Background: Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a Gram-negative bacterium that rarely causes meningitis in children. These infections are often resistant to carbapenem antibiotics, making diagnosis and treatment more complicated. Case presentation: A 1-month-old male patient was treated to the PICU of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang with symptoms of decreased consciousness, seizures, and fever. The patient was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and was referred from Sungai Dareh Regional General Hospital with previous therapy for 4 days. A cerebrospinal fluid examination showed increased protein and decreased glucose, and a CT scan showed hydrocephalus. The cerebrospinal fluid culture showed growth of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica which was resistant to imipenem and meropenem. The patient was treated with a combination of non-carbapenem antibiotics and recovered from meningitis. Conclusion: Carbapenem-resistant Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a rare causative agent of meningitis in children. Early diagnosis and treatment with appropriate non-carbapenem antibiotics are essential to increase the chance of cure.

Background: Rheumatic heart disease remains to be the most acquired heart disease among people aged <25 years. Despite improvements in high sociodemographic countries, low and low-middle sociodemographic countries have been less successful in lowering the burden of RHD.1 However, data of patient with RHD is still lacking in Indonesia, especially in Bali. Karangasem is a rural area, one of the regencies in the eastern part of Bali. Methods: This retrospective study was performed between January 2023 and January 2024 at two hospitals in Karangasem Regency, Karangasem Regional General Hospital and BaliMed Karangasem Hospital. These two hospitals were the only hospital in Karangasem regency. The study population comprised all patients who were diagnosed with RHD. Patient characteristics and echocardiographic parameters were collected retrospectively from medical records. Results: Data from 101 patients with RHD were collected. They were predominantly female (73.3%) young adults (mean ages 41.97 years), graduated from primary school (58.4%), unemployed (26.7%), and mostly from the Karangasem subdistrict (34.7%). Mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation were the same counts (65.3%), with mixed valve lesions (mitral and aortic) as the most common lesion (45.5%). Fifty-eight patients (57.4%) had secondary tricuspid regurgitation, with 6 patients with TR V-Max >3.4m/s. Atrial fibrillation was a common complication (47.5%). Most patient with RHD had preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF >50%). Only a quarter of patients had reduced RV contractility (TAPSE <17mm). All of the patients with AF were given warfarin. All under 40-year-old patients were given a benzathine penicillin G injection. Only 7 patients had a history of valve surgery. Conclusion: Mixed valve lesion (mitral and aortic) was the most observed condition of valve lesion in RHD with the same count of mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation. Characteristic of patients in this study were predominantly female, young adult, graduated from primary school, unemployed, had preserved LV function, normal RV contractility, high prevalence of AF with all prescribed warfarin, all of under 40 years were given antibiotics prophylaxis.

Background: Duodenal atresia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by blockage of the small intestine. Open duodeno-duodenostomy is the surgery of choice to correct this condition. Case presentation: We report the case of a three-day-old baby girl with duodenal atresia and a functional single ventricle who underwent open duodeno-duodenostomy. The patient was born via caesarean section due to indications for a previous caesarean section in the mother and congenital abnormalities in the fetus. At birth, the patient showed signs of intestinal obstruction and cyanosis. Preoperative physical and laboratory examinations confirmed duodenal atresia and cardiac abnormalities. The patient underwent an open duodeno-duodenostomy without complications. The patent ductus arteriosus must be kept open to maintain systemic perfusion by maintaining PaO2 at 40 to 45 mmHg and SaO2 at 70% to 80%, along with the administration of prostaglandin agents. Good perioperative management and improvements in surgical procedures will increase the life expectancy of patients with single ventricle problems, especially hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The use of low-dose fentanyl induction agent, 1 MAC sevoflurane, and atracurium has been proven to produce favorable outcomes in these patients. Conclusion: Open duodeno-duodenostomy is a safe and effective operation for duodenal atresia. The patient in this case recovered well after surgery. Open duodeno-duodenostomy should be considered as the primary treatment option for duodenal atresia.

Background: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare necrotic ulcerative skin disease, often associated with an underlying systemic condition. Bacterial coinfection in PG can worsen the course of the disease and slow healing. Case presentation: We report the case of a 25-year-old woman with PG of her left leg complicated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa co-infection. The patient had a history of poorly treated psoriasis. The diagnosis is made based on disease history, physical examination, microbiological examination, and histopathological examination. The patient was treated with oral levofloxacin and topical combination therapy of astaxanthin and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with wound debridement. Significant clinical improvement was achieved within six weeks. Conclusion: PG with bacterial coinfection requires appropriate diagnosis and treatment to achieve optimal results. Topical therapy combining astaxanthin and PRP with wound debridement proved effective in this case.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that causes hyperglycemia and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Diabetic retinopathy, a microvascular complication that often occurs in DM patients, can cause visual impairment and even blindness. Regular eye examinations are important for early detection of diabetic retinopathy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive method that can be used to measure the thickness of retinal layers, including RGC and RNFL. It is thought that thinning of the retinal layer can be a sensitive biomarker in detecting diabetic retinopathy in type 1 DM patients. This study aims to determine changes in RGC and RNFL thickness in children with type 1 DM. Methods: This cross-sectional design analytical observational study was conducted at the eye polyclinic of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang in November 2023-March 2024. A total of 46 eyes from 46 people, divided into two groups: the type 1 DM group and the control group, were recruited in this study. RGC thickness was measured using AS-OCT GC-IPL thickness analysis and RNFL with optic disc RNFL thickness analysis. Data analysis was carried out using the unpaired T-test. Results: The results showed RGC depletion in the type 1 DM group (RGC 83.48 ± 3.75) compared to the control group (RGC 86.70 ± 4.87) with a value of p = 0.016 (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in RNFL thickness between the type 1 DM group (RNFL 102 ± 11.80) and the control group (RNFL 100.96 ± 10.97) with a value of p = 0.581 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: This study found RGC thinning in type 1 DM patients, but did not find differences in RNFL thickness between the two groups. This RGC depletion is thought to be caused by apoptosis of retinal neuronal cells due to chronic hyperglycemia. Examination of RGC thickness with OCT can be developed as an early detection of diabetic retinopathy in children with type 1 DM.

