Abstract

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that is often found among women in reproductive age with 10% of incidence. There are many theories regarding development of endometriosis, and to date the etiopathogenesis of this disease is still controversial. Understanding the various pathogenesis of endometriosis is important for the management of endometriosis. The current management of endometriosis is still focused on the main symptoms experienced by the patients, such as pain and infertility. A number of therapeutic approaches have been developed based on the pathogenesis of endometriosis, in terms of immunological, angiogenic, hormonal, genetic, local neurogenesis, and central sensitization aspects. However, the ideal and curative treatment for endometriosis has not been found.

Abstract

Background: Depression can occur in children with chronic disease who are hospitalized. Prolonged hospitalization correlates with higher prevalence of depression that may affect clinical outcome. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between length of hospitalization and depression in children with chronic disease. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya, from January to March 2019. Children ages 10-18 years with chronic diseases such as oncology hematology, chronic kidney disease, and liver disease hospitalized for ≥7 days were screened for depression. Children with a history of previous depression or other mental illnesses were excluded. Depression was evaluated using the Children’s Depression Ratting Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) questionnaire. Statistical analysis using comparative test and correlation test with p value <0.05. Results: A total of 58 children were treated in the pediatric ward Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya, 50 met the inclusion criteria and 8 were excluded. Subjects consist of 27(54%) boys and 23(46%) girls. The mean age was 11.8±0.39 years. The average duration of treatment was 16±1.6 days. Depression screening found 39(78%) children with varying degrees of depression, 17(34%) moderate depression and 22(44%) severe depression with an average CDRS-R score of 45.2±2.3. The results showed 65.5% of children who were hospitalized for 7-14 days and 95.2% of children who were hospitalized for more than 14 days had depression (OR value=10.52; 95% CI; 1.227-90.311; p = 0.016). Correlation test results between the length of stay and CDRS-R score (r=0.502, p<0.001). Conclusion: Children with chronic disease who are hospitalized more than 7 days have higher risk of depression.

The etiology is unclear, but presumabley related with medication history, infection, malignancy, and stress. The diagnosis of EAC is based on clinical manifestations and histopathological examination. Histopathologically, EAC can be divided into superficial and deep type. Pathognomonic signs include coat sleeve and trailing scale. Symptomatic treatment of EAC may involve topical corticosteroid, topical vitamin D analog, and antihistamine. Case: A 9-year-old boy came with a complaint of erythematous patches on his face and body. Histopathological biopsy showed showed a mild appearance of hyperkeratosis and spongiosis at the epidermis, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate at the dermis. Based on these findings, patient was diagnosed with erythema annulare centrifugum. We gave antihistamine and topical corticosteroid to treat his condition. Discussion: Erythema annular centrifugum is a rare skin condition, with most cases is idiopathic. Histopathological biopsy can be used to help establish the diagnosis of EAC. Topical & systemic corticosteroid is the first-line therapy of idiopathic EAC, but administration of empirical therapy using antibiotics or antifungals may also be considered.
