Abstract

North Sulawesi province is an area with low malaria endemicity. Variations in hematological profiles of malaria patients can serve as indicators for malaria diagnosis. This study aimed to determine correlation of hematological profile and parasite density of malaria patients. The cross-sectional study utilized medical record data from Kandou Hospital, Budi Mulia Hospital, and Tuda Hospital in North Sulawesi Province. The study was conducted from October 2022 to June 2023. In the current study, a total of 65 patient medical records were analyzed. Among them, 28 patients (43.1%) were infected with Plasmodium falciparum, and 37 patients (56.9%) were infected with P. vivax, with 20% of cases belonged to age group of <12 years. Hematological profiles showed moderate to severe thrombocytopenia in falciparum malaria cases and mild to severe thrombocytopenia in vivax malaria cases, while normal leukocyte count was observed in the majority of cases in both groups. Sex (p=0.014) and thrombocytopenia (p=0.034) showed a statistically significant association with malaria infections in this study. Anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukocyte counts did not show a statistically significant association with the degree of parasitemia in patients with falciparum and vivax malaria (r <0.40; p >0.05). The results of current study can be used as additional predictive variables for patients suspected of having malaria in similar populations.

Abstract

Urethral hypermobility is the primary mechanism of stress urinary incontinence. In Indonesia, the prevalence of SUI (stress urinary incontinence) is approximately 13% (the other 16% had mixed urinary incontinence). To diagnose urethral hypermobility, the Q-tip test is performed, but it can provoke discomfort. Urethral mobility ultrasonography (UMU) has emerged as a non-invasive, more comfortable alternative, with high accuracy. This study reports the concordance of the evaluations in Indonesian women with SUI, to evaluate the accuracy of UMU compared with the Q-tip test in diagnosing urethral hypermobility among Indonesian women with SUI. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of RSUPN Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo and at the Jakarta Urogynecology (JUN) Centre-YPK Mandiri Hospital during the January – December 2024 period. Thirty-six SUI women without symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) completed the study. Each subject underwent a Q-tip test and ultrasonographic evaluation of urethral mobility. Ultrasonographic assessment of urethral mobility demonstrated high sensitivity (92.6%) but low specificity (33.3%) compared to the Q-tip test. The positive predictive value (PPV) of UMU was 80.6%, while the negative predictive value (NPV) was 60%. The concordance value was 77.8%. 16.67% of patients reported discomfort and pain during the Q-tip test and required medication to manage their symptoms. In those women, the Qtip test was negative but may reflect bias/false negatives, which can affect ultrasound specificity. With 80.6% PPV, 60% NPV, and 77.8% concordance, UMU may serve as a practical alternative to the Q-tip test in daily clinical practice.
