Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis infections are endemic diseases in Asian countries. Although the incidence is rare, tuberculous spondylitis manifests as a severe and life-threatening disease. This study aims to correlate the abnormal result of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings. Subjects and Method: MR imaging of 60 patients with characteristics of spinal tuberculosis in 4-year 5 month period (January 2019 – May 2023) from Siloam Lippo Village is retrospectively analyzed and reviewed. Data were collected from Infinitt PACS and analyzed by SPSS. Dependent variables in this study are clinical suspicion for tuberculosis infection, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and tuberculosis infection in different organs. Meanwhile, the independent variables in this study are multilevel vertebral involvement, multilevel disc involvement, abscess formation, and myelopathy. Results: Association with elevated ESR (erytrocyte sedymentation rate) are seen in 11 out of 31 patients aged >40 (OR=0.45; CI 95%= 0.16 to 1.26; p=0.120), 19 out of 37 patients with clinically suspected for tuberculosis infection (OR=1.98; CI 95% 0.68 to 5.78; p=0.210); 27 out of 55 patients with multilevel vertebral body involvement (OR=0.8; CI 95%= 0.12 to 5.17); p=1); 13 out of 30 patients with intervertebral disc involvement (OR=0.87; CI 95% 0.32 –to2.42); p=0.8); 20 out of 50 patients with abscess formation(OR=0.29; CI 95%=0.66 to 1.24; p=0.08); 5 out of 12 patients with tuberculosis infection on other organs(OR=0.84; CI 95%=0.24 – 3.04; p=0.8); and 5 out of 6 patients with myelopathy(OR=7.3; CI95%=0.79 TO 66.6; p=0.04). Conclusion: MR has an important role in detecting extrapulmonary tuberculosis lesions, especially in the spine. Elevated ESR results play important roles for physicians in identifying patients with the possibility of spondylitis TB.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects the movement and posture of the brain of a developing fetus or baby. The prevalence is around 1-4 per 1000 live births globally, with 9 birth cases in Indonesia. CP children experience various sensory and motor disorders. Various interventions require a tool that can reliably detect the success of therapy. Electromyography (EMG) is an objective method for understanding muscle activity, helps in determining the muscles involved in movement, and provides related information about muscle activity in response to therapy. This study aimed to determine EMG in evaluating the results of therapy. Subjects and Method: A literature search was carried out using 2 databases, namely PubMed and Google Scholar regarding the use of EMG to assess or analyze physiotherapy interventions given to children with CP from the period 2018 - 2023. Using PRISMA as a writing rule. Results: 8 studies described the use of EMG in physiotherapy, 3 articles looked at muscle activity, 3 articles assessed muscle activation, 1 article assessed spastic responses, and 1 article looked at motor neuron excitatory pools. Conclusion: EMG helps physiotherapy in seeing muscle activity, muscle activation, seeing the spastic response of a muscle, and measuring the collection of excitatory motor neurons.

Abstract

Background: Gastric cancer is the third highest cancer mortality globally. This malignancy can result in emergency complications such as gastric perforation which results in pneumo­peritoneum. Currently, there are not many case reports which describe pneumoperitoneum in gastric cancer. In this report, we describe a gastric adenocarcinoma with pneumoperitoneum following jejunostomy feeding. Case Presentation: A 54 years old male presented with abdominal pain, black-colored feces, and body weight decrease as much as 22 kg within a month. The physical examination revealed anemic conjunctiva, distended abdomen with abdominal pain, and pale skin. On the lab examination, the hemoglobin level was 9.9 mg/dL. The peripheral blood smear showed signs of iron deficiency anemia caused by chronic process. An endoscopic examination and biopsy showed a gastric mass with well-moderately differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. The three positions abdominal x-ray incidentally found that the patient had pneumoperitoneum. Results: Patient was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma Gaster based on a gastric mass biopsy with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Then, the patient was treated with jejunostomy feeding. Thoracic and 3-position abdominal X-ray examinations revealed incidental findings of pneumoperitoneum and small bowel obstruction. Conclusion: Jejunostomy feeding in gastric cancer patient may result in pneumoperitoneum as a complication. Gastric adenocarcinoma followed by iron deficiency anemia from chronic process post jejunostomy feeding was found with pneumoperitoneum complication.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhoea, is common in young women worldwide under 25 years old. Elevated levels of prostaglandins in menstrual fluid induce contractions in the myometrium, leading to a decrease in uterine blood flow and resulting in uterine hypoxia. This hypoxia is the underlying cause of the painful cramping observed in primary dysmenorrhea. Massage is a non-pharmaceutical therapy that is hypothesized to be easily adoptable, with no side effects, and to have beneficial effects on pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of effluerage massage in reducing menstrual pain in female students. Subjects and Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Junior High School 23 of Surakarta in July 2023. Total sample of 50 2nd grade female student was selected by purposive sampling and divided into two groups. Intervention  group received effluerage massage and control group received usual care. The dependent variable was menstrual pain. The independent variable was effleurage massage. Menstrual pain was measured using Numeric Ranting Scale (NRS). Pain difference between groups after intervention was examined using independent t test. Results: At the 6th follow-up period, the mean of menstrual pain score in the effleurage massage group (Mean 3.52; SD= 1.01) was significantly lower compared to the control group (Mean= 4.40; SD= 0.76), with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: Effleurage massage is effective to reduce menstrual pain in Junior High School female students. Keywords: effleurage massage, primary dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain, female adolescents

Abstract

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease is one of the deadliest diseases in the world with a high prevalence. Hemodialysis is believed to increase the survival of chronic kidney disease patients. This study aims to analyze the relationship between condition factors in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis and erythropoietin stimulating agent therapy with hemoglobin levels. Subjects and Method: This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design carried out at the Madiun City Regional Hospital. Data was taken from June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022. The population in this study were patients who received hemodialysis services and erythropoietin stimulating agent therapy. The sample was 101 patients with total sampling technique. The independent variables in this study are age, gender, duration of hemodialysis, while the dependent variable is hemoglobin level. Data collection techniques were carried out using patient medical record data. Data analysis used multiple linear regression with Stata 17. Results: The results of multiple linear regression analysis of the relationship between duration of hemodialysis, gender, age, hemoglobin levels before and hemoglobin levels after chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis with erythropoietin stimulating agent therapy show that every 1 month increase in hemodialysis will be followed by an increase in hemoglobin of 0.02g/dL (b =0.02 CI95% 0.01 to 0.03 p=0.018). Every 1g/dL increase in hemoglobin levels before hemodialysis will be followed by hemoglobin levels after hemodialysis of 0.7 g/dL (b=0.7 CI 95% 0.6 to 0.8 p<0.001). Gender (b=-0.06 CI 95% -0.7 to 0.6 p=0.857). Age (b=-0.01 CI 95% -0.03 to 0.03 p=0.833). Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between the duration of hemodialysis and hemoglobin levels after chronic kidney disease patients undergo hemodialysis with erythropoietin stimulating agent therapy. There is no statistically significant difference between men and women, age in hemoglobin levels after undergoing hemodialysis with erythropoietin stimulating agent therapy in patients with chronic renal failure.
