Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in the world. Vitamin D is known to have an influence on the cardiovascular system through the role of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) expressed by vascular endothelial smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes. This literature review analyze the role of vitamin D in relation to the risk of cardiovascular disease through a study of scientific articles from Google Scholar and Pubmed. The results showed that patients with severe vitamin D deficiency (serum 25(OH) levels <10 ng/ml) had an increased risk of myocardial infarction with OR 4.5 (95% CI 2.2–9.2), and increased risk of PAD with OR 3.872 (95% CI: 1.168–12.841), while vitamin D deficiency (serum 25(OH) levels <20 ng/ml) caused an increased risk of acute ischemic stroke with OR 16.64 (95% CI: 5 .66–42.92; p < 0.001). Administration of 1x 600,000IU or 2x300,000IU intramuscular vitamin D in coronary heart disease patients with deficiency showed significant reduction in the inflammatory marker hsCRP and improved endothelial function. However, in clinical trials, significant but inconsistent results were obtained due to differences in the cut off value for Vit D deficiency, diversity in age, gender, variations in polymorphisms, smoking habits, physical activity, body weight, and various comorbidities suffered by patients.

Abstract

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in people >60 years of age in developed countries. The pathogenesis of neovascular AMD involves increased choroidal vascular permeability, leading to hypoxia and the production of pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic factors, particularly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Treatment of neovascular AMD involves anti-VEGF therapy, which inhibits abnormal blood vessel growth. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectivity and side effects of each Anti-VEGF agent. Based on this background, the author is interested in conducting a literature review that summarizes the effectivity and side effects of each Anti-VEGF agent. The method used was Literature Review. Journals were collected using GoogleScholar or Google Scholar, PubMed and Proquest within the last 10 years. A total of 10 journals that met the inclusion-exclusion criteria were reviewed and tested for eligibility with the Ottawa score. The results of this literature review showed that anti-VEGF agents including bevacizumab, ranibizumab, aflibercept, pegaptanib sodium, brolucizumab and abicipar pegol have been shown to be equally effective in improving vision and maintaining stable vision in neovascular AMD patients. However, these anti-VEGF treatments can also cause side effects such as intraocular inflammation, increased intraocular pressure and vascular problems.

Abstract

It is known that HIV/AIDS remains a global health problem. Living with HIV/AIDS can have significant impacts on various aspects of life, including mental health, social relationships, and overall well-being. Addressing stigma and discrimination is crucial in improving the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS, along with providing access to proper medical care and support services. This study aims to investigate factors that impact the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in   Kupang City, Indonesia from April 2023 to July 2023 in hospitals and NGOs in the city. The design of this study was a cross-sectional study. The study involved 98 respondents, who were PLWHA taking ARV therapy at Prof. Dr. WZ Johannes Public Hospital Kupang and Wirasakti Army Hospital Kupang. The data was collected using the Oslo Social Support Scale (OSSS-3) Questionnaire. This study found that most respondents have moderate social support. The study identified several factors significantly impacting the quality of life for HIV/AIDS patients such as social support (p 0.001), adherence to ARV therapy (p 0.000), depression levels (p 0.007), education level (p 0.002), income level (p 0.012), and the duration of the diagnosis (p 0.044). This study contributes to add valuable information for a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals living with HIV/AIDS, paving the way for targeted interventions and support strategies.

Abstract

Infection is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality in burns. It is known that about 67% of wound swab cultures are positive for bacterial infection. Burn infection occurs when the skin as the first line of defense is disturbed so that it becomes a good ground for bacterial growth. Literature review by searching through electronic databases such as PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar with the keywords. Bacteria that are often found to cause burn infection are Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24.95%), Staphylococcus aureus (24.05%), Acinetobacter sp (17.09%), and Klebsiella sp (15.19%). Factors causing infection are age, degree of burn, hospitalization of more than 10 days, drug resistance, and inadequate wound management. The most common pathogen causing burn infection is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, because it can grow in a humid environment. The proper use of definitive antibiotics to fight infection is very important. Piperacillin-Tazobactam, Imipenem, Colistin, and Polymyxin B have high sensitivity to gram-negative bacteria, while Vancomycin and Linezolid are effective against gram-positive bacteria and also in treating MRSA.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a growing global health issue. According to WHO data from 2022, one in eight people worldwide lives with obesity, and 21.8% of the adult population in Indonesia suffers from obesity. Bariatric surgery approaches, typically gastric sleeve and gastric bypass have become one of the options to address this problem. Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy of weight loss in patients undergoing bariatric surgery at EMC Alam Sutera Hospital between 2021 and 2023. Methods: This research is an analytical descriptive study with a retrospective cohort approach. The sample size was determined using purposive sampling technique, with a total of 70 samples. Data were obtained from medical records at EMC Alam Sutera Hospital from 2021 to 2023. Results: Out of 70 patients with an average age of 37.1 years, 88.6% were female and 11.4% were male. No significant differences were found in the variables (p > 0.05). The average weight loss for both surgeries was 5.9 kg, with no statistically significant difference. A higher correlation was observed for gastric sleeve (0.996) compared to gastric bypass (0.985). Conclusion: It can be concluded that both gastric bypass and gastric sleeve are proven effective in reducing weight. Both methods show strong correlations, although gastric sleeve has a slightly higher correlation. There is no significant difference in effectiveness between the two methods, with p > 0.05 for all measured parameters.

Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death from heart disease worldwide. Several studies have identified risk factors that increase mortality among ACS patients, including advanced age, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. This study aims to evaluate the association between these risk factors and mortality in ACS patients at Hospital X Jakarta between September 2023 and September 2024. Contains This study used a retrospective cohort design with analysis of medical record data of patients with ACS. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests to determine the association of age, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease with mortality in patients with ACS. Contains A total of 84 patients with a mean age of 59.49 years met the study criteria. The majority of patients had NSTEMI (61.9%) and 56% had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Mortality occurred in 4.8% of the patients. The results of the analysis showed that advanced age (≥60 years) was significantly associated with mortality in SCA patients (p=0.047; RR=4.50). Chronic kidney disease was also significantly associated with mortality (p=0.011; RR=8.16). However, type 2 diabetes mellitus did not show a significant association with mortality (p=0.092). Advanced age and chronic kidney disease were significant predictors of mortality in patients with ACS, whereas type 2 diabetes mellitus was not significantly associated with mortality.
