Abstract

Background: Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) (Family: Crassulaceae), also known as Kalanchoe pinnatum, is a perennial herb, 3 to 5 meters tall, with opposed glabrous leaves. It is used to treat various illnesses due to its many health benefits. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the biological importance of B. pinnatum leaf extracts against some pathogenic bacteria. Method: Freshly harvested leaves of B. pinnatum were collected, air-dried, pulverized to powder and stored in air-tight containers using standard methods. Extracts were obtained from the powder using ethanol, ethyl acetate and distilled water. Pathogenic bacterial isolates were collected and their identity were confirmed using colonial and biochemical tests. The extracts were screened for antibacterial, antioxidant and phytochemical potentials using standard methods. Result: The highest percentage yield was obtained with the ethanol extract (12.2%) of B. pinnatum and the lowest yield (5.3 %) was obtained with the ethyl acetate extract. The ethanol extract was effective against eight (8) out of the thirteen test isolates, while the aqueous extract had the lowest activity and was effective against only two bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Haemophillus influenzae). The lowest MIC observed with the three extracts is 25 mg/ml. B. pinnatum leaf extracts possess high antioxidant properties that are concentration dependent. The phytochemical constituents that were recorded in this study include saponins, terpenoids, steroids, tannins and glycosides. Steroid was present in only the ethanol extract but absent in the other two. Conclusion: B. pinnatum leaves have antibacterial, antioxidant and phytochemical properties and could be further utilized to manage bacterial infections.

Abstract

Background: An anterior crossbite is a type of malocclusion in which one or more maxillary anterior teeth are positioned lingually to the mandibular anterior teeth, compromising aesthetics and reducing patient confidence. A thorough understanding of the patient's chief complaint is essential for developing an effective treatment plan. A diagnostic wax-up is recommended to improve predictability and facilitate the modification of maxillary and mandibular relationship ultimately enhancing aesthetic outcome. Purpose: To describe the procedure for creating a diagnostic wax-up of the maxillary anterior teeth in an anterior crossbite case for aesthetic purposes. Case analysis: Maxillary and mandibular working models were received, showing an anterior reverse bite malocclusion, with an overjet of -3 mm and an overbite of 2 mm. The dentist requested a diagnostic wax-up of the maxillary anterior teeth to achieve optimal aesthetic results. Result: The master model was received, marked, occluded, and mounted on an articulator. Wax was then applied and shaped to refine the anatomy of tooth 21, with the point and line angles adjusted toward the center to create a smaller appearance while carefully considering the height and convexity. Wax restorations were made covering 6 anterior teeth from maxillary left canine to maxillary right canines with the occlusal relationships adjusted to approximate a normal appearance. Conclusion: The diagnostic wax-up procedure involves preparing the working models, establishing the median line, mounting the models on an articulator, and sequentially waxing teeth numbers 11 and 21 first, followed by teeth 12 and 22, and finally teeth 13 and 23. The overjet is increased to achieve a more normal maxillomandibular occlusion, followed by careful evaluation.

Abstract

Background: Knowing the description of serum electrolytes in those with a history of hypertension and congestive heart failure is critical. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to look into the estimation of serum electrolytes, the correlation between serum electrolytes (sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chlorine (Cl-)) levels with blood pressure, and the demographic characteristics of heart failure patients with a history of hypertension. Method: A retrospective design was used in this study, which used progress records (e.g., participant demographic data, medical history, and clinical laboratory tests such as serum electrolytes and blood chemistry) from patients with hypertension and Heart Failure (HF) who were hospitalized. Result: The present study established no correlation between serum electrolyte levels and blood pressure. The highest of Na+ levels were 169 mEq/L, K+ 6.4 mEq/L, and Cl- 119 mEq/L. Most participants had the habit of not smoking (87 people, 79.8%) and not consuming alcohol (91 people, 83.5%). Demographic characteristics such as gender, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption had no significant impact on serum electrolyte levels, except for a history of alcohol consumption on sodium levels, which had a significant effect (p-value = 0.014). Furthermore, an absence of correlation was observed between demographic factors and blood pressure. Conclusion: A lack of relationship between serum electrolyte levels and blood pressure. Similarly, demographic characteristics were not correlated with blood pressure. HF patients with a history of hypertension show normal serum electrolyte levels, but a significant relationship between alcohol consumption habits and sodium levels was found.

