Abstract

ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide (IVTA) 2 mg and Bevacizumab (IVB) 12,5 mg for adjuvant therapy of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)DesignThis was a prospective, randomized clinical trial. Each participants with DME was randomized to received single intravitreal injection of IVTA or IVB  and then being followed until fourth week after injection. The efficacy parameters were the improvement in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in logMAR and Standardized Central Macular Thickness (SCMT) by Optical Coherence Tomography. The safety parameters were the Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) and Posterior Capsular cataract progression using LOCSIII criteria.ResultsTwenty five eyes of 20 participants were randomly assigned to receive IVTA 2 mg (n=12) and IVB (n=13). At 4 weeks, mean BCVA was better in IVTA group than in IVB group -0,39 logMAR (p<0,05). CMT reduction were significant in all visits of both groups. The SCMT showed 78,37%  at final follow-up for IVTA group. There were no statistic significant difference in the mean IOP and posterior capsular cataract changes among two groups. (p>0,05)ConclusionAdjuvant IVTA injections were more effective than IVB injections in patients with DME. However, it was associated with higher increment in IOP, despite not reaching statistical significance.

Abstract

Preterm labor is a multifactorial phenomenon involving inflammatory processes that will affect the balance of Th1 to Th2 by increasing dominance of pro-inflammatory Th1 cytokines and also lead to functional progesterone withdrawal.Progesterone maintains pregnancy mainly by promoting myometrial quiescence and labor is initiated by progesterone withdrawal. Progesterone also has antiinflammatory properties and as an immunomodulator. While it has been postulated that the effect of progesterone on preterm birth is related to its anti-inflammatory properties, the spesific mechanism of action remains unclear.The biological effects of progesterone are mediated by a 34-kDa protein named the progesterone-induced blocking factor (PIBF). PIBF is synthesized by lymphocytes of healthy pregnant women in the presence of progesterone. PIBF inhibits arachidonic acid production, reduced NK cell activity, and modifies the cytokine balance.The objective of this study was to compare serum concentrations of PIBF of women with preterm labor with those women with normal pregnancy. A comparative analytical study with cross-sectional design was conducted. This study consisted of 16 women in each group. All the subjects met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the Dr . Hasan Sadikin hospital and it’s district hospital. This study conducted from July until November 2013. Serum PIBF concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) .Mean PIBF concentrations in serum of patients with preterm labor were significantly lower (391.4051 ± 1021.162 ng/mL ) than in those of normal pregnancy (174.2165 ± 1297.675 ng/mL) with p = 0.029 . It was concluded that the levels of serum PIBF preterm labor is lower than in normal pregnancy.

Abstract

Epilepsi merupakan salah satu kondisi neurologis yang paling sering ditemukan pada ibu hamil, dengan prevalensi 0,5-1%. Telah dilaporkan bahwa sebanyak 12 dari 14 kasus kematian ibu yang terjadi sejak tahun 2009 hingga 2012, diklasifikasikan sebagai sudden unexpected death in epilepsy atau SUDEP dengan kondisi kejang yang tidak terkontrol dengan baik yang merupakan faktor penyebab utama. Perubahan fisiologis selama kehamilan dapat berpengaruh terhadap farmakokinetik dari obat antiepileptik sehingga dapat menimbulkan bangkitan kejang pada wanita dengan epilepsi yang sedang hamil. Angka kejadian fetal loss akibat pengaruh epilepsi atau obat antiepileptik cenderung rendah. Pengaruh obat antiepileptik terhadap kehamilan dapat berakibat pada malformasi kongenital mayor, perkembangan neurokognitif yang terganggu, risiko obstetrik, dan komplikasi perinatal.

Abstract

Background : Pseudocyst of pancreas in pediatric patient is a rare case. Therapy usually conservative, while we wait the wall of the pseudocyst become thick and mature, then followed by internal drainage of jejunum and the pseudocyst. The controversy arise in this case where the external drainage is performed due to feeding trouble with significant decrease of the patient’s body weight after trauma. The purpose of this case report is to give insight that external drainage is possible and should be considered in pediatric patient with pseudocyst of pancreas,  primarily  where the exploratory by laparoscopy is possible and feeding problem becomes the main problem.Case : A 4 year old boy come to ER with chief complain pain at the gastric region after blunt abdominal trauma 12 hours before admission. Primary survey was normal with stabile hemodynamic. At first admission, the physician found abdominal distention with tenderness and rebound tenderness without muscular rigidity. In bed-site abdominal USG free fluid was found without abnormality at the solid nor hollow organs.  Abdominal CT showed no active bleeding nor abnormality. After 1 week of inpatient care, feeding (even fluid by oral feeding)becomes a constant problem and abdominal distention is increasing.Therapy : Exploratory by laparoscopic of the abdomen cannot be conducted due to inadequate instruments, then exploratory laparotomy was chosen. Pseudocyst of pancreas was found, 5x4 cm in size with hematoma at the tail of pancreas. External drainage was performed. After the operation the patient dramatically improved, he could tolerate both fluid and solid diet. The patient discharged 4 days after the operation. 3 months after the 1st operation, the patient come with good condition and minimal fluid come from the drain, so the drain was pulled out. Internal drainage was not needed in this case.Conclusion : External drainage could be considered in pediatric patient with pseudocyst of the pancreas if the feeding problem becomes prominent and the laparoscopic instrument is available.

Abstract

Neuralgia trigeminal is unilateral, chronic and recurring facial pain syndromes, in which pain is distributed following trigeminal nerve branches and is commonly found in healthcare practice. The prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia is 4,3 / 100.000 case worldwide. As a facial pain syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia is well-known for reducing quality of life of its sufferers, hence the etiology, pathophysiology, and the management of trigeminal neuralgia are important to be recognized in daily clinical practice.
