Abstract

Presbycusis is a disease that can befall the elderly, caused by a multifactorial process that should be allowed to disrupt communication and social life and cause mental disorders. According to WHO the proportion of the elderly population rises rapidly which is estimated in 2025, there are about 1,2 billion elderly people with a risk of presbycusis. Mr.S was 84 years old, married and had 2 children, complained of hearing loss since 10 years ago on the patient's left ear. The decline in hearing occurred gradually, giving the last 4 years after his wife's death. Patients was taken to Otorhinolaryngologist and expressed age-related hearing impairment and was advised to use hearing aids. Patients are not routinely using hearing aids. In addition, patients have hypertension and heart disease. Patients consumed Captopril 2x1 tablets, Fundifar 2x1, Furosemide 1x40 mg and Fargoxin 1x0.25 mg. Patients do not routinely consumed cardiac medicine and used hearing aids. From the results of heteroanamnesis, physical examination, and audiogram examination conducted in Mr.S patients, it can be concluded that Mr.S suffers from presbycusis with hypertensive and congestive heart failure. Mr.S was advised to routinely have their hearing check to Otorhinolaryngologist the as an evaluation and routine control to Cardiologist.

Abstract

Background: Status epilepticus is a condition that results either in the failure of the mechanisms responsible for stopping seizures or in initiating mechanisms that cause seizures to be abnormally prolonged. Benzodiazepine is the first-line therapy for status epilepticus. The three usually used Benzodiazepines are Lorazepam, diazepam, and midazolam. Objective: This systematic review was undertaken to determine midazolam's role in managing patients with status epilepticus. Methods: A systematic search from PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane was conducted with predetermined keywords. Studies in randomized controlled trials assessing the impact of midazolam on epileptic status were included in the inclusion criteria. Articles are published in English, and the full text is accessible. The authors independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias for each included study. Results: Of 6410 studies obtained from the search results, 13 studies were found that were relevant and matched the inclusion criteria. Benzodiazepines are the first line of SE therapy in an emergency. This group works by inhibiting GABA receptors and has a rapid effect in stopping seizures. Midazolam can be given intravenously, intramuscularly, or transmucosal (nasal, buccal, or rectal). Intravenous midazolam may be a good choice because of its short onset of action and, therefore, can effectively stop seizures. Conclusion: Effective and safe results have been seen with each Midazolam administration method. This suggests that Midazolam may be an excellent therapeutic option for SE. However, the type of Midazolam administration can be adjusted according to the guidelines and drug availability in each country.
