Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy is a treatment for head and neck malignancies. Hearing impairment is a side effect of chemotherapy, especially caused by platinum-based chemotherapy. Hearing impairment generally occurs at high frequencies after the administration of chemotherapy. AIMS: To prove assosciation between cumulative doses of platinum-based chemotherapy and ototoxic events in head and neck malignancies. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study. The sample is patients with head and neck malignancy receiving platinum-based chemotherapy at Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang from March to June 2023. Hearing assessment using pure tone audiometry was performed randomly at all chemotherapy cycles. Data was analyzed with a chi-square test. RESULT:  Eighty-one subjects (52 male, 29 female), consisting of 71 subjects received cisplatin, and 10 subjects received carboplatin. Ototoxicity occurs in 91.7% of subjects receiving cumulative doses of cisplatin >300mg/m2 and carboplatin >1500mg/m2 compared to cumulative doses of cisplatin <300mg/m2 and carboplatin <1500mg/m2, which was 46.7% (p = 0.001, CI 1.416-2.725). CONCLUSION: There was a significant association between cumulative doses of platinum-based chemotherapy and ototoxicity incidence of head and neck malignancy patients.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis is a common condition caused by inflammation of the nasal mucosa after exposure to allergens and is mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE). Cold temperatures can aggravate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is not fatal, but it can cause a decrease in the patient's quality of life if the symptoms are severe. The severity of allergic rhinitis symptoms is difficult to measure as it should match patient's perception, so VAS is a quantitative measurement tool used. Although VAS is a simple and easy-to-use tool, its use as self-monitoring for AR patients is still infrequent to minimize symptom exacerbations and maintain control of allergic rhinitis. AIMS: This study aims to examine the effect of cold temperature on the severity of allergic rhinitis based on VAS score. METHOD: This research is an experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest study. The study samples involved 75 students suffering from allergic rhinitis assessed with the Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) questionnaire assessment from the class of 2020, 2021, and 2022. Subjects’ pain level was measured before and after the intervention. The intervention was in the form of cold temperature exposure for 15 minutes in a room with a temperature of 18℃. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. RESULT:  The results showed that the mean VAS score before the intervention was 0 while after the intervention was 38.61 ± 24.07. This shows that the mean VAS score after the intervention is higher than the mean VAS score before the intervention (p-value = 0.00 <0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that the effect of cold temperature can increase the severity of allergic rhinitis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND : Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a primary malignancy in the Lymph Nodes and lymphoid tissue originating from B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Therapy for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma chemotherapy can be given alone or combined with radioactive therapy. Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug used for lymphoma with side effects, one of which is cardiotoxic effects. AIMS :  To prove that coenzyme Q10 can reduce the cardiotoxic effect of doxorubicin chemotherapy in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients METHOD : Intervention study with a randomized pre and post test double blind control group design with 34 NHL patients undergoing chemotherapy. The treatment group received additional therapy with coenzyme Q10 300mg/day for 12 weeks while the controls received placebo. The cardiotoxic effects examined were assessed based on the results of Electrocardiography and Echocardiography. RESULT :  The treatment group with coenzyme Q10 supplementation after the 4th chemotherapy showed a decrease in echocardiography results in 3 patients (18%) and in the control group 17 patients (100%). There was a significant difference in the echocardiography results of the treatment and control groups (p=0.001). There were no drug side effects in both groups CONCLUSION : Coenzyme Q10 supplementation provides an improvement in the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, on echocardiography, but not on Electrocardiography.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: One extremely unusual but serious side effect of an acute myocardial infarction is left ventricular free wall rupture. It was reported to happen either during the sub-acute phase with overt cardiac remodeling (type III, 45%) or early after the beginning of Myocardial Infarction (MI) (type I or II, about 55%). Large infarct sizes, female gender, and advanced age have all been linked to an increased risk of free wall rupture. Clinicians continue to face significant challenges in diagnosing and treating this condition because of the diverse clinical manifestations linked to elevated death rates. AIMS: This case report aims to highlight a rare occurrence of mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction CASE: A 69-year-old male patient was referred because of chest pain and dyspneu. He had a primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and was diagnosed with posterior ST-Evelation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). The patient had a stent inserted into his ostial-distal Left Circumflex (LCx) artery. Three weeks later, a reangiography revealed a left ventricle (LV) aneurysm and stent thrombosis. Massive pericardial effusion with free wall rupture was seen on the echo. He was breathing heavily while in our emergency room. His blood pressure was 125/74 (94) heart rate was 94 bpm respiratory rate 24 times/minute, SpO2 was 98%, there were no rales, and his ankles had pitting edema. By the bedside, Echo revealed an LV aneurysm, a large, localized pericardial effusion without tamponade, and a possible free wall rupture. Later, he was taken to the intensive care unit and had heart surgery DISCUSSION: Complications from an acute myocardial infarction may be ischemic, mechanical, arrhythmic, embolic, or inflammatory. Significant short-term clinical improvement and long-term survival are linked to the emergence of mechanical problems following acute myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION: the fact that primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has significantly reduced the prevalence of this deadly event. Our results indicate that one of the key predictors and primary causes of this problem is a longer symptom of angiography time.

