Abstract

ABSTRACT Intracranial complications from sinusitis are rare and can be life-threatening. Children have a higher risk of developing complications and difficult to recognize their signs and symptoms. A 14-year-old child presented with complaints of severe pain in the right ear and fever. The patient had a history of trauma to the right nose 2 years ago, controlled asthma, and an allergy to humid air. Painkillers were given which did not improve, followed by advanced radiology. The results showed an epidural abscess accompanied by sinusitis on the right frontal. Craniotomy followed by antibiotic therapy was performed as well as an evaluation of the patient's symptoms. Epidural abscess is a rare intracranial complication, and its recognition is quite tricky, requiring supporting examination and good teamwork. Early recognition and adequate therapy can prevent morbidity and mortality.  Keywords: Epidrual Abscess, Intracranial, Rhinosinusitis  ABSTRAK Komplikasi intrakranial dari sinusitis merupakan kejadian yang jarang dan dapat mengancam nyawa.

Abstract

Uric acid is a byproduct of purine metabolism in the body, typically excreted through urine. However, excessive uric acid can lead to the accumulation of crystals in the joints, resulting in gouty arthritis, particularly in individuals of productive age. This article aims to discuss a community service initiative to prevent elevated uric acid levels through routine screenings and education on healthy lifestyles. The initiative employed the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) approach, encompassing counseling, uric acid level examinations, and iterative evaluations, thereby enhancing public awareness of the importance of maintaining normal uric acid levels and understanding healthy lifestyle practices. Education and early detection of uric acid levels can help the community comprehend actionable steps to reduce the risk of long-term health complications.
