Abstract

Background The prevalence of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Indonesia remains high, especially in children with pre-existing chronic disease. These children often present with conditions that could interfere with weight measurements, such as edema or organomegaly. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is a potential indicator of nutritional status improvement. Objective To analyze the correlation between MUAC and body weight as parameters for nutritional improvement in children with SAM. Methods We performed registry analysis of patients admitted to the Pediatric Ward, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia from November 2016 to December 2020. We included children aged 6-59 months who were severely wasted (z-score <-3 on the WHO weight-for-height growth chart), had no conditions that could alter weight measurement, and had a 7-day minimum hospital stay. Patients with missing body weight and/or MUAC data were excluded. MUAC and weight increment between admission and discharge were analyzed using bivariate correlation and linear regression analyses. Results Out of 4,746 pediatric inpatients, 1,996 presented with SAM. Of these, 124 were eligible for analysis. Subjects’ median age was 18 (IQR 11-32) months and median length of stay was 16 days (IQR 9-29 days). Weight increment (g/kg/day) and MUAC increment (mm/day) were independently and significantly correlated (P<0.001; Spearman’s rho=0.414). An adequate weight increment of 5-10 g/kg/day was equivalent to a MUAC increment of 0.319-0.439 mm/day (P<0.001; R=0.374). Conclusion MUAC increment has a moderate positive correlated with weight increment. MUAC is a useful parameter of nutritional status improvement in SAM patients, especially in patients with conditions that could interfere with weight measurement.

Abstract

We explore the gut microbiota profiles of 103 stool samples collected from infants at the age of 4 and 6 months in Jakarta, Indonesia. We performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing with Illumina MiSeq to identify the diversity, structure, and composition of the gut microbiota from those stool samples. Among 103 stool samples, 55 and 48 samples were collected from infants with breastfeeding and mixed feeding patterns, respectively. We found that the most abundant bacteria were Bifidobacteriales from the phylum of Actinobacteria (43.05%), Lactobacillales from the phylum of Firmicutes (28.39%), and Enterobacterales from the phylum of Proteobacteria (13.75%). The alpha and beta diversity analysis showed that the association between feeding patterns and differences in the microbial communities was not statistically significant (p-value >0.05). Our study did not show a difference in the gut microbiota pattern between the two feeding pattern groups. This result contributed to the variety of the world gut microbiota profile data in infants.

Abstract

Sindrom nefrotik merupakan penyakit ginjal yang sering ditemukan pada anak-anak, dengan insiden 1-3 per 100.000 anak di bawah usia 16 tahun. Sekitar 10-20% anak dengan sindrom nefrotik mengalami sindrom nefrotik resisten steroid (SNRS), dan 10-30% dari kasus ini disebabkan oleh kelainan genetik. Pada SNRS monogenik, terdapat dua jenis yaitu sindromik (dengan gejala ekstra-renal) dan non-sindromik (tanpa gejala ekstra-renal). Penanganan SNRS memerlukan pendekatan klinis yang berbeda tergantung pada etiologi genetiknya. Pemeriksaan genetik, termasuk gen tunggal, panel multigen, dan genomik komprehensif, dapat mengidentifikasi varian patogenik, menetapkan diagnosis yang akurat, menyesuaikan terapi (termasuk penghentian terapi imunosupresan dan pemberian terapi yang lebih spesifik) konseling genetik, serta penanganan komprehensif terhadap manifestasi ekstra-renal terkait. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan klinis yang efektif harus didasarkan pada hasil pemeriksaan genetik untuk pengelolaan yang optimal dan konseling yang lebih tepat.
