Abstract

Blood ia a heterogen fluid consists of a suspension of blood cells, erythrocyte, leucocyte, thrombocyte, in a liquid plasma which contains water, proteins, mineral ions, hormones and glucose. Blood rheology is well known has an important rule in circulation. Blood viscosity depend on shear forces and determined by hematocrit, plasma viscocity, blood cells distribution and mechanical properties. Blood rheology can be altered in various pathology proccess like diorder of hematocrit, erytrocute deformability and aggregation. Hematocrit alteration contributed significantly to hemorheology variation and extreme physiologist conditions. Erytrocyte deformability sensitive to local and general homeostasis caused by endogen or exogen factors. Erythrocyte aggregation is determined by plasma protein composition and erythrocyte surface properties like acute phase of inflammation, other factors are in vivo aging, free radical and proteolitic enzymes. Rheology alteration will cause impairment of blood fluidity which is significantly affect tissue perfusion and result in organ function deteriorations, especially if disease processes also disturb vascular properties. This review will reveal blood rheology effect on various pathological conditions, like sepsis, hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic used worldwide as an anesthesia induction and maintenance agent. Propofol also used as sedation agent in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Despite it’s usual anesthesia properties, propofol has an unique pharmacologic characteristic, especially as antioxidant and stress response reduction. These advantages suggested propofol has positive effects when used as an anesthesia agent in surgery or sedation in ICU in conditions when high stress and free radical level are released.CONTENT:Stress response and free radical can be elevated in various conditions including surgery or during care in ICU, especially critical ill patient. Cortisol is a major stress hormone that influences metabolism, cardiovascular and central nervous system, either in acute or chronic phase. Oxidative stress was marked by free radical elevation called Radical Oxygen Species (ROS). Combination of both elements (cortisol and ROS) can worsen patient condition. Propofol with anti-stress and antioxidant properties could be used to reduce stress response and attenuate free radical level in order to improve patient condition.SUMMARY: The anti-stress and antioxidant properties of Propofol are interesting, because these benefits can be added as adjunctive therapy when propofol was used as an anesthetic agent in surgery and a sedation in ICU.KEYWORDS: propofol, stress response, antioxidant

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Free radicals and antioxidant exist in balance under normal condition. In prooxidant condition, excessive free radicals can initiate a state of oxidative stress (OS) followed by capillary endothelial cell damage, a process involved in the pathophysiology of abortion.CONTENT: Abortion is a common complication of pregnancy and occurs in 25% of women. Many factors can cause abortion including fetal factor, implantation process and hormonal status. Combination those factors with OS influence the entire reproductive life of a woman. Antioxidant can neutralize free radicals and used to reduce OS especially in recurrent abortion.SUMMARY: Antioxidant therapy is a very interesting field in abortion especially used as prevention approach mainly caused by the high cost of infertility treatment methods.KEYWORDS: free radical, antioxidant, abortion

Abstract

Background Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a condition that can occur as a complication of a monochorionic twin pregnancy that may develop at any stage of pregnancy and most cases are diagnosed in the second trimester of pregnancy. The syndrome is a placental vascular anomaly that can affect the two fetoplacental circulations which can result in hypotony, hypovolemia, anemia, and oliguria being developed in the donor, whereas the recipient fetus is at risk of hypertrophy, hypertension, hypervolemia, polycythemia, and polyhydramnios. Case presentation A 32-year-old multigravida woman (Gravida 5 Para 4 Abortion 0) with a gestational age of 26 weeks came to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Unggul Karsa Medika Hospital with the results of the first ultrasound at 24 weeks of gestation which revealed monochorionic diamniotic intrauterine twins and anterior placenta with grade I maturity. Twin A Maturity of 23 weeks 2 days with a fetal weight of 578 grams, oligohydramnios, fetal kidney, and bladder are not visible, whereas Twin B Maturity of 26 weeks 6 days with a fetal weight of 1205 grams, polyhydramnios with a single 12 cm deepest pocket and normal fetal kidney with bladder distention. The diagnosis of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome was made with twin A as donor twins and twin B as recipient twins. Conclusion TTTS can be diagnosed with routine prenatal ultrasound and can be deferred into 4 stages based on ultrasound and doppler results. There are multiple options for management including expectant management, amnioreduction, intentional septostomy, fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, selective reduction, and voluntary pregnancy termination.

