<![CDATA[Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains an important health problem globally. A diagnosis of AMI can be made by finding at least two of the three criteria, namely typical angina pain, electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities, and increased cardiac biomarkers. Variations in troponin levels based on examination time and infarct location were obtained from previous studies. High-sensitive troponin I (hsTnI) is a very specific biomarker in detecting myocardial damage. This study aims to determine the description of hsTnI levels based on the location of the infarction in AMI patients of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. The location of the infarction in AMI determines the management and prognosis for the clinician. Methods: This research is a retrospective study with a cross-sectional design at the Laboratory Installation of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. The sample was adult patients diagnosed with AMI with complete data that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, taken from medical records. Results: This study showed that from a total of 140 AMI patients, 67 samples met the inclusion criteria. A total of 67 AMI patients consisted of 59 men (88.06%) and 8 women (11.94%) with an average age of 60.1 + 10.5 years. The highest hsTnI levels were found at the posterior infarction location, 40,000 ng/L (16,639-48,997). The location of the infarction was dominated by the inferior infarction location in 20 people (29.9%). Conclusion: The highest hsTnI levels were found at the posterior infarction location. The location of the infarction is dominated by the inferior infarction location in AMI patients with ST elevation at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Insulin resistance is a key factor in the development of metabolic diseases, which are increasingly prevalent in young adults. Early detection is crucial for timely intervention. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, calculated from fasting triglyceride and glucose levels, has emerged as a potential alternative to the more complex homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between the TyG index and HOMA-IR in detecting insulin resistance in young adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 non-diabetic young adults (aged 18-22 years). Fasting blood samples were collected to measure triglyceride, glucose, and insulin levels. The agreement between the TyG index and HOMA-IR was assessed using the Kappa coefficient. Results: The median age of the participants was 20 years, with 65.7% being female. The prevalence of insulin resistance was 79.4% based on the TyG index (cut-off value of 4.25) and 43.1% based on HOMA-IR (cut-off value of 2.2). The agreement between the two indices was slight (Kappa = 0.155, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The TyG index showed a higher prevalence of insulin resistance compared to HOMA-IR in this population. However, the agreement between the two indices was low. Further research is needed to validate the TyG index as a screening tool for insulin resistance in young adults.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Acute leukemia is a significant global health concern, with increasing prevalence worldwide and in Indonesia. Accurate diagnosis and classification of acute leukemia subtypes, primarily acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), are crucial for effective treatment. Immunophenotyping and bone marrow aspiration (BMA) are commonly used diagnostic methods, each with its strengths and limitations. This study aimed to analyze the concordance between immunophenotyping and BMA in diagnosing and classifying acute leukemia in children. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 46 children diagnosed with acute leukemia at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from January 2022 to July 2023. Data were collected from medical records, including patient demographics, immunophenotyping results, and BMA findings. Concordance between the two diagnostic methods was analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: The study population consisted of 30 (65.2%) males and 16 (34.8%) females, with a median age of 4 years. Immunophenotyping identified 24 (52.2%) cases as ALL and 22 (47.8%) as AML. BMA classified 26 (56.5%) cases as ALL and 20 (43.5%) as AML. There was a high concordance between the two methods, with only 2 (4.3%) cases showing discordant results. These two cases were classified as AML by immunophenotyping but as ALL by BMA. Conclusion: Immunophenotyping and BMA demonstrate a high level of concordance in diagnosing and classifying acute leukemia in children. The few discordant cases highlight the importance of considering both methods, especially in challenging cases, to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs due to rupture of atherosclerotic plaque which triggers platelet activation and aggregation to form a thrombus. Several studies have examined the relationship between PDW and AMI, but there is no specific correlation with hsTnI as the most sensitive and specific cardiac biomarker for AMI. This study aims to analyze the correlation between hsTnI levels and PDW values in AMI patients. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 60 AMI patients in the emergency room of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from April to August 2022. Research subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria underwent hsTnI and PDW examinations. The correlation of hsTnI with PDW was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Correlation is declared significant if the p-value is <0.05. Results: The research sample consisted of 48 men (80%) and 12 women (20%). The average age is 60.67 (10.73) years with an age range of 33-82 years. The mean hsTnI level was 2,606.10 (2,404.79) ng/Land the mean PDW value was 10.97 (2.26) fL. There was a strong and significant positive correlation between hsTnI and PDW in AMI patients (r = 0.618, p = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a correlation between hsTnI levels and PDW values at AMI.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication of diabetes mellitus with a high risk of infection. Patterns of causative bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity can vary between hospitals and time periods. Methods: This descriptive research involved all swabs and pus samples from DFU patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang between January and June 2023. Samples were processed through culture, Gram staining, and identification using VITEK 2. Patient medical record data was analyzed for demographic characteristics. Results: Of the 23 samples, 65% were gram-negative bacteria, dominated by Escherichia coli (30%). Gram-positive bacteria were found in 35%, with Staphylococcus aureus (18%) as the most. E. coli showed resistance to ampicillin and ceftriaxone but was sensitive to meropenem and amikacin. S. aureus is resistant to vancomycin but sensitive to benzylpenicillin. Conclusion: Gram-negative bacteria, especially E. coli, were more dominant in DFU at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang during the research period. The pattern of antibiotic resistance found emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy based on sensitivity test results.]]>
