Abstract

Background: Anatomy education is the essential basic science as a physician to run the clinical practice. The global development leads to the transformation of the medical curriculum which then results in the reduced time allotment for anatomic learning. In musculoskeletal system, superior extremity is one of the sections having the wide range of material coverage which cannot be learned in a short length of time. As a result, the students find it difficult to learn the material. A large number of anatomic material in superior extremity musculoskeletal system which need to be learnt in a limited time underlies the researcher to conduct this research.Methods: This research employed qualitative study using two-round Delphi method. The research subjects were 20 general physicians in Indonesia selected by purposive sampling. The initial questionnaire was arranged by the researcher based on 3 anatomic textbooks, 1 research on core anatomic material, 1 research on the anatomic component of clinical orthopedic, the substance recapitulation of national anatomy curriculum, and nomina anatomica. In the first Delphi round, the panel was asked to select the component which is important to be learned based on the clinical cases as well as to add whether the component has not been written yet by the researcher. In the second Delphi round, the panel ranked from 1-4. The consensus determined by the researcher is 35%.Results: In the first Delphi round, there is no topic added yet 53 components are removed. Thus, a number of component in the first round was decreased from 510 to 457 components. The second Delphi round obtains 26 core anatomic material out of 457 topics.Conclusion: General physician consensus is 26 from the core material out of the entire anatomic material in the superior extremity musculoskeletal system. There are also clinical reasons or correlation from the material of superior extremity muscukoskeletal system which are considered important by the panels. The results obtained from the panels who come from various regions to represent the general physician in Indonesia. Keywords: anatomy; core material; Delphi method; general physician consensus; musculoskeletal system,

Abstract

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death in children under 5 years after pneumonia with a mortality prevalence of 8%. Diarrhea is a digestive disease with signs of bowel movements with a sudden consistency of loose stools 3 times or more in 24 hours, mostly caused by microorganisms (bacteria and viruses). The cure rate for diarrhea after receiving fluid replacement therapy and antibiotics for diarrhea caused by bacteria is quite high, but the mortality rate due to diarrhea is still high, therefore there needs to be an effort to add therapy to improve patient clinical outcomes. Vitamin D is known to play a role in the body's defense function, both in natural and adaptive immunity and plays a role in the body's defense in cases of infections, allergies, and autoimmunity. This study is an experimental double blind randomized clinical trial which was analyzed using Kaplan Meier. The research subjects were children aged 6 months to 18 years who were divided into two groups, namely the treatment group (n = 35) and the control group (n = 35). The treatment group received vitamin D and for the control group received a placebo. The data taken includes the results of the frequency of defecation of patients. The results of this study indicate that vitamin D is effective in accelerating the reduction in the frequency of defecation in children with diarrhea.  Keywords: Diarrhea, Vitamin D, Defecation, Kaplan Meier

Abstract

COVID-19 disease has become a threat to global health. SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause damage to any other organs including the nervous system, which manifests as a neurological disorder. A number of neurological disorders have been reported in COVID-19 patients, including encephalopathy, stroke, myelitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome. The neurological manifestations in COVID-19 patients are varied and complex. A number of theories have been proposed to explain the pathomechanism behind the neurological diseases that develops in COVID-19 patients and are generally divided into direct and indirect effects of COVID-19. The direct routes involve invasion of the virus into the brain via olfactory, vascular pathways, or infiltration of infected immune cells; whereas indirect routes are the neurological consequences of systemic damage caused by viruses, such as inflammation, hypoxia, or hypercoagulable states. The neurological diseases experienced by COVID-19 patients can be caused by the pathophysiological process of the COVID-19 disease or other causes that coincide with viral infections.

Abstract

Ideal closing of the abdominal wound will provide strength and prevent infection. Abdominal wall closure method is an important aspect of effective incision closure, besides the choice of suture material. TGF-β generally involved in wound healing process. The suture technique is also important in wound healing process. This study aims to compare the large stitch technique with the small stitch technique for abdominal skin closure. Twenty rats were used in 4 groups. The small stitch group received small tissue bites of 5 mm from wound edge, and the large tissue group received large bites of 10 mm from wound edge. The incision of the skin was closed by running suture using polyglecarprone 25. Animal model were euthanized on the 4th and 7th day post incision. Tissue section were examined using immunohistochemistry method to measure TGF-β expression. The results were analyzed using t-test and the effect size. Rats in the small stitch group had higher TGF-β expression on day 4th and 7th than those in the large stitch group. TGF-β expressions in the small stitch group were 0,87 -fold greater on day 7th than day 4th and were 0,71 -fold greater in the large stitch group (p = 0,410). The significance analysis on day 4th with a result of 0,082 and day 7th with a result of 1.48, which means day 7th showed high effect (Cohen's d> 0.8) on wound healing than day 4th. In conclusion, polyglecaprone 25 use as a suture material on the day 7th showed a high effect in terms of TGF- β expression.

Abstract

Albumin profile is an important sign of nutritional status as a quality-of life parameter, whereas hypoalbuminemia has been shown to be associated with a high mortality rate for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) undergoing dialysis including CAPD. The study was conducted to determine serum albumin levels in patients with ESRD undergoing CAPD therapy. The study was conducted in a cross-sectional manner on ESRD patients who were still actively undergoing CAPD in the outpatient Installation of Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta until November 2018. Subjects were examined for serum albumin levels. There were 57 research subjects with the category of albumin levels <3.5 g / dL as many as 19 (33.3%), between 3.5-4.0 g / dL as many as 27 (47.3%) and albumin levels> 4.0 g / dL of 11 (19.3%). There were no significant differences in all age groups, BMI and duration of CAPD. Albumin profile can be an independent parameter of quality of life and even a predictor of mortality in CAPD patients because it does not depend on age group, BMI and length of CAPD
