Abstract

Introduction: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a frequently performed procedure for chronic rhinosinusitis in Indonesia. Effective postoperative pain management is vital for patient comfort, early recovery, and minimizing healthcare expenses. This study compared the efficacy of different analgesic regimens in managing postoperative pain after ESS in an Indonesian population. Methods: This prospective, randomized controlled trial involved 120 patients undergoing ESS at a tertiary hospital in Indonesia. Patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups: Group A received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine, Group B received a combination of intravenous ketorolac and oral paracetamol, and Group C received oral paracetamol alone. Pain intensity was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. The requirement for rescue analgesia and the occurrence of adverse effects were also documented. Results: Group A (PCA with morphine) exhibited significantly lower VAS scores at all time points compared to Group B (ketorolac and paracetamol) and Group C (paracetamol alone) (p<0.001). Group B showed lower VAS scores than Group C at 2 and 6 hours postoperatively (p<0.05). The need for rescue analgesia was significantly higher in Group C compared to the other groups (p<0.001). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was higher in Group A, while constipation was more frequent in Group B. Conclusion: Intravenous PCA with morphine provided superior postoperative pain control after ESS compared to other analgesic regimens. However, the increased incidence of nausea and vomiting should be taken into account. A combination of intravenous ketorolac and oral paracetamol presented a suitable alternative with a more favorable side effect profile. Further investigation is necessary to optimize pain management protocols for ESS in the Indonesian population.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic dizziness is a debilitating condition with limited treatment options. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has shown promise in treating various neurological conditions. This randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy and safety of TMS in treating chronic dizziness in Bandung, Indonesia. Methods: Participants with chronic dizziness (≥ 3 months) were randomly assigned to receive either active TMS or sham TMS for 10 sessions over two weeks. The active TMS group received 1 Hz stimulation over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), while the sham group received placebo stimulation. The primary outcome was the change in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score from baseline to four weeks post-intervention. Secondary outcomes included changes in Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) scores, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores, and quality of life measures. Safety was assessed through monitoring of adverse events. Results: A total of 60 participants completed the study (30 in each group). The active TMS group showed a significantly greater improvement in DHI scores compared to the sham group (p < 0.001). Significant improvements were also observed in VSS, HADS, and quality of life measures in the active TMS group. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion: This study provides evidence for the efficacy and safety of TMS in treating chronic dizziness in the Indonesian population. TMS may be a valuable therapeutic option for patients with chronic dizziness who have not responded to conventional therapies.

