Abstract

Background: Obesity affect significant populations on all ages. The relationship between obesity and metabolic diseases is known but a dermatological link is rarely explained. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is one of the measurement tools used to define the skin’s barrier function by measuring the amount of water that evaporates through the skin in aspecific amount of time. Although several studies on TEWL are available but discussion about the correlation between TEWL and body mass index (BMI) is still limited. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between TEWL and BMI. Methods: This research is a single-center study with analytical cross-sectional design that includes healthy subjects among medical students aged 18 to 23 years old in Universitas Sebelas Maret. A questionnaire was used to ensure that all subjects met the criteria. Chi-square and Pearson were used to analyze the observed variables.Results: The total sample in this study was 62 participants, with a majority of female (59.7%) and ranged from 21 to 23 years (74.2%). The ratio of normoweight and overweight/obese was 1:1. The results demonstrated significant difference and positive correlation between increased BMI with TEWL (pConclusion: This study showed a significant correlation between increased body mass index and transepidermal water loss. Overweight participants tend to develop high values of TEWL which reflect a disruption of skin barrier. Further research on other influencing factors with larger samples and more study centers are needed.

Abstract

BackgroundCondylomata acuminata (CA) are sexually transmitted infections primarily caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. Retinoblastoma protein (pRb) interacts with HPV oncoproteins, leading to destabilization, genomic instability, and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to determine whether variations in pRb expression and sexual orientation are risk factors of the anatomical location of CA lesions and to compare differences in pRb expression by sexual orientation. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 33 patients aged >18 years with clinically and histopathologically confirmed CA. Demographic data, pRb expression assessed via excision biopsy and immunohistochemistry, and relevant risk factors were collected. Statistical analyses including Simple and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data, with model fit assessed using the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. ResultsWeak pRb expression predominated in anal lesions (92.3%; p=0.018) and among homosexual/bisexual individuals (57.9%; p=0.031), while moderate expression was more common in genital lesions (66.7%; p=0.018) and heterosexual individuals (57.1%; p=0.011). Simple logistic regression  analysis showed that HIV status (OR=11.88; p=0.025), sexual orientation (OR=13.33; p=0.001), and moderate-to-strong pRb expression (OR=24.00; p=0.008; OR=12.00; p=0.048) were associated with lesion location. In the multivariate model, pRb expression was excluded due to multicollinearity. Sexual orientation remained the only independent predictor of lesion location (Adj OR=8.89; p=0.023), with heterosexual individuals more likely to present with genital lesions. ConclusionThe expression of pRb was not a risk factor of the anatomical location of CA, and differed between genital and anal CA. However, sexual orientation emerged as the dominant independent factor associated with lesion location.

Abstract

The elevated cases of pregnant women infected with COVID-19 who needed to undergo caesarean section is a great challenge to anesthesiologists. Morbid obesity and preeclampsia in pregnancy are also another challenge to medical practice especially when the patient requires caesarean section. To describe the perioperative management of a morbidly obese preeclamptic patient with COVID-19. A pregnant woman with mild case of COVID-19, severe preeclampsia and obesity underwent an emergency caesarean section. Spinal anesthesia was performed using a Whitacre 26G spinal needle with 76 mm length, bupivacaine 0.5% 12.5 mg as spinal anesthesia agent and fentanyl 25 mcg as adjuvant. All operating teams use PPE according to COVID-19 guidelines and standard procedures. The operation went with a good outcome without any transmission to the operating team. The patient underwent treatment without postoperative complications. Spinal anesthesia is considered safe to be a usual technique for parturient with preeclampsia and morbid obesity. A proper COVID-19 surgery protocol is crucial in order to protect health workers handling COVID-19 patients.
