Abstract

Lupus erythematosus (LE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease with a broad clinical spectrum of multi-organ inflammation and can be life-threatening. Manifestations of LE can occur confined to the skin (cutaneous lupus erythematosus, CLE) or systemic involving several organs such as the kidneys, heart, and lungs (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE). We report a female, 27-year-old with complaints of black spots on her back, stomach area, hands, and feet. The patient feels that the spots increase when doing activities outside the home. Patients also complain of fever, pain when swallowing, joint pain, fatigue, and hair loss. Dermatological status in the abdominal, posterior thoracic, and extremities regions shows the presence of macules accompanied by hyperpigmented patches with unclear borders, irregular edges, gutta-plaque size, multiple numbers, and atypical arrangement and configuration. In the ANA profile examination, the native SS-A antigen (60 kDa) +++ results were strongly positive. The examination results concluded CLE type Subacute CLE (SCLE). The patient was given Calcium Carbonate capsules, Folic Acid tablets, and Methylprednisolone tablets. Topical medications include tretinoin 0.25% cream, momethasone 0.1% cream, Desoximethasone 0.25% cream, clobetasol propional 0.05% cream, and must use Sunscreen morning and evening. After 2 weeks, the patient showed good results. The black spots are starting to fade. Other complaints, such as fever, fatigue, and pain when swallowing, have decreased. Cutaneous lupus can be a challenge to treat because the symptoms are varied and complex. Management of CLE aims to eliminate symptoms and signs of the disease, prevent damage from occurring, minimize side effects of drugs, and improve quality of life.

Abstract

Congenital glaucoma has the potential to damage the visual nerve fibers, leading to permanent blindness. This case report aims to provide timely and appropriate management upon diagnosis. The case involves a 5-month-old baby girl delivered via spontaneous normal delivery at 36-37 weeks, with a birth weight of 3100 grams, who presented with complaints of left eye enlargement since one month of age, persistent watery eyes, and photophobia when exposed to sunlight. Diagnoses included Primary Congenital Glaucoma, Congenital Cataract, and Exotropia Oculi Sinistra. The patient received preoperative medication, underwent trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy surgery, and had CRS screening and Rubella serological examination. Early detection and operative intervention to regulate intraocular pressure can preserve optimal visual function throughout adulthood.

Abstract

Cushing's syndrome can lead to various skin complications. Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome is a condition caused by excessive exogenous glucocorticoid exposure. This case report presents a patient with a history of Cushing's syndrome and long-term corticosteroid use who developed multiple skin manifestations. A 20-year-old male presented with erythematous purulent lesions on the face, neck, chest, and back. Concurrently, the patient developed purplish-red striae on the chest, abdomen, arms, and legs. Physical examination revealed erythematous nodules and pustules, along with atrophic striae. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis with a left shift and hypokalemia. Radiological investigations revealed lumbar spondylosis and cardiomegaly. The patient was treated with a combination therapy, including topical and systemic medications, and showed significant improvement in skin lesions. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive evaluation for patients presenting with unusual skin lesions. A thorough history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations are crucial to identify underlying conditions and initiate appropriate treatment.

Abstract

A juvenile cataract is a condition in which the eye's lens gets cloudy, affecting children and teenagers and considerably impairing vision. It accounts for approximately 5% to 20% of childhood blindness worldwide. A 16-year-old male patient came with his parents to the Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Department of RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin with complaints of blurred vision in both eyes. The patient admitted that his visual acuity was deteriorating, and he had difficulty seeing the blackboard when the teacher explained it at school. There were no factors that aggravated or relieved the patient's complaints. The ophthalmologic examination showed the visual acuity of both eyes was 6/30, and the bilateral lenses were opaque. The patient was diagnosed with juvenile cataract oculi dextra et sinistra. Subsequently, the patient was planned for aspiration irrigation with intraocular lens (IOL) insertion in both eyes, membranectomy, primary posterior capsulectomy (PPC), and anterior vitrectomy (AV). Following the surgery, the visual acuity of both his eyes was improved to 6/7 and 6/10. The patient was also prescribed oral and topical antibiotics and topical anti-inflammatories to prevent infection and persistent inflammation after surgery. After surgery, the patient was also planned for optical rehabilitation one month postoperatively by being prescribed glasses with the best correction of 6/6 in both eyes.

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline, affecting millions of people worldwide. Early detection is critical for slowing the disease's progression and improving patient outcomes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used to identify brain changes associated with AD, but subtle abnormalities in the early stages are often difficult to detect using traditional methods. In this study, we used a deep learning approach with a model called ResNet-50 to analyze MRI scans and classify patients into four categories: Non-Demented, Very Mild Demented, Mild Demented, and Moderate Demented. The model was trained using MRI images, achieving an accuracy of 95.63%, with strong sensitivity, precision, and specificity. To make the model’s predictions understandable for healthcare professionals, we applied a technique called Grad-CAM, which highlights areas of the brain that influenced the model’s decisions. These visual explanations help clinicians see and trust the reasoning behind the AI's results. While the model performed well overall, misclassifications between adjacent disease stages were observed, likely due to class imbalance and subtle brain changes. This study demonstrates that explainable AI tools can improve early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, supporting clinicians in making accurate and timely diagnoses. Future work will focus on expanding the dataset and combining MRI with other clinical information to enhance the tool's reliability in real-world settings.
