Abstract

Objective: To determine the association between Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) pattern in pediatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients and proteinuria as a sign of renal involvement in SLE.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, using data from medical records involving 89 newly diagnosed with SLE (aged ≤ 18 years) in Department of Child Health Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from January 1st 2018 to June 30th 2019. Data of ANA pattern and proteinuria were collected from medical record. ANA pattern was examined by Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) method. Chi-square was used to analyze the association between ANA pattern and proteinuria as a sign of renal involvement in pediatric SLE patients.Results: There were 89 patients, consisting of 7 male (7.9%) and 82 female (92.%) with median age of 14 (IQR=12-16).  There were only 44 pattern of ANA as follow: homogenous 56.8%, speckled 36.4%, and nucleolar 6.8%. However, there is no significant association between homogenous pattern with proteinuria events (p=0.831).Conclusions: Homogenous pattern was the most frequent ANA pattern in children with SLE, and the pattern has no association with proteinuria events.

Abstract

Objective: Antibiotic resistance requires substantial responses through two mechanisms: new antibiotic development and smart antibiotic use. Antibiotic Stewardship Program (ASP) is one of the responses that reduce the overall antibiotics use and prevent the overuse of antibiotics to avoid antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in defined daily dose (DDD) and the cost of therapy (COT) for empirical ceftriaxone therapy in sepsis patients pre- and post-ASP model implementation in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung.Methods: A pre- and post-intervention quasi-experimental study on ASP model implementation in empirical ceftriaxone therapy provided to sepsis patients treated in the intensive or semi-intensive care units was performed from December 2015 to July 2016 using the Mann Whitney test and t-test. The DDD was calculated as DDD/100 patient-days, while the COT was calculated as the COT/patient-day. The ASP model intervention implemented in these units applied 2 main strategies: ceftriaxone use restriction and ceftriaxone therapy duration audit.Results: Participants of this study consisted of 112 sepsis subjects (n=112) with 55 subjects in the pre-ASP group and 57 subjects in the post-ASP group. The mean DDD/100 patient-days in the post-ASP subject was lower than that of the pre-ASP (16.3±4.3 and 45.8±16.8; p=0.018). The median COT/patient-days in post-ASP subject was IDR 42,000 (IDR 14.000–42.000), which was lower than that of the pre-ASP group of IDR 84.000 (IDR 28.000–420.000, p=0.001).Conclusion: The differences in the DDD/100 patient-day and COT/patient-day values between the pre-ASP and post-ASP are significant. The ASP model applied in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung leads to a smart use of ceftriaxone and reduces costs for the empiric ceftriaxone therapy in sepsis patients.

Abstract

Objective: Adherence to medication is crucial for hypertension patients in order to control and prevent complications. This study aimed to describe the adherence to antihypertensive drugs among patients with hypertension in Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study on patients with hypertension in the work area of Cileunyi Public Health Center (PHC), Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria used were patients with hypertension who were prescribed an antihypertensive drug by a physician, above 18 years old, and had been using an antihypertensive medication for at least two months before the study. Data were obtained through interviews during the month of July to August 2018 using a modified MMAS-8 questionnaire of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), which includes Likert-type scale questions. Data collected were then analyzed using the Rasch Model, and the mean logit person was used as a cut off between adherence and non-adherence categories.Results: A total of 75 patients with hypertension were recruited. The prevalence of adherence to medication was 59%. Most patients who adhered to the medication were > 55 years old (31%),  female (59%), had been diagnosed with hypertension for < 5 years (31%), and received support from family/social environment (40%).Conclusion: Many factors support the adherence to antihypertensive medication, including age, gender, time of hypertension diagnosis, and support from family or social environment. The adherence to antihypertensive medication among patients with hypertension visited Cileunyi Primary Health Care, Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia is good.

Abstract

Objective: To report a glioblastoma (GBM) case preceded by a hemorrhagic stroke.Methods: This case reported a 53-year-old male presenting at at Murni Teguh Memorial Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, with a chief complaint of an altered mental state. The condition had been worsened for two weeks. On anamnesis, he was identified to have  experienced intracerebral hemorrhage in January 2020. A follow-up head computed tomography scan was conducted in September 2020, showing a normal condition of the brain. Other oncogenic risk factors were not found. Due to convulsion in October 2020, the patient underwent a magnetic resonance imaging examination showing a cystic right temporoparietooccipital lesion and cerebral edema. Craniotomy tumor removal surgery was performed while the tumor was further examined for histopathological findings. The tumor was diagnosed as glioblastoma with microvascular proliferation and palisading necrosis.Results: There was some associations between hemorrhagic stroke and glioblastoma development.Conclusion: GBM preceded by hemorrhagic stroke is a rare case that can be diagnosed thoroughly by complete clinical and adjunct examinations.