Abstract

Background: Thrombocytopenia, a condition characterized by a low platelet count, is the most prevalent hematological abnormality observed in acute malaria patients. Malaria remains a major global public health problem, with more than 200 million clinical cases reported annually. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the degree of thrombocytopenia and the parasite density in confirmed cases of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Method: This research was a descriptive observational study using a cross-sectional design. Clinical hematological examinations and peripheral blood smear preparations were performed on malaria patients, followed by analysis of platelet count, hemoglobin levels, and leukocyte count. Result: Thrombocytopenia, commonly found in acute malaria, was observed in 63.4% of cases, underscoring its key role as a diagnostic biomarker. This study showed significant association between hemoglobin levels and thrombocytopenia severity (p-value < 0.05), whereas leukocyte counts did not show a significant association with thrombocytopenia severity (p-value > 0.05). The degree of thrombocytopenia differed between the two types of malaria, assisting the differentiation of infections. Anemia, another detailed hematological indicator, frequently found in P. falciparum cases. Conclusion: Understanding hematological indicator as key-role of malaria diagnosis is vital for accurate diagnosis and effective management of malaria, especially in endemic regions. Continued research and routine hematological surveillance are crucial to improving malaria control and treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Cholestatic jaundice in infants is a significant healthcare challenge, particularly in regions where access to surgical intervention and liver transplantation is limited. An immunologic mechanism underlies the pathogenesis of biliary atresia leading to fibro-obliteration of the bile ducts. However, the successful management of biliary atresia is often difficult because treatment typically occurs at an advanced stage. Therefore, alternative therapies that can suppress bile duct inflammation are urgently needed. Administering anti-inflammatory drugs such as methylprednisolone to infants in the early stages of cholestasis may provide opportunities to improve outcomes in the limited capacity to perform Kasai surgery and liver transplantation. Purpose: This case report describes the clinical improvement of extrahepatic cholestasis following steroid administration. Case analysis: We report a case of a 24-day-old male infant presenting with clinical symptoms of jaundice and pale stool. Liver biopsy revealed features consistent with extrahepatic obstructive cholestasis characteristic of biliary atresia. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone (a corticosteroid) and ursodeoxycholic acid without surgical intervention. Result: The combination of methylprednisolone and ursodeoxycholic acid normalized liver function tests and led to significant clinical improvement. Both jaundice and pale stools completely resolved within two months of treatment. Conclusion: Steroid therapy may provide clinical benefits for infants with extrahepatic cholestasis, particularly in settings with limited healthcare resources. Steroid administration may play a role in the suppression of the inflammatory process that causes fibrosis and bile duct obliteration in the early stages of the disease.

Abstract

Background: Flat foot is a common lower extremity deformity in children. Underdeveloped arches can lead to complaints such as fatigue during prolonged walking, impaired balance, frequent injuries, and pain. Several interventions can be employed to address these issues, including arch muscle strength exercises, toe curls exercises, calf stretches, and plantar fascia stretches. Purpose: This study aims to prove the effectiveness of a combination of heel raises exercise and vestibular stimulation versus a combination of heel raises exercise and perceptual motor program in increasing lower extremity muscle strength and standing balance in children with flat foot. Method: This research is a quasi-experimental study that utilized a pre-test and post-test two-group design with a purposive sampling method. A total of 30 subjects were put into 2 groups. Group 1 received a combination of heel raise exercises and vestibular stimulation. Group 2 received a combination of heel raise exercise and perceptual motor program. Lower extremity muscle strength was assessed using the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), and standing balance was evaluated using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). Result: Both groups showed differences in the measurement aspects of MMT and PBS (p-value < 0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the groups in the MMT score. In contrast, a significant difference was observed in PBS scores, with Group 2 demonstrating greater improvement (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of heel raises exercise and a perceptual motor program is more effective in improving balance in children with flat foot compared to the combination with vestibular stimulation.

Abstract

Background: Hematological examination is conducted to determine the condition of blood and its components, which are used to establish a diagnosis, support a diagnosis, make a differential diagnosis, monitor disease progression, assess the severity of an illness, and determine the initial prognosis of a disease. Phlebotomy procedures in the pre-analytical stage are not always successful and sometimes encounter failure. Inappropriate anticoagulant administration can lead to erroneous hematological examination results, including Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) examination results. Purpose: This research aims to examine the influence of blood volume and storage duration on the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) value using the Westergren method. Method: The Westergren method utilizes 5 venous blood samples with a ratio of blood volume to 3.8% anticoagulant at 4 : 1, 3 : 1, and 2 : 1, with sample storage durations of 0 and 3 hours at room temperature. Result: The average ESR values with a ratio of 4 : 1, at 0 hours, were 5.20 mm/hour and at 3 hours were 3.60 mm/hour. The average ESR values with a ratio of 3 : 1, at 0 hours, were 6.20 mm/hour and at 3 hours were 4.40 mm/hour. The average ESR values with a ratio of 2 : 1, at 0 hours, were 7.60 mm/hour and at 3 hours were 5.60 mm/hour. Conclusion: There is a significant influence of blood volume (p-value < 0.05) and storage duration (p-value = 0.05) on the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) value using the Westergren method.

Abstract

Background: Malaria is a parasitic infection caused by the Plasmodium genus. Certain Plasmodium species can evade the immune system by sequestering internal organs, including the liver. The ethanolic extract of pearl grass (Hedyotis corymbosa (L.) Lamk) (EEPG) has been reported to have an antimalarial activity in reducing parasitemia and hepatomegaly in Plasmodium berghei ANKA-infected mice. Purpose: To analyze the effect of EEPG administration on the sequestration of P. berghei ANKA-infected erythrocytes in the livers of BALB/c mice. Method: P. berghei ANKA-infected mice were treated with EEPG at doses of 250, 300, and 350 mg/kg BW. The positive and negative control groups received dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHP) 187.2 mg/kgBW and 1% CMCNa, respectively. The treatments were administered for four consecutive days, followed by observation of parasitemia on Giemsa-stained tail blood smears. On day five, mice were sacrificed for liver removal. Sequestrations were observed on HE-stained slides of mouse livers. The differences in sequestration between treatment groups were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Games-howell post-hoc analysis. The correlation between parasitemia and sequestration was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. Result: The percentage reduction of the number of infected erythrocyte sequestration in EEPG-treated groups was 81.74%, 77.72%, and 77.70%, respectively, while the positive control group was 91.14%. Parasitemia was correlated with the number of erythrocytes sequestration (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: EEPG was able to decrease parasitemia along with the decrease in the number of infected erythrocytes sequestration in the liver. These results indicated that EEPG is
