Abstract

Background: The pre-analytic stage has the most significant contribution to error, which is 60% to 70%. This is an excellent contribution to the dependability of laboratory results. Delays in the examination often occur in the laboratory due to various factors influencing glucose examination outcomes. Purpose: To ascertain the effect of long delays in various temperatures on the results of plasma NaF and serum glucose tests in diabetes mellitus patients who have hypercholesterolemia. Method: Pre-test and post-test design used in a pre-experimental method. In the pretest, plasma NaF and serum glucose levels were checked immediately. In the posttest, the plasma NaF and serum samples were delayed for 4 and 8 hours at the temperature of the refrigerator (4°C) and room temperature (25°C). Result: The results of One-way ANOVA test analysis of the plasma NaF glucose level with an immediate examination, a delay of 4 and 8 hours at room temperature (25°C) showed no effect with a Sig. of 0.423 > 0.05. Plasma NaF glucose level with an immediate examination, 4 and 8 hours delay in refrigerator temperature (4°C) showed no effect with Sig. of 0.772 > 0.05. Serum glucose levels with an immediate examination, 4 and 8 hours delay at room temperature (25°C) showed no effect with a Sig. of 0.333 > 0.05. Serum glucose levels with an immediate examination, 4 and 8 hours delay in refrigerator temperature (4°C) showed no effect with a Sig. of 0.604 > 0.05. Conclusion: There was no effect of 4 hours and 8 hours of delay at the temperature of the refrigerator (4°C) and room temperature (25°C) on the results of NaF and serum glucose examinations in patients with diabetes mellitus who have hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients are susceptible to wound infections brought on by S. aureus bacteria, in dealing with infections caused by bacteria, antibiotic treatment was conducted. Nevertheless, misapplication of antibiotics might lead to drug resistance or MRSA. Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a crucial factor of S. aureus pathogenicity. Skin and soft tissue infections can be caused by the PVL gene. Purpose: To detect PVL gene in ulcer swabs of diabetic mellitus patients against MRSA strains. Method: Employing descriptive quantitative data analysis of PVL gene detection observations on ulcer swab of diabetes mellitus patients using the RT-PCR method. Ulcer swab samples were collected at Dharmahusada and Banyu Urip Diabetes Wound Specialist Hospital, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The research was conducted at the Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Health Polytechnic Ministry of Health Surabaya, Bacteriology Laboratory for the isolation and identification of MRSA and Molecular Biology Laboratory for the detection of the PVL gene in April–May 2022. Result: From 30 samples of ulcer swabs, 8 samples were positive for MRSA and 22 samples were negative for MRSA. After that, the MRSA positive samples were detected using the RT-PCR method to detect the PVL gene. The results of PVL detection were obtained from 6 samples (75%) positive for detecting the PVL gene and 2 samples (25%) negative for detecting the PVL gene. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that ulcer swabs from diabetes mellitus patients had the PVL gene against MRSA.

Abstract

Background: Acrylic denture base material has advantages such as good aesthetics, ease of repair, and affordable price, but this denture has mechanical properties, one of which is low tensile strength so fractures often occur during use. Utilization of natural fibers such as ramie (Boehmeria Nivea) and coconut coir (Coco Nucifera L) can be used as an alternative reinforcement for acrylic denture bases. Purpose: To determine the effect of adding ramie fiber and coconut coir fiber at different concentrations on the tensile strength of the acrylic denture base. Method: This study used a laboratory experimental method with a flat dumbell-shaped specimen with a size of 75 í— 10 í— 3 mm based on ISO 527-1 (2019). The specimens consisted of 42 plates which were divided into 7 groups, namely 6 specimens each group without fiber addition (control), with the addition of ramie fiber 1%, 2%, 3%, and the addition of coconut coir fiber 1%, 2%, 3%. Tensile strength testing using Universal Testing Machine (UTM), data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA test and Post Hoc LSD test. Result: The 3% ramie fiber addition group had the highest tensile strength (76.47 MPa), the 1% coconut coir fiber addition group had the lowest tensile strength (58.91 MPa). There was a significant difference in the results of the control group's tensile strength test and the addition of 3% ramie fiber and 1% coconut coir fiber (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: The greater the concentration of ramie and coconut fiber additions, the higher the tensile strength value, although the tensile strength value in the coconut fiber addition group was lower than the control group and ramie fiber addition.

