Abstract

Highlights: • Association Rule Mining tools predict the association of early-onset Myocardial Infarction with Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus. • Association Rule Mining tools using clinical and biochemical attributes can predict the development of Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus in Myocardial Infarction patients. Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of mortality in diabetic patients. Hypertensive patients are more likely to develop diabetes and hypertension contributes to the high prevalence of CVDs, in addition to dyslipidemia and smoking. This study was to find the different patterns and overall rules among CVD patients, including rules broken down by age, sex, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, smoking habits, myocardial infarction (MI) type on ECG, diabetes, and hypertension. The cross-sectional study was performed on 240 subjects (135 patients of ST-elevation MI below 45 years and 105 age matched controls). Association rule mining was used to detect new patterns for early-onset myocardial infarction. A hotspot algorithm was used to extract frequent patterns and various promising rules within real medical data. The experiment was carried out using "Weka'', a tool for extracting rules to find out the association between different stored real parameters. In this study, we found out various rules of hypertension like "Rule 6” says that if levels of BP Systolic > 131 mmHg, LpA2 > 43.2 ng/ml, hsCRP > 3.71 mg/L, initial creatinine > 0.5 mg/dl, and initial Hb ≤15 g/dl (antecedent), then the patient will have 88% chance of developing hypertension (consequent). Similarly for diabetes mellitus with finding their lift and confidence for different support like "Rule 6”, if MI type on ECG = 'Inferior Wall MI' with STATIN=No, and levels of Triglycerides ≤325 (antecedent), then the patient had a 67% chance of developing diabetes mellitus. We concluded that early-onset myocardial infarction is significantly associated with hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Using association rule mining, we can predict the development of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in MI patients.

Abstract

Highlights: • Vesicovaginal fistula is the most common urogenital fistula. • The transvaginal approach is preferred in treating urogenital fistula. Abstract: A fistula is an extra-anatomical channel between two or more hollow organs, or between an organ and the body surface. WHO estimated there were two million patients with untreated urogenital fistula, with 130,000 new cases every year. The ideal approach for urogenital fistula depends on surgeon preference and individual clinical characteristics. Accordingly, we aimed to determine the profile of patients with a urogenital fistula at a tertiary hospital of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia, from 2015 to 2021. A retrospective study with a descriptive design was carried out by medical records data retrieval of patients with urogenital fistula. It included age, etiology, anatomical location, surgical management, and recurrence rate. The study population consisted of 55 patients. The majority of the patients were among the 41-50 y.o. age groups (41.17%), while the least were in the <20 years group (1.96%). History of obstructed labor was the most common etiology (70.59%). Fistulas in the study population were also associated with a history of trauma (15.68%) and malignancy (11.76%). The vesicovaginal fistula was the most common type of fistula (88.23%). Other types found include urethrovaginal, ureterovaginal, rectovesical, rectovaginal, and vesicocolon fistulas. The transvaginal approach was preferred in almost all study populations. A total of two cases of vesicovaginal fistula recurred (3.39%). In general, patients with urogenital fistula are prevalent in the 4th decade age group, with the most common etiology being a history of obstructed labor. Transvaginal surgery is the treatment of choice with good results and low recurrence rates.

Abstract

Highlight: • The management of penetrating ocular injury with IOFB and traumatic cataracts needs a thorough examination of the mechanism of injury, location, size, and composition of IOFB. • Endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, and development of PVR are potentially vision-threatment. Abstract: Most IOFB are metallic and found in males of productive age as a consequence of work-related accidents. A 45-year-old man complained of sudden blurred vision in the left eye (3/60 pinhole 5/12) after getting hit by a foreign body when cutting grass with a lawn mower. Anterior segment examination revealed a 10 mm long, one-plane, straight, full thickness, already sutured inferonasal corneal laceration, inferonasal traumatic iridectomy size 3x7 mm, and opaque lens. Head CT-scan revealed opacity with metallic density intraocularly. Ultrasonography revealed an echogenic lesion, particle-shaped with 100% RCS complex density, located at the inferonasal of the vitreous cavity. Focal laser photocoagulation was performed preoperatively because there was a tear at the superonasal of the retina. The patient underwent cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation, vitrectomy, and IOFB extraction in a one-step procedure. IOFB was found at the inferonasal side of a vitreous cavity with size 3 x 1 mm, metallic, and not attached to the retina. Silicon oil tamponade was used as a precaution because there were retinal tears. Postoperatively, the left eye's visualacuity was 5/20. After 6 months, the silicon oil was evacuated and the visual acuity became 5/8.5.

