Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Indonesia and has the highest mortality rate in women. Nowadays, the primary prevention is not clear yet to prevent the breast cancer. Secondary prevention with radiological modality is the only option to decrease the mortality of breast cancer. This study aims to identify ultrasound effectiveness and accuracy as a screening modality for early detection of breast cancer. Methods: A systematic review was analyzed using PRISMA without a meta-analysis method on articles published in 2014-2024. Articles searches were conducted using PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar Database. Result: Based on the search results, seven eligible articles met the criteria for analysis. We found consistent evidence in 5 studies that breast cancer screening using ultrasound has high sensitivity (range sensitivity 68.9%-100%) and accuracy (range accuracy 0.687-0.999) compared to mammography alone. Breast ultrasound specificity is lower than mammography, ranging from 22% to 99.9%. The positive predictive value ranges from 4.3%-70%, and the negative predictive value of breast ultrasound ranges from 61.2%-100%. Conclusion: Breast Ultrasound can be an option as a breast cancer screening modality, especially in young women with dense breasts. It can be used in health facilities where mammography is unavailable.

Abstract

Valvular heart disease (VHD) often progresses asymptomatically, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which worsens patient outcomes. Early detection of VHD in asymptomatic cases is crucial to improve treatment effectiveness and long-term prognosis. This study aims to investigate the impact of early detection on treatment outcomes in asymptomatic VHD patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 200 patients diagnosed with VHD, categorized into two groups: those diagnosed early through screening and those diagnosed later after the onset of symptoms. Data were collected through medical records, echocardiograms, and patient interviews. Statistical analysis revealed that early detection significantly improved patient outcomes, with lower rates of complications, better valve repair success, and reduced mortality compared to those diagnosed later. Discussion centers on the importance of routine screenings in at-risk populations and the need for better diagnostic protocols to catch asymptomatic cases early. The conclusion highlights that early detection of asymptomatic VHD leads to better treatment outcomes, underlining the necessity of proactive screening measures to manage VHD effectively.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to public health, particularly about the oxidative damage caused by infection. Nigella sativa, known for its antioxidant properties, has been extensively studied as a potential therapeutic agent to reduce oxidative damage. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Nigella sativa administration in reducing oxidative damage in COVID-19 patients through a clinical and in silico approach. The research methods include a clinical trial on COVID-19 patients supplemented with Nigella sativa and in silico molecular analysis to identify the interaction mechanisms between the active components of Nigella sativa and SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The results showed that Nigella sativa significantly reduced oxidative stress biomarkers in patients, and in silico results revealed the potential of its active components to inhibit critical enzymes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Based on these findings, it is concluded that Nigella sativa has potential as an adjunct therapy in reducing oxidative damage in COVID-19 patients. Further research is required to confirm these results through broader, more in-depth clinical trials.

Abstract

Hallucinations are sensory perception disorders that attack the five senses, where a person perceives an object or image and thoughts that do not occur or are not real. Hallucinations include sound, sight, taste, touch, or smell sensations without real stimulus. Treatment for patients with hallucinations is by identifying the type of hallucination, applying medication, and implementing strategies to distract or overcome the hallucinations experienced. The objectives of this study include (1) Describing problems regarding sensory perception disorders and (2) Describing and implementing nursing care in cases of mental disorders with a medical diagnosis of schizophrenia at Soerojo Hospital Magelang. This study uses a qualitative approach with case studies as the primary method, using observation sheets, interviews, and documentation studies. The subject of this study used one patient, Mr S, who had a nursing diagnosis of sensory perception disorders at RSD Soerojo Hospital Magelang. Nursing care for patient Mr S with a diagnosis of sensory perception disorder (hallucinations) in this case showed success as indicated by the signs and symptoms experienced by the patient decreasing. After four days of intervention, the patient was able to overcome hallucinations by scolding, interacting with the surrounding environment, and taking care of himself by bathing and dressing more neatly.

Abstract

The determination of dental age using radiographic techniques has become a crucial method in forensic dentistry for estimating the chronological age of individuals, particularly in cases involving children and adolescents. This study aims to compare various radiographic techniques in estimating dental age based on tooth development. A comparative research method was employed, analyzing radiographic data from individuals aged 6 to 18 years. The data were collected using two primary techniques: panoramic and intraoral periapical, and analyzed using well-established methods such as the Demirjian and Nolla methods. The results showed that the Demirjian method had a higher accuracy rate compared to other methods, particularly in age estimation for individuals under 12 years old. The discussion highlights that differences in accuracy between techniques are due to better visualization of dental anatomical structures in some techniques. The conclusion of this study is that radiographic methods, especially the panoramic technique and the Demirjian method, are optimal choices for dental age estimation with high accuracy.

