Abstract

Wilson’s disease is a disease that results from a genetic disorder that causes copper accumulation. Wilson’s disease has presented challenges for physicians during the last century, but it can be diagnosed and treated over time. Diagnosing Wilson’s disease is challenging for doctors because of its wide range of clinical manifestations and complexity. Studies that can help diagnose Wilson’s disease include a 24-hour copper urine examination and neurological tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, and liver function tests. There is also a scoring system to help medical personnel diagnose this disease. Correct diagnosis and adequate therapy can be provided, such as penicillamine, trientine, zinc, and, most rarely, liver transplantation. It is also necessary to monitor the side effects of treatment and its effectiveness of treatment. When receiving therapy, Wilson’s disease has a better prognosis than if it is not treated.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary liver cancer is the sixth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide in 2020, with approximately 906,000 new cases and 830,000 deaths. Primary liver cancer includes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a percentage of 75%-85% of cases. The poor prognosis of HCC is mainly related to late diagnosis.Methods: This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional study. Data retrieval is taken from secondary data in the form of medical record data. The sampling technique used was the total sampling technique.Results: The number of HCC patients in the Internal Medicine Inpatient Room at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital for 1 January 2017–31 December 2019 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was 60. The male sex had the highest number of 43 patients (71.7%), with the highest age group being 50-59 years old.Conclusion: Profile of HCC patients in the Internal Medicine Inpatient Room at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital for the 2017-2019 period, the largest age group was 50-59 years, dominated by male sex, the most risk factors were HBsAg positive, high liver function tests, high tumor markers, and had BCLC stage C. The patient had a live clinical outcome.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Various epidemiological studies have shown a trend of increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus in various parts of the world. Therefore, diabetes mellitus is currently a global health threat. Dandang gendis (Clinacanthus nutans) is a widely used plant as a traditional herbal treatment in Indonesia, and it has been proven that the ethanol extract of dandang gendis leaves shows an antidiabetic effect. This research aims to determine the compatibility among the flavonoid compounds in C. nutans with Aldose reductase, glucokinase, and GSK3β target drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus using in silico method.Methods: 45 compounds were obtained from multiple sources. The screening method used Lipinski’s rule of five and Pyrx until 8 compounds were selected. Avogadro, AutoDock 4.2, and Biovia Discovery Studio 2016 were used for molecular docking and visualization analysis.Results: Molecular docking results demonstrate that the ligand-protein interaction’s binding energy was -7.31 to 35.25 kcal/mol for 1AH3, -7.55 to 0.15 kcal/mol for 1V4S, and -7.99 to -2.85 kcal/mol for 3D0E.Conclusion: We can conclude that flavonoid compounds Apigenin, Vitexin, 3,3-di-O-Methylellagic Acid, and Clinacoside C show a high binding affinity with Aldose Reductase, Glucokinase, and GSK3β proteins and have the potential to be oral antidiabetic drug compounds for Diabetes Mellitus. However, its binding affinity has not been able to exceed that of the native ligand of the protein. Further research is needed to determine the significant efficacy and potential as an antidiabetic.

Abstract

Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a big public health problem worldwide. Although TB most commonly affects the lungs, any organ or tissue can be involved. TB arthritis is a rare form of extra-pulmonary TB. TB arthritis usually manifests as mild and non-specific arthritis. A 35-year-old male was admitted to the emergency room of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya due to pain of left knee since two days prior to admission. His symptom began on previous six months with the swelling of the left knee that gradually worsened so that he had an antalgic gait. Radiological examination of left knee joint showed inflammatory arthritis, accompanied by joint effusion and soft tissue swelling. USG examination of the left knee showed the presence of non-specific left knee arthritis. Patient underwent debridement. Anatomical pathology examination of the tissue obtained at the time of debridement, showed the TB granulomatous inflammation. The Ziehl-Nielson stain of left knee tissue also showed the TB granulomatous inflammation. Patient was then treated with analgesics and anti-TB drugs. The intensive phase of anti-TB therapy was planned to be 2 month, then evaluated and followed by continuation phase for about 7 months. The knee joint is the third most common site of osteoarticular TB after spine and hip. Insidious onset of pain which, in some patients may be present for years, is the usual presentation. The joint is usually warm, and wasting of the thigh muscles is usually marked. Synovial hypertrophy and effusion are present in most patients. The gold standard for diagnosis of TB arthritis is synovial biopsy, with positive results in 80% of cases. It shows caseating granulomas, lymphocytes, and giant cells with caseation, which are characteristics of TB arthritis. Synovial biopsy is generally recommended in any arthritis where clinical evaluation and routine investigations do not give a clear diagnosis.

