Abstract

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) affects approximately 64 million people globally, contributing to high mortality, morbidity, reduced quality of life, and substantial healthcare burden. Acute heart failure (AHF) requires urgent intervention and carries elevated risks of mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk score, originally developed for predicting in-hospital mortality in HF patients, has shown potential in forecasting MACE in certain populations. However, its association with MACE in Indonesian AHF patients remains underexplored. Method: This retrospective observational cohort study included 319 AHF patients admitted to Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from January 2024 to March 2025. Patient characteristics, GWTG-HF scores, and in-hospital MACE were recorded. Statistical analyses involved receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariate regression. Results: Patients had a mean age of 55 years, with 54.5% males. Median hospital stay was 5 days (range 1–47). Predominant features included acute decompensated HF (65.8%), infection as etiology (46.7%), HFrEF (52.0%), coronary heart disease (62.4%), and smoking (50.8%). In-hospital MACE occurred in 20.4% of patients, primarily mortality (18.8%), increasing with GWTG-HF risk categories (low: 8.1%; moderate: 17.4%; high: 36.7%). Age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, sodium, and blood urea nitrogen significantly influenced MACE (p<0.05). The GWTG-HF score demonstrated good predictive performance for MACE (AUC 0.759, p<0.001; sensitivity 63.2%; specificity 78.1%). Conclusion: The GWTG-HF score is significantly associated with in-hospital MACE in Indonesian AHF patients, supporting its utility as a risk stratification tool to guide clinical decisions and optimize management.

Abstract

Sepsis is a life-threatening clinical syndrome arising from a dysregulated host response to infection, encompassing a continuum of severity that ranges from sepsis to septic shock. Despite advances in critical care, sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with reported mortality rates exceeding 10% in sepsis and rising beyond 40% when septic shock develops. Contemporary management strategies emphasize early recognition, prompt source control, timely administration of antimicrobial therapy, and hemodynamic optimization. Current clinical practice largely aligns with the definitions proposed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, which focus on organ dysfunction as a central feature of sepsis. However, these definitions are not universally adopted, as alternative frameworks, including earlier systemic inflammatory response–based criteria, continue to influence clinical and regulatory practices in certain settings. The ongoing debate highlights concerns that the broad application of modern definitions may inadvertently promote overtreatment, particularly unnecessary exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics, in patients with less severe disease. This review summarizes contemporary concepts in the clinical management of sepsis and septic shock, integrating evolving definitions with practical and bedside decision-making. Emphasis is placed on balancing rapid, protocolized care for high-risk patients with judicious therapeutic strategies to minimize harm to patients with milder presentations. By synthesizing guideline-based recommendations and ongoing controversies, this review aimed to provide a pragmatic framework for clinicians managing sepsis in diverse clinical contexts.

Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a common type 2 inflammatory disease affecting approximately 1–4% of the population and is characterized by persistent nasal obstruction, olfactory dysfunction, facial pain, and substantial impairment in quality of life. Although standard therapies such as intranasal corticosteroids and endoscopic sinus surgery remain the mainstay of treatment, a significant proportion of patients experience recurrent or inadequately controlled disease. Improved understanding of the immunopathogenesis of CRSwNP has highlighted the central role of type 2 inflammation, driven by cytokines including interleukin-4, interleukin-5, interleukin-13, and immunoglobulin E, thereby enabling the development of targeted biologic therapies. Biologic agents such as dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, and omalizumab have demonstrated consistent efficacy in phase III randomized controlled trials and real-world studies, leading to significant reductions in nasal polyp burden, improvements in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores, restoration of olfactory function, and decreased need for systemic corticosteroids and revision surgery. Patient selection is increasingly guided by clinical phenotype and biomarkers, including blood eosinophil counts, total serum IgE levels, and the presence of comorbid asthma or aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. Emerging evidence supports the integration of biologic therapy with surgical management in refractory cases, while ongoing trials targeting upstream mediators such as interleukin-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin may further expand therapeutic options. Overall, biologic therapies represent a paradigm shift in the management of severe CRSwNP, paving the way toward precision-based, individualized treatment strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: This systematic literature review, guided by PRISMA guidelines, evaluates the effectiveness of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts in reducing blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Method: Literature was searched in PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords including “Moringa oleifera,” “leaf extract,” “alloxan-induced diabetes,” and “blood glucose.” From 472 identified articles, 9 studies met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Results: Nearly all studies reported significant reductions in blood glucose levels following administration of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts at effective doses ranging from 200–800 mg/kg body weight over 14–28 days. Key mechanisms include protection of pancreatic β-cells from oxidative stress, enhanced insulin secretion, and improved insulin sensitivity. Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts exhibited antihyperglycemic effects, with aqueous extracts demonstrating faster onset and ethanolic extracts providing more sustained outcomes. Conclusion: These findings support the potential of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts as a natural antidiabetic agent in preclinical models. However, further research is required to standardize extraction methods, dosages, and molecular mechanisms to facilitate clinical translation in humans.

Abstract

Anesthesia is a fundamental component of modern surgical and interventional care, enabling procedures to be performed safely and humanely through the achievement of analgesia, hypnosis, amnesia, and appropriate muscle relaxation, while maintaining physiological homeostasis. Contemporary anesthetic practice extends beyond drug administration to encompass comprehensive perioperative management, including pre-anesthetic risk assessment, intraoperative monitoring, airway management, and postoperative recovery care. Advances in anesthetic pharmacology, monitoring technologies, and equipment design have substantially improved patient safety and expanded the scope of anesthesia across diverse clinical settings, including ambulatory surgery, non-operating room anesthesia, and critical care. The selection of anesthetic techniques, ranging from general, neuraxial, and regional anesthesia to monitored anesthesia care, is increasingly individualized and guided by surgical requirements, patient comorbidities, functional status, and patient preferences. Innovations such as ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, multimodal analgesia, processed electroencephalographic monitoring, and enhanced recovery pathways have further optimized perioperative outcomes while reducing complications and resource utilization costs. In parallel, the implementation of standardized safety protocols, improved communication strategies, and system-based approaches have contributed to a marked decline in anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. This review provides an integrated overview of the core principles of anesthesia, current clinical practices, and recent advances that continue to shape the evolution of anesthesiology toward a safer, more precise, and patient-centered perioperative care.
