Abstract

This study aims to find out how the main priority strategy for the development of the Halal Food Industry is to increase the consumption activities of the people of Medan City by presenting the internal and external conditions that have been carried out so far. Then in addition, the researcher also explained several handling urgency that needed to be implemented so that the development of the Halal Food Industry could be more focused. The method used is a qualitative method using SWOT analysis and QSPM. The number of respondents who filled out the questionnaire was 5 respondents from SMEs in Medan City and 5 respondents from experts. Based on the results of the SWOT analysis, the strategy quadrants obtained after being processed in the IFE and EFE matrices are in Quadrant I. This indicates that the strategy used is a progressive strategy. This strategy means that the Halal Food industry has strengths and opportunities. Furthermore, in the QSPM analysis, the results show that the main priority strategy that must be carried out is Utilizing Halal Product Companion Training so that the Halal Industry has the opportunity to enter the Global Market.

Abstract

Introduction. The correlation between the premenopausal estrogen hormone and estrogen receptors is unknown. The hormone estrogen has a risk factor for causing breast cancer. Meanwhile, the estrogen receptor plays a role in determining further treatment plans in breast cancer patients. Patients with high estrogen receptors have a better prognosis. If the premenopausal estrogen hormone can affect the estrogen-receptor, then the estrogen hormone can be modified to have a better prognosis. Method. A cross-sectional study enrolled 32 subjects with complete data and was statistically analyzed to find the correlation between premenopausal estrogen hormone and estrogen-receptors. Results. The estradiol ranged from 15.3 − 89.8 pg/mL, and estrogen receptors showed a range of 10–90%. The Spearman correlation test between the estradiol and the estrogen receptor showed a p-value = 0.864 and a negative correlation coefficient of 0.032. Conclusion. Estrogen hormone is not statistically associated with estrogen receptors in premenopausal breast cancer patients, thus illustrating that the prognosis of breast cancer is not associated with the estrogen hormone

Abstract

Introduction. Previous studies have reported that patient satisfaction with breast cancer management is related to the success of breast reconstruction. The tissue expander used in breast reconstruction today has several disadvantages: the high cost, the nature of the foreign body, and the risk of failure. Seroma has the potential as a natural tissue developer in post-mastectomy reconstruction. This case report aims to describe the technique, results, advantages, and limitations of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction using a seroma as a natural tissue expander that has never been done before. Case Presentation. A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with stage IIIA non-special type (NST) invasive breast carcinoma stage III without lymphovascular invasion. The patient underwent a modified radical mastectomy (MRM) on the right side breast. Postoperatively, a drain was placed for observation. If no maceration of the skin was found, the drain was removed within the first 24 hours postoperatively to accumulate seroma in the dead space formed in the breast flap. Next, seroma molding is done with a special bra that fits the shape of the bust. Observations were made during the treatment, and the seroma molding process occurred. During the follow-up period, the patient complained of mild pain and did not experience tumor recurrence. Conclusion. This case report shows seroma as a biological tissue expander that can potentially be used as an alternative breast reconstruction method with body fluid accumulation.

Abstract

Introduction. In a study spanning 2008 to 2012 at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (CMGH) Jakarta, 668 cases of thyroid cancer were identified among 18,216 cancer cases. Globally, the papillary subtype is prevalent, and prior research indicates a link between thyroid hormone changes and thyroid carcinoma risk. To improve surgical care, this study aims to find the association between thyroid hormone levels and histological subtypes in thyroid carcinoma patients. Method. This cross-sectional study focused on thyroid cancer patients managed from 2013 to 2017. Despite subjects' characteristics, thyroid hormone levels and histopathological findings were the variables of interest. The findings were analyzed using ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, unpaired T-tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and Pearson or Spearman tests to find correlations with age, gender, clinical presentation, and body mass index. Results. The mean age was 48.7 years, with subjects having an average body weight of 64.5 kg, height of 154.4 cm, and BMI of 24.8 kg/m2. Hormonal analysis revealed mean T3 levels at 2.02 ng/mL, T4 levels were slightly lower at 1.92 ng/mL, and TSH levels were the lowest at 1.22 ng/mL. A very weak correlation existed between the T3 hormone and age (r = 0.05, p = 0.77). In the correlation between T4 thyroid hormone levels and age, a weak correlation was found between T4 thyroid hormone levels and age (r = 0.31, p = 0.08). In the correlation between thyroid cancer histopathology and gender, clinical presentation, and BMI, there was no significant association with gender, ?s = 0,01; 95% ??? [-3,37; 3.34]; p=0,94 Conclusion. This study indicates that the TSH, T3, and T4 hormone levels were not associated with the histopathological characteristics of thyroid cancer at CMGH. The T3, T4, and TSH hormone levels were unaffected by gender, nodule involvement, and age

Abstract

Introduction. Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer and is the third most common cause of death of all malignancies in the world. Cutaneous metastatic lesions are the earliest and the most frequently encountered metastatic lesions in malignant melanoma. The use of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) as an intradermal therapy agent has been long debated due to its effectiveness and adverse effects. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the use of intralesional BCG in establishing local control and preventing recurrence in cutaneous metastatic malignant melanoma. Method. A literature search was conducted on various online databases. The articles that were obtained were selected according to the 2020 PRISMA flow diagram. Among 79 articles obtained, six selected articles were included in this study. Results. Five included studies stated that intralesional BCG effectively induces complete regression of cutaneous metastatic lesions of malignant melanoma. Variable results have been obtained regarding the effectiveness of intralesional BCG in preventing the recurrence of malignant melanoma. In three studies, significant differences were found in disease-free and median survival, but no studies included incidence of recurrence data in their results. Conclusion. BCG can be considered as an intralesional therapy agent of choice to induce local control in cutaneous metastatic malignant melanoma. However, its use has proven ineffective in preventing cutaneous metastatic malignant melanoma recurrence.
