Abstract

Introduction: Anemia is a frequent complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and it causes an increase in morbidity, mortality and accelerates the rate of progression of CKD. Inflammation and impaired kidney clearance increase plasma hepcidin, inhibiting duodenal iron absorption and sequestering iron in macrophages. However, the role of hepcidin in increasing the risk of anemia in children with CKD is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between hepcidin levels and anemia in children with pre-dialysis CKD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital from December 2018 to February 2019. Children with pre-dialysis CKD were enrolled in this study. The subject had no history of erythropoietin administration and blood transfusion 3 months before the blood sample were withdrawn. A complete blood count, ferritin serum, transferrin saturation (TSAT) and hepcidin serum were performed. The correlations between Hepcidin and ferritin level, between ferritin level and anemia, and between TSAT and anemia were analyzed using Spearman correlation and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: A total of 47 children, 27 boys and 20 girls, ranged in age from 3 months to 18 years old. There was a significant correlation between hepcidin and ferritin levels (p=0.006) and the value of the Spearman correlation was r=0.392. While the correlation between ferritin level and anemia showed a significant result, p=0.001. However, TSAT did not show any significant correlation with anemia (p=0.230). Conclusion: There was an indirect association between hepcidin level and anemia by increasing ferritin level that induces anemia in pre-dialysis CKD children.

Abstract

Background: The oral is the gateway for the entry of various kinds of microorganisms into the body, with the prevalence of people having dental and oral problems in Indonesia increasing every year. The normal flora of the oral acts as a body defense, but it can cause disease due to predisposing factors, namely oral hygiene. Therefore, it is necessary to find an alternative in maintaining oral health. Islam is a religion that emphasizes personal hygiene, such as performing ablution. Content: The types of bacteria found in the oral before ablution was 33.33% Pseudomonas sp., 6.67% Lactobacillus sp., 3.33% Streptococcus sp. and 0.14% Staphylococcus sp. while the types of bacteria found in the oral after ablution were 26,8% Pseudomonas sp., 20% Lactobacillus sp., 5% Streptococcus sp. and 2% Staphylococcus sp. Conclusion: There was a change in the number of bacteria, namely an increase in gram-positive bacteria in the oral after ablution.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is still one of the global issues especially in developing countries. Diarrhea can be caused by either an infectious agent or a non-infectious agent. Escherichia coli is one of the infectious agents that is responsible for causing diarrhea. Garlic (Allium sativum) is a plant that has a good antibacterial activity potential because of its organosulfur and phenolic compound. Black garlic is the product of spontaneous fermentation of garlic that has improved its bioactive compounds. Content: Antibacterial potency of black garlic extract on Escherichia coli is shown on the resistance zone that formed where the lowest zone diameter is 9,67 mm while the highest zone is 24 mm. The fermentation of black garlic happened at the temperature of 70-80°C with 75-80% for 28-40 days. Conclusion: Black garlic is shown to exhibit antibacterial activity against bacteria such as Escherichia coli. This fermented product has the potential to be a therapeutic agent for diseases caused by Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Background: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness for over 70 million people worldwide. Bilateral blindness occurs with an estimated 10%. In Indonesia, the prevalence of glaucoma is 0,46%. That means, that 4 to 5 out of 1.000 people suffer from glaucoma. Content: The aim of this study was to analyze four risk factors that can affect the occurrence of glaucoma, namely age factor with diabetes and hypertension history, gender, family medical history, and race. This research used a literature review from 20 journals containing four risk factors for glaucoma. The results showed that diabetes and hypertension are often found in the elderly and that glaucoma symptoms can be exacerbated by increased intraocular pressure. Moreover, glaucoma patient with a positive family medical history of glaucoma has a higher value of intraocular pressure than glaucoma patients without a positive family medical history of glaucoma. Other results showed that men are more at risk because they have a different axial length than women, and Asians are considered riskier than Europeans because Asians’ awareness of eye health is very low. Conclusion: Based on the review, four risk factors could greatly affect the occurrence of glaucoma.

Abstract

Scarlet fever is a term used for an infection caused by a Group a Streptococcal bacteria. The early treatment of scarlet fever is strongly essential either to prevent further spreading of infection or to prevent the risk of complications consisting of peritonsillar and retropharyngeal abscess, sepsis, hepatitis, acute rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, pneumonia, endocarditis, and meningitis. We present a case of scarlet fever with sepsis, hepatitis, and severe acute malnutrition in a 15 year and 6 months old female adolescent. Since the patient had specific clinical features of scarlet fever with continuous fever, sore throat, and productive cough for 4 days, followed by general red maculopapular rash initially from the head and progressively spreading to the rest of her body. The patient was also diagnosed with sepsis, hepatitis, and severe acute malnutrition. Erythromycin, ursodeoxycholic acid, vitamin C, folic acid, and vitamin b complex were given to the patient. Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment are important to prevent other potential complications such as sepsis, abscess, and acute rheumatic fever. Early diagnosis of scarlet fever simultaneously with adequate treatment will prevent the complications of the disease and its spreading among other children

Abstract

Dengue fever is a major global public health challenge in tropical and subtropical countries. The clinical spectrum of dengue infection ranges from mild illness to the life-threatening severe forms of the disease with plasma leakage, severe bleeding, or multi-organ failure, which may be fatal. The term expanded dengue syndrome is used for atypical manifestations of dengue fever. This study presented a case of expanded dengue syndrome with status epilepticus in a 9-month-old boy hospitalized with the chief complaint decreased of consciousness with fever and seizures. From the physical examination, there was a decrease in consciousness with GCS 9 accompanied by fever, ascites, and gastrointestinal bleeding. On laboratory examination, hyponatremia, increased transaminase enzymes, and hypoalbuminemia with positive dengue IgM were found. The patient had specific clinical features of expanded dengue syndrome with status epilepticus the appropriate anti-convulsion, vasopressor, and fluid management was given to the patient. In cases of dengue virus infection, it is important to prevent other potential complications such as expanded dengue syndrome with status epilepticus. Early diagnosis of expanded dengue syndrome simultaneously with adequate treatment will prevent the complications of the disease.
