Abstract

Non-selective NSAIDs are widely used for their anti-inflammatory effects. However, their use is limited by significant gastrointestinal side effects. Little is known about which NSAIDs cause more damage to the gastrointestinal. This study aims to compare the mucosal damage induced by various non-selective NSAIDs. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into six groups and administered different NSAIDs: mefenamic acid, diclofenac sodium, piroxicam, ibuprofen, aspirin, and a control group with distilled water. After five days of treatment, the rats were sacrificed, and their gastric tissues were examined both macroscopically and microscopically for signs of damage, including hemorrhagic injury, mucosal edema, epithelial cell loss, and inflammatory cell infiltration. All NSAID-treated groups exhibited significant gastric damage compared to the control group. Diclofenac sodium and piroxicam groups showed the most pronounced hemorrhagic injury, while piroxicam induced the most severe mucosal edema. Ibuprofen caused the highest level of inflammatory cell infiltration. Aspirin resulted in the least gastric histopathological damage score among the tested drugs. Among the tested NSAIDs, aspirin exhibited the least histopathological damage, suggesting a lower risk of gastric injury in this model

Abstract

Penurunan kognitif dipengaruhi oleh tingkat asetilkolin di otak. Rendahnya tingkat asetilkolin dalam sistem saraf pusat mengurangi motivasi belajar dan memori. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menyelidiki efek kombinasi diazepam dan minyak esensial biji pala terhadap peningkatan penurunan kognitif pada mencit jantan menggunakan metode Morris Water Maze. Penelitian ini melibatkan 15 mencit (Mus musculus) jantan yang dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok: kelompok kontrol negatif, kelompok uji diazepam tunggal, dan kelompok uji kombinasi diazepam-minyak esensial biji pala. Data dikumpulkan mengenai waktu yang dibutuhkan mencit untuk menyelesaikan masalah setelah menerima informasi selama 5 hari tanpa intervensi (pre-test) dan 10 hari dengan intervensi (post-test) serta dianalisis secara statistik. Uji Kruskal-Wallis menunjukkan nilai p=0,018 (p ≤0,05), yang mengindikasikan adanya perbedaan signifikan dalam waktu antar kelompok. Hasil uji post hoc menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan waktu yang signifikan antara kelompok kontrol negatif dan kelompok kombinasi diazepam-minyak esensial biji pala. Artinya fungsi kognitif pada kelompok kombinasi diazepam-minyak esensial biji pala tidak berbeda dengan kelompok yang tidak menerima intervensi apa pun. Kesimpulan, pemberian diazepam tunggal memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap penurunan fungsi kognitif mencit dan penambahan minyak esensial biji pala (Myristica fragrans) mengurangi dampak negatif terhadap penurunan fungsi kognitif akibat diazepam secara signifikan pada mencit.

Abstract

Stroke iskemik merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kecacatan neurologis yang memerlukan intervensi farmakologis yang tepat. Sitikolin dan pirasetam merupakan agen neuroprotektif yang umum digunakan dalam praktik klinis, namun perbandingan efektivitas keduanya masih menjadi perdebatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan efektivitas kedua obat tersebut terhadap perbaikan fungsi neurologis pasien stroke iskemik, yang dinilai berdasarkan perubahan skor Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif non-eksperimental dengan pendekatan potong lintang dan data retrospektif. Sebanyak 57 pasien memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok yang menerima sitikolin (n=29) dan kelompok yang menerima pirasetam (n=28). Kedua terapi diberikan secara terpisah dengan dosis sitikolin 500–1.000 mg/hari dan pirasetam 4,8–9,6 g/hari selama 7–14 hari perawatan. Analisis statistik menunjukkan peningkatan skor GCS yang signifikan setelah terapi, baik pada kelompok sitikolin (rerata skor 10,5 menjadi 12,8; p<0,001) maupun pada kelompok pirasetam (rerata skor 10,7 menjadi 12,6; p=0,027). Namun, uji Mann–Whitney tidak menunjukkan perbedaan efektivitas yang bermakna antara kedua kelompok (p=0,821). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa sitikolin dan pirasetam sama-sama efektif dalam meningkatkan fungsi neurologis pada pasien stroke iskemik, dan keduanya dapat digunakan secara setara berdasarkan pertimbangan klinis dan ketersediaan obat.

Abstract

This case report aims to present the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, surgical management, and outcome of a rare case of gastric duplication in an infant. Gastrointestinal duplication (GD) is a rare congenital anomaly accounting for 4–8% of all duplication cases, predominantly occurring in children. An 8-month-old female presented with a progressively enlarging abdominal mass, vomiting, and distension. Initial ultrasound months earlier showed a mass near the umbilicus, but the family pursued alternative treatments. Examination revealed a well-defined, rubbery cystic mass (8 × 5 cm). Sonography showed a septated cystic lesion, and a barium study demonstrated a filling defect. The patient underwent exploratory surgery with mucosectomy and gastric repair. Postoperatively, she received intravenous fluids, antibiotics, analgesics, and proton pump inhibitors. Despite transient vomiting and distension, by day seven, she gained weight and was discharged. Histopathology confirmed a benign gastric duplication cyst. At 11-day follow-up, she was thriving and feeding well. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention in GD to prevent complications and highlights favorable outcomes with timely management.

Abstract

Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities are commonly observed in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and patients and are linked to worse outcomes. This case report documents the rapid normalization of severe ECG abnormalities following general anesthesia induction in a high-risk SAH patient with hyperthyroid heart disease. We report an 81-year-old woman with Fisher grade IV SAH and hyperthyroidism-associated cardiomyopathy who presented obtunded (GCS 7) with refractory atrial fibrillation at 116 bpm, diffuse T-wave inversions, and elevated troponin I. Following a multidisciplinary discussion, an External Ventricular Drain (EVD) was placed under general anesthesia using fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium. This resulted in the immediate restoration of sinus rhythm, resolution of repolarization changes, and stabilization of blood pressure. Despite comprehensive ICU management—including analgesia, sedation, osmotherapy, steroids, and diuretics—the patient’s condition deteriorated within 24 hours, developing refractory intracranial hypertension and leading to death. This case highlights the autonomic-modulating and antiarrhythmic properties of anaesthetic agents in SAH-related neurocardiogenic dysfunction and underscores the need for further research into optimal anaesthesia strategies and patient outcomes.

Abstract

Body composition refers to the arrangement of fat, water, bone, muscle, skin, and other lean tissues that constitute the body. A shift in composition of the body, increased fat storage and reduced muscle mass lead to metabolic imbalance and elevate the likelihood of type 2 diabetes.Although the previous studies have shown the alterations in body composition related to their age, the correlation of body composition to random blood glucose of young adults has not yet been explored clearly. Therefore, our goal is to establish the relationship between body fat, muscle mass, and random blood glucose levels in young adults. In this cross-sectional study, 296 medical students aged 19-24 years old were included and examined for their body composition with Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and measured random blood glucose with a glucometer. Using Spearman's correlation (p<0.05), we found significant positive correlations for body fat (r=0.133, p=0.022) and fat-to-muscle ratio (r=0.131, p=0.024), whereas muscle mass exhibited an inverse relationship (r=-0.130, p=0.026). Based on gender, the correlation for body composition and random blood glucose were significant in males but not for females. Higher body fat and lower muscle mass are associated with elevated random blood glucose levels in young adults, particularly in males.
