Abstract

Advanced bone loss in patients with periodontitis often leads to increased tooth mobility, sometimes resulting in tooth loss. The mobility of teeth necessitates splinting to optimize periodontal treatment outcomes in terms of aesthetics and periodontal health. This case report presents a novel approach using an artificial tooth pontic as a periodontal splint, utilizing wire stabilization to prevent severe tooth mobility and enhance esthetics. A 37-year-old male with aggressive periodontitis (Stage III, Grade C) exhibited extensive periodontal destruction, particularly in the upper and lower anterior regions. Pathological migration was evident following the loss of teeth 31 and 41, with additional anterior teeth in the lower jaw showing mobility and trauma from occlusion, notably tooth 33. The patient underwent nonsurgical periodontal therapy, including scaling, subgingival debridement, occlusal adjustment, and splinting. Stabilization was achieved by applying a wire splint from teeth 34 to 43, incorporating an artificial tooth pontic. Subsequent evaluations revealed improvements in clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth, tooth mobility, and bleeding on probing during supportive periodontal therapy visits. The splint remained stable, and the patient expressed satisfaction with their appearance remaining unaffected. This case demonstrates that severe tooth mobility can be effectively stabilized using a composite wire splint and an artificial tooth pontic, enhancing the patient's esthetic outcomes.

Abstract

This study tackles the pressing challenge of lung cancer detection, the foremost cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, hindered by late detection and diagnostic limitations. Aiming to improve early detection rates and diagnostic reliability, we propose an approach integrating Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques, specifically focusing on the Residual Network (ResNet) architecture and Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM). Utilizing a dataset of 1,000 CT scans, categorized into normal, non-cancerous, and three types of lung cancer images, we adapted the ResNet50 model through transfer learning and fine-tuning for enhanced specificity in lung cancer subtype detection. Our methodology demonstrated the modified ResNet50 model's effectiveness, significantly outperforming the original architecture in accuracy (91.11%), precision (91.66%), sensitivity (91.11%), specificity (96.63%), and F1-score (91.10%). The inclusion of Grad-CAM provided insightful visual explanations for the model's predictions, fostering transparency and trust in computer-assisted diagnostics. The study highlights the potential of combining DCNN with XAI to advance lung cancer detection, suggesting future research should expand dataset diversity and explore multimodal data integration for broader applicability and improved diagnostic capabilities.

Abstract

Congenital cataract is a clouding of the eye lens in children, which contributes to blindness in 5% to 20% of children throughout the world. Cataracts can occur unilaterally or bilaterally and can vary in size, morphology, and degree of opacification. This report aims to comprehensively diagnose and treat unilateral cataracts and provide optical rehabilitation. A 3-month-old baby boy was brought by his family with complaints of a white spot on the right eye, which the family had known about since the patient was one month old. The patient was diagnosed with a congenital cataract and underwent surgery, which included aspiration irrigation, primary posterior capsulotomy, and anterior vitrectomy under general anesthesia. The use of glasses is chosen as optical rehabilitation. Collaborative management is also done with pediatric specialists, ENT, and pediatric cardiology. It was concluded that congenital cataract management aims to prevent amblyopia by clearing it as soon as possible (Clear Visual Axis) and optical rehabilitation (Clear Retinal Image) to improve the vision prognosis.

Abstract

Livedoid Vasculitis (LV) is a thrombo-occlusive vasculopathy involving dermal vessels, especially in the lower extremities. Clinical symptoms of LV are chronic, recurrent, scarring, and painful purpuric ulcers. Diagnosing and providing therapy for LV is a challenge because there are no standard guidelines. We present clinical insights and diagnostic approaches on two cases of LV to improve early diagnosis and prevent misdiagnosis, which were confirmed based on history, dermatological examination, and skin biopsy. In the first case, it was a woman, 23 years old, who came with complaints of a blackish-red rash appearing on both legs. There were scars on several parts of the patient's legs, which felt painful, and the legs looked swollen. On histopathological examination, fibrin deposition in the vessel walls, endothelial proliferation, and intraluminal hyaline thrombin were found. In the second case, it was a man, 19 years old, who came with complaints of pain when walking accompanied by wounds on both lower legs. On histopathological examination, fibrin deposition in the vessel walls, endothelial proliferation, and intraluminal hyaline thrombin were found. The conclusion from the histopathology results was LV. After receiving therapy, both cases showed improvement: swelling in the legs was reduced, red and black rashes began to disappear, ulcers improved, pain decreased, and scars became blurred. These two cases provide examples of success in diagnosing LV. Being able to diagnose LV early and correctly is very important so that adequate therapy can be given and good outcomes can be achieved.

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

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health issue impacting over 800 million people, characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function leading to severe complications. Traditional diagnostic methods, relying on laboratory tests and clinical assessments, have limitations in sensitivity and are prone to human error, particularly in the early stages of CKD. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) offer promising tools for disease diagnosis, but a lack of interpretability often hinders their adoption in clinical practice. Gaussian Processes (GP) provide a flexible ML model capable of delivering predictions and uncertainty estimates, essential for high-stakes medical applications. However, the integration of GP with interpretable methods remains underexplored. We developed an interpretable CKD classification model to address this knowledge gap by combining GP with Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP). We assessed the model's performance using three GP kernels (Radial Basis Function, Matern, and Rational Quadratic). The results show that the Rational Quadratic kernel outperforms the other kernels, achieving an accuracy of 98.75%, precision of 100%, sensitivity of 97.87%, specificity of 100%, and an F1-score of 98.51%. SHAP values indicate that haemoglobin and specific gravity are the most influential features. The results demonstrate that the Rational Quadratic kernel enhances predictive accuracy and provides robust uncertainty estimates and interpretable explanations. This combination of accuracy and interpretability supports clinicians in making informed decisions and improving patient management and outcomes in CKD. Our study connects advanced ML techniques with practical medical applications, leading to more effective and reliable ML-driven healthcare solutions.

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.
