Abstract

Tetanus is an acute disease that affects the central nervous system caused by tetanospasmin toxin produced by Clostridium tetani. Tetanus is a deadly disease in developing countries, killing approximately 500,000 people per year. This is due to lack of hygiene, easy contamination, poor wound care, lack of public awareness of the importance of hygiene and tetanus vaccination. In general, tetanus is characterized by rigidity, muscle spasm and autonomic disorders. Spasms almost always occur in the neck and jaw muscles causing jaw closure (trismus, lockjaw) and involve not only the extremity muscles, but also the trunk muscles. Tetanus is not transmitted from human to human and can be prevented through immunization. Clostridium tetani is quite widespread in nature and cannot be eradicated. To reduce the number of cases, tetanus treatment efforts focus on prevention using vaccination with active immunization or passive immunization and post-exposure care.

Abstract

Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital foot deformity affecting one or both extremities with a global prevalence estimated at 0.6-1.5 per 1000 live births. The exact etiology of CTEV remains unclear, although genetic and environmental factors are thought to play significant roles. The deformities in CTEV typically include malposition of the tarsal bones, calf muscle atrophy, and shortening of the affected limb. This article aims to provide additional information on CTEV to facilitate early screening and improve patient prognosis. This study employed a literature review method covering the definition, epidemiology, etiology, pathological anatomy, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, scoring systems, and management of CTEV. Data were obtained through electronic searches in PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases.

Abstract

Stroke as a neurological disease caused by vascular injury to the central nervous system, is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The impact of a stroke is not only felt at the time of the incident but also post-stroke, particularly in the form of sleep disturbances experienced by 20-78% of patients. This review aims to delve into various aspects related to post-stroke sleep disorders, including definition, etiology, epidemiology, physiology, pathophysiology, management, and impact. These sleep disorders such as insomnia, hypersomnia, parasomnia, SDB (Sleep-disordered breathing), PLMS (Periodic Leg Movement during Sleep), and RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) can worsen rehabilitation and increase the risk of recurrent strokes. The existing therapies are still in the research phase with varying prognoses, indicating the need for a deeper understanding of this condition and its management.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the joints, with a global prevalence of approximately 0.5-1% of the adult population. Conventional RA treatments often have side effects, prompting the exploration of alternative options. This study aims to explore and review the potential of gingerol, an anti-inflammatory compound found in ginger (Zingiber officinale), as a treatment for RA. The method used was a literature review of 39 relevant articles. The results indicate that gingerol exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating inflammatory pathways. In conclusion, gingerol from ginger shows significant potential as an alternative treatment for RA, although further research is needed to overcome challenges in the extraction process and product development.

Abstract

Choledochal Cyst (CC) is a congenital anomaly characterized by the dilation of intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. This condition can occur at any age but is more common in infants and children, accounting for 80% of cases. This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and optimal management options for choledochal cysts, accompanied by case variations. The method used in this study is a literature review, gathering relevant literature from various references focused on the topic of choledochal cysts. Literature searches were conducted using library search websites, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, with the search keyword "Choledochal Cyst." The review indicates that choledochal cysts are more common in females and people of Asian descent, especially in Japan, with the most common symptoms presenting as the classic triad of abdominal pain, jaundice, and a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. This condition is more frequently diagnosed in children than in adults. Further research is needed to explore definite preventive efforts regarding this disease, as it is rare and its etiology remains uncertain.
