Abstract

Highlights: • Managing human resources for surge capacity in three referral hospital at West Kalimantan was evaluated. • Availability, mobilization and recruitment, duties division, and hospital staff welfare are the reasons for referral hospitals in West Kalimantan are not optimal to face surge capacity during the Covid-19 pandemic. • Provincial Health Office role had not been optimal in the HR management at referral hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Abstract: One of the components of effective disaster response management to deal with surge capacity in referral hospitals in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, was to ensure the adequacy of the number of human resources (health workers). This study was conducted to evaluate three referral hospitals and identify the role of the West Kalimantan Provincial Health Office in managing human resources for health workers facing surge capacity due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used Rapid Assessment Procedures with qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through observation and interview by using instruments adopted from the Checklist of WHO Hospital Readiness for Covid-19. Based on the checklist, 51.1% of referral hospitals had implemented HR management regarding staff availability. However, the readiness of referral hospitals in West Kalimantan to face surge capacity had not been optimal in several key components, such as staff availability, staff mobilization and recruitment, division of staff duties, and hospital staff welfare during the Covid-19 pandemic. The role of the Provincial Health Office had not been optimal in managing HR at referral hospitals. The Provincial Health Office only played an active role at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially for the provision of volunteers. Meanwhile, in the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the role of the Provincial Health Office had decreased, especially in the staff availability and training at the referral hospitals. Therefore, the role of the West Kalimantan Provincial Health Office in HR management at the referral hospitals was highly not dominant (17.78%). The central government should regulate the authority of the Provincial Health Office as the leading sector in all types of referral hospitals to integrate all potencies and human resources of local governments to maximize HR management in referral hospitals to face surge capacity due to the increased cases of Covid-19.

Abstract

Highlights: • The combination of NLCR and PLR will improve the ability to distinguish infection rather than noninfection in the emergency setting for early antibiotic prescribing as well as the sepsis-3 strategy. • The diagnostic value of PLR in adult bacterial sepsis patients has never been studied. Abstract: According to Sepsis-3, antibiotics should be administered in the first hour of diagnosis of sepsis. Still, there is difficulty in differentiating between bacterial and nonbacterial infections and a lack of a rapid diagnostic tool to distinguish them. This study evaluated the diagnostic value of NLCR and PLR in suspected bacterial sepsis. The diagnostic value of PLR in adult bacterial sepsis patients has never been studied. This study was a retrospective study from the medical record of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. All patients at age ≥ 18 years diagnosed with sepsis based on ICD-10 code and qSOFA ≥ 2 were included. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, positive LR, and AUC of NLCR and PLR. There were 177 patients included in this study. The sensitivity of NLCR was 69.5%, specificity was 34.7%, NPV was 56.9%, PPV was 47.9%, and LR+ was 1.06, while the sensitivity of PLR was 62.2%, specificity was 38.9%, NPV was 54.4%, PPV was 46.8%, and LR+ was 1.02. We obtained cut-off values for NLCR 11.06, AUC 0.500, PLR 222.41, and AUC 0.497. The low value of AUC NLCR and PLR was due to prior antibiotic use. The combination of NLCR and PLR had higher positive LR (1.16) and specificity (54.7%), and also, according to NLCR, we had the highest sensitivity (69.5%). The combination of NLCR and PLR enhances the sepsis-3 strategy because it can be used as screening tools for bacterial sepsis, and antibiotics can also be administered in the first hour of managing sepsis, particularly in the emergency ward.

Abstract

Highlights: • Sodium hydroxide causing platelet rich fibrin stimulates limbal stem cell proliferation in chemical trauma. • Limbal stem cell niche and influences limbal stemness was repaired by Platelet Rich Fibrin. Abstract: Chemical injuries of the eye produce extensive damage to the ocular surface and limbal stem cells, resulting in permanent unilateral or bilateral visual impairment. Alkali injuries occur more frequently than acid injuries. Platelets are a rich source of potential wound healing, promoting polypeptide growth factors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) lysates on limbal stem cell proliferation, which was exposed to sodium hydroxide that resembled limbal stem cell deficiency due to chemical trauma. Confluent rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) limbal stem cells wounded using 20µL of 0.00625 M sodium hydroxide (pH 13) were treated with platelet-rich fibrin lysates (PRF) (0, 5, and 10%). PRF lysates were prepared from peripheral rabbit blood according to Choukroun's method without using anticoagulant and foreign factors for platelet activation. The proliferation of limbal stem cells was measured by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2.50 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay at 24, 48, and 72 hours after exposure to sodium hydroxide. Proliferation significantly increased limbal stem cells with PRF lysates 5% (p<0.01) and 10% (p<0.01) group compared with the control (PRF 0%). There was no significant difference between PRF lysates of 5% and 10% (p>0.01). The highest proliferation of limbal stem cells was found in the PRF lysates 5% group after 48 hours (100.24%). PRF stimulated limbal stem cell proliferation in chemical trauma caused by the sodium hydroxide model. PRF repaired the limbal stem cell niche and influenced the limbal stemness. The present findings warrant further research on PRF as a novel alternative treatment for limbal stem cell deficiency.

