Abstract

Introduction: Intracranial foreign bodies are usually caused by trauma that penetrates the cranium. Gunshot wounds are the most common cause, while non-missile intracranial penetration is rare. The patient’s clinical condition highly depends on the mechanism, anatomical location of the lesion, and related injuries. Possible complications include intracerebral hemorrhage, contusion, major injury on the vascular, and meningitis. In this article, we report case of intracerebral nail extraction from a patient with right cerebral foreign body. Case presentation: A 22-year-old man with a history of unspecified schizophrenia reported with reduced awareness accompanied by weakness of his left limb. During a head CT scan of the head, there are several tubular foreign bodies in the right cerebral. Craniotomy for foreign body extraction and drainage of the cerebral abscess is immediately performed. Four days after surgery, the patient had increased awareness, although there was no significant improvement in motor strength. One month after discharged from hospital there was slight improvement in motor strength. Conclusion: Extraction of foreign bodies by a surgical procedure is mandatory and should be performed thoroughly. The administration of antibiotics, anticonvulsants, physiotherapy, and psychiatric follow-up should be added to the treatment of this patient.

Abstract

Reports have shown that there has been a continuous annual increase in the number of traffic accidents in Indonesia. Parepare City, in particular, faces significant congestion in its public transportation system, leading to 167 cases and 144 cases of accidents in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge, attitude, personality, and safety riding practice on traffic accidents among transportation workers in Parepare City. This cross-sectional study comprised 100 respondents selected using the simple random sampling method. The study instrument was a questionnaire, which had previously been tested for its validity and reliability. The data obtained were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe the characteristics of each variable. In contrast, bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test with a confidence level of 95%. Data were collected through interviews with a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple logistic regression with the forward LR method. The results showed that attitude and safety riding practice had a significant influence. Multivariate analysis showed that factors influencing accidents included attitude (AOR = 0.031; 95%CI = 0.45-0.26), practice (AOR = 0.108; 95%CI = 0.03-0.38), and knowledge (AOR = 0.337; 95%CI = 0.13-0.88), while personality had no effect. Based on the results, future studies were advised to conduct long-term investigations (longitudinal studies) to monitor changes in the variables observed and the relationship with the rate of traffic accidents.
