Abstract

Introduction: TID ratio derived from ratio of LV volume in stress and rest phase of MPS. It is said that this phenomenon has been a useful marker of severe CAD, that can be present with atypical angina. This occurs due to global myocardial hypoperfusion caused by severe and extensive CAD. Method: This study was an analytic observational study with a retrospective cohort design in CCS patients who underwent Myocardial Perfusion SPECT at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital from January 2022 to April 2023.  All participants underwent MPS with Tc99m sestamibi with pharmacology Adenosine stress test and coronary angiography. The MPS could be performed before or after coronary angiography without any revascularization procedure between the two examination preocedures. An unpaired t-test analysis was performed to find the mean difference in TID values in the mild CAD and moderate-severe CAD groups. Results: The study subjects totaled 93 people with an average age of 55.87±7.44. It was found that the TID value was significantly different between the two groups of mild and moderate-severe CAD based on Syntax score, 0.906±0.13 vs 1.03±0.11 in the mild vs moderate-severe CAD group (p<0.001). Bivariate analysis showed that in this study, the ratio of TID was only associate with LV ESV and LV EDV in stress phase of MPS (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a relationship between TID and CAD severity based on Syntax score with higher TID values in patients with moderate-severe CAD compared to patients with mild CAD. TID ratio was only depends on severity od CAD and directly proportional to the volume of LV in the stress phase, suitable to the theory that said TID ratio comes from ratio of LV volume in stress and rest phase of MPS.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome results from rupture or erosion of an atherosclerotic plaque. D-dimer is a direct marker of fibronolysis events and an indirect marker of hypercoagulable state associated with atherosclerotic plaque formation and acute coronary syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between D-dimer levels and the severity of coronary lesions in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction patients at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Method: This study was conducted with a cross-sectional method on 72 ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction patients at H. Adam Malik Medan Hospital who underwent coronary angiography from December 2022 to May 2023. Definition of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction followed the definition of Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction and the severity of coronary lesions was calculated based on syntax score. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using SPSS to assess the association of D-dimer levels with syntax score with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The total study subjects were 72 people with an average age of 56,5410,84years. Most of the study samples were male 56 people (77.8%). The median D-dimer level was 605 and mean syntax score 22.027 + 14.61. There is a significant relationship between D-dimer levels and the severity of coronary lesions based on the syntax score (p: <0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between D-dimer and severity of coronary lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan.

Abstract

Introduction: Lung protective strategy was meant to decrese risk of ventilatory induced lung injury  without reducing benefit of ventilator. One of the approaches were the use of compliance and mechanical power (MP). Compliance was used to determine how large lung was recruited after ventilatory support. Mechanical power was used to determined enough ventilatory support to that patient. Case Report: We reported 36 years old female, whom admitted to ICU with diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome  caused by community acquired pneumonia. Patient was given pressure controlled ventilation with driving pressure 15cmH2O, positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5 cmH2O, respiratory rate of 20x/min. We used compliance and MP to decide ventilator setting which benefit the patient. At the initial ventilator setting compliance and MP were 15.67 cc/mmHg, and 9.21 joule/min respectedly. The PEEP was increase gradually to 12 cmH2O. Compliance and MP were also increase to 41.67 cc/mmHg and 32.91 joule/min respectedly. Driving pressure was decrease to meet desirable volume tidal 6cc/kg and desirable MP below 22 joule/min. The PEEP was maintained until pneumonia resolved. Patient was extubated in ninth day. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the use of compliance and MP would help customize ventilatory support the patient need. They would help critical care clinician in making decision to prioritize need of ventilatory support in each individual patient.

Abstract

Menopause-induced hormonal changes can lead to skin problems. The decline in estradiol levels can adversely affect various physiological functions, including skin changes like atrophy, wrinkles, poor wound healing, and a decline in perceived facial attractiveness due to reduced hydration. Effective skincare that can be done to prevent the above problems is by drinking 8 glasses of water a day, consuming vitamins, one of which is vitamin C, consuming antioxidants, using sunscreen, using facial moisturizer, and cleaning your face properly and appropriately. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and plays an important role in collagen formation. Vitamin C is often found as a constituent of the dermis and epidermis layers in normal skin. However, due to the aging process, the vitamin C content in the dermis and epidermis layers could decrease. Vitamin C has been shown to stabilize collagen mRNA, thereby increasing collagen synthesis to improve skin aging. By implementing these strategies, postmenopausal women can effectively manage skincare and maintain healthy, beauty, vibrant, and glowing skin that looks and feels great.

Abstract

Introduction: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common condition that often occurs in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis, and it is associated with a poor prognosis in these patients. The worsening of LVH symptoms in patients undergoing hemodialysis is the strongest predictor of sudden cardiac death in such individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between serum ferritin levels and left ventricular function in patients undergoing hemodialysis at RSUP Haji Adam Malik, Medan. Method: The design of this study is a cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling. The study population consists of patients undergoing regular hemodialysis, and the population includes patients who undergo regular hemodialysis in RSUP H. Adam Malik. Results: There was a significant relationship between hemoglobin, albumin, and serum ferritin levels with left ventricular function (p < 0.005). Hemoglobin showed a moderate positive correlation with LVEF (r = 0.477). The relationship between albumin and LVEF had a stronger correlation (r = 0.681). There was a strong and significant negative correlation between serum ferritin and LVEF (r = -0.961). Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between hemoglobin levels, albumin levels, mean serum ferritin level, and left ventricular function in hemodialysis patients. Hemoglobin and albumin showed a positive correlation with left ventricular function, while serum ferritin level had a significant and strong negative correlation with left ventricular function.

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).

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue is endemic to the Southeastern geographical area of Asia (SEA), spreading through the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti. There is also evidence to suggest a higher percentage of severe dengue infections happening to pregnant women than non-pregnant women. Case Report: The patient was 28 years old, weight 120 kg, height 162 cm, admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) of Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) with dyspnea in pregnancy. Anamnesis obtained that the patient complained of fever since 5 days ago, the last 1 day felt increasing shortness of breath. Intraoperatively lasted 3 hours with bleeding 4300 ml. The patient was admitted to the ICU for 5 days of treatment and was extubated on the 4th day Conclusion: Dengue Fever with morbid obese in pregnancy is a threat of morbidity and mortality. The main pathophysiology that occurs is changes in hematological and respiratory physiology in pregnancy which will aggravate the patient's condition. The principle of therapeutic management in the ICU lies in optimization, stabilization and evacuation of fluids and handling mechanical ventilation
