Abstract

Skin aging is a progressive degenerative process characterized by a decline in the structural and functional capacity of the skin to maintain its protective, regenerative, and homeostatic roles. It is influenced by both intrinsic factors, such as genetics, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal changes, microbiota alterations, and decreased vitamin D production, and extrinsic factors, including ultraviolet radiation, pollution, smoking, oxidative stress, and lifestyle. Clinically, skin aging presents with thinning, dryness, loss of elasticity, fine to deep wrinkles, pigmentary changes, and benign skin lesions. The increasing elderly population, particularly in Indonesia, highlights the growing importance of addressing skin aging due to its impact not only on physical health but also on psychosocial well-being and quality of life. Management strategies include pharmacological approaches such as sunscreens, moisturizers, vitamin D and collagen supplementation, retinoids, and hormone replacement therapy, as well as non-pharmacological interventions including antioxidant-rich nutrition, hydration, allergen avoidance, wound care, dietary restriction, facial massage, and aesthetic procedures like stem cell therapy. Early prevention, timely recognition, and comprehensive management of skin aging are essential to support healthy aging and maintain the quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory bowel condition in infants and considered as one of the leading causes of death in infants, especially premature infants. The high mortality rate due to NEC in recent decades has become a problem because there is no current therapy that can optimally treat NEC. Currently, NEC is treated using Bell's Staging as a guide and surgery is a common procedure, especially if necrosis has occurred. However, complications arising from surgery not only reduce the patient's quality of life but can also result in death. Therefore, it is necessary to find new therapy in order to treat NEC effectively and minimize the possibility of side effects in NEC patients. Stem cells are known for their regenerative abilities which is potential to overcome tissue damage due to excessive inflammation in NEC. Previous studies also show that stem cells have become new therapy to treat other intestinal diseases which have similar features with NEC. This study aims to explain mainly on stem cells’s promising mechanism of action in treating NEC. The method used for this study is a literature review design by selecting and reviewing relevant previous literature using databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct. This paper summarizes pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, current therapy and mechanism of action of stem cells and their derivatives as future potential therapy for NEC. Based on evidence found, stem cells and their derivatives are potential to be used as NEC therapy in the future. However, the data obtained is not sufficient to support its use in humans. Given the urgency in finding an effective NEC management and the potency of stem cells, further research is needed to support the use of stem cells as NEC therapy.

Abstract

Abortion is defined as the process of expelling the products of conception before the fetus is fit to survive. The fetus is said to be viable or able to survive when it reaches 20 weeks of pregnancy or weighs 500 grams. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive understanding of abortion, including definition, epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, classification, and management of abortion. The method used is a literature review that includes various academic sources and the latest research related to abortion. Based on the type of occurrence, abortion is divided into two, namely spontaneous abortion and intentional abortion.. Based on the type of event, abortion is divided into two, namely spontaneous abortion and intentional abortion. Intentional abortion is divided into abortion provokatus medicinalis or abortion carried out with medical indications and abortion provokatus criminalis, namely abortion without a valid medical reason. Meanwhile, based on the clinical picture, abortion is divided into several types, namely imminens abortion, incipient abortion, incomplete abortion, complete abortion, missed abortion, and septic abortion. The various types of abortion have their own management.
