Abstract

BACKGROUND: Transthyretin protein experiences misfolding and aggregation in preeclampsia due to placental ischemia and inflammation. Placental endothelial damage occurring in preeclampsia stimulates the production of larger young platelets in the bone marrow and can be reflected by an increase in the immature platelet fraction (IPF) and mean platelet volume (MPV). Since the change in these markers in preeclampsia remains controversial, this study was conducted to analyze the differences in levels of transthyretin, IPF, and MPV as easily accessible markers in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancies.METHODS: Total subjects included in this study were 32 normotensive and 26 preeclampsia pregnant woman. The measurement of serum transthyretin level was using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Meanwhile, IPF and MPV levels were measured by using a hematology analyzer with flowcytometry method. Data was statistically analyzed using unpaired T-test and Mann-Whitney, with significancy of p<0.05.RESULTS: Median value of transthyretin in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy were 11 (6-30) mg/dL and 9 (5-18) mg/dL. The mean value of IPF in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy were 4.56±2.19% and 6.33±2.99%. Mean value of MPV in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy were 10.41±0.76 fL and 11.32±1.2 fL. There were significant differences in levels of transthyretin, IPF, and MPV between normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancies (p=0.008, p=0.017, and p=0.002, respectively).CONCLUSION: There are significant differences in transthyretin levels, IPF, and MPV values in normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancies. Therefore, serum transthyretin, IPF, and MPV can be developed as affordable parameters for the diagnosis of preeclampsia.KEYWORDS: preeclampsia, transthyretin, IPF, MPV

Abstract

Introduction: Asthma and allergic rhinitis frequently coexist. Objective: This study aims to characterize adult asthma patients who visited the emergency department (ED) and had allergic rhinitis between June 2023 and December 2024 at Bhayangkara Hospital, Depok City, West Java. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 144 asthma patients who visited the ED during the specified period. The cohort included 89 females and 55 males. Diagnoses of bronchial Asthma and allergic rhinitis were confirmed through clinical history and physical examination by the attending physician, and all data is obtained from the patient's medical records. Results: Among the study population, 66.66% had coexisting asthma and allergic rhinitis. The majority were female and aged between 18 and 44 years. Chest X-rays revealed no significant abnormalities. Asthma prevalence was higher in females (61.8%) than males (38.19%), with a mean age of 32.53 years. A history of atopy, encompassing conditions like eczema, food allergies, and eye inflammation, was prevalent among 46.52% of patients. Smoking habits varied, with 74.3% being ex-smokers or non-smokers, while 25.69% were current smokers. Passive smoke exposure was noted in 37.5%, and 7.63% had exposure to biomass fuel. About 88.19% of emergency patients visits were classified as moderate asthma attacks, with 66.93% of these patients also having allergic rhinitis. Severe asthma attacks occurred in 11.8% of cases, with 58.82% of these patients also suffering from allergic rhinitis. Conclusions: The high prevalence of allergic rhinitis among asthma patients emphasizes the necessity of early diagnosis and good management to optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract

The coexistence of tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of severe lung complications such as pulmonary abscess. Aim: This study evaluates the outcomes of such cases, emphasizing the effectiveness of combined therapeutic approaches. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 121 patients diagnosed with TB and DM treated at a hospital in Depok City between January 2023 and April 2024. The study included four patients with confirmed lung abscesses. Diagnosis was established using clinical and supporting examination analyses. We monitored the patients for up to nine months after initiating treatment. All patients received standard TB and DM therapy along with intravenous antibiotics for two weeks and continued with oral antibiotics for six weeks. Results: Radiological findings consistently showed lung cavities with fluid levels and thick walls. Clinical outcomes demonstrated substantial improvement in all cases, with resolution of abscesses and symptom alleviation. Patients with lung abscesses who received early, combination treatment with antibiotics and medication for TB and DM had positive results. Conclusion: In our study, the administration of antibiotics for eight weeks, alongside simultaneous treatment for TB and DM, led to significant clinical improvement. Further research is warranted to management of lung abscesses in patients with TB and DM and intravenous antibiotics as the first-line approach.
