Abstract

Background: Scabies is a common parasitic infestation of the skin caused by Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies is a common public health problem that occurs throughout the world with an estimated prevalence of 300 million individuals. Factors that lead to the high prevalence of scabies include high humidity, lack of sanitation, overcrowding, malnutrition, poor personal hygiene, knowledge, attitude, and behaviour of less supportive healthy lifestyle. Although scabies is not fatal or life-threatening, but the disease can be severe and persistent, which may lead to weakness and secondary skin infections. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of scabies in children at Dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Methods: A retrospective study within 2009 to 2011 using medical record of new patients, aged < 14 years old. Results: The total patients of scabies were 282 patients (5,9% of all pediatric patients in outpatient clinic). Most common group of age was 5-14 years old with the total 180 patients (63,8%), the majority of complaint was itching at night (90,1%), the most frequent location of the lesions was in the web of the fingers and the most common source of transmission is the patient's family  (51,4%). The most given topical scabisid was Permethrin cream 5% (97,3%). Conclusions: The diagnosis of scabies could be established by anamnesis and physical examination. Patient's education is needed to reduce the reinfection and cut the source of transmission.Key words: scabies, children, Sarcoptes scabiei, retrospective study.

Abstract

Backgroud: Alopecia is hair loss of the scalp that occurs in mostly men and about 30% of women during their lifetime. Prevalence of alopecia is increased along with age in both men and women. Using of dermoscope can help the diagnostic accuracy and avoid scalp biopsy for diagnosis. Purpose: Identifying dermoscope examination results and determine the pathophysiology of dermoscope features. Methods: Cross sectional and descriptiove observational study to all of alopecia patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria at outpatient clinic Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in December 2014 through February 2015 performed dermoscope examination Result: There were 20 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, consisted of 3 patients with androgenetic alopecia, 8 alopecia areata, 4 tinea capitis, 2 discoid lupus erythematosus, 1 psoriasis vulgaris, 1 seborheic dermatitis, and 1 trichotilomania. Conclusion: Most of all dermoscope features accordance with the description in the literature, the most diagnosis is androgenetic alopecia.Key words: alopecia, dermoscope, zig-zag hair, black dots.

Abstract

 Stroke is a functional disorder attributed to acute focal or global brain injury by vascular cause and persists more than 24 hours. Stroke is divided into ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is a measurement of erythrocyte volume variation in blood circulation. Increased RDW reflects the inflammation that plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis in stroke. This study aims to analyze differences in RDW-CV values in patients with stroke. The design was cross-sectional with a retrospective approach, secondary data from medical records of inpatients with stroke from January to December 2016 at the Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. The study population consisted of 490 patients aged ≥ 18 years old. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Anova one way tests were used to analyze differences in RDW-CV values in patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Mann-Whitney test results showed no significant difference in RDW-CV values between groups of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (p 0.96). Kruskal-Wallis and Anova one way tests showed no significant difference in RDW-CV values between four groups of patient outcomes in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (p 0.13 and p 0.35 consecutively). There were no significant RDW-CV values between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. There was no significant difference between RDW-CV values of four groups of patient outcomes in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. RDW-CV values cannot be used to distinguish both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, including the prediction of stroke mortality
