Abstract

Meningiomas are tumours that grow inside the head cavity or intra-cranial tumours, The incidence of intra-cranial tumours in patients of all ages is approximately 4.2 - 5.4 /100,000. The brain uses 20% of the body's total oxygen. The brain uses most of its oxygen consumption (60%) to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which supports the electrical activity of neurons. In cranitomy tumour removal, it is expected that good oxygen supply and oxygen consumption by the brain are reduced by reducing electrical activity in the brain with the aim of relaxing the brain, Selection of 4 intravenous anaesthetic agents in craniotomy tumour removal in this patient in the form of Tiopental, Fentanyl, Rocuronium and Dexmedetomidine because the use of these agents is the best in reducing cerebral metabolic rate (CMR) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) so as to reduce intracranial pressure (ICP) which appears in this case stable hemodynamics and adequate depth of anaesthesia during surgery.

Abstract

The increasing habit of consuming high-fat foods and a sedentary lifestyle increases the incidence of hepatic steatosis. There are currently no approved medical drugs to prevent and treat steatosis. The leaves and stems of the ciplukan plant (Physalis Angulata (L.)) are rich in flavonoid compounds and phenolic acids which have preventive and curative effects on steatosis. This research aimed to determine the impact of ciplukan leaves and stems extract on the severity of steatosis in the liver of Wistar rats induced by egg yolk and propylthiouracil. This research consisted of four groups: first group induced by egg yolk and propylthiouracil for six weeks (n=7), second group induced egg yolk and propylthiouracil plus simvastatin 0.18 mg/200 gBW for six weeks (n=7), third group induced by egg yolk and propylthiouracil plus ciplukan extract 400 mg/kgBW for six weeks (n=7), fourth group induced by egg yolk and propylthiouracil plus ciplukan extract 800 mg/kgBW for six weeks (n=7). The severity of steatosis was determined based on histopathological observations by an anatomical pathology specialist. The first group had four preparations with moderate degree of steatosis. The second group had three preparations with moderate degree of steatosis. The third group had two preparations with moderate degree of steatosis. The fourth group had two preparations with moderate degree of steatosis. The statistical test results showed no significant difference in severity between the treatment groups (p=0.692). The administration of ciplukan leaves and stems extract can prevent a decrease in high-density lipoprotein levels in Wistar rats induced by egg yolk and propylthiouracil. However, no significant influence was found on the severity of hepatic steatosis.

Abstract

Ovarian fibrothecomas, sex cord-stromal tumors consisting of theca-like elements and fibrous tissue, are solid tumors of the ovary, accounting for 1–4.7% of all ovarian tumors. If the tumors cannot be differentiated between fibroma and thecoma, they are categorized as fibrothecoma. These solid tumors are common, but their malignant type is extraordinarily rare. Here we present a residual malignant ovarian fibrothecoma in a 67-year-old woman. This patient complained of abdominal mass, she previously had laparotomy four times and two series of chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin within 19 years. Despite these, she currently has a residual disease measuring 13.5 x 11.6 x10.8 cm. In this case report, we will discuss the management of malignant fibrothecoma based on the available literature

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus which is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, is a significant global health problem. Controlling the Aedes aegypti vector is key in efforts to reduce the spread of this disease. However, the use of chemical larvicides in vector control has raised concerns regarding environmental impacts and mosquito resistance. Therefore, research related to the development of natural larvicides based on pomegranate peel extract contain flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, steroids, and saponins, in microemulsion form has an urgency to provide a safer and more sustainable alternative. Objective: To determine the larvicidal activity of microemulsion ethanol extract of pomegranate peel (Punica granatum) against Aedes Aegypti larvae. Methods: This research uses an experimental study design, post-test only controlled group design. The samples used were Aedes aegypti larvae instar III-IV. There were 12 treatment groups consisting of positive control, negative control, and treatment groups with microemulsion ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction of pomegranate peel extract, each with five different concentrations. Results: The probit analysis results indicate that the LC50 (Lethal Concentration for 50% mortality) for the ethanol extract microemulsion of pomegranate peel is 51,607 ppm, while the LC50 for the ethyl acetate fraction microemulsion of pomegranate peel is 52,401 ppm against Aedes aegypti larvae. Conclusion: the probit analysis shows that the ethanol extract microemulsion of pomegranate peel is slightly more effective in killing Aedes aegypti larvae compared to the ethyl acetate fraction microemulsion. These results emphasize the potential of pomegranate peel extracts as natural larvicides, contributing to sustainable and environmentally friendly mosquito control measures.

