Abstract

Glaucoma is the second-leading global cause of blindness. Lowering intraocular pressure can prevent the worsening of open-angle glaucoma, but alternative neuroprotective therapies are needed; citicoline is supposed to have neuroprotective potential. This evidence-based case report was to review the effectiveness of oral citicoline as an adjunct therapy for glaucoma. From 22 studies identified through PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, EBSCO Host, and Google Scholar, three articles were selected for critical review. Lanza M. found the RNFL and GCC of the citicoline group 500 mg were significantly higher, 70.39 and 71.19 Pm, p<0,01 compared to controls, after 12 months. Sahin A, et al, showed that the RNFL was significantly higher in the third month than baseline in the oral citicoline 250 mg group, p = 0.038. Putri VC, et al, found that after 60 days, based on sub-group analysis, there was a significant difference in RNFL and GCIPL thickness changes after citicoline 500 mg intervention in the mild glaucoma group and after citicoline 1,000 mg in the moderate-severe glaucoma group. Oral citicoline supplementation prevents significant worsening of glaucoma, it can be given as an adjunct therapy.

Abstract

Background: Severe burns cause microbiota dysbiosis, impaired intestinal motility, and constipation, worsening patient conditions and prolonging hospitalization. Research Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of synbiotic supplementation in improving bowel movement frequency in burn patients. Case Illustration: A study conducted in the Burn High Care Unit at RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo involved a 42-year-old male patient with 32% TBSA burns and a history of kidney transplantation. Treatments included debridement, skin grafts, electrolyte correction, and synbiotic supplementation starting on day 6. During 29 days, energy intake, fiber intake, bowel movement frequency, and clinical status were monitored, showing significant improvements until discharge. Discussion: The 42-year-old male patient with 32% TBSA burns experienced impaired intestinal motility and constipation consistent with microbiota dysbiosis and decreased SCFA due to severe burns. The patient received enteral nutrition and RillusĀ® synbiotic supplementation from day 6, theoretically enhancing beneficial bacterial colonization and intestinal motility. Bowel movement frequency improved from day 7, indicating synbiotic-related benefits. Micronutrient supplementation according to ESPEN supported wound healing and immunity. Clinical condition and nutritional status improved with significant wound healing until discharge on day 30. Conclusion: Synbiotic supplementation effectively increased bowel movement frequency and improved intestinal function in severe burn patients with constipation. Keywords: Severe burn, microbiota dysbiosis, synbiotic, constipation, intestinal motility, bowel movement frequency.

Abstract

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a rare chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by pathogenic IgG autoantibodies and complement activation. Common clinical manifestations include ocular muscle weakness, dysphagia, dysarthria, dysphonia, limb muscle weakness, generalized skeletal muscle weakness, and respiratory muscle involvement. A 47-year-old female presented with unilateral ptosis, bilateral diplopia, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, and paresis of both upper and lower extremities. The Myasthenia Gravis Composite Scale (MGCS) score was 31. Electromyography confirmed the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis, and laboratory evaluation revealed 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency. During hospitalization, the patient received cholinesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids, and vitamin D3 supplementation at 5,000 IU once daily for 9 days. The MGCS score decreased to 19, indicating improved functional capacity. Conclusion: Vitamin D3 supplementation at a dose of 5,000 IU/day may provide potential clinical benefits, as reflected by a reduction in MGCS score, and may also reduce the future risk of osteoporosis secondary to 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency. However, the clinical improvement observed in this patient was likely also influenced by the concurrent administration of cholinesterase inhibitors and corticosteroids.
