Abstract

Pituitary gigantism is a condition caused by excessive secretion of Growth Hormone (GH). The GH is the most common pituitary hormone-deficient in pituitary disease. Chordoma is a bone primary tumor that grows slowly and is rarely found. Hypothyroidism is a pathological condition due to thyroid hormone deficiency. Symptoms of hypogonadism are non-specific including libido disorders, erectile dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass and no hair growth in the head or body. A 24-year-old male came with pain in the knee. Physical examination showed increased growth of natural and body parts as well as the loss of body hair. Laboratory investigations revealed pancytopenia, increased prolactin; decreased GH, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and testosterone; increased Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), decreased Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) and Free Thyroxine (FT4). Ahead MRI demonstrated the presence of a mass in the clivus. In this case, the patient presented with clinical gigantism. However, laboratory examination showed decreased GH and IGF-1, which might be due to the suppressive effect of mass on the clivus bone to the pituitary. Further examinations were needed to clear the suspicion of hypothyroid. Hypogonadism can result from suppression in the pituitary. Pancytopenia can be caused by a deficiency of GH or from hypothyroidism. Gigantism may occur with GH and IGF-1 deficiency due to suppressed pituitary caused by chordoma.

Abstract

Hearing loss in newborns or congenital deafness can be caused by the development of several parts of the auditory system. Congenital deafness is often associated with infections, such as Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes (TORCH). Deafness is very difficult to be early detected. Therefore, simple but fast methods are needed. Early detection is based on the Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) program. Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) and Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR) checks are raw materials for early detection. Congenital deafness often occurs with pregnancy infections with viruses such as Rubella. Rubella infection during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, often causes Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). Rubella infection often occurs with other causes, such as Toxoplasma, CMV, and Herpes. A Serological test can be used as one of the diagnostics of this infection. This study used single Rubella IgG and IgM antibodies and double antibodies test as a marker for the infection. The authors wanted to correlate the serological examination of this infection with the auditory function. Rubella infection was detected with single serological anti-Rubella IgG and IgM and double multiple Rubella and TORCH serological tests. Also, the auditory function was assessed using the OAE and AABR test in this research. The result showed 35 (77.7%) patients with positive Rubella serological tests among 45 NICU patients at Dr. Soetomo Hospital. There were number of patients was 12 (34.2%) patients with a single positive serological test and 23 (65.7%) patients with positive multiple TORCH serological tests. The number of patients with Rubella negative infection was 10 (22.2%). There were 11 (31.4%) patients of positive Rubella infections with positive hearing loss and 24 (68.6%) patients with negative hearing loss. From the results of the study, 35 patients were at high risk of disturbance and the statistical analysis showed that there were no significant serological differences in Rubella positive with hearing loss (p=0.087). Hearing loss in NICU infants has a high risk of factors causing Rubella infection and other related causes. In most Rubella positive serological tests IgG was found, which can be due to maternal factors. Serology tests need to be repeated for confirmation under the surveillance program. How to follow-up the patients and define the next laboratory test after six months remain a great challenge. The efforts need to be strengthened in surveillance programs.

Abstract

Biliary Atresia (BA) is extrahepatic cholestasis that results in death within the first two years if the diagnosis and intervention are delayed. The etiology and pathogenesis of BA are still undetermined. Viral infections, including Cytomegalovirus (CMV), are presumed to be one of the causes. Cytomegalovirus infection is more common in intrahepatic than extrahepatic cholestasis such as BA. There are limited data about Cytomegalovirus infection in cholestatic infants with BA. This study compared the incidence of CMV infection in cholestatic infants with biliary atresia and non-biliary atresia. A cross-sectional study was performed in December 2017 - August 2018 in cholestatic infants aged 1-6 months. Liver biopsy, histopathological examination followed by PCR CMV examination were performed on cholestatic infants. The results of the PCR examination were compared between BA and non-BA infants. Statistical analysis of Chi-Square, t-test independent and Mann-Whitney U resulting in p<0.05 were stated as significant. Thirty-seven children were obtained during the study period, consisting of sixteen children with BA and twenty-one children with non-BA. Biliary atresia was predominantly found in female than male children, despite no differences were found between the groups (p=0.163). There were differences in body weight (p=0.002) age (p=0.009), birth weight (p=0.02) and gestational age (p=0.03) between children with BA and non-BA. There was no significant difference in the incidence of CMV infection in cholestatic infants with BA and non-BA (p=0.338). Cytomegalovirus infection in cholestatic infants with BA was less than non-BA cholestatic infants.