Abstract

Highlights: • Customers expectations at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital has a higher quality of service. • The handling of complaints has a low performance on the quality of services at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. • Improving service quality requires improvements in efficient complaint handling. Abstract: Service quality is essential in health institutions that can affect patient satisfaction and loyalty. The growth in the number of patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, triggered the diversification of services that require periodic quality control. This study aimed to investigate the performance of 31 departments/units in the hospital, the level of customer satisfaction with services provided, and factors that could influence satisfaction. A survey about service performance, perception, and expectation of services was carried out in 31 departments/units using questionnaires from August to October 2021. Convenient respondents consisted of 2121 patients and their families aged >15. Questionnaire items assessed performance, perceptions, and expectations of health services using the SERVQUAL method. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to perform an analysis of the results of the measurement and the difference in responses between demographic groups of respondents (p<0.05 was significant). The mean performance score was 92.86, and the gap between their perception and expectation averaged -0.23. Customers' expectations of the provider's competence were met, and its performance was perceived to be the best. Meanwhile, handling complaints was perceived as having the lowest performance, while customers' satisfaction over it had not been met. The results showed that the hospital could still not fully meet some of the customer expectations, with immediate improvements needed in handling complaints.

Abstract

Highlights: • Patients with IRSS I stage have the longest lag time than IVB stage. • Lag time is no significant with stage retinoblastoma. Abstract: Retinoblastoma is a rare neoplasm disease that occurs in children, generally under the age of two. Retinoblastoma is more prevalent in developing countries and is often associated with a late diagnosis. Such delays can lead to a poor prognosis. The time from the appearance of symptoms of retinoblastoma (onset) to the time of diagnosis is called lag time. Early diagnosis of retinoblastoma by paying attention to factors such as age, clinical symptoms, and laterality can help improve retinoblastoma survival rates, especially in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the lag time to the stage of retinoblastoma patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. This study was a retrospective analytical observational study using secondary data from retinoblastoma patients at the Ophthalmology Outpatient Unit at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from January 2014 to December 2018. The data were analyzed using Kendall's tau-C test. No significant correlation was found between lag time and stage (p = 0.339). Patients with International Retinoblastoma Staging System (IRSS) I stage had the longest lag time (on average 28 months), and patients with stage IVB had the shortest lag time (on average four months). There was no correlation between lag time and retinoblastoma stage. However, there was a trend of patients with early stages delaying hospital visits, while patients with advanced stages in earlier to the hospital.

Abstract

Highlights: • There is no correlation between the increase of SGOT and sepsis. • Correlation between the increase of SGPT and sepsis was significant founded. Abstract: Burns trigger hypermetabolic stress reactions that cause inflammatory responses. When there is a sustained or increased hypermetabolic reaction, the inflammatory response can be life-threatening, such as sepsis, and significantly impact hepatic metabolic function. After burns, varying degrees of liver injury are usually associated with burn severity. This study determined the correlation between elevated serum transaminases (SGOT/ SGPT) and sepsis in burn patients at a tertiary hospital of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020. This was a descriptive-analytic study with a retrospective cohort design. The data in this study included the demography of burn patients, causes of burns, inhalation trauma, burn severity, increased serum transaminase (SGOT/SGPT), mortality, and sepsis. This study found that the correlation between elevated serum transaminases (SGOT/SGPT) and sepsis was determined using the Spearman-Rho Rank statistical test. Burn patients with sepsis in the hospital were dominated by males (65.2%) and mostly aged 26-55 years (69.6%). The flame was found to be the highest cause of burns (80.4%), burn area above 20% (91.3%), the highest level of severity was major burn (91.3%), and no inhalation trauma (54.3%). In this study, there was an increase in SGOT of 69.6% and SGPT of 78.3%, with a mortality rate of 39.1%, with average inpatient days of 24 days. The correlation test between elevated serum transaminase (SGOT) and sepsis showed an insignificant relationship (p = 0.065, p> 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.200. In contrast, the correlation between elevated serum transaminase (SGPT) and sepsis was significant (p=0.006, p<0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.296.

