Abstract

Background: Partial thickness wounds refer to the damage that extends from the epidermis to the upper layers of dermis. This study aims to compare the histological regrowth of acute partial thickness wounds following application of lyophilized amniotic membrane, tulle grass dressing and topical gentamicin. This study aims to establish a standard approach for treating partial thickness wound. Methods: Three groups of Mus Musculus mice were used in our experimental study. Similar to harvesting split thickness skin grafts, partial thickness wounds are performed. The wound was then treated with lyophilized amniotic membrane, tulle grass dressing and topical gentamicin. Using the Scoring System for Histological Assessment of Wound Healing, the wound is histopathologically examined at day 14. In this study, One way Anova was used for statistical analysis. Results: Application of lyophilized amniotic membrane showed different histological characteristic of healing from other method, with p=0.001 it showed significance epidermal growth compared to topical gentamicin. Whereas dermal thickness were also better, accompanied by lower dermal collagen density. Amniotic membrane has a large source of stem cells and contains several growth factors which is important in the physiological process of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Conclusions: Characteristic of skin healing using lyophilized amniotic membrane showed rapid epidermal growth and gave impression of less fibrosis tissue, so that would be potential for better wound treatment especially for prevention of scar.

Abstract

particularly those facing chronic or terminal illnesses. Understanding the factors influencing death anxiety and the effectiveness of interventions is crucial for improving patient care and outcomes. This review aims to explore the psychological, social, and environmental factors contributing to death anxiety and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to mitigate this anxiety. Additionally, it seeks to identify research gaps and provide recommendations for future studies. Methods: A literature search was conducted, resulting in the inclusion of ten studies focusing on different populations, including COVID-19 patients, elderly individuals in nursing homes, and terminally ill cancer patients. The studies employed various methodologies such as correlational studies, path analysis, conceptual analysis, retrospective analysis, comparative studies, and randomized controlled trials. Data were synthesized to identify common themes, methodological quality was assessed, and findings were compared and contrasted. Results: Psychological interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), well-being therapy (WBT), and spiritual care programs, were found to be effective in reducing death anxiety. The design of healthcare environments also significantly impacted death anxiety, with well-designed palliative care settings providing substantial benefits. Holistic approaches addressing psychological well-being, meaning in life, self-care, and social capital were essential in managing death anxiety, especially among the elderly. However, several research gaps were identified, including the need for long-term studies, comparative effectiveness research, culturally sensitive interventions, and the potential of technology-based interventions. Conclusion: The review highlights the importance of integrated, holistic, and culturally sensitive approaches to managing death anxiety. By addressing the identified research gaps and implementing the recommended strategies, healthcare systems can enhance the quality of care for patients facing death anxiety, leading to improved patient outcomes and more compassionate end-of-life care.

Abstract

Background: Neuronavigation is a navigation system that assists neurosurgeons in performing surgery using real-time three-dimensional images from CT, MRI, or C-arm, providing benefits such as shortened operation duration, increased accuracy, and reduced radiation exposure for both patients and operators. In Indonesia, the use of neuronavigation in spine surgery is still rare, and no literature explains the experience of using this technology. Case Report: We reported the first experience of using neuronavigation at Arifin Achmad General Hospital, Riau Province, in a case of thoracic canal stenosis. A 53-year-old male patient, a palm oil farmer, presented with weakness in both lower limbs, urinary and fecal incontinence, and increased physiological reflexes. MRI examination revealed spinal cord stenosis at thoracic discs VII-X. The patient underwent decompressive laminectomy and posterior stabilization assisted by neuronavigation. The use of neuronavigation allowed precise and efficient placement of surgical instruments, dynamically displayed on the monitor screen, reducing radiation exposure and increasing the accuracy of pedicle screw placement. Conclusion: The use of navigation technology in spinal surgery will be an innovation that increases efficacy and patient safety. Its adoption is expected to become more common as more literature explains its benefits, especially in spinal surgery.
