Abstract

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 0.7% of deaths worldwide, or 500,000 deaths worldwide each year, are caused by drowning. Drowning is the leading cause of death worldwide in boys aged 5-14. In the United States, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death among children ages 1 to 4 years, with an average death rate of 3 per 1000 people. Based on the latest definition from WHO in 2002, drowning is a process of respiratory distress caused by submersion or immersion in liquid. Most drowning victims who drink only a small amount of water usually get better on their own. Less than 6% of drowning victims require hospital treatment. If the drowning victim is rescued as soon as possible, the subsequent drowning process can be prevented, which means it will not be fatal. Objective: To determine the challenges of dignosis of drowning death case at Bhayangkara Pusdik Sabhara Porong Hospital in 2021-2022. Methods: The study used a retrospective descriptive method. The research sample used was medical record data for drowning victims examined at Bhayangkara Pusdik Sabhara Porong Hospital in 2021-2022. Results: The study sample consisted of 5 dead bodies. The autopsy findings of drowning victims are cadaveric spasm, the sign of asphyxia, froth in the mouth/nose, abrasion, washerwoman's hands, enlarged lungs, Paltauf's spots, and froth in the airways. Conclusion: The challenges of diagnosing drowning death case at Bhayangkara Pusdik Sabhara Porong Hospital are mostly the dead bodies found in decomposed stage and unavailability of laboratory data. The diagnosis of drowning based on the results of the examination of signs of asphyxia, cadaveric spasm, and mostly froth was found in the respiratory tract.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 infection can attack all levels of society, including pregnant women, which can impact the babies they give birth to and can increase morbidity & mortality in babies. Objective : This study was conducted descriptively & retrospectively. All the data were collected from inpatient medical records of patients in the COVID-19 neonatal isolation room at RSUD Haji Surabaya from January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2021. Methods: This study is retrospective and descriptive. The total population is all babies treated in the COVID-19 neonatal isolation room at the RSUD Haji Surabaya from January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. Data for all babies were obtained from medical records. Furthermore, the babies are grouped based on the way of birth. Furthermore, the baby's condition is broken down according to the required indicators. Results: Most of the babies of mothers with COVID-19 were born at full term spontaneously. Only three babies were born with severe asphyxia and needed CPR resuscitation and the help of CPAP or neopuff breathing apparatus. Only 4 of the 15 babies with positive PCR results. Conclusion: The vertical transmission of COVID-19 infection from pregnant women to their babies during the intrauterine period is still unclear because not all of these babies were confirmed for COVID-19 (the PCR results for these babies were only four positive). So further research is needed with larger samples and involving flashlights and other sectors related to COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was originally believed to be a rare mental illness. However, recent surveys and research have shown that OCD is one of the most common mental disorders. Research in India showed that the treatment of OCD using SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) is preferred over the tricyclic group. This paper will discuss sertraline as the alternative to clomipramine for OCD. Objective: Clomipramine as the treatment of choice for OCD is no longer included in the Indonesian MIMS index. Recent research suggests sertraline is preferred over clomipramine, and this paper discusses the efficacy of sertraline through a case study. Methods: This study is a retrospective descriptive study on the case of 21-year-old male met the ICD-X criteria of OCD for having unwanted thoughts and repetitive behavior for locking the door and orderly compiling the books. The symptoms developed since he graduated from high school (three years before admission) and got worse since the last year. Sertraline was prescribed in the first place. The patient was routinely monitored during each visit for the next three months. Results: The symptoms improved significantly after routinely taking sertraline for two months. The adverse effects were well-tolerated, such as nausea, headaches, and tachycardia. Psychotherapy was needed to modify the patient’s obsession and to anticipate the risk of personality disorder should be noticed because the disorder appeared at a young age. Conclusion: Sertraline as well as psychotherapy are worthy of consideration as first-line OCD therapy in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many studies are looking for treatment  to suppress viral replication and prevention through vaccination. However, to this day the number of incidences and deaths due to COVID-19 is still increasing. Objective: The purpose of this article is to review theoretically the alleged increase in eosinophils in house dust mite exposure can prevent the severity of COVID-19 symptoms. Methods: This article was compiled through a literature search in reputable international journals by the time 2020-2021. Result: The severity of symptoms that arise due to COVID-19 infection is one of them caused by eosinophenia. On the other hand, the host immune response to house dust mite exposure can increase the number of eosinophils through stimulation of IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF, IL-5 and IL-33. These eosinophils will then express TLR-7 on the cell surface which makes them able to recognize SARS-CoV-2. Stimulation of this eosinophil receptor triggers the production of cytokines, degranulation, superoxide, and nitric oxide (NO) through NO synthase which has a direct antiviral effect. EDN and ECP of human eosinophils can decrease viral infectivity through a ribonuclease-dependent mechanism. Eosinophils are capable of producing extracellular traps composed of eosinophilic granule proteins bound to mitochondrial DNA in response to viral infection in vitro, especially in an oxidative lung tissue environment. Eosinophils also rapidly mobilize granules of Th1 cytokines, including IL-12 and IFN-g which are important for antiviral immune responses. Conclusion: Although available data are still limited, there are indications that eosinophils have a protective effect during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, biological agents such as exposure to house dust mites targeting eosinophils may be useful to help clarify the role of eosinophils in their antiviral response.