Abstract

Background: Since the prevalence of chronic renal failure disease has increased. Packed Red Cell (PRC) transfusions were a common way to replace the kidneys' function in filtration. However, the reaction caused was not widely reported. Purpose: To assess the profile of incompatible reactions in PRC transfusions of chronic kidney disease patients at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. Method: A descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design was employed to identify incompatibility reactions in 210 patients using medical records from July–December 2021 at Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar. Sample determination using saturated sampling techniques and data analysis were carried out descriptively. Result: Incompatible reactions in patients with chronic renal failure at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar still affected 57 people (27.14%) out of 210 people with chronic renal failure. This condition could increase fatalities in various health services if not appropriately handled. Incompatible reactions could occur, and the higher risk was in patients of the male sex who were elderly (45–65 years), had blood type O, had hemoglobin (Hb) levels ranging from 6.1–9.0 g/dL, and had conducted PRC transfusions above three pouches with a frequency of more than three times. Conclusion: People with chronic kidney failure still had a high chance of having an incompatible reaction after a PRC transfusion. Many different things caused these reactions. Incompatibility reactions in people with chronic kidney failure should happen less often in the future if they were evaluated and found early.

Abstract

Background: Pyogenic infections that occur can be caused by direct bacterial contamination of the wound, such as infection in a post-surgical wound or infection after trauma. Efforts to control infection can be done with the use of antibiotics. Purpose: To determine the profile of bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity in wound culture in hospitalized patients in Hajj General Hospital Surabaya, East Java in 2021. Method: This study used the Chi-square test and descriptive analysis in the form of distribution tables and percentages using secondary data based on the results of examination of pus culture at the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory in Hajj General Hospital Surabaya, East Java in 2021. Result: The results of research on wound culture samples showed as many as 113 patients (56.22%) with positive culture results, which were predominantly female as many as 59 patients (50.9%) and the highest age category namely at the age of 46-55 years as many as 39 patients (33.6%). Based on bacteria, the most dominant type of bacteria in the Gram-negative group was Escherichia coli ESBL with 21 isolates (26.6%), while Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, was found in 16 isolates (43.3). The results of antibiotic sensitivity on Gram-negative bacteria were Piperacillin/Tazobactam and Meropenem, and on Gram-positive bacteria Vancomycin and Linezolid were obtained. Conclusion: E. coli and S. aureus are the most important causes of wound infections and the suppressor organisms in this study. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of all isolates showed that the antibiotics amikacin and meropenem were sensitive to Gram-negative bacteria especially ESBL-producing bacteria, and the antibiotics vancomycin and linezolid were sensitive to Gram-positive bacteria especially MRSA.

