Abstract

Plasma-related technologies are essential in modern industries. Recently, plasma has attracted increasedattention in the biomedical field. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is widely used for various therapeuticapplications in health care. Particularly in dentistry, this paper supplies an essential knowledge of plasmaand a narrative review of plasma uses in restorative dentistry. There have been efforts to use NTP technologyin restorative dentistry involving modifications of dental surfaces, adhesion, treatment of dental caries, andtooth bleaching. Although various investigations were in the recent stages, the prospective value of NTPfor dental uses has been occured. To extende the scope of plasma approaches and put suitable research topractical use, interdisciplinary research with the participation of dental professionals is recommended.

Abstract

Hypokalemiaperiodic paralysis (HPP) is a rare disorder characterized by acute muscle paralysis. Basedon its etiology, HPP can be classified as primary and secondary types. One of the most common causes ofsecondary HPP is renal tubular acidosis (RTA) which may be also present in thyroid disease. We observed acase of a 48-year-old female, with complaints of weakness in both lower extremities for two days. Difficultiesin walking and weakness in both arms were also present. Patient also experienced nausea, vomiting, anddiarrhea 4 days before coming to the hospital. She had a history of thyroidectomy in 2009 and in 2019 wasadmitted for similar symptoms. Medication consumed by the patient were Euthyrox 100 mg one time dailyand KSR 600 mg three times daily. In the last week, Euthyrox was discontinued by the patient due to herdiarrhea. The patient’s general condition was weak and vital signs were BP 120/80 mmHg, pulse 84 bpm, RR18 times per minute and temperature was 36.6°C. Motoric strength was 4/4 in both arms and 3/3 in both legs.No pathological neurological reflexes were found during examination. Inverted T wave and prominent Uwave were seen on electrocardiogram (ECG) results.Laboratory results showed hypokalemia (2.0 mmol/L),Blood Gas Analysis: Metabolic Acidosis (pH 7.42, pCO2 32 mmHg, HCO3 20.8 mmol/L, BE -3.7 mmol/L)with anion gap of 14.2 meq/L. Urinalysis results were pH 8, urinary anion gap 18.29 mmol/h. Decreasedthyroid function was also shown in the endocrine laboratory panel FT4 0.57 ng/dl and TSH 32.097 IU/mL.HPP is a disorder characterized by muscle weakness and may be present in distal type RTA. Clinicalsymptoms of distal type RTA are hypokalemia, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, urinary pH <5.5. Distaltype RTA can be caused by endocrine disorder i.e., hypothyroidism. Observation of patient condition andlaboratory results lead to the conclusion that the patient is diagnosed with hypokalemic periodic paralysisand renal tubular acidosis based on hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap, and alkalineurine with positive urinary anion gap.

Abstract

Coronary artery fistula is a rare anomaly of coronary artery. It represents connection between one or more ofcoronary arteries and cardiac chamber or great vessel. It can also cause significant hemodynamic changes. Toreport cases of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) fistula to main pulmonary artery (MPA) withconcomitant triple vessel disease.Case 1 was 59-year old male presented with intermittent chest discomfortfor a year. Echocardiogram showed severe MR with cleft at A1 and A2 and coronary angiogram resultshowed LAD fistulation to MPA. Case 2 was 57-year old male presented with chest discomfort and at the leftshoulder. Echocardiogram showed trivial MR and coronary angiogram showed triple vessel disease alongwith tortuous fistulation of LAD to MPA. Both patients underwent teflonpledget-reinforced direct suturingof fistula origin and 3-grafts coronary artery bypass graft. Patient no 1 also underwent mitral annuloplastyand valvuloplasty.Post-operative period was uneventful and both patients were discharged after 17 days and5 days respectively. Short term follow-up showed improvement of symptoms and no residual fistulation.Inshort term follow-up teflonpledget-reinforced direct suturing of coronary fistula origin result satisfactory.Larger study and further follow up is necessary.

Abstract

Background & Objective: The screening of reproductive health plays an essential role of early detectionof reproductive health disorder. There was a study which suggested that there was at least one congenitaldisorder every 100 live births. The Congenital reproductive disorder are mostly found in type of hypospadias,enlarged clitoris, micropenis, fusion of labia majora, and genital ambiguity. Data collected in Saiful AnwarGeneral Hospital revealed that period of 2012-2017 there were 109 hypospadias cases, 64 undescendedtesticle cases, and 80 cases of testicular torsion. However, for the Disorders of Sex Development cases, therewere found 12 cases from period of 2015-2017, with mean age was school age (8-14 years old). Unfortunately,there was no data of congenital reproductive disorder in toddlers, thus we conducted screening of toddlersreproductive health in PosyanduMatahari which located in Malang, East Java, Indonesia in order to find outthe number of incidence of toddlers congenital reproductive disorder and held the early detection.Materials & Methods: This is observational descriptive study. Screening was held in PosyanduMatahariwhich located in GedungSerbagunaRw. 14, Bunulrejo, Jodipan, Blimbing, Malang, in October 27, 2018. Itused method of physical examination (age, weight, height, external genital examination), and if it was foundsuspicious of disease or disorder of toddler congential reproductive health, thus it would be given referral toappropriate health careResults: This screening event involved 46 toddlers (1-5 years old). From 46 toddlers, there were 14 toddlers(30.43%), 10 toddlers suffered from Phimosis (21.74%), 1 toddler with Hydrocele (2.17%), dan 3 toddlerssuffered from UDT (6.52), who were referred to urology clinic in Saiful Anwar General Hospital to undergofurther examination and treatment.Conclusion:The incidence of toddlers reproductive disorder of this event was 30,43%, showed that thisage group (1-5 years old) had significant amount of congenital reproductive disorder and screening playedimportant role for early detection and improving parental knowledge to prevent the delay of treatment forreproductive disorder.

Abstract

Contraceptive devices and medicine have a very strategic value in supporting family planning operations.This study therefore aims to determine the trend of contraceptive need and usein Dayak societies, andanalyze the supply chain as well as the management of contraceptives required to fullfill this need. Theresearch design used a case study, and qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews supported bysecondary data. Meanwhile, quantitative data were collected through questionnaire survey, and data analysiswas performed using the triangulation method. Subsequently, the results of qualitative data analysis werecombined with the results of quantitative data analysis to acquire final conclusions. In Dayak societies,injections are the contraceptive form most required and used by people in the local community (30.21%).Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between need and use of contraceptives (Sig. = 0.000). Thedemand for contraceptives is based on the remaining stock at the health center, as well as the community’srequest. During the acceptance process, the quality, quantity, and type of contraceptives are checked, andcounseling is provided, especially for new acceptors. Meanwhile, the suitability of the contraceptive storageconditions at the health center was discovered to be 61.46%, compared to the standard. Currently, supportingmanagement isnot run optimally, especially in terms of formulatingan operating standard procedure, aswell as monitoring, evaluating, and implementing training.Thus, the availability of contraceptives at thesupplier and local community’s need for contraceptives are taken into consideration and as a strategy formanaging contraceptives in the Primary Health Care of Dayak societies, in order to ensure the availabilityof contraceptives at Puskesmas and fullfill the contraceptive needs of Dayak societies.
