Abstract

The pathophysiological process due to increased myometrium activity caused by excessive production of prostaglandins that cause ischemia. Risk factors are very important in enforcing the diagnosis of dismenorrhea and also in distinguishing between primary and secondary dismenorrhea. Mainstay treatment is generally supportive by relieving symptoms in primary dismenorrhea and surgical treatment may be recommended for secondary dismenorrhea. Therefore, patients with primary dismenorrhea may only require simple non pharmacological and analgesic therapies, whereas patients with secondary menorrhea require treatment for major problems.

Abstract

There is tendency of non-communicable diseases (PTM) starting from the age of 10-14 years including increasing heart pressure. The purpose of this avenue is describing the prevention and control of hypertension. The method used by the online education seminar on health cadres in Sakatiga village, FK UNSRI fostered village since 2014. Finally, it is hoped that the community (cadres) can understand and implement efforts to prevent and control hypertension in the form of routinely measuring blood pressure, taking hypertension medication regularly and using complementary therapies.

Abstract

Thyroid nodules are three times more common in women than in men. Most women will develop a thyroid nodule by the time they are 50 years old. The incidence of thyroid nodules increases with age. 50% of 50-year-old women will have at least one thyroid nodule. 60% of 60-year-old women will have at least one thyroid nodule. 70% of 70-year-old women will have at least one thyroid nodule. Requisite to adopting any new surgical technique is scrutiny and analysis to confirm that the procedure is feasible and safe with the ultimate comparison to the gold standard of open transcervical thyroidectomy. However, this approach leaves an unavoidably visible neck scar. Many modified techniques have been developed to reduce the size of the neck scar, including minimally-invasive open thyroid surgery and video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT). Many of the alternative approaches for pure endoscopic thyroidectomy move the wounds to other parts of the body Such an approach is unparalleled compared to other remote-access approaches such as the axilla, breast, or post-auricular area, but cutaneous scars are still apparent and these approaches require a large amount of flap dissection. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) for thyroidectomy was developed. This surgical technique completely avoids visible cutaneous scarring with an approach through the oral cavity. A major advantage of TOETVA is the midline approach to the central neck, which allows access for a total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection.

Abstract

Seizure and status epilepticus (SE) are most common pediatric neurological emergencies, which can result in mortality and long-term disabilities. Status epilepticus is defined as prolonged epileptic seizure that may result in permanent damages to central nervous system, usually after 30 minutes or more for convulsive SE. In 2016, American Epilepsy Society has developed an evidence-based guideline for the management of SE, and in the same year, the Indonesian Pediatric Society published a recommendation for management of SE which was tailored to specific condition and availability of drugs in Indonesia. First line of SE management generally consists of benzodiazepine, usually rectal diazepam, intramuscular, buccal midazolam or intranasal preparations with an assumption that intravenous access has not been established. Second line of management consist of intravenous phenytoin, phenobarbital, levetiracetam, and valproic acid, some not available in Indonesia. About 90% of cases can be controlled with these two lines of drugs, the rest are categorized as refractory SE and require intensive care.

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a genetic basis, characterized by impaired growth and differentiation of the epidermis, multiple biochemical, immunological, and vascular disorders. The aetiology of psoriasis is not known with certainty, thought to be triggered by an immune response due to environmental factors such as trauma, infection, or drugs in individuals who are genetically at risk of psoriasis. The pathogenesis of psoriasis begins with an inflammatory immune response that promotes the release of dendritic cells, T cells, keratinocytes, neutrophils, and cytokines.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by the condition of persistent hyperglycemia due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. DM type 1 is more often often found in children but with increasing obesity rates, the number of children with type 2 diabetes is increasing. In children who have been diagnosed, determining the type of DM becomes important because of its large clinical implications especially for the choice of therapy. The determination of the type of DM is based on the clinical characteristics of the patient, but differentiating the various types is not always easy and is still a challenge in itself. DM management aims to achieve controlled glucose levels and prevent complications, both acute or chronic complications. Complications related to metabolic control and duration of suffering from DM, so early detection of DM especially in high-risk children should be sought as part of the prevention of DM and its various complications.

Abstract

The public's perception of the weak competence of health professional actors in Indonesia refers to complaints of lack of communication, empathy, and inadequate medical treatment. When doing therapy to patients, doctors must have a strong scientific basis for understanding basic concepts to improve the structure and function of the human body. This basic concept can be studied through the principles of physiology to be applied in the clinical realm.

Abstract

The condition of residents and environment of the boarding school which is not good has formed several variation of skin diseases that are repeated and almost similiar in every Islamic boarding school in Indonesia. This is a challenge for the Islamic boarding school community, health workers and academics to prevent, at least reduce the prevalence of these diseases. This activity was carried out in two stages, examination and education based on the results of the skin disease pattern that has been obtained from previous examinations. Education was performed online about diseases variation and how to cope them from the aspects of personal hygiene and environmental sanitation at the Pondok Pesantren Kampung Tauhiid Sriwijaya. This activity aimed to provide an coping of the variation of skin diseases that will be encountered by students and an accurate understanding of its prevention through personal hygiene and environmental sanitation.

Abstract

Biological agents are proteins that have pharmacological activity, derived from living materials, either from humans, animals, or microorganisms, and can be synthesized in large quantities with the help of genetic engineering techniques (recombinant DNA techniques). Biological agents are divided into three types: monoclonal antibodies in humanized, primatized, fully human, chimeric; cytokines or recombinant human cytokines growth factors; and 3) fusion proteins. The nomenclature for receptor fusion proteins and monoclonal antibodies follows the rules established by the International Nonproprietary Names of the World Health Organization (WHO). The suffix "-cept" is used as a code to identify a drug as a receptor molecule, and "-mab" is used as a code for a monoclonal antibody. The origin of the antibody is indicated by the code "-u-" for fully human origin (e.g., secukinumab). Antibodies derived from humans and mice are humanized, code named "-Zu-" (e.g., ixekizumab or chimeric, "-xi-" (eg, infliximab).

Abstract

Heart failure is a condition when the heart is unable to meet the metabolic demands of human body. Apart from the symptoms that impair the patient’s life, heart failure also carries a higher risk of mortality and consequently a higher economic burden due to hospitalization. As the disease progresses, the management will become more complex, and shifts from drugs to devices, to prevent cardiac transplant as the final frontier in heart failure therapy. In the industrial revolution era, 3D printing and bioprinting has emerged as a novel modality in dealing with heart failure pathophysiology.
