Abstract

Hair coloring is the act of changing the hair color, which has been known since the times of Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient China, and India. At that time, the colors used that came from plants were called vegetable dyes or traditional dyes, where the coloring was done to change the original hair color or to cover gray hair and follow the existing trends. Natural dyes are not only used as medicine but can also be used as cosmetic dyes. One of the natural ingredients that can be used to make hair dye preparations is the skin of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus Polyrhizus). In general, dragon fruit skin is rarely used properly, even thrown away when finished) It's just that many people don't know how to use it, thus increasing the amount of waste from dragon fruit skin.

Abstract

Esophageal achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disorder characterized by loss of esophageal peristalsis and partial or no relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in response to swallowing. As a result, there is a functional obstruction at the level of the gastroesophageal junction, resulting in impaired esophageal emptying. Most of the patients experienced severe dysphagia, regurgitation, and weight loss, which affected their quality of life. Achalasia is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 100,000 individuals. However, recent data suggest that prevalence is at least two to three times greater than previously estimated. Achalasia occurs in men and women with equal frequency, with a peak in the 30th and 60th decades of age. The etiology of esophageal achalasia is unknown, and treatment is focused on the palliation of symptoms by eliminating resistance at the level of the gastroesophageal junction.

Abstract

Kartagener syndrome (KS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a clinical triad of situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. Impaired ciliary motility due to abnormal ciliary structure or function is the main pathophysiological problem in KS. A 38-year-old woman presented to our outpatient clinic with a productive cough, fever, and shortness of breath for 1 month. She has had recurrent episodes of respiratory tract infections since childhood. Clinical investigations revealed situs inversus, sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. She was diagnosed with KS and treated with antibiotics, mucolytics, bronchodilators, and chest physiotherapy. Patients with KS present with chronic recurrent respiratory tract infections due to ineffective mucociliary clearance. Early diagnosis is important to improve prognosis. The main goals in the management of KS are to prevent the progression of the disease, preserve pulmonary function, and improve quality of life.

Abstract

Congenital preauricular fistula is a malformation of the six auditory hillocks during the development of the auricle when an imperfect fusion of the first arch tuberculum to other tuberculums occurs and generates a tract. The difficulty in the surgical treatment for preauricular fistulas is the high recurrence rate. Surgical techniques were developed and modified to reduce the recurrence rate. This study aimed to describe a recurrent preauricular fistula and its treatment. A 7-year-old patient came to the otorhinolaryngology clinic with complaints of recurrent swelling and discharge on the left preauricular region. Initially, there was only a small hole at the base of the left ear since birth. A thick white discharge appeared and disappeared for 3 months. The lesion was itchy, and the patient frequently scratched it so that the area around the hole became red, swollen, and painful. The patient had undergone surgery for the same complaint in 2016 with a simple fistulectomy. Oral antibiotics were given and planned for fistulectomy under general anesthesia. Evaluation until 3 months postoperatively showed good surgical wounds and non-recurrent infections. In conclusion, the supra-auricula approach had a significantly lower recurrence rate than the sinusectomy approach, and was recommended to make it the standard primary procedure for preauricular sinus excision besides its use in recurrent cases.

Abstract

Obesity can result in the secretion of proinflammatory mediators, which can result in vitamin D deficiency and decreased muscle mass. Good muscle mass is necessary for a good quality of life in obese children. This study aimed to determine the relationship between vitamin D levels and muscle mass in obese children. The average muscle mass in obese children is 15.04 kg. As many as 24.4% of children have normal muscle mass levels, while 75.6% of obese children have low muscle mass. This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 86 research subjects participated in this study. Measurement of muscle mass and vitamin D levels was carried out in this study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 using univariate and bivariate methods. The average vitamin D level was 26.65 ng/mL. As many as 69.8% of obese children had normal vitamin D levels, while 30.2% had low levels of vitamin D. In conclusion, there is no relationship between vitamin D levels and muscle mass in obese children.

Abstract

Ileus is described as a complication after the use of regular anti-diarrheal agents, such as loperamide. In children, loperamide is not recommended as a regular treatment for acute diarrhea. This case report aimed to elaborate on the cases of Ileus as a side effect of anti-diarrheal drug use in children and to signify parents' education role in cases of malnutrition. In this study, a-7-year old boy came with symptoms of increasingly severe abdominal pain, distended abdomen, and difficulty defecating in the last 3 days after consumption of anti-diarrheal drugs by his parents within 6 months. The patient has a poor history of food consumption. Clinical investigations revealed anemia, leukocytosis, underweight, short stature, and local ileus. He was diagnosed with Ileus and malnutrition and treated with fluid therapy, antibiotics, and blood transfusion and was consulted by a pediatric surgeon. In conclusion, the use of anti-diarrheal agents should be avoided in connection with their safety for children and the complications that can arise. Parental knowledge plays an important role in preventing malnutrition in children.

