Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that occurs in nearly all countries, with complications related to skin disorders affecting up to 30% of diabetic patients. Skin changes in DM or as a complication of DM represent a complex and multifactorial process. These changes can occur through various pathomechanisms due to pathological glucose levels, resulting in alterations to skin aspects and clinical manifestations. The skin changes arise from diverse factors, including lesions related to Diabetes Mellitus, infection, manifestations of Diabetes Mellitus complications, and lesions resulting from Diabetes Mellitus treatment. This review will examine the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and general management of several skin manifestations in diabetic patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Keloid is an abnormal wound healing condition influenced by various factors, including adiponectin levels and genetic predisposition. The role of adiponectin in keloid formation, particularly concerning familial and non-familial history, remains unclear. This study aims to compare adiponectin levels in keloid patients with and without a familial history of keloid formation. To compare adiponectin levels in patients with familial and non-familial keloid history. Methods: This observational analytic study utilized a cross-sectional design involving 40 keloid patients. Participants underwent anamnesis, dermatological examination, and blood sampling to measure serum adiponectin levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS Statistics version 21. Results: Keloid was more frequently observed in female patients, particularly in the 18–25-year age group. The mean serum adiponectin level among all participants was 11.01±8.34 μg/ml. In patients with a familial history of keloid, 40.0% had low adiponectin levels, while 42.5% of those without a familial history also exhibited low levels. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in adiponectin levels between the two groups, suggesting that low adiponectin levels are a common feature in keloid patients regardless of genetic predisposition. Conclusion: Low adiponectin levels are prevalent among keloid patients, but they are not significantly associated with a familial history of keloid formation. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms linking adiponectin to keloid development.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast milk is the ideal source of nutrition for infants, especially during the first six months of life, as it supports optimal growth and development. A mother's knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding plays a crucial role in ensuring a child's nutritional status. Insufficient maternal knowledge can negatively impact breastfeeding practices and lead to poor nutritional outcomes.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 161 million children under five experienced nutritional deficiencies globally in 2014. Disruptions in healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated these challenges, making it more difficult for mothers to access the information and support they needed for successful breastfeeding. Methods: This cross-sectional analytic observational study was conducted at Posyandu Cempaka A and B in Tanah Baru sub-district, Bogor City, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 53 mothers with children under two years old were selected using consecutive non-random sampling. Data were collected through validated questionnaires assessing maternal knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and direct anthropometric measurements of the children. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: The study found a significant relationship (p = 0.038) between maternal knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of children under two years old. Mothers with better knowledge were more likely to have children with normal nutritional status. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding is significantly associated with the nutritional status of children under two years old, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of maternal education to improve child health outcomes.

Abstract

Objective: To assess whether there is right ventricular-pulmonary artery (RV-PA coupling by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure TAPSE/PASP) changes in determining the clinical results of decongestion in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) with non-preserved ejection fraction (non-HFpEF) before and after decongestive at Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Methods: This study is an observational study with a prospective approach and consecutively collected, in patients AHF with non-HFpEF at Adam Malik Hospital Medan in the period from September 2023 until November 2024d. The sample is an eligible population that meets the inclusion and exclusion criterias. Results: This study consisted total 44 subjects with majority of 37 men (75%), an average age of 61 years old. A total of 28 subjects (63.6%) had hypertension as comorbid. There were 33 people (75%) who had sinus rhythm. The most acute heart failure phenotype commonly found was acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) with 21 subjects. The longest length of stay AHF was cardiogenic shock with a median of 9 days. A significant decrease in median heart (p 0.0001), tricpuspid valve gradient (TVG) examination showed a significant decrease in (p 0.0001), PASP examination had a significant decrease in the average (p 0.0001), RV-PA coupling showed a significant increment (p 0.0001). A significant relationship was found between RV-PA coupling changes and decongestion in all acute heart failure groups (p 0.005). No significant relationship between RV-PA coupling ratio with length of stay was found. Conclusion: There were differences found in RV-PA coupling as increment with significant value in complete and partial decongestion groups, with a RV-PA coupling cut-off value of 0.65 and sensitivity and specificity of 68.8% and 67.9%, respectively.

Abstract

The process of wound healing is intricate, involving highly coordinated and synchronized mechanisms. Deviations from normal physiological responses can result in hypertrophic scarring. In recent years, there has been a global resurgence of interest in herbal remedies. Many plant-derived compounds and extracts have demonstrated the capacity to inhibit hypertrophic scar formation. The primary mode of action involves inhibiting proliferation and/or triggering apoptosis in scar fibroblasts by modulating various pathways, including PI3K/AKT, VEGF, and TGF-Beta/SMAD. Advancing our comprehension of hypertrophic scar pathophysiology, conducting follow-up research, and pursuing future investigations will help overcome current challenges and lead to the development of promising therapeutic approaches.
