a helper from 8 Posyandu could measure correctly. Stunting prevalence in Bugul Lor decreased by about 4%. Conclusion: Group workshop seems to be effective in reducing stunting prevalence in toddlers.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is known as microvascular disease. DR is a common complication in type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients which can be a major cause of vision loss in the working age population. Several studies have reported several risk factors for DR hyperglycemia, duration of DM, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and diabetic nephropathy. The purpose of this study was to find out the description of DR patients who came to Sanglah Hospital in 2020 to increase awareness of risk factors related to DR. Method: This research is a descriptive study with an analytical cross sectional approach. Data were collected retrospectively by recording the characteristics of DR patients who came for treatment at the Eye Polyclinic of Sanglah Hospital Denpasar in 2020 based on medical records. Result: The research subjects were 80 patients with DR. Male patients dominate as much as 62.5%. Most of the participants were in the age group 50 – 59 years (37.50%). All patients who came for treatment at the Eye polyclinic of Sanglah Hospital Denpasar were type II DM patients with uncontrolled HbA1c levels (53.75%). Patients were dominated by PDR cases (73.75%), DME (53.75%) and blindness (63.75%). Conclusion: The results of data analysis showed that fair control and poor control HbA1c levels had an effect on the severity of the DR type and were statistically significant. Statistically significant decrease in visual acuity occurred based on the severity of type DR. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm other risk factors.   Pendahuluan: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) dikenal sebagai penyakit mikrovaskuler. DR merupakan komplikasi yang umum terjadi pada penderita Diabetes Mellitus (DM) tipe 1 dan tipe 2 yang dapat menjadi penyebab utama kehilangan penglihatan pada populasi usia kerja. Beberapa studi telah melaporkan beberapa faktor risiko terjadinya DR adalah hiperglikemia, durasi DM, hipertensi, obesitas, dislipidemia, dan diabetik nefropati. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui gambaran pasien DR yang berobat di RSUP Sanglah pada tahun 2020 untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan faktor risiko terkait DR. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan suatu penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi potong lintang (cross sectional) analitik. Data dikumpulkan secara retrospektif dilakukan dengan cara mencatat karakteristik pasien DR yang datang berobat di Poliklinik Mata RSUP Sanglah Denpasar pada tahun 2020 berdasarkan rekam medis. Hasil: Subjek penelitian berjumlah 80 pasien dengan DR. Dari 80 pasien DR tersebut, pasien laki-laki mendominasi sebanyak 62,5%. Sebagian besar partisipan berada pada kelompok usia 50 – 59 tahun (37,50%). Seluruh pasien yang datang berobat di poliklinik Mata RSUP Sanglah Denpasar adalah pasien DM tipe II dengan kadar HbA1c yang tidak terkontrol (53,75%). Pasien didominasi oleh kasus PDR (73,75%), DME (53,75%) dan mengalami kebutaan (63,75%). Simpulan: Hasil analisis data menunjukkan kadar HbA1c fair control dan poor control berpengaruh pada keparahan dari tipe DR dan signifikan secara statistik. Penurunan visus yang signifikan secara statistik terjadi berdasarkan keparahan tipe DR. Penelitian lebih lanjut dengan jumlah sampel yang lebih besar dibutuhkan untuk mengkonfirmasi faktor-faktor risiko lainnya.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of molluscum contagiosum (MC) was found to increase in the HIV population with a prevalence of 5-18%. Persistent molluscum lesions gradually increase in size. Some develop into giant, tumor-like, nodular lesions that can exceed 1 cm in diameter and cause esthetic defects in HIV-positive patients. Conventional treatment is usually not effective enough and requires additional therapy in immunocompromised cases. Case: A 31-year-old woman with stage IV HIV had the main complaint of a skin-colored rash near the genital area. Venereological examination found multiple papules with smooth, shiny surfaces with central umbilication discrete configuration and localized distribution. The molluscum body comes out after being squeezed. The treatment given is 20% potassium hydroxide spots on MC lesions every 24 hours topically. Two weeks after therapy was given, no new lesions were found without any side effects. Conclusion: Administration of 20% potassium hydroxide can be considered an MC treatment option in HIV patient with minimal side effects and is easy to use.   Latar Belakang: Prevalensi moluskum kontagiosum (MK) didapatkan meningkat pada populasi human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dengan prevalensi 5-18%. Lesi moluskum persisten yang secara bertahap bertambah besar, beberapa berkembang menjadi raksasa, seperti tumor, lesi nodular yang dapat melebihi diameter 1cm, dan dapat menyebabkan kecacatan secara estetik sering ditemui pada pasien dengan HIV positif. Pengobatan konvensional biasanya tidak cukup ampuh dan membutuhkan tambahan terapi lainnya pada kasus imunokompromais. Kasus: Seorang perempuan usia 31 tahun, HIV positif stadium IV dengan keluhan utama berupa bintil-bintil bewarna serupa kulit di dekat area genital, bila ditekan keluar bintik putih seperti nasi. Pemeriksaan venereologis ditemukan papul multipel permukaan licin berkilat dengan umbilikasi sentral konfigurasi diskret dengan distribusi lokalisata. Penatalaksanaan yang diberikan adalah tutul kalium hidroksida (KOH) 20% pada lesi MK setiap 24 jam topikal. Dua minggu setelah terapi diberikan tidak ditemukan adanya lesi baru dan tanpa adanya efek samping. Simpulan: Pemberian KOH 20% dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai pilihan terapi MK pada HIV dengan efek sampung minimal dan mudah digunakan.

