Abstract

Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture (TDR) is a serious but relatively uncommon injury, often resulting from blunt trauma, particularly motor vehicle accidents. Among these, blunt TDR presents with more severe outcomes than penetrating injuries, including higher mortality rates. A life-threatening complication of TDR is gastrothorax, which occurs when the stomach herniates into the thoracic cavity, leading to elevated intrathoracic pressure and potentially fatal consequences such as respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. This case reported a 23-year-old male who sustained a motor vehicle collision, presenting with progressive shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting 15 hours post-injury. Imaging confirmed a diaphragmatic rupture with associated tension gastrothorax. Immediate intervention with nasogastric tube placement provided symptom relief, followed by exploratory laparotomy to repair the diaphragmatic defect. The patient's recovery was uneventful, demonstrating the critical importance of early diagnosis and timely surgical management in cases of TDR with gastrothorax. Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture occurs in approximately 0.8–1.6% of trauma cases, with motor vehicle accidents being the leading cause. Due to its potential for delayed diagnosis, the rupture is often missed initially, leading to higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Early detection is critical, as it can prevent serious complications such as bowel herniation into the thoracic cavity, respiratory distress, or even death.

Abstract

Introduction Obstruction by kidney stones is one of the causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Out of all CKD cases, 10.3% are associated with obstruction due to kidney stones. Treatment of kidney stones can restore kidney function, but requires holistic and intense collaboration between urologists to treat the stones, nephrologist to monitor kidney function, and nutritionists to provide proper diet to prevent kidney stone reccurence Case Presentation A 69-year old male presented to the emergency departement with flank pain since 1 week ago. The patient complained of frequent flank pain since the last year. BOF radiological examination found staghorn stones in the right kidney, and ultrasonography revealed severe hydronephrosis of the right kidney. An impaired kidney function and decreased eGFR related to CKD were also found. The urologist performed bivalve nephrolithotomy on the right kidney. Afterwards, a histopathological examination was done to determine the stone material for further collaborative management with internist and nutritionist. After consultation with nutritionists regarding nutritional needs, monitoring from internist was done to monitor comorbidities and progression of CKD. Kidney function was evaluated after collaborative management and we found improvement on kidney function. Discussion In patients with CKD caused by obstruction due to kidney stones, it is necessary to treat the kidney stones first to relieve obstruction and restore kidney function. In this case the role of the internist is to control and recover kidney function after urologists have relieved the patient from urinary obstruction. Kidney stones that have been successfully removed are subjected to histopathological examination to determine its composition. After the composition were identified, consultation with a nutritionist is carried out to determine the right diet for the patient. With the right diet, prevention of stone reoccurrence is expected. Conclusion A history of kidney stones is associated with an increased risk of CKD. Multidisciplinary collaboration between urologists, nephrologist, and nutritionists helps lower the risk of stone recurrence and minimize the need for additional operative procedures through a focus on dietary and medical approaches and improved kidney function.

Abstract

Depressive disorder is a disorder which frequently found in adolescence. Although some interventions had already known, many adolescence had difficulty to access care when needed, and adherence to therapy. We aimed to introduce using technology-based interventions for depression in adolescence. We searched PubMed, Springer, Sage, and Science Direct for articles in English using the search terms “adolescent depression” and “depression”, combined with additional search terms, “technology-based” “online” “computer-based” “computerized” “prevention” “treatment” “CBT” “videoconference”. We focused on papers from past 5 years, but also included papers published in the past 10 years (if sparse). We found 25 articles were suitable for this topic. This review resulted some novel development intervention such as Self-Monitoring and mood assessment, Computerized Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and videoconference therapy that had benefit could increase the coverage of the patient, adhered more to the therapy, more convenient to access from wherever they live, and cost the least for the patient than conventional therapy that showed the same effectiveness. Technological development in medical care, specifically in mental health, was a possible solution to increase the coverage of intervention for depression in adolescence. Further research is needed on the effectiveness of this technology-based intervention in larger population.

