Abstract

The skin is a particular organ that shields the body from physical stress and other external stresses. There are three layers of skin: epidermis, dermis, and subcutis. The three layers act as interrelated units in carrying out the above functions. One of the skin diseases that can be found is an autoimmune blister or bullous disease that can affect children. Autoimmune bullous or blisters are rare in children, but their quality of life is compromised if they suffer from this disease. Included in autoimmune bullous diseases in children are Linear Immunoglobulin A Bullous Dermatosis (LABD), Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH), Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV), Pemphigus Foliaceus (PF), Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP), Bullous Pemphigoid (BP), Mucous Membrane (cicatricial) Pemphigoid (MMP), Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA). Diagnosing and treating patients with autoimmune bullous diseases is challenging for clinicians. The skin of infants and children is anatomically thinner than adults, so they are more prone to develop bullae when traumatized.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a systemic disorder resulting from impaired glucose metabolism characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Caused by damage to pancreatic β cells either by autoimmune or idiopathic processes resulting in reduced or even halted insulin production. Diabetes mellitus is associated with a decrease in calcium with impaired intestinal calcium absorption and hypercalciuria which causes a decrease in calcium absorption into the body. Method: This study used a prospective study method to assess the correlation between HbA1C levels and calcium levels in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This research was conducted  in the Endocrinology Outpatient Unit of Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan, May 2022 to December 2022. The samples were children aged 1 month to 18 years. Results: Correlation is measured using Pearson correlation analysis for normally distributed data while Spearman correlation is used for data that was not normally distributed. There is a significant correlation between the HbA1c and calcium levels with a p value of 0.026 and a correlation value of (r= -0.445). The correlation value is negative, meaning that every increase in HbA1c levels will be followed by a decrease in serum calcium levels in children with type I diabetes, with moderate strength (r= 0.4 – 0.6). This effect is not influenced by diseases duration and onset of diabetes. Conclusion: There is a decrease in calcium in type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Introduction: Fibrinogen is a prognostic biomarker in septic children, lower fibrinogen levels are closely related to higher risk of death. Organ dysfunction was diagnosed based on PELOD-2 score. The aim of this study was to determine the corelation between fibrinogen levels and PELOD-2 score as a predictor of mortality in pediatric patient with sepsis treated in the PICU and HCU at H. Adam Malik General Hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study of pediatric patients with sepsis treated in the PICU and HCU H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Correlation of fibrinogen levels with PELOD-2 scores was seen on day I and day III of treatment in patient aged 1 month to 18 years with a hospital stay of at least 72 hours and were analyzed using the Spearman test and the relationship between fibrinogen and mortality was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: 50 subjects were recruited in this study, fibrinogen levels had no correlation with PELOD-2 score day I (p = 0,074, r = -0,225) and with PELOD-2 score days III (p = 0,110, r = -0,229) and with mortality (p = 0,160). Conclusion: Fibrinogen levels were not correlate with PELOD-2 score as a predictive factor for mortality in septic children.

Abstract

Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a chronic autoimmune illness with a broad range of clinical symptoms. These conditions can range from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects different organ systems in the body, to cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), which affects only the skin. The precise pathophysiology of CLE is unknown, although it appears to include a complicated interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental stimuli such as UV light, medications, trauma, and hormones. The emergence of the inflammatory infiltrate seen in CLE lesions has also been documented in several studies; this information is crucial for figuring out which specific inflammatory mediators are responsible for tissue damage. Currently prescribed medications for CLE often include antimalarials, systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and immunomodulators; cytotoxic drugs are only used in the most severe instances.

Abstract

Introduction: Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheotomy (PDT) is a procedure established for the management of airway and ventilation in the medium to long term for critically ill patients in the ICU. Bleeding is one of the most frequent early complications of tracheostomy. The comorbid conditions of critically ill patients increase the risk of bleeding complications. The aim of this case was to identify factors that increase the risk of bleeding complications in critically ill patients undergoing Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy (PDT) and its management Case: Two cases of patients experiencing bleeding complications after PDT were reported. The bleeding in these patients were suspected to be caused by coagulation disorders due to sepsis and chronic kidney disease. The bleeding occurred on day-1 and 2 post-PDT procedure. Bleeding complications that were not resolved with general management were managed by subcutaneous suturing in the anatomical region of branching arteries and veins that supply the trachea. Conclusion: Bleeding after PDT are a part of early complications of tracheostomy procedures. This complication is more often found in critically ill patients. Management can be carried out by suturing the anatomical region of branching arteries and veins supplying the trachea.

