Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke remains as a major health problem and one important process in Ischemic Stroke is neuroinflammation which has a principal role to maintain the balance of neurogenesis and neurodegeneration process in the brain. Neuroinflammation can lead to glial scar and inhibit neurogenesis processes which is needed for recovery neuron function. This study was conducted to observe the role of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) as neuroinflammation markers to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as glial scar marker and to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as neurogenesis marker in brain tissue following ischemic stroke.METHODS: Fifteen male Wistar rats were randomized to three groups; sham group, rats receiving occlusion and terminated 180 minutes later (group A), and rats receiving occlusion and terminated after 7 days (group B). Expressions of BDNF and BDNF mRNA were examined using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. While GFAP, HMGB1, TNF-α were assessed using IHC.RESULTS: Expression of BDNF was found lower in group A and group B than in sham group (5.20±1.924, 5.00±1.581, and 7.80±1.304, respectively; p=0.032). Expression of BNDF mRNA was found lower in group A and B than in sham group as well. While expression of GFAP was found higher in group A and B than in sham group (9.60±1.517, 11.40±2.074, and 5.20±1.48, respectively; p=0.000). Higher level of HMGB1 and TNF-α expressions were also found to in group A and group B than in sham group (9.3±1.528, 11.67±1.528, and 2.00±1.000, respectively; p=0.000 for HMGB1 and 6.33±1.155, 9.33±1.528, and 3.00±1.000, respectively; p=0.002 for TNF-α).CONCLUSION: The presence of low BDNF levels and high levels of GFAP, HMGB1 and TNF-α markers, possibly reflects inhibition of the neurogenesis process by neuroinflammation, and induced glial scar formation in ischemic stroke conditions after than 180 hours until 7 days.

Abstract

Highlight: Understanding the causes and associated factors of of spinal cord injury (SCI) is important. Immune thrombocytopenia may contribute to spinal cord injury. Corticosteroid therapy for ITP, has shown improved  clinical outcomes.   ABSTRACT Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a significant medical condition caused by either traumatic events or pathological diseases, which leads to neurological deficits and various levels of motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. Several treatments, including corticosteroids, have been proposed to reduce secondary neuronal damage,  but they are still controversial. Meanwhile, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) can be treated with corticosteroids. The lack of research necessitates a review of steroids as a therapy for ITP and spinal cord trauma. Case: A 76-year-old woman complained of weakness in both legs for 15 days before being admitted to the hospital.The weakness was noticed after experiencing a fall. Additionally, the patient complained about having difficulty with both defecating and urinating. On examination,  muscle strength in the lower limbs was  graded 4 on both sides  according to the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale. The classification of the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score was D, with neurological level injury (NLI) at the 6th thoracic level with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Considering the patient's condition, steroids were administered as a treatment option. Fortunately, the patient showed clinical improvements, with the ASIA score improving from D to E, suggesting a positive response to steroids and potential for neurological recovery. Conclusion: Steroids may be regarded as a possible treatment alternative for individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed fundamental weaknesses in healthcare financing systems, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. Public hospitals faced significant challenges in sustaining operations due to changes in reimbursement policies and the increasing complexity of services, while simultaneously relying on government funding. The absence of a stable and adaptive payment mechanism during the pandemic led to prolonged financial uncertainty. This study examines the financial strategies public hospitals adopt to maintain operational continuity amid changes in the reimbursement scheme for COVID-19 patients. The research was conducted at Universitas Airlangga Hospital using 547 COVID-19 patient claim records and interviews with the hospital's financial manager, which were analyzed through descriptive methods. The findings indicate that hospitals utilized strategies based on internal resources, such as cost reallocation, improved coordination, and integration between medical service units and financial departments, in response to external regulatory pressures. Collaboration between clinical and administrative teams improved cost control and operational resilience during the transition period of payment systems. This study emphasizes the importance of utilizing internal hospital capabilities, including financial systems, governance structures, and interdepartmental synergy, in dealing with policy uncertainty. Hospitals needs to develop responsive and forward-looking financial strategies to cope with public health crises. For policymakers, the findings highlight the urgency of designing reimbursement systems that are responsive, transparent, and based on hospitals' actual needs and the sustainability of healthcare services in the future.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is the fifth leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in the world. Cognitive impairment is one of the disabilities found in the acute phase of stroke and persists in long-term outcomes which can be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). However, a clinical classification to predict the cognitive outcome remained unclear. This study is aimed to identify differences of MMSE results in stroke patients between right and left hemisphere lesions to ensure the mentioned location classifications may contribute to cognitive outcome prediction.Method: With the cross-sectional analytic observational design, 32 acute phase patients hospitalized in the Neurology Department Soetomo General Hospital from October–December 2019 were assessed using the Indonesian version of MMSE with purposive sampling and analyzed using the chi-square test.Result: There was no significant difference between MMSE scores in right or left hemisphere lesion. This might happen because (1) MMSE was insensitive and not a domain-specific test; (2) a more specific infarct location was needed to predict cognitive outcome post-stroke, including microarchitecture of the brain especially those involved in the cortico-striato-thalamocortical loop.Conclusion: The right or left hemisphere lesion classification did not contribute significantly to predict cognitive impairment.
