Abstract

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a critical neurosurgical condition often linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This case report presents a 56-year-old male with CKD stage V and SDH as a complication during HD therapy. The patient experienced a sudden decrease in consciousness following routine dialysis. Diagnostic evaluations revealed chronic subdural hematoma with midline shift, accompanied by chronic nephritis and anemia. Management included burr hole surgery, heparin-free dialysis, and supportive medical therapy. The patient showed significant recovery, highlighting the importance of timely intervention and a multidisciplinary approach to manage SDH in CKD patients undergoing HD. Case report: A 56-year-old male CKD stage V patient on routine HD presented with acute headache and decreased consciousness post-dialysis. CT imaging confirmed chronic SDH with a midline shift. Treatment involved burr hole drainage and heparin-free dialysis. The patient recovered well after four days of hospitalization and resumed dialysis without further complications. Discussion: The pathophysiology of SDH in HD patients involves changes in intracranial pressure and impaired hemostasis due to CKD and dialysis-related factors. The use of anticoagulants further exacerbates bleeding risks. This case underlines the need for careful monitoring, individualized HD protocols, and timely surgical intervention for SDH in CKD patients. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the critical risk of SDH in HD patients, advocating for preventive strategies, including modified dialysis protocols and multidisciplinary care, to mitigate complications and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Hemophilia A is a hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by Factor VIII deficiency, with varying severity levels. This report presents a 27-year-old male patient with moderate Hemophilia A who experienced spontaneous penile bleeding and a history of multiarthropathy. The patient reported recurrent bleeding episodes since childhood and received Factor VIII therapy, resulting in significant symptom relief. This case highlights the importance of individualized management in chronic hemophilia, focusing on preventive measures to mitigate future bleeding episodes and comorbidities, thereby improving quality of life and life expectancy. Case report : A 27-year-old male patient presented with spontaneous penile bleeding triggered by minor trauma and associated with moderate Factor VIII deficiency (1%). Past medical history included recurrent joint and gastrointestinal bleeding episodes. The patient responded positively to Factor VIII therapy and packed red cell transfusions, with symptom resolution after 10 days of hospitalization. Family pedigree analysis and coagulation studies confirmed the diagnosis of moderate Hemophilia A. Discussion : Hemophilia A patients face lifelong bleeding risks, with multiarthropathy as a common complication. Factor VIII levels closely correlate with disease severity and bleeding manifestations. Preventive therapy, including Factor VIII administration, is crucial for minimizing complications. Additionally, managing viral infection risks is essential due to associated sexual behavior in certain demographics. Regular screening and patient education play pivotal roles in comprehensive care. Conclusion : This case underscores the significance of proactive management in moderate Hemophilia A, emphasizing tailored therapy and preventive strategies. Ensuring adequate access to clotting factor concentrates and addressing comorbidities can significantly enhance the quality of life and prognosis for chronic hemophilia patients.

Abstract

Intradialytic Hypertension (IDH) is a complication that can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis, with a prevalence of 5% to 15%. Intradialytic hypertension can be caused by various factors, including fluid overload, sympathetic overactivity, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), endothelial dysfunction, elevated sodium levels, medications such as erythropoietin, and vascular stiffness. Case report : A 27-year-old male patient (KNW) with CKD and intradialytic hypertension was evaluated to determine the underlying cause of his condition. Discussion : A detailed analysis was conducted to assess potential contributing factors, including an underlying disease or other risk factors such as a hereditary predisposition from the patient’s father, as well as anxiety, stress, and depression, along with lifestyle factors such as heavy smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise awareness. The patient was subsequently provided with both non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies. Educational counseling was offered regarding dietary and fluid intake, exercise, adherence to hemodialysis (HD) sessions, and the importance of medication compliance. Conclusion : Following this intervention, improvements were noted, including the resolution of headaches and stabilization of blood pressure. The likely contributing factors for this patient's intradialytic hypertension were psychological issues, poor medication adherence, and a lack of social support. The management strategy successfully achieved target blood pressure levels, thereby preventing further complications related to intradialytic hypertension.

