Abstract

Pilonidal sinus is a common chronic disease of the sacrococcygeal region. Treatment varies according to the clinical presentation of the disease. Although many surgical methods have proposed, the ideal approach is still lacking due to high recurrence rates. This study aimed to evaluate the role of Z-plasty in achieving primary recovery in pilonidal disease and morbidity and recurrence. Twenty-four patients (15 males and nine females) who underwent sinus excision and Z-plasty closure for the sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus included in this study. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 12 months. There were 15 males and nine females with a median age of 16 years. The mean hospital stay was two days. There was no recurrence, and all patients were satisfied with the cosmetics. Two patients (5%) had numbness on the flap. No flap necrosis observed in any patient. Only three patients had a wound infection (7.5%). Wound seroma developed in five patients (12.5%). Although some technical expertise is required, excision of sinus and Z-plasty provides superior results in terms of recurrence and hospitalization of pilonidal sinus patients during hospitalization.

Abstract

The hyoid is a U shaped bone with a backward concavity. Locates at the lower edge of the mandible and lies parallel to the floor — functions as an attachment point for muscles and soft tissues of head and neck. The aim is to examine the variations and ossification of the hyoid. This study was performed retrospectively in 2010 - 2013 on 200 CT images. 3D volume rendering images of pure hyoid bone created from the axial CT images in 1 mm slice thickness. The morphological variation count was 23; ossification variations were 9 cases. No difference observed by gender, but there are differences between the age groups for ossification. Ossification rates were found as; partial 34 %, unilateral 33%, complete 22%, early 11%. Most of the morphologic variation were belong to minor horn (57%), variations of major horn were 30%. The clinical importance of hyoid bone has realized in recent years. Due to the close relationship of this bone with the muscles, ligaments, fascias, sternum, clavicles, its dysfunction can lead to general problems. Studies about the variations of hyoid bone found to be quite low, and we believe that our research will contribute to the content of literature.

Abstract

Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS) is one of the frequent causes of mortality and morbidity, but its etiology remains unclear. COL4A1 and COL4A2 mutations are monogenetic causes of weakness of the basement vascular membranes resulting in cerebral small-vessel disease, cerebral hemorrhage, and porencephaly. We hypothesized that variations in the COL4A1 and COL4A2 genes cause PAIS and performed mutation screening of these genes in 17 PAIS patients by whole-exome sequencing. Clinical, demographic, and laboratory data of the 17 PAIS patients were obtained by evaluating hospital files retrospectively. Patients included in the study were invited to the clinic for COL4A1 and COL4A2 mutation analysis. Results: The patient group consisted of 13 females (76.5%) and four males (23.5%) with a mean age of 107.4 ± 11.5 months. Maternal/fetal and prothrombotic risk factors identified in 52.9% and 94.1% of the patients, respectively. Whole-exome sequencing analysis did not reveal COL4A1 and COL4A2 pathological mutations in any of the patients. Although we did not find an association between PAIS and COL4A1 and COL4A2 variations, we believe that new studies with larger patient populations may reveal such a relationship.

Abstract

Most patients rely on the internet to access a medical information source. Patients undergoing surgery use the internet and social media to gain information about anesthesia and surgery. In our study, it has dealt with the use of the internet and social media for news in patients who will undergo surgery and the impact of age and education on this situation. Every patient who came to our clinic for surgery between August 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 was asked to complete a survey preoperatively. This questionnaire includes questions about internet use. The rate of using the internet as the source of anesthesia information was 24.3% in young patients, this rate found to be 7% in the middle age patients, and none of the elderly patients used the internet as the source of anesthesia information. In terms of operation information, the rate of those using internet as a source of information in the young patients was 29.7%, whereas it was 14% in the middle age patients, and the rate was 5.3% in the elderly patients. Some of the patients (21%) who came to the clinic used internet and social media as a source of information. This study has been found useful in the sense that anesthesiologists and surgeons send information about themselves on the internet and be accessible via social media.

Abstract

Malassezia furfur is very easy to infect the skin of people who are often in damp places with higher water content for a long time. One of the plants that can add to inhibit the growth of Malassezia furfur is basil. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of Malassezia furfur mushroom growths formed on the SDA media with the addition of basil powder concentrations of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% on day 5. The method used in this study was experimental with a post-test research design with control. The material used is the leaves of basil plants obtained from basil plantations in Sukamara Village, Landasan Ulin Banjarbaru, Indonesia. The results of the study, Malassezia furfur, grew in all concentrations with a creamy colony, smooth and soft texture with sizes between 1-2 mm and microscopically obtained hyphae and spores. The conclusion of this study, Malassezia furfur mushroom growth in all concentrations of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% with the results of the number of colonies in a row that is 798 colonies, 755 colonies, 661 colonies, 622 colonies. The results showed a decrease in the name of colonies, with each increase in concentration.

Abstract

Citrus hystrix D.C. is a citrus-type citrus tribal plant, one of the most favored and developed fruits by the people of South Kalimantan Indonesia. Citrus hystrix D.C. contains useful chemical compounds, one of which is flavonoids, which function as antibacterial and play a critical role in inhibiting bacterial growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of Citrus hystrix D.C. juice at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% concentration on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. This research is experimental with Posttest Only Control Group Design. The material used was local Citrus hystrix D.C., fresh and clean green, obtained from the Astambul area, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Indonesia. The results showed that there was a zone of inhibition of Citrus hystrix D.C. juice on Staphylococcus aureus growth which began at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% concentrations of 13.75mm, 17.25mm, 19.75mm, and 21.75mm, so it can conclude that the juice of Citrus hystrix D.C. influences the growth of Staphylococcus aureus which has the largest inhibitory zone at a concentration of 100%.
