Abstract

Drug allergy is an adverse drug reaction that occurs through an immune reaction that occurs through IgE or a rapid hypersensitivity reaction with various mechanisms and clinical presentations. One of the therapeutic modalities for drug allergies is corticosteroids. In allergic processes, corticosteroids can suppress the production and effects of humoral factors involved in the inflammatory response, inhibit the migration of leukocytes to sites of inflammation, and interfere with the function of endothelial cells, granulocytes, mast cells, and fibroblasts. This literature review aimed to describe the role of corticosteroids in the management of drug allergies. Corticosteroids are used very widely in the treatment of various allergic diseases because of their strong anti-inflammatory properties. Corticosteroids inhibit the synthesis of a number of cytokines, such as the interleukins IL-1 to IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). In conclusion, corticosteroids are one of the therapeutic modalities in various manifestations of drug allergies. Every drug allergy gets the anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids with different choices, routes, and doses for each manifestation.

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia is a frequent complication in patients with cirrhosis. Thrombocytopenia is generally divided into mild, moderate, and severe thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia in liver cirrhosis not only increases the risk of bleeding during surgery but can also have an impact on patient management, such as liver biopsy, administration of antiviral therapy, and postponement of elective surgery. The pathophysiology of thrombocytopenia in chronic liver disease can be caused by decreased platelet production, sequestration in the spleen, and increased platelet destruction. Partial splenic embolization (PSE) is one option for treating thrombocytopenia in chronic liver disease. PSE is an effective procedure in treating complications associated with hypersplenism and portal hypertension, such as esophageal varices, pancytopenia, portal hypertensive gastropathy and ascites.

Abstract

Background: Proctitis, encompassing various etiologies, significantly diminishes patient quality of life. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) has emerged as a potential therapeutic modality, yet its efficacy and safety profile remain to be fully elucidated. This meta-analysis aimed to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness and safety of APC across diverse proctitis subtypes. Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases was conducted, spanning 2013 to 2023, to identify pertinent studies. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing APC with alternative treatments or placebo in proctitis management were included. The primary outcome was clinical improvement, defined as symptom reduction or amelioration of endoscopic findings. Secondary outcomes encompassed adverse events and quality of life metrics. Results: A total of 15 studies (5 RCTs and 10 observational studies) encompassing 2042 patients met the inclusion criteria. APC demonstrated a significant association with clinical response improvement compared to other treatments or placebo (OR 2.58, 95% CI 2.14-3.12, p<0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed APC's efficacy in both radiation-induced and non-radiation-induced proctitis. Adverse event incidence was comparable between APC and other treatments, with no significant differences in severe complications. Conclusion: APC appears to be an effective and safe therapeutic option for various proctitis subtypes, warranting consideration in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: Ascites, a common complication of cirrhosis, significantly impacts patient morbidity and mortality. This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of various pharmacological and interventional approaches for ascites management in patients with cirrhosis. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted from January 2013 to December 2024, identifying randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different pharmacological agents (diuretics, albumin, vasopressin receptor antagonists) and interventional procedures (large-volume paracentesis, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt [TIPS]) in cirrhotic patients with ascites. The primary outcome was complete ascites resolution. Secondary outcomes included time to ascites recurrence, adverse events, and mortality. A random-effects model was used to pool data, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic. Results: Twelve RCTs (n=2848 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Diuretics plus albumin was superior to diuretics alone in achieving complete ascites resolution (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.65-2.88, p<0.001; I²=38%). Vasopressin receptor antagonists were comparable to diuretics plus albumin in terms of ascites resolution (OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.88-1.35, p=0.42; I²=12%) but associated with a lower incidence of hyponatremia (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.35-0.78, p=0.002; I²=23%). Large-volume paracentesis was more effective than repeated small-volume paracentesis for ascites control (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.31-2.34, p<0.001; I²=41%). TIPS was associated with a higher rate of complete ascites resolution compared to large-volume paracentesis (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.78-3.38, p<0001; I²=35%) but a higher risk of hepatic encephalopathy (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.48-3.30, p<0.001; I²=15%). Albumin reduced mortality in patients undergoing large-volume paracentesis (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.49-0.94, p=0.02; I²=0%). Conclusion: This meta-analysis supports the use of diuretics plus albumin, vasopressin receptor antagonists, large-volume paracentesis, and TIPS for ascites management in cirrhosis, with the choice of therapy individualized based on patient characteristics, ascites severity, and the risk of complications.