Abstract

Treatment that combines local wisdom and modern knowledge is increasingly developing. This treatment is known as alternative medicine, which differs from conventional medicine because it is intended for therapy or diagnosis and has a close relationship with cultural practices such as community spirituality. This review aims to comprehensively understand alternative medicine, including its background, reasons for its use and debates about its effectiveness and safety. In addition, this review aims to improve readers' understanding of alternative medicine so that they can make better decisions in choosing the right treatment. This review compares two types of alternative medicine, diagnostic and therapeutic medicine. Diagnostic alternative medicine focuses on identifying imbalances in the body that are believed to cause disease. In contrast, therapeutic alternative medicine is based on traditional beliefs, is empirical, or has been used for centuries. The debate about the credibility of these two alternative medicine methods is ongoing, and strong scientific evidence is needed to support their effectiveness and safety. In addition, it is important to discuss the regulation and standardization of practice for practitioners of these alternative medicines. This review emphasizes the importance of consulting a specialist before starting any alternative treatment to ensure its safety and suitability for the patient's health condition. This review helps to increase readers' understanding of alternative medicine, so they can make better decisions in choosing the right treatment.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood sugar levels due to impaired insulin action or production. It is a global health concern, contributing to various complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases. While antidiabetic medications have improved treatment options, challenges such as adverse effects, resistance, and high costs have fueled the interest in exploring natural alternatives, including Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric. This review aims to evaluate the potential of Curcuma longa as an antidiabetic agent by synthesizing data from existing literature. A systematic search of databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted, focusing on studies from 2000 to 2024 that examined the pharmacological effects, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications of Curcuma longa in diabetes. The review highlights that curcumin, the active compound in Curcuma longa, significantly reduces blood glucose levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin acts through multiple mechanisms, including the modulation of glucose transporters, activation of AMPK, reduction of oxidative stress, and inhibition of inflammatory cytokines. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate that curcumin can improve glycemic control, reduce insulin resistance, and prevent diabetes-related complications. Despite promising results, further clinical trials are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential. This review underscores the potential of Curcuma longa as a natural adjunct or alternative to conventional antidiabetic therapies.

Abstract

Vitamin C is a substance needed by the human body to maintain metabolic function. Scurvy is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. This disease is often forgotten in the era of modern medicine. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plays a role in the formation of type IV collagen. Type IV collagen is an essential component of the walls of blood vessels, skin, and the basement membrane zone that separates the epidermis from the dermis. Three things must be met to diagnose scabies, namely a history of insufficient vitamin C intake, the presence of clinical manifestations typical of scabies, and biochemical indices, namely low levels of vitamin C in the blood (serum, white blood cells, and whole blood) and low urinary excretion levels. In patients with scabies who already have clinical manifestations, immediate vitamin C replacement is needed. A case of a male patient with suspected scabies with various clinical manifestations has been reported who improved with direct vitamin C replacement therapy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve the prognosis in patients with scabies.

Abstract

Sex linkage is defined as the pattern of allele expression and inheritance associated with an individual's sex chromosomes. Sex-linked genes are genes located on the sex chromosomes. Genes associated with the X chromosome are referred to as X-linked genes or X chromosome genes. Color blindness is a condition in which a person is unable to distinguish certain wavelengths of light that can be differentiated by normal vision. The ratio of the index finger length (2D) compared to the ring finger length (4D) is an inherited trait influenced by sex-influenced gene expression. Patterns of baldness in humans, or androgenetic alopecia (AGA), are age-related conditions characterized by hair thinning, miniaturization, and hair loss. The objective of the research titled “Color Blindness and the Role of Sex-Influenced Genes” is to determine whether a person is color blind and to identify the genotype of each individual in a group based on the size of their index finger. The methods used include an online Ishihara test for color blindness, conducted by each subject using a prepared website. For the sex-influenced gene experiment, participants made patterns of their index, ring, and middle fingers on both hands on HVS paper, and the finger lengths were observed. The results showed that all participants were not color blind (normal), and some participants had longer index fingers, longer ring fingers, or equal lengths of the index and ring fingers.

Abstract

A leg prosthesis is a tool that can help people with disabilities due to amputation or birth defects. Prosthetic leg products created through the 3D printing process on the knee joint have been reported to have cracked after two months of use. The purpose of this study was to observe the causes of failure of knee joints in prosthetic legs printed using the 3D printing method. The numerical method based on the finite element method, ANSYS Workbench 2023, was chosen to complete the structural simulation. The model parameters observed in the simulation were the printing orientation, model position, and equivalent plastic strain of PETG, ABS, and PLA. Several print-direction positions were considered in this simulation, namely 0°, 45°, and 90°. Static simulation of the structure was performed because only the static forces acted on the knee joint. Static forces were obtained by applying the principle of static equilibrium to rigid objects. The results of the numerical simulation showed that damage to the knee joint made of PTEG was caused by the plane of 90°. The orientation position causes the force received in the perpendicular direction of the knee joint component; thus, it tends to break the printing layers. The ideal printing orientation for the knee joint is 0° orientation. This orientation is considered suitable because it has the highest safety factor compared to other orientations.