Abstract

Pansitopenia is a condition characterized by anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia. One of the common etiologies of Pansitopenia is HIV infection. In advanced HIV, Pansitopenia may present even without other clinical findings leading to a diagnosis of HIV. This study was conducted as a case study of a 34-year-old man who presented with chief complaints of chronic diarrhea and fever that lasted for one month. Laboratory examination showed Pansitopenia, HIV-rapid reactive and peripheral blood picture indicating Pansitopenia/ aplastic anemia. Data were collected through history taking, physical examination, and a series of laboratory tests. The patient was diagnosed with Pansitopenia suspected to be caused by HIV infection. The chief complaints of chronic diarrhea and fever suggested a chronic disease process due to immune compromise, as seen in the patient's clinical status indicating advanced HIV. The literature suggests that the severity of pansitopenia depends on the severity of HIV disease. Pansitopenia can be an indicator of the advanced stage of HIV infection. Appropriate management and regular monitoring are essential to prevent further complications. Pansitopenia in HIV patients can be considered as an important indicator to assess the severity of the infection. Prompt treatment and antiretroviral therapy are highly recommended to improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract

Hemophilia is a recessively inherited genetic disorder that causes abnormalities in the blood clotting process, which can lead to bleeding that is difficult to stop. One of the rare but significant complications of hemophilia is hemophilia pseudotumor, which occurs in 1-2% of hemophilia A and B patients. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the management of pseudotumor hemophilia. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the management of hemophilia pseudotumor in pediatric patients, focusing on the case of an 8-year-old boy who developed a pseudotumor in the left hand area due to hemophilia A. This case involves a boy with a history of hemophilia A who developed swelling of the left hand after experiencing trauma. Diagnosis was done through clinical examination, radiology (X-ray and MRI), and hematology evaluation. Treatment was factor VIII therapy, tranexamate, and amputation, as well as rFVIIa for bleeding prevention. The patient showed improved function after left hand amputation. Although conservative management can be considered for newly formed pseudotumors, in this case, a surgical approach was necessary due to the significant size and complications. Hemophilic pseudotumors can cause damage to surrounding tissues and require a multidisciplinary approach for management. Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare but serious complication in people with hemophilia. Appropriate management, including surgical intervention, can improve the functional outcome of patients, despite the significant risks involved. Further research is needed to develop more effective treatment protocols.

Abstract

Cholelithiasis refers to the formation of hardened deposits of digestive fluid, known as gallstones, which can develop in the gallbladder, bile duct, or both. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the occurrence of cholelithiasis in young patients, specifically 19-year-old males, and identify the clinical symptoms and associated examination results. A 19-year-old male patient visited the Internal Medicine Polyclinic with the main complaint of right upper abdominal pain radiating to the back. He also experienced nausea and vomiting. The patient frequently consumed high-fat foods. On physical examination, the patient's height was 171 cm, weight 74 kg, and BMI 25.34 kg/m² (overweight). Abdominal examination revealed a positive Murphy's sign. Laboratory tests showed total cholesterol of 216 mg/dl, LDL 158 mg/dl, HDL 38 mg/dl, and triglycerides 86 mg/dl. An abdominal ultrasound indicated thickened gallbladder walls, a single stone measuring approximately 0.82 cm by 1.17 cm, accompanied by sludge, and calcification in the right lobe of the liver. The patient was treated with Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) 250 mg twice daily and Atorvastatin 10 mg once daily.   Cholelithiasis is a multifactorial condition, influenced by several factors, commonly referred to as the "4F" factors: female gender, age over 40, fertility (being in the fertile period), and fat (obesity). Other contributing factors include age, genetics, and race. Children and adolescents may develop gallstones due to increased consumption of fat, refined carbohydrates, and low fiber intake. Overweight and obesity are significant risk factors because they increase the secretion of intrahepatic cholesterol, which promotes gallstone formation. The treatment of cholelithiasis can be classified into non-surgical and surgical approaches.

Abstract

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a disease that can significantly affect patients' quality of life. Although modern surgical therapies such as endovenous thermal ablation (ETA), iliac vein stenting, and others have been introduced, the effectiveness and safety of each procedure needs to be further evaluated. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of modern surgical interventions in the management of CVI, focusing on clinical outcomes such as ulcer healing, pain reduction, and improvement in patient quality of life. This systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines by screening literature from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library between 2014 and 2024. Of the 17,500 articles identified, 10 studies were included through a rigorous selection process. Analysis was performed based on study design, population, intervention type, clinical outcomes, and safety profile.  Endovenous thermal ablation showed an anatomical success rate of more than 96% with long-term clinical benefits. Iliac vein stenting significantly improved symptoms of deep vein obstruction (VAS: 9 to 2.5) with a primary patency rate of 92%. Methods such as mechanochemical ablation (MOCA) and cyanoacrylate embolization (CAE) offer minimally invasive approaches with low complication rates and fast recovery times. The combination of early ablation and compression therapy accelerates healing of chronic venous ulcers (median healing time: 56 vs. 82 days). Modern surgical interventions are proven effective and safe in the management of CVI, with thermal ablation as the gold standard and iliac vein stenting as the superior option for deep vein obstruction. This evidence-based approach provides important guidance for personalizing CVI therapy in the future. Further research is needed to evaluate long-term sustainability and to optimize evidence-based clinical guidelines.
