Abstract

Introduction: C oronary intervention (coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention) is a medical procedure that uses significant amounts of contrast, which can lead to an increased incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). This study aimed to determine the risk factors for contrast-induced nephrop athy in patients undergoing coronary intervention procedures at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytic observational study. A total of 100 research subjects participated in this study. Univariate analysis of the frequency distribution was performed on the variable test. Bivariate analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with CIN in patients undergoing coronary intervention procedures, p<0.05. Results: The results of the study showed that contrast volume ≥ 100 ml was associated with the incidence of CIN, p<0.05. In addition, serum creatinine level > 1.5 mg/dL was associated with the incidence of CIN, p<0.05. Conclusion: Contrast volume ≥ 100 ml and serum creatinine level > 1.5 mg/dl increase the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary intervention procedures at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a general term that refers to the presence of microorganisms in the urine. Bacteria and fungi are the causative agents of urinary tract infections, which can be found in the urine of someone who is indicated to be suffering from a urinary tract infection. This study aimed to provide an overvie w of microorganisms that cause urinary tract infections in Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh, Indonesia. Methods: This study is a descriptive observati onal study. A total of 100 research subjects participated in this study. Data analysis on the distribution of microorganisms that cause UTIs was carried out in a univariate. Results: The majority of microorganisms that cause urinary tract infections are Escherichia coli. In addition, other microorganisms as the cause of urinary tract infections are Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusion: Escherichia coli is the most common microorganism that causes urinary tract infections at Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh, Indonesia.

Abstract

The conduction system of the cardiac initiates and coordinates the electrical signals that cause rhythmic and synchronous contraction of the atria and ventricles. This literature review aims to describe the electrophysiology of the cardiac conducti on system. Electrical impulses usually arise in the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node is innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. Each act ion potential moves rapidly from cell to cell and through the myocardium of the atria, onto the atrioventricular node (AV node), and causes both atria to contract and begin systole. The AV node, located on the right atrial wall superior to the tricuspid valve and anterior to the coronary sinus ostium, conducts action potentials into the ventricles. From the AV node, the conducting fibers converge t o form the bundle of His (atrioventricular bundle) within the posterior border of the interventricular septum.

Abstract

Constipation can occur as a primary or secondary condition. This literature review aimed to describe the diagnosis and management of constipation. Primary constipation is generally classified into three categories. Normal transit (functional) constipation involves a normal rate of passage of stool, but there is difficulty wit h the evacuation of the stool. Functional constipation is most common and is associated with a sedentary lifestyle, a low-residue diet (consumption of very refined foods), or low fluid intake, which decreases stool volume and bulk and can lead to constipation. Lack of access to toilet facilities, consistent su ppression of the urge to empty the bowels, and dehydration are other causes. Slow transit constipation involves impaired motor activity of the colon with infrequent bowel movements, straining to have a bowel movement, mild abdomi nal distention, and palpable stool in the sigmoid colon. Pelvic floor dysfunction (pelvic floor dyssynergia-anismus), or outlet dysfunction, is difficulty pas sing stool due to failure of the pelvic floor muscles or anal sphincter to relax with a bowel movement.

Abstract

Erythropoiesis is the development of red blood cells. Within the confines of the bone marrow, erythroid progenitor cells proliferate and differentiate into large nucleated proerythroblasts, which are committed to producing cells of the erythroid series. Th is literature review aimed to describe the physiology of erythropoiesis and its application in medical science. All stages of erythroid development are ref erred to as the erythron. Proerythroblasts, which possess ribosomes and can produce proteins, differentiate through several forms between erythroblasts while synthesizing hemoglobin and progressively removing most of th e intracellular structures, including the nucleus. Thus the mature erythroblast becomes more compact and progressively takes on the shape and character istics of the erythrocyte. Hemoglobin is easily seen, and its amount increases as the size of the nucleus decreases during the basophilic and polychromatophilic stages. The orthochromatic erythroblast (normoblast) is the smallest of the nucleated erythrocyte precursors.

Abstract

Introduction: Sepsis profoundly complicates diabetes mellitus, yielding disproportionately high mortality. Clinicians traditionally utilize absolute admission blood glucose for risk stratification. However, this metric is fundamentally flawed in pre-existing diabetes because chronic hyperglycemia alters the physiological baseline. The concept of dissociated glycemic status—quantified as the stress hyperglycemia ratio or glycemic gap—captures the discordance between acute stress hyperglycemia and chronic Hemoglobin A1c. This study investigated whether dissociated status serves as a superior predictor of sepsis mortality compared to absolute hyperglycemia, with a specific subgroup focus on the distinct pathophysiology of Type 1 Diabetes. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of eight manuscripts, including registry data, clinical cohorts, and pre-clinical models was conducted. The human incidence cohort encompassed over 300,000 subjects; the mortality analysis included approximately 3,500 patients. The primary exposure was dissociated glycemic status. The primary outcome was sepsis-related mortality. Animal model data and glycemic variability metrics were strictly segregated from the primary quantitative synthesis. Data were synthesized using a random-effects model, assessing heterogeneity via the I-squared statistic, alongside a comprehensive risk of bias assessment. Results: Absolute hyperglycemia failed to independently predict mortality when adjusted for chronic control. A high dissociated glycemic status is strongly associated with mortality (Pooled Odds Ratio 2.14; 95 % Confidence Interval 1.65 to 2.78; I2 42 percent). Separate analysis demonstrated that glycemic variability independently increased mortality risk. Type 1 Diabetes patients exhibited a 3.7-fold increase in sepsis hospitalization compared to controls. Review of pre-clinical models suggested this vulnerability in Type 1 Diabetes is driven by an immunoparalysis phenotype rather than a classic cytokine storm. Conclusion: The interaction between acute and chronic glycemia dictates survival in diabetic sepsis. Dissociated glycemic status represents a critical vital sign indicating a failure of metabolic and immune homeostasis.
