Abstract

Maternal mortality rate (MMR) consistently becomes a hot topic from day to day because there isn't a bright hope or the best exit door. Definition of maternal death according to World Health Organization (WHO) is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes. The amount of maternal death related to pregnancy has constantly been escalating from day to day since many decades ago. In the event of discussion at the Health Department of East Java Province in November ago, the data was alarming about a great problem related to maternal death in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Condylomata accuminata (CA) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the genital area caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) variants 6 and 11. This disease is also known as genital warts. The potential for recurrence is relatively high and the risk for malignancy is high, therefore it requires appropriate treatment and therapy. There is no clear evidence regarding the best treatment choice for patients with CA. Case Presentation: Female, 24 years old with complaints of genital warts that have grown bigger since 1 month before. Physiological examination of the labia minora showed multiple papules with mucosal-like color and verrucous surfaces, varying in shape and size. The acetowhite test result was positive. Patients were treated with 25% podophyllin tincture, with an interval of one week one time. Conclusion: Podophyllin usage as a therapy for CA provides excellent therapeutic response and is relatively affordable, simple, and has minimal side effects. Patients treated with 25% podophyllin tincture, with an interval of one week one time, for two weeks showed significant improvement of the lesions.

Abstract

Introduction: Infectious diseases have always been a problem, especially in the third-world countries. Due to the uncontrolled prescription of antibiotics, several bacteria developed resistance to some antimicrobial agents. One of them is Staphylococcus aureus. There is local wisdom in Indonesia to use natural products as potent antimicrobial agents. Curcuma heyneana and Graptophyllum pictum had been used by the locals in past centuries and seemed to be an effective agent for combatting infectious diseases. Therefore, we want to evaluate the activity of the combined extract of Curcuma heyneana and Graptophyllum pictum against Staphylococcus aureus.. Material and Methods: An in-vitro test by using the test tube dilution. The test tubes consisted of seven tubes; 2 control tubes and 5 experimental tubes. We used 1000mg/ml of each extract component at the highest (i.e., 1000mg/ml for Curcuma heyneana and Graptophyllum pictum, respectively). Five-times replication was conducted for each treatment. MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) and MBC (Minimum Bactericidal Concentration) were investigated after being streaked at the agar plate and incubated at 370C for 24 hours. Results: We could not determine the MIC because the colour of the combination of the extract was cloudy. The bacteria grew at all concentrations from five-times replication, except for the negative control, therefore MBC could not be obtained. Conclusion: Staphylococcus aureus was not inhibited effectively by combined extract of Curcuma heyneana and Graptophyllum pictum.

Abstract

Introduction: Giant Condylomata Acuminata (GCA) or Buschke-Lowenstein tumours are rare variations of anogenital warts. Immunocompromising conditions are closely related to the development of GCA. There is no standard therapy in the management of GCA. Its large size allows malignant transformation and high recurrence. Case Presentation: A male, 26 years old, with a complaint of wart in the anal in the last 11 months. The lump was getting bigger and sometimes bleed. The patient had been diagnosed with HIV 1 year ago and had received routine antiretroviral therapy (ARV). On physical examination of the perianal region showed stalked vegetation which was hypopigmented, partly erythema, verrucous surface, in the form of cauliflower, multiple, measuring 1.5x1.5x4 cm. A positive acetowhite test and histopathological examination showed condylomata acuminata. Patients were given combination electrocautery therapy and zinc sulfate 5-10 mg/kg/day for 2 months. Significant improvement appears and GCA disappears entirely. Conclusion: Electrocautery and zinc sulfate as an immunomodulator can be considered as a treatment of GCA with HIV because they can work synergistically to achieve resolution of the lesion and prevent recurrence of GCA.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia still recommends diazepam for epilepsy, but the International League Against Epilepsy increasingly favours lorazepam. Some reports indicate diazepam being less effective and causing side effects. This report presents a difficult-to-treat convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) case in a 10-month infant who received diazepam, questioning if intravenous/rectal lorazepam is a better initial therapy than diazepam for hospitalized children with CSE. Methods: Following the patient-intervention-comparison-outcome (PICO) formula, we searched for evidence in four journal databases (Pubmed, Proquest, EBSCOHost, and Cochrane). Studies meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were appraised. Results: Through three systematic reviews and meta-analyses, our clinical query was addressed. One study revealed that rectal lorazepam was more effective in stopping seizures than rectal diazepam (RR 2.86). Meanwhile, two studies found that intravenous lorazepam exhibited similar efficacy in seizure cessation compared to intravenous diazepam (RR 1.04 and OR 1.03, respectively). Both drugs showed no significant difference in the time required to stop seizures or the necessity for additional doses or adjunctive medications to achieve such cessation, nor in the likelihood of refractory seizure within 24 hours. Two studies indicated that intravenous lorazepam had a reduced risk of respiratory depression (RR 0.71 and OR 0.62, respectively). Regardless of the administration route, lorazepam was linked to a lower probability of ICU admission (RR 0.15) than diazepam. Conclusion: Intravenous lorazepam and diazepam are equally effective for treating CSE, but rectal lorazepam is considered better at stopping seizures and preventing their recurrence compared to diazepam. Furthermore, lorazepam is deemed safer, especially when given intravenously.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 vaccination acceptance by the youth population is still a major problem. Community vaccination programs are needed to immediately achieve immunity so that the goals of good health and well-being can be achieved. This study aims to identify the factors that influence vaccine acceptance in a group of youth non-health professionals. Methods: This cross-sectional, observational questionnaire-based study was conducted among 194 individuals in the age range of 18 to 25 years through online questionnaires. Data was collected using snowball sampling techniques collect data from respondents about their socio-demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP). Statistical used descriptive and analytical calculations (Chi-square and Mann-Whitney test). Results: There was a correlation between occupation, comorbid status, and history of COVID-19 with vaccination acceptance. The average score of knowledge among the non-vaccinated group versus the vaccinated group were 52.13 ± 14.556 and 53.68 ± 13.843 (out of 70), respectively (p= 0.509), while the average score for attitude was 6.76 ± 1.781 and 7.44 ± 1.220 (out of 8) respectively (p = 0.004). The occupation, comorbid status, history of COVID-19, perception of dangerous side effects, and willingness to pay were associated with COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. Conclusion:  The vaccinated group showed a more positive attitude, though their average knowledge score was not significantly different with the unvaccinated group. Massive health promotion regarding COVID-19 vaccine safety, reassuring the population, especially the unemployed population and COVID-19 survivors should be taken by policymakers to ensure adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and perceptions against COVID-19 vaccination.

Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes on treatment delay of stage IV colorectal cancer patients at Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang (RSSA). Material and Methods: The research design was a cause-effect retrospective study conducted at RSSA from June 2021 to December 2021. Measurement of patient knowledge and attitudes using questionnaires while patient delays in seeking treatment are obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis using structural equation modelling (SEM) using the WarpPLS application with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The result of this research indicated that the knowledge of symptoms is associated with the patient's anxiety attitude (p<0.01; r=-0.31) and attitude to screening (p=0.03; r=0.21). Knowledge of a healthy lifestyle was associated with attitudes to screening (p<0.01; r=0.27). Screening attitude was associated with treatment delay in colorectal cancer patients (p<0.01; r=-0.42). Conclusion: The conclusion is the knowledge and attitudes of patients about colorectal cancer are associated with the treatment delay. Increasing knowledge and attitudes of patients can reduce the treatment delay on stage IV colorectal cancer patients to come to RSSA.
