Abstract

Early prediction and avoidance of aggravation of AKI will be useful in identifying patients at risk of developing a higher degree of AKI. Many studies have been conducted to prevent AKI and find biomarkers to predict AKI. Many studies have identified biomarkers of AKI, such as neutrophil-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, interleukin-18, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2). Yet few have investigated the role of PCT as a predictor of AKI. The pathophysiological mechanisms that explain the association between serum PCT and AKI remain unclear. Various inflammatory responses are thought to play a role in the AKI development. PCT acts as a chemoattractant in the ​​inflammation area and causes more monocytes to invade the ​​inflammation. PCT is initially produced in adherent monocytes and then contributes to an increase in circulating PCT by attracting parenchymal cells as they attach directly to activated monocytes. High PCT levels ultimately act as a direct chemoattractant to monocyte counts.

Abstract

Medical students are particularly vulnerable to burnout due to the demanding and resource-constrained nature of their training. Burnout negatively impacts academic and personal well-being, potentially impacting future professional practice and patient care. To date, no studies have examined burnout prevalence among medical students in Aceh. The aim of this study was to determine the association between burnout and academic engagement among medical students at Syiah Kuala University, as well as the relationship with age, sex, and year of study. This cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students in Aceh, Indonesia, between October 1, 2021, and March 13, 2022. Total sampling was employed to select study participants. Data were collected using an e-questionnaire using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory questionnaire adapted for students (OLBI-S) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S-9) for academic engagement. The total number of participants was 286 students. Most participants were female (n=202, 70.6%), while male students were 84 (29.3%). The prevalence of burnout was 36% (n=102). Gender (p=0.65) and study year (p=0.62) were not associated with disengagement, a subscale of the OLBI-S. Similarly, exhaustion scores did not differ significantly by gender (p=0.48) or study year (p=0.28). In conclusion, fewer than half of the medical students experienced burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic, with no association found between burnout and gender or study year.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects women and has various clinical manifestations involving multiple organs. The use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) provides some advantages. This study aimed to analyze hematological and ocular effects following short-term HCQ administration in SLE patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2022 at Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, involving 23 female SLE patients. Blood laboratory parameters were assessed, and an ophthalmologist performed ocular examinations. The study showed an average hemoglobin of 11.6 g/dL. Other blood laboratory results were within normal limits. The mean duration of SLE diagnosis and HCQ use was 21.0 months and 9.7 months, respectively. There was no correlation between HCQ use duration and hematological parameters (hemoglobin, leukocytes, and thrombocytes; p values 0.38, 0.14, and 0.62, respectively). This study showed that only one SLE patient taking HCQ for less than five years had ocular problems. The prevalence of ocular and hematological effects in SLE patients treated with HCQ for less than five years is minimal.

Abstract

Background: Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) acceleration commonly occur in Heart Failure (HF). Drugs such as Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNI) become essential part of HF treatment. Long-term consumption may impair kidney function and potassium imbalance, which could potentially limit the therapy, therefore we conducted this study to assess the effects of ACEI and ARNI on renal function and potassium level in Indonesian patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), as no local studies exist. Method: A prospective cohort was performed in Banda Aceh, which comprise of 40 ACEI and 40 ARNI patients on standard therapy. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), serum creatinine level then converted into estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), and serum potassium level were measured at baseline and after 3 months into the therapy. Independent t-test was applied to compare groups. Result: Both ARNI and ACEI groups showed significant improvement in eGFR (p < 0.005). The intergroup difference was 11 mg/dL (p = 0.038) showed that ACEI had a better outcome in eGFR improvement compare with ARNI. Potassium rose slightly in both groups, with an intergroup difference of 0.082 mmol/L (p = 0.623), indicating no meaningful difference. Conclusion: Both ACEI and ARNI improved eGFR after 3 months, with a modest potassium increase.
