Abstract

Background: The most frequent primary malignant bone tumor in children is osteosarcoma. Patients with osteosarcoma are currently treated with a combination of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy as well as surgery, either limb-sparing surgery or limb-ablation surgery. How to manage the remaining bone growth during the limb-sparing procedure in youngsters is one of the challenges. Unfortunately, amputation is still many perform for OS patients. The purpose of this study was to inform and educate doctors about the value of early OS diagnosis and treatment in pediatric patients.Case Presentation: We presented case from a male 16 years old Balinese complaint of pain on her left knee 12 months ago. The pain was continuous and got worse at night. The patient went to a traditional masseuse and was given topical herbal ointment. Three months later, a lump appeared on her knee at the size of a small ball and getting bigger. We did a review slide of the previous biopsy sample by the pathology of anatomy in our hospital. The result came out as osteosarcoma with osteoblastic cells. We performed to amputated the limb-affected tumor following wound care routinely controlled.Results: Intraoperatively, we performed wide excision, without patellar tendon, medial collateral ligament, and cruciate ligament preserve. We amputated the limb-affected tumor. The patient routinely controlled to our outpatient clinic every week. Unfortunately, the patient was died after 3 weeks of admission.Conclusion: To reduce the risk of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of osteosarcoma, every source of knee pain with a mass in pediatric age groups should be thoroughly explored with a high index of suspicion for malignant lesions. Therefore, amputation is a cutting-edge osteosarcoma treatment that can be avoided if the patient can be identified early and treated quickly in pediatric oncology malignant instances.Keywords: osteosarcoma, long bone, diagnosis, tibia, pediatricCorrespondence: Komang Septian Sandiwidayat.

Abstract

Background: Recovery and long-term remission are the goals of treatment for substance use disorders. Though there are many pathways to recovery, the alcoholic/narcotic anonymous program is widely recommended for people with addiction as an adjunct to professional treatment services. However, not many studies reviewed the outcome resulting from alcoholic/ narcotic anonymous programs. This study aimed to systematically review the outcome of alcoholic/ narcotic anonymous programs. Subjects and Method: This article was a systematic review study conducted by searching for articles from online databases such as EBSCO, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. PICO: 1) Populations: alcohol addict or illegal drug abuser who is a member or ever joined the alcohol or narcotic anonymous program; 2) Intervention: alcohol or narcotic anonymous program; 3) Comparison: alcohol or narcotic addict or illegal drug abuser who is not the member or never join the alcohol or narcotic anonymous program or etc; 4) Outcome: a variety of outcomes such as reduce of drinking. The dependent variable is the outcome of AA programs. The inclusion criteria for this study were full articles using an observational or experimental study, with the publication year from 2000 until 31st May 2023. The data extraction was focused on the relationship between AA/NA program with the outcome resulting and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews. Results: A total of 9 articles reviewed in this study were from USA and UK. Six studies reported there is a significant relationship between attendance at the AA/ NA program with the increase in days of abstinence. Two studies explained that attending the AA/ NA program could lower the amount and frequency of illegal drug use. Only one study discussed that the AA/NA program could also lessen the depression that addiction causes. Conclusion: Our review suggested that attending the AA/ NA program has benefits such as abstinence, reduced frequency or amount of substance intake, and a reduction in depression or problems brought on by using illegal substances. Keywords: abstinence, alcoholic anonymous, alcoholism, narcotic anonymous, outcome. Correspondence: Nadya Puspita Adriana. Universitas Kusuma Husada.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of autoimmune diseases and major chronic allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis are increasing in line with the occurrence of climate change. Allergy and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are sometimes being linked since both are immune diseases involving gene-environment interactions. The purpose of this research is to investigate the correlation between allergic diseases and SLE.Method: This case-control study was performed on 39 SLE subjects from the Tittari Community and 39 non-SLE subjects aged 15-49 years old, from September until October 2021. All of them were females. The independent variable was allergic disease and the dependent variable was SLE. Partici­pants' characteristics and allergy data were collected through answering the online Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) questionnaire, then the results were processed with bivariate and multivariate analyses.Results: The correlation between allergic diseases and SLE was significant for atopic dermatitis but not for allergic rhinitis and asthma (p=0.018; p=0.352; p=0.151 respectively). The bivariate analysis revealed that the risk of SLE was 3.17 times higher in atopic dermatitis patients (OR=3.17; 95% CI=1.20-8.39; p=0.018). Furthermore, the multivariate analysis found that subjects with atopic dermatitis had the highest risk of SLE (OR= 3.18; 95% CI= 1.07-9.51; p=0.031).Conclusion: Among allergic diseases, atopic dermatitis was found to be significantly correlated with SLE, where the risk of SLE was raised as the number of atopic dermatitis increased.Keywords: systemic lupus erythematosus, allergic diseases, allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitisCorrespondence: Dewi Pratiwi.

