Background: Brain imaging is the main modality in establishing the diagnosis of intracranial tumors. Therefore, by using appropriate imaging modalities, lesions can be identified and this is useful in determining management and monitoring of the therapeutic process. This study aimed to describe the use of imaging modalities and the characteristics of imaging findings in diagnosing intracranial tumor patients.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study obtained data from medical resumes at the Neurology Ward of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, collected by total sampling method. Data on patients with intracranial tumors who underwent imaging examinations in January 2017–December 2019 were taken, including demographical and imaging characteristics data, divided by tumor type.Results: Of 206 data, the imaging modalities used were contrast CT scan (45.6%), non-contrast CT scan (34.5%), multimodality imaging (13.6%), contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (3.9%), non-contrast MRI (2.4%), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) (0.5%). The most common primary tumor was a solitary lesion (89.4%) located in the right hemisphere in 38.1% of subjects. Metastatic tumors were found mostly as multiple lesions (63.4%) located in both supratentorial and infratentorial in 25.8% of the subjects. Perifocal edema was found in 75% of patients in both tumor types.Conclusions: Contrast CT scan is the most frequently used imaging modality. The most common radiological finding is perifocal edema. Primary tumors are commonly found in solitary numbers, and are located in supratentorial on the right hemisphere. Metastatic tumors are commonly found in multiple numbers and are located both in supratentorial and infratentorial.

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of many neurodegenerative diseases with symptomatic management, and with the correct pattern of pharmacological treatment PD may have an improved quality of life for a minimum of three years. This study aimed to illustrate treatment patterns and comorbidities in PD patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study by using total medical records of the period of 2013 to 2018. PD patients receiving pharmacological treatments such as levodopa, anticholinergics, dopamine agonists, or combined therapy were included. Patients with incomplete data and with the previous history of other neurological diseases before PD were excluded from this study.Results: In total, there were 57 patients with PD, of whom most of them were males (79%). Age-wise, PD was most common in 60 to 69-year-olds (32%). The most commonly used treatment pattern was the administration of levodopa (33%). Patients aged younger than 30 years were administered anticholinergics, whereas the older patients (>60 years old) mostly were given levodopa. Comorbidities after PD diagnosis were mostly stroke, dementia, and epilepsy.Conclusions: Males are most affected by PD, and the most commonly used treatment pattern is levodopa monotherapy. PD is most commonly found in patients aged 60 to 69 years. Patients aged below 30 years are administered anticholinergics. The most common comorbidities found are a stroke, followed by dementia and epilepsy. By recognizing the patterns and comorbidities of this disease, the study may provide some insights into choosing the most effective pharmacological therapy for PD.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage stroke is a type of stroke which is considered to have a higher mortality risk than ischemic stroke. Preventive programs are needed to minimize stroke cases by reducing the risk factors. This study aimed to identify the demographic and risk factors of intracerebral hemorrhage stroke patients in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2007–2016. Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study. Data were obtained from Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital medical resume January 2007- December 2016 by total sampling. Subjects of this study were intracerebral hemorrhage stroke patients hospitalized in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. The period of study was from August 2016 until May 2017. Variables included in this study were gender, occupation, education level, age; risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, and kidney disease. The collected data were presented in percentage.Results: The highest demographic prevalence in 10 years was in female, non-occupational person, elementary school graduate, and frequently found in the 50-59 age group. The highest risk factor was hypertension, but it slightly decreased from 78.8% in 2007-2008 to 55.3% in 2015-2016, followed by dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia which increased in 2007-2008 and 2015-2016. (Dyslipidemia: from 8.1% to 23.8%; Hyperuricemia: from 2.5% to11.2%; Diabetes Mellitus: from 6.6% to 8.9%).Conclusions: The demographic of intracerebral hemorrhage stroke shows a high prevalence found in females, older age, non-occupational persons, and elementary school graduates. Among the risk factors, hypertension is most likely to happen in ten years.
