Abstract

Trigger finger, also known as stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, is a common hand disorder that impairs daily function due to painful locking and restricted motion of the affected digit. This study aimed to review and synthesize recent evidence on the definition, epidemiology, etiology and risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnostic approach, differential diagnosis, complication, and management of trigger finger in order to identify the most effective treatment strategies. A narrative literature review was conducted by searching PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for articles published within the last 10 years, focusing on both conservative and surgical interventions. The findings indicate that trigger finger is more prevalent in women and patients with diabetes, with corticosteroid injections and splinting showing variable but significant short‑term improvement, while surgical release particularly open A1 pulley release demonstrates consistently high long‑term success rates. In conclusion, trigger finger remains a prevalent condition with substantial functional impact, and treatment should be individualized based on patient comorbidities and severity of symptoms. It is recommended that clinicians adopt a stepwise approach, beginning with conservative management and progressing to minimally invasive surgical release when necessary. Recent futures have shown that ultrasound guidance in corticosteroid injection techniques as well as in percutaneous release offers promising results with minimal complications.

Abstract

Chicken meat constitutes a significant source of animal protein in the Indonesian diet; however, its perishable nature results in a decline in quality during storage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical characteristics of chicken meat coated with gelatin-basil leaf extract during cold storage. The present study employed a randomized experiment, incorporating three distinct treatments and five replicates. The treatments comprised cold storage duration (0, 3, and 6 days). The results demonstrated a significant effect (p<0.01) on the pH value, moisture content, water-binding capacity, and L a b color of chicken meat coated with chicken foot gelatin-basil leaf extract. The utilization of gelatin-basil leaf extract coating has been demonstrated to retard the decline in pH and moisture content, thereby preserving the water-binding capacity of chicken meat. Despite the decline in pH and color over time, the efficacy of the coating in preserving the quality of chicken meat, particularly during the initial storage phase, was demonstrated. The gelatin-basil leaf extract coating has been shown to contribute significantly to the prolongation of the freshness of chicken meat by slowing down the acidification and oxidation processes.

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

Fruit trash is a waste product that is typically dumped in the open without any additional handling, which can lead to illness, contamination of the air and water, and other issues. This study aims to analyze the effect and determine the right dose of using liquid organic fertilizer from rotten fruit on the growth of plant of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.). This study was an experimental with a randomized design (CRD). There were 5 treatments, namely P0 (control/using 1000 mL water), P3 (300 mL LOF + 700 mL water or 30% concentration), P6 (600 mL LOF + 400 mL water or 60% concentration), P9: 900 mL LOF + 100 mL water or 90% concentration, and P12 (1200 mL liquid organic fertilizer or 100% concentration). Vegetative development (stem height, leaf area, and number of leaves) and generative growth (fruit fresh weight) were among the measurement criteria. The statistical test (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data at a significance level of 0.05. The outcome shown that the growth of cayenne pepper was considerably impacted by the usage of rotting fruit LOF. Following additional testing using the least significant difference test (LSD), the study's findings indicated that 60% (P6) of rotten fruit LOF was the ideal dosage for cayenne pepper's vegetative and generative growth, with an average plant stem height of 35.10 cm, leaf area of 53.90 cm2, number of leaves of 37 strands, and fresh fruit weight of 55.35 grams.

Abstract

The Suranadi Nature Tourism Park, a rather well-known location in West Lombok Regency, is one of the conservation places that the NTB administration is presently working on. Up until now, the Suranadi Nature Tourism Park region has been managed primarily with the goal of maintaining the territory's worth and purpose. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to determine the form and level of community participation in the management of the Suranadi Nature Tourism Park starting from the planning, implementation, to evaluation stages and to understand the factors that encourage the community to participate in the management of the Suranadi Nature Tourism Park. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, then tested the hypothesis, namely with the t-statistical test (t-test) and the F-test. According to the study's findings, there are three stages to the community's involvement in the management of Suranadi Nature Tourism Park: the planning stage, wherein community ideas and opinions are incorporated; the implementation stage, wherein involvement is split into two categories: labor and skill participation and property/investment participation; and the evaluation stage. With a score of 204, the degree of community involvement in the planning, execution, and assessment phases falls into the moderate range. According to the regression model derived for the elements impacting community engagement in Suranadi Nature Tourism Park management, it is separated into two categories: internal factors. Of these, income level, location distance, and employment account for 32.1% of the factors influencing community participation.

