Contraception is a very important issue in women with epilepsy, since very broad questions taken in applying it to prevent unplanned pregnancy. The choice of contraceptive methods must be related to how the mechanism of action of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), the contraceptive itself, and both interactions. Hormonal contraception can induce metabolism of AEDs and lead to increasing of seizure frequency, and in the other hand AEDs may decrease the blood levels of hormonal contraception. Therefore, physician must consider the type of contraception being used before prescribing AEDs. Additionally, they should emphasize the interaction between them in counseling, to assure that women with epilepsy have time to decide which type will be best use for them. This challenging matter needs better recommendation for practice, both neurologist and gynecologist.Keywords: antiepileptic drug, contraception, women with epilepsy

Premature ovarian failure (POF) or premature menopause refers to development of amenorrhoea due to cessation of ovarian function before the age of 40 years. The diagnosis is based on elevated FSH levels in menopausal range (usually above 40 IU/l) detected on at least two occasions a few weeks apart. The term “epilepsy” defines a group of disorders characterized by an enduring predisposition of the brain to produce seizures. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis regulation is affected by the abnormal neurophysiology of seizures, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian associated hormones are affected by medications used to treat seizures in women with epilepsy. Ictal and interictal discharges can disrupt the normal activity of brain structures, including the limbic system, amygdala, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland. Management of epilepsy in women requires not only knowledge of epilepsy, but also recognition of the various roles and priorities women have in their lives (education, career development, child rearing, the role as carer within the extended family), and attention to gender-specific issues and their impact on patients’ wellbeing throughout life.Keywords: premature ovarian failure (POF), epilepsy

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is a non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) which occurs as the disease progresses and affects quality of life. Many efforts have been developed in early detection of cognitive disorders, one of which is the examination of tau protein biomarkers, where the tau protein that undergoes pathological changes to form neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) is found in Alzheimer's disease and PD and plays a role in cognitive impairment. However, the role of tau in PD is still controversial. This study aims to assess the relationship between serum tau levels and cognitive function and the factors that affect cognitive function in PD patients. Methods: This cross-sectional design was conducted at the RSUP DR. M Djamil Padang. During the period March to August 2020, 62 research subjects were obtained. Cognitive function examination was carried out by using the MoCA-Ina test and examination of serum tau levels using the Elisa method. The relationship between categorical variables was tested by Chi square and differences in serum tau levels in the group with and without cognitive impairment were tested with the Mann Whitney test, considered statistically significant if the p value <0.05. Results: With Moca Ina examination, it was found that 67.7% of patients had impaired cognitive function. The mean serum tau level was 198.004 ± 162.69 ng / L.There was a significant relationship between education level and degree of disease with cognitive function (p <0.05) and there was no difference in mean serum tau levels between groups with and without cognitive impairment. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between education level and degree of disease with cognitive function and there is no difference in mean serum tau protein levels between the cognitive impaired group and the cognitive normal group.

Introduction: There are many areas of brain degeneration in people with Parkinson's disease. The dopaminergic degeneration process in the midbrain causes early symptoms of sleep disturbances. Hypocretin produced by the hypothalamus is involved in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. Some research results regarding the relationship between plasma hypocretin levels and sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease are still controversial. Method: This research is a cross sectional study in Neurology Polyclinic Dr. M. Djamil Padang and Network Hospital. All research subjects measured hypocretin levels and sleep disorders using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Statistical analysis was performed on a computerized basis using IBM SPSS statistics version 23.0 for windows. Result: A total of 60 patients with Parkinson's disease were included in this study, 30 subjects experienced sleep disorders and 30 others had no sleep disorders. There was a significant difference in lower plasma hypocretin levels in the Parkinson's group with sleep disorders, namely 81.817 ± 22.770 and in the group without sleep disorders, plasma hypocretin levels were found to be 255.416 ± 226.590 (p = 0.000). There was no statistical difference in clinical degree, age, duration of illness between the Parkinson's group with sleep disorders and the group without sleep disorders p > 0.05. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in hypocretin levels against the sleep disorder group in people with Parkinson's disease. In this study, there was no association between age, clinical degree of Parkinson's disease, and duration of Parkinson's disease and sleep disturbances. Degeneration in the olfactory bulb area, hypothalamus, and brainstem can precede dopaminergic degeneration in the midbrain and cause sleep disturbance symptoms.

