Abstract

Introduction: Brain injury is a major cause of death and disability. Computerized Tomography (CT) scanning of the brain is essential for diagnostic screening in need of neurosurgical intervention and also provide information about patient prognosis. Methods: This study is a retrospective study design to assess the comparison of the CT scan scoring system of the head with the prognostic factors of brain injury. Head CT Scans were assessed according to the following Rotterdam and Helsinki CT Scores. All patients were managed according to standard guidelines. Surgery was performed as indicated. The primary objective was mortality assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at discharge and 3 months after. Results: Altogether, 60 patients were included. The results of the ROC analysis of the two CT scoring systems, the Helsinki score provided a better sensitivity score> 80% compared to the Rotterdam score, with a positive predictive value of around 74% each for assessing the outcome (GOS) of brain injury patients Conclusions: The Helsinki score scoring system provides a better sensitivity compared to the Rotterdam score

Abstract

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and causes of nosocomial infections in hospitals. Due to high antibiotic resistance and the ability to develop new resistance during antibiotic treatment, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is difficult to eradicate because the physical treatment becomes difficult and ineffective. This study was conducted to evaluate the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains at two different hospital in Makassar. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study from March to May 2021. The research samples were taken from the results of culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests conducted at two different hospital, Hasanuddin University Hospital and Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital for the period January 1 to September 30, 2019. A total of 84 samples were cultured and tested for antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results: Antibiotic sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was best with aminoglycoside antibiotics, gentamicin (100%) at Hasanuddin University Hospital and amikacin (95.8%) at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. At Hasanuddin University Hospital followed by antibiotics amikacin (92.3%) and meropenem (84.6%). At Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Pseudomonas aeruginosa also showed good sensitivity to gentamicin (91.5%) and meropenem (77.5%). The sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was lowest to piperacillin/tazobactam. Conclusions: This study shows that the level of effectiveness of the antibiotics meropenem, amikacin and gentamicin is high enough and it can be used as a treatment option in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. This study can help as a reference to prevent mortality and morbidity associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Abstract

Introduction: By relying on polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells, stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contribute significantly in the healing process. Through anal trauma model, this study examined the effect of SVF and PRP combination on PMN counts in vivo. Method: Three groups of twenty-eight eligible Wistar rats anal trauma model randomly assigned to receive SVF and PRP combination (Group A), normal saline (Group B), or healthy controls (Group C). On days 1, 7, and 14, we examined at PMN cell counts in Groups A and B. Group C were sacrificed early to acquire baseline data on PMN cells. Results:  On the first day, Group A had more PMN cells than Group B, but this difference faded by days 7 and 14. On day 1, the test revealed a significant increase in PMN cells (p=0.002). Conclusion:  Combining SVF and PRP can improve PMN cells' acute phase of anal damage repair in vivo