Abstract

Infertility can be defined as a married couple who have not experienced pregnancy for one year, after having regular intercourse 2-3 times a week and without using any preventive methods. There are two types of infertility, namely primary infertility and secondary infertility. Primary infertility is when the wife has never been pregnant even though she has had intercourse without contraception and is faced with the possibility of pregnancy for twelve months. Secondary infertility is when the wife has been pregnant before, but then there is no further pregnancy even though she has had intercourse without contraception and is faced with the possibility of pregnancy for twelve months. Causes of infertility can be divided into three groups. One-third of related problems in women, one-third in men, and one-third are caused by a combination of factors. Infertility in women can be caused by problems with the vagina, cervix uteri, fallopian tubes, uterus, or ovaries. This literature review aimed to describe the definitions, types, and current management of infertility in women.

Abstract

Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) is an uncommon and life-threatening bleeding condition in infancy. This study aimed to present a case of bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency in neonates. A 7-day-old male infant presented to an emergency department (ED) following bleeding from an umbilical stump for 3 hours upon arrival at the hospital. On examination of the general condition, the patient is in good health, responsive, conscious and active tonus. Physical examination revealed there were no petechiae, purpura, or ecchymoses. On the abdomen region, there was minimal bleeding in an umbilical area with periumbilical hemorrhagic crusting. Intense palpation revealed mild tenderness near the periumbilical area. When the umbilical area was palpated deeply, a thin, watery blood fluid oozed out. The results of routine blood laboratory examinations showed within normal limits (Hb 12 g/dL, leukocytes 6.9x103/μL, and platelets 150x10³/μL). This patient was diagnosed with bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency. The management given is in the form of a subcutaneous injection of vitamin K 10 mg for 3 days. After administration of the third injection, the patient's condition improves, and the umbilical hemorrhage subsides.

Abstract

mineralization. This case report aims to present a patient with calcipenic rickets, which are accompanied by hypercoagulability, hypokalemia, and secondary amenorrhea. In this case, a woman, 21 years old, unmarried, living outside the city of Palembang, came to the endocrine polyclinic with complaints of leg pain, making it difficult to walk along with growth retardation. In addition, there is a lump on the right arm and left knee that does not enlarge, height and weight do not increase, and both legs are bent. Based on physical examination, the general condition looked moderately ill, with vital signs within normal limits, body weight 26 kg, height 123 cm, and body mass index 17.8 kg/cm2. In the superior extremity, a 2-3 cm mass was found in the right humerus. In the lower extremities, there was a mass measuring 3 cm in the left lateral genu, supple and easy to move, with no pain. On examination of genital maturity, Tanner 2 was found. Laboratory evaluation results at the first visit to the endocrine clinic showed increased fibrinogen, d-dimer level, parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase. In addition, there was a decrease in calcium, potassium, vitamin D-25 OH, phosphorus, growth hormone, and anti-Mullerian hormone. Bone age examination shows bone age according to girls aged 15 years. The patient was diagnosed with calcigenic type rickets with hypercoagulability, hypokalemia, and secondary amenorrhea. Initial management is given calcium 500-4000 g/day, potassium 40-100 mEq/24 hours, warfarin 2 mg/24 hours, acetylsalicylic acid 80 mg/24 hours, vitamin D 1000 mg/24 hours, CaCO3 500 mg/8 hours, potassium chloride 600 mg/12 hours. In conclusion, cases of rickets are quite rare and require further examination to establish a diagnosis.

Abstract

Cardiomyopathy is defined as a disease of the myocardium that can cause cardiac dysfunction. The complication of this condition usually can manifest in heart failure, arrhythmia, and even sudden death. This study will describe a rare case of cardiomyopathy with acute rheumatic fever in children. In this study, a girl aged 11 years and 2 months with no history of heart disease was admitted to the hospital with congestive heart failure due to cardiomyopathy and acute rheumatic fever. Acute rheumatic fever is diagnosed based on the presence of carditis, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and positive antistreptolysin titer-O (ASTO). Cardiomyopathy is diagnosed by echocardiography. The prognosis of this patient is poor due to poor left ventricular function. In conclusion, patients with clinical features of ARF/RHD should be promptly treated and referred for definite diagnosis and long-term management to limit the extent of heart damage.
