Abstract

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacteria that colonizes in human digestive tract that can cause various problems in the stomach. The virulence factors involved in this process consist vacuolating cytotoxin gene A (vacA) which can be used as a marker of the progressivity of H.pylori infection to Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia. This research was aimed to determine the correlations between Helicobacter pylori vacA antibody serum and gastric premalignant lesions in Helicobacter pylori patients. Method: This was a cross-sectional and analytic research. The sample of this study were patients diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan who corresponded the inclusion criteria. The research was conducted from January to December 2022. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Selected subjects underwent endoscopy and biopsy, as well as antibody detection of VacA, then the data analysis was carried out. Results: Demographic characteristics of H. pylori patients show that mean aged was 49 years and the majority patients are female (51.7%), bataknese (61.7%) with normal mean body mass index (22.4435 kg/m2), not consuming alcohol (85%), and nonsmokers or mild smokers (63.3%). Pearson chi-square test results didn’t found significant correlations (p=0.639) between VacA antibody and gastric premalignant lesions. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between VacA antibody and gastric premalignant lesions.

Abstract

Introduction: The neuroophthalmic manifestations of HIV infection involve afferent and efferent visual pathways. Neuroophthalmic involvement is caused by direct infection and opportunistic infections. Screening for neuroophthalmic manifestations should be done even without vision complaints to identify neuroophthalmic signs and symptoms and refer to a neuroophthalmologist soon. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between CD4 levels and neuroophthalmic manifestations in HIV positive patients Method: It was a cross-sectional study with primary data sources taken consecutively from HIV positive patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan. Subjects were examined for CD4 levels and also performed the neuroophthalmic and neurological physical examination such as visual acuity examination, visual field, pupil examination and funduscopy. Results: There were 45 subjects with demographic characteristics the most of subjects were male (71.1%), age group 31-40 years (55.6%) with an average age of 35.98 + 9.23 years, self-employed (46.7%), married (60% ) and Bataknese (62.8%). CD4 levels < 200 cells/µL were found at 55.6% with a median value of 162 cells/µL (30-878). The most of neuroophthalmic clinical manifestations were found in 52% of subjects with CD4 levels <200 cells/µL with symptoms of blurred vision (22.2%) and clinical signs of abnormalities on fundoscopy (20%). There was a significant relationship between CD4 levels and neuroophthalmic manifestations in HIV patients (p<0.005). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between CD4 levels and neuroophthalmic manifestations in HIV patients (p<0.005).

Abstract

The skin is a particular organ that shields the body from physical stress and other external stresses. There are three layers of skin: epidermis, dermis, and subcutis. The three layers act as interrelated units in carrying out the above functions. One of the skin diseases that can be found is an autoimmune blister or bullous disease that can affect children. Autoimmune bullous or blisters are rare in children, but their quality of life is compromised if they suffer from this disease. Included in autoimmune bullous diseases in children are Linear Immunoglobulin A Bullous Dermatosis (LABD), Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH), Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV), Pemphigus Foliaceus (PF), Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP), Bullous Pemphigoid (BP), Mucous Membrane (cicatricial) Pemphigoid (MMP), Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA). Diagnosing and treating patients with autoimmune bullous diseases is challenging for clinicians. The skin of infants and children is anatomically thinner than adults, so they are more prone to develop bullae when traumatized.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a systemic disorder resulting from impaired glucose metabolism characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Caused by damage to pancreatic β cells either by autoimmune or idiopathic processes resulting in reduced or even halted insulin production. Diabetes mellitus is associated with a decrease in calcium with impaired intestinal calcium absorption and hypercalciuria which causes a decrease in calcium absorption into the body. Method: This study used a prospective study method to assess the correlation between HbA1C levels and calcium levels in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This research was conducted  in the Endocrinology Outpatient Unit of Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan, May 2022 to December 2022. The samples were children aged 1 month to 18 years. Results: Correlation is measured using Pearson correlation analysis for normally distributed data while Spearman correlation is used for data that was not normally distributed. There is a significant correlation between the HbA1c and calcium levels with a p value of 0.026 and a correlation value of (r= -0.445). The correlation value is negative, meaning that every increase in HbA1c levels will be followed by a decrease in serum calcium levels in children with type I diabetes, with moderate strength (r= 0.4 – 0.6). This effect is not influenced by diseases duration and onset of diabetes. Conclusion: There is a decrease in calcium in type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Introduction: Fibrinogen is a prognostic biomarker in septic children, lower fibrinogen levels are closely related to higher risk of death. Organ dysfunction was diagnosed based on PELOD-2 score. The aim of this study was to determine the corelation between fibrinogen levels and PELOD-2 score as a predictor of mortality in pediatric patient with sepsis treated in the PICU and HCU at H. Adam Malik General Hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study of pediatric patients with sepsis treated in the PICU and HCU H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Correlation of fibrinogen levels with PELOD-2 scores was seen on day I and day III of treatment in patient aged 1 month to 18 years with a hospital stay of at least 72 hours and were analyzed using the Spearman test and the relationship between fibrinogen and mortality was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: 50 subjects were recruited in this study, fibrinogen levels had no correlation with PELOD-2 score day I (p = 0,074, r = -0,225) and with PELOD-2 score days III (p = 0,110, r = -0,229) and with mortality (p = 0,160). Conclusion: Fibrinogen levels were not correlate with PELOD-2 score as a predictive factor for mortality in septic children.
