Abstract

 A 55-year-old male was admitted to hospital with chief complaint of abdominal distention since one year before admission, and it became more prominent than before. The physical examination showed splenomegaly with schuffner line S5, and it was confirmed with ultrasonography. The routine blood test showed a hemoglobin level of 9.2 g/L, leukocyte count of 14.690/µL and thrombocyte count of 115 x 103/µL. From the peripheral blood smear results, the suspected diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia with differential diagnosis of a leukemoid reaction was made. However, bone marrow aspiration revealed hypoplastic marrow of primary myelofibrosis. The patients with primary myelofibrosis need early diagnosis and treatment to manage the symptoms of splenomegaly, stop fibrosis process and extramedullary hematopoiesis. Early treatment, in this case, can decrease poor prognosis and mortality rate.

Abstract

Malaria remains a health problem in Indonesia. Microscopic examination with Giemsa staining is the gold standard for diagnosing malaria. The density of parasites correlates with the degree of severity and response to therapy of malaria. Malaria-causing plasmodium can be detected by Sysmex XN-1000 which is marked by abnormalities in the WDF, WNR and RET scattergram. This research aimed to determine the correlation of WDF, WNR and RET abnormal scattergram detected by Sysmex XN-1000 and the parasitemia index of malaria at the Merauke General Hospital. This was a cross-sectional study with observational approach conducted between November 2017 – February 2018 at the Merauke General Hospital. Positive malaria samples were stained with Giemsa, their parasitemia index was calculated, routine complete blood count using Sysmex XN-1000 was performed, and the scattergram abnormalities were then analyzed. There were 65 positive malaria samples as follows: P.falciparum (35%), P.vivax (60%), P.ovale (3.1%), and P.malariae (1.5%), but the species did not correlate with parasitemic index (p=0.691). Abnormalities of WDF and WNR scattergram were predominantly found than RET scattergram (80% vs. 27.7%). P.vivax predominantly caused abnormalities of the WDF and WNR scattergram in 36 of 39 samples (92.3%), whereas P.falciparum predominantly caused abnomalities of the RET scattergram in 14 of 23 samples (60.9%). There was 95% positivity of an abnormality in WDF/WNR/RET scattergram with a cut-off of > 5,0165.5/µL. There was correlation between WDF, WNR, RET scattergram detected by Sysmex XN-1000 and the parasitemia index.

Abstract

In a clinical laboratory services pre-analytical phase has plays an important role in term of quality and patient safety. Pre-analytical phase is a phase before analyzing sample in laboratory which  includes  patient preparation, sampling, labeling, sample transportation, sample storage,  and preservation of samples that might influence the laboratory results. In this phase it involves interaction between patient, doctor, laboratory personels, and other staff outside the laboratory. Therefore, it could be assumed that in this phase many sample are collected, many laboratory tests are requested, many individuals are involved and therefore laboratory errors might be occured. Laboratory errors can occur either in pre-analytical, analytical, or post analytical phases but the most frequently errors occur in pre-analytical phase. In this article, quality improvement efforts in pre-analytical phase will be discussed in order to minimize pre-analytical error.

Abstract

Diagnosis of tuberculosis can be established through the detection of antigens by Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB), microscopy, culture, and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The World Health Organization (WHO) 2012 issued a recommendation not to use antibody detection in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. However, there is high demand from clinicians to detect anti-tuberculosis antibody in patients who are challenging to do a bacteriological examination. The purpose of this research was to determine the diagnostic value of anti-M.tuberculosis IgG and IgM Encode TB to support lung tuberculosis diagnosis.This study was a cross-sectional by using consecutively sampling, which was performed in the Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from November 2017 until May 2018. A total of 52 patients were included and evaluated for clinical or bacteriological examination using AFB microscopy or PCR (Gene Xpert) as the gold standard and tested the anti-M.tuberculosis IgG and IgM with immunochromatography. Encode Tuberculosis (TB) IgG was positive in 12 patients from the tuberculosis group and one false-positive in the non-tuberculosis group. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of Encode TB IgG dan IgM were 35%, 94%, 92%, 43% and 55.7%, respectively. The specificity was high that the positive result was considered as TB; the sensitivity was low that the negative results were not excluded from TB. Encode TB IgG/IgM rapid test was not recommended to use as a single diagnostic test and must be combined with other diagnostic tests to increase the sensitivity.

Abstract

Obesity can be defined as the excess of body fat. The prevalence of obesity worldwide increases in the last decades andcauses a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Male subjects tend to develop visceral (abdominal) obesity, which producespro-inflammatory adipokines. Obesity in males is associated with low testosterone levels. Several mechanisms have beenproposed to explain the link between male obesity and hypotestosterone, including increased aromatization oftestosterone to form estradiol, suppressing the Hypothalamus-Pituitary (HPT) axis due to pro-inflammatory adipokines, anddecrease of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) production. Because hypotestosterone in males with obesity is afunctional but reversible condition, it is essential to screen testosterone levels in obese males for early intervention andtreatment.

Abstract

Congenital hypothyroidism is a condition resulting from a deficiency of thyroid hormone in newborns. Congenital hypothyroidism has no specific signs and symptoms at birth. It may lead to severe mental retardation and growth, and developmental disorders. Therefore, it is essential to perform newborn laboratory screening tests for prompt diagnosis and treatment to minimize the sequels. Laboratory screening tests are performed by taking prick blood from the heel of newborn and testing either TSH or T4 or both of them. Currently, the congenital hypothyroidism screening is not mandatory in Indonesia, but some multicentered screening programs have been performed. In Indonesia, a TSH level above 20 µU/mL is used as a cutoff that needs a confirmatory test using serum samples to confirm congenital hypothyroidism diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established, prompt treatment and laboratory monitoring are needed for a better outcome.

Abstract

Plasmotec Malaria-3 is a rapid malaria diagnostic test that uses four-line tests and targets three malaria proteins, namely Plasmodium falciparum specific protein (HRP-2), Plasmodium vivax-specific LDH (Pv-LDH) and non-specific Plasmodium LDH (pLDH). Microscopy as a gold standard has many disadvantages and the availability of malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) in detecting three proteins is still very limited. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of ® ® Plasmotec Malaria-3 against gold standard microscopy, comparing the Plasmotec Malaria-3 and microscopy antigen ® species detection, determining the Parasitemia Index (PI) cut-off using Plasmotec Malaria-3. This study was a cross-sectional study with 105 whole blood samples obtained from the Merauke Papua General Hospital which fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Samples were examined by thick and thin drops and then examined with Plasmotec® ® Malaria-3. Diagnostic values of Plasmotec Malaria-3 against the microscopy were Sn 100%, Sp 98.04%, PPV 98.18%, NPV ® 100%, LR + 51, LR-0, diagnostic accuracy of 99.05%. Comparison of Plasmodium species between Plasmotec Malaria-3 and ® microscopy was not significantly different, p-value = 0.172. The cut-off of PI in P.falciparum and P.vivax in Plasmotec Malaria-3 based on the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve could not be determined with AUC=0.577, p-value=0.385 and AUC=0.423, p-value=0.385, respectively. This study concluded that the comparison of Plasmodium ® species between Plasmotec Malaria-3, and microscopy was not significantly different. This study suggested that further ® research is needed to find the diagnostic value of non-falciparum and non-vivax Plasmodium against Plasmotec Malaria-3.

