Abstract

Background: Epidermal parasitic skin diseases (EPSDs) are a group of neglected infectious diseases caused by parasites that infect the upper layer of the skin. A parasitic infection of the skin is caused by small insects or worms that burrow into the skin to live there or lay their eggs. EPSDs are a public health issue and can occur in children of all ages. Purpose: This study aims to describe the pattern and incidences of parasitic skin infections in children. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study utilizing medical records from the Dermatology and Venereology Clinic of Dr. Harjono Ponorogo General Public Hospital from 2016 to 2020. Result: Our study showed that, of the 1426 children brought to our clinic, parasitic infection was the second most common skin disease found in children with a prevalence of 27.1%. Parasitic infection in children was dominated by males with a proportion of 69.7%, and occurred mostly in the ≥13-year-old age group. Among all ages, scabies is the most frequent parasitic infection found, followed by cutaneous larva migrant (CLM) and pediculosis. Conclusion: The prevalence of EPSDs is increasing with age and is more common in males. This high prevalence is probably due to increased intensity of contact with other people, decreased parental care, and low socio-economic status.

Abstract

Skabies adalah salah satu penyakit infestasi parasit pada kulit yang paling umum di dunia dan memiliki dampak yang bervariasi tergantung pada situasi klinis. Beberapa waktu yang lalu, World Health Organization (WHO) telah menambahkan skabies ke dalam daftar penyakit tropis yang terabaikan dalam upaya untuk mengendalikan dan mengeradikasi skabies. Skabies tidak hanya memengaruhi kulit, namun juga berdampak terhadap terhadap aspek psikis, sosial, dan ekonomi pasien. Hal ini mengakibatkan terjadinya penurunan kualitas hidup pasien skabies, bahkan pada populasi tertentu skabies sudah dianggap hal yang biasa. Tidak hanya itu, skabies juga dapat menimbulkan komplikasi yang berat seperti glomerulonefritis, penyakit ginjal kronik, dan demam rematik akut. Prognosis yang baik dapat diperoleh jika pasien diberi tata laksana yang tepat dan holistik.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyse factors affecting medical students’ readiness for interprofessional education (IPE) implementation. This is an observational cross-sectional study conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Indonesia. We performed a total sampling approach targeting all medical students, inviting voluntary participation through online messages. Data collection utilised validated questionnaires: the Indonesian version of the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and The Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS). All statistical analyses were performed using STATA-BE 18 software. Responses were obtained from 654 medical students, the majority (83.49%) being preclinical students. The mean RIPLS score was 67.28 ± 6.70, and the mean IEPS score was 63.09 ± 5.73. No statistically significant differences in RIPLS scores were found based on age, gender, or educational level. However, there was a significant difference in RIPLS scores between students who had experienced IPE education and those who had not (p-value=0.028). Exposure to IPE education significantly influences medical students' readiness for IPE implementation, regardless of demographic characteristics or educational level.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a squamous cell carcinoma with a high frequency in East and Southeast Asia. Radiotherapy is the main treatment method often used in the management of nasopharyngeal cancer. Although effective in destroying cancer cells, radiotherapy often causes significant skin reactions, including radiation dermatitis, which can appear as erythema, desquamation, and even ulceration. These reactions can affect the sufferers' quality of life and interfere with the continuity of therapy. This study aims to explore factors that affect the intensity of radiation dermatitis, including location of radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. In addition, radiation dermatitis management strategies, such as the use of moisturizers, topical steroid therapy, and sun protection, are packaged to accelerate the healing process and reduce symptoms. Assessment criteria such as CTCAE and RTOG are used to assess The intensity of dermal responses. It is expected that a thorough understanding of the causes and management of radiation dermatitis would improve the prognosis for patients with nasopharyngeal cancer and increase the effectiveness of therapy. More research is needed to develop more effective preventative and therapeutic measures for radiation-induced dermatitis.

Abstract

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) are two rare dermatologic conditions that have similar clinical presentations. This case report discusses the challenges in differentiating AGEP and GPP in a 27-year-old man with a history of psoriasis. The patient presented with complaints of red patches and purulent pustules all over the body since 3 days after taking Cefadroxil. Physical examination showed papules and pustules with erythema base. Eosinophilia was found on laboratory examination. Skin biopsy results supported the diagnosis of AGEP with hyperkeratosis, mild spongiosis, and inflammation in the dermis. Based on the history, clinical presentation, laboratory and biopsy results, the patient was diagnosed with AGEP suspected as an allergic reaction to Cefadroxil. The patient was hospitalized with systemic and supportive therapy. This case emphasizes the importance of thorough evaluation including history, clinical findings, and supporting examinations in differentiating AGEP and GPP.

Abstract

Background: Immunodermatology is a medical specialty specializing in detecting and treating skin conditions induced by a compromised immune system response. Each cellular element of the skin undergoes a unique developmental process and serves a specific function within the skin. Many disorders affecting epithelial organs, including the skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract, and respiratory tracts, require immunodermatological testing for diagnosis and treatment. Immunodermatology, a field at the intersection of dermatology and immunology, continues to evolve, with new research being published annually. Purpose: This review aims to summarize the foundational principles of immunodermatology, current diagnostic approaches, and selected immune-mediated skin disorders. Review: There are numerous dermatological conditions related to immunodermatology. Advances in immunology and dermatology have enhanced our understanding of the skin as an active immune organ. Immunodermatology encompasses a wide range of diseases involving both innate and adaptive immunity. Despite growing research, many aspects remain under investigation. Conclusion: The skin’s immunological function could be viewed as a complex and multifaceted interplay between signal processing and defense reactions. Immunodermatology continues to expand with ongoing innovations in diagnostics and therapeutics, highlighting its importance in future clinical and research developments.

Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) involves collaboration among various fields within the healthcare system to achieve optimal health outcomes. IPE reduces gaps between health professionals from diverse backgrounds, fostering teamwork and effective collaboration. Early integration of IPE into medical curricula is essential to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for collaborative healthcare practices, ultimately improving patient care, reducing medical errors, and enhancing healthcare service quality. This review investigates the impact of early exposure to IPE on the skills, attitudes, and collaborative abilities of medical students in Asia. The goal is to assess whether early introduction fosters professionalism and effective interprofessional collaboration. Literature searches were conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed with appropriate keywords (interprofessional education, collaboration, medicine, and education). Articles were assessed for evidence-based relevance to the global health system, and those with cultural, racial, or religious biases were excluded. Review writing review based on 40 sources (journals, books, or WHO guidelines) that meet the criteria and keywords. Findings suggest that early engagement with IPE promotes positive attitudes, teamwork, and leadership skills among medical students. However, concerns remain regarding insufficient genuine interprofessional collaboration and potential declines in student attitudes without proper implementation. The early introduction of IPE has the potential to cultivate professionalism and collaborative skills among medical students in Asia. This review provides a foundation for encouraging the inclusion of IPE in medical curricula to improve interprofessional collaboration and healthcare outcomes.
