Abstract

Hyperimmunoglobulin-M Syndrome (HIGM) is a set of symptomps  due to primary immunodeficiency characterized by low levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin E (IgE), and normal or increased levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM) or recurrent infections. HIGM syndrome was initially thought to be caused by genetic defects related to the X chromosome only, but along with advances in molecular technology in detecting genetic abnormalities, other autosomal-type defects were found. Genetic defects in HIGM Syndrome cause disruption of the maturation process of humoral immunity, especially diversity through CSR, and increased affinity through SHM. Clinical manifestation of HIGM patients varies greatly and depends on the defect in the CD40L or CD40 signal pathway. Current therapy given for HIGM patients aim to resolve those clinical manifestation and fix the production of high-affinity antibody. Life expectancy of patients without a bone marrow transplant is estimated to be less than 30 years.

Abstract

Patients with diabetes mellitus have a 2-3 times higher risk of experiencing depression compared to the general population, which can potentially exacerbate their overall health condition. This literature review aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to identify its associated risk factors. This literature review was conducted by searching electronic databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and ProQuest. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The results revealed that the prevalence of depression among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients varied from 23.20% to 83.80%, with a majority of cases classified as mild to moderate. To identify risk factors contributing to the high prevalence of depression in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, additional studies were explored. Based on this literature review, it can be concluded that the prevalence of depression among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients is quite high. Several consistently identified risk factors include advanced age, female gender, low education level, unstable or unemployed work status, low income, marital status, and longer duration of diabetes. Early detection and appropriate management of depression in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus are essential for enhancing quality of life and optimizing treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Asthenopia, or what is usually called tired eyes, is the occurrence of tension in the ciliary muscles in the eyes caused by intensive visual activity. The symptoms of asthenopia that are felt are subjective visual discomfort, which causes decreased concentration, academic performance, and work ability. This study aims to determine the correlation between the degree of asthenopia in corrected and uncorrected refractive errors in FKIK Ukrida students in the class of 2020. This study used a total sampling technique with a cross-sectional method with 159 respondents. Data collection was carried out in December. In this study, the number of respondents who had corrected refractive errors consisted of 30 (21.3%) people who did not experience asthenopia, 56 (39.7%) experienced mild asthenopia, 15 (10.6%) people experienced moderate asthenopia, and 1 (0.7%) experienced severe asthenopia. Respondents who had uncorrected refractive errors consisted of 10 (7.1%) people who did not have asthenopia, 13 (9.2%) had mild asthenopia, 14 (9.9%) people, and 2 people did not have severe asthenopia. The degree of asthenopia and the corrected refractive error are correlated, according to the Spearman test findings, with a p-value of 0.032. Symptoms of asthenopia can cause a decrease in visual quality and work ability. The results of this research found that FKIK students experienced more corrected refractive errors. Symptoms of asthenopia are many. Asthenopia is often found in corrected refractive errors. So, education is needed to prevent asthenopia in FKIK students.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic policies, outdoor activity restrictions, and distance learning have significantly impacted the occurrence of myopia in children. These changes are associated with increased screen time, decreased outdoor activities, and insufficient sleep duration, indicating potential long-term effects on myopia prevalence and development. This literature review utilizes articles from research journal databases searched through the internet. The internet databases used include Google Scholar and PubMed, using keywords: "Children," "Epidemiology," "Risk Factor," and "Myopia." Inclusion criteria for this literature are English articles, published within the last 10 years, and research publication types. Exclusion criteria include duplications and articles with only abstracts or without full text. The combined findings of these studies consistently demonstrate that school-age myopia is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with screen time, near work, and urban residence being significant risk factors. The protective role of outdoor activities against myopia is evident in various geographic regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this issue, emphasizing the need for interventions focused on reducing screen time and increasing outdoor activities to manage and prevent myopia progression.

Abstract

Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of death in the world. The main cause of liver cancer is the Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus which causes patient to experience chronic liver disease which can worsen and develop into liver cancer. Sorafenib targeted therapy can be used to treat patients with advanced liver cancer. This drug can suppress tumor cell proliferation and inhibit tumor angiogenesis. This study aims to determine the benefits of targeted therapy in treating Hepatocellular Carcinoma. The method used in this study is by searching for articles in electronic databases via the internet using Google Scholar and Pubmed. The results showed that the combination of sorafenib targeted therapy with conventional therapy, such as TACE and radiofrequency ablation, could significantly increase survival rates and time to progression. In conclusion, sorafenib targeted therapy when combined with conventional therapy has higher benefits and effectiveness compared to other therapies. The disadvantage of sorafenib targeted therapy is that it can cause many side effects for the patients.

Abstract

Acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a worsening of stable COPD/respiratory symptoms. The 2020 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) shows erdostein, carbocysteine, and n-acetylcysteine can reduce the risk of acute exacerbations in COPD. The aim of this writing is to determine and compare the effectiveness and safety of erdostein, carbocysteine, and n-acetylcysteine in acute exacerbations of COPD. The scientific review takes the form of a literature review by searching for data using books, journals and websites. Sixteen articles were obtained with the results that erdosteine, carbocysteine, and n-acetylcysteine reduced the risk of acute exacerbations of COPD. The best effectiveness results depend on the dose of the drug and the length of use. The best reduction in the risk of exacerbation was oral erdostein, dose 900 mg daily for 10 days (39.1%), Carbocysteine 1500 mg daily for 6-12 months (p < 0.00001) and n-acetylcysteine 1,200 mg/day for 3 months (p<0.05). Erdostein was well tolerated and there were no treatment-related side effects. The frequency of side effects of respiratory tract infections was not detected for erdostein, but for carbocysteine it was found to be 0.56% and NAC 10.85%. Two patients dropped out of the study because of gastrointestinal disturbances related to carbocysteine side effects. The conclusion of this scientific review is that the use of erdostein 900 mg/day for 10 days has the best effectiveness in reducing COPD exacerbations, then carbocysteine 1500 mg/day for 6-12 months, then n-acetylcysteine 1200 mg/day for 3 months.
