Abstract

Background: H. Pylori cause one of the most common human infections, being present in the gastric mucosa of more than a half of the world population. H. pylori infection can be detected by testing antibodies (IgA and IgG) in serum or saliva. Platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of abnormalities associated with local or systemic inflammation through the release of thrombotic and inflammatory agents. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) has long been known as a marker of inflammation and this role has been shown previously in various gastrointestinal disorders. Platelet distribution width (PDW) is a platelet index that reflects variations in platelet size.Methods: Thirty-two consecutive dyspepsia patient who fulfilled the criteria were included. Platelet levels, MPV, PDW, are promising in each patient. We changed the differences in platelets, MPV, PDW patients, dyspepsia with positif and negatif H. pylori infection. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 for windows.Results: Most of respondents were females (71.9%) and 56±17.45 years old for the average age. The mean of hemoglobin level was 13.47±1.59 g/dL, followed by 11,33±1,71 fL for MPV, 10,7±0,75fL for PDW, and positif H.pylori infection in 56,3% of respondents. There were no differences in platelets, MPV, PDW significantly between the population groups of H. pylori positif and H. pylori negatif (P>0.05)Conclusion: There were no differences in platelets, MPV, PDW significantly between the population group H. pylori positif and H. pylori negatif.

Abstract

Background: The homeostatic assessment (HOMA) of the first cell-β (B) and insulin (IR) function is used to determine insulin sensitivity and cell-β function of insulin plasma concentrations and fasting glucose. High extracellular glucose levels will trigger an increase in ROS production (which in turn will increase the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species) expression of TNF α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-α) and exacerbate oxidative stress. The study aimed to determine the relationship between TNF α and HOMA-IR in type 2 DM.Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at the H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan from December-February 2018 in 43 patients with type 2 DM. Fasting insulin levels were examined using Celuminescence Microparticle Immunoassay and fasting glucose levels with Enzymatic and TNF α methods with the Elisa method. The relationship of the characteristics of TNF α levels with HOMA-IR in type 2 DM using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test used the Spearman's rank correlation test with SPSS version 20 for windows.Results: The total sample was 43 samples of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Most of the respondents were male (62.8%) and had a median age of 57 (39-87) years. In this study, the TNF-alpha levels were 87.28 (18.43-846.05) pg/ml. While the HOMA-IR level was 3.36 (0.41-25.82). There was no significant correlation between serum TNF α levels and HOMA-IR in type 2 DM patients (P> 0.05).Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between TNF α levels and HOMA-IR in type 2 DM patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is a disease which has a fairly high morbidity and mortality caused by the cessation of blood supply to the brain. The most common risk factor for stroke is high blood pressure or hypertension. In patients with hypertension, blood vessel damage can be occured which triggers thrombosis and atherosclerosis, leads to non hemorrhagic stroke and also weak and thin blood vessels with aneurysms can be found that induce hemorrhagic stroke. This study aimed to determine the relationship of hypertension and stroke in patients at the Neurology Clinic in Sanglah General Hospital, DenpasarMethod: This study was a cross-sectional study involving 100 patients. Secondary data were taken from the medical records of hypertensive and/or stroke patients in the Neurology Clinic of Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar, from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018.Result: The results of bivariate analysis showed a strong and significant relationship between hypertension and stroke (PR = 2.37; 95% CI PR: 1.03 – 8.21; p = 0.04). There was a significant relationship between hypertension and stroke after being controlled by confounding variables (β = 1,267; odds ratio = 3,549; 95% CI: 10,801 - 1,166; p = 0,026). Diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, arrhythmia, smoking, obesity did not have a significant relationship with stroke.Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between hypertension and stroke in patients at the Neurology Clinic in Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar. Latar Belakang: Stroke adalah sebuah penyakit yang memiliki morbiditas dan mortalitas cukup tinggi yang diakibatkan oleh terhentinya suplai darah ke otak. Faktor resiko dari stroke yang paling sering dijumpai adalah tekanan darah tinggi atau hipertensi. Pada pasien dengan hipertensi dapat terjadi kerusakan pembuluh darah yang memicu adanya trombosis dan aterosklerosis yang memicu stroke penyumbatan dan ditemukan pula pembuluh darah yang menjadi lemah dan menipis disertai aneurisma yang memicu stroke pendarahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan hipertensi dengan stroke pada pasien di Poliklinik Neurologi RSUP Sanglah Denpasar.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi potong lintang dengan melibatkan sampel sebanyak 100 orang. Data sekunder diambil dari rekam medis pasien hipertensi dan/atau stroke di Poliklinik Neurologi RSUP Sanglah Denpasar periode 1 Januari 2017 sampai 31 Desember 2018.Hasil: Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan hubungan yang kuat dan bermakna antara hipertensi dan stroke (RP = 2,37; IK 95% RP: 1,03 – 8,21; p = 0,04). Hubungan antara hipertensi dengan stroke setelah dikontrol dengan variable-variabel perancu didapatkan hubungan yang signifikan (β = 1,267; odds ratio = 3,549; IK 95%: 10,801 - 1,166; p = 0,026). Diabetes melitus, dislipidemia, aritmia, merokok, obesitas tidak memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan stroke.Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara hipertensi dengan stroke pada pasien yang datang ke Poliklinik Neurologi RSUP Sanglah Denpasar.

