Abstract

Abstract: Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and heterogeneous tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues. While surgical resection remains the primary treatment, not all patients are eligible for surgery, particularly in advanced stages. Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoemboli zation (DEB-TACE) is a promising therapeutic option for such cases. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of DEB-TACE in 30 patients with advanced STS at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, from 2020 to 2023. The overall response rate (ORR) was 76.7% (p<0.05), with five patients achieving complete response and 18 showing partial response. The main adverse reactions included post-embolization syndrome (fever, pain, nausea, vomiting) and grade II or higher bone marrow suppression. Despite a morbidity rate of 93.3%, no treatment-related mortality was observed. In conclusion, DEB-TACE is an effective and safe treatment for advanced STS, providing superior short-term efficacy compared to traditional systemic chemotherapy. Keywords: soft tissue sarcoma; drug eluting bead; transarterial chemoembolization

Abstract

Abstract: Several implant materials for cranioplasty have been studied, including autologous bone, titanium mesh, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Titanium mesh is believed to have excellent biocompatibility, low cost, and satisfactory cosmetic effects, especially in three-dimensional (3D) custom-made meshes. We reported a 54-year-old man complaining of open wound in his left temporoparietal region since a month. Blood tests showed leukocytosis. Patient was diagnosed as scalp infection with previous cranioplasty using bone cement on temporoparietal region. The patient underwent scalp reconstruction with skin flap, removing skin defect, and split thickness skin graft (STSG) from left thigh. Patient was provided with outpatient medication consisting of analgesics and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Follow-up assessment 14 days after surgery did not reveal any secondary infections on titanium mesh implant and skin flap. The main complications of cranioplasty, in addition to the studied aesthetic results, are represented by the risk of infection, postoperative hematoma, impaired wound healing, as well as prolonged failure due to transplant absorption or infection, as a result of which the prosthesis needs to be removed. In conclusion, titanium mesh is still a better choice of material for cranioplasty in many factors such as price, accessibility, infection rate, and biocompatibility Keywords: scalp; cranioplasty; head injury; prosthesis

Abstract

Abstract: Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common surgical procedure to treat pain and dysfunction in the knee joint due to osteoarthritis. Two techniques that are often used are cruciate retaining (CR) and posterior stabilized (PS). This study aimed to compare the range of movement (ROM) between the two techniques. This was a comparative study with prospective cohort design conducted at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital. A total of 100 patients undergoing TKR were included, consisting of 12 patients with CR technique and 88 patients with knee PS. ROM technique was measured using goniometer. Statistical analysis used the Mann-Whitney test and linear regression. The results showed that the median age of patients was 66 years dominated by women (77%). There were no significant differences in ROM of knee flexion and extension between CR and PS techniques (p>0.05). Regression analysis showed that the PS technique tended to have a lower ROM than CR (6-7° for knee flexion), but statistically meaningless. The patient's age had a meaningful negative relationship with post-TKR ROM. In conclusion, the CR and PS techniques provide equivalent ROM results in post-TKR patients. The selection of techniques can be adjusted to the operator's expertise, the availability of implants, and hospital facilities. Follow-up research with longer duration and multi-flashlights is needed to evaluate long-term outcomes.    Abstrak: Total knee replacement (TKR) merupakan prosedur bedah yang umum dilakukan untuk mengatasi nyeri dan disfungsi pada sendi lutut akibat osteoartritis. Dua teknik yang sering digunakan yaitu cruciate retaining (CR) dan posterior stabilized (PS). Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan range of movement (ROM) antara kedua teknik tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan studi komparatif dengan desain kohort prospektif yang dilakukan di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Sebanyak 100 pasien yang menjalani TKR diikutsertakan, terdiri dari 12 pasien dengan teknik CR dan 88 pasien dengan teknik PS. ROM lutut diukur menggunakan goniometer. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney dan regresi linear. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan median usia pasien ialah 66 tahun didominasi perempuan (77%). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada ROM fleksi dan ekstensi lutut antara teknik CR dan PS (p>0,05). Analisis regresi menunjukkan teknik PS cenderung memiliki ROM lebih rendah dibandingkan CR (6-7° untuk fleksi lutut), namun secara statistik tidak bermakna. Usia pasien memiliki hubungan negatif yang bermakna dengan ROM pasca TKR. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah teknik CR dan PS memberikan hasil ROM yang ekuivalen pada pasien pasca TKR. Pemilihan teknik dapat disesuaikan dengan keahlian operator, ketersediaan implan, dan fasilitas rumah sakit. Penelitian lanjutan dengan durasi lebih panjang dan multi-senter diperlukan untuk mengevaluasi hasil jangka panjang. Kata kunci: total knee replacement; cruciate retaining; posterior stabilized; range of movement

Abstract

Abstract: Kidney stones represent a significant health burden globally, with a high risk of recurrence. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the primary treatment option for kidney stones larger than 20 mm, offering superior outcomes compared to open surgery. Several scoring systems, including Guy’s Stone Score (GSS), S.T.O.N.E. Nephrolithometry Score, Resorlu Unsal Stone Score (RUSS), and Seoul Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC), have been developed to predict the Stone-Free Rate (SFR) following PCNL. However, the comparative effectiveness of these scoring systems remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the predictive accuracy of GSS, S.T.O.N.E., RUSS, and S-ReSC scoring systems in determining SFR after PCNL. This was an analytical and retrospective study. Data were collected from 60 patients with kidney stones treated at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from January to December 2023. Patients underwent PCNL, and preoperative non-contrast CT scans and postoperative plain abdominal X-rays were used for evaluation. Statistical analyses included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate tests, as well as ROC curve analysis. The results showed that all four scoring systems were statistically significant in predicting SFR (p<0.005). The RUSS score demonstrated the highest predictive value, with an odds ratio 20 times higher than without scoring. The ROC analysis showed AUC values of 0.792 for GSS, 0.913 for RUSS, 0.694 for S-ReSC, and 0.945 for S.T.O.N.E. These findings highlight significant relationships between stone complexity scores and SFR, emphasizing their utility in surgical planning. In conclusion, each scoring system has significant predictive value for SFR following PCNL. Among them, RUSS showed the highest reliability, followed by S.T.O.N.E. and GSS. Despite differences in focus, all scores contribute to treatment planning and patient management. Further research is needed to optimize these tools and integrate them with advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques for personalized patient care.

Abstract

Abstract: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disorder that can be exacerbated by various factors, one of which is stress. Medical students are considered a group highly susceptible to stress due to demanding academic pressures, which potentially increase their risk of developing GERD. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of stress and the risk of GERD among students of the Medical Study Program at Universitas Tarumanagara. The study employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 135 respondents were selected using cluster random sampling. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the GERD Questionnaire (GERD-Q). Bivariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that 80% of respondents experienced mild to moderate stress, and 20% experienced severe stress. Additionally, 19.3% of respondents were at risk of GERD. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between stress and GERD risk (p=0.019), with a prevalence risk ratio (PRR) of 2.5, indicating that students experiencing severe stress were 2.5 times more likely to develop GERD compared to those with mild to moderate stress. In conclusion, high stress levels significantly contribute to an increased risk of GERD among medical students. Therefore, interventions such as stress management and healthy lifestyle education should be implemented to reduce the incidence of GERD in this population.