Background: Parathyroid tumors are the most common endocrine neoplasms, with hyperparathyroidism as the main clinical manifestation. Parathyroid adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm, while parathyroid carcinoma is relatively rare but difficult to differentiate from benign disorders. This study aims to describe the characteristics of parathyroid tumor patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) Bandung over the last 5 years. Methods: This descriptive observational research was carried out by collecting medical record data from parathyroid tumor patients at RSHS Bandung for the 2019-2023 period. Parameters identified included age, gender, and histopathological type. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS univariately. Results: There were 12 patients with parathyroid tumors with an increasing trend in cases over the last 5 years. The average age of patients was 37.33 years, with the majority (9 cases) being women. Parathyroid adenoma was the most common histopathological type (8 cases), followed by parathyroid carcinoma (2 cases), osteitis fibrocystica (1 case), and bone deformity (1 case). One patient with parathyroid adenoma was also diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia. Conclusion: The majority of cases of parathyroid tumors at RSHS Bandung occur in women, with the incidence of parathyroid carcinoma being the same in men and women. Parathyroid adenoma is the most common histopathological type, and bone abnormalities complications can occur in patients with parathyroid disorders (3 patients).

Background: Persistent hypertension is a global health problem that requires effective therapy. Renal denervation (RDN) therapy is emerging as a promising new option. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of RDN in patients with persistent hypertension. Methods: We performed a systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies evaluating the effectiveness of RDN in patients with persistent hypertension. Data were extracted and analyzed using a random effects model. Results: A total of 12 studies with a total of 1,024 patients were included in this meta-analysis. RDN demonstrated significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with controls (MD -12.3 mmHg [95% CI -15.8 to -8.8] for systolic blood pressure and MD -6.1 mmHg [95% CI -8.2 to -4.0] for blood pressure diastolic). The effectiveness of RDN is higher in patients with more severe hypertension and in patients who are unresponsive to antihypertensive drugs. Conclusion: RDN is an effective therapy for persistent hypertension, especially in patients with more severe hypertension and in patients who are unresponsive to antihypertensive drugs.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by multisystem inflammation. Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of SLE that can cause kidney failure. Community acquired pneumonia (CAP), bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and hypoalbuminemia are other complications that can occur in SLE patients. Case presentation: We report the case of a 20-year-old man with SLE who presented with lupus nephritis, CAP, bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and hypoalbuminemia. Patients were diagnosed with SLE based on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria. The diagnosis of lupus nephritis is made based on the presence of proteinuria, hematuria, and casts on urinalysis, as well as findings on kidney biopsy. CAP is diagnosed based on the presence of fever, cough, cough with phlegm, and infiltrates on chest X-ray. Bilateral pleural effusion and pericardial effusion were diagnosed based on physical examination and findings on chest ultrasound. Hypoalbuminemia is diagnosed based on low serum albumin levels. Patients are treated with steroids, antimalarials, diuretics, and antibiotics. The patient's symptoms improved and complications resolved. Conclusion: SLE is a complex disease that can cause a variety of serious complications. Early diagnosis and treatment of these complications are essential to improve the patient's prognosis. This case shows that SLE can cause a variety of serious complications, including lupus nephritis, CAP, bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and hypoalbuminemia. Early diagnosis and treatment of these complications are essential to improve the patient's prognosis.

Background: Depression is a common complication in malignancy patients, and can worsen their quality of life and prognosis. Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with life-limiting illnesses, and antidepressants are often used in this context. Methods: This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of antidepressants in malignancy patients with palliative care. A literature search was conducted in three databases: PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. Search terms included “Antidepressants,” “Malignancies,” and “Palliatives.” Results: Two studies met inclusion criteria: First study: Randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of mirtazapine compared with escitalopram in malignant patients with depression. The results showed that mirtazapine was more effective in improving quality of life and reducing depressive symptoms compared with escitalopram. Second study: a study evaluating the effectiveness of antidepressants in elderly malignancy patients with depression. The results suggest that antidepressants may be effective in reducing depressive symptoms and improving quality of life, but further research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety. Conclusion: Available evidence suggests that antidepressants may be effective in treating depression in malignancy patients with palliative care. However, further research is needed to identify the most effective and safe antidepressants for this patient population.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) with unknown causes. Male gender, age > 60 years, history of smoking with symptoms of dry cough and progressive chronic shortness of breath are typical clinical findings in this patient. The diagnosis is made based on a combination of radiological findings in the form of a pattern consistent with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and/or histopathology with the exclusion of other causes of ILD. Treatment includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy in the form of pulmonary rehabilitation, psychosocial support, and lung transplantation. Anti-fibrosis pharmacological therapy, namely nintedanib and pirfenidone, has been proven to slow the progression of pulmonary fibrosis and reduce mortality. The relatively low average survival rate of 3-4 years after the diagnosis is made makes this disease have a poor prognosis and requires adequate identification and treatment in order to reduce morbidity, mortality and improve the quality of life of sufferers.
