Abstract

Background: Colorectal adenocarcinoma is one of the most common types of colorectal cancer based on histopathology, accounting for about 10% of cancer cases diagnosed worldwide each year. Tumor size and levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are used to determine the presence and evaluation of colorectal cancer. However, studies on the correlation between the size of colorectal cancer based on CT scan abdominal with contrast and the CEA levels are still very minimal in the Indonesian population. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between tumor size examined by abdominal CT scan with contrast and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma patients.Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the radiology department, Dr. Moewardi hospital, Surakarta, from February 2021 to July 2021. A total of 40 patients with stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma were selected in this study. The patient already had the examination results of blood CEA levels and performed an abdominal CT scan with contrast. The dependent variable was blood CEA levels. The independent variable was tumor size. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed by the Spearman test.Results: There was a positive and significant relationship between tumor size and CEA levels (r= 0.47; p= 0.003).Conclusion: Tumor size is positively correlated to blood CEA levels in patients with stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma.Keywords: colorectal adenocarcinoma, contrast abdominal CT scan, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).Correspondence: Sulistyani Kusumaningrum.

Abstract

Background: Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) is a separation that occurs in the abdominal muscles, namely between the two rectus abdominis muscles. This separation is precisely in the linea alba which is the midline of the abdomen. DRA is characterized by two things, namely the widening of the inter-recti distance (IRD) and the appearance of a bulge in the abdomen. This is due to stretching and weakness of the linea alba. This study aims to analyze the effect of core stability exercise on reducing diastasis recti abdominis in normal postpartum mothers based on the results of a number of previous primary studies.Subjects and Method: This study uses a meta-analysis method with articles searched using the search keywords "Core stability exercise" AND "diastasis recti abdominis" OR "normal post partum" OR "caliper" OR "ultrasonography" OR "Randomized Controlled Trial" OR "RCT" from PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus and processed using RevMan 5.3.Results: 9 RCT articles that fit into the inclusion criteria, with a total of 319 samples. Normal post­partum mothers with diastasis recti abdominis who received core stability exercise had an average caliper score of 4.71 units lower than those without core stability exercise, and the effect was statistically significant (SMD= -4.71; 95% CI -8.05 to -1.37; p= 0.060). Normal postpartum mothers with diastasis recti abdominis who received core stability exercise had an average ultrasound score of 0.80 units lower than those without core stability exercise, and the effect was statistically significant (SMD= -0.80; 95% CI -1.62 to 0.02; p= 0.060). In other words, core stability exercise is effective in reducing diastasis recti abdominis in normal postpartum mothers.Conclusion: Core stability exercise has an effect on reducing diastasis recti abdominis in mothers after normal delivery.Keywords: post partum, diastasis recti abdominis, core stability exercise, calipers, ultrasoundCorrespondence: Feny Oktaviyani.

Abstract

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a malignant tumor located in the nasopharynx, which can be treated by Cisplatin, a chemotherapy that has a side effect of increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that can damage the liver. We aim to determine the effect of giving Mahkota Dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa) as an antioxidant on liver function of NPC patients receiving Cisplatin chemotherapy. Subjects and Method: Forty subjects of stage III and IV Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma patients were divided into treatment and control groups. Subjects will be tested for SGOT SGPT before cisplatin chemotherapy. The treatment group was given Phaleria macrocarpa capsules 300 mg/24 hours for 5 weeks since a week before chemotherapy. The control group was given placebo capsules/24 hours for 5 weeks since a week before chemotherapy. The patients received two series of cisplatin chemotherapy with an interval of 3 weeks, then a second blood sample was taken 1 week after the second series of cisplatin chemotherapy.Results: There was a significant difference in SGOT levels in the post-treatment group of Phaleria macrocarpa and control, as well as the difference in the pre- and post- treatment group between the Phaleria macrocarpa and control groups. Also, there was a significant difference in SGPT levels in the pre- and post- treatment in the Phaleria macrocarpa and control groups.Conclusion: The administration of Phaleria macrocarpa has an effect on decreasing the levels of SGOT and SGPT in NPC patients receiving Cisplatin chemotherapy therapyKeywords: Phaleria macrocarpa, SGOT, SGPT, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, CisplatinCorrespondence: Adi Januar Akbar.

