Abstract

Background: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in treatment, especially with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), 30-day mortality rates remain significant. The monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) has emerged as a potential predictor of mortality in STEMI patients, reflecting the balance between inflammation and anti-atherosclerotic processes in atherosclerotic plaques. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MHR and 30-day mortality in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI. Methods: This prospective observational study included 55 STEMI patients treated with pPCI at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital in Padang, Indonesia, between January and July 2024. Patients were included if they were ≥18 years old, undergoing their first pPCI, and had blood tests done within 24 hours of admission. Patients with prior revascularization, acute/chronic infections, malignancies, autoimmune diseases, or on lipid-lowering therapy were excluded. Blood samples were collected within 24 hours of admission. Monocyte counts were measured using flow cytometry, and HDL cholesterol levels were determined using a homogeneous enzymatic colorimetric method. The MHR was calculated by dividing the monocyte count by the HDL cholesterol level. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality, assessed through hospital records and telephone follow-up. Statistical analysis included chi square, t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 59.5 (±11.4) years, with 81.8% being male. The mean monocyte count and MHR were 968 (±212)/mm3 and 28.3 (±6.06), respectively. The median HDL cholesterol level was 33.4 (27-49) mg/dL. Both monocyte count and MHR were significantly higher in patients who died within 30 days compared to those who survived (p<0.001). Conclusion: The MHR is an independent predictor of 30-day mortality in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI. This readily available and cost-effective biomarker may aid in risk stratification and guide treatment strategies for this high-risk population.

Abstract

Background: Insulin resistance is a key factor in the development of metabolic diseases, which are increasingly prevalent in young adults. Early detection is crucial for timely intervention. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, calculated from fasting triglyceride and glucose levels, has emerged as a potential alternative to the more complex homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between the TyG index and HOMA-IR in detecting insulin resistance in young adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 non-diabetic young adults (aged 18-22 years). Fasting blood samples were collected to measure triglyceride, glucose, and insulin levels. The agreement between the TyG index and HOMA-IR was assessed using the Kappa coefficient. Results: The median age of the participants was 20 years, with 65.7% being female. The prevalence of insulin resistance was 79.4% based on the TyG index (cut-off value of 4.25) and 43.1% based on HOMA-IR (cut-off value of 2.2). The agreement between the two indices was slight (Kappa = 0.155, p = 0.001). Conclusion: The TyG index showed a higher prevalence of insulin resistance compared to HOMA-IR in this population. However, the agreement between the two indices was low. Further research is needed to validate the TyG index as a screening tool for insulin resistance in young adults.

Abstract

Background: Regular blood donation, while crucial for healthcare systems, can lead to iron deficiency and anemia in donors. This study investigated the impact of donation frequency on iron stores and hemoglobin levels in regular blood donors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 82 regular blood donors at the blood transfusion unit of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital from February to April 2024. Participants underwent pre-transfusion screening, including a questionnaire on donation frequency and iron supplement use. Blood samples were collected during donation, and serum ferritin, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) were measured if the C-reactive protein (CRP) test was negative. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The mean age of the donors was 31 years, with the majority being female (56.1%). The most common donation frequency was 6-10 times (34.15%). None of the donors reported using iron supplements. Serum ferritin levels showed significant differences among female donors based on donation frequency (p=0.004) but not among male donors (p=0.114). Hemoglobin levels also differed significantly among female donors (p=0.002), but not among male donors (p=0.213). Significant differences were observed in MCV and MCH values in both male and female donors (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively), but not in MCHC values (p=0.135). Conclusion: Donation frequency significantly impacts iron stores and hemoglobin levels in female blood donors but not in male donors. Regular monitoring of iron stores, particularly in female donors, is crucial to prevent iron deficiency and anemia.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third malignancy and second leading cause of death in the world. CEA levels before surgery can be used as a cancer marker to help staging, planning, monitoring therapy and disease recurrence. One factor that influences CEA levels is the degree of differentiation of cancer cells. This study aims to determine differences in CEA levels based on the degree of histopathological differentiation in colorectal cancer patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytical observational study using medical record data from colorectal cancer patients from January 2021 – August 2023. The sample was 65 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. CEA examination uses the ELFA method. The Mann Whitney test was used to see differences in CEA levels based on the degree of differentiation, statistically significant if p < 0.05. Results: A total of 65 patients with an average age of 56.89 years, 58.5% men, 41.5% women. A total of 10 patients were stage I, 29 stage II, and 26 stage III. Based on histopathology, 50 patients were classified as low grade and 15 as high grade. Low-grade CEA levels were 67.72 (3.14-200) ng/mL, while high grade were 3.2 (0.57-11.42) ng/mL. There was a significant difference in CEA levels based on histopathological differentiation (p < 0.001). Conclusion: CEA levels are higher in low-grade than high-grade colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication of diabetes mellitus with a high risk of infection. Patterns of causative bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity can vary between hospitals and time periods. Methods: This descriptive research involved all swabs and pus samples from DFU patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang between January and June 2023. Samples were processed through culture, Gram staining, and identification using VITEK 2. Patient medical record data was analyzed for demographic characteristics. Results: Of the 23 samples, 65% were gram-negative bacteria, dominated by Escherichia coli (30%). Gram-positive bacteria were found in 35%, with Staphylococcus aureus (18%) as the most. E. coli showed resistance to ampicillin and ceftriaxone but was sensitive to meropenem and amikacin. S. aureus is resistant to vancomycin but sensitive to benzylpenicillin. Conclusion: Gram-negative bacteria, especially E. coli, were more dominant in DFU at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang during the research period. The pattern of antibiotic resistance found emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy based on sensitivity test results.
