Abstract

Nutrition is a part of cancer management during therapy, recovery, remission, and recurrence prevention. Malnutrition and cachexia often occur in cancer patients and influence morbidity, mortality, and quality of life, especially in the advanced stage of malignancy. We reported a case of cutaneous lymphoma with anemia and hypoalbuminemia in the terminal condition. This case report focuses on nutritional therapy and palliative care on nutrition. We reported a case of a 40-year-old-man with Cutaneous Lymphoma (CL) and moderate protein-energy malnutrition that was developed to severe protein-energy malnutrition due to difficulty in dietary access. He had an eating problem because of multiple tumors and ulcers on his mouth. We provided access for parenteral nutrition from Central Venous Catheter (CVC) and orogastric tube (OGT) for enteral feeding. Even though the dietary target was never accomplished, there was a slight recovery on hypoalbuminemia and renal function during hospitalization. This case showed a considerable challenge in nutritional therapy due to limited dietary access. Since death was inevitable, we have tried different dietary access to provide adequate intake.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a risk factor of ischemic stroke, the prevalence of ischemic stroke in Indonesia is 34.1%. Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 70 increases in hypertension and acute phase of ischemic stroke. To determine differences of blood pressure (BP) and HSP 70 levels, related to the acute ischemic stroke severity. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was carried out in the Neurological Ward of Dr.M.Djamil Hospital and National Stroke Hospital, from May to September 2019. Inclusion criteria were obtained consecutively. BP was measured with a sphygmomanometer, stroke severity was measured by NIHSS, and HSP 70 levels was analyzed by the ELISA. Computerized statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS software version 23.0 for windows. The result was statistically significant if the p-value < 0.05. Results: There were 40 samples consisted of 26 (65%) male, mean age 59.78 years. The systolic BP ranging from 130 to 190 mmHg (median 160), the diastolic BP ranging from 70 to 100 mmHg (median 90), the HSP 70 levels ranging from 2.50 to 19.56 ng/mL (median 2.72). There were 18 patients with mild stroke and 22 patients with moderate stroke. There was no significant difference between systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and severity of stroke (p=0,369; p=0,221, respectively). There was no significant difference between HSP 70 levels and the severity of stroke (p=0,312). There was no relation between the degree of BP and HSP 70 levels. Conclusion: There were no significant differences of SBP, DBP, and HSP 70 with the acute ischemic stroke severity.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has now become a concern around the world. Until 6 September 2020, there were 190,665 cases in Indonesia, and it was in the third rank of most cases in the Asian region. It is important to determine the criteria of return to work for healthcare workers with Covid-19 positive in Indonesia. This case report discussed a female patient, 32 years old with chief complaint of fever and itchy throat since 2 days ago. She is a health care worker in the hospital, with a history of treating patients with positive confirmation of Covid-19 for 2 days in the ordinary ward before the case was confirmed with a history of contact approximately 5 days ago. The patient was diagnosed with positive confirmation of Covid-19 and was required for self-isolation. The patient still had positive results of RT-PCR Covid-19 up to the third examination in 30 days after the initial RT-PCR testing, although received specific antiviral treatment with oral oseltamivir and oral supplementation. Based on growing evidence that Sars-Cov-2 may not infectious for more than ten days in the mild-moderate disease, this case report is strengthening the use of symptom-based strategic approach to determine when to return to work in Indonesian healthcare workers with positive COVID-19.

Abstract

Testicular torsion (TT) is an emergency in urology that happens because of the spermatic cord’s rotation. Decreased of overall sperm parameters after TT often happens in which can endanger the patient’s fertility status. Approach on how to salvage the testicle and to prevent unwanted complications remains as the doctor’s greatest priority. We report a case of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia after surgical detorsion without orchidectomy in testicular torsion. A 19-year-old male, presenting with sudden, progressive, and continuous pain in the right testicle for 4 hours. The right testicle was larger in volume on physical examination, there were a negative phren sign and negative cremasteric reflex. Gray scale ultrasound without Doppler showed changes suggestive of testicular torsion. Emergency surgery revealed a dark-bluish right testicle with a 360o rotation of the spermatic cord. Detorsion without orchidectomy was performed with clinical judgment hoping for the restoration of testicular viability. Sperm analysis was done after one month and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia was found. Although some patients experience decreased overall sperm parameters after TT that perhaps making them infertile, interestingly there is no difference in pregnancy rates among couples with TT men when compared to the general population. The best testicular salvage surgery method to prevent testicular atrophy also has not been determined yet. Thus, the patient should be carefully counseled about the good outcome of pregnancy rate and the chance for testicular atrophy, regardless of what is the surgical choice.

Abstract

Joint United Nations Programme in HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) reported that 1.8 million children under 15 years old had HIV with 150,000 new pediatric cases in 2015, and only 49% had an antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Mortality in HIV-infected children with severe acute malnutrition was 30.4% in Africa. A 1-year and 8-months-old girl was hospitalized due to diarrhea, vomiting, oral thrush, and recurrent fever before admission. She has been hospitalized for HIV infection one month ago and treated with ARV. Her mother was treated with ARV before. Physical examination showed a severely ill, poorly nourished, stunting, and conscious child with normal vital signs. There was oral thrush. The evidence of nutritional marasmus was old man face, piano sign, wasting, and baggy pants. Laboratory findings revealed anemia, positive antigen and antibody of HIV infection, and low Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4). She was treated with ARV, Cotrimoxazole, and management of malnutrition and diarrhea. The prognosis of the patient was poor. A 1-year and 8-months-old girl with HIV infection complicated with severe acute malnutrition, acute diarrhea, oral thrush, and anemia of chronic disease were reported. The diagnosis was based on clinical and laboratory findings. Management focused on the therapy of HIV and accompanying illness. The prognosis was poor.
