Abstract

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the predominant bacterial meningitis form in children under 13, with an incidence of 8.6 per 100,000 before age 15. Tuberculous Hydrocephalus (TH), often presenting with hydrocephalus, poses a significant challenge in Indonesia for both children and adults. The commonly used Ventriculo-peritoneal (VP)-shunt procedure for TH, though prevalent, is associated with multiple complications. As an alternative, the Ventriculo-atrial (VA)-shunt procedure has been explored, but reports on its use in TH in Indonesia are lacking. This case report details a 1-year-old girl with TH who initially underwent a VP-shunt procedure, which proved unsuccessful. Subsequently, the VA-shunt procedure was employed, leading to a complete recovery. Our findings contribute valuable insights into the potential effectiveness of the VA-shunt as an alternative intervention for TH, especially in the Indonesian medical landscape.

Abstract

Knee injuries are one of the common injuries, especially among athletes. Many studies have concluded that the main cause of these injuries were sudden movements while doing sports. The incidence of the knee joint injury in Indonesia was 38 to 78 per 100,000 patients with the prevalence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries of 16%. Recently, an increasing number of ACL injury patients was observed to be treated at the Ulin Hospital, Banjarmasin, Indonesia, when compared to the number of the previous years, making it important to understand the characteristics of patients experiencing these injuries. This study aimed to explore the characteristics of patients with ACL injuries in the hospital. Data for this retrospective descriptive study were collected from medical records during the period of  March 2022 to June 2023 from Ulin Hospital, Banjarmasin. The inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with an ACL injury with or without meniscus tear. From a total of 95 patients with ACL injuries,  30 (32%) were below 20 years old,   42 (44%) were 20-30 years old, 18 (19%) were 31-40 years old, 3 (3%) were 41-50 years old, and 2 (2%) were above 50 years old.  The ratio between men and women was 11:1. There were 74 patients who had sports-related injuries while the remaining 21 patients experienced the injury due to other activities.  Of the total 95 cases, 59 (62%) were treated nonoperatively and 36 (38%) received arthroscopy surgery. The arthroscopy was mostly performed to patients who also experienced a meniscus injury and in the chronic phase, with an average length of stay at the hospital of 2.6 days.

Abstract

Diet affects the microbial structure of the gut and human metabolic functions. Disruption of nutrient sources that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) will cause atrophy and inflammation of the colonic mucous. Striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) increases SCFA production because of its high levels of carbohydrates, protein, and fat content. This experimental study used 50 male mice (Mus musculus) aged 3 months old, weighing 20-30 grams, divided into control group (given standard feed) and treatment group (given mixture of standard feed and striped catfish meat). The mice were given treatment for eight (8) weeks at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia, from May to July 2024 and then sacrificed. Colon biopsies were examined using hematoxylin-eosin staining to determine crypt morphology, number of goblet cells, and number of inflammatory cells at Ulin Hospital Banjarmasin, Indonesia, from July until October 2024. The crypt morphology in the treatment group showed fewer abnormalities (5 out of 25 samples) compared to the control group (11 out of 23 samples) (p=0.041) with a moderate correlation (p=0.295). The number of goblet cells was higher in the treatment group (200.4±54.1) than in the control group (134.5±34.3) (p=0.001) with a strong correlation (p = 0.616). The number of inflammatory cells was lower in the treatment group (9.9±4.4) than in the control group (27.6±7.8) (p=0.001) with a very strong correlation (p=0.838). Thus, striped catfish supplementation reduces morphological abnormalities of the crypts and the number of inflammatory cells, as well as increases the number of goblet cells in the colon of mice.
