Abstract

Background: Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition when food that had been ingested moves back up from the stomach to the esophagus periodically, causing heartburn. GERD cases that are followed up by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) can be diagnosed as Non-Erosive Reflux Disease (NERD) if there are no findings of mucosal damage at the esophagus. Objective: The objective is to study the overall prevalence of GERD and NERD patients on January until December of 2015, categorizing them according to age groups, gender, grade of esophageal mucosal damage according to Los Angeles grading, and also other EGD findings. Material and method: This is a descriptive research using secondary data collected from patients' medical record. Patients that are diagnosed as GERD or NERD are included as sample. Data are collected and processed by Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Result: A total of 122 medical records were collected, with 116 GERD patients and 6 NERD patients. There was increase of prevalence of GERD patients shown following the increase of age groups, while prevalence of NERD patients between age groups fluctuate. Both GERD and NERD patients are dominated by women, that is 62 patients (53.4%) and 5 patients (83.3%) respectively, compared to male, that is 54 GERD patients and 1 NERD patient. According to Los Angeles grading, the patients are mostly categorized as grade A (14.7%). However, there were 88 unclassified cases found so the result arguably needed a bigger sample and/ or data written in the medical record might not be clearly stated. The most dominant EGD finding in GERD patients was erosive gastritis (24.8%). Conclusion: There were 95% GERD patients and 5% NERD patients discovered in this study. The profile of GERD patients in this case was dominantly found in the age group of more than 50 years old, women, grade A, and with erosive gastritis in the EGD findings. The profile of NERD patients was not specific to a certain age group, but mostly found in women.

Abstract

Background: The association between nutritional status and dengue infection is still considered controversial. Researches that study obesity and shock in pediatric patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has been widely carried out. However, researches that study the association between obesity and the outcome of patients with dengue shock syndrome (DSS) are still rarely done. Objective: The objective was to study the association of obesity in body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age), gender, and age to the outcome of patients with dengue shock syndrome (recurrent shock or death). Materials and Methods: The research was analytical retrospective observational research with a case-control design using secondary data from the medical records of pediatric patients with DSS in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia during 2015. The analyses used to test the association of obesity (BMI-for-age), gender, age and the outcome of patients with dengue shock syndrome (recurrent shock or death) were the Chi-Square or Fisher Exact test. Results: The sample acquired was 60 data, consisting of 46 patients with DSS without recurrent shock or death and 14 pediatric patients with DSS experiencing recurrent shock or mortality. The frequency of boys and girls were found in equal numbers. Age group >5-10 years was found more common (45%). The results of the analyses test found no association between gender (p=0.542), age (p=0.314), and obesity (p=1.000) and the outcome of pediatric patients with dengue shock syndrome. Conclusion: There were no association found between obesity, age, and gender to the outcomes of pediatric patients with DSS at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Ibuprofen is one of the most used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) due to its ease of access without the need of prescription. However, ibuprofen may cause side effects associated with gastrointestinal mucosal injury. The discomfort caused when eating may cause nausea and loss of appetite which leads to weight loss. Objective: This study was done to prove changes in body weight after treatment of oral ibuprofen using mice as test subjects. Material and method: This study used pre-test post-test control group design. 33 female BALB/c mice were grouped into 3 groups (P1, P2, P3). P1 is a control group which was given aquadest as placebo, P2 was given 52 mg/kg body weight of oral ibuprofen and P3 was given 104 mg/kg body weight of oral ibuprofen. Treatment lasted for 15 days. Results were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test in IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Result: 80% of the mice had their body weights decreased with an average decrease of 0.91 g (±2.26) in group P1, average decrease of 2.2 g (±2.15) in P2, and average decreased of 4.11 g (±2.62) in P3. Statistical analysis showed that body weight changes of group P3 has significant difference (p = 0.009) compared to P1 and P2. Conclusion: It can be concluded that 104 mg/kg dose of oral ibuprofen caused a decrease in body weight of female mice.

Abstract

Background: People nowadays suffer from refractive disorder that declines the vision. The most common therapy to overcome this problem is to use glasses. The continuous use of glasses and the difficulties on disinfecting the entire surface can cause bacterial contamination. Those bacteria can cause various eye diseases. This fact pushed the researcher to find out if there were bacterial contaminants on glasses used by students of Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia, class of 2016. Objective: To prove the species of bacterial contaminants and pathogenic bacteria on glasses used by students of Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia class of 2016. Materials and Methods: Cotton swab moistened in sterile distilled water was swabbed to 30 glasses on its inside lens and the part touching the nose. The sample was then inoculated on blood agar and Mac Conkey, and incubated for 24 hours in 37oC. Then, the isolates were identified macroscopically and microscopically. Results: The whole sample that had been examined was contaminated with pathogenic bacteria with risk of causing eye diseases. Those bacteria were identified as Bacillus sp. (50%), Pseudomonas sp. (46%), Staphylococcus aureus (20%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (16%). Conclusion: The result of this research showed that there was contamination by bacteria on glasses used by students of Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Indonesia class of 2016. All bacteria found were pathogenic to the eye. This showed that glasses could become a reservoir of the pathogenic bacteria that could potentially cause recurring eye infection.

Abstract

Background: Obesity in pregnant women has been linked to negative outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. Gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and postpartum haemorrhage are all threats for mothers during pregnancy. These may also affect labor outcomes because fat accumulation in the pelvis makes obese pregnant women more likely to have a caesarean section. Objective: To analyze the outcome of maternal obesity in pregnancy in 2017. Materials and Methods: This was an analytic cross-sectional, observational study in pregnant women with obesity in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, within the period of January 1st – December 31st 2017 using medical records. Sample size was determined using cross-sectional sample size calculation with the result of n=162. After receiving approval of ethical clearance, medical records were collected and analyzed. The statistical analysis was done using chi-square test. Results: From a total of 162 subjects, most of the patients were 21-34 y/o (56.8%), under graduate (90.7%) and 58% of the subjects worked. Proportion of grade I, II and III were 60.5%, 22.2%, and 17.3%, and 67% suffered from complications such as PE, DM, PE with DM with percentages as follows: 56.2%, 4.9%, and 6.2%. Neonatal complications were preterm 42.6%, macrosomia 4.3%, stillbirth 4.9%, and low Apgar score 48.1%. No association was identified between maternal age and complications in grade I (p=0.764) and grade III (p=0.716). Obesity grades I and III had correlation with complications (p=0.035). Conclusion: No significant association was found between age and complications in grade III obesity, while there was significant correlation between obesity levels (grade I and grade III) and complications.
