Abstract

Drug-related problems (DRPs) is event that can interfere with the outcome of therapy. It can occur in various patient populations and ages. The DRPs in pediatric patients is found to be significantly frequent due to their vulnerable features. Many factors such as age, weight, body surface area should be considered during drug therapy in pediatric patients. The organs development continues for many years and the organs responsible for drug metabolism and elimination have not yet full capacity in pediatric patients. Antibiotics are often prescribed to pediatric patients. Several studies concerning DRPs on antibiotic therapy have been conducted in some countries. This review summarizes types, factors and impacts to the occurrence of DRPs on antibiotic therapy in pediatric patients.

Abstract

Asthma is an inflammatory airway disease characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness, reversible airflow limitation, and respiratory symptoms. Asthma affects 300 million people in developed countries. More than 10% of asthma complaints in children occur at school age. Asthma therapy in children using pharmacological agents is still the main choice until now. However, the response of pediatric patients to asthma treatment varies. In addition to age, organ function, and drug interactions, genetic factors are often associated with drug response variability. This variability can occur due to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in protein-coding genes that play a role in bioavailability and drug response. Understanding of pharmacogenomics as the basis of individualized medicine aims to avoid adverse drug reactions and maximize drug effectiveness. The existence of genetic variation allows the drug response between individuals to be different. Pharmacogenomics provides important information in individual-based medicine so that it can predict the existence of a population that can respond well to certain drugs and a population that has a higher risk of adverse drug reactions. Implementation of individual treatment can optimize treatment in patients because the dose of treatment and therapeutic options have been adjusted based on individual genetic characteristics.

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein that major cause of pregnancy-related maternal death. As pregnancy progresses, the risk of hypercoagulability increases, fibrinogen, factors VII, VIII, X and VWF (Von Willebrand Factor), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 are increases and 40-60% protein S decreases. Therefore, anticoagulant drugs are the mainstay of therapy for patients with VTE. The review aimed to select the best anticoagulant for pregnancy women with VTE. A scoping review was used. The type of articles reviewed were original articles obtained from four electronic journal databases published within 2012-2021. The main therapeutic agent recommended for use in the prevention and treatment of VTE in pregnancy is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). LMWH has better bioavailability than other anticoagulants, has a lower risk of maternal bleeding, thromboembolic, thrombocytopenia and osteoporosis. The use of LMWH is actually better, more comfortable and safety for patients.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that is becoming a global health problem. Hypertension can be identified by systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg and diastolic 90 mmHg . Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to complications such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, blindness, etc. According to Basic Health Research 2018 ( Ris et Kesehatan Dasar 2018/Ris kesdas 2018) the prevalence of hypertension for >18 years old wa s 8.4%, and through measurements taken in health care facilities by 34.1%. Prevalence in the city was 34.4%, in the village was 33.7%, while according to gender 31.3% f or male and 36.9% for female. The study aimed to find out the knowledge and awareness of laypeople on hypertension and its therapy. This was a cross-sectional online study with 11 questions. Respondents were recruited from social media groups. The results showed 5 00 respondents (62.8 % female and 37.2 % male) involved in this study . The most common age range was 21-40 years (36.2 %), followed by 41-55 years (38.2%) , and the least was 56-65 years old (18.4%). Seventy-two percent of respondents did not have hypertension, and 9% said they did not know. Fifty-three percent of respondents knew about the value of high blood pressure, and 89% of the respondents said hypertension should be treated regularly. The most hypertension complications answered by respondents were stroke (40%), heart attack (26%) , and heart failure (16%). Amlodipine was the most mentioned by the respondents, and the second was ACE-inhibitor. However, omeprazole and omega-3 were also mentioned as anti-hypertension. Genetic s and a high salt diet were risk factors that many respondents chose. In conclusi on, the r espondents have a good understanding of hypertension. Information related to behaviour is needed to discontinue the increasing prevalence.

