Abstract

Introduction: Preoperative evaluation of meningioma consistency is important because it will affect surgical procedures, surgical optimization, risk assessment, and patient management. The consistency of meningioma can be predicted by Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) value on MRI. ADC values are useful in quantitative tumor assessment based on diffusivity in the tumor. The objective of the study is to find out the correlation between ADC value and the pathology consistency of meningioma.Methods: A retrospective study was carried out using medical records at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya by January 2017 - December 2018. The ADC value was obtained by placing three ROI in the tumor and the consistency was obtained from the results of the pathology examination, followed by the Spearman correlation test.Results: There The tumor range value of ADC was 0.58 x 10-3mm2 s to 1.63 x 10-3mm2/s. The mean ADC value in soft, intermediate, and hard consistency was 1.247+ 0.200 x 10-3mm2/s, 0.950 + 0.453 x 10-3mm2/s, and 0.793 + 0.161 x 10-3mm2/s, the cut-off value of ADC was + 0.822 x 10-3mm2/s with specificity 68% and sensitivity 85%, the AUC is 0.740 with a significance value of 0.0043 (p<α, α = 0.05). It was obtained an ADC correlation with the consistency of meningioma, the significance value is p=0.000 (p<α, α = 0.05).Conclusion: There is a correlation between the ADC value and the consistency of meningioma. The ADC value can be considered for an optimal preoperative evaluation in assessing the consistency of meningioma.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia is still among the top three contributors to the number of Tuberculosis (TB) patients in the world in 2017. The awareness about TB can be affected by the presence of other TB patients in the family. Perception and good knowledge in TB patients can increase obedient in treatment. This study aims to relate to the presence of other TB patients in the family environment with knowledge of TB patients.Methods: This study used cross-sectional design. Research respondents have taken using the consecutive sampling technique. Respondents were TB patients on category one anti-tuberculosis treatment at Siti Khadijah Sepanjang Hospital and several primary health centers in Sidoarjo region during February-March 2019. This study used a questionnaire which included sociodemographic, level of knowledge, and perception about TB.Results: The number of respondents in this study was 50 people aged 22-67 years old. The level of knowledge of the respondents was mostly good (82%) as well as perceptions regarding TB (78%). Of the 50 patients, 17 patients (34%) claimed some families also suffered from TB. The comparison between group with other TB patient and group without other TB patients in the family showed significantly different result in the level of knowledge (p=0,000) and perception (p=0,000). The presence of other TB cases in family increased level of knowledge and perception regarding TB significantly.Conclusion: The presence of other TB patients in the family environment can increase awareness so that it can increase the interest of TB patients to find information about TB.

Abstract

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common bacterial cause of nosocomial infections. Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics by various mechanisms, including producing enzymes that can damage antibiotics, change intracellular targets from antibiotics, and efflux pumps. Basil (Ocimum sanctum L.) is a traditional plant that is usually used as ingredients that contain antibacterial compounds including flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and eugenol. The aim was to determine the effectiveness of extract basil leaves for inhibiting and killing the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Methods: We administrated extract basil leaves with a concentration of 100%, 50%, and 25% in the plate contained bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The result showed that there was no inhibition of bacterial growth in broth dilution for 8 hours and 24 hours. We continued to culture bacteria for 24 hours.Results: The analysis showed extract basil leaves has bactericidal effects in 8 hours and 24 hours incubation significantly (p < 0.05). However, in 24 hours more effective as a bactericidal in 100% of concentration significantly (p < 0.05).Conclusion: From this result, eugenol (a phenol derivative found in the ethanol extract of basil leaves) has the effect of damaging cell membranes. Phenol bonding with bacterial cell walls can disrupt the permeability of transport cell membranes, thus the bacteria will be disrupted and die.

