Abstract

Myxomas are benign cardiac tumors that are mostly found in the left atrium. We present a case of a 20-year-old male patient who presented with worsening dyspnea and signs of right heart failure. The echocardiography shows an untreated giant intracardiac mass in a rare place in the right ventricle, obstructing the blood flow, and massive pericardial effusion. We do a pericardiocentesis first to manage the pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was done in different normal locations due to ascites permagna. Nevertheless, our patient needs emergency surgical excision as soon as possible to prevent sudden death caused by obstruction, embolic, and other complications.

Abstract

Obesity is the accumulation of excess fat due to an imbalance in energy intake with the energy used by the body. Obesity can be differentiated based on the distribution of fat into 2, namely central obesity, which is also called "apple shape obesity" or "android obesity", which is more often found in men, and peripheral obesity which is also called "gynecoid obesity" or "peer shape obesity", which is more often found in women. Some of the risk factors for obesity such as genetics, socioeconomic status, environment, and psychology. This study aims to determine the characteristics of obese patients who seek treatment at RSUD Dr. H. Chasan Boesoirie Ternate in 2019. This study used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional method with a total sample was 95 medical record data for obese patients. This study used secondary data from medical records of obese patients at RSUD Dr. H. Chasan Boesoirie Ternate in 2019. Characteristics of diseases in obese patients at RSUD Dr. H. Chasan Boesoirie Ternate in 2019 were found to be 20-60 years 75 people (80%), women 69 people (72.6%), work as housewives 54 people (56.8%), the level of high school education was 36 people (37.9%), obesity I 68 people (71.6%), and the type of type 2 diabetes mellitus 46 people (48.4%).

Abstract

Introduction: COPD is a leading cause of chronic disease and death globally, with high mortality rates for those hospitalized or requiring mechanical ventilation. Delaying disease progression and improving patient outcomes can reduce healthcare costs and societal impact. Respiratory muscles play a crucial role in COPD, and specific endurance respiratory exercises have been shown to improve muscle fibers and mitochondrial activity, reducing oxidative stress and fatigue. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) is a recommended pulmonary rehabilitation technique that enhances lung capacity and improves exercise performance by altering muscle fiber types and distribution. The impact of IMT implemented in COPD remains unclear. This scoping review aims to ascertain the impact IMT has on COPD patients. Methods: A scoping review was performed in PubMed, Academic Search Complete/EBCSCO, and Grey Literature sources, including Google Scholar. IMT studies evaluating interventions for COPD patients that were published in 2018-2023 were included. Results: We reviewed 644 studies, nine IMT interventions met inclusion criteria and were included in the current study. In the majority of studies, improvements were noted through the implementation of IMT interventions. Several facilitators and barriers were noted during implementation and contributed to the success or failure of the intervention. Conclusion: Overall, IMT had conflicting effects on a variety of COPD patient outcomes. Numerous studies demonstrate, however, that IMT can improve COPD-related outcomes, such as respiratory muscle function, dyspnea symptoms, quality of life, autonomic function, exercise tolerance, diaphragmatic strength and reduced exertional dyspnea, and balance.

Abstract

Introduction: Salmonella infections contribute significantly to gastroenteritis cases, with the National Salmonella Reference Laboratory reporting 500 isolates in 2022. However, traditional culture-based methods for detecting Salmonella in samples can take 4 to 7 days to confirm a positive result, which poses health risks due to delayed detection. Given these health risks, swift and accurate detection methods are essential to minimize both false-positive and false-negative outcomes. Salmonella, a gram-negative bacterium within the Enterobacteriaceae family, demonstrates remarkable hardiness, surviving for several weeks in dry environments and months in water. Although most serotypes of Salmonella cause relatively mild gastroenteritis, some, particularly those transmitted from animals to humans, can lead to severe, life-threatening conditions Methods: The qRT-PCR procedure involved the design of primers and probes targeting the same genes as the mPCR assay. These primer sets were reconfigured to generate smaller amplicons suitable for qRT-PCR systems Results: qRT-PCR process, TaqMan probes were meticulously designed for specific target genes: FAM dye was employed to detect STM2745, Cy5 dye was used for STM4492, and Rox dye was utilized to detect. A standard curve was constructed using Typhimurium LT2 genomic DNA. Each sample underwent duplicate analysis, and Rotor-Gene software was employed to assign threshold values for each channel. Conclusion: The effectiveness of our qPCR assay for the detection of Salmonella across a diverse array of matrices. Notably, our results unveiled distinct limits of detection for Salmonella in various samples. Specifically, a parallel vein, the deployment of a PCR assay, leveraging an immunomagnetic separation technique for DNA extraction, was studied by another group. While subsequent analysis of Salmonella detected via our assay may necessitate the full ISO SMT method for live culture isolation, this supplementary step can be seamlessly conducted alongside qRT-PCR.

Abstract

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme in erythrocytes that functions to maintain glycolysis, form an erythrocyte membrane, and protect hemoglobin from oxidative denaturation. Clinical manifestations of anemia and severe jaundice are risk factors for acute hyperbilirubinemia encephalopathy, which can progress to kernicterus. G6PD deficiency is X-linked. The incidence is most common in males with an incidence in Indonesia of 1-14%. A 3-day-old male baby appeared yellowish and had a history of being pale since 1 day of age. There was a history of phototherapy and packed red blood cell transfusion from a previous hospital. The baby was born via caesarean section, term baby, with a birth weight of 2700 grams. The Physical examination revealed Kramer V, tachypnea, but no hepatosplenomegaly. A previous laboratory examination at AM Hospital showed total bilirubin of 23.3 mg/dL, indirect bilirubin 23 mg/dL, and pre-transfusion hemoglobin 9.8 g/dL. Chest X-rays revealed grade I–II hyaline membrane disease. Meanwhile, the laboratory test results at the Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital showed a total bilirubin of 38.5 mg/dL, indirect bilirubin 37.17 mg/dL, reticulocytes 9.95%, hemoglobin 11.8 g/dL, CRP 5.2 mg/L, Procalcitonin 0.5 ng/mL, and a negative Coombs test. The peripheral blood smear showed fragmented cells of erythrocytes. The G6PD level was 17.2 U/dL (reference value >20.5 U/dL). The patient received low-flow oxygenation, antibiotics, and 72 hours of intensive phototherapy. On the 7th day of treatment, the condition improved, and the baby was discharged. Therefore, Rapid diagnosis and treatment of G6PD deficiency are important to prevent other potential complication such as acute hyperbilirubinemia encephalopathy.