Abstract

Background: Syphilis is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections every year. In mothers who do not receive treatment, transmission of infection from mother to fetus can occur, causing congenital syphilis. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of cases of congenital syphilis in Wangaya Hospital, Denpasar. Methods: This descriptive study used the medical records of pediatric patients at the Wangaya Hospital, Denpasar, for the period January 2020 to October 2021. The inclusion criteria used were newborns diagnosed with congenital syphilis with complete medical record data. The exclusion criteria used were newborns suffering from congenital syphilis accompanied by other infections, namely Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and other congenital disorders not related to syphilis. Results: Of the 47 study subjects who met the inclusion criteria, 68.1% of cases were asymptomatic and 31.9% symptomatic, 68.1% of term pregnancy, 31.9% preterm, low birth weight 29.8%, very low 4 .3%, and 66% normal body weight. Clinical manifestations found in symptomatic cases were respiratory distress (27.7%), jaundice/jaundice (21.3%), anemia (19.1%), skin lesions/rash (12.8%), sepsis (10 .6%), leukocytosis (10.6%), and thrombocytopenia (10.6%). Outcome of survival was 93.6% and death was 6.4% of cases. Conclusion: Most cases of congenital syphilis are asymptomatic. In symptomatic cases, the characteristic clinical manifestations that are often encountered are respiratory distress, jaundice, anemia, skin rash, sepsis, leukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia. Recognizing the characteristics of congenital syphilis cases early is very important to reduce mortality from the disease.   Latar Belakang: Sifilis merupakan salah satu infeksi menular seksual yang banyak terjadi setiap tahunnya. Pada ibu yang tidak mendapatkan pengobatan, dapat terjadi transmisi infeksi ibu ke janin sehingga menyebabkan kejadian sifilis kongenital. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran karakteristik dari kasus-kasus sifilis kongenital di RSUD Wangaya kota Denpasar. Metode: Penelitian deskriptif ini menggunakan rekam medis pasien anak di RSUD Wangaya kota Denpasar periode Januari 2020 hingga Oktober 2021. Kriteria inklusi yang digunakan adalah bayi baru lahir yang didiagnosis sifilis kongenital dengan data rekam medis yang lengkap. Kriteria eksklusi yang digunakan adalah bayi baru lahir yang menderita sifilis kongenital disertai infeksi lainnya, yaitu Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, maupun kelainan kongenital lain yang tidak berkaitan dengan sifilis. Hasil : Dari 47 subjek penelitian yang masuk di dalam kriteria inklusi, 68,1% kasus asimptomatik dan 31,9% simptomatik, kehamilan aterm 68,1%, kurang bulan 31,9%, berat badan lahir rendah 29,8%, sangat rendah 4,3%, dan berat badan normal 66%. Manifestasi klinis yang ditemukan pada kasus simptomatik, yaitu distres nafas (27,7%), ikterus/jaundice (21,3%), anemia (19,1%), lesi/ruam kulit (12,8%), sepsis (10,6%), leukositosis (10,6%), dan trombositopenia (10,6%). Luaran hidup 93,6% dan meninggal 6,4% kasus. Kesimpulan : Sebagian besar kasus sifilis kongenital tidak bergejala atau asimptomatik. Pada kasus bergejala, karakteristik manifestasi klinis yang sering ditemui adalah distres nafas, jaundice, anemia, ruam kulit, sepsis, leukositosis, dan trombositopenia.