Abstract

Chronic disease often causes depression in the elderly, especially for women. Elderly need family support to deal with the depression. This study was aimed to analyze whether there was a correlation between family support, gender, and depression levels in the elderly. Utilizing the DASS-21, the family support assessment, and questions about characteristic of respondent, data was obtained which were then analyzed using the Spearman method, with confidence level was 95%. The Spearman’s analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of -0.026, and a Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.817 between depression and family support. Likewise, the correlation coefficient was 0.070, and Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.537 between depression and gender. It can be concluded that there was a weak correlation between the three variables, but it was not statistically significant. Further study is needed to analyze the influence of confounding factors as a predictor model of depression levels in the elderly.

Abstract

Gentamycin is an antibiotic that has the effect of acute kidney failure. Increased levels of BUN and Creatinine can characterize acute kidney failure. Lime juice (Citrus aurantifolia) contains flavonoid compounds as antioxidants that can regenerate kidney function. This study aims to determine the difference in BUN and Creatinine levels before and after being given lime juice. This study uses an experimental study design with a pretest-postest design. In the model mice, gentamicin was induced at a dose of 60 mg/KgBB for 10 days, and then BUN and creatinine levels were checked. This study was divided into 5 groups, including the negative, healthy, and treatment groups 1, 2, and 3, with a dose of lime juice 0.5 ml/KgBB, 1.0 ml/KgBB, and 1.5 ml/KgBB. The results showed that the average change in BUN levels before and after between groups was significant (sig < 0.05), and the average change in creatinine levels before and after between groups was significant (sig < 0.05). This study concluded that the average decrease in BUN levels in treatment group 3 was significant by 7.9 mg/dl, and the average decrease in creatinine levels in treatment groups 2 and 3 was significant by 0.8 mg/dl.

Abstract

Introduction: Malaria and dengue are endemic in Indonesia, and therefore, may result in the possibility of co-infection. Urban demographic expansion, deforestation, and agricultural settlements in peri-urban areas are known causes of the increase in the probability of concurrent infection of these two diseases. It is reasonable to envisage that the occurrence of concurrent infections would not be rare, mainly during outbreaks of dengue in the rainy season. However, due to non-systematic investigation of both diseases, only a few cases of malaria and dengue co-infection have been reported. These three patients demonstrated co-infection manifestations with good outcomes and prognoses. Case Illustrations: Two cases of co-infection of malaria vivax and dengue fever in male patients aged 35 and 43 years. The difference between these two cases is that one patient had experienced a previous episode of malaria with a fever lasting less than 5 days. Meanwhile, one patient who had never suffered from malaria experienced a relatively longer fever episode, up to 14 days. Thrombocytopenia in these two patients was still above 50,000/µL and rose quickly after anti-malarial administration. The third case was a 47-year-old woman with co-infection of malaria falciparum and dengue. This woman lived in Papua and had been infected with malaria before. This third case showed platelet numbers reaching levels as low as 38,000/µL and hypotension without signs of shock in the critical phase of dengue. The three patients did not show complications from other organs due to malaria or dengue and responded well to antimalarials with good outcomes. These patients were treated with a combination of DHP and primaquine, along with supportive care for fever and fluid management. Conclusion: Whenever co-infection is confirmed, we recommend careful monitoring for bleeding and hepatic complications, which may result in a higher chance of severity. Careful and intense monitoring of fluid requirements is necessary to avoid complications of fluid overload.
