Abstract

Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that is incurable and results in paralysis of the muscles. Electromyography (EMG) is used to diagnosis amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although recently there is no cure for ALS, knowledge has increased significantly in the past several years and is helping those who are newly diagnosed.Methods: This study reported for the first time in Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran-Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung a 58-year old man who was presented in the institution with a history of weakness of both lower extremities for four months preceded by weakness of both upper extremities since the previous month. There was no history of any medical illness or any chronic medication. The patient then underwent EMG studies, followed by muscle biopsy.Result: Electromyography and histopathological results confirmed a diagnosis of ALS.Conclusion: This case was so exceptional, since ALS occurrence in Neurosurgery Centre is extremely rare, and the diagnosis can only be established through EMG and histopathological of muscle biopsy studies.Keywords: The fist reported of ALS in Neurosurgery Bandung, electromyography studies

Abstract

Objective: To observe triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) characteristics in three hospitals located in Bandung based on basal-like (BL) and non-basal-like (NBL) subtypes.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which used descriptive categorical data from medical records and paraffin blocks of TNBC patients treated in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung; Borromeus Hospital; and Santosa Hospital Bandung Central in the period of January 1, 2012–December 31, 2016. The subjects of the study were 57 TNBC patients. The data collected in the study based on medical records were age, tumor size, histopathological images, severity, and immunohistochemical data. The paraffin blocks of the patients based on the completed medicals records were investigated through examinations of immunohistochemichal cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 expressions and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).Results: Prevalence of TNBC were 82.5% of basal-like subjects and 17.5% of non-basal-like subjects. Among the TNBC subjects, median age of each subtype was 50 years of basal-like subtype and 45 years of non-basal-like subtype. Both subtypes were mostly found in the subjects who aged >40 years. Higher histopathological grade was discovered in both subtypes. The therapy mostly carried out to the subjects was adjuvant chemotherapy. Majority of basal-like subtype subjects were still alive and had longer survival rate and lower incidences of deaths when compared to the non-basal-like subtype.Conclusion: In TNBC, the basal-like subjects showed greater median age, lower severity stage, and longer survival rate than the non-basal-like subjects. There was no histopathology grade between both subtypes. Keywords: Basal-like and non-basal-like subtypes, breast cancer, characteristics, triple negative

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the differences of social determinant factors among elderly according to gender, in urban and rural areas in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the most populated countries in the world,  faces an increased number of elderly. This situation leads to the increase of degenerative diseases and demands of caregivers as well. The identification of social determinant factors of elderly has an important role in enhancing primary health care.Methods: A comparative study was carried out in 33 provinces in Indonesia using secondary data from Statistics Indonesia 2013. The variables included in this study were percentage of elderly according to  education, marital status, occupation, income and living arrangements, divided in gender, urban and rural areas.  The normally distributed data were analyzed using unpaired T test and not normally distributed data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test. Results: This study showed that there were differences in education, occupation and income between urban and rural areas. In urban area, most of the elderly worked in industry and trade and in rural area they worked in agricultural, indicated huge risks of occupational haxards.  Most of them were poor, still married, lived with spouses and family of three generations.Conclusions: It can be concluded that there were differences of social determinant factors (education, occupation and income) in elderly who live in urban and rural areas that can contribute to the risks of disease in elderly and these situations must be considered as an input  to enhance the primary health care.Keywords: Elderly, gender, rural, social determinants, urban

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the safety of combination of Physalis angulata L. (Cecendet) extract and methylprednisolone through a single dose in mice (acute toxicity) and repeated doses within 90 days in rats (subchronic toxicity).Methods: Acute toxicity test was conducted to 2 groups of female mice by monitoring their behavior and death at 4 hours and 24 hours after cecendet adminstration. While subchronic toxicity test was conducted to 6 groups of rats as normal group, control group, and receive varoius cecendet dose. Each group was combined with methylprednisolone 5 mg/kg b.w. at first month and gradually taperred to 3.2 mg/kg b.w. at third month. Subchronic toxicity was evaluated by monitoring rats’ behavior, mortality, blood biochemistry, blood cell count, urinalysis, and organ macroscopic and histologic.Results: The study showed cecendet extracts did not affect mice behavior in single dose therapy up to 5 g/kg b.w. and had LD50 of more than 5 g/kg b.w., which was categorized as practically non-toxic. The sub-chronic toxicity study showed that up to 1 g/kg b.w. of cecendet extracts that was administered for 90 days did not cause death, was not organ toxic, did not affect blood biochemistries, blood cell count, and urinalysis.Conclusions: Cecendet extract and methylprednisolone combination was safe based on acute and sub-chronic toxicity data.Keywords: Acute toxicity, LD50, Lupus, Physalis angulata L, subchronic toxicity

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the association of Ki-67 expression and response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with invasive breast cancer.   Methods: A retrospective observational study on the association of Ki-67 expression and response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with invasive breast cancer was conducted. This study included twenty-five female patients with invasive breast cancer who met the inclusion criteria. Parameters analyzed were age, tumor size, and immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67. Size of the tumor at pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy were obtained in cm3 and compared between 3 groups of Ki-67 expression levels. One way ANOVA was used to perform the statistical analysis. Results: A significant difference in changes of tumor size for Ki-67 level >20% compared to <14% and 14–20% was seen. Based on the result, neoadjuvant chemotherapy was proven to have similar effects in patients with Ki-67 expression of <14% and 14–20% but less effective in patients with Ki-67 expression of >20%. Conclusions: Low to modest expression of Ki-67 was a better biomarker to predict the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with invasive breast cancer compared to high expression of Ki-67. However, the cut-off value of 20% could be ideal to predict the outcome of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with invasive breast cancer. DOI: 10.15850/ijihs.v6n2.1374