Abstract

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes acute and chronic liver infections which can be treated by using interferon and antiviral. However, the treatment is relatively expensive. We reported here a case of a patient with chronic hepatitis B who had negative seroconversion without interferon (IFN) and antiviral treatment after herbal consumption. A retrospective investigation showed that the patient consumed Curcuma xanthorrhiza rhizome and Camelia sinensis green tea. These herbs were widely both in vitro and in vivo studied for their effects against HBV infection, although the clinical studies are limited. This case reported the effect of C. xanthorrhiza rhizome and C. sinensis green tea consumption in a patient with chronic hepatitis B. A female patient with chronic hepatisis B infection at the age of 32 y.o. had been taking neuro vitamins regularly for a year before infection detected. She was an asymptomatic patient with normal limits liver function, positive HBsAg and negative anti-Hbs. At the age of 45, she started taking C. xanthorrhiza rhizome simplicia equivalent to 5mg of curcumin twice daily and drinking C. sinensis green tea regularly. Six years later, HBsAg was not detected and her liver function remained within normal limits and Anti-HBs were detected 5 years later. In conclusion, the consumption of C. xanthorrhiza rhizome and C. sinensis green tea can against chronic hepatisis B infection by eliminate HBV dan induce anti-HBs.

Abstract

Indian jujube leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) have various potential biological activity. Previous studies have proven that ethanol extracted from Indian jujube (Z. mauritiana Lamk) leaves had analgesic activity. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid content and analgesic activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of Indian jujube (Z. mauritiana Lamk) leaves ethanol extract. Tested fraction was prepared by maceration using ethanol as solvent followed by fractionation using ethyl acetate. Identification of active compounds was performed using color reaction, and determination of total flavonoids by colorimetric method. Ethyl acetate fraction was further tested for its analgesic activity using the writhing method. Swiss-Webster white male mice were divided into 5 treatment groups consisting of negative control contained sodium-CMC, positive control contained sodium diclofenac, while groups 3-5 were given ethyl acetate fraction of Indian jujube (Z. mauritiana Lamk) leaves with doses of 50, 150, and 200 mg/kg BW. All interventions were administered as a single oral dose. 0.7% (w/v) acetic acid was used as a pain inducer. Analgesic activity was measured by calculating the percentage of writhing protection as a measure of the analgesic effect produced by each intervention. The data were analyzed using one-way Anova to compare analgesic activity between treatment groups. Results showed that ethyl acetate fraction of Indian jujube (Z. mauritiana Lamk) leaves at doses of 50, 150, and 200 mg/kg BW gave an effect that was not significantly different from sodium diclofenac as positive control. The ethyl acetate fraction of Indian jujube (Z. mauritiana Lamk) leaves ethanol extract contained flavonoids, saponin, and tannins with total flavonoid content of 22.41 ± 1.16% w/w. It can be concluded that the ethyl acetate fraction of Indian jujube (Z. mauritiana Lamk) leaves have analgesic activity in mice.

Abstract

Depression disorders are common in women of productive age, especially during pregnancy and peripartum period. Making a decision on the choosing of antidepressants is associated to the biggest concern about the risk of birth defects and major anomalies of their exposure. Decisions of antidepressant use not only involve considering the risks of medications exposure, but also the risks of untreated depression during pregnancy. Evaluation of the safety profile of selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which are commonly prescribed during pregnancy therefore urgently needed. This review aimed to compare two widely used SSRIs i.e. fluoxentine and sertraline as antidepressants for pregnant women with depression disorder. It is found that sertraline has more positive effects and more safe. Sertraline is well tolerated in pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers with depression disorder.

Abstract

Asthma is the most common comorbidity in pregnant women and gives 30% of exacerbation experience. The other 30% will see improvement of their symptoms, and the rest will not see the changes. Exacerbations have become a major clinical concern in pregnant women. Medical concerns for the mother and the childbirth included low birth weight, preeclampsia, and preterm delivery. The major goal is to keep asthma under control to ensure mother's health and well-being, as well as fetal growth. Controlling asthma and preventing exacerbations are the main goals of asthma treatment during pregnancy. Treatment for asthma should ideally begin before conception. This is to avoid day-time and night-time symptoms, as well as to keep lung function. Furthermore, fetal oxygenation is a crucial factor during the pregnancy. With a few exceptions, asthma drugs are basically the same in pregnancy as they are in non-pregnant people. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are often used as a controlling treatment. Budesonide is the recommended ICS. Short-acting β-agonist (SABA) preferable as reliever in acute asthma and to relieve exacerbation. As an add-on therapy for medium to high dose ICS, long-acting β-gonists (LABA) is often used. Virus infections and ICS nonadherence are the two most common causes of asthma exacerbations during pregnancy.