Abstract

Introduction: Schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor that occurs more frequently in the peripheral nervous system than in the central nervous system. Spinal schwannomas are most frequently found in the thoracic or lumbar regions but are uncommon in the cervical region. This paper describes a cervical schwannoma that is associated with spastic tetraparesis. Case Presentation: A 50-year-old man presented with the primary complaint of having difficulty moving his upper and lower limbs. The patient is fully conscious and has a temperature of 36.2°C, a respiratory rate of 22 breaths per minute, and a pulse rate of 108 beats per minute. Neurological evaluation revealed bilaterally diminished strength in the superior and inferior extremities. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast revealed a grade 2 hernia nucleus pulposus (HNP) and an extramedullary-intradural mass in the anterior cervical vertebral canal region between C5 and C7, compressing and obliterating the cerebrospinal fluid spaces. A laminectomy was performed, and an intradural tumor mass in the C5-C7 region was obtained. Conclusion: Schwannomas, although rare, can cause spastic tetraparesis if they compress the cervical spinal cord.   Latar Belakang: Schwannoma adalah tumor selubung saraf jinak yang lebih sering terjadi di luar sistem saraf pusat. Schwannoma spinal dapat terjadi di regio thorakal atau lumbar, namun jarang terjadi pada regio servikal. Studi ini melaporkan schwannoma servikal yang menyebabkan tetraparese spastik. Presentasi Kasus: Seorang laki-laki umur 50 tahun datang dengan keluhan utama kedua anggota gerak atas dan bawah sulit digerakkan. Pasien sadar penuh dengan suhu 36,2°C, laju respirasi 22 kali per menit, nadi 108 kali per menit. Pemeriksaan neurologis menunjukkan adanya penurunan kekuatan ekstremitas superior dan ekstremitas inferior bilateral. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) servikal dengan kontras dan tanpa kontras menunjukkan hernia nucleus pulposus (HNP) grade 2 dan massa ekstramedular-intradural pada regio kanalis vertebra servical anterior setinggi C5-C7 yang menyebabkan kompresi dan obliterasi ruang cairan serebrospinal. Dilakukan laminektomi dan didapatkan massa tumor intradural C5-C7. Kesimpulan: Schwannoma, walaupun jarang, dapat menyebabkan tetraparese spastik jika menekan medula spinalis servikal.

Abstract

Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) is a type of growth factor that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-B) group. Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is recognized as one of the first commercially available osteoblast inductors. When new bone is needed, mesenchymal stem cells can develop into osteoblasts, which then implant as osteocytes in the bone, providing additional structure and support. The principal agent that differentiates stem cells into osteoblasts is BMP-2. BMP-2 will be released into the bone matrix or serum in performing their job. BMP-2 activates the SMAD1/5/8 signal via mediating the physiological action of type I and II serine/threoninekine receptors. The active SMAD protein will form a complex with the SMAD4 protein, translocate DNA to the nucleus, and bind to particular genes like Dlx-2/5, Osx, and transcription. According to a recent study, BMP-2 boosts osteogenic growth. BMPs are effective in the treatment of craniofacial defects in current research. The subjects of this paper are the molecular mechanism of BMPs and their involvement in the clinical application of craniofacial deformity patients.