Introduction: The Knowledge, perception and attitude about epilepsy in developing country, including Indonesia is still low. These problems can cause stigma and discrimination to the patient. Society still has the view that epilepsy is not a disease, but because of the inclusion of evil spirits, possessions, witches or a curse. Furthermore, the information gap between rural and urban society could contribute to the issues. Aims: This study was aimed to explore the knowledge, perception and attitude about epilepsy between rural and urban society in Padang. Method: This study used cross sectional comparative design. This study was conducted on February – June 2018 at Ulak Karang (urban) and Bungus (rural) public health center. The subjects of this study were 140 visitors of both public health centers. The inclusions criteria of this study was all visitors ≥ 17 years old and the exclusion criteria was all incomplete data. Data was taken by using questionnaire with 13 close questions. These data was analyzed with SPSS 22. Mannwhitney tests and Chi Square test were used to compare the knowledge, perception and attitude from the two groups. A P value below 0.05 was considered asstatistically significant. Result: From demographic data, there were no significant differences between urban and rural communities. In terms of knowledge about epilepsy, there are significant differences regarding the causes of epilepsy with a value of p = 0.002. In addition, perceptions of epilepsy stigma that differed significantly in urban and rural communities were regarding malformations in epilepsy patients with p = 0.046. As for community attitudes towards epilepsy patients, there were no significant differences between urban and rural areas Conclusion: Stigma is a frightening thing for people with epilepsy, because it can interfere with their social interactions and also reduce the opportunity to get a job and also the opportunity to get married.

Low magnesium levels are known to be associated with increased risk of diabetes mellitus and its complications. In addition, HbA1c levels are also known to have a correlation with further diabetes complications such as diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common microvascular complication in diabetes mellitus, whose incidence is associated with disability and mortality rates in diabetic patients. This study aimed to assess the correlation between serum magnesium levels and HbA1c with the severity of diabetic neuropathy. This was a cross-sectional study. Severity of diabetic neuropathy is classified according to the Baba's Diabetic Neuropathy Classification (BDC). All subjects were examined for serum magnesium and HbA1C levels. This study consisted of 46 diabetes mellitus subjects, with 69.6% of the subjects suffering from diabetic neuropathy. The average magnesium level in this study was 1.87 mg/dl ± 0.245 and the median HbA1c level was 8.6 %. There was no significant correlation between serum magnesium levels and HbA1c with the incidence and severity of diabetic neuropathy (p>0.05). However, there was a significant negative correlation between magnesium levels and HbA1c levels in diabetic neuropathy patients.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the global health problems. The most common cause of LBP is disc degeneration. Modic changes (MC) are the most common MRI features in patients with disc degeneration. As a result of cartilage and disc tissue damage, CCL 5 is released and modulates pain responses in the dorsal root ganglion. This study aims to determine the relationship between CCL5 levels and the description of Modic changes on MRI with pain levels in patients with low back pain. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The research subjects were LBP patients who were treated at the Neurology Polyclinic, Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, in the range of March 2021-December 2021, who meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be taken blood to assess CCL5 plasma levels, pain assessment using the McGill Pain Questionnaire, and undergo an MRI examination. Results: A total of 52 subjects consisted of 23 men and 29 women with an age range of 34-77 years. Most of the Modic changes were found in the type 2 group. Based on the pain scale, there were two groups with mild pain and moderate pain. On examination of plasma CCL 5 levels, the median value of plasma CCL5 levels was 303,271 ng/L. There was a significant relationship between plasma CCL5 levels and pain levels in patients with low back pain (p = 0.004). There was no significant relationship between Modic changes and the severity of pain. Conclusion: Plasma CCL5 levels are associated with pain levels in patients with low back pain, while Modic changes are not associated with pain severity.
