Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, leading to vision impairment and blindness. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with DR among patients attending a tertiary care center in Padang, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the eye polyclinic of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia, from October 2020 to March 2021. Patients diagnosed with diabetes who underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination were included. Data collected included demographics, duration of diabetes, cholesterol levels, and DR status (classified as non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)). Results: A total of 200 patients with diabetes were included. The prevalence of DR was 55%, with 40% having NPDR and 15% having PDR. Multivariate analysis revealed that longer diabetes duration (odds ratio [OR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2-2.7, p=0.004), higher cholesterol levels (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.1, p=0.001), and older age (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.2, p=0.03) were independently associated with the presence of DR. Conclusion: DR is highly prevalent among diabetic patients in tertiary care center Padang, Indonesia. Longer diabetes duration, elevated cholesterol, and older age are significant risk factors for DR. Early detection and management of these risk factors are crucial to prevent vision loss in this population.

Background: Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder encountered in neurosurgical patients, often associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This case report highlights the importance of recognizing and appropriately managing cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSWS), a rare but important cause of hyponatremia in neurosurgical patients, often following intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Distinguishing CSWS from the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is crucial for appropriate management. Case presentation: A 56-year-old male with a history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with sudden-onset left-sided weakness and decreased consciousness following an ICH. He underwent a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement for hydrocephalus. Post-operatively, he developed hyponatremia with elevated urine sodium levels and hypovolemia, suggestive of CSWS. The patient was treated with fluid replacement therapy, including hypertonic saline, and desmopressin, resulting in improvement in his hyponatremia. Conclusion: CSWS is an important cause of hyponatremia in neurosurgical patients. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, including fluid replacement and potentially desmopressin, can improve patient outcomes. This case underscores the need for a high index of suspicion for CSWS in neurosurgical patients presenting with hyponatremia and highlights the importance of careful monitoring and individualized treatment strategies.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant changes in children's lifestyles, including increased screen time and reduced outdoor activities due to school closures and lockdowns. These changes raised concerns about potential myopia progression in children. Methods: This study compared the spherical equivalent (SE) measurements of children aged 8-17 years from two time visits: one before the pandemic (September 2019 - February 2020) and one during the pandemic (March 2020 - February 2022). Data on family history of myopia, screen time, and outdoor activities were also collected. Paired t-tests were used to analyze the differences in SE between the two visits. Results: A total of 11 children participated in the study. The mean change in SE was -1.55 D, indicating a significant increase in myopia during the pandemic (p = 0.046). The average daily screen time was 201 minutes, while outdoor activity time was 42 minutes. Conclusion: The findings suggest a potential corelation between increased screen time, reduced outdoor activities, and myopia progression in children during the pandemic. It is crucial to encourage healthy visual habits, including limiting screen time and promoting outdoor activities, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on children's vision.

Background: Acute asthma is a common cause of pediatric emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Early identification of children at high risk of requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission is crucial for optimal management and resource allocation. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the performance of predictive models for ICU admission in children presenting with acute asthma. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024 that developed or validated predictive models for ICU admission in children with acute asthma. Studies reporting sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Pooled estimates of diagnostic accuracy were calculated using a random-effects model. Results: Six studies (n = 2,850 children) met the inclusion criteria. The predictive models included clinical features (respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, accessory muscle use), lung function measures (peak expiratory flow rate), and blood gas analysis. Pooled sensitivity ranged from 0.71 (95% CI 0.59-0.82) to 0.78 (95% CI 0.72-0.83), specificity from 0.79 (95% CI 0.75-0.83) to 0.86 (95% CI 0.78-0.91), and AUROC from 0.79 (95% CI 0.72-0.86) to 0.88 (95% CI 0.84-0.92). Conclusion: Several predictive models demonstrate moderate to high accuracy in identifying children with acute asthma at risk of ICU admission. However, heterogeneity in model performance highlights the need for further research to validate existing models in diverse populations and develop more robust tools to guide clinical decision-making.

Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive breast cancer with varying potential for progression to invasive carcinoma. Myoepithelial cells (MECs) play a role in preventing this progression, and their absence is a hallmark of invasive disease. The p63 protein is a myoepithelial marker that can be assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between p63 expression in MECs, the grade of DCIS, and the morphological subtype of DCIS. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 35 cases of DCIS diagnosed at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Paraffin blocks were collected, and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) slides were reviewed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the histopathological grading (low, intermediate, and high) and morphological variants (comedo and non-comedo) of DCIS. Paraffin blocks were re-cut for p63 immunohistochemical staining. The extent of p63 expression was classified as complete or incomplete. Results: The majority of DCIS cases were high grade (54.3%) and of the non-comedo subtype (68.4%). All cases with complete p63 expression were of low histologic grade, while all cases with incomplete p63 expression were of high histologic grade. The results of the Chi-square test showed a statistically significant relationship between p63 expression and histopathological grading (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between p63 expression and morphological variant. Conclusion: The absence of p63 expression in DCIS is associated with high histologic grade. This finding suggests that p63 IHC may be a useful adjunct in evaluating DCIS.

Background: Retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) is a serious deep neck space infection that can lead to life-threatening complications such as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, and sepsis. The Trendelenburg position, where the patient's head is lower than their feet, has been traditionally used in the management of RPA to prevent aspiration of pus in case of abscess rupture. However, the optimal positioning for patients with RPA remains a topic of debate. Case presentation: A 51-year-old male patient presented to the emergency room with a 5-day history of progressive dysphagia and neck swelling. He was diagnosed with a ruptured retropharyngeal abscess extending to the mediastinum (descending necrotizing mediastinitis). The patient underwent surgical drainage and was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), where he was intubated and mechanically ventilated in the Trendelenburg position. Five days later, the patient developed pneumonia, suspected to be ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Conclusion: The Trendelenburg position may be considered in the management of RPA to minimize the risk of aspiration. However, it is essential to weigh the potential benefits against the risks, including VAP, and to consider alternative positions such as the lateral Trendelenburg position, which may offer similar benefits with reduced risk. Further research is needed to determine the optimal positioning strategy for patients with RPA.

Background: Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by the presence of both psychotic and mood symptoms. Managing schizoaffective disorder during pregnancy presents unique challenges due to the potential risks of pharmacotherapy to the developing fetus. This case report describes the successful management of a pregnant woman with schizoaffective disorder (manic type) using electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Case presentation: A 31-year-old woman, G2P1A0 with a gestational age of 26 weeks, was admitted to the psychiatric ward with symptoms of mania and psychosis, including disorganized behavior, threats of violence, suspicious delusions, auditory hallucinations, and visual illusions. Her symptoms had worsened after discontinuation of her antipsychotic medication due to pregnancy. She was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, manic type. Due to the potential risks of antipsychotic medication to the fetus, ECT was initiated. The patient responded well to ECT, with a significant reduction in her manic and psychotic symptoms. She was able to continue her pregnancy safely, and delivered a healthy baby at term. Conclusion: This case report highlights the effectiveness and safety of ECT in managing schizoaffective disorder during pregnancy. ECT can be considered a valuable treatment option for pregnant women with severe mental illness when the risks of pharmacotherapy outweigh the benefits.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health burden globally. The prognosis of CRC is strongly influenced by the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and lymph node (LN) metastasis. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine with a complex role in CRC progression. This study aimed to evaluate the significance of TGF-β expression in predicting LVI and LN metastasis in CRC. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 50 patients diagnosed with CRC. The expression of TGF-β was assessed using immunohistochemical staining and the Allred scoring system. The relationship between TGF-β expression and the presence of LVI and LN metastasis was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: High TGF-β expression was significantly associated with both LVI (p = 0.011) and LN metastasis (p = 0.012) in CRC. Patients with high TGF-β expression had a higher risk of LVI and LN metastasis compared to those with low TGF-β expression. Conclusion: TGF-β expression is a significant predictor of LVI and LN metastasis in CRC. This finding has potential implications for risk stratification and treatment decisions in CRC patients.

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disease with a high incidence rate. Cognitive decline is one of the consequences of recurrent seizures. Neuroinflammation is closely related to the development of epilepsy and cognitive impairment. An increase in the expression and translocation of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) from the nucleus to the extracellular space has been observed in epilepsy patients and experimental animal models. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum HMGB1 levels and cognitive function in epilepsy patients. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study involved 45 epilepsy patients. Cognitive function was assessed using the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina), and serum HMGB1 levels were measured using the ELISA technique. The relationship between cognitive function and HMGB1 levels was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of the participants was 28.5 years, with a higher proportion of females. The mean serum HMGB1 level was 22.6 ng/ml. No significant relationship was found between serum HMGB1 levels and cognitive function in epilepsy patients (p = 0.188). Conclusion: Serum HMGB1 protein levels were not associated with cognitive function in this sample of epilepsy patients.