Abstract

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a serious public health problem which involves infection of any parts of the urinary tract. In the past few years, treatment of UTI becomes very challenging due to increase emergence of antibiotics resistance in uro-pathogens. This study was performed to determine microbial patterns and its sensitivity to antibiotics.Methods: This was an observational descriptive study. The data were collected from 130 urine samples in RSUD Prof. Dr. W.Z. Johannes during period of January-December 2017. Patients were diagnosed UTI by using Vitek 2.Results: We obtained 130 samples of urine culture in RSUD. Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes during period of January-December 2017. From 130 samples of urine culture, 83 samples showed growth of bacteria and fungi (63,85%) whereas 47 samples showed no growth (36,15%). From 83 growth samples, we identified 20 types of bacteria which include 4 types of gram positive bacteria, 16 types of gram negative bacteria and 1 type of fungi. The most common causes of UTI were E. coli (22,89%), Candida albicans (10,84%), Klebsiella pneumoniae ss pneumoniae (9,64%) and Acinetobacter baumanii (6,02%). Meropenem, gentamycin and amikacin were still sensitive to uropathogen. The most common antibiotics which were resistance to bacteria were ampicillin and ceftriaxone.Conclusion: Escherichia coli is the most prevalence contribute to UTI in outpatient and inpatient. There were only three types of non-resistant antibiotic to uropathogens. Latar Belakang: Infeksi saluran kemih (ISK) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan serius. Beberapa tahun belakangan ini, pengobatan ISK menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi para klinisi karena tingginya angka resistensi antibiotik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola mikroba dan senstivitasnya terhadap antibiotik.Metode: Pada penelitian deskriptif observasional ini, didapatkan 130 sampel urin di RSUD Prof. Dr. W.Z. Johannes dari bulan Januari-Desember 2017 dimana pasien didiagnosis ISK melalui pemeriksaan dengan Vitek 2.Hasil: Sebanyak 130 sampel urin yang dikultur, 83 sampel menunjukan perkembangan bakteri dan jamur (63,85%) dimana 47 sampel menunjukan tidak adanya pertumbuhan (36,15%). Dari 83 sampel yang tumbuh, teridentifikasi sebanyak 20 tipe bakteri dimana 4 tipe merupakan gram-positif dan 16 tipe gram negatif serta 1 tipe jamur. Penyebab terbanyak ISK adalah E. coli (22,89%), Candida albicans (10,84%), Klebsiella pneumoniae ss pneumoniae (9,64%) dan Acinetobacter baumanii (6,02%). Dimana antibiotik jenis meropenem, gentamisin dan amikasin masih sensitif untuk uropatogen. Sedangkan ampisilin dan seftriakson adalah jenis antibiotik yang memiliki angka resistensi tertinggi.Kesimpulan: Escherichia coli adalah penyebab tersering ISK dan hanya ditemukan tiga jenis antibiotik yang masih sensitif untuk uropatogen.