Abstract

Background: Thoracal spinal canal stenosis (SCS) that refers to multiple segments of the thoracic spine is a peculiar clinical condition. Various factors can cause thoracic SCS, including ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF). The aim of this study is to explain about the diagnosis for multiple segment thoracal spinal canal stenosis and management properly to prevent further complications.Case Presentation: A 58-year-old male came to Orthopaedic Outpatient Clinic in Prof. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Hospital, complaining back pain since one year prior to admission. Pain aggravated when he was bending his back. The patient was diagnosed with Thoracal Spinal Canal Stenosis Th 8-9, Th9-10, Th10-11. Patient underwent decompression, stabilization, fusion and biopsy surgery.Results: Patient underwent decompression, stabilization, fusion and biopsy surgery at RSUP Prof. I.G.N.G Ngoerah. In durante operation, already done laminectomy and eight pieces of pedicle screw was applied in Th8-Th11 (55mm x 40 mm Monoaxial on right side Th8, 55mm x 40 mm Polyaxial on left side Th8; 55mm x 40 mm Monoaxial on right side Th9, 55mm x 35 mm Monoaxial on left side Th9; 55mm x 40 mm Monoaxial on right and left side Th10; 55mm x 40 mm Monoaxial on right and left side Th11). There were no complications found in this patient after 4th day following surgery.Conclusion: The goal of surgical intervention for SCS is decompression by removing the calcific areas that are responsible for the spinal canal narrowing and subsequent cord compression. Although the diagnosis and choice of intervention can be difficult, early detection and management are critical to postoperative success. Postoperative results are variable and often unsatisfactory.Keywords: Spinal canal stenosis, ligamentum flavum, spine, surgeryCorrespondence: I Gusti Lanang Ngurah Artha Wiguna.

Abstract

Background:  The choice of cesarean section continues to increase in the world and is expected to continue to increase over the coming decades, which is almost a third of all deliveries in 2030. The benefits of dates for improving labor processes are considered to increase vaginal deliveries and also reduce the frequency of cesarean sections with the aim of reducing bigger complications. This study aims to analyze and estimate the influence of the consumption of dates on labor outcomes.Subjects and Method:  This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with PICO, P: Pregnant women, I: consumption of dates, C: No consumption dates, O: Bishop's score, length of labor, and postpartum hemorrhage. Data collection was obtained from databases, namely: PubMed, Science Direct, Springer Link, and Google Scholar. Keywords used “date fruit” OR “date palm” OR “phoenix dactylifera” AND “labor” AND “delivery”, AND “oxytocin” AND “hemorrhage”. The inclusion criteria used were full papers in English with the design of randomized controlled trials in 20002022. This study was analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:  Meta-analysis was conducted on 4 primary studies from several countries such as Iran, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia with a sample size of 603 pregnant women. The meta-analysis concluded that there was an effect of date consumption on cervical dilatation upon admission to the hospital (SMD= 0.73; CI 95%= 0.09 to 1.38; p=0.030). Consumption of dates also has an effect on the duration of active 1st stage labor (SMD= 0.46; CI 95%= 0.82 to 0.09; p= 0.010). Consumption of dates has a weak effect on the length of stage II labor (SMD= 0.05; 95% CI= 0.88 to 0.78; p= 0.910). In addition, the consumption of dates also has a weak effect on the length of stage III labor (SMD=0.16; CI95%=0.46 to 0.79; p=0.610).Conclusion:  Consumption of dates has an influence on labor outcomes.Keywords:  phoenix dactylifera, dates, labor, postpartum hemorrhage, Bishop scoreCorrespondence: Ratna Purwani Siwi.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a new disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 became a pandemic disease that killed 4 million people for almost 2 years. COVID-19 patients with comorbidities or risk factors are more prone to have a worse prognosis, one of which is heart disease which can be checked through troponin I values. This study aimed to determine the relationship between troponin I levels and mortality in patients with COVID-19.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching for articles from databases such as Science Direct, Springer, Google Scholar, and PubMed using the keywords: troponin I, cohort, fatality, cardiac biomarker, death, coronavirus, COVID-19 mortality, and COVID-19. Ten accredited articles published between 2019-2021 were included for meta-analysis. The subjects of this study were 10,499 COVID-19 patients. The intervention in this study was high troponin I levels, while the comparison was normal troponin I levels. The outcome of this study is mortality in COVID-19 patients. Data processing using Review Manager software version 5.3 for the relationship between troponin I levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients.Results: From a meta-analysis of 10 primary research articles in China, Spain, New York (United States), France, Turkey, and Philadelphia (United States) showed an association between high troponin I levels and an increased risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients (aOR= 3.07; 95% CI= 1.68 to 5.61; p<0.003).Conclusion: High troponin I levels increase the risk of mortality in COVID-19 patients.Keywords: troponin I, heart disease, mortality, COVID-19.Correspondence: Hesthi Krisnawati.
