Abstract

Epidural haematoma (EDH) is an abnormal collection of blood between the bone and the dura mater. A 26-year-old male was brought by his family to the Hospital Emergency Department with complaints of headache after a traffic accident. The patient was unconscious for 5 minutes and had one seizure. After the seizure, the patient regained consciousness and complained of headache and vomiting. Neurological status examination was within normal limits.  CT-Scan examination of the head found a linear fracture accompanied by a picture of epidural haemorrhage (EDH) 59.34 cc in the right parietal, and midline shift to the left. The patient received conservative management in the form of mannitol. The patient also underwent operative management in the form of decompressive craniotomy for haematoma evacuation. This case describes a patient with EDH with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and received medical and operative management.

Abstract

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute flaccid polyneuropathic disease that occurs after infection and is caused by an immune system response. GBS patients often experience acute respiratory distress that requires mechanical ventilation. Nerve impairment in GBS can lead to various problems such as difficulty breathing, ineffective coughing, and difficulty swallowing, increasing the risk of lung infection. Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a lung infection acquired outside the hospital. The severity of CAP is directly proportional to the mortality rate. Appropriate antibiotic therapy can reduce the duration of treatment and mortality in CAP. The case report involves a 50-year-old man with GBS and CAP who required treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The management of GBS included the use of mechanical ventilation, antibiotics, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), resulting in improvement after 19 days, with the patient eventually being discharged from mechanical ventilation. It is necessary to describe the management of GBS and CAP cases so that further management can be better and in accordance with existing literature.

Abstract

Introduction: Melasma is a common condition of acquired hypermelanosis in dermatology that often occurs in areas of the body exposed to sunlight, especially the face. Thioredoxin Reductase (TrxR) is a key antioxidant system in defense against oxidative stress through disulfide reductase activity that regulates dithiol/disulfide protein balance. High levels/activity of TrxR correlate with melanin formation and tyrosinase activity which provides additional information about the role of cellular antioxidant proteins in melanogenesis which is suspected to be related to the occurrence of melasma. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between TrxR levels and melasma Method: This study was an observational analytical study with cross-sectional design on 30 melasma patients and 30 controls. Each patient underwent anamnesis, dermatological examination, and blood sampling to assess TrxR levels by ELISA test. These data were analyzed statistically using the Mann Whitney test. Results: This study shows that the most common distribution pattern of melasma was centrofacial in 24 people (80%). The mean TrxR level in melasma was 12.73±11.66 ng/ml. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between high TrxR levels and melasma (p<0.001). The TrxR mean level based on the duration of suffering from melasma at <5 years was 11.4±2.89, and ≥ 5 years was 14.0±3,18 Conclusion: There is a relationship between TrxR levels and melasma.

Abstract

Introduction: Cellulite is a local metabolic disorder in subcutaneous tissue characterized by changes in skin topography, occurring in parts of the body with a large accumulation of fat tissue, especially thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. Angiotensin converting enzyme is a zinc metallopeptidase, distributed on the surface of endothelial cells. Increased ACE levels cause microcirculation disorders, adipocyte hypertrophy, increased extracellular matrix, and stimulate the emergence of inflammatory cytokines which will cause an increase in the inflammatory response in the tissue, stimulate fibrogenic response and influences the appearance of cellulite. The aim of this study was too determine the relationship between ACE and cellulite. Method: This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design of 40 cellulite patients and 40 controls. Each patient underwent history, dermatological examination, and blood sampling to assess ACE levels by ELISA test. These data were analyzed statistically using the Chi square test. Results: The mean ACE level in cellulite was 66.78±15.38 µg/ml. The highest age with cellulite was 26–35 years 17 subjects (42.5%). Most of them had a family history of cellulite from their mother 22 subjects (55%). The majority of cellulite are located on the femoral and gluteus regions by 27 subjects (67.5%). The result of this study showed that there was a relationship between high ACE levels causing a risk of 4.5 times for cellulite (p = 0.002). Conclusion: There is a relationship between ACE levels and cellulite.

Abstract

Introduction: QTc interval prolongation is associated with an increased risk of mortality and incident cardiocerebrovascular disease in high-risk individuals and the general population. In addition, QTc interval prolongation in patients with acute stroke is associated with a significantly greater risk of death within 3 months. Based on the description in the background above, this study aims to determine how the relationship of QTc interval prolongation to mortality in acute ischaemic stroke patients during treatment and three months post-treatment at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Method: This study was an analytical study with a case control research design to determine the relationship of QTc interval prolongation to mortality in acute ischaemic stroke patients during treatment and three months post-treatment at Adam Malik Hospital Medan. The research time was carried out in March 2023 by taking a sample of cases from January 2021 to December 2022. The association of QTc interval prolongation with mortality of acute ischaemic stroke patients during treatment and three months post-treatment was analysed by Chi-square test. The statistical significance threshold used was p < 0.05. Results: In patients who died, the mean QTc interval was 490 ms (453.0 - 547.0 ms). Comorbidities in this study included 27 (32.9%) patients with Type 2 DM, 42 (51.2%) patients with hypertension, 7 (16.6%) patients with chronic kidney disease, 13 (15.8%) patients with atrial fibrillation, 1 (1.21%) with pneumonia, and 1 (1.21%) with upper feeding tract bleeding (PSMBA). Conclusion: QTc interval prolongation is associated with mortality in acute ischaemic stroke patients during treatment and three months post-treatment at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan
