Abstract

Highlights:1. Bacteria remain a major cause of bacterial sepsis.2. The most common causal agent in bacterial septicaemia was the gram-positive bacterium. Abstract: Background: Bacteria remain the primary cause of bacterial sepsis. Gram-negative bacteria are the most commonly isolated from sepsis patients. However, gram-positive bacterial infections have also increased recently. Objective: To identify the pattern of bacterial infection in sepsis patients in Internal Medicine inpatient ward Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Material and Method: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of all sepsis patients in Internal Medicine Ward Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia from January 1 – December 31, 2016. All patients were divided according to bacterial species into two groups: patients with gram-positive and gram-negative infection. The collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS ver. 16.0 to find out the frequency. Result: From 179 eligible data reviewed, there were 103 (57.5%) patients with gram-positive bacterial infection and 76 (43.5%) patients with a gram-negative bacterial infection. The major isolates of gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus hominins (30 isolates) and gram-negative bacteria was Escherichia coli (30 isolates), 43 isolates showed multi-drug resistant organisms; Escherichia coli ESBL 23 isolates, Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL 3 isolates, Klebsiella oxytoca ESBL 2 isolates and Methilcillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus 5 isolates. Conclusion: The most common causative agent in bacterial sepsis was gram-positive bacteria. The major isolated gram-positive bacteria are Staphylococcus hominis and gram-negative bacteria were Escherichia coli. The species of multi-drug resistant organisms found are Methilcillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli ESBL, Klebsiella pneumonia ESBL and Klebsiella oxytoca ESBL. Among the patients with multi-drug resistant organism infection, Escherichia coli ESBL were the most prevalent one.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. The use of re-heated cooking oil can give negative impact on health,  especially on the cardiovascular system. 2. Unlike other types of cooking oil, repeated heating of canola oil did not show significant change in aortic wall thickness. Abstract Background: Structural alteration of blood vessels such as formation of atheroma or changes in the thickness of vessel walls, are heavily involved in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Several studies have shown that canola oil has a positive effect on such diseases by reducing LDL and cholesterol levels. However, there may be several negative impacts on reheating canola oil upon administration, similar to other oils. Although canola oil can improve lipid profiles, studies related to how canola oil alters the structure of blood vessels are limited. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of heated canola oil on intimal-to-medial thickness (IMT) of Thoracic aorta in high-fat diet rats. Material and Method: A total of 27 rats were divided into 3 groups, the K+, P1, and P2. Rats among the three groups were given a high-fat diet for 14 days, accompanied by consumption of canola oil without heating in the P1, and with repeated heating in the P2. Thoracic aorta was taken on the 15th day and then processed into histological preparations. IMT was measured using CellSens software on a microscope with a magnification of 400. The difference between groups was tested using the one-way ANOVA test on SPSS. Result: The mean and standard deviations of each group in a row were K+ (134.96 and 21.27) P1(132.04 and 27.30) and P2 (152.05 and 31.75). There was no significant difference in IMT between groups (p >0.05). However, the P2 group showed the highest mean of IMT. Conclusion: The consumption of canola oil with or without repeated heating did not result in the changes of the IMT in rats fed with a high-fat diet.

Abstract

Highlights: 1.    Prolonged interruptions and delays that accompany the COVID-19 pandemic have further increased the spread of STH in high-transmission areas.2.    Adaptations carried out in the context of a pandemic are able to strengthen efforts to sustain deworming programs based on primary health facilities and their integration into community-based platforms.3.    Community-based WASH activities must be continued by adjusting WASH messages to focus on preventing the transmission of COVID-19. Abstract: Background: Interruptions and postponements are influencing people's desire for soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH) services as all countries are fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. The risk of spreading STH in high-transmitting areas increases with increased disturbance. Indonesia is a compatible host country for STH because it is a tropical country. The STH impacts the population's nutrient status and disturbs their cognitive processes. Objective: To describe the issue and how best efforts had been made to mitigate the possibility of a resurgence of intestinal worms during the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Material and Method: Search for the most recent articles in a database of research in January 2022 on Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed. Qualifying articles were then extracted and synthesized qualitatively. Discussion: The interference and postponement of the deworming control program due to COVID-19 had a tentative effect on the progress of achieving the elimination of STH as a public health problem by 2030. Conclusion: Best practices show that revitalization efforts to control STH by strengthening integrated interventions and collaborations through the expansion of POPM, PHBS, and STBM in line with COVID-19 prevention efforts with mitigation innovations shifting from controlling morbidity to terminate the transmission of STH.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. There are differences in the result of the use of glucosamine and the increase of intraocular pressure.2. There are many other factors that may contribute to the increase in the intraocular pressure other than the use of glucosamine such as races, genetics, different dose, and duration of glucosamine use. Abstract: Background: Glucosamine is an amino monosaccharide that can directly stimulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in the cartilage. It has been widely used as an osteoarthritis treatment. However, several literatures show the possible side effects of glucosamine, such as increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if there was any correlation between the use of glucosamine and the increase in IOP. Material and Method: This was a descriptive qualitative study that implied a systematic review design. The study sample consisted of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and glaucoma in Iran, Indonesia, Thailand, the USA, and India between 2013 and 2018. The literature search was conducted on a database (PubMed and Google Scholar) and selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discussion: The research identified 5 studies on the use of glucosamine and the increase of IOP. Two articles provide significant results on the correlation between the use of glucosamine and the increase of IOP (P < 0.05). In addition, two studies showed significant IOP reduction outcomes after discontinuation of glucosamine (P < 0.05). A case series indicated an increase in IOP during the 6th month of glucosamine use but still at normal value. Conclusion: Many other factors contribute to IOP growth, other than the use of glucosamine. Therefore, a large-scale randomized clinical trial or a multicentre cohort study using the same parameters is still needed to improve the quality of the subsequent systematic review

Abstract

Highlights: 1. The Child-Pugh score is an instrument to assess the degree of severity and prognosis of chronic liver disease. 2. the rise in APRI score may predict the advance of cirrhosis stages. Abstract: Background: Simple diagnostic and screening methods are needed to assist with liver biopsy, which is not always available in local health facilities. Objective: To assess the AST-to-Platelet Count Index (APRI) as a means to predict the advance of cirrhosis stages as indicated in Child-Pugh classification. Material and Method: This research employed an observational descriptive study design to examine laboratory values such as serum AST and platelet count, which were then compared to Child-Pugh profiles among cirrhosis patients at an inpatient facility in a tertiary hospital of Dr Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia on 1 January – 31 December 2015. The sampling method for this research was total sampling from medical histories. Result: Data obtained were then analyzed and tabulated using the descriptive technique. As many as 191 samples were obtained, consisting of male (N=129, 67.54%) and female patients (N=62, 32.46%) with a ratio of 2.08:1. APRI score showed an increase in age, with a peak frequency of 68 patients (35.6%) in the range 50-59 years old. Male patients had a higher average APRI score (2.11) than their female counterparts (1.93). Patients from Child C were the majority in this research, consisting of 105 patients (54.9%), followed by Child B (N=65, 34.03%) and A (N=21, 10.9%). Conclusion: The proportion of patients with APRI score > 1.5 is increasing along with the degree of severity according to the Child-Pugh classification. This indicates that the rise in APRI score may predict the advance of cirrhosis stages.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. The major risk factors for type I endometrial cancer, namely age and obesity, play a major role in the increase in this case and are thought to be related to the grade in these cancer patients.2. Type I endometrial cancer patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital 2019-2020 are dominated by patients diagnosed at the age of 56-65 years, having an overweight body mass index (23-24.9 kg/m2).3. The patient's age and body mass index did not correlate with endometrial cancer type I grade. Abstract Background: The increase in obesity and life expectancy has contributed to type I endometrial cancer cases worldwide. Increased risk factors play a role in the increase of these cases. Objectives: To determine the relationship between age and BMI with the cancer grade. Material and Method: This research was a cross-sectional study. The data were obtained from the patient’s medical records. The sampling technique was total sampling. The analysis used was Spearman Rho correlation test for the relationship between age and BMI with cancer grade. Results: This study recorded 54 patients with type I endometrial cancer in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from 2019 to 2020. The patients were from the age group 56-65 years 25 patients (46.30%), 46-55 years 17 patients (31.48%), 36-45 years 8 patients (14.81%), 26-35 years 2 patients (3.7%), and >65 years 2 patients (3.7%). For BMI, the patients were overweight (23-24.9 kg/m2) 21 patients (38.89%), normal (18.5-22.9 kg/m2) 14 patients (25.93%), obesity (25-29.9 kg/m2) 12 patients (22.22%), and obesity II (≥30 kg/m2) 7 patients (12.96%). For grade, grade III were 22 patients (40.75%), grade II  20 patients (37.04%), and grade I 12 patients (22.22%). There was a weak, insignificant positive correlation between age with grade (ρ=0.116, 0.405>α=0.05) and a weak, insignificant negative correlation between BMI with grade (ρ=-0.206, 0.135>α=0.05). Conclusion: A total of 54 patients with type I endometrial cancer at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from 2019-2020 aged 56-65 years and overweight (23-24.9 kg/m2) with grade III cancer.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. Bile consumption, especially goat bile, is believed to have therapeutic effects even though it contains harmful ingredients that can cause toxic effects on the liver2. The administration of goat bile for 28 days had a toxic effect on the liver of the mice based on histopathological findings Abstract: Background: Bile consumption by Indonesians is believed to have therapeutic effects, especially goat bile. Goat bile is thought to contain harmful ingredients that can cause toxic effects on the liver. However, the 28-days oral toxicity study of goat bile has not been performed. Objective: To analyze the hepatotoxic effect of subchronic administration of goat bile on the liver of mice (Mus musculus). Material and Method: This was an experimental research with a post-test-only control group design. The samples used were 32 Balb/C mice (Mus musculus), which were grouped into 4 groups. The samples were administered with goat bile orally (3.2, 6.4, or 12.8 mL/kg/day) for 28 days. The liver was taken for histopathological examination and the hepatocytes injury score was performed. The scoring results were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Spearman correlation tests (p<0.05). Result: Goat bile administration was associated with hepatocyte injury (p= 0.004). Groups with goat bile administration of 6.4 and 12.8 mL/kg/day had significant differences with the control group (p= .015 and .029 respectively) and the 3.2 mL/kg/day administered group (p= 0.006 and 0.009 respectively). Moreover, the increased administration of goat bile had a positive correlation with the level of hepatocyte injury (p= 0.004 and r_s= 0.504) Conclusion: Goat bile administration for 28 days had a significant toxic effect on the liver of mice at a dose of 6.4 mL/kg/day.
