Abstract

The quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) reflects how well an individual's needs are met across three physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Measuring a patient's quality of life (QoL) helps evaluate the effectiveness of CKD therapies. This study compares patients' clinical conditions categorised by their quality of life while undergoing hemodialysis therapy for chronic kidney failure. This study compares the clinical conditions of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis based on their QoL, using a cross-sectional design involving 82 patients from Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang. QoL was assessed with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, and demographic data were collected through interviews. Clinical data was sourced from electronic medical records. Logistic regression analysis identified influencing variables on QoL. The sample was predominantly female (62.2%), with most patients over 45 years old, meeting minimum education standards (61%), and 67.1% unemployed. Most identified as Muslim and married, with 98.8% reporting strong family support. While bivariate analysis showed no significant impact of demographic or clinical variables on QoL, multivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship with haemoglobin levels. While other factors like family support and knowledge contribute to well-being, further research with larger, more varied samples is needed to better understand the quality-of-life influences for CKD patients on hemodialysis.

Abstract

An umbilical granuloma is a small, granulation tissue-filled swelling at the base of the umbilicus, commonly occurring in newborns. Various treatment options are available, including the topical application of common salt; however, its availability varies across healthcare facilities, and the most effective method remains uncertain. This serial case report describes infants presenting with umbilical masses accompanied by discharge. Physical examination revealed a flesh-like, protruding mass from the umbilicus, associated with yellowish and reddish discharge and surrounding normal skin. The granuloma was resolved entirely through the topical application of common salt. Our findings suggest that common salt is an effective, simple, and inexpensive treatment for umbilical granuloma. With regular monitoring, this approach could serve as a viable alternative to more advanced therapies.

Abstract

A tumour is an abnormal mass of tissue that does not contain cysts or fluid. According to the Global Cancer Statistics, approximately 275,000 children worldwide were diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Among pediatric solid tumours, the most common types include neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and Ewing sarcoma. This study aims to analyse the prevalence and characteristics of solid tumours in children treated at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilising retrospective data from medical records. The study population comprised pediatric inpatients and outpatients aged 0 to 17 years who underwent pathological or radiological examinations between 2018 and 2024. Data analysed included demographic details (age, gender), presenting symptoms, and blood test results. The study identified 22 pediatric patients with solid tumours, with Rhabdomyosarcoma and Teratoma being the most common types. The gender distribution was evenly split between males and females. Notably, 73% of the patients showed recovery. Common presenting symptoms included palpable lumps (45%) and pain (41%). Blood tests revealed that haemoglobin levels in children aged 2-9 years were below the usual lower limit (8.21 ± 4.88 g/dL). White blood cell counts in the same age group were abnormal, averaging 11.20 ± 8.36  103/µL. Platelet counts across the age span of 1 month to 17 years were elevated, with a mean of 412.33 ± 224.11 103/µL. In conclusion, the supporting laboratory examinations frequently indicated anaemia, leukocytosis, and thrombocytosis among pediatric tumour patients. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive diagnostic assessments in managing pediatric solid tumours.

Abstract

Acne scars are permanent sequelae of acne vulgaris, classified into hypertrophic, keloid, and atrophic types. Treatment strategies include non-invasive, minimally invasive, and invasive modalities. This systematic review evaluates clinical studies from the past decade on surgical and related interventions for acne scars. Using PRISMA guidelines, searches were conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Epistemonikos with keywords related to "acne scar" and "surgical therapy." Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria out of 396 screened articles. The modalities examined encompass TCA CROSS, radiofrequency (RF) micro-needling, fractional microplasma RF, fractional bipolar RF, fractional CO₂ laser, erbium YAG (2940 nm), 1550 nm erbium, 1540 nm erbium glass, subcision, punch techniques, microdermabrasion, needling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid fillers, hybrid energy devices, trifractional technology, and human adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ASCE). Results demonstrated variable efficacy, with predominantly positive outcomes across modalities. Specific treatments showed better suitability for certain scar types; however, all carry potential risks of adverse effects, emphasizing the need for cautious application and patient management. Limitations include small sample sizes and heterogeneity among studies, which may affect the generalizability of findings. This review highlights the diversity of surgical and minimally invasive options for acne scar management, supporting tailored treatment approaches based on scar morphology and patient factors.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant nutritional challenge in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia, with zinc deficiency identified as a contributing factor to impaired linear growth in early childhood. Zinc is critical for growth hormone synthesis, bone development, and immune regulation. Despite existing intervention programs, stunting prevalence in Indonesia remained at 19.8% in 2024. This study evaluated the effect of zinc supplementation on the linear growth of stunted children aged 0–5 years attending Bangetayu and Genuk Public Health Centres in Semarang. Employing an observational analytic design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, 42 stunted toddlers received a daily oral dose of 20 mg zinc sulfate syrup for two months. Anthropometric measurements were recorded before and after the intervention, with paired T-tests applied to normally distributed data and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests to non-normal data. After two months of supplementation, 86% of the participants demonstrated improvements in both height and weight. The mean height increased from 79.9 cm to 81.0 cm (p < 0.001), while the mean weight increased from 9.28 kg to 9.74 kg (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that zinc supplementation significantly enhances linear growth among stunted toddlers. Consequently, integrating zinc supplementation into national nutrition intervention strategies could be pivotal in reducing early childhood stunting.

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, associated with significant morbidity and healthcare costs. The progression of DFUs is influenced by systemic and local factors, including haemoglobin levels, leukocyte count, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and serum albumin. This study aims to explore the relationship between these clinical parameters and the severity of DFUs. We enrolled 62 patients with DFUs and classified ulcer severity as mild, moderate, or severe according to the Wagner classification system. Using Spearman’s rank correlation, we found significant associations: lower hemoglobin and albumin levels correlated with more severe ulcers (ρ = -0.34, p= 0.0065; ρ = -0.41, p = 0.00084, respectively), while higher HbA1c and leukocyte counts were associated with increased ulcer severity (ρ = 0.62, p = 0.000; ρ = 0.40, p = 0.0013, respectively). These findings suggest that hematologic and biochemical markers may serve as valuable indicators of DFU progression, potentially guiding clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and evaluate targeted interventions for this high-risk population.