Abstract

Background: An anaphylactic reaction is an emergency that can be life-threatening if not recognized immediately. Signs and symptoms that appear vary from mild to severe. After knowing that it is an anaphylactic reaction, it needs immediate action and special attention, especially from general practitioners who work in the emergency unit. Case presentation: In this scientific publication, three cases will be presented, all of which were found in the emergency room at Cikarang Medika Hospital, Bekasi. These cases of anaphylaxis vary in the onset of signs and symptoms, clinical manifestation, allergen, degree of severity, and therapeutic response. However, in these three cases, the initial management, which was an emergency, was the same for each patient, and all cases occurred at home; thus, education on anaphylaxis in the general community is vital, especially for the patients and their families. Conclusion: As a physician who works in the emergency room is essential to know how to quickly recognize the signs and symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction and carry out treatment as soon as possible so that patients can be helped. The first line treatment is Epinephrine and other treatment may follow after the first line has been given. It is essential that the public needs to know about the occurrence, the cause or trigger, and first aid (what they should do in the event of an anaphylactic reaction).

Abstract

Background: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is defined as increased erythrocyte destruction due to anti-erythrocyte autoantibodies with or without complement activation. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, which cause serious damage to various organs, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The impact of DM on a patient's survival with AIHA is unknown. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old woman complained of dizziness and fainting before admission. The patient looked pale; on physical examination, we found jaundice on the sclera. This patient was diagnosed with AIHA and DM with increased HbA1c (10.8%) since 2017 but did not take the anti-diabetic drugs regularly. Hematological examination showed anemia, increased reticulocytes, and a positive direct Coombs test. The result of increased fasting glucose, 2 hours OGTT, and HbA1c levels (4.6%) tests were not relevant to hyperglycemia. In this patient, we also found normal C-peptide levels. The decrease in HbA1c levels was thought to be due to hemolytic anemia; therefore, HbA1c was falsely low due to rapid erythrocyte turnover. Conclusion: This patient was diagnosed with DM based on American Diabetes Association criteria with normal C-peptide levels, suggesting Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young with HbA1c incompatibility with glucose levels may be due to rapid erythrocyte turnover.

Abstract

Background: Community pneumonia referred to as community acquired pneumonia is pneumonia that is often found in the community and the leading cause of death for infectious diseases. This pneumonia requires therapy with antibiotics. One of the main problems in using antibiotics is the occurrence of antibiotic resistance. This study aims to determine the profile of antibiotic use in patients with community acquired pneumonia, which is commonly referred as acquired pneumonia in the community. Methods: This study is a literature review that uses articles with a randomized controlled trial design and articles in Indonesian or English and has a publication year, namely the last 10 years. The keywords used were "Treatment" AND "Community acquaired pneumonia" AND "Antibiotic or Antimicrobial" AND "Mortality OR Clinical response OR Severity". Results: The quality of journals in this study was assessed by means of a critical appraisal skills program checklist and journal reputation. The results obtained were 9 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The antibiotic that is often used in outpatient community acquired pneumonia without comorbidities is nemonoxacin 500 mg and in non-severe hospitalized patients the commonly used antibiotic is beta-lactam monotherapy. Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is that the antibiotic that is often used in outpatient CAP patients is Nemonoxacin 500 mg while inpatient CAP is beta-lactam monotherapy so that in both groups the use of antibiotics is not in accordance with the 2019 ATS guidelines therefore requires monitoring the use of antibiotics in patients with community acquired pneumonia.   Latar belakang: Pneumonia komunitas atau biasanya disebut dengan community acquired pneumonia yaitu pneumonia yang sering didapatkan di masyarakat dan merupakan penyebab kematian penyakit menular tertinggi. Pneumonia ini membutuhkan terapi dengan menggunakan antibiotik. Salah satu masalah utama dalam penggunaan antibiotik adalah terjadinya resistensi antibiotik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil penggunaan antibiotik pada pasien community acquired pneumonia atau biasanya disebut dengan pneumonia yang didapatkan di komunitas. Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan kajian literatur yang menggunakan artikel dengan desain randomized controlled trial dan artikel yang menggunakan bahasa Indonesia atau bahasa inggris dan memiliki tahun publikasi yaitu 10 tahun terakhir. Kata kunci yang digunakan adalah "Treatment" AND "Community acquaired pneumonia" AND “Antibiotic or Antimicrobial” AND “Mortality or Clinical response or Severity”. Hasil : Kualitas jurnal pada penelitian ini dinilai dengan checklist critical appraisal skill program dan  reputasi jurnal. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah 9 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Antibiotik yang sering digunakan pada pasien community acquired pneumonia rawat jalan tanpa komorbiditas adalah nemonoxacin 500 mg dan pada pasien rawat inap non severe antibiotik yang sering digunakan adalah monoterapi beta-laktam Kesimpulan : pada penelitian ini adalah Antibiotik yang sering digunakan pada pasien CAP rawat jalan adalah Nemonoxacin 500 mg sedangkan pada  CAP  rawat inap  adalah monoterapi beta-laktam sehingga pada kedua kelompok tersebut penggunaan antibiotik tidak sesuai dengan guideline ATS tahun 2019 sehingga masih membutuhkan pengawan penggunaan antibiotik pada pasien community acquired pneumonia.

