Abstract

Backgroud: Ovarian carcinoma is the third most common malignancy in Indonesian women after breast and cervical cancer. Serous ovarian carcinoma is the most frequent subtype, divided into low-grade and high-grade types, each with distinct genetic and biological characteristics. Objective:This study aims to compare the clinicopathological features of high-grade and low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using 77 paraffin-embedded samples of serous ovarian carcinoma. Clinical and pathological data including age, body mass index (BMI), age at menarche, and parity were collected and analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Patients aged >50 years accounted for most cases, with 64.3% presenting high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Overweight/obesity was observed in 40.3% of cases. Early menarche (<13 years) was reported in 78%, and 42.7% were multiparous. No significant differences were found in clinical variables between HGSC and low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC). Histopathologically, HGSC showed more pronounced cytologic atypia, necrosis, and metastasis. Conclusion: High-grade serous carcinoma demonstrates greater aggressiveness compared to its low-grade counterpart. Histopathological assessment plays a critical role in diagnosis, treatment decisions, and prognosis evaluation.

Abstract

Background: Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with increasing incidence each year. Patients with comorbidities, such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), pose additional treatment challenges due to a higher risk of drug-related problems (DRPs), particularly drug interactions. Objective: This study aims to describe pharmaceutical care in female patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke and Type 2 DM, with a focus on identifying and evaluating DRPs. Method: A descriptive case study was conducted. Data were collected through medical records and patient monitoring, focusing on the identification and analysis of potential DRPs in the context of pharmaceutical care. Results: The study found drug interactions as the most prominent DRP. An interaction between potassium slow-release (KSR) and candesartan was identified as requiring monitoring. Additionally, moderate interactions were found between atorvastatin and clopidogrel, as well as atorvastatin and amlodipine. These interactions have the potential to influence therapeutic outcomes. Conclusion: The prescribed medication regimen was generally appropriate for the patient's condition. Nevertheless, the presence of DRPs highlights the importance of regular monitoring and dose adjustments. Optimizing pharmaceutical care through early detection and management of DRPs is essential to ensure treatment safety and effectiveness in patients with complex conditions.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Tumor budding has emerged as a potential prognostic indicator in colorectal adenocarcinoma. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between tumor budding and histopathological grade, lymphovascular invasion, and lymph node metastasis in colorectal adenocarcinoma, and to assess the potential of tumor budding as a prognostic factor. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using 93 colorectal adenocarcinoma samples. The association between tumor budding and histopathological grade, lymphovascular invasion, and lymph node metastasis was evaluated using the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: Among the 93 samples, a significant difference in tumor budding scores was found between cases with and without lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.003). However, no significant association was observed between tumor budding scores and histopathological grade (p = 0.685) or lymph node metastasis (p = 0.092). Additionally, a significant correlation was found between lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Tumor budding may serve as an important prognostic factor in colorectal adenocarcinoma, particularly in its association with lymphovascular invasion

Abstract

Background: Adolescents are highly vulnerable to nutritional problems, with obesity recognized as a global epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). In Indonesia, around 13.5% of individuals over 18 are overweight, and 28.7% are obese. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of pear juice consumption on weight loss among obese adolescents. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups, each with 34 obese adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Paired t-Test and Independent t-Test at a significance level of </ 0.05. Results: Most respondents were male (55.9%), 75.0% were classified as obese based on BMI, and 60.3% had a genetic predisposition to obesity. The intervention group showed an average weight loss of 1.91 +/ 0.332 kg, while the control group had an average weight gain of 1.79 +/ 0.155 kg. Although weight loss in the intervention group was significant, the difference between groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Pear juice may help reduce weight in obese adolescents, possibly due to its fiber content that supports calorie regulation. Further studies with larger samples are recommended.
