Abstract

Background: The incidence of low birth weight babies (LBW) is important because it is an indicator to measure a child's health status, and until now it is still one of the health problems generally faced by developing countries, including Indonesia. One of the risk factors for LBW is the level of hemoglobin (Hb). Hemoglobin is a parameter that is widely used to determine the prevalence of anemia. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between hemoglobin levels of pregnant women and the incidence of low birth weight babies. Method: The research method used a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 49 respondents who were taken by simple random sampling method after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the Ngegong, Mangunharjo and Demangan Health Centers, Madiun City. Result: Data obtained through the patient's medical record. Data analysis in this study using the Chi Square test obtained a p- value of 0.02 <0.05 and OR = 0.75. Conclusion: So it can be concluded that there is a relationship between low hemoglobin levels and the incidence of low birth weight, where low hemoglobin levels have a 0.75 times higher risk of experiencing LBW. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient value of 0.445 indicates the strength of the relationship between these two variables in the moderate category.

Abstract

Introduction: Bacterial meningitis has a high mortality rate in children. Bacterial meningitis is diagnosed through medical history, physical and laboratory examinations, and mainly cerebrospinal fluid analysis through lumbar puncture (LP). The procedure on children might be challenging due to the multiple adverse effects; not all children comply with the procedure. There are studies with different blood biomarkers for the diagnosis because it is simple and less invasive in children. Objective: This review focused on the blood Procalcitonin (PCT) threshold value as a promising blood biomarker that might be useful for diagnosing bacterial meningitis in children. Methods: Literature search across 3 databases, Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, used PICO framework to structure the search, following the PRISMA standards. Of 759 articles, 11 articles met the criteria inclusion: children with meningitis under 18 years old, shows procalcitonin cut-off value and have lumbar puncture performed, sensitivity and specificity reported, in English. Exclusion criteria:  studies of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and literature reviews, as well as the value of blood procalcitonin as part of a scoring system or machine learning model.Results: The analysis of 11 articles reveals a blood PCT cut-off value of 0.2 to 10 ng/ml, with sensitivity ranging from 24% to 100% and specificity ranging from 63% to 94%. Conclusions: Blood PCT helps diagnose bacterial meningitis, especially for children who are not eligible for LP procedures. The blood PCT levels between 0.2 and 5 ng/mL showed a sensitivity of over 85%. The cut-off value with 100% sensitivity was found to be 2 ng/mL. A cut-off value exceeding 5 ng/mL demonstrated a specificity of over 90%.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Hematological parameters such as Hematocrit (Hct), Erythrocyte Count (RBC), and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) have been linked to the pathological mechanisms and complications of DM. This study investigates the relationship between glycemic control status (based on HbA1c results) and these hematological parameters in type 2 DM patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 43 type 2 DM patients from Husada Utama Hospital, Surabaya. Data, including HbA1c, Hct, RBC, and MCV values, were collected from patient medical records. Results: The Spearman Rank test results between glycemic control status (HbA1c) and hematocrit in type 2 DM patients showed p=0.013 with r=0.374, indicating a significant moderate positive correlation (r = 0.3 to 0.5, p < 0.05). The Spearman Rank test results between glycemic control status (HbA1c) and erythrocyte count showed p=0.008 with r=0.402, also indicating a significant moderate positive correlation (r = 0.3 to 0.5, p < 0.05). However, the Spearman Rank test results between glycemic control status (HbA1c) and MCV showed p=0.052 with r=-0.302, indicating a moderate negative correlation (r = -0.3 to -0.5) that is not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: There is a notable relationship between glycemic control and hematological parameters in type 2 DM patients. Poor glycemic control is associated with significant variations in Hct, RBC, and MCV levels, highlighting the importance of monitoring these parameters in managing diabetes complications.

Abstract

Background: The study investigates the combined effects of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and a high-fat diet (HFD) on hepatic gene expression in a breast cancer mouse model. Both DMBA and HFD are associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis, which may contribute to cancer progression.Methods: Female C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: standard diet (ND), ND + DMBA, and HFD + DMBA. Mice in the ND + DMBA and HFD + DMBA groups received DMBA injections weekly for six weeks. The HFD + DMBA group was also fed a high-fat diet for four weeks prior to DMBA administration. After a 12-week treatment period, liver tissues were collected and analyzed for NF-κB and CCN1/CYR61 gene expression using semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results: The study revealed significant upregulation of NF-κB and CCN1/CYR61 expression in the ND + DMBA and HFD + DMBA groups compared to the control group. Notably, the HFD + DMBA group exhibited the highest expression levels of these genes, suggesting that the combination of HFD and DMBA synergistically exacerbates hepatic inflammation and fibrosis.Conclusion: The findings indicate that a high-fat diet in combination with carcinogen exposure can significantly enhance hepatic gene expression related to inflammation and fibrosis, highlighting the importance of dietary management in cancer prevention and treatment.

Abstract

Background: Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is a serious inflammatory disorder of the juxtalimbal corneal stroma, characterized by epithelial defects, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and progressive thinning of the stroma, potentially resulting in vision loss. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common systemic autoimmune condition linked to non-infectious PUK, responsible for about 34% of cases, with nearly half exhibiting bilateral involvement. Objective: This case report presents a patient with bilateral PUK associated with RA and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely management to prevent vision loss. Case presentation: A 43-year-old female presented with a 12-month history of blurred vision and progressive ocular pain. Physical inspection revealed a skin rash, swan neck deformity, boutonniere deformity, and hallux valgus on both legs. Ocular examination showed a crescent-shaped peripheral corneal ulcer with an epithelized iris prolapse in the right eye, and nasal corneal thinning with peripheral ulceration in the left eye. Irregular pupils and distinct lens morphology were also noted. Serological tests were positive for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF). Result: The patient was diagnosed with RA-associated PUK and started on systemic and topical corticosteroids. Treatment led to initial improvement in ocular inflammation and stabilization of corneal structure. Conclusion: RA is the most frequently associated autoimmune condition in PUK. Early recognition of systemic autoimmune disease in patients with peripheral corneal ulcers is critical. Timely multidisciplinary management involving internists and ophthalmologists can preserve vision and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Diphtheria vaccine coverage decreased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, which infects the upper respiratory system and produces toxins circulating in the body. The disease was fatal, with a mortality rate higher in children. This study described a case series of confirmed hospitalised diphtheria patients at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital (SSIDH) eighteen months post-pandemic. Objective: to describe epidemiological characteristics, laboratory examinations and outcomes of hospitalised diphtheria patients at SSIDH from January 1st, 2022, to June 31st,2023. Case Presentation: We reported ten confirmed diphtheria cases based on RT-PCR and clinical and epidemiological diagnosis. Of the ten cases, nine were children (<18 years old), six were male patients, and five lived in Jakarta. Based on Albert staining, 9 of 10 samples were found to be bacilli, positive-gram bacteria with metachromatic granular. Result: According to the RT-PCR examination, eight cases were confirmed positive for toxigenic diphtheria, five were a mitis subtype, one was a gravis subtype, and the other four were undetected. Based on clinical examination, eight cases were classified as severe diphtheria, five cases included myocarditis, and three patients passed away. Pediatric cases dominated diphtheria cases. RT-PCR examinations are more accurate and specific to finding toxigenic subtypes in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Conclusion: The detection of diphtheria cases in adult’s highlights concerns about adult immunity and awareness of vaccination. Vaccination campaigns and booster shots are essential, alongside continuous surveillance and accurate testing to prevent a resurgence of the disease.
