Abstract

Background: A method is required in communication to provide information to one another, including the capacity to comprehend and create communications. Language is a mental analysis of communication that includes both receptive language (understanding) and expressive language (ability to convey feelings, information, thoughts and ideas). Objective: To be able to find out how appropriate treatment should be for patients with language disorders with normal hearing examination results. Results: A child aged 2 years and 8 months was diagnosed with expressive language disorder, considering that his history, physical exams, and OAE, BERA, and ASSR tests were all normal. Methods: PubMed, medline, other manual searches. OAE, BERA, ASSR with normal hearing results according to the case in this patient. Expressive language disorder occurs when a child is unable to articulate or explain the substance of his opinions and ideas verbally according to his age, and OAE, BERA, and ASSR have all been tested with normal findings. Conclusion: This is necessary to prevent speech and language problems and to allow cognitive, social, and scholastic skills to function properly. To enhance communication and get an improved prognosis, speech treatment and child psychologist advice should be explored.

Abstract

Trakeostomi adalah operasi relatif umum digunakan untuk menjaga jalan napas, mengurangi dead space area dan memperlancar akses ke saluran pernapasan bagian bawah, dengan melewati saluran pernapasan bagian atas. Namun dalam melakukan trakeostomi ada banyak efek samping yang didapatkan antara lain fungsi dari saluran nafas atas terganggu sehingga menyebabkan produksi sekret bertambah, selain itu trakeostomi juga dapat mengakibatkan terganggunya sistem mukosiliar yang menyebabkan perubahan sillia epitel sehingga udara menjadi lebih kering, perlu untuk diketahui kapan terjadi perubahan waktu transpor mukosiliar pada pasien dengan trakeostomi. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan transpor mukosilliar pada pasien trakeostomi. Penelitian ini bersifat analitik observasional dengan design cross sectional untuk mengetahui perbandingan rerata waktu transpor mukosiliar pasien trakeostomi menggunakan tes sakarin. Data diuji menggunakan Uji Mann-Whitney jika uji tidak berdistribusi normal. Hasil penelitian didapatkan sebanyak 22 sampel, dibagi menjadi 11 sampel pada kelompok pasien trakeostomi ≤ 3 bulan dan 11 sampel pada kelompok pasien trakeostomi > 3 bulan. Hasil analisis uji Mann-Whitney menunjukkan terdapat perbandingan rerata waktu transpor mukosiliar pasien trakeostomi ≤ 3 bulan dan pasien trakeostomi > 3 bulan (p<0,05) dimana terjadi peningkatan waktu transpor mukosiliar pada pasien trakeostomi > 3 bulan (15,32 ± 1,62 menit) dibandingkan pasien trakeostomi ≤ 3 bulan (9,5 ± 3,46 menit). Kesimpulan dari penelitian adalah terdapat perbedaan perbandingan rerata waktu transpor mukosiliar pasien trakeostomi ≤ 3 bulan dan pasien trakeostomi > 3 bulan.

Abstract

Soft palate tumors can be categorized as benign or malignant, with malignant tumors being more common than benign ones. Up to 55% of intraoral tumors are found on the palate; thus, they are known as palatal tumors. Many causative or supporting factors may contribute to the development of palatal tumors, such as the long-term use of tobacco and alcohol. A final diagnosis of a palatal tumor is typically achieved through histological examination. This paper aims to present a case involving a patient diagnosed with palatal fibrosarcoma. The patient, a 39-year-old woman, was diagnosed with palatal fibrosarcoma and underwent treatment consisting of Mass Extirpation and Palatoplasty. Relevant evidence and literature were gathered through searches conducted on PubMed, Medline, and manual research. In this specific case, the surgical approach to excise the palatal tumor was determined based on factors such as its size and location. The diagnosis is based on a combination of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and further clinical assessment. Treatment for palatal tumors primarily involves surgery aimedat completely removing the tumor tissue.

