Abstract

Background A previous study has shown a high proportion of visual impairment and blindness in the adults of Southwest Sumba, Indonesia due to ultraviolet-radiation (UVR)- related ocular problems, such as cataract and pterygium. Currently, there is no data regarding the effect of ultraviolet (UV) exposure on children and its future implications. Objective To seek the predisposing factors of UVR ocular problems in the children of Southwest Sumba. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Perokonda Village, Southwest Sumba in May 2017. A total of 337 children <16 years old were examined for ocular problems by ophthalmologists. Subjects with ocular problems were then treated accordingly. Results Visual acuity was normal in 98.2% of subjects. Visual impairment and blindness were found in 1.2% and 0.3% of subjects, respectively. Ocular problems were found in 38%, consisting of conjunctival pigment deposits (60.2%), pinguecula (15.6%), and pterygium (13.3%). The UVR ocular problems constituted 33.8% of all ocular problems, comprising conjunctival pigment deposits (22.8%), pinguecula (6%), and pterygium (5%). Conclusion The proportion of UVR ocular problems in the children of Perokonda village is 34.5%, the most common of which being conjunctival pigment deposits. Such deposits may be early signs of UVR ocular problems. This study serves as a platform to highlight the possible relationship between pigment deposits and future UVR ocular problems, which warrants further study.

Abstract

Abstract Background Significant hemodynamic changes in preterm infants during early life could have consequences, especially on the intestinal blood flow. Alteration of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow may lead to impairment in gut function and feeding intolerance. Objectives To assess SMA blood flow velocity in very preterm and/or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants in early life and to elucidate the factors influencing them. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted in NICU at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow was evaluated by peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistive index (RI) measurement using Color Doppler US at < 48 hours after birth. Maternal and neonatal data that could be potentially associated with SMA blood flow were obtained. Bivariate analyses were conducted with a P value of < 0.05 considered significant. Results We examined 156 infants eligible for the study. PSV, EDV, and RI of SMA blood flow were not related to both gestational age and birth weight. Infant with small for gestational age (SGA) showed significantly lower EDV median [15.5 (range 0.0-32.8) vs 19.4 (range 0.0-113.0)] and higher RI [0.80 (range 0.58-1.00) vs 0.78 (range 0.50-1.00)] compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Infants born from mother with preeclampsia showed lower PSV median [(78.2 (range 32.0-163.0) vs 89.7 (range 29.2-357.0)]) and EDV [16.2 (range 0.0-48.5) vs 19.4 (range 0.0-113.0)] compared to without PE, while absent/reverse end-diastolic velocity (AREDV) revealed a lower EDV median [16.9 (range 0.0 – 32.4) vs 19.4 (range 0.0 – 113.0)] compared to no AREDV. Furthermore, infants with hs-PDA showed lower EDV median [16.2 (range 0.0-113.0) vs 19.4 (range 0.0-71.1)] but higher RI median [0.80 (range 0.50-1.00) vs 0.78 (range 0.55-1.00)] compared to non hs-PDA. No difference in SMA blood flow across other factors was observed.