Abstract

Introduction: Endodontically treated teeth are more susceptible to fracture due to the loss of tooth structure and moisture. Full-coverage crowns are often used to restore these teeth and enhance their fracture resistance. However, the influence of different preparation designs on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth remains a topic of investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with full-coverage crowns with different preparation designs in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: Forty extracted human premolars were endodontically treated and divided into four groups (n=10): Group 1: Butt-joint margin with a 1 mm chamfer finish line; Group 2: Shoulder margin with a 1.5 mm chamfer finish line; Group 3: Deep chamfer margin with a 2 mm chamfer finish line; and Group 4: Shoulder margin with a rounded shoulder finish line. All teeth were prepared for full-coverage crowns and restored with standardized metal-ceramic crowns. A universal testing machine was used to apply compressive load to the teeth until fracture. The fracture resistance values were recorded in Newtons (N) and analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (α=0.05). Results: The mean fracture resistance values (N) were as follows: Group 1 (1250 ± 150), Group 2 (1480 ± 180), Group 3 (1180 ± 130), and Group 4 (1550 ± 200). One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in fracture resistance among the groups (p<0.05). Tukey's post-hoc test indicated that Group 4 exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance than Group 1 and Group 3 (p<0.05). Group 2 also demonstrated significantly higher fracture resistance than Group 3 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the shoulder margin with a rounded shoulder finish line provided the highest fracture resistance for endodontically treated teeth restored with full-coverage crowns. The butt-joint margin and deep chamfer margin preparations exhibited lower fracture resistance.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Eucaryote microbes have an important role in forming bioflocs in the brackishwater aquaculture ponds. Bioflocs become potential live feed for milkfish or crustacea. This study aimed to identify the potential of eukaryotic microbes in the brackishwater aquaculture as the biofloc candidates potential development. This study was done through the water quality assessment and potential indigenous microbes isolation approach. Sampling was retrieved from the water subcomposite and sediment on each intertidal inlet and outlet. The water quality of brackishwater pond and intertidal swamp tended to lack of nutrient as containing inoptimal dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, and ammonia content for the milkfish culture. Therefore, liming and fertilizing should be done to enrich the indigenous microbes. Eucaryote microbe isolated from the enrichment media was the aquatic fungi (multicellular and unicellular fungi) and microalgae (bacillariophyta, chlorophyta, and cyanophyta). Fungi and yeast formed a floculation with microalgae. This form will become a biofloc candidate as a live feed and water quality controller for the development of brackishwater aquaculture in the swamp area. Keywords: eucaryote microbes, biofloc, aquaculture, pond, brackish water swamp ABSTRAK Mikrob eukariot berperan penting dalam pembentukan bioflok di tambak budidaya pada lahan rawa payau. Bioflok menjadi pakan alami untuk budidaya ikan bandeng atau udang. Tujuan riset ini adalah mengidentifikasi mikrob eukariot rawa payau potensial untuk pengembangan kandidat bioflok di akuakultur rawa payau. Riset ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitas air serta isolasi mikrob indigenous tambak dan rawa pasang surut untuk mendapatkan isolat mikrob potensial sebagai kandidat pembentuk bioflok. Sampling dilakukan secara subkomposit pada air dan sedimen di setiap inlet dan outlet pasang surut. Kualitas air tambak dan rawa pasang surut menunjukkan kondisi oksigen terlarut, salinitas, pH, dan amonia berada di luar batas optimum budidaya ikan bandeng, sehingga perlu dilakukan pengapuran dan pemupukan untuk memperbanyak mikrob indigenous-nya. Isolasi mikrob eukariot dari media pengayaan diperoleh jenis fungi akuatik yang multiseluler dan uniseluler, sedangkan mikroalga yang diperoleh yaitu dari golongan Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, dan Cyanophyta. Fungi yang dapat membentuk hifa dapat merangkai mikroalga dan khamir untuk membentuk flok. Susunan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan bioflok yang berguna sebagai pengendali kualitas air sekaligus pakan alami bagi pengembangan budidaya di lahan rawa payau.

Abstract

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a significant pediatric health concern in Indonesia, but diagnostic and treatment pathways are often resource-constrained. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) offers a dynamic assessment of upper airway obstruction, but its predictive value for treatment outcomes in Indonesian children remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of DISE findings for polysomnography (PSG)-determined OSA severity and surgical outcomes in a multicenter cohort of Indonesian children. Methods: A prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted at three tertiary hospitals in Indonesia. Children aged 2-18 years with suspected OSA underwent DISE and overnight PSG. DISE findings were classified using the VOTE (Velum, Oropharynx, Tongue base, Epiglottis) classification system. The primary outcome was the correlation between DISE findings and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) on PSG. Secondary outcomes included the prediction of surgical success (defined as a postoperative AHI < 5 and >50% reduction from baseline) after adenotonsillectomy (T&A). Statistical analyses included Spearman's rank correlation, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and logistic regression. Results: 250 children (mean age 8.2 ± 3.5 years, 60% male) were included. A significant positive correlation was found between the total VOTE score and AHI (ρ = 0.62, p < 0.001). Tongue base obstruction (VOTE-T) showed the strongest correlation with AHI (ρ = 0.58, p < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the total VOTE score predicting severe OSA (AHI ≥ 10) was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.79-0.91). In the subgroup of 180 children who underwent T&A, a higher total VOTE score (particularly VOTE-T and VOTE-E scores) was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of surgical success (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.28-0.72, p = 0.001). Conclusion: DISE, using the VOTE classification, demonstrates good predictive value for OSA severity and surgical outcomes in Indonesian children. Tongue base and epiglottic obstruction are particularly important predictors. DISE can be a valuable tool for guiding treatment decisions in resource-limited settings.
