Abstract

The doctor's profession is noble and tied up with quite strict rules, both in terms of ethics as well as discipline. Naturally, there is a problem of asymmetrical information between doctors and patients, often leading to misunderstandings. The purpose of this review is to map the available evidence related to the challenges and difficulties faced by doctors in the era of disruption. The evidence indicate that disruption of health services has both positive and negative effects. Many aspects related to the use of technology in the medical practices including innovation, cost-effectiveness, and quality improvement. However, psychologically, the doctors often get frustrated by internal or external triggers. The external factors, ranges from the equipment and work procedures, for instance, using high technology, communication with management, inter-professional relationships, patients, and their families. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) could cause stress and burnout. In this case, doctors are highly vulnerable, and consequently, have the potential to make mistakes. Therefore, the adversity faced by doctors ought to be mapped. Resilience is a barrier against stress and burnout and the ability to adapt in resilience among doctors is important factor in dealing with the disruption era.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by an acute respiratory infection with multisystem involvement and the association of its severity to liver function abnormalities is not well characterized. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the severity of COVID-19 patients and liver function abnormalities. This retrospective study included adult patients with confirmed COVID-19, which were classified as non-severe or severe according to World Health Organization guidelines. Liver function test results were compared between the severity groups. A total of 339 patients were included of which 150 (44.25%) were severe cases. The male-to-female ratio was 0.9:1 and 3:2 in the non-severe and severe groups, respectively (p=0.031). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and total bilirubin levels and acute liver injury (ALI) incidence were significantly higher in the severe group compared to non-severe group (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.025, p=0.014, respectively). In contrast, albumin levels were significantly lower (p=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that ALI was significantly associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (odds ratio (OR): 5.275; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.165–23.890, p=0.031), hemoglobin level (OR: 1.214; 95%CI: 1.083–1.361, p=0.001), and hypoalbuminemia (OR: 2.627; 95%CI: 1.283–5.379, p=0.008). Pre-existing liver diseases were present in 6.5% of patients. No significant differences were observed between the groups based on COVID-19 severity and ALI presence. Liver function test abnormalities, including ALI, are more prevalent in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. HIV infection, high hemoglobin levels, and hypoalbuminemia may be potential risk factors for ALI.

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection drives heterogeneous gastric pathologies, yet genotype-phenotype correlations in diverse populations remain underexplored. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the associations between H. pylori virulence genotypes (sabA, hopQ, hom family) and histopathological severity in gastric mucosa among 113 Indonesian dyspepsia patients (mean age: 49.6 years; male predominance: 64.6%). Whole-genome sequencing characterized virulence genotypes, while histopathological grading system using the Updated Sydney System assessed inflammation, atrophy, and bacterial density in the antral and corporal gastric regions. Phylogenetic analysis elucidated strain relatedness. Key genotype frequencies included sabA "on" (40.6%, 43/106), hopQ type I (53.7%, 43/80), and homCL (82.4%, 75/91). Statistical analysis revealed sabA "on" status significantly associated with elevated antral bacterial density (odds ratio (OR) 2.70 and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.10–6.60, p=0.027). The homC variants (homCL/homCS) demonstrated robust associations with chronic inflammation severity (OR: 3.04; 95%CI: 0.99–9.36, p=0.046) and atrophy progression (OR: 4.78; 95%CI: 1.00–22.86, p=0.035), in contrast to the hopQ genotype, which showed no histopathological association. These findings indicated that sabA and homC as critical determinants of gastric microenvironment modulation, potentially through sabA-mediated colonization efficiency and homCL-babA synergistic interactions. While histological profiles predominantly indicated mild atrophy, widespread severe chronic inflammation signals latent progression risks.
