Abstract

Hepatic abscess is a severe infection characterized by pus accumulation within the liver, often caused by bacterial or amoebic pathogens. This case report discusses the diagnostic challenges and management of bilateral hepatic abscesses in a resource-limited setting. A 43-year-old male presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, jaundice, and systemic symptoms. Diagnostic investigations, including ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced CT scan, revealed abscesses in the right and left hepatic lobes. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated liver enzymes. The patient was treated with empiric antibiotics and underwent laparotomy for abscess drainage, yielding 1700 cc of pus. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with significant clinical improvement. This study highlights the importance of a combined medical and surgical approach in managing complex hepatic abscess cases, particularly in settings with limited diagnostic resources. The findings emphasize early diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and tailored treatment strategies to improve outcomes for patients with hepatic abscesses, especially in underserved regions.

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) remains a major clinical challenge, with two main phenotypes: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). These conditions exhibit distinct pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic responses, requiring distinct management approaches. The four pillars of HFrEF therapy—renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, β-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors—have been shown to reduce mortality and morbidity. In contrast, HFpEF management focuses more on risk factor control and symptom-based therapy, with SGLT2 inhibitors being the only treatment that has shown significant clinical benefit. This literature review aims to evaluate the different roles of the four pillars of therapy in both phenotypes of heart failure and their implications for clinical practice. Although HFrEF treatment has made significant progress with strong clinical trial evidence, HFpEF management still requires further exploration to identify more effective strategies. Therefore, a deeper understanding of each phenotype's pathophysiology and therapeutic response is essential to improve patient outcomes and optimize heart failure management.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of garlic extract (GE) on the inhibition of Enterococcus faecalis (EF) bacterial growth. This study is a laboratory experimental research with a true experimental post-test only control group design, conducted in vitro using the well diffusion method. The experimental group consists of EF bacteria treated with different concentrations of GE, while the control group consists of EF bacteria treated with 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) as the positive control (PC) and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the negative control (NC). This study aims to observe the inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of bacterial growth after treatment with different concentrations of GE or control agents, measured in millimeters using a caliper. Phytochemical test revealed that the GE used in this study contains secondary metabolite compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, saponins, and steroids, resulting in an IZD of 5.85 ± 0.26 at 100% GE and 3.25 ± 0.27 at 75% GE. The IZD formed on PC was 17.34 ± 0.33, and no IZD was formed on 50% GE or NC. The effect of GE in inhibiting the growth of EF was observed by the presence of inhibition zones at 100% and 75% concentrations, although it was not yet able to match the effectiveness of 0.2% CHX.

Abstract

Cardiac remodeling refers to structural, functional, and molecular changes in the heart in response to stress or injury. These alterations, involving both cellular and interstitial changes, contribute to the progression of heart disease. Long-term activation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) exacerbates these changes, leading to systemic vasoconstriction, sodium and water retention, and ventricular remodeling, which accelerates disease progression. Neurohormonal activation is essential in compensating for falling cardiac output in heart failure (HF), but it also plays a major role in the progression of the disease. This study explores the role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAA) and the sympathetic nervous system in cardiac remodeling, particularly in heart failure, and the influence of genetic factors on drug response. The research focuses on the ß2-Adrenergic Gln/Gln Receptor genotype, a key genetic variant relevant to pharmacogenomics in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) treatment. Using a comprehensive review of clinical and experimental data, this study highlights how genetic polymorphisms affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs. The findings indicate that while the ß2-Adrenergic Gln/Gln Receptor genotype significantly influences drug efficacy, the challenges in applying personalized treatments based on genetic data require significant time and cost investments. The study's implications emphasize the need for personalized therapies and enhanced pharmacogenomic research to improve treatment outcomes in heart failure management, particularly in drug response and disease progression.

Abstract

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a widely used analytical method for the separation, identification, and quantification of compounds in complex biological matrices, such as plasma, serum, and urine. This article discusses the analysis and validation of the effectiveness of antidiabetic drugs using HPLC, focusing on sample preparation, column selection, mobile phase, and detectors used. Method validation is performed to ensure parameters such as specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ) are met. Literature study from 18 journals showed that HPLC is a sensitive, specific, and efficient method for antidiabetic drug analysis. Preparation techniques such as protein precipitation and solid-phase extraction provide optimal results in minimizing biological matrix interferences. In addition, the Photodiode Array (PDA) detector proved superior in terms of sensitivity and analyzability at low concentrations compared to other detectors. By fulfilling all validation parameters, HPLC can be relied upon as a primary method for the analysis of antidiabetic drugs in biological matrices.
