Abstract

Introduction: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) 5D patient have potential to respiratory failure due to excess fluid, thus increasing the incidence of repeated hospital admissions. Deaths were reported in about 15%– 30% cases, where 50%–60% of patients needed respiratory support with mechanical ventilation. About 30%– 40% of patients had complications in the weaning process from mechanical ventilation. Prolonged mechanical ventilation increased mortality and morbidity, the length of stay periods and costs. Case Report: This case report will discuss the difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients with ESRD 5D who have respiratory failure due to edema pulmonary and pneumonia who were hospitalized at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hasan Sadikin Hospital - Bandung for 20 days Conclusion: Weaning difficulty due to accumulation positive fluid balance during hospitalization lead to longer use of mechanical ventilation and pulmonary infection get heavier. A positive cumulative fluid balance could be one factor of weaning difficulty

Abstract

Introduction: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of worldwide death. A number of markers have been identified in terms of the atherogenic potential of the lipid profile.The TG/HDL-C ratio is an easy and economical non-invasive examination method as a predictor of coronary heart disease severity. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship of the TG/HDL ratio with the severity of coronary lesions. Method: This cross-sectional study included 53 acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing coronary angiography. Exclusion criteria include (1)AMI patients receiving fibrinolytic therapy, (2) Patients who have routinely consumed lipid lowering drug for 6 weeks,(3) Incomplete coronary angiography and medical records. The TG/HDL ratio is the result of dividing the triglyceride value by HDL. The TG/HDL ratio was divided into 2 groups, namely the TG/HDL ratio <4 group and the TG/HDL ratio >4 group. The severity of coronary lesions was described by the SYNTAX score, which was divided into two: the low SYNTAX score group (≤22) and patients with a low SYNTAX score (≤22) and medium-high SYNTAX score (≥23). Bivariate analysis was performed to find the relationship between the TG/HDL ratio and the SYNTAX score. The value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: From 53 patients, 26 patients (49.1%) had a SYNTAX score ≥ 23 and 27 patients (50.9%) had a SYNTAX score < 23. Patients with NSTEMI, DM risk factors, and obesity were higher in the SYNTAX score group ≥23. From the results of statistical analysis, there was a significant relationship between the TG/HDL ratio with coronary lesion severity (p = 0,004). Conclusion: Enhancement of TG/HDL ratio is correlated with coronary lesion severity in acute myocardial infarction patients using the SYNTAX score.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome mainly occurs as a result of plaque rupture of atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a large glycoprotein, playing a role in lipoprotein metabolism and human lipid transport reflecting the number of circulating atherogenic particles. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of serum apoB levels with coronary lesion severity. Method: This is a cross-sectional study involving patients who was diagnosed with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent coronary angiography in November 2021 to July 2022. The NSTEMI criteria follow the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction and coronary severity is assessed using a SYNTAX score. Bivariate analysis was conducted looking for the relationship between apoB with SYNTAX scores with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The subjects of the study is 70 people, dominated by male 50 patients (71.4%). The median age of the subjects was 56 (38-77) years. Median levels of apoB was 107 (32-150) mg/dL. The average SYNTAX score was 25.66 ± 10.83. Using the Pearson correlation test, it was shown that there is a significant correlation between apoB and coronary lesion severity obtained r=0.442 (p<0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between apoB and coronary lesion severity using SYNTAX scores in NSTEMI patients.