Abstract

Background: Chronic osteomyelitis is still an important problem in the orthopedic field, especially in developing countries. Cat's claws contain many harmful microorganisms and can cause significant morbidity ranging from infection of skin tissue, muscle, and even deeper to bone tissue (osteomyelitis). The aim of this study was to report that injuries caused by cat-scratches and not receiving proper treatment can develop into chronic osteomyelitis. Case presentation: A 14-year-old boy came to the orthopedic polyclinic of Wangaya General Hospital with complaints of a left leg wound that had not healed since 2 years ago after got cat-scratches. The wound was oozing pus, tenderness, and the ankle area was found to be difficult to move because the patient's leg felt stiff. On physical, laboratory, and radiographic examination were found to be suggestive of chronic osteomyelitis. Conclusion: In general, cat scratch injuries are simple and harmless wounds, but if left untreated can lead to infection and morbidity in the future. Persistent symptoms and unrelieved wound conditions should be important indications for patients and practitioners of the possibility of infection that extends to soft tissue or bone tissue. A good understanding of acute wound management is very important in preventing serious infections.   Latar belakang: Osteomielitis kronik masih merupakan masalah penting di bidang ortopedi terutama di negara berkembang. Pada cakaran kuku kucing mengandung banyak mikroorganisme berbahaya dan dapat menyebabkan morbiditas yang signifikan mulai dari infeksi jaringan kulit, otot, bahkan lebih dalam sampai mengenai jaringan tulang (osteomielitis). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melaporkan cidera yang disebabkan oleh cakaran kucing dan tidak mendapatkan pengobatan dengan baik dapat berkembang menjadi osteomielitis kronis. Laporan kasus: Seorang anak laki-laki berusia 14 tahun datang ke poliklinik ortopedi RSUD Wangaya dengan keluhan luka kaki kiri yang tidak kunjung sembuh sejak 2 tahun yang lalu, luka mengeluarkan nanah, nyeri tekan, serta pada daerah ankle ditemukan sulit untuk digerakkan yang dikarenakan kaki pasien terasa kaku. Pada pemeriksaan fisik dan laboratorium ditemukan mengarah pada osteomielitis kronis.  Simpulan: Pada umumnya cidera cakaran kucing hanya luka sederhana dan tidak berbahaya, tetapi jika diabaikan dapat menyebabkan infeksi dan morbiditas dikemudian hari. Gejala yang menetap dan kondisi luka yang tidak membaik harus menjadi indikasi penting bagi penderita dan praktisi terhadap kemungkinan infeksi yang meluas ke jaringan lunak ataupun jaringan tulang. Pemahaman yang baik tentang penanganan luka akut menjadi sangat penting dalam mencegah terjadinya infeksi yang serius.