Abstract

Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction condition caused by dysregulation of host response towards infection. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in medical emergency. A recent study revealed 18 millions of sepsis occur annually with a mortality rate of 30%, so early diagnosis in assessing sepsis severity is necessary as a guide for early and specific therapy. Organ dysfunction in sepsis patients is associated with high mortality, assessed by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) criteria. Procalcitonin is widely used for diagnosing, monitoring, and prognosis sepsis. This study aimed to analyze the correlation of procalcitonin level with sepsis severity based on SOFA score.  This was an observational cross-sectional study. Samples were collected from December 2017-February 2018 of 72 patients. Each patient was calculated by SOFA score and underwent procalcitonin examination using an immunochromatography method by RAMP. Results. Samples from 72 patients who met the criteria, were analyzed consisting of 37 mailes(51.4%) and 35 females(48.6%), aged 23-77 years, with mean±SD 47.4±14.02 years. The range of SOFA score was 0-16 with mean±SD 6.47±3.61, while procalcitonin levels 0.20-200 ng/mL mean±SD 21.03±14.63 ng/mL. There was a significant correlation between procalcitonin level and SOFA score (r=0.752;p<0.0001). This suggests that procalcitonin may illustrate the severity of sepsis patients. The higher the procalcitonin, the more severe the sepsis. SOFA score and procalcitonin examinations should be performed routinely in patients with sepsis to assess prognosis (severity) for earlier pretreatment so that the mortality rate can be lowered.

Abstract

Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia (AMKL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia triggered by megakaryocytes. Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia is divided into three groups, AMKL in children with Down syndrome (DS-AMKL), AMKL in children who do not have Down Syndrome (non-DS-AMKL), and AMKL in non-DS adults (AMKL adults).The basis of the diagnosis of AMKL or AML-M7, according to FAB, is the presence of megakaryocyte line cells as many as 30% or more of all cells. Meanwhile, the diagnosis of AMKL, according to the 2016 WHO guidelines, is acute leukemia with blasts, about > 20%, > 50% of which is megakaryocyte line cells. Megakaryocyte cells can be more clearly seen with electron microscopes that react positively to platelet peroxidase or use marker antibodies to CD41/gpIIb, CD42b/gpIb, CD61/gpIIIa, von Willebrand factors, and linker for T cell activation.Based on the results of this research, there are differences in cytogenetics between the three types of AMKL according to their different pathophysiology. The World Health Organization (WHO) argued that AMKL was categorized into not otherwise specific (NOS) AML criteria. These criteria exclude AML with myelodysplasia (AMLMRC), AML associated with therapy, and AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities, such as AML with t (1; 22) (p13.3; q13.1), inv (3) (q21.3q26.2), or t (3; 3) (q21.3; q26.2). DS-AMKL is also classified into myeloid leukemia associated with DS. In conclusion, AMKL in adults is not only considered as a rare subtype of AMKL, only 1% of AML cases in population-based clinical experiments and data but also has a poor prognosis.

Abstract

The diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is required early and accurate to avoid missing diagnosis and improve the rule out of AMI patients. There is a relationship between AMI and the state of hypercoagulation and/or thrombosis process. sFM is a protrombotic marker that is found to be associated with early AMI incidence compared to cTnI that increases after mionecrosis. The aim of this study is to determine that sFM can be used as biomarker for AMI and the correlation between sFM and cTnI. A cross-sectional analytic observational study was conducted among 23 AMI patients and 27 healthy controls. AMI were established using clinical, ECG and laboratory findings. sFM levels were measured with Stago Compact Max analyzer. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman's correlation coefficient, ROC curve analysis, and 2x2 contingency table. A significant correlation were found between the sFM and the cTnI (r=0.422, p<0.05). With a sFM cut-off level of 2.56 µg/mL, AMI could be diagnosed with sensitivity and specificity of 82.6% and 40.7%, respectively (AUC=0.638). Discussion. sFM is a new biomarker for systemic thrombus events, both cardiac and non-cardiac. Conclusions and Suggestions. sFM can be considered as an parameter of AMI. Similar studies with cohort method involving large number may be needed in the future study.