Abstract

Introduction: CT is widely used to evaluate patients with aneurysm or aortic dissection. Therefore, it is very important to assess accurate aortic size in detecting aneurysm and dissection. The thoracic aortic diameter varies depending on the measurement level. Several demographic factors affect the thoracic aorta diameter such as age and gender. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as hypertension also have a relationship with the diameter of the thoracic aorta. To determine the difference of thoracic aorta diameter based on age, sex, and history of hypertension in patients with contrast-enhanced CT chest. Method: A case-control study in 140 patients with contrast-enhanced CT chest without signs or symptoms of car¬diovascular diseases. Thoracic aortic diameters were measured at seven predetermined levels on CT images. Analysis of data was performed with regard to age, sex, and hypertension. Results: The mean diameters of the thoracic aorta at the level of the aortic valve sinus is 3.06 ± 0.39 cm, ascending aorta 2.90 ± 0.39 cm, proximal to innominate artery 2.73 ± 0.39 cm, transverse aortic arch 2.53 ± 0.38, distal transverse aortic arch 2.37 ± 0.35, aortic isthmus 2.17 ± 0.33, and descending aorta at the level of diaphragm 1.91 ± 0.33 cm. There is a significant difference in all thoracic aortic diameters based on age and gender on statistical analysis (p<0.001). There is a significant difference in all thoracic aortic diameters between subjects with history of hypertension and without history of hypertension, except at the level of transverse aortic arch (p<0.051). Conclusion: There is a difference in the mean thoracic aortic diameter at each level of measurement based on age, sex, and history of hypertension in patients with contrast-enhanced CT chest.

Abstract

Introduction: Kidneys have filtration and excretion functions; the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered the best indicator of kidney function and may indicate abnormalities. Kidney volume can be an early indicator of kidney disorders before there is a decrease in kidney function. Changes in kidney volume may indicate structural and functional changes that indicate a disorder or disease progression. Radiological examination such as a CT-Scan has an important role in measuring the size and kidney volume and assessing kidney morphological changes for the diagnosis and staging of kidney disease as well as planning therapy. Objective: This study aims to find a correlation between the estimated kidney volume with the ellipsoid method through CT scanning and estimated kidney function by glomerular filtration rate in patients with normal kidneys. Method: An analytical study used a case-series design; all subjects were patients who had normal CT-Scan results and normal kidney function at the Haji Adam Malik Hospital in Medan in 2020–2021. Used the consecutive sampling technique and had 90 total samples. Results: There is a moderately positive correlation (r = 0,410-0,499) between volume and kidney function. A moderately negative correlation (r = -0,196 to -0,282) between kidney volume and age. A moderately positive correlation (r = 0,456-0,548) between kidney volume and body weight. There is a moderately negative correlation (r = -0.495) between renal function and age. A moderately positive correlation (r = 0,567) between renal function and body weight. Conclusion: there is a correlation between kidney volume and kidney function, the correlation between kidney volume and body weight, the correlation between kidney function and body weight.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic neuropathy is a common and progressive microvascular complication of diabetes, so early detection and prevention is very important. Other modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, or central obesity can be managed. Central obesity with insulin resistance is a key pathophysiological factor in the metabolic syndrome. Waist hip ratio (WHR) has been proposed as a tool for detecting central obesity. Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS) is a diabetic neuropathy scoring system that has high sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between waist hip ratio and the severity of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in type 2 Diabetes Melitus (DM) according to the Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS). Method: This study used a cross-sectional design. Sampling was conducted at the Endocrinology Polyclinic and Neurology Polyclinic Hospital H. Adam Malik Medan. The research sample was taken as many as 45 subjects consecutively. TCSS examination is performed to diagnose and determine the severity of diabetic neuropathy Therefore, waist hip ratio was calculated to assess central obesity. Data analysis using Chi Square test. Results: On the demographic characteristics of the research subjects were male, age range 51-60 years, high school education level, not working, history of DM 5-10 years. The mean value of WHR is 0.87±0.051. Median TCSS Score 10 (6-16). The majority of subjects had mild diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Patients with central obesity had a grading of neuropathy that was classified as severe as many as 13 people (56.5%), moderate as many as 7 people (30.4%), and mild as many as 3 people (13.0%). While patients who are not obese have a grading of neuropathy that is classified as severe as many as 1 person (4.5%), moderate as many as 5 people (22.7%), mild as many as 16 people (72.7%). Based on the Chi Square test, it was found that there was a significant association between the waist hip ratio and the severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 DM patients with p<0.01. Conclusion: There is a statistically significant association between waist hip ratio and the severity of diabetic neuropathy in type 2 DM with p < 0.01.
