Abstract

Peripheral neuropathy is a peripheral nerve disorders involving sensory, motor, or mixed nerves. First-line therapies for peripheral neuropathy, such as analgesics and SSRIs, often yield suboptimal therapeutic responses, have side effects, and provide inadequate disease control. Therefore, there is a need for adjuvant therapy utilizing bioactive compounds from natural sources, one of which is marine algae. Marine algae contain various compounds that have the potential to serve as safe and effective alternative adjuvant therapies for peripheral neuropathy. The literature used was collected from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases with restrictions: publication years from 2015 to 2025 and in either Indonesian or English. The review indicated that several compounds found in marine algae, such as florotanins, terpenoids, polysaccharides, peptide proteins, essential amino acids, and omega-3 fatty acids, exhibited biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. These compounds showed potential as alternative adjuvant therapies for peripheral neuropathy. In conclusion, the compounds in marine algae demonstrated various biological activities, suggesting their potential for development as alternative adjuvant therapies for peripheral neuropathy. Further research is needed to test their safety and effectiveness before being applied in clinical practice.

Abstract

Tonsillitis is an inflammation and infection of the palatine tonsils, typically caused by viral or bacterial pathogens. It commonly affects children aged 5 to 15 years and has a high prevalence rate in Indonesia, with chronic tonsillitis accounting for 3.8% of ENT cases. This literature review aims to explore the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for acute tonsillitis. The method used in this paper is a literature-based descriptive analysis drawn from national and international medical sources. The main etiological agent is Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, although viruses like Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) also play a significant role. Clinical symptoms include sudden fever, sore throat, odynophagia, halitosis, dysphagia, and swollen lymph nodes. Diagnosis is established through clinical history, physical examination using Brodsky's Tonsil Scale, and confirmatory laboratory tests such as throat swab culture. Management of acute tonsillitis includes both pharmacological interventions, such as amoxicillin or clarithromycin, and non-pharmacological strategies including tonsillectomy for recurrent or chronic cases. The review concludes that proper diagnosis and evidence-based treatment are essential to prevent complications and recurrence. Furthermore, public education on personal hygiene and infection control can significantly reduce transmission. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation and rational antibiotic use in managing acute tonsillitis, particularly in areas with high disease prevalence.

Abstract

Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) is a primary neoplasm that is intermediate malignant, characterized by aggressive local growth and the possibility of metastasis, especially to the lungs. Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) occurs in bones, tendons, and soft tissues. The purpose of this literature study is to identify differences in GCT manifestations in various anatomical locations, evaluate risk factors that contribute to tumor growth and recurrence, and assess the effectiveness of various therapeutic modalities that have been used, both conservative and operative. The method used is a literature study by reviewing various scientific journals obtained from the database. The findings show that Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) is a group of neoplasms that are histologically similar but have different clinical, molecular characteristics, and anatomical locations, including GCT in bones (GCTB), tendons (GCTTS), and soft tissues (GCTST). Although generally classified as benign, GCT can be locally aggressive with a risk of recurrence and in some cases is capable of metastasis, especially to the lungs. GCTB is most commonly found in the long bones of individuals aged 20–40 years and is characterized by the H3F3A mutation, which is an important diagnostic marker. GCTTS, which originates in the synovium, is more common in women aged 30–50 years and shows increased CSF1 expression due to a genetic translocation.