Abstract

Acute otitis media (AOM) is an inflammation of part or all of the middle ear mucosa, including the eustachian tube, mastoid antrum, and mastoid cells, occurring within less than three weeks, accompanied by local symptoms such as fever, pain, reduced hearing, and discharge. Several diseases that are risk factors for AOM include a history of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and allergic rhinitis. This study aims to determine the relationship between URTI and allergic rhinitis with AOM at the ENT-KL Polyclinic of RSUDZA Banda Aceh from January 2022 to December 2023. This observational analytical research employs a cross-sectional design. The study utilized medical record data with total sampling techniques, resulting in a sample size of 2.178 people. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. The results indicated that 227 people (10,4%) experienced AOM, 448 people (20,6%) had URTI and 225 people (10,3%) had allergic rhinitis. The age characteristics of patients with the most ear disorders was 55-64 years, namely 409 people (18.8%), and the dominant gender was female, namely 1175 people (32.9%). The Chi-square test results for URTI and AOM showed a p-value of 0.033 (PR=1.35, 95% CI 1.02-1.79), indicating that there is a relationship between URTI and AOM. Similarly, the Chi-results for allergic rhinitis with AOM yielded a p-value of <0.001 (PR=2.26, 95% CI 1.69-3.02), suggesting a relationship between allergic rhinitis and AOM. It can be concluded that patients with URTI are approximately 1,35 times more likely to suffer from AOM, while patients with allergic rhinitis are about 2,26 times more likely to develop AOM.

Abstract

Anemia frequently occurs in patients with cancer and can worsen due to chemotherapy. The literature on non-pharmacological interventions to increase hemoglobin levels in patients with head and neck cancer following chemotherapy remains limited. This study aimed to measure the effect of beetroot juice supplementation on changes in hemoglobin levels in patients with head and neck cancer who had undergone chemotherapy. Methods: An experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh (July–November 2024). The sample consisted of all head and neck cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy cycles I–VI (total sampling, n=40), divided into two treatment groups: 100 g beetroot juice (n=20) and 200 g beetroot juice (n = 20). Hemoglobin levels were measured before and 14 days after the intervention. The analysis was performed using paired t-tests and effect sizes (Cohen’s d). Results: Administration of 100 g of beetroot juice did not significantly alter hemoglobin levels, with an average difference of −0.24 g/dL (p = 0.241). In contrast, the 200-gram dose resulted in a significant increase in hemoglobin levels, with an average difference of +0.44 g/dL (p = 0.016) after 14 days of intervention. Furthermore, the estimated Cohen’s d (pooled SD) was 0.51, indicating a moderate effect. In conclusion, the administration of 200 g beetroot juice for 14 days was associated with a small but statistically significant increase in hemoglobin levels in patients with head and neck cancer who underwent chemotherapy. Further studies in the form of RCTs with larger sample sizes and stricter compliance monitoring are needed to confirm these findings and assess their clinical relevance.

Abstract

Background: A tracheostomy is a temporary or permanent opening of the trachea followed by a cannula insertion to secure the airway, a common life-saving procedure in otorhinolaryngology. However, tracheostomy cannula sizes vary significantly across manufacturers, with no standardized numbering system, complicating the selection of an appropriate size. The tracheal ring is made of cartilage, particularly in the fingers, is used as a marker for cartilage growth in the trachea. Purpose: This study aims to assess the suitability of little finger diameter and middle finger length to diameter of the trachea in order to predict the tracheostomy cannula size. Methode: This observational analytical study using a cross-sectional design, analyzing patients who underwent tracheostomy and met specific inclusion criteria. Measurements included the little finger diameter, middle finger length, and intraoperative anterolateral tracheal diameter. Data analysis was performed using Pearson and Spearman correlation tests. Result: Among 24 participants, adults accounted for 83.3% of cases, while children 16.7%, with a mean age of 54.5 years. The incidence of tracheostomy was more common in males (70.8%) and upper airway obstruction as the main indication (83,3%). The study identified a positive correlation between little finger diameter and tracheal internal diameter (r = 0.496, p < 0.05). Conversely, no significant correlation was observed between middle finger length and tracheal diameter (r = 0.318, p > 0.05). Conclusion: little finger diameter demonstrates potential as a predictor for tracheostomy cannula size, reflecting the internal tracheal diameter. Keywords: Tracheal diameter, little finger diameter, middle finger length, Tracheostomy cannula.