Abstract

There have been many studies about pre-analysis for sperm RNA examination which compared sperm purification methods, RNA isolation methods, sequencing methods, and semen storage before analysis. However, there is a lack of studies that determine the ideal storage temperature after sperm cell purification before RNA analysis, especially small RNA analysis. The aim of this study was to determine the preferred storage temperature for human sperm cells after sperm purification using Somatic Cell Lysis Buffer (SCLB) before sperm small ribonucleic acid (RNA) isolation and analysis. Thisstudy was a true laboratory experiment using the post-test only control group design. The samples  were 13 fresh human semen that has been purified using SCLB. The sperm cells were then diluted and divided into four aliquots with different treatments. The first aliquot that served as a control group was immediately purified while the other three aliquots were 0 0 0 stored for seven days at different temperatures as follows: 4 C, -20 , and -80 C. After the small RNA isolation, RNA level between each group was compared. Micro volume spectrophotometer measured RNA level. The median of small RNA6 yields of the control group was 49.8 (5.33-522.46) ng/10 sperm cells. There was no significant difference in median of small RNA yields of the control group and that of other groups. The median of the other groups with storage temperature 0 0 0 6 of 4 C, -20 , and -80 C was 41.09 (7.03-1448.31), 65.95 (7.99-301.16), and 76.42 (10.45-434.25) ng/10 sperm cells, respectively (p-value= 0.314; α=5%). This condition suggested that after purification using SCLB, human sperm cells can be 0 0 0 stored at temperatures of 4 C, -20 , or -80 C for seven days, depending on each laboratory facility.

Abstract

It is reported the incidence of DVT is approximately 84 cases per 100,000 each year, with 30-50% of untreated DVT are at risk for pulmonary embolism, causing a 12% increase in mortality rate. An accurate and rapid diagnosis of DVT is needed to minimize the risk of complications and prevent unnecessary anticoagulant therapy without waiting for the results of a diagnostic examination using ultrasound. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of plasma D-dimer levels on Doppler ultrasound for DVT diagnosis to help clinicians to select a rapid and accurate diagnostic test for DVT diagnosis. This research was a retrospective study using data from medical records and performed at the Medical Record Installation of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar, by taking data on patients with DVT along with the results of D-dimer and Doppler ultrasound from January to December 2018. D-dimer levels were measured using an immunoturbidimetric method with a reference value of<0.5 μg/mL. A total of 33 samples were obtained with a mean of D-dimer value was higher in positive Doppler (5.29) compared to negative (2.31), although not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Also, the mean of Wells score was higher in positive Doppler (4.74) compared to negative (4.17), although not statistically significant (p> 0.05). The diagnostic values of D-dimer were as follows: sensitivity of 92.6%, specificity of 33.3%, positive predictive value of 86.2%, negative predictive value of 50.0%, and accuracy of 81.8%. D-dimer test can be used both for screening and diagnostic tests with cut-off value ≥ 2 μg/mL.

Abstract

Acute Myocardial Infarction (IMA) is the most severe manifestation of coronary arterial disease, and about 60%-75% of IMA is NSTEMI. It is known that complications are associated with high mortality rates; therefore, predicting the development of complications in NSTEMI will help physicians improve risk stratification and determine optimal treatment. Suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (ST2) is a family of interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors. Ischemia, injury, and myocardial infarction will cause cardiomyocytes to release sST2 associated with a worse prognosis. This study aimed to analyze sST2 levels in NSTEMI patients as a prognostic marker. This study used a prospective cohort method performed on NSTEMI patients treated at Pusat Jantung Terpadu of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital during March 2019. Forty-two patients were involved as samples. All patients were tested for sST2 levels by immunochromatography and followed up during hospitalization. Data on the development of heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, sudden cardiac arrest, length of stay, and outcome were recorded during follow-up. Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney and Spearman test.The results of the sST2 level in NSTEMI with and without heart failure were 114.09±92.01 ng/mL and 58.94±57.75 ng/mL (p=0.014), respectively. There was no significant difference between sST2 levels in NSTEMI with complications of arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, and sudden cardiac arrest compared and patients without those complications (p>0.05). The level of sST2 was significantly higher in NSTEMI patients who passed away (164.05±77.35 ng/mL) than those who survived (72.55±73.15 (p=0.027). There was no correlation between sST2 levels and length of stay (p=0.947). It was concluded that sST2 levels could be a prognostic marker for NSTEMI, particularly heart failure and outcome.
