Abstract

Precocious puberty is an endocrine disorder characterized by the premature development of secondary sexual characteristics, defined as occurring before the age of 8 in girls and 9 in boys. This literature review aims to understand precocious puberty: when childhood ends too soon. The article was compiled using a literature review method. Data were obtained through a search of various scientific sources, including international and national journals, textbooks, and clinical guidelines from the Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI). Central precocious puberty, most often idiopathic in girls but associated with underlying pathology in boys, is caused by premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, while the peripheral form is caused by excess sex steroid production independent of gonadotropin stimulation. Clinical manifestations include early breast development, testicular enlargement, rapid linear growth, acne, and the early appearance of pubic or axillary hair. Diagnosis relies on a combination of careful history taking, physical examination, hormonal testing, bone age assessment, and imaging studies such as pelvic ultrasound or cranial MRI when indicated. Management strategies vary based on etiology, with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists being the standard treatment for central precocious puberty, while surgical or medical therapy is used for peripheral causes. In conclusion, precocious puberty is a childhood health issue of increasing concern due to its increasing global incidence. This condition not only impacts accelerated bone maturation and potential short stature in adulthood, but also impacts the child's psychological well-being and causes emotional distress to the family.

Abstract

Bilateral ureteral stones are a rare clinical manifestation of renal colic, obstructing urine flow, and can cause severe acute kidney injury (AKI) within hours. This case study aims to provide information regarding the diagnosis and management of bilateral ureteral stones causing acute kidney injury in a 52-year-old female patient. This case study uses a descriptive method to describe the current situation, for further analysis and interpretation. Based on anamnesis and physical examination, the patient was diagnosed with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) stage 3 with a differential diagnosis of Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD) stage 4. This condition is caused by urinary tract obstruction due to bilateral ureterolithiasis (stones in both ureters) and proximal right ureteral stenosis, which inhibits urine flow and worsens kidney function acutely and chronically. Complaints of right and left abdominal pain, as well as a history of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and hypertension, support the formation of stones in the urinary tract. The conclusion is that the patient Wirni/P/52 years old/AKI stage 3 dd ACKD stage 4 dt obstructive uropathy + ureterolithiasis infection + normocytic normochromic anemia dt chronic disease + bilateral ureteral stones + right proximal ureteral stenosis.

Abstract

Gliomas are the most common type of central nervous system neoplasms in children, exhibiting distinct clinical and biological characteristics compared to adult gliomas. Pediatric gliomas encompass various histological and molecular subtypes, ranging from low-grade gliomas (LGG) to high-grade gliomas (HGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), each with differing clinical presentations, treatment responses, and prognoses. This literature review discusses the definition, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors of pediatric gliomas. Advances in imaging and molecular technologies have enabled more precise diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted molecular therapies, tailored according to tumor grade and location. A comprehensive understanding of the biological and clinical aspects of pediatric gliomas is essential for improving patient prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract

The skin, as the largest organ of the human body, plays a vital role in protecting the internal systems from external environments. As age increases, the skin undergoes two types of aging: intrinsic, caused by genetic and hormonal factors, and extrinsic, due to environmental factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation and pollution. The aging process is characterized by a decrease in fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, leading to a reduction in skin strength and elasticity. Oxidative stress resulting from the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributes to DNA damage and triggers inflammatory responses that accelerate aging, manifesting as wrinkles and sagging skin. Chronic inflammation, induced by ROS, further supports premature aging by increasing inflammatory substances that cause redness and irritation of the skin. Additionally, dermal remodeling is a physiological process essential for maintaining healthy skin. Still, it can become pathological if there is an imbalance between synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix, thereby hastening signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. In efforts to combat skin aging, several pharmacological aspects, such as topical therapies using sunscreens, retinoids, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), have proven effective. Furthermore, systemic antioxidant supplementation also contributes to skin condition improvement. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of skin aging, the importance of skincare, and therapeutic strategies to counteract premature aging.

Abstract

Gunstock deformity, also known as cubitus varus, is a common complication that arises after supracondylar humerus fractures in children, primarily due to malunion of the bone. This condition results in an inward deviation of the forearm when the elbow is in full extension, creating a pronounced change in contour that can significantly impact biomechanical function and the quality of life of the patient. Common clinical symptoms include pain on the lateral side of the elbow, limited range of motion, and joint instability, particularly associated with ulnar neuropathy. Diagnosis is established through physical examination and radiological imaging to identify the angle of deviation and malalignment. Management of this deformity varies based on severity, ranging from observation in mild cases to surgical interventions like osteotomy in more severe cases. Common corrective techniques include lateral closing wedge osteotomy and dome osteotomy, aimed at restoring anatomical alignment and preventing long-term complications. Postoperative rehabilitation is crucial for regaining joint function and muscle strength. Long-term prognosis is generally good; however, it requires appropriate management to avoid complications like joint stiffness and ulnar neuropathy. A comprehensive approach encompassing diagnosis, deformity correction, and rehabilitation is essential for achieving optimal functional outcomes.
