Abstract

The number of elderly population in the world is increasing nowadays. In 2020, there were 1.4 billion people in the world aged ≥60 years and it is predicted to double by 2050. Decline in cognitive function and memory is one of the consequences of the aging process that can affect a person’s quality of life. MCI is a pathological condition also preclinical and transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. Early detection and intervention of MCI may delay onset and prevent the progressivity of MCI to dementia. This article aims to provide an overview of MCI which includes risk factors, subjective and objective clinical signs, disease course, diagnosis, and recommendation of MCI management based on existing studies and guidelines.

Abstract

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) telah menjadi fondasi dalam praktik medis modern, terutama dengan menekankan penggunaan bukti terbaik untuk memandu pengambilan keputusan klinis. Namun dalam penerapannya, beberapa miskonsepsi muncul, khususnya dalam ketergantungan berlebihan pada randomized controlled trials (RCT) sebagai standar emas dalam hierarki bukti. Meskipun RCT menawarkan keunggulan tertentu dalam menghindari bias, terdapat banyak situasi di mana RCT tidak diperlukan atau bahkan tidak cocok. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi miskonsepsi umum dalam EBM, pentingnya mempertimbangkan “direct evidence”, dan bagaimana pendekatan EBM yang lebih fleksibel dapat lebih sesuai dengan praktik klinis nyata.

Abstract

Penyakit arteri koroner (coronary artery disease/CAD) konsisten menjadi penyebab utama kematian di seluruh dunia, dengan dampak yang signifikan terhadap kualitas hidup jutaan orang. Data dari World Health Organization (WHO) menunjukkan bahwa CAD bertanggung jawab pada sekitar 9 juta kematian setiap tahun, menjadikannya sebagai penyebabutama kematian global. Di Amerika Serikat, sekitar 365.000 orang meninggal setiap tahun akibat penyakit jantung koroner, yang merupakan satu dari tujuh penyebab kematian di negara tersebut (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). Di Indonesia, prevalensi penyakit jantung koroner juga meningkat secara signifikan. Menurut data dari KementerianKesehatan Republik Indonesia, penyakit jantung koroner menjadi salah satu dari tiga penyebab utama kematian di Indonesia. Prevalensi penyakit ini diperkirakan sekitar 1,5% dari populasi, dengan angka kejadian lebih tinggi di daerah perkotaan dibandingkan pedesaan. Data tersebut menunjukkan pentingnya penelitian dan inovasi dalam pencegahan serta pengobatan penyakit arteri koroner untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup dan menurunkan angka kematian

Abstract

Coronary artery disease is a significant public health concern in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. It is characterized by the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, leading to reduced or interrupted blood flow to myocardium. A hallmark of atherosclerosis is calcification, which may occur during both plaque progression and regression. To date, it remains unclear whether the progression of atherosclerotic lesions follows a linear pattern. The formation of microcalcifications initiates the calcification process and warrants further investigation. Several imaging modalities, which have significantly advanced, may help measure the coronary artery calcification burden and guide appropriate management. Concerns about radiation exposure have positioned coronary artery calcium scoring as the most effective,efficient, and readily observable parameter among both invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques. Identifying highrisk plaque characteristics and severe or extensive calcification is essential in order to provide optimal treatment. However, the progression of calcification remains uncertain, and ongoing research is being conducted to explore potential methods to reverse it. Various tools and complex techniques have been developed to address different types of calcified lesions. Further studies are needed to identify patients who experience more rapid calcification progression, in order to optimize preventive strategies.

Abstract

Diagnosis tuberkulosis laten (latent tuberculosis infection/LTBI) merupakan kunci penting dalam pengendalian kejadian tuberkulosis (TB). Uji interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) umumnya digunakan untuk mendeteksi interferon gamma (IFN-γ) sebagai penanda LTBI, dengan metode seperti T-SPOT.TB yang telah diimplementasikan secara luas. Akhir-akhir ini, metode chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) dengan analyzer yang sepenuhnya otomatis, juga telah digunakan untuk deteksi dan kuantifikasi IFN-γ. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan antara kedua metode tersebut. Dua puluh sampel darah heparin dari 20 pasien diambil di Laboratorium Rampal Diagnostika. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode otomatis CLIA sebanding dengan metode T-SPOT.TB dalam mendeteksi IFN-γ dengan signifikansi 0,625 dan korelasi 0,857. Terdapat kasus yang tidak sesuai antara kedua metode sebanyak 4/20 (20%). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa CLIA-IGRA merupakan pemeriksaan yang sebanding dengan metode T-SPOT.TB untuk mendeteksi LTBI.