Abstract

Highlights : • Risk factors that can increase the incidence of CLM in humans include male sex, children aged <15 years, low-income people, and daily behaviour of walking outdoors without using footwear, especially on the sand. • Risk factors that play the most role in increasing the incidence of CLM in humans are walking outdoors without using footwear, especially on the sand. Abstract : Cats arethe host of a wide variety of microorganisms including ectoparasites and endoparasites.One of theendoparasites that infect cats is hookworm. The hookworms consists of two groups, the animal hookworms, and the human hookworms. The manifestation that can be caused by animal hookworms to humans is Cutaneous Larva Migrant (CLM). This study aimed to discover whether hookworm in stray cats (Felis silvestris catus) can cause CLM in humans. We performed a systematic search in Pubmed/Medline and Cochrane published between 2016 and 2021 with no restrictions by language, research country, or type of research design . The results of the analysis showed that the high level of hookworms infection in stray cats could increase the risk of CLM in humans. Based on the study, we could conclude that the high prevalence of hookworm infection in cats plays an important role in the increased risk of zoonoses in humans which in turn could also increase the prevalence of CLM in humans.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. Females were the most gender who suffer from dry eye syndrome than males. 2. Undergone phacoemulsification patients had frequent dry eye syndrome. 3. Post-phacoemulsification patients were not statistically significant between the Ferning and the Schirmer test. Abstract: Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease on the surface of the eyeball characterized by loss of tear film homeostasis, which is associated with eye symptoms, where there is tear instability and hyperosmolarity, inflammation, and damage to the surface of the eye, as well as neurosensory disorders that act as the cause of this syndrome. The aim of this study was to identify relationship between the Ferning pattern and the Schirmer test 1 in post-phacoemulsification patients. The design of this study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional data collection method where the Ferning and Schirmer test 1 were examined to determine the severity of dry eye syndrome in post-phacoemulsification patients. The Ferning test was assessed according to Rolando's classification. In this study, it was found that the gender who suffer from dry eye syndrome are women. The most considerable age is age ≥ 60 years (56,7%). The results showed that the majority of patients experienced dry eyes measured with the Ferning test, and these results were following the previous Schirmer Test 1 examination. The Ferning and Schirmer tests were found to be abnormal in most of the subjects. It was found that there was a significant relationship between the Ferning pattern and the Schirmer test with the calculation of the t-value of 7.345 with a p-value of 0.001. There was a statistically significant difference between the results of Ferning and the Schirmer test in post-phacoemulsification patients.