Abstract

Thalassemia is a blood disorder which characterized with decreased or absence of globin chain in red blood cell thus disrupted hemoglobin synthesis. Hb E/ β-Thalassemia is a thalassemia syndrome of intermedia severity with a very heterogeneous clinical spectrum. The most presented sign and symptoms in Hb E/ β-Thalassemia are pallor and abdominal mass enlargement. One of the most accurate and fast methods to diagnose thalassemia is High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Hb E/ β-Thalassemia based on clinical severity, can start with blood transfusions, and when serum ferritin level increased, it can also begin with iron chelation therapy to prevent complication from iron overload in the body. We have reported a case of a 28-year-old patient diagnosed with Hb E/ β-Thalassemia, with hemoglobin level is 5,1 g/dL and serum ferritin 1029 ng/mL, started to treat with blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy. Early detection on Hb E/ β-Thalassemia patient will give better outcome to prevent complications caused by the disease it self or treatment given.

Abstract

Non-contagious diseases have continued to increase over the years. In 2016, about 71 percent of the world's causes of death were non-contagious diseases (NCD) that kill 36 million people annually. Major risk factors of the non-contagious disease are metabolic factors, behavioral factors, and environmental factors. Riskesdas 2018 shows the prevalence of non-contagious diseases increasing compared with Riskesdas 2013, including cancer, stroke, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. The purpose of this activity is to increase promotive and preventive effort and education in the community, as well as improved screening and early detection through health education, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and the abdominal ultrasound of society in Kampung Batu Busuk, Kelurahan Limau Manis, Kecamatan Pauh, Padang on Saturday, November 13th, 2021. Such activities include medical examinations of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and abdominal ultrasound. From the activity of the examination of the health of 41 persons, 13 were hypertensive, 2 (32%) were hyperglycemia, 24 (58.5 percent) were dyslipidemia, and 6 were fatty liver. To counter the problem of non-contagious diseases, comprehensive and holistic intervention efforts must be made, that is, promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative, as a unified continum of care. Disorders that are not treatable during an activity are recommended for treatment at a nearby health care center.

Abstract

Infectious diseases are still a major health issue that requires serious treatment. The covid-19 is now one of the significant infectious diseases worldwide marked by rapid contagion and global spread. The world health organization (who) has defined covid-19 as a global pandemic and the government has set public health emergencies in Indonesia, obliging countermeasures. The covid-19 countermeasures should continue massively with several strategies. In addition to promotive strategies and the application of health protocols, another effective strategy is needed to break off the chain of disease transmission through vaccination efforts. The purpose of the activity is to do the education about covid-19 and the covid-19 vaccination of the people in Kampung Batu Busuak, Kelurahan Limau Manis, Kecamatan Pauh, Padang. The implementation of this activity includes the counseling of covid-19 and the covid-19 vaccination on Saturday, November 13th, 2021. Before counseling, the Questionnaire was issued to assess a public knowledge level on covid-19 and a covid-19 vaccination. From a questionnaire on covid-19 and covid-19 vaccination, the total of people who have already been vaccinated twice is 22 people and 4 with the covid-19 vaccine once. Therefore, still needed counseling about covid-19 and covid-19 vaccination to enhance awareness of the society towards the importance of covid-19 vaccination.

Abstract

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, yet they remain rare, particularly in patients under 40. Their clinical presentation is highly variable, often posing a diagnostic challenge. Severe anemia as the initial manifestation is common, but diagnostic confusion with benign lesions on initial biopsy is a significant clinical pitfall. Case presentation: A 39-year-old male presented with a three-month history of epigastric pain, early satiety, significant weight loss, and profound fatigue. His initial hemoglobin was a life-threatening 3.8 g/dL, consistent with profound iron deficiency anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a large, partially obstructing mass in the gastric corpus. However, initial endoscopic biopsies were paradoxically reported as a benign hyperplastic polyp. In contrast, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen characterized a massive, 9.9 x 7.3 x 13.5 cm heterogeneously enhancing mass suggestive of malignancy. Given the stark discrepancy between imaging and histology, a decision was made for surgical intervention. The patient underwent a total gastrectomy. Final histopathological analysis of the resected specimen, supported by immunohistochemistry, confirmed a high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumor with a high mitotic rate. Conclusion: This case underscores the critical importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for GIST in patients with unexplained iron deficiency anemia, even in younger age groups. It highlights the potential for sampling error with endoscopic biopsies of large submucosal tumors, which can lead to dangerously misleading diagnoses. Clinicians must integrate clinical, radiological, and endoscopic findings to guide management, especially when histopathological results are incongruent with the overall clinical picture.