Abstract

Background: Obesity has become a major global health issue which leads to various complications, including hepatic diseases. However, we found a rare case of morbid obesity and symptomatic multiple liver cysts. Aim: This article aims to represent a rare case of morbid obesity and multiple liver cysts surgically managed by sleeve gastrectomy and liver cyst unroofing which were performed in a single surgery. Case report: 41-year-old female presented with morbid obesity and blunt intermittent abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant. Stage II hypertension, tenderness on the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and epigastrium were found in clinical assessment. Lipid profiles were shown to be elevated. Abdominal CT revealed fatty liver and multiple cystic lesions in all hepatic segments. Discussion: Non-parasitic liver cysts affect 2-18% of the global population, with a higher prevalence in females possibly due to hormonal factors. Obesity is associated with hormonal alterations, potentially leading to increased secretion of FSH and LH. Conclusion: Sleeve gastrectomy and liver cyst unroofing may be considered as a treatment strategy for patients with morbid obesity and multiple liver cysts.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause to global morbidity and mortality. Inferior MI predominantly stems from the right coronary artery (RCA) in more than 80% of instances, the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) in fewer than 20% of cases, and infrequently from the left anterior descending artery (LAD) AIMS: This case report aims to highlight a rare occurrence of LAD occlusion initially manifested as inferior MI. CASE: A 56-year-old male presented with typical chest pain lasting for 6 hours. Vital signs were within normal range. Initial electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed ST-segment elevation in inferior leads (II, III, aVF). Laboratory tests indicated elevated troponin levels (>25ng/mL). Coronary angiography identified the culprit lesion as the LAD, which wrapped around the apex. DISCUSSION: While ECG alterations are valuable in identifying thrombosed vessels during AMI, the presence of simultaneous ST elevation in both inferior and anterior leads can hinder clinicians' ability to determine the specific artery affected by the infarction. Our case, depicting a scenario where both the right and left coronary arteries are co-dominant, showed complete occlusion at the mid-distal wrap-around LAD, resulting in ST-elevation observed in both inferior and anterior leads. CONCLUSION: The existence of inferior ST-segment elevation alongside alterations in anterior leads could imply occlusion of the wrapped LAD.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Malaria infection causes increased free radicals which leads to severity and decreases antioxidant activity, thus increasing the risk of severe malaria complications. Beetroot extract has active compounds that function as anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. Nanoparticles are a technology that can be used to improve drug delivery efficiency in smaller doses. AIMS:  to prove the effectiveness of beetroot extract nanoparticles on SOD levels in mice infected with malaria and treated with artemisinin METHOD: An experimental study using a post-test-only randomized control group design. The research sample used 30 male Balb/c mice divided into 6 groups. Group 1 was the healthy group, group 2 was the infected group without treatment, group 3 was the infected group with artemisinin treatment, group 4 was the infected group with artemisinin treatment and 50 mg/kgBW/day beetroot extract nanoparticles, group 5 was the infected group with artemisinin treatment and 100 mg/kg BW/day beetroot extract nanoparticles, and group 6 was the infected group with artemisinin treatment and 200 mg/kg BW/day beetroot extract nanoparticles. Beetroot extract and artemisinin supplementation were given after parasitemia index > 1% and given for 4 days. On the 5th day after therapy, serum SOD levels were measured using ELISA. RESULT: The measurement of SOD levels in the artemisinin group supplemented with nanoparticle extracts of beetroot at doses 100-200 mg/KgBW were 21,48-21,59 ng/ml. Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test showed that they are significantly higher serum SOD levels compared to the infected mice group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Supplementation of beetroot extract nanoparticles has an antioxidant effect by increasing SOD levels in mice infected with malaria and receiving artemisinin therapy.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: An endometrioma is a cyst that occurs when endometrial tissue grows on the epithelium of the ovary. Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that can be extracted from commonly available foods and can be synthesized by humans when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency has been reported to be associated with various pathologies, including endometrioma. Vitamin D has been reported to have anti-angiogenic effects that may inhibit the growth of endometriotic implants.   AIM: Proving the effect of vitamin D administration on interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels in peritoneal fluid in patients with endometrioma. METHOD:  Experimental research with two group, post-test only design with single blind that carried out at Central General Hospital (RSUP) Dr. Kariadi Semarang. The research subject was 50 patients with endometrioma on ovary. The definite diagnosis of endometrioma is made based on histopathological examination of tissue samples after the patient undergoes surgery. Patients will be divided into 2 groups, namely the vitamin D3 supplementation group and placebo. The intervention was carried out by providing vitamin D3 50,000 IU/week for a month. Evaluation of serum vitamin D levels were obtained using venous blood samples immediately when the patient was undergoing surgery. Interlukin-6 levels were obtained using peritoneal fluid samples obtained when the patient underwent surgery. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Independent T Test, Mann-Whitney U, Dependent T Test and Wilcoxon. Results are significant if p <0.05. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS edition 26. RESULT:  Peritoneal fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels between the vitamin D supplementation group and the placebo group did not show a significant difference (p=0.554). CONCLUSION: Vitamin D supplementation in endometrioma patients is not associated with peritoneal fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels.
