Abstract

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a significant contributor to infant mortality, with millions of cases occurring globally each year. It is classified into early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), occurring within the first 72 hours of life, and late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS), occurring after 72 hours. Thrombocytopenia is a common finding in neonatal sepsis, and the degree of thrombocytopenia has been associated with the severity of the disease. Mean platelet volume (MPV) and immature platelet fraction (IPF) are markers of platelet size and immaturity, respectively, and may provide insights into the pathophysiology of sepsis and aid in its diagnosis. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital in Padang, Indonesia, from June to September 2024. The study included 41 neonates diagnosed with sepsis. Complete blood counts were performed using an automated hematology analyzer to determine MPV, IPF, and platelet count. Neonatal sepsis was classified as EONS (within the first 7 days of life) or LONS (from day 8 to 28). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the unpaired t-test. Results: The mean age of the neonates was 11.6 days. There were 19 neonates with EONS and 22 with LONS. The mean MPV was significantly higher in the LONS group (11.7 fL) compared to the EONS group (10.2 fL) (p=0.001). Similarly, the mean IPF was significantly higher in the LONS group (10.9%) compared to the EONS group (7.7%) (p=0.001). There was no significant difference in platelet count between the two groups. Conclusion: MPV and IPF were significantly higher in neonates with LONS compared to those with EONS, suggesting that these parameters may be useful biomarkers for differentiating between the two conditions. Further research with a larger sample size and longitudinal follow-up is needed to confirm these findings and to assess the potential clinical utility of MPV and IPF in the management of neonatal sepsis.

Abstract

Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a malignant tumor originating from placental trophoblast which causes mortality due to bleeding. Trophoblast produces beta hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Quantitative examination of serum beta hCG is used to support the diagnosis and management of GTN. Hysterectomy is performed in bleeding conditions as the main therapy besides chemotherapy. This study aims to analyze differences in beta hCG levels before and after hysterectomy in GTN patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods: Retrospective observational analytical research design cross-sectional from 21 samples of GTN patients for the period July 2021 to June 2023 at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Quantitative beta hCG level examination is carried out before and after the hysterectomy. The Shapiro-Wilk test was carried out for data normality and continued with the Wilcoxon nonparametric tests to find out significant differences in beta hCG levels. Results: The most common characteristics of GTN patients were age ≥35 years, namely 15 (71.4%) patients, multiparity in 14 (66.7%) patients, and indication for hysterectomy due to bleeding in 14 (66.7%) patients. The median beta hCG level before hysterectomy was 46,000 (117.10-653,874) mIU/mL and the median after hysterectomy was 113.3 (0.12-3,693) mIU/mL. Beta hCG levels after hysterectomy were found to be normal (<5 mIU/mL) in five patients (23.8%). There was a significant difference in beta hCG levels before and after hysterectomy (p <0.001). Conclusion: Beta hCG levels after hysterectomy decreased compared to before hysterectomy. Hysterectomy therapy is useful for reducing beta hCG levels in GTN patients.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a positive single-stranded RNA virus. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are not only dominated by respiratory tract symptoms but can also show symptoms of liver damage in severe COVID-19 patients. Liver damage that occurs can cause acute liver failure and result in death. Examination of liver damage marker parameters such as total bilirubin needs to be carried out as mortality increases in COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical research was conducted on 40 COVID-19 patients treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from July to December 2021. Examination of total bilirubin levels using the colorimetric diazo method. Bivariate analysis used the Mann-Whitney test to see the relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality. Results: The average age of the research subjects was 61.85 (1.40) years, with 65% men and 35% women. The mortality percentage in COVID-19 patients is 65%. The median total bilirubin level was 1.95 (0.5-2.8) mg/dL. The relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients was found to have a p-value of <0.001. The study results showed that the median total bilirubin level in COVID-19 patients who died was relatively higher, namely 2.20 (1.4-2.8) mg/dL, compared to those who did not die, namely 0.70 (0.5-1. 6) mg/dL. Conclusion: The results of this study show that there is a relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

The state of nutritional status and grade point average is a description of what elementary school children consume in the long term, which can be in the form of undernutrition or overnutrition. Nutrients such as protein carbohydrates, as well as other nutrients, especially iron, play a role in the body's metabolism in thinking processes or reasoning processes as well as concentration power and are very closely related to learning efficiency. With a good nutritional state is expected to have an impact on good learning achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and breakfast habits and learning achievement in grades IV and V SD Negeri 28 Sungai Langka, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency. The type of research used in this research is quantitative. The design in this study uses an analytical survey, using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were students in grades IV and V of SD Negeri 28 Sungai Langka, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency, totaling 51 people. The sample technique in this study uses Total Sampling. The results of the study determined that there was a relationship between nutritional status and learning achievement with a p-value of 0.028 and there was a relationship between breakfast habits and learning achievement in students of SD Negeri 02 Sungai Langka, Gedong Tataan District, Pesawaran Regency in 2019 with a p-value of 0.036 and OR: 4.071 . It is expected to provide education to students about the importance of choosing healthy and nutritious food and provide input to parents of students to provide healthy and nutritious food.
