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: Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus called SARSCoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) has caused an international outbreak of respiratory illness described as COVID-19. This study aimed to describe the difference in the survival rate of COVID-19 induced AKI with hemodialysis and COVID-19 in patients with CKD on hemodialysis in Dr. M Djamil General Hospitals. Also, in this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of data on the factors that may be affected by COVID-19 survival rates in patients with COVID-19 induced AKI with hemodialysis and COVID-19 in patients with CKD on hemodialysis. This study was conducted to analyze the survival of COVID-19 with initiated or regular HD patients in Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study was conducted from January 2021 to July 2021 in Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Data for this study was collected through medical records of patients admitted for COVID-19 with CKD in hemodialysis and acute renal failure induced by COVID-19 to show the demographics, comorbidities, and survival rates of the patients who underwent hemodialysis. Results: Factors associated with survival in COVID-19 with hemodialysis were COVID-19 severity and abnormal potassium serum level (Table 3). Moderate COVID-19 patients tend to survive than severe COVID-19 patients (OR 60; 95% CI 16.034 – 224.525). There was no significant difference in survival between initiated and regular HD (p = 0.829). Conclusion: There is no difference in clinical outcome from patients with COVID-19 who initiated hemodialysis or regularly HD to the survival rates.

Abstract

Parathyroidectomy is the definitive treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Because of the hungry bone syndrome and prolonged hypocalcemia risk, we must follow up on a patient's parathyroid hormone, calcium, and vitamin D serum after parathyroidectomy. In this case report, we reported on a parathyroidectomy patient whom we followed for two years and who, interestingly, had elevated parathyroid hormone levels. A 35-year-old male patient diagnosed with a left parathyroid tumor underwent parathyroidectomy and isthmolobectomy. The patient was treated with calcium, vitamin D, and levothyroxine supplementation. We diagnosed the patient with hungry bone syndrome on the fourth day of post-parathyroidectomy. Then, we documented calcium, vitamin D, and PTH levels in the next two years. The calcium levels are 7.2 (June 2022), 8.2 (July 2022), 8.5 (September 2022), 7.8 (October 2022), 8.1 (June 2023), 9.7 (June 2024). The PTH levels are 244.2 (June 2022), 328.3 (July 2022), 306.5 (September 2022), 457.2 (October 2022), 163.3 (June 2023), 34.4 (June 2024). The Vitamin D levels are 34.4 (July 2022), 13.4 (March 2023), 35.2 (September 2023), 50.4 (April 2024). We increased the dose of calcium and vitamin D supplementation. The patient is in good condition and has reached a normal level of these laboratory parameters in the second year post-parathyroidectomy. PTH, calcium, and vitamin D serum are needed for follow-up in patients after parathyroidectomy. Normalizing calcium and vitamin D serum is essential to maintaining a normal PTH level. Normal PTH, calcium, and vitamin D serum are the cure indications in this patient.

Abstract

Pituitary macroadenomas can suppress pituitary hormone secretion, one of which is the gonadotropin hormone, causing hypogonadism. The condition of hypogonadism can increase the risk of NAFLD, which can then become liver cirrhosis. A 30-year-old man came to the hospital with decreased consciousness and hematemesis melena. From physical examination, laboratory, and pituitary MRI, the patient was diagnosed with pituitary macroadenoma, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, primary hypothyroidism, acute adrenal insufficiency, and liver cirrhosis. The patient was given hydrocortisone therapy, correction of electrolyte levels, hypoglycemia protocol, levothyroxine 100 mg/day, and management of hematemesis melena. After that, Sustanon 250 mg was given every two weeks intramuscularly. The patient went home in good condition and was planned for neurosurgery consultation for transsphenoidal resection. After the injection of Sustanon, the patient experienced increased penile length and testicular volume. The condition of hypogonadism in patients with pituitary macroadenoma can be a risk factor for NAFLD, which can then progress to liver cirrhosis. NAFLD and liver cirrhosis also can cause hypogonadism in men by several mechanisms. The patient has been well-managed and experienced clinical improvement.