Abstract

Highlights: • The effectiveness of vaccination through the kinetics of the antibody response to the SARS-COV-2 vaccine administration by examining IgG S-RBD levels was aimed. • Two doses of the Sinovac vaccine formed antibodies in healthy individuals in the first 3rd month after vaccination. • An S-RBD IgG antibody in the 6th-month post-vaccination was significantly different between groups without a history and groups with a history of infection with COVID-19. Abstract: Since it was declared a pandemic in early 2020, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has caused high morbidity and mortality in the world. In view of the urgency of the situation, vaccination efforts are needed to break the chain of disease transmission. Various types of vaccines have been successfully developed and obtained approval for emergency use. However, the effectiveness of these vaccines, both in the short and long term, has not been fully known. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of vaccination through the kinetics of the antibody response to the administration of the SARS-COV-2 vaccine by examining IgG S-RBD levels. This study was an observational analytic study with a prospective cohort approach carried out between January and November 2021 at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Fifty health workers who received Sinovac vaccination in as many as 2 doses underwent venous blood taking and measurement of quantitative S-RBD antibody level. Then, quantitative S-RBD IgG antibody levels were measured and recorded in each subject. The mean S-RBD IgG antibody was found to have fluctuation. The titer was found to significantly increase on day 14 and dropped significantly in month 3 (p <0.001). There was a significant difference in S-RBD IgG levels 6 months after vaccination between Covid-19 uninfected groups and Covid-19 infected groups (p <0.001). In a conclusion, two doses of the Sinovac vaccine formed antibodies, although humoral immunity obtained tended to decrease in 3rd month after vaccination to healthy individuals. The average level of S-RBD IgG antibody in the sixth month post-vaccination was found to be significantly different between groups without history and groups with a history of with infection COVID-19.

Abstract

Highlight: 1. Garlic and Vitamin C effect on Candida Albicans. 2. Vitamin C has the ability to inhibit C. albicans in PBS media but it did not have significant MIC due to the presence of glucose in the media if combined with garlic petroleum extract. Abstract: Garlic can downregulate ECE1, a gene that regulates the production of candidalysin as a virulence factor for C. albicans. Allicin in garlic has antifungal properties because allicin can penetrate cell membranes and damage cell organelles such as vacuoles and mitochondria, causing irreversible structural and functional damage that leads to cell death. Garlic that is processed into extracts also has antifungal abilities. Purely squeezed garlic extract had a MIC of 50%, while the ethanol extract of garlic had a MIC of 40%. This difference is thought to be due to differences in the use of concentrations used and the use of extract solvents. Vitamin C can inhibit C. albicans in PBS media, there is an active metabolism and oxygen, low free iron concentration, there is mitochondrial inhibition ongoing, and in the early stationary growth phase. However, the combination of garlic petroleum ether extract and vitamin C did not show significant MIC due to the presence of glucose in the media, which could increase the growth of C.albicans.

Abstract

Highlights: • Unusual CA in a 5-year-old boy with paranasal sinuses malformation in the ORL-HNS. • Transnasal endoscopy posterior septectomy was successfully done. Abstract: Choanal atresia is a developmental failure of the nasal cavity to connect with the nasopharynx. The cause is either unilateral or bilateral nasal obstruction. Bilateral choanal atresia is a very rare condition and diagnosed soon after birth because neonates are obligate nasal breathers. Delayed diagnosis can cause death due to respiratory distress. The objective of this study was to report bilateral choanal atresia in 5-year-old boy who survived by breathing through his mouth using a simple tool made by his parent. It was a very rare condition because the posterior nasal cavity was covered by medial wall malformations of both maxillary sinuses which fused with the posterior nasal septum. The surgery method for this patient was posterior septectomy with transnasal endoscopic to create a neochoanae. The post-operative patient could breathe normally through his nose. Six weeks later, the nasal endoscopic evaluation indicated the patient's patent neochoana.

Abstract

Highlights: • Characteristics of vascular dementia patients with a history of stroke was aimed. • The most characteristics of vascular dementia patients with stroke history are men, post-ischemic stroke, hypertension grade 1, and lesions in the basal ganglia. Abstract: Stroke patients increase each year. Stroke is a cerebrovascular disorder caused by disruption of cerebral blood flow, which could reason vascular lesions within the mind parenchyma to be a threat to significant disorders. One of them is vascular dementia. Each affected person is prone to growing dementia after a stroke in three to five instances. Thisstudy aimed to decide the traits of patients with vascular dementia with a record of stroke. This study used a descriptive retrospective approach with a cross-sectional method. The samples were obtained from the total sampling technique. The sample of the study was vascular dementia patients with a stroke record at the National Brain Center Hospital Prof. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono Jakarta in the period of 2020 through the inclusion standards with 191 samples.