Abstract

Background: Namnam (Cynometra cauliflora L.) has been reported to contain bioactive compounds that are beneficial as being antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant. Namnam fruit (Cynometra cauliflora L.) is a herbal plant that has antibacterial properties because it contains chemicals in the form of tannins, saponins, and flavonoids. Purpose: To determine the content of phytochemical compounds contained in them and their activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Eshcerichia coli. Method: The method used in this study was agar diffusion using blank disks and the measurement of the inhibition of the test bacteria. Result: The results showed that Namnam fruit juice (Cynometra cauliflora L.) was proven to contain alkaloids, phenol, flavonoid, and saponin phytochemicals. The results of the inhibition zone measurement for S. aureus bacteria at a 100% concentration showed 6 mm and for E. coli bacteria at a 100% concentration showed 7.33 mm, which means that the inhibition zone of the two bacteria was quite intense. It meant that the higher the concentration, the greater the inhibition zone and the stronger the antibacterial activity produced. Namnam fruit juice activity in inhibiting the growth of E. coli bacteria was more substantial when compared to S. aureus bacteria. Conclusion: The result of this study concluded that Namnam fruit juice had the potential to be an antibacterial agent.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still becoming a problem in several countries with the emergence of new variants with the latest variant named Omicron. Studies show that patients with COVID-19 tend to have Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) because of high pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines levels. Since its role as an antiviral agent, anti-cytokine, immunomodulator, antioxidant and has potential effect in maintaining body functions, vitamin C can be used as one of therapy. There is still arguable about giving treatment of COVID-19 patients with Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC). Previous research has not been discussed related to accelerating recovery and decreasing mortality. Purpose: To identify the impact of IVC intervention given to COVID-19 patients admitted in hospital by reviewing clinical outcomes particularly on complexity or mortality. Review: Literature information was sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases through keywords to retrieve inclusion criteria published during 2019-2021. Result: We found that IVC influenced inflammatory biomarkers such as CRP, d-dimer, ferritin, and several inflammatory cytokines, mortality, length of stay, oxygenation, organ and immune system function but showed no significant difference between the control group. Conclusion: IVC treatment might be an essential adjuvant therapy in the aggravation of mild, severe, and critical COVID-19 patients, but did not understate complexity or mortality. Hence, further research and evaluation in clinical trials are needed.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus is a virus that attacks the immune system, especially the human respiratory system. The elderly are at high risk of being infected with Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19), and as they get older, they are at risk of experiencing severe symptoms when infected with COVID-19. Leukocytes play a role in the immune system against foreign objects. The leukocyte count will decrease in the elderly. On the other hand, the increase of leukocytes plays a role as a clinical sign that is useful to be a predictor of body immunity when infected with COVID-19. Purpose: To determine the total leukocyte count in elderly patients that were confirmed COVID-19 and hospitalized with and without a ventilator. Method: This study was a cross-sectional design study involving 93 elderly patients in General Hospital Surabaya. Result: The results showed no difference in the total leukocyte count in elderly hospitalized patients with and without a ventilator (p-value = 0.756). Age above 70 years old increases the risk of patients requiring a ventilator up to 1.7 times compared to patients under 70 years old. The highest leukocyte count was 20.880/mm3, and the lowest was 3.760/mm3. The ratio of leukocyte count in elderly patients with a ventilator group is 1 : 3 for low and high leukocyte counts, respectively. Conclusion: Leukocyte count is an important parameter as the predictor of the progression of the disease and helps in the decision regarding treatment strategy to prevent the cytokine storm.

Abstract

Background: Thorax CT scan is one of the medical supports that contributes most importantly to the diagnosis, especially cases of COVID-19. The disadvantage that has a CT scan image is noise. When the noise is high then the Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) value produced is low. Canny operator edge detection technique is one solution to animate noise. Purpose: Analyzing differences in image quality and anatomical information on thorax CT scan images in COVID-19 patients before and after the application of canny operator edge detection techniques. Method: A quasi experimental research on thorax CT Scan images before and after the application of canny operator edge detection which amounted to 10 samples. Image assessment is done by measuring noise, SNR, and anatomical information. Differences in image quality (noise and SNR) are tested with paired T-tests. Anatomical information is tested with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Result: There are differences in image quality in thorax CT scan images in COVID-19 patients before and after the application of canny operator edge detection techniques, with p-value <0.001. There are differences in the anatomical information of thorax CT scan images in COVID-19 patients before and after the application of canny operator edge detection technique with a p-value of 0.004. Conclusion: Edge detection operator canny techniques are able to lower noise values, improve SNR and improve image anatomy information thorax CT scan in COVID-19 patients.
