Abstract

The increasing number of non-communicable diseases demands practical therapy innovations, including adipose-derived stem cell application. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of adipose stem cell therapy on non-communicable disease patients. The method used in this study was a systematic review according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The database search was done on PubMed, Google Scholar, Proquest, and the EBSCO host database between 2016 and 2021. ROBINS-I tool and RoB-2 were used to assess the risk of bias in the clinical trial study. The first literature search identified a total of 2615 articles. After exclusion for some reason, 6 articles were included in this systematic review study. A total of five studies were included in this study. Based on the risk of bias assessment of the included studies, it was found that all studies had a low risk of bias in all domains. This study showed that the efficacy of adipose-derived stem cell therapy was inconsistent; however, the results were promising. In addition, the results showed that adipose-derived stem cell therapy was safe without significant side effects. Further study was needed to identify therapeutic strategies based on Evidence-based Medicine (EBM).

Abstract

BACKGROUND Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection with a low cure rate. While dermatophytes are the most common causal agent for onychomycosis, the incidence of Candida and nondermatophyte mold (NDM) onychomycosis is increasing. This study aimed to analyze the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with onychomycosis. METHODS Patients who visited the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, and were diagnosed with onychomycosis from 2017 to 2022 were included. Diagnosis was established through clinical examination, supported by the result of direct microscopic examination with potassium hydroxide. RESULTS Of 171 patients, 93.6% had onychodystrophy, 65.5% were females, and 62.0% were aged 19–59 years. Most patients had onychodystrophy in more than three nails, affecting fingernails (31.6%) and toenails (34.5%). Interestingly, 84.8% of patients had no history of nail diseases. The median onset of disease was 24.0 (1–1,040) weeks, while the median onychomycosis severity index was 10.0 (2–40). Most cases were caused by Candida albicans (48.3%). Fusarium was the only NDM documented (2.3%). Some patients were resistant to itraconazole (11.4%) and miconazole (4.5%). Overall, 49.1% of the patients were declared not cured. CONCLUSIONS Candida was the predominant cause of onychomycosis, and onychodystrophy was the dominant feature. Current treatment regimens with systemic or topical antifungal agents did not yield satisfactory results, with more than half of the patients deemed not cured.

Abstract

Background: Hair loss is a normal experience, but if the amount of hair loss exceeds what is considered normal, it will usually cause anxiety for the patient. In Indonesia, almost every Muslim woman wears a hijab. The hijab is one of many factors believed to cause hair loss. Telogen effluvium (TE) itself is a hair cycle disorder in which the anagen phase terminates prematurely, resulting in diffuse club hair loss without scarring, and TE itself has many risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the incidence of TE in women who wear hijabs and those who do not. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2019 to April 2021 involving 188 healthy women aged 18 years and over who had not yet reached menopause. In the hijab group, it was determined that they should wear a minimum of 8 hours a day for at least 5 years. The test was carried out on hair that had not been washed using a trichogram, to look for hair characteristics in each group (hijab-wearing and non-hijab-wearing). Analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the Chi-square test and odds ratio. Results: Telogen effluvium was higher in subjects wearing hijab (26.8%) than in subjects who did not wear hijab (18.1%), (p-value 0.040, OR 2.036). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between TE in women who wear hijab compared to those who do not. Further studies should be conducted in other populations with a larger sample size to confirm these results.