Abstract

Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is an inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland, primarily characterized by pain and commonly attributed to viral infections. However, its occurrence in individuals with HIV is exceedingly rare, with only a limited number of documented cases exploring the association between SAT and HIV. This report presents a case of SAT in a patient diagnosed with HIV. Case Report: A 32-year-old male presented with anterior neck pain and swelling, subsequently diagnosed with SAT in the context of HIV infection. Discussion: The patient reported symptoms of anterior neck pain and swelling. Thyroid ultrasonography demonstrated a hypoechoic appearance with right thyroid gland enlargement, while fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) revealed histomorphological findings consistent with SAT. Several factors may contribute to SAT, including immunosuppression associated with HIV/AIDS. HIV-induced immune dysfunction increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections, which may act as potential triggers for SAT. Conclusion: HIV infection plays a role in the pathogenesis of thyroiditis both directly and indirectly, through immune system impairment and predisposition to secondary infections.

Abstract

Effect in Pain Scale of Trocar Insertion, Onset, and Duration of Anesthesia of Subtenon Anesthesia without Premedication Compared with Premedication in Pars Plana Vitrectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Background: Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has traditionally been performed under general anesthesia. However, in recent years, regional anaesthetic techniques such as subtenon block have gained popularity due to their safety and effectiveness, reducing the risk of severe complications associated with needle-based blocks. Patients and Methods: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted between November 2023 to March 2024 at a tertiary teaching hospital in Indonesia. A total of 30 patients undergoing vitrectomy were randomized assigned to one of two groups: with premedication or without premedication. The primary outcomes evaluated were the pain scale during trocar insertion, the onset of anesthesia, and the duration of anesthesia. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test and ANCOVA. Results: No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding the pain scale during trocar insertion, the onset of anesthesia, or the duration of anesthesia (p<0.001). However, after adjusting for diagnosis and type of the therapy, the group without premedication demonstrated a significantly longer duration of anesthesia. Conclusion: Subtenon anesthesia without premedication represents a viable alternative for pars plana vitrectomy. It offers practical benefits, such as eliminating the need for fasting and intravenous line placement, while maintaining patient and operator comfort.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of multisystemic complications, particularly in patients with poor glycemic control since a young age. Chronic hyperglycemia induces vascular, neurological, and renal damage, predisposing patients to severe functional impairments and infections. Case Report: We present a 21-year-old male with long-standing uncontrolled diabetes mellitus who developed compressive myelopathy, diabetic kidney disease (DKD), diabetic neuropathy, and neurogenic bladder. The patient exhibited progressive lower limb weakness, urinary and fecal incontinence, chronic back pain, severe hyperglycemia, electrolyte imbalances, and a significant decline in renal function. Discussion: This case illustrates the complex interplay between diabetic microvascular and neurological complications. Chronic hyperglycemia led to glomerular hyperfiltration and progressive renal injury, while peripheral and autonomic neuropathy resulted in debilitating sensory-motor symptoms and recurrent urinary tract infections. The overlapping pathologies highlight the necessity for early screening, aggressive metabolic control, and a multidisciplinary approach to management. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and prompt multidisciplinary intervention are critical to prevent irreversible multisystem damage in patients with longstanding diabetes. Comprehensive management strategies focusing on infection control, renal protection, neuropathic pain relief, and glycemic stabilization are essential to optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a common and disabling illness that is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, characterized by chronic, pervasive anxiety and worry accompanied by nonspecific physical and psychological symptoms including restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. While anxiety can be an appropriate response to stressful situations, it is considered pathological when disabling and difficult to control. This case study, which aimed to explore generalized anxiety disorder and its management in patients, utilized diagnostic criteria from Pedoman Penggolongan dan Diagnosis Gangguan Jiwa-III and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5, finding that the patient's manifestations aligned with established diagnostic criteria. Generalized anxiety disorder often goes undiagnosed and untreated due to accompanying physical complaints, requiring not only pharmacological interventions but also non-pharmacological approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to effectively control the patient's thought patterns.

Abstract

The digitization of registration services is part of the modernization of healthcare services to speed up administrative processes and improve patient comfort. Hospital X developed the PANGESTU application as an online reservation system for outpatients. Assessing the effectiveness of the PANGESTU application strategy in optimizing the online reservation process and identifying supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews with registration officers, security guards, and patients, as well as documentation over a period of six months. The application speeds up the registration process and makes it easier for patients who are familiar with technology. However, obstacles were encountered, such as digital literacy gaps, the illegibility of reservation data, and the lack of formal training for officers. The success rate of an application is highly dependent on the readiness of human resources and the adaptability of the system to user variations. Data integration and digital education are key factors for optimization. The PANGESTU application has successfully created service efficiency, but it is not yet fully inclusive. Technical optimization, improved digital literacy, and active involvement of human resources are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the system.
