Abstract

Background: Corticosteroids are derivatives of steroid hormones that have the effect of inhibiting the inflammatory response. Glucocorticoid is the type of corticosteroid that is easy to obtain and has a high anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, glucocorticoids are often used in various therapies. However, the use of this drug should be monitored since its side effects can be harmful to the health as paralytic effects or even lethal effects. Purposes: This study aims to determine the behavior of using oral corticosteroids in patients at the Bebita Cicurug Clinic, Sukabumi. Methods: This is a descriptive quantitative research study. Data collection was done from September to December 2019. The respondents of this study were 96 subjects of Bebita Cicurug Clinic with a history of oral glucocorticoid usage. The data was taken using a questionnaire and medical records. Result: The most widely used glucocorticoid type is Methylprednisolone 4 mg and dexamethasone 0,5 mg. Overall, 89.6% of respondents used corticosteroids for a week or less. A total of 21.9% had tried to get corticosteroids without a prescription (self-medication), and all of them didn't get restricted on purchasing corticosteroids. Conclusion: In general, patients in this study had good behavior in using corticosteroids (using steroids according to a doctor's prescription), but 21.9% had tried to get corticosteroids without a prescription, and all of them didn't get restricted on purchasing corticosteroids. Doctors and health workers must clearly explain prescribed drugs' benefits and side effects, especially in patients with chronic diseases. Then ensure that the patient has understood the benefits and side effects of the medications used.

Abstract

Bartholin's cyst is a form of cystic (fluid-filled) tumor on the vulva. Bartholin's cyst is a cyst that forms due to blockage of the Bartholin's gland duct, which causes retention and cystic dilatation. Reports indicate that a 45-year-old woman came to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Polyclinic at Pertamina Bintang Amin Hospital, Malahayati Bandar Lampung, experiencing a recurrence of a left Bartholini abscess for the third time after two external incisions. The treatment carried out in this patient was given antibiotics and analgesics and it was recommended to do surgery with an extirpation procedure. Recurrent Bartholin's gland abscesses in women of reproductive age are generally associated with a risk of contact with sexually transmitted infection polymicrobials. Needle aspiration and incision and drainage are the two simplest procedures, not recommended because of the relatively increased recurrence rate.

Abstract

Background:  Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is an emerging disease that has become pandemic. Healthcare workers are vulnerable persons due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Healthcare workers are a government priority in the COVID-19 vaccine program. Antibody titer evaluation to healthcare workers as the first liner is essential due to the risk of the job. Purposes: The study aims to assess IgG antibody humoral response in healthcare workers in the emergency unit of Anton Soedjarwo Hospital, Pontianak, before and after the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: This study was a descriptive study with a cohort method. Twenty-two healthcare workers in the Emergency Unit in Anton Soedjarwo Hospital, Pontianak, participated in the study. Three ml venous blood samples were collected from the participants in two periods to quantify IgG antibody titer. The first period was before the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and the second period was one month after the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) methods were used to quantification IgG antibodies against spike-receptor binding domain (S-RBD) protein of SARS-CoV-2 Results: One month before the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the majority of IgG antibodies show seropositivity (90.91%), with most on range 50-10,000 AU/ml (54.55%). Two participants (9.09%) show IgG antibodies less than 50 AU/ml (seronegative). One month after the third vaccination dose, all participants (100%) elicit IgG antibodies. Based on the comparison of IgG antibody titer before and after the third dose of the vaccine, the majority (68.18%) showed increasing the IgG antibody titer after the third vaccine.  Conclusion: The third dose vaccine might effectively elevate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract

Background: Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a source of antioxidants with high content of polyphenols and anthocyanins. Grape skin is rich in flavonoids. Anthocyanins and flavonoids have the effect of lowering blood triglyceride levels. Purposes: This study aimed to determine the effect of using green grape extract (GGE) in lowering triglyceride levels in the blood. Methods: Five groups of white male rats (Rattus novergicus) were divided into a negative control group (KN), positive control (KP), rats with a GGE dose of 100 mg/200g BW as P1, rats with a GGE dose of 250mg/200g BW as P2, and rats with GGE dose of 500 mg/200g BW as P3. Each group was given a hypercholesterolemic diet for five weeks. Groups P1, P2, and P3 were given GGE according to their respective doses for 14 days, then measured triglyceride levels in the blood. Results: The results showed that GGE 500mg/200g BW significantly reduced triglyceride levels in all treated mice. Conclusion: These results indicate that GGE has a great potential to treat dyslipidemia by lowering triglyceride levels in the blood.

Abstract

The popliteal ganglion, also known as Baker's cyst, is an abnormal, fluid-filled distension of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa. These cysts rarely manifest alone and are often associated with intra-articular pathology and inflammatory conditions, such as osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, and rheumatoid arthritis. A 60-year-old woman came to the surgery clinic of Dr. Sayidiman Magetan hospital with complaints of lumps in the left knee crease. The patient noticed a lump in the crease of her left knee for two months. The patient said she did not feel pain in the lump, but the patient sometimes felt stiffness in the lump area when the patient worked in the fields. The localization status on inspection showed a mass in the popliteal area of the knee, which was round and well-defined. On palpation there is no pain, and can be moved mobile. Non-medical management is surgery/extirpation of the tumor mass.
