Abstract

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation that can affect the distal part of the colon, submucosa and rectal mucosa, and can affect the entire colon even to the terminal ileum. There are several factors that can cause this disease, such as genetics, environment, intestinal microbiota and the presence of enteric infectious agents. Chemical induction in experimental animals for research on gastrointestinal inflammation has been frequently used due to the similarity of the anatomical and physiological structures of experimental animals with the human digestive tract. This review focuses on recent understanding of the chemicals that used as induction agents in animals

Abstract

Dermatophytosis is a superficial skin infection caused by dermatophytes that infected keratinous skin tissue, dermatophytes form molecules that bind to keratin as a source of nutrients in the formation of colonization. Dermatophytes that cause dermatophytosis are Tricophyton sp, Epidermophyton sp and Microsporum sp. To find out the Profile of dermatophytes in patients with dermatophytosis in the Polyclinic of Dermatology and Venerology Dr. Ferdinand Lumbantobing Sibolga in 2019 conducted observational research with cross sectional design. The sample of this study were 75 patients who were new patients and had not used antifungal drugs. This sample is then examined by examination of KOH and cultured and then identified by Scotch-tape Preparation in a microscope. The prevalence of dermatophytosis in this study was 23% of skin cases. The majority of dermatophytosis patients are women (52%), the most age group is 46-65 years (30.7%) and is most often found in housewives (24%). The dermatophytes species found were Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis with the most species Trichophyton rubrum (37.3%), which was then followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (16%). Tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea capitis, tinea pedis and tinea unguinum are dermatophytosis cases that were found in this study. It can be concluded that Trichophyton rubrum is the most common cause of dermatophytosis in Dr. Ferdinand Lumbantobing Sibolga with Tinea corporis is the most classified classification of dermatophytosis.

Abstract

Hemorrhagic stroke is a type of stroke that causes more deaths than ischemic stroke. The prognosis of hemorrhagic stroke patients can be determined with ICH Score. ICH score has a value range of 0-6. The variables of ICH Score are GCS score (0-2), bleeding volume (0-1), intraventricular bleeding (0-1), infratentorial origin (0-1), and age (0-1). Aim: This meta-analysis study aims to determine the relationship between ICH Score and 30-day mortality rate in hemorrhagic stroke patients. Methods: This meta-analysis study uses online literature sourced from Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar. Result: Based on data analysis, there is a significant relationship between the ICH Score and the mortality rate in hemorrhagic stroke patients (OR 18.04, 95% CI: 10.65; 30.55). Analysis of the ICH Score accuracy found that the ICH Score had high accuracy to predict the mortality of hemorrhagic stroke patients (AUC 0.827, 95% CI: 0.796; 0.858). Conclusion: ICH Score has a significant relationship with the 30-day mortality rate in hemorrhagic stroke patients and has high accuracy for predicting mortality in hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Abstract

Diarrhea is a symptom of infection in the intestinal tract with the second death rate in the world in children under five years of age. Risk factors for the incidence of diarrhea in children under five are host factors that increase susceptibility to diarrhea, not giving exclusive breastfeeding (ASI), not giving breastfeeding for 2 years, malnutrition, measles and immunodeficiency. Breastfeeding (ASI) contains the best nutrients that match the needs of the baby and exclusive breastfeeding is carried out from birth to the first six months without any additional food or drink. Several studies have shown that the immunity content of breastfeeding is able to coat the gastrointestinal mucosa and protect the digestive tract from incoming pathogens. The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea in children aged 6-24 months at Puskesmas Aek Parombunan, Sibolga Selatan in 2019. The research design used was observational analytic cross-sectional with the criteria for the research sample of toddlers aged 6-24 months. The sampling technique in this study used total sampling. The research instrument was a medical record and data analysis used the chi-square test. Based on the results of the study, there was a relation between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea.

Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a series of clinical disorders caused by acute ischemic heart disease. The clinical spectrum of ACS is unstable angina pectoris (UAP), non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Inflammation occurs from the early stages of atheroma formation to plaque rupture and thrombosis. Thrombocytosis and lymphopenia are associated with the degree of systemic inflammation and the platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a new marker involving both hematological indices. ST segment elevation myocardial infarction is a type of acute myocardial infarction with high mortality. Management of STEMI patients is carried out with reperfusion therapy consisting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and fibrinolytics. Contrast-induced nephropathy is a serious complication of angiograph procedures that results from administration of contrast media.