Abstract

Background Hypokalemia is the most frequent electrolyte disorder encountered in clinical practice. It caused by inadequate potassium intake or excessive renal or gastrointestinal potassium loss. Hypokalemia may associate with muscle weakness. Hypocalcemia can result from disorders of vitamin D metabolism and action, hypoparathyroidism, resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH), or other conditions such as nutritional deficiency. Numbness and tingling sensation may occur on hypocalcemia. Case presentation A 36-year-old woman came with complaints of weakness of upper and lower limbs three days before admission. At first, the weakness felt suddenly on the left arm and left foot after waking up in the morning, making her not being able to walk. Patient felt tingling sensation on her face, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Her hands felt stiff as well as her mouth. Patient had a decreasing serum level (3 mEq/l) and decreasing total calcium level (4,8 mg/dL). Conclusion In young adult patients with limbs weakness, it is necessary to consider electrolyte imbalance, such as hypokalemia and hypocalcemia. Hypokalemia can be caused by decreased potassium intake, excessive vomiting, drug consumption, kidney disease, and endocrine disease. To diagnose hypokalemia, it is necessary to carry out further examinations such as basic biochemical laboratories (magnesium, calcium, phosphorus), blood gas analysis, TSHs, urine analysis (urine calcium, potassium excretion in 24-hour urine collection), drug screening.

Abstract

Background Hyperglycemic crisis is emergency caused by metabolic problems due to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemic crisis consists of Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) and Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Both are caused by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin; deficiency of insulin could be caused by type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Case presentation A 46-year-old woman came to the emergency room of Unggul Karsa Medika Hospital presenting with breathlessness which had occurred for a week. Her breathlessness was more severe on the day she presented to the emergency room. One week before, she went to a clinic nearby because of epigastric pain, but after returning home she felt breathless. After a few days, her breathlessness started to worsen, so she decided to go to emergency room. The patient had severe acidosis and high blood glucose. Hyperglycemia protocol of rehydration and insulin drip intravenously, accompanied by sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride were given. Mechanical ventilation was used. The patient was healed and discharged safely after 9 days of hospitalization. Conclusion Hyperglycemic crisis is one of true emergency that can lead to mortality, thus prompt diagnosis and treatment should be done. It is important for clinicians to differ between HHS and DKA. HHS is caused by the relative or absolute deficiency of insulin while DKA is characterized by absolute insulin deficiency which prevents the body from metabolizing carbohydrates and results in severe hyperglycemia. In DKA and HHS the main goal of therapy is to rehydrate, correct hyperglycemia, and to correct electrolyte imbalances.

Abstract

Background: The perinatal period involves significant physiological and metabolic transitions, particularly concerning hypertensive disorders, preeclampsia, hemorrhage, lactation challenges, and oxidative stress. Although pharmacological therapies are available, their safety and accessibility remain inconsistent, especially in resource-limited settings. Indonesia’s extensive biodiversity and deep-rooted ethnomedicinal traditions offer promising yet underutilized botanical alternatives. This study aimed to review the efficacy of Indonesian medicinal plants used in pregnancy, postpartum, and lactation. Methods: This systematic review investigates ten Indonesian medicinal plants traditionally used during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and lactation: Sauropus androgynus, Curcuma longa, Moringa oleifera, Nigella sativa, Centella asiatica, Orthosiphon aristatus, Syzygium polyanthum, Andrographis paniculata, Solanum nigrum, and Zingiber officinale. Literature from 2000 to 2025 was reviewed using PRISMA guidelines across global and regional databases. Phytochemical composition, mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects (e.g., antihypertensive, antidiabetic, galactagogue, hemostatic, antioxidant), and clinical relevance were critically evaluated. Results: All ten plants demonstrated pharmacological potential relevant to perinatal health challenges. Notably, Zingiber officinale offers antiemetic and anti-inflammatory benefits during early pregnancy, complementing the lactogenic, antihypertensive, and wound-healing properties of other species. However, gaps persist in human trials, dosage standardization, and regulatory oversight. Conclusion: The review highlights the importance of integrating validated traditional botanicals into perinatal care through interdisciplinary research, targeted clinical trials, and culturally responsive health policies. Bridging ethnopharmacology with maternal health systems offers a scalable, sustainable pathway toward maternal wellness and equity in Indonesia and comparable global settings.