Abstract

Introduction: Exfoliative dermatitis (ED) is a skin disorder characterized by the presence of erythema and scaling of the skin involving more than 90% of the total body surface area. One of the main etiologic factor of ED is drug hypersensitivity reaction. Vaccine administration can result in allergic reactions. The aim of this case report is to provide information on one of the forms of allergy to the COVID-19 vaccine, which can be ED. Case: A woman, 61 years old, with complaints of reddish patches accompanied by thickened scales and spread throughout the body accompanied by itching, pain in the skin, experiencing fatigue and chills since 3 days ago before the patient said she had received COVID-19 booster vaccine. The patient was diagnosed with generalised exfoliative dermatitis suspected to be caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient was given therapy with oral methylprednisolone 36 mg/day with tapering if there was improvement, and topical urea 10% cream and hydrocortisone 2.5 % cream (face) and desoxymethasone 0.25 % cream (body). Discussion: ED is more common in men than women, with the highest incidence at the age of 40-60 years. The underlying therapy of ED is to address the aetiology and potential complications. The therapy was corticosteroids at a dose of 1-2 mg/kg/day with tapering, emollients and topical corticosteroids. The patient was given these therapies, showed clinical improvement within 5 weeks of treatment and no side effects. Conclusion: Exfoliative dermatitis can be idiopathic or secondary to drug hypersensitivity including vaccine administration. A complete history including history of drug administration and a thorough physical examination are required so that treatment can be given appropriately.

Abstract

Introduction: Renal dysfunction is a new risk factor that is thought to influence the clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke. In this case, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value is used as an approach to assess kidney function status in acute ischemic stroke patients. This study aims to find the relationship between eGFR and clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke. Method: 70 samples were obtained according to inclusion criteria. eGFR is calculated within first week of stroke onset using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula. A normality test was carried out on the data, then determined the correlation and compared eGFR with good [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2] and poor (mRS 3-6) clinical outcomes on the 30th day. Results: In this study, the average age of the sample was 61.37 years. The largest population was in the 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 eGFR group (38,6%). The mean eGFR (p<0.001) for all samples, good, and bad outcome groups was respectively 59.90 ± 21.09, 79.79 ± 19.21, and 52.49 ± 16.57. In this study the poor outcome group had a lower mean eGFR than the good outcome group (52.49 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs 79.79 mL/min/1.73 m2), with a cut-off value of 62 mL/min/1.73 m2 (sensitivity 80.39%, specificity 84.21%) tended to have worse clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, eGFR has a relationship with clinical outcomes (p<0.001) and can objectively predict clinical outcomes on the 30th day of acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke has caused around 15.5% of all deaths. Evaluation of factors that worsen clinical outcomes is necessary to avoid complications such as renal dysfunction and secondary dyslipidaemia. This study aims to determine the relationship between increasing serum HDL levels and blood urea nitrogen–serum creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) on clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke. Method: Prospective cohort study was used with subjects being first-onset acute ischemic stroke patients. Demographic, clinical data, and assessment of BUN/Cr and HDL ratios were collected. Subjects were divided into good clinical outcome (mRS 0-2) and poor clinical outcome (mRS 3-6) groups, and then analysed using multiple linear regression multivariate analysis with confidence interval of 95%. Results: 60 participants met the inclusion criteria. There was a significant relationship between serum BCR levels and poor clinical outcomes (p <0.001) relationship between serum HDL levels and poor clinical outcomes also shown significances (p <0.001) Mean BCR in good and poor clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke were (17.08±30.13) and (29.35±67.30) respectively. Mean HDL in good and poor clinical outcomes were (39± 62) and (41 ± 92) respectively.  A multiple linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation (p <0.001) between increasing Serum HDL levels and Bun/Cr ratio simultaneously to poor clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients. The Cut-off point was 20.9 for BUN to creatinine ratio and 46 mg/dL at serum HDL. Both of BUN/Cr ratio and HDL were shown high specificity and could be used as predictors of clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients. Conclusion: Increased BUN/Cr ratio and increased serum HDL levels were associated with clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract

Introduction: Currently, the Functional Outcome in Patients With Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage (FUNC) score, Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) score, and Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) score are utilized to predict outcomes in non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The high mortality rate in non-traumatic ICH patients emphasizes the importance of scoring systems as predictive models for mortality prognosis. The aim of this study was to determine a short-term prognostic model for non-traumatic ICH patients by combining FUNC score, FOUR score, and ICH score. Method: This observational cohort study took place at the neurology ward and Intensive Care Unit of RSUP H. Adam Malik – Medan, from March to September 2023. Subjects meeting the study criteria were observed for 30 days to assess short-term outcomes (mortality). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was then conducted for the combined scores. Results: Significant effects were found between FUNC score, FOUR score, and ICH score on short-term mortality in non-traumatic ICH patients, each with a p-value < 0.001. However, the multivariate logistic regression analysis yielded statistically non-significant results (p > 0.05). Conclusion: While FUNC, FOUR, and ICH scores individually show a significant correlation with short-term mortality in non-traumatic ICH patients, their combination is ineffective for predicting mortality in this group.

Abstract

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the immune system's attack on the peripheral nerves. It is typically preceded by an infection, such as a respiratory or gastrointestinal infection, although the exact cause is still unknown. While GBS can occur in anyone, its occurrence during pregnancy poses unique challenges and considerations. GBS in pregnancy is relatively uncommon, but it is a critical condition that requires careful management due to the potential risks to both the mother and the developing fetus. Pregnant women with GBS may present with a variety of symptoms, including muscle weakness, tingling sensations, and loss of reflexes. These symptoms often start in the legs and can progress to the arms and upper body. Early diagnosis and early definitive treatment has promising outcome for GBS in pregnancy. We report this case to review management of GBS in pregnancy.
