Abstract

Status epilepticus is an emergency condition in the field of neurology are often undiagnosed and are associated with high mortality and long-term disability. One type of status epilepticus is nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) in which the diagnosis of NCSE is very difficult because the clinical manifestations appear is agitation or confusion, nystagmus or bizarre behavior such as lip smacking or take goods in the air.The diagnosis was based on clinical features, especially the mental status or the disrupted of consciousness and the changes in the EEG. Diagnosis of NCSE is an important first step, which can avoid the delay in therapy in order to prevent irreversible brain damage. Treatment is by administering benzodiazepines and antiepileptic drugs, while the prognosis is determined by the etiology and associated with brain damage there.

Abstract

Epilepsy therapy is almost always chronic and often used more than one drug. Currently, antiepileptic drugs are still the mainstay of therapy for epilepsy. An understanding of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of these drugs would be very helpful in choosing the right medication and develop a study to determine the drugs mechanism further. Mechanism of action of AED (anti epileptic drug) can be categorized into four main groups: (1) modulation of voltage-gated ion channels, including sodium, calcium, and potassium; (2) increase in GABA inhibition through an effect on GABA-A receptors, the GAT-1 GABA transporter, or GABA transaminase; (3) direct modulation of the synaptic release of such SV2A and α2δ; and (4) inhibition of excitatory synapses through ionotropik glutamate receptors including AMPA receptors. AED work to balance the process of inhibition and excitation in the brain, so it can be used both for epilepsy and other diseases with similarities with the pathophysiology of epilepsy.

Abstract

Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel that can be detected with electroneuromyography (ENMG).Objective. To determine whether there are significant differences in parameters of ENMG examination between CTS groups with mild-to-moderate and severe clinical symptoms.Methods. The study design was observational analytic using cross sectional design approach of the patient's medical record data as many as 61 samples.Results. From 61 samples, there were dominancy of age ≥ 40 years old as many as 80.32% and gender female as many as 88.52%. There was no significant differences in age and gender between the two groups (p=0.073 and p=1.000 respectively). Sensory amplitude, MSDL, and Ring Diff are significantly different between the two groups (p=0.005, p=0.020, and p=0.031 respectively). There are no significant difference of motor amplitude and MMDL between the two groups (p=0.384 and p=0.196 respectively).Conclusion. Sensory amplitude value having a relationship with the severity of clinical symptoms. ENMG examination and clinical symptoms of CTS were independent parameters, that should not be used alone to make a diagnosi both of them could enhance the accuracy of diagnosis.

Abstract

Background. Polyneuropathy is the pathologic changes and functional disturbances in the peripheral nervous system. These changes manifest as sign and symptoms such as numbness, burning, allodynia, atrophy, and lose of stimulation responses. Diagnosing polyneuropathy can use electrodiagnostic method like electroneuromyography (ENMG). One of the most sensitive ENMG parameters for polyneuropathy is SNAP amplitude which can be measured at Sural Nerve.Objective. The goal of this study is to know whether SNAP amplitude can be used to diagnose polyneuropathy.Methods. The study design is diagnostic test in cross-sectional method.Results. Samples were taken from 108 ENMG medical records of Neurology Department Saiful Anwar General Hospital during the whole 2014. Two variables which are compared are polyneuropathy diagnosis and SNAP amplitude. Fisher test shows significant differences between the two with p = 0.04. Diagnostic test shows sensitivity 68.3%, spesifisity 80%, positive predictive value 97.1%, and negative predictive value 20.5%.Conclusion. There is a significant relationship between SNAP amplitude reduction with the diagnosis of polyneuropathy.

Abstract

Background. Stroke is a local or extensive disorder of brain function that occurs suddenly and rapidly, can cause death without another cause except vascular. Based on pathophysiology of acute ischemic stroke, leukocytes play an important role against deterioration and clinical manifestations in patients by releasing three inflammatory mediators, plugging mechanism in microcirculation, and vasoconstriction. Objective. To investigate the relationship between the clinical manifestations of acute ischemic stroke (incoming, outgoing, and improvement) as measured by the NIHSS score with the number of leukocytes . Methods. The study design was a retrospective cohort sampling. Samples were taken from 62 patients with acute ischemic stroke (31 patients who have normal leukocytes and 31 patients who showed leukocytosis) in Dr. Saiful Anwar (RSSA) Malang hospital that met the inclusion criteria of the study.Results. The results of the statistical test used is Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for incoming NIHSS (p = 0.999), and Chi-Square Test for outcoming NIHSS (p = 0.000) and improved patient (p = 0.001).Conclusion. Patients who have normal leukocyte count at the beginning of treatment is likely to have clinical manifestations by category of incoming NIHSS similar to patients who showed leukocytosis, and tend to have clinical manifestations by category of outcoming NIHSS and improvement or significantly better than patients which showed leukocytosis.

Abstract

Malaria is still becoming a health problem in the world and in Indonesia. Cerebral malaria is one of many features of severe and life threatening malaria. Many hypotheses underlying the pathophysiology of cerebral malaria have been disclosed, but the one that evolved nowdays is the hyphotesis of mechanical, permeability, humoral, and MMPs. These hypotheses proposed about biomolecular aspects of cerebral malaria and the mechanism is still not well understood. The understanding of this pathophysiology will aid the treatment of cerebral malaria. Current basic treatment of cerebral malaria is the ACT (artemisinin base combination treatment) drugs, supportive treatment and the management of its complications which is indispensable. Many research has been conducted and still in progress for finding the best optimal treatment.

Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is a worldwide pandemic. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common neurologic complication with distal sensory polyneuropathy (HIV-DSP) as the most frequent form of manifestation. HIV-DSP is one of the major causes of global pain morbidity and often undiagnosed earlier, resulting in treatment given when HIV-DSP grade is already severe. Early detection is imperative to prevent the progression of HIV-DSP and improve patient’s quality of life. Polyneuropathy score, 10-g Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament (SWM) and vibration perception threshold (VPT)-quantitative sensory testing (QST) are considered to be potential candidates for HIVDSP screening tool.Objective: To measure the reability of Polyneuropathy Score, SWM and VPT- QST in diagnosing HIV-DSP.Methods: This research is a descriptive study with cross-sectional design. Research was conducted on 77 patients of HIV/AIDS outpatient clinic in RS Saiful Anwar (RSSA) during November 2016 - April 2017 (n = 77). Patients were screened for HIV-DSP by using polyneuropathy score, such as: Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), Toronto Clinical Scoring Sysytem (TCSS), Brief Peripheral Neuropathy Score (BPNS), SWM, and VPT-QST. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of BPNS, TCSS, MNSI, SWM and VPT-QST are analyzed using cross tabulation. Area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to measure diagnostic accuracy of each tools. SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results: TCSS had a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and accuracy as much as: 70%, 97%, 97%, 74%, 23,33, 0,28 and 83%. The result of TCSS analysis using ROC showed that TCSS had excellent diagnostic value with AUC (Area Under Curve) of 0.89 (95%CI 82%-96,5%). The AUC of BPNS score, monofilamen and VPT-QST respectively: 0,469, 0,194, and 0,189.Conclusion: The result of the HIV-DSP diagnostic test using TCSS score has the best value compared to other tools.