Abstract

Objectives: To present a rare case of Congenital Complete Heart Block (CCHB) in the setting of post-cesarean delivery of an asymptomatic young patient.Methods: A 30-year-old female patient complained of sudden weakness after C-section delivery with spinal anesthesia. She presented a slow heart rate and Complete Heart Block (CHB) on electrocardiogram (ECG). After one week of observation, the ECG still presented a CHB condition. A permanent pacemaker (PPM) with DDDR mode was then installed for this patient.Result: The etiology of CHB, especially at a young age, is unclear, hence challenging. A patient with a CCHB is difficult to diagnose, especially without any previously related symptoms. This abnormality is usually detected during routine screening not related to cardiovascular disease. The patient in this case study presented an ECG of persistent CHB from the time this patient was admitted until one week after observation. The echocardiography showed normal results. Other modalities to confirm diagnosis and evaluate the prognosis of a CCHB should be done.Conclusion: Establishing the etiology of CHB in young patients is challenging. The implantation of PPM is needed because the condition is permanent, regardless the etiology. However, implanting a permanent pacemaker is not always an easy decision, especially in young patients.

Abstract

Objective: To establish the relationship between plasma matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 levels and diastolic functional abnormalities using the E/e’ measurement in concentric type Hypertensive Heart Disease (HHD) patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2014 to January 2015 in population with hypertension and concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH). Diastolic function was assessed with E/e’ measurement using echocardiography. The relationship between the two variables was analyzed using Spearman correlation.Results: Thirty-nine subjects (14 males, 35.9%) with the average relative wall thickness of 0.7(±0.15), average body weight of 63.45 (±12.97) kg, average height of 155.51 (±7.12) cm, average body mass index of 26.23 (±5.08) kg/m2, and mean age of 55 (±10) years were fit to be included in the analysis. The median systolic blood pressure was 140 (110-220) mmHg while the median diastolic blood pressure and median left ventricular mass index were 80 (70-110) mmHg and 119.24 (103.05-205.69) g/m2, respectively. The median MMP-9 was measured at 108 (4-460) ng/mL and the median E/e' was 10.99 (6.2-20.42). There was a significant positive correlation between MMP-9 and E/e' (r = 0.416, p = 0.004).Conclusion: There is a significant moderate positive correlation between the MMP-9 level and diastolic dysfunction in concentric LVH patients.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on fibroblast proliferation as a part of the tendon healing cascade. Methods: This was an unpaired comparative experimental animal laboratory study with one control groups and two experimental groups, each consisted of 10 Sprague Dawley rats. The experimental groups 1 and 2 were given infrared irradiation for 15 minutes and 30 minutes per day, respectively, after having their achilles tendon partially cut. Histological assessment was carried out to assess the fibroblast density in healing site after three weeks on intervention. Results: The median values of fibroblast density in group 1, group 2, and control group were 1, 2, and 1, respectively, with a p-value of  0.014. No significant difference (p = 0.123) was identified on Mann-Whitney test between the fibroblast density of group 1 and group 2. The same was also true forgroup 1 and control group (p = 0.315). A significant difference was found between group 2 and control group (p = 0.005). Conclusions: A regime of LLLT irradiation of 30 min/day for two weeks (1080 J cm-2) improves the fibroblast proliferation amidst tendon healing in a partially injured achilles tendon in a rat model, which is not seen in the regime with a 15 min/day duration. This emphasizes the significance of irradiation time to improve tendon healing, despite the deficient understanding of the mechanism.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the mechanism of erythropoiesis that led to anemia using the Immature Reticulocyte Fraction (IRF) parameter in various clinical phases of dengue fever.Methods: This study was a comparative analytical research using secondary data derived from the Dengue-associated Endothelial Cell Dysfunction and Thrombocyte Activation (DECENT) research. The study was performed at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, Indonesia from March 2011 to March 2012. Patients were grouped into fever, critical, recovery, and convalescent phases and a healthy control was established. Data collected were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, followed by Friedman test and Mann-Whitney post hoc test.Results: There were 244 subjects participating in this study. The median IRF for all subjects was 4.8% with an IQR of 2.4-8.1%. The values of Immature Reticulocyte Fraction in fever-phase, critical-phase, recovery-phase, convalescent-phase and healthy-control were 1.8% (IQR of 0.5-2.85%), 3.6% (IQR of 1.8-5.0%), 7.05% (IQR of 4.08-11.85%, 7.3 % (IQR of 3.95-9.3%) and 4.1% (IQR of 2.2-6.6%), respectively. There was a significant difference in IRF between groups (p<0.05).  The immature Reticulocyte Fraction in fever phase was significantly different from the IRF in other phases and healthy controls (p<0.05).Conclusions:There are changes in erythropoiesis activities detected through the IRF in various clinical phases of dengue infection. Erythropoiesis suppression occurs mainly during the fever phase and starts to be restored in the critical phase. In the recovery and convalescent phases, the erythropoiesis activities increase.  This is the first study describing IRF in multiple phases of dengue disease.
