Abstract

In sepsis, there is an increase in oxidative stress which plays important role in further physiological derangement. Due to its potent antioxidant effect, vitamin C has been proposed as a potential adjunct treatment in patients with sepsis. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of vitamin C administration in patients with sepsis. A systematic search was conducted using electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane with keywords combination of vitamin C/ascorbic acid and sepsis/septic. The limits of the search included English language, human subjects, and adults. To limit the confounding effect, only studies with vitamin C monotherapy were considered for inclusion. Seven relevant studies comprising five clinical trials and two retrospective studies were included in this paper for critical appraisal. Most studies found some clinical benefits with the use of vitamin C in patients with sepsis compared to placebo, such as a reduction in SOFA score and mortality. However, these favourable outcomes were not consistent in all studies. In conclusion, vitamin C is a promising adjunct treatment option in patients with sepsis, however further large, optimized multicenter trials are needed to definitively confirm its benefits. Keywords: vitamin C, ascorbic acid, sepsis, septic shock.   Manfaat Vitamin C Dosis Tinggi untuk Pasien Sepsis Abstrak Kondisi sepsis menyebabkan peningkatan stres oksidatif yang berperan penting dalam menyebabkan gangguan fisiologis lebih lanjut. Karena memiliki efek antioksidan yang kuat, vitamin C telah diusulkan sebagai terapi adjuvan yang menjanjikan pada pasien sepsis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi manfaat pemberian vitamin C pada pasien sepsis. Pencarian sistematis dilakukan menggunakan database elektronik PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, dan Cochrane dengan kombinasi kata kunci vitamin C/asam askorbat dan sepsis/ septik. Batas pencarian yaitu bahasa Inggris, subjek manusia, dan usia dewasa. Untuk membatasi efek perancu, hanya studi yang menggunakan monoterapi vitamin C yang dipertimbangkan untuk dimasukkan. Tujuh studi relevan yang terdiri dari lima uji klinis dan dua studi retrospektif dimasukkan dalam tulisan ini untuk telaah kritis. Sebagian besar studi mendapatkan manfaat klinis penggunaan vitamin C pada pasien sepsis dibandingkan dengan plasebo, misalnya penurunan skor SOFA dan angka mortalitas, namun hasil positif ini tidak konsisten dalam semua penelitian. Sebagai kesimpulan, vitamin C adalah pilihan terapi adjuvan yang menjanjikan pada pasien sepsis, namun butuh penelitian multisenter yang lebih besar dan optimal untuk memastikan manfaatnya secara definitif. Kata kunci: vitamin C, asam askorbat, sepsis, syok sepsis

Abstract

Since March 2020, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has engulfed the world, including Indonesia, for nearly two years. SARS-CoV-2 has undergone several mutations during its evolution as a pathogen, resulting in various variants of global concern. Variants of this virus are suspected to impede the outbreak resolution and possibly causing the outbreak to spiral out of control. There is still considerable debate and research underway regarding the new SARS-CoV-2 variants. Rapid transmission mechanisms and widespread vaccination coverage have accelerated the virus’s mutation rate and resulted in numerous new variants. To date, this has resulted in the discovery of a new variant Omicron (B.1.1.529) in November 2021 in South Africa, which has since spread to 103 countries. Omicron is designated a Variant of Concern (VoC) due to its more powerful transmission than the previous variant. Although some information indicates that the symptoms associated with this variant are typically mild, the rapid transmission of Omicron can increase the next wave of COVID-19 cases. Additional research is required to determine transmissibility, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and proper management. As a result, we conducted an adjunct to studies on various COVID-19 mutations and variants until January 2022.

Abstract

BACKGROUND According to the WHO Target Product Profiles for COVID-19 Vaccines, vaccine development should be indicated for active immunization in all populations, in conjunction with other control measures to curtail the pandemic. Several RBD-based COVID-19 vaccines are being evaluated and have shown advantages. CoV2-Bio was developed based on the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 RBD amino acid sequence, representing residues of the spike protein of the Wuhan-Hu-1 isolate. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of CoV2-Bio when compared to CoronaVac. METHODS This was an observer-blinded, randomized controlled prospective study of safety and immunogenicity of the CoV2-Bio in healthy adult population. A total of 54 healthy participants were randomized to receive either 3 doses of CoV2-Bio or 2 doses of CoronaVac, and 1 dose of placebo, administered 28 days apart. Participants were followed up for safety and immunogenicity. IgG antibody titers (ELISA) and neutralization assay against Wuhan and Delta strains were evaluated at baseline, Days 28, 56, and 84. We assessed seropositive rate, seroconversion, and GMT as parameters. RESULTS Both vaccines were well tolerated and induced good antibody response. The incidence rate and intensity of local and systemic adverse events did not differ between vaccine and control groups. The vaccine group showed a larger proportion of seroconversion (4-fold increase antibody) (87.5% versus 46.2%, p = 0.001) and higher GMT (305.9 AU/ml versus 102.4 AU/ml, p<0.001) when compared to control group. CONCLUSIONS 3 doses of the CoV2-Bio are safe and immunogenic in healthy adult population. 3 doses of the CoV2-Bio COVID-19 vaccine produce a better immunogenicity profile compared to CoronaVac.

Abstract

Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that remains a significant global health problem despite the availability of an effective vaccine. Measles re-emergence is driven by gaps in immunization coverage, waning post-vaccination immunity, and increased population mobility. In adults, measles infection is associated with greater disease severity compared to children. This literature review was conducted by reviewing recent scientific publications addressing the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, complications, and prevention of measles, with a focus on the adult population.  Measles is caused by an RNA virus of the Paramyxoviridae family and is transmitted through respiratory droplets and aerosols. Typical clinical features include fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and a maculopapular rash with a centrifugal and cephalocaudal distribution. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings and confirmed by laboratory tests such as RT-PCR and measles-specific IgM serology. Measles infection causes significant immunosuppression, including immune amnesia, which increases susceptibility to secondary infections. Management is primarily supportive and vitamin A supplementation has been shown to reduce mortality in certain populations. In adults, complications tend to be more severe, particularly pneumonia as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, as well as neurological complications such as encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Measles vaccination with the MMR vaccine remains the main prevention strategy. However, its implementation faces challenges, including gaps in immunization coverage, vaccine hesitancy, and limited adult immunization record system. Measles in adults remains a significant health concern with a high risk of severe complication. Strengthening immunization program, improving public education, and developing integrated surveillance system are essential to reduce disease incidence and burden.