Abstract

Bacteremia causes a high mortality rate. Detection of bacteremia is needed as quickly as possible. The gold standard for bacteremia is blood culture which takes between 24-48 hours. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a marker of infection that is caused by bacteria that can be detected quickly in 2-6 hours. Time to positivity (TTP) blood culture is affected by the initial amount of bacteria and the addition of procalcitonin stimulated by bacteria that causes bacteremia where short TTP and high PCT show bad clinical conditions. Analytical cross sectional research on patients with bacteremia. Fourty-six bacteremia cases become the sample of research. Time to Positivity is calculated with Bactec 9050 and Procalcitonin is analyzed with mini VIDAS B.R.A.H.M.S. Examination is conducted in Department of Clinical Pathology FK-USU/ Installation of Clinical Pathology of RSUP H. Adam Malik, Medan, June – October 2016. There was significant correlation between Time to Positivity blood culture and procalcitonin on bacteremia patients (p<0.05). There was no significant correlation between Time to Positivity and procalcitonin on bacteremia which was caused by gram-positive bacteria or Gram-negative bacteria (p>0.05). Procalcitonin was significantly higher on bacteremia, which was caused by Gram-negative bacteria compared to Gram-positive bacteria (p<0.05). There was significant correlation between Time to Positivity blood culture and procalcitonin on bacteremia patients. Significantly higher levels of procalcitonin in cases of bacteremia are more likely to be caused by Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), one of the primary manifestation of coronary heart disease, is a significat cause of death worldwide. Hyperhomocysteinemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is caused by nutritional or genetic disturbances in homocysteine metabolism. The role of hyperhomocysteinemia in altered lipid metabolism presumed holds the key to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Hyperhomocysteinemia causes the reduction of serum High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level by inhibiting hepatic synthesis of apo-A1 (significant apolipoprotein HDL). The aim of this study was to know the correlation between hyperhomocysteinemia and decreased HDL cholesterol levels for the management of cardiovascular disease risk factors. This research was an analytical study with cross-sectional design in 40 patients AMI who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and conduct blood test at the Central Laboratory of Hospital Dr. M. Djamil Padang and Biomedical Laboratory Faculty of Medicine Andalas University. The study was conducted in May 2016-Agustus 2017. Homocysteine level was measured by ELISA method. High-Density Lipoprotein level was performed by enzymatic colorimetric method. Data were analyzed by Spearman's correlation test. Research subjects were 40 people with male gender 30 (75%) and female 10 (25%), mean age 61.08 (11.09) year. The mean level of HDL cholesterol in patients with AMI is 41.93 ± 13.12 mg/dL. The mean level of homocysteine in patients with AMI is 25.36 ± 22.2 µmol/L. Spearman's correlation test showed a strong correlation between the levels of homocysteine and HDL cholesterol with r=-0.603 and p<0.01.

Abstract

Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is structural damage and function of the kidneys that cannot excrete toxins and waste products from the blood, characterized by the presence of protein in the urine and decreased glomerulus filtration rate. This study aimed to determine the correlation between Galectin-3 and markers of kidney function which are creatinine and uric acid. This study was being concluded on 33 CRF patients who were doing hemodialysis therapy. This study was conducted in the Dr. Kariadi Semarang Hospital and GAKI Laboratory of Diponegoro Medical Faculty from April to June 2018. The research method was analytical descriptive with cross-sectional approach. Galectin-3 was analyzed using ELISA method with an automatic analyzer, creatinine and uric acid using the colorimetric method with an automatic spectrophotometer. Statistical analysis used Shaphiro-Wilk normality test and Spearman correlation test. There is a weak positive correlation test of galectin-3 with creatinine (r = 0.381; p = 0.029) and galectin-3 with uric acid (r = 0.374; p = 0.048) in CRF – HD. It is concluded galectin-3 can be used as a marker of kidney function.

Abstract

Delta check is a process during post-analytical phases to detect discrepancies of test results before reporting by comparing current patient values to the previous test result. It is one of the efforts in assuring the quality of laboratory test results.  It has to be done although control of sampling, control of method, control of the instrument, control of reagents as well as control of data distribution has been done well. The difference between those two test results is compared to a delta check limit that is specific for the test parameter within a predefined time interval.  A time interval is flexible, and usually, most hospital laboratories choose 24 or 48 hours. Delta check limits should be defined so that both acceptable and unacceptable changes could be detected. Delta check limits should be based upon the total expected variation on both biological, and analytical variation. Delta check limits can be expressed as the absolute or percent difference between two consecutive results. The delta check system is addressed to evaluate changes in patient condition as well as quality sample issues and patient misidentification.
