Abstract

Background. Alteration of the endocrine system in the elderly people may be caused by changes in secreted hormone levels or decreased sensitivity of target organs. These changes also apply to thyroid function, which can cause disability, cognitive impairment, cardiovascular risk, and decreased muscle mass and strength in the elderly. Physiologically, there are several changes in the concentration of thyroid hormone Concentrations due to aging process, such as reduced TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), total T3 (Triiodothyronine) and free T levels, and increased rT3 (Reverse triiodothyronine), which is an inactive T (Thyroxine) metabolite in the serum. Even so,the free T4 and the total T44 remain unchanged, except for the sick. As a result, proper diagnosis and management are expected to minimize the deprivation experienced by the subjects due to a decrease in functional mobility.Aims. The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the levels of thyroid hormones and functional mobility among the elderly at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta.Method. Observational descriptive and analytical study with cross-section design was performed. Subjects were recruited used a consecutive sampling method for subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The statistical analysis used to find a correlation between the levels of the thyroid hormone and the performance of the functional mobility by Pearson Correlation test. Here the study used Spearman Correlation test if the conditions were not met the criteria. Significance limit with p < 0.05.Results. A total of 36 research subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The mean age was 69.67±6.164 years. Consisted of 16 (44.4%) male and 20 (55.6%) were female. The median of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) was 1.170 (0.19-3.64) μIU/mL and the median free T was 1.280 (0.80-2.34) ng/dL. TSH level in male was more than female with same time in gait speed. The male median TSH level was 1.370 (0.60-3.64) μIU/mL and women 0.980 (0.19-3.17) μIU/mL. Slow gait speed more than thirty second (high risk of falling), the TSH mean in mas was 2.690 μIU/mL and women 1.150 μIU/mL. The test results indicate thyroid hormone level has no significant effect on functional mobility performance (timed up and go test score) in the elderly subjects (p value=0.531) and with level Free T4 (p value=0.721).Conclusion: In this study population, thyroid hormones did not have a statistically significant correlation with functional mobility in the elderly. Males with higher serum levels and females with lower serum TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) were at increased risk of frailty.

Abstract

Introduction Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of dilated cardiomyopathy that occurs in the last month of pregnancy or within the first five months postpartum. Preeclampsia, characterized by hypertension and organ dysfunction, increases the risk of long-term maternal cardiovascular complications. Antenatal Care (ANC) has a key role in the early detection and prevention of conditions like PPCM in women with preeclampsia. Case Illustration:A 22-year-old primiparous woman presented with severe difficulty breathing, fatigue, and leg swelling. She had given birth 35 days earlier who had prior episodes of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Examination revealed lung crackles, murmur, a gallop heart rhythm, and pitting edema. ECG showed sinus tachycardia and right ventricular enlargement, while chest X-ray indicated cardiomegaly with pulmonary edema. Treatment consisted of diuretics, beta-blockers, fluid restriction, and ICU care. During her last pregnancy, she had experienced leg swelling since 37 weeks gestation but had irregular ANC visits, no obstetric ultrasound, and only took vitamins from a primary healthcare center. Discussion:This case highlights the association between preeclampsia and PPCM, a severe Peripartum cardiovascular complication. The patient exhibited classic PPCM symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and leg edema, with clear signs of cardiac dysfunction. A key factor was poor pregnancy monitoring, as she did not attend ANC regularly, leading to undiagnosed preeclampsia and its complications. Conclusion:PPCM is a serious cardiovascular complication related to preeclampsia. Regular ANC, including ultrasound screening and blood pressure monitoring, is essential to early detection and prevention of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.