Abstract

Introduction: Pain is an unpleasant experience that reduces a person's quality of life. Pain related complain can be treated by administering analgesic drugs. Several studies show that the availability of analgesics is still low, especially opioid analgesics. Dayak onion (Eleutherine americana (Aubl.) Merr.) are used by the Dayaks to relieve pain. Several empirical studies have shown that Dayak onion contain compounds including quercetin as a potential analgesic. This research aimed to investigate the potential analgesic effect of Dayak onion using hot plate method.Methods: The research was conducted experimentally on 36 BALB/c male mice which randomly divided into 6 different treatment groups of Dayak onion exctract, aspirin, codein and aquadest. Each group were thermally pain-induced for latency period measurement by the hot plate test method. Obtained data were processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett test.Results: There was a difference in the latency period between the baseline response time and the response time after being treated in each group. ANOVA test results showed significant results (p<0.05) so that the resulting latency period was significant. Dunnett test results showed significant results (p<0.05) in negative control group. Based on these results, Dayak onion are proven to have an analgesic effect on heat stimulation.Conclusion: Dayak onion possess significant analgesic effect on thermally pain-induced mice. Dayak onion extract 90 mg/kg mouse produced better analgesic effects than aspirin 65 mg/kg mouse.

Abstract

Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) is a disease that mainly affects children, while the incidence in adults is rarely reported. Low incidence in adults caused by undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Course of the disease in adults is more complex, including high incidence of renal insufficiency. Renal manifestations need special attention because it can worsen the prognosis, so patients must be detected and treated as quickly as possible. Poor prognosis depends on the presence of renal clinical manifestations accompanied by an increase in the severity of renal histological grading, abdominal manifestations, and persistent purpura. We describe male patients with HSP, presenting with gastrointestinal, renal, and cutaneous manifestations. Gastroscopy showed superficial gastritis (reddish patches on almost all gastric mucosa. Skin biopsy showed lymphocytic vasculitis. Gastric biopsy shows infiltration of lymphocyte inflammation cells, histiocytes, plasma cells in the corpus and gastric antrum. Patients have received supportive therapy, steroid, and showed clinical improvement.

Abstract

Introduction: Earlier menopause has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, shorter life expectancy and even cognitive decline. There are many factors that cause differences in the age of menopause in women, one of these environmental factors is a history of night shift work as a consequence of a job. It is not yet known whether female medical workers, with a history of night shifts, get earlier menopause.Methods: This case control study was conducted among 57 female night workers of the Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. Data collection was conducted from December 2019 - March 2020. The study sample was postmenopausal health workers (nurse and midwife) and administrators. The instrument used in this study was a list of interview questions. The data was processed using SPSS software release 23.Results: The results show that from 45 children diagnosed with ALL, 53% are of the age ≤ 5 years old, with 58% males and 42% females. 13% of the patients are in the high risk group and 87% are in the standard risk group. Nutritional statuses of patients are 2% of them obese experienced remission after induction phase therapy, 56% normal with 80% of them experienced remission. 40% underweight with 89% of them experienced remission and 11% not experienced remission, 2% malnutrition and experienced remission. There is no correlation between the nutritional status of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the outcome of induction phase (p = 0.798).Conclusion: In conclusion, there is no correlation between nutritional status and remission outcome of patients with ALL in the induction phase of therapy. However, high percentage of underweight patients shows nutrition needs special attention to improve therapy outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is one of the neglected tropical diseases. These worm infections contributed to global child health. Children suffer from chronic disease and fail to reach their full physical and intellectual capacity. Antihelmintic treatment or deworming is recommended for controlling STH. World Health Organization is focusing predominantly on deworming school-age children. Even antihelmintic treatment has to be repeated regularly, children can reinfect if their environment contaminated. It needs a strategy to control STH and treating adults as well as a child.Methods: We searched the literature for relevant clinical research and articles using Google Scholar and PubMed which were published between 2014 and 2018 with keywords “soil-transmitted helminths”, “soil-transmitted helminthiasis”, combined with “eradication” and “elimination”. We excluded research and article which were not written in English. Our study included a total number of ten publications.Results: The studies mentioned that antihelmintic requires the control of STH transmission and need for the treatment in different age groups.Conclusion: According to our findings, the mass drug administration is recommended as a control strategy in both low and middle-income countries to reduce helminthiasis and schistosomiasis. High STH reinfection rate requires an integrated approach including the use of safe pure water, improvement for personal hygiene and sanitation, proper toilets, and reducing the practice of defecation in nature. The previous studies showed that studies focused on deworming using antihelmintic