Abstract

Highlights: • Sodium diclofenac is one of NSAID a common treatment to relieve pain associated with bone fractures. • Sodium diclofenac with a some dose of body weight could decrease the callus quality on fracture healing. Abstract: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac sodium, are standard treatments to relieve pain associated with bone fractures. The bone healing process consists of four stages: inflammation, soft callus formation, complex callus formation, and bone remodeling. Previous studies mentioned that intake of NSAIDs (sodium diclofenac) could inhibit the bone healing process. This study examined the effect of diclofenac sodium intake on callus formation in fracture healing. In this study, thirty-six rats (Rattus Norvegicus) with fractures were used and divided into two groups, namely 18 rats for the control and 18 rats for the treatment group. In the treatment group, each rat was given 1.8 mg sodium diclofenac/150 grams of body weight per day. In the control group, each rat was given CMC-Na 0.5% with equal volume as diclofenac sodium in the treatment group. After 28 days, all the rats were stunned until dead, and the diameter and strength of their calluses were measured. In the treatment group with diclofenac sodium1.8 mg/ 150 grams BW/ 28 days after the tibia bone callus was pressed using the Shimadzu tool, the lowest callus strength was found to be 56.500 N, and the highest callus strength was 59.000 N. The lowest callus diameter in the treatment group was 4 mm, the highest was 5 mm. In the control group, the lowest callus strength was 76 N, and the highest callus strength was 77 N. The lowest callus diameter in the control group was 6 mm, and the highest was 8 mm. The strongest callus in the treatment group was found in the sixth observation, with a value of 59 N and a diameter of 4 mm. In the control group, the highest callus strength was 77 N, with a diameter of 7-8 mm. These measurements were found on the 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 16th, and 17th observations. Diclofenac sodium with a dose of 1.8 mg/150 grams of body weight could decrease the callus quality parameters, such as callus strength and diameter on fracture healing.

Abstract

Highlights: • Hemangioma of the hand is a challenging case due to the need to maximize eradication of the mass while minimizing damage to the healthy tissue to preserve the physiologic function of the hand. • The reconstruction of the defect also needs to be taken into account to maintain the cosmetical appearance. • Collaborative multidisciplinary work is essential to achieve these demands and maintain the patient's quality of life. Abstract: Hemangiomas are known for their typical involution with age. However, around 40% of cases require intervention. Hemangioma in hand is challenging because the hand function and the aesthetic appearance need to be preserved. Hereby we reported a 21-year-old woman with a recurrent hemangioma on the left hand in Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital, Samarinda, Indonesia. The patient's previous surgery was ineffective since the mass reappeared in the same area. We performed surgical excision and reconstruction with an abdominal flap. One-month and one-year postoperative follow-up indicated good flap viability and preserved hand functions without the need for amputation. This report also emphasizes the importance of collaboration from multiple surgical and medical fields to allow favorable outcomes in this case.

Abstract

Highlights: • Oxidative markers 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine and Nitric Oxide was found high in hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis chronic kidney disease patients. • There is no correlation between 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine and Nitric Oxide in hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis chronic kidney disease patients. Abstract: Oxidative stress is essential to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several markers include 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and Nitric Oxide (NO). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) increased in CKD and had a role in renal impairment progressivity. There are some controversies regarding oxidative markers in CKD patients in several studies. This study aimed to understand oxidative markers 8-OHdG and NO and explained the correlation of both markers in hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis CKD patients. Twenty hemodialysis patients and forty-nine non-hemodialysis patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Urine patients were collected to measure 8-OHdG using the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) method, and NO was measured from serum patients using the Griss Saltzman method. Based on Bivariate Pearson analysis, there was no significant correlation between 8-OHdG urine and total NO serum in the hemodialysis group (p= 0,510, p>0.05) and in the non-hemodialysis group (p= 0.801, p>0,05). In this study, DNA oxidative marker, 8-OHdG, was not correlated with NO in CKD patients.