Abstract

Background: The relationship between sleep quality and sleep quantity is very close and has a significant impact on a person's sleep needs. If someone does not get enough sleep, then this will have an impact on the quality of their sleep, and vice versa. Therefore, maintaining a good quality of sleep is very important to maintain a healthy body and improve quality of life. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on sleep quality in insomnia patients. Subjects and Method: This study is a meta-analysis with PICO. Population: insomnia patients. Intervention: given cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Comparison: not given cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Outcome: sleep quality. The articles used in this study were obtained from five databases, namely PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The keywords used to search for articles use the medical subject heading (MeSH) term and the emtree of the keywords "Insomnia" AND "Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia" AND "Sleep Quality". The articles used were full text in English from 2013 to 2023. Articles were selected using the 2021 PRISMA flowchart and analyzed using the RevMan 5.3 application. Results: A total of 10 randomized controlled trial study articles came from Iran, Canada, Spain, Texas, Korea, Kansas and the United States. The total sample size is 473 research subjects. Based on the analysis, insomnia patients who were given CBT-I therapy showed an average PSQI score of 1.88 units lower than those not given CBT-I (placebo), and the difference was statistically significant (SMD = -1.88; 95% CI = -2.55 to -1.22; p<0.001). Then insomnia patients who were given CBT-I showed an average PSQI score of 0.52 units lower than those given other insomnia therapies, and the difference was statistically significant (SMD= -0.52; 95% CI= -0.77 to -0.28; p <0.001) . Then when viewed as a whole, it shows that insomnia patients who are given CBT-I therapy on average have or show a PSQI score of 0.78 units lower than other therapies and without CBT-I therapy (placebo), and this difference is statistically significant (SMD= -0.78; 95% CI= -1.13 to -0.42; p < 0.001). Conclusion:  Cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can improve sleep quality in insomnia patients (decrease the PSQI score).

Abstract

Background: Children with Autism tend to experience gastrointestinal disorders more often. Interactions between the gut and brain microbiome influence mood and behavior in health and disease. Diet therapy, specifically the gluten and case-free diet (GFCF) is an elimination diet that involves removing certain proteins from the normal diet, such as gluten and casein. The right intervention can change behavior for the better and through the right handling. This study aims to estimate the effect of a case-free gluten-free diet on maladaptive behavior in autistic children, through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors. Subjects and Method:  This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: Autism children, intervention: gluten-free case-free diet, comparison: no case-free gluten-free diet, outcome: maladaptive behavior. The articles used in this study were obtained from three databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, using the search key “Diet Gluten Free Casein Free” OR “NonDiet Gluten Free Casein Free” OR “GFCF” AND “Autism” OR “Autism” AND “Maladaptive” AND “Randomize Controlled Trial” OR “RCT”. The included article is a full-text Randomized Controlled Trial study designed from 2002 to 2022 and reports the mean and SD in multivariate analysis. The selection of articles is done using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. Results:  A total of 7 randomized controlled trial studies conducted in the Americas, Europe, and Asia were selected for meta-analysis. Autistic children who received casein-free gluten-free had an average score of 0.11 units of maladaptive behavior lower than those who were not given a diet (SMD= 0.11 95% CI= .035 to 0.13; p= 0.360). Conclusion:  The casein-free gluten-free diet has an effect on reducing the risk of maladaptive behavior in children with autism.

Abstract

Background: Tibial shaft fractures including open tibial fractures grade III are one of the most common fractures of long bones. There are many methods of conservative and operative treatment, one of them is external fixation. External fixation is more common used temporary in polytraumatized patients with tibial shaft fractures. The study was undertaken to see if the patient can be treated with external fixation as the definitive treatment and evaluate the functional outcome after the treatment.Subjects and Method: A retrospective review of a prospectively-collected database was performed. Data was taken from the Orthopaedic Department of RSUD Dr. Moewardi Hospital patients’ database. The study included all patients who underwent grade III open tibial fracture treatment from May 2018 to May 2019. A total of 8 patients who were included in our study were a patient with open tibial fractures grade III planned for external fixaton as definitive treatment. They were evaluated radiographically and clinically to determine the union rate. The data were reported descriptively.Results: External fixator time ranged in this study around 240 days. In this study, there were a few patients whose progress were remain unknown due to loss of contact. Fractures studied 5 out of 8, no patient were union after 8 months of external fixator used. 4 out of 8 patients were reported non-union after 8 months based on their radiological examination (50%) and 1 out of 8 patients were reported has been performed Removal of External Fixation (ROEF) after 5 months of treatment. The rest of the 3 patients’ results were remain unknown.Conclusion: Open tibial fractures grade III  of the leg can be managed with use of external fixator as a definitive treatment. However, the use of external fixation does not provide maximum results in grade III A tibial fractures.Keywords: open tibial fractures, external fixation, union, malunionCorrespondence: Bintang Soetjahjo.
