Abstract

Endometriosis at the ileum site is a rare case and among the difficult cases of endometriosis. Intestinal endometriosis may cause obstructing symptoms, which is difficult to be distinguished from malignant or inflammatory disease. We report a case of 33-year-old woman, who admitted to the hospital because of sub-ileus intestinal obstruction. She underwent one session laparoscopy and laparatomy operation. Her ileum showed obstruction because of stenosis and adhesion with an ovarian brown cyst. She experienced terminal ileal resection, ileocaecostomy anastomosis, followed by laparatomy ovarial cystectomy and appendectomy. Microscopic evaluation of the intestine revealed vascular congestion, lymph nodes inflammation, and typical endometrial glands in the muscle layer of ileum. There was no sign of malignancy. These findings led to the diagnosis of ileal endometriosis. The ovarian cyst was actually the endometrial cyst of the ovary.   Keywords: sub-ileus obstructive, ileal endometriosis, endometrial cyst

Abstract

Background: Bleeding due to rupture of esophageal varices is one of main cause of death in liver cirrhosis, that endoscopy screening is recommended. However endoscopy is invasive and frequently cannot be performed due to contraindication, high-cost or uncomfortable effect to the patients, particularly on patients have not had any bleeding before. Consequently, it is necessary to find other assessment which can predict the presence of esophageal varices. Recent studies found liver stiffness measurement by the liver transient-elastography is one of non invasive measurement to evaluate liver fibrosis.This study was designed to know the correlation between degree of the esophageal varices and the degree of liver stiffness. Method: This was cross sectional study. Liver cirrhosis patients were consecutively enrolled in this study. They underwent endoscopy to determine esophageal varices and subsequently the liver transient- elastography by Fibroscan technique to determine liver stiffness. Degree of the esophageal varices based on OMED criteria. Liver stiffness are expressed in kilopascal (kPa). Correlation analysis was done to assess this study. Result: There were 13 subjects. Most subjectswere male, age 50 years and Child-Pugh A or B. The mean value of liver stiffness was 35.55 ± 23.60 kPa and mean OMED was 5.61 ± 2.14. The coefficient correlation between degree esophageal varices and degree liver stiffnes was 0.492, p = 0.087. Conclusion: There is moderate correlation but not statistically significant between the degree of liver stiffness and the degree of esophageal varices. Larger sample size is necessary to find the correlation between the degree of liver stiffness and esophageal varices.   Keywords: liver cirrhosis, degree of esophageal varices, liver stiffness

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea has been widely encountered in developing countries, including Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of parasites and fungal infections, which also constitutes the etiologies of acute diarrhea. Method: A cross-sectional study was performed involving 93 patients. Patients with chief complaint of acute diarrhea were recruited at five hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia during the period of November 2008 until May 2009. Acute diarrhea was defined as passing watery or soft stools with frequency of more than three times per day, weighted more 200 g per day, and occurred in less than 15 days duration. They were asked to collect their stool to the laboratory for further parasites and fungal detection. Results: This study showed that 41 out of 93 patients (44.09%) were found to be infected with parasites or fungi. The most common microorganism found was Candida albicans in 18 (19.35%) patients. Other parasites encountered in the stool samples were Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba coli, Giardia lamblia. The presenting clinical symptoms of the patients were fever (44.87%), bloating (41.03%), nausea (39.74%), oliguria (39.74%), cephalgia (35.90%), vomiting (24.36%), and tenesmus (19.23%). Conclusion: The incidence of parasitic and fungal infections in patients with acute diarrhea constitutes nearly half of all cases of infection-caused diarrhea. The most commonly encountered microorganism is Candida albicans. Keywords: parasites, fungi, acute diarrhea
