Abstract

Teeth whitening or bleaching is a process that can make teeth whiter like the original color of teeth. Utilization of natural ingredients is popular today because it is safer, cheaper, and easier to obtain when compared to chemicals. One of the natural ingredients that can be used as a teeth whitener is for example strawberries. The purpose of this article is to find out the potential of strawberries as teeth whitening. This article was compiled by searching literature sources through NCBI and Google Scholar, totaling 17 articles published in 2005-2018 with the keywords strawberry, teeth whitening, and tooth bleaching. The analytical method used is systematic literature review (SLR), which identifies, studies, evaluates, and interprets all existing research with topic areas of interesting phenomena as well as certain relevant questions. The results of the article search found that strawberry has the potential to be an alternative to bleaching and produce significant color changes. This can happen because of the content of elegat acid () and malic acid () found in strawberries. In addition to the two ingredients, strawberries also have a low pH so they have the ability to whiten teeth better when compared to other fruits.

Abstract

Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is a common spinal injury, particularly among the elderly population with underlying osteoporosis. This condition may lead to severe pain, functional limitation, spinal deformity, and increased morbidity and mortality if not accurately diagnosed and managed. A comprehensive clinical and radiological approach is essential to establish the diagnosis and to differentiate acute traumatic fractures from chronic or pathological vertebral fractures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in the evaluation of vertebral compression fractures due to its superior ability to assess soft tissues, spinal cord involvement, and bone marrow edema, which is a key indicator of acute injury. This case report describes a 68-year-old male with a known history of osteoporosis who presented to the emergency department following a fall from a height. The patient complained of severe lumbar pain and limited mobility without neurological deficits. MRI examination revealed an acute vertebral compression fracture characterized by bone marrow edema, with no evidence of paraspinal soft tissue involvement or spinal cord compression. These findings confirmed the diagnosis of an acute post-traumatic VCF in an osteoporotic patient. This case highlights the pivotal role of MRI in determining fracture acuity, evaluating spinal stability, detecting potential complications, and guiding appropriate management strategies. The appropriate utilization of MRI may improve diagnostic accuracy, facilitate timely intervention, and ultimately enhance clinical outcomes in patients with vertebral compression fractures.

Abstract

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a neurological disorder characterized by the accumulation of blood beneath the dura mater. Its incidence ranges from 1.7 to 20.6 cases per 100,000 population annually, with a higher prevalence observed in the elderly. Known risk factors associated with SDH include traumatic brain injury such as traffic accidents, advanced age, alcohol consumption, anticoagulant use, and various medical conditions such as epilepsy, hemophilia, hydrocephalus, cerebral aneurysm, and malignancies. A 19-year-old female patient, Ms. ZA, presented to the Emergency Department of Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital (RSUDAM) with complaints of persistent headaches radiating to the posterior neck region, which significantly interfered with daily activities. The patient had a history of a traffic accident two weeks prior to admission. According to her family, she lost consciousness for approximately two hours and experienced hematemesis following the incident. There were no reported symptoms of limb weakness, epistaxis, otorrhagia, or seizures. On physical and neurological examination, no abnormalities were identified. However, a cranial CT scan revealed a subacute subdural hematoma in the left frontoparietal region with a thickness of 0.47 cm. The patient was managed conservatively with both pharmacological and planned surgical interventions. Medical therapy included intravenous Mannitol titration dose, Paracetamol 3x750 mg, Ranitidine 2x1 ampoule, along with oral supplementation of vitamin B12 and folic acid, each administered twice daily. Surgical management involved a planned burr hole drainage procedure by the attending neurosurgeon.