Abstract

Radiation colitis (Radiation Proctitis or Proctopathy) is a condition in which injury to the rectal mucosa is induced by radiation therapy to the pelvic organs. Radiation colitis is a condition that progresses and is becoming more common and dangerous—usually occurring 6 months to 5 years following regional radiation. This paper presented the diagnosis and management of patients with radiation colitis. There was a patient who had cervical cancer and was hospitalized every 2-3 months because of red blood chapters and weakness. She did chemotherapy and radiation for one year. The patient also received medical therapy, including rectal administration of sucralfate and oral sulfasalazine. Management of patients with radiation colitis is still a problem. There are no definite and consistent guidelines for the treatment of radiation colitis In this patient's case, medical therapy was recently carried out, including rectal administration of sucralfate and oral sulfasalazine. The patient was planning to undergo surgical therapy, but the patient and family refused. It is necessary to think about endoscopic therapy in patients. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has become the most widely used first-line endoscopic therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: The main causes of MDR TB include interperson transmission and TB treatment failure. In addition to TB, HIV and diabetes mellitus may raise the risk of TB MDR. To determine the TB MDR risk factors, it's critical to understand the prevalence of TB MDR patients with TB, HIV, and diabetes mellitus histories.Methods: This study is an observational descriptive study with a retrospective design. The sample for this study was all patients from the TB and MDR-TB polyclinic at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, in January 2020–December 2020 who met the inclusion criteria. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively.Results: There were 72 patients who met the criteria: there were 26 patients who have a history of TB, 15 patients who only have a history of diabetes mellitus, 2 patients who only have a history of HIV, 27 patients who have a history of TB with diabetes mellitus, and 2 patients who have a history of TB with HIV.Conclusion: The data could support the theory of an association between MDR-TB with TB, HIV, and diabetes mellitus and increase the awareness of primary MDR TB cases with history of HIV and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Introduction: HIV AIDS patients who have a CD4 count < 200 cells/uL often complain of respiratory symptoms (Wallace, 1993). The complaint was shortness of breath (62%). Opportunistic infections (IO) in HIV patients are also brought on by a decreased CD4 count of 200 cells/uL (Peters, 2007). HIV/AIDS patients with CD4 < 200 cells/uL have a risk of death of 10.399 (Kusumaadhi, 2021). This study aims to determine the association between CD4 cell count with mortality in HIV patients with shortness of breath at Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya, during the period of January–December 2020.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional retrospective design. The population in this study were patients diagnosed with HIV at Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, using a total sampling technique. The variables studied were the CD4 counts as the independent variable, and the mortality of HIV patients with dyspnea as the dependent variable. The sample in this study must meet the inclusion criteria, namely, the sample must have a history of CD4 counts in their medical record in the last 2 to 3 months while in Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. Secondary data from medical record data in Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, was used for the research from January to December 2020. Results: A total of 128 HIV patients with dyspnea and a history of CD4 counts in the previous 3 to 4 months were included in the study: 79 (61.7%) males and 49 (38.3%) females. The most common age groups were 31–40 years (33.6%), 20–30 years (32.0%), 41–50 years (23.4%), and > 60 years (2.4%), with no patients under the age of 20. The distribution of the most opportunistic infections were: pneumocystis pneumonia (n = 62), tuberculosis (n = 49), and bacterial pneumonia (n = 17). Patients lived (n = 79) and died (n = 49) in total.Conclusion: There was no significant association between CD4 count and mortality in HIV patients with dyspnea (p-value 0.084 > 0.05).
