Abstract

Background: Hearing tolerance is impaired in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which can affect social and academic functioning. This study aims to describe the clinical profile of hearing impairments in children with ASD and determine the prevalence of such impairments. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Academic Hospital UGM on pediatric ASD patients aged 18 months to 12 years who underwent hearing exams like BERA (brain-evoked response auditory) and/or audiometry. ASD severity was assessed using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and a questionnaire on demographics and comorbidities, followed by BERA tests. Results:  A total of 41 ASD children were obtained, with 31 children (76%) being boys and an average diagnosis age of 3.3 years (±1.3 SD). Hearing loss was suffered by 4 children (10%) and 37 children (90%) did not experience hearing loss. Sound sensitivity and degree of ASD correlated with head banging (p=0.01), and male gender correlated with hearing loss (P=0.006). CARS score was statistically associated with sound sensitivity (p=0.041) and degree of ASD (<0.001). Conclusion: Children diagnosed with ASD face an increased susceptibility to communication impairments which can be attributed to hearing impairments. This issue warrants particular attention in the context of ASD, highlighting the necessity for thorough screening of hearing capabilities.

Abstract

Background: Masturbation is normal sexual behavior. However, masturbation in childhood is rarely discussed in the research. Childhood masturbation or gratification disorder, is characterized by self-stimulation of genitalia in prepubescent children. However, childhood masturbation often stops if the child is distracted, and spontaneous recovery within two years in most cases Generally, no drug therapy is required for childhood masturbation unless it is very frequent or excessive and it affects the daily functionality of the child. Regarding the treatment of childhood masturbation, we highlight the fact that evidence-based therapy for childhood masturbation is lacking due to unclear standard guidelines on it. We need a path of therapy that can help doctors in the management of childhood masturbation. Case: Here we reported two cases of excessive childhood masturbation from a 3-year-old and a 10-month-old female patient who were brought by their mother to the outpatient clinic pediatric, Academic Hospital, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia, with a complaint of stretching by flexing the legs and rubbing on her genital part Risperidone as one of the drug therapies for this case and present a good outcome. Additionally, this article also provides literature reviews on childhood masturbation treatment that may guide clinicians in its evaluation and management. Conclusion:  We conclude that behavioral treatment is the common strategy for childhood masturbation.  The treatment, as well as behavioral and drug therapeutic strategies, should be considered to achieve an effective outcome.

Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide outbreak disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world and is predicted to be affected significantly over a more extended period. Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Academic Hospital is one of the COVID-19 referral hospitals located in the Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Since the early months of the pandemic, the hospital has prepared strategies to provide effective and efficient patient care. The focus has been safety for both patients and healthcare staff. Here, we will share our experiences activating a Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) as a hallmark for preparedness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic disaster so it can be adopted in other hospitals nationwide or worldwide. The HICS in the UGM Academic Hospital includes 1) surge capacity for isolation rooms, 2) infection prevention and control, 3) human resources, 4) continuity of essential health services and patient care, 5) communication, 6) logistics and management of supplies including pharmaceuticals, 7) essential support services, 8) case management system, 9) surveillance early warning and monitoring, 10) laboratory services, and 11) additional programs including community service programs. Based on our experiences, early preparedness with a proactive response, and adapting plans to local needs, the national and global current situation are the keys to managing patient care. Implementing all levels of the hierarchy of control infection and keeping the human resources adequate also could protect staff

Abstract

BACKGROUND : Trauma becomes the main health problem worldwide due to its high mortality rate. Traffic accidents are a trauma with a high incidence and death rate in Indonesia, specifically in Yogyakarta. Factors causing trauma-related death are the lack of hospital infrastructure, the lack of quality human resources, the lack of standardization of trauma management, and the limited number of hospitals providing comprehensive trauma services. This research aims to identify the characteristics of trauma patients who died while receiving medical treatment at UGM Academic Hospital and to analyze the mortality of patients according to the trimodal distribution to prepare this hospital to become a trauma center hospital.METHOD : This quantitative descriptive research used a cross-sectional method. Data were taken from medical records of patients admitted to the ER of UGM Academic Hospital in 2018-2023 based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was conducted from March to November 2023.RESULT : This research involved 58 patients consisting of 42 (72.4%) male and 16 (27.6%) female patients. The most common cause of death was brain injury (63%), followed by spinal cord injury (13.7%), multi-organ failure and sepsis (8.6%), cardiac and respiratory arrest (6.8%), and comorbidities patients (6.8%).CONCLUSION : The majority of trauma patients who died at the UGM Academic Hospital are male and aged 60-80 years with the main cause of death of brain injury. The patient dies at the late death stage based on trimodal distribution of death time.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a new viral infection that has become a global pandemic, resulting in extremely high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide, including in Indonesia. Vaccination is one of the strategies for preventing COVID-19 infection promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) to reduce COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. The Indonesian government supports the implementation of vaccination and conducts mass vaccination as a strategy to overcome the pandemic in Indonesia. The high immunization coverage resulted in increased use of vaccines, and events following immunization (AEFI) also increased. Reports on follow-up AEFI are needed as government policy references and information for the public. This study aims to describe the following events after the COVID-19 vaccine immunization and the incidence of the infection post vaccination. The study design was a cross-sectional study using primary and secondary data. The data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using Chi Square method by identifying association between demographic data and AEFI incidence. A total 131 respondents were included. Most respondents experienced AEFI after giving the first (77.1%) or second (71.9%) vaccine with the Sinovac vaccine. However, all reported mild AEFI. Most reported AEFIs were pain (48.8% and 49.6%), hungry (37.4% and 10.0%), and drowsiness (32.1% and 23.7%) after the first and the second vaccine. In conclusion, the prevalence of AEFI in the first and the second dose of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine is higher than that reported in the clinical trial study although the all AEFIs are considered as mild.
