Abstract

Background : Dental procedures can cause several serious complications such as cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema, which can be fatal if not diagnosed quickly; especially in children, this is a rare case. Most of cases of cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema present with symptoms similar to angioedema in cases of allergies, leading to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This case is unique because cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema occurred before invasive dental procedures, which consisted of cleaning using a water spray. Case was taken from pediatric patient who came to the Emergency Room (ER) presented with a chief complaint swelling in the left eye area, spread to the left cheek and neck. Oxygen therapy, pain relievers, antihistamines, and antibiotics eliminate symptoms within 4 days without complications. Diagnosis carried out quickly and precisely followed by appropriate treatment results in good and complete recovery rates.

Abstract

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is classified within the Pneumoviridae family, genus Orthopneumovirus. RSV is a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus and has two genotypes, A and B. It is primarily associated with lower respiratory tract infections, including bronchiolitis and bronchopneumonia, and is a common cause of hospitalization in infants, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised patients. RSV also has the potential to become systemic infection. Symptoms of RSV infection, such as fever, cough, sore throat, and runny nose, are usually mild in adults. However, in some cases, especially for specific high-risk individuals, the infection can become severe enough to require hospitalization, and complications may lead to death. Understanding the pathogenesis and immune response to RSV are crucial for recognizing the virus’s effects and potential risks. This literature review covers the virology, pathogenesis, immune response, and recent advancements in RSV vaccine development in adult populations. Comprehensive knowledge of RSV is essential for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is virus that can infect people with immunocompromised conditions. Cytomegalovirus is DNA virus that need host to replicate their self. There was a case report: male, 49 years old was reported infected by CMV. Patientcame to the hospital with erythroderma in all of his body. This condition is about a month ago before patient came to the hospital. After a skin biopsy examination there was inclusion body that was sign for infection of CMV. IgG and IgM against CMV also positive in this patient. Viral load for CMV also detected in the blood stream of the patient. Valganciclovir was the first drug of choice in this patient, and patient was treated with valganciclovir for one day. After treatment, erythrodermawas improved. The patient, before being diagnosed with CMV, was not using any immunosuppressive medications. The HIV infection is negative, confirmed by a rapid HIV test, and there are no symptoms indicating that the patient has diabetesmellitus.

Abstract

Epigenome is a set of reversible modifications that synergistically regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. The epigenome serves as a functional bridge between the genome and the environment, enabling precise spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression, which is crucial for cellular identity and development of organisms. Unlike the static genome, the epigenome is dynamic and responsive to endogenous and exogenous signals, including developmental, metabolic, environmental stress, and pathological conditions. This paper comprehensively reviews the fundamental mechanisms of epigenetic dynamics, its role in phenotype formation, and its implications in disease etiology and therapeutic innovation. By integrating cutting-edge findings from developmental biology, oncology, neurobiology, and regenerative medicine, the epigenome can be understood as a multidimensional lens for interpreting biological memory, developmental plasticity, and potential molecular engineering.

Abstract

Liver is considered one of the most vital organs, acting as the center of metabolism of nutrients and excretion of waste products. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease. The management of NAFLD continues to evolve, and clinicians are currently faced with a variety of alternative options, both nonpharmacotherapeutic and pharmacotherapy, to avoid more severe liver disease. Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff.) Boerl., namely, mahkota dewa in Indonesia, has been used empirically to treat cancer, allergy, and diabetes mellitus. Proliverenolis a proprietary bioactive fraction derived from the dried fruit of Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff.) Boerl. Proliverenol was reported to have hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifibrotic effects. The study found that Proliverenol bioactive fraction, at a dosage of 1000 mg twice daily for at least 4 weeks of treatment, is effective in improving liver damage with a good safety profile.

Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive hepatic disorder that has become a central component of the global metabolic syndrome spectrum. Its complex pathogenesis involves insulin resistance, chronic inflammation,oxidative stress, and activation of fibrogenic pathways. Along with the deepening understanding of molecular mechanisms,precision therapies targeting farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) modulators, incretin mimetics, and RNA-based technologies are being developed, although challenges remain concerningside effects and accessibility. In this context, Veprolin containing Proliverenol, a bioactive fraction of Phaleria macrocarpa, offers potential as an adjuvant standardized herbal drug with anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and reparative effects, as demonstrated in preclinical studies. This review highlights the importance of integrative, precision-oriented, and sustainable multimodal therapeutic strategies.