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

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.

Abstract

Cor pulmonale refers to a condition affecting the right ventricle of the heart due to increased pulmonary pressure causing dilation or hypertrophy. This article was compiled using a literature review method. This disorder can manifest acutely, often triggered by a massive pulmonary embolism, severe pneumonia, or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), or chronically, usually caused by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, sleep apnea, or obesity-related hypoventilation syndrome. The primary cause is a disturbance in ventilation-perfusion balance that progresses to pulmonary hypertension. Symptoms usually appear in the advanced stages and include shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, fainting with exertion, chest discomfort, abdominal swelling, lower extremity edema, wheezing, and coughing. Diagnostic evaluation includes chest radiography, computed tomography (CT scan), electrocardiography (ECG), and cardiac catheterization, the latter being the definitive method. Treatment strategies aim to correct hypoxemia, relieve right ventricular strain, and address the underlying cause of the condition.

Abstract

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a group of monogenic genetic disorders that cause diabetes with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, generally appearing before the age of 25. MODY is caused by gene mutations affecting pancreatic beta cell function, with 14 genetic subtypes identified. Diagnosis is often delayed or incorrect, as symptoms resemble type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The diagnosis of MODY is diagnosed through family history, clinical examination, and genetic analysis. MODY treatment is tailored to the genetic subtype, including lifestyle changes, sulfonylureas, and insulin, is tailored to the genetic subtype. Prognosis and risk of complications vary depending on the subtype, with MODY 2 (GCK) having the best prognosis. Prevention includes genetic testing for individuals with a family history of MODY, as well as lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of complications. Patient education is important to ensure optimal management and prevention of long-term complications. This journal aims to learn more about the following definitions, to prognosis and education of MODY.

Abstract

The Ranggawulung Urban Forest represents a critical green open space with substantial potential for biodiversity conservation within an urban context. This study aims to characterize the vegetation community structure and assess the conservation status of recorded plant species. Vegetation inventory was conducted using a quantitative approach based on growth stages at two sites: the Urban Forest Block and the Camping Ground Area. The analyses included the Important Value Index (IVI), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’), Margalef spesies richness index (Dmg), and evenness index (E). The analysis of species composition and structure revealed distinct patterns in the distribution of the IVI across locations and growth stages. Swietenia mahagoni demonstrated the highest IVI at the seedling growth stage within the urban forest block, as well as at the tree growth stage within the camping ground area. In contrast, within the urban forest block, Maesopsis eminii exhibited the highest IVI at the tree growth stage. Furthermore, in the camping ground area, Cyperus rotundus attained the highest IVI at the seedling and understory vegetation strata. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) in Ranggawulung Urban Forest indicates that the seedling and understory vegetation strata exhibit higher species diversity compared to the tree strata. The highest H’ value was recorded in the seedling and understory vegetation of the camping ground area (3.5), whereas the lowest was observed in the tree stratum of the camping ground (2.83). The species richness index (Dmg) displayed a similar pattern, with the highest value found in the seedling and understory vegetation of the camping ground (10.42) and the lowest in the tree stratum of the urban forest block (5.22). Meanwhile, the evenness index (E) was relatively high across all categories, peaking in the tree stratum of the urban forest block (0.93), indicating the most balanced distribution of individuals among species in this category. Four species were classified as thteatened acording to the IUCN Red List and CITES Appendices. These findings fulfill the study objectives and underscore the ecological value of the Ranggawulung Urban Forest as a biodiversity refuge, highlighting the need for sustained conservation actions and ecologically informed urban forest management.
