Abstract

Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a skin disease caused by the fungus Malassezia, common in tropical regions with high humidity, such as Indonesia. Pityriasis versicolor is characterized by hypopigmented or hyperpigmented patches, primarily on the chest, back, neck, and face, with some cases accompanied by itching. Risk factors include oily skin, immune conditions, genetics, and hot and humid environments. Further research is needed to understand the role of Malassezia in Pityriasis versicolor to improve treatment and prevent recurrence. To determine the role of Malassezia spp. in Pityriasis versicolor (PV) based on a literature review. Literature review with a narrative review design. Based on several reviewed journals, it can be concluded that Malassezia spp., which are part of the normal skin microbiota, can become pathogenic in individuals with certain predisposing factors. The transformation from yeast to hyphae, as well as the production of virulence factors such as lipase, protease, phospholipase, azelaic acid, melanin-like pigments, and the ability to form biofilms, play a role in the development of Pityriasis versicolor lesions. Interaction with the host occurs through direct mechanisms (irritant metabolites, keratinase) and immunological mechanisms (activation of inflammatory and allergic pathways), leading to skin barrier disruption, pigmentation changes, fine scaling, and potential alopecia. Variation in species and virulence profiles contributes to differences in clinical manifestations and responses to antifungal therapy. Malassezia spp. plays a key role in the development of Pityriasis versicolor through multifactorial virulence mechanisms and interactions with host predisposing factors, which influence clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Breast carcinoma represents the most prevalent malignancy among women, rendering routine surveillance using ultrasonography (USG) essential for early detection and monitoring. This case report describes a 49-year-old female presenting with a palpable mass and pain in the left breast, occurring one year after undergoing wide excision in the right breast, with prior histopathological findings of microglandular adenosis. Physical examination revealed bilateral breast masses without evidence of axillary lymphadenopathy. Breast ultrasonography demonstrated a cystic lesion with a solid component in the right breast and a cystic lesion in the left breast, both classified as BI-RADS III. This case underscores the critical role of post–wide excision surveillance using ultrasonography in identifying residual or recurrent lesions in the breast, including the contralateral side. Consistent monitoring and an appropriate clinical approach are expected to prevent diagnostic delays and improve clinical outcomes in patients with residual or recurrent breast lesions.

Abstract

Ovulation quality is a crucial component of reproductive health in women of childbearing age because it plays a role in successful fertilization and the sustainability of the reproductive process. Ovulation quality is influenced by oocyte maturation, follicle development, hormonal balance, and ovarian environmental conditions. Nutritional status, particularly adequate intake of folic acid and vitamin B6, is known to play a crucial role in supporting this process. Dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) are a natural food source containing folic acid, vitamin B6, and bioactive compounds that have the potential to support ovarian function. This study aims to examine the effect of folic acid and vitamin B6 content in dates on ovulation quality in women of childbearing age. The method used was a literature review with a narrative design. Data were obtained from national and international journal articles relevant to the nutritional content of dates, the role of folic acid and vitamin B6, and their relationship to ovulation quality. Data were analyzed descriptively by grouping findings based on the biological mechanisms involved in ovulation. The study results indicate that folic acid plays a role in deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and oocyte maturation through the one-carbon metabolic pathway, while vitamin B6 plays a role in regulating homocysteine ​​metabolism and ovarian metabolic balance. Furthermore, the bioactive compounds in dates have the potential to help suppress oxidative stress, which can damage oocyte quality. The conclusions of this study suggest that dates have the potential to support ovulation quality through complementary nutritional and biological mechanisms, although further clinical research is needed to strengthen the evidence directly.

Abstract

Regulation of reproductive hormones is an important component of male reproductive health because it plays a crucial role in spermatogenesis, sexual function, and fertility. The balance of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone is influenced by the integrity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and the condition of the testicular microenvironment. Oxidative stress and inflammation are known to impair Leydig cell function and reduce the efficiency of steroidogenesis. Ajwa dates (Phoenix dactylifera L., var. Ajwa) are a natural food source rich in phytonutrients, including polyphenols and flavonoids, which exhibit antioxidant activity and protective effects on testicular tissue. This literature review aims to examine the role of Ajwa date phytonutrients in the regulation of male reproductive hormones, particularly LH, FSH, and testosterone. The method used was a literature review with a narrative review design, conducted through searches of the PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. The literature analyzed included experimental studies, clinical studies, and review articles published within the last ten years. Data were analyzed descriptively and narratively by grouping findings according to key biological mechanisms. The results indicate that phytonutrients from Ajwa dates and other parts of the date palm contribute to the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation, improvement of testicular structure and function, and enhancement of testosterone production, with generally minimal changes in LH and FSH levels. In addition, under certain conditions, Ajwa dates show potential as hormonal modulators that help stabilize the balance of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. The conclusion of this review suggests that Ajwa dates have the potential to support the regulation of male reproductive hormones, although further clinical studies are still required.

Abstract

Paranoid schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder manifested by hallucinations and delusions. This case report presents the comprehensive management of a thirty three year old male religious leader diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, who exhibited a high psychiatric emergency risk of suicide attempts driven by command hallucinations. Clinical evaluation revealed that the exacerbation of psychotic symptoms was triggered by the interaction between neurobiological vulnerability post coronavirus infection and chronic psychosocial stress due to severe financial debt. The patient displayed somatic symptoms, panic attacks, and massive suicidal ideation. Combination pharmacotherapy using chlorpromazine and risperidone proved effective in reducing positive symptoms and acute agitation during the stabilization phase. Nevertheless, the prognosis is considered poor due to persistent environmental stressors including family conflicts. A holistic approach involving psychoeducation is absolutely necessary to prevent relapse and mitigate fatal risks in the future.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-communicable disease with an increasing incidence rate and the potential to cause various complications, including ocular disorders such as cataracts. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide and occur more frequently in DM patients due to chronic hyperglycemia that accelerates lens opacity. This study aims to determine the relationship between diabetes mellitus and the occurrence of cataracts at the JEC Orbita Eye Clinic in Makassar. This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design using a quantitative approach. Data were obtained from patient medical records in January 2025-December 2025. The sample was taken using a total sampling method with a total of 250 patients. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. Out of 250 patients, the largest age group was ≥ 60 years (36.8%), followed by 45–59 years (33.2%). The gender distribution was balanced between males and females (50% each). A total of 205 patients (82%) had diabetes mellitus. The Chi-Square test showed a significant association between diabetes mellitus and cataract (p < 0.05). Cataract was more commonly found in adult and elderly patients with a balanced gender proportion. Most cataract patients had diabetes mellitus, and there was a significant association between diabetes mellitus and cataract.

Abstract

Halitosis is a highly prevalent oral health problem that impacts quality of life and social interactions. However, it often goes undetected due to individuals' limited ability to recognize their own breath odor. The limitations of available examination methods, which are often subjective and impractical for self-monitoring, highlight the need for a portable and user-friendly device. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a portable gas sensor-based prototype for self-monitoring oral malodor indicators. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach consisting of needs identification, prototype development, expert validation, and user feasibility testing involving 50 respondents. Content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V, while user acceptance was evaluated descriptively based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The results showed an Aiken’s V value of 0.916, indicating very high validity in terms of functionality, design, and usability. User feasibility testing demonstrated positive acceptance, with the prototype perceived as useful, practical, and easy to use. These findings indicate that the developed prototype is feasible and acceptable as a self-monitoring tool to support oral health awareness. Further studies are required to evaluate technical performance and clinical validity before wider implementation.
