Abstract

Objective: To determine the characteristics of respondents with stunted toddlers aged 12-36 months in the Batujajar and Cihampelas districts of West Bandung District.Methods: A case-control study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted from May to August 2022 in West Bandung Regency, Indonesia. The study included 124 mothers with stunted toddlers, who were divided into two groups - control and treatment - with 62 toddlers each, using simple random sampling.Result: The majority of children under the age of five in this study were female. In the case group, the majority of mothers were in the 20-29 age range (40.3%), while in the control group, the majority were in the 30-39 age range (38.7%). Most mothers in both the control and case groups had a high school education (41.8%). The majority of participating mothers were housewives (85.5%). Childcare was primarily provided by mothers, and most of the resource persons were also mothers.Conclusion: Based on the characteristics observed in this study, the majority of children under the age of five were female in both the case and treatment groups. Most mothers in both groups had a high school education, and the majority of participating mothers were housewives. Childcare was primarily handled by mothers, and most of the resource persons were also mothers.

Abstract

Objective: To identify the differences between trilateral and quadrilateral retinoblastoma based on radiologic imaging.Case: We found three cases of retinoblastoma at Sanglah General Hospital. The retinoblastoma patients we found were boys under the age of 5. The first patient presented with swelling, pain, and impaired vision in the right eye. The second and third patients presented with eye protrusion and leukocoria. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a calcified mass in the intraorbital region that extended to the cerebral hemispheres. It may be accompanied by hair-on-end periosteal reaction. In the first patient, the mass extended to the pineal gland. In the second and third patients, the mass extended to the suprasellar and pineal regions.  Trilateral retinoblastoma consists of a primordial midline neuroectodermal tumor that originates in the pineal or suprasellar region. It is an uncommon combination of unilateral or bilateral retinoblastomas. Quadrilateral retinoblastoma, on the other hand, presents with bilateral retinoblastoma and tumors in both the suprasellar and pineal regions. The histopathology of trilateral and quadrilateral retinoblastoma shows a different pattern from retinoblastoma.Conclusion: Retinoblastoma poses one of the most challenging problems due to its distinct patterns of growth, extension, and recurrence. Intracranial metastasis of trilateral and quadrilateral retinoblastoma exhibits a different pattern. The prognosis and diagnosis of retinoblastoma are significantly influenced by clinical examination, radiologic imaging, and histopathology.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the initial serum magnesium levels of critically ill septic shock patients upon admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and correlate these levels with the patients' requirements and outcomes, including ventilator support, length of stay in the ICU, occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias, and mortality rates.Methods: This was an observational study involving 60 patients who were admitted to the medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for septic shock. Serum magnesium levels were measured upon admission to the ICU. A comparison was made between patients with normal and abnormal magnesium levels at the time of admission to evaluate the need for vasopressor support, the average duration of assisted ventilation and dialysis, the incidence of arrhythmia, the average length of ICU stay, and mortality rates.Results: Out of the 60 cases studied, there were 42 males (70.00%) and 18 females (30.00%), resulting in a M:F ratio of 1:0.42. The mean age of both male and female patients was found to be comparable. The need for assisted ventilation and renal replacement therapy was found to be comparable in patients with normal and abnormal serum magnesium levels. The number of days for which assisted ventilation was required, the incidence of arrhythmia, the mean duration of ICU and hospital stay, and mortality were significantly higher in patients with abnormal magnesium levels at the time of ICU admission (P<0.05).Conclusion: Abnormal serum magnesium levels are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill septic shock patients admitted to the ICU.

Abstract

AbstractObjective: To determine the factors contributing to treatment dropout in tuberculosis (TB) patients.Methods: This study utilized a case-control design with a sample size of 81 participants. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted, and an accidental sampling technique was employed. The study was conducted at the Public Health Center/Puskesmas Medan Sunggal, in the Medan Sunggal District, City of Medan, and North Sumatra Province. The research took place from February to April 2023.Results: The research analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and family support (p<0.05). However, there was no significant relationship found between drug side effects and treatment dropout (p>0.05). This lack of significance may be attributed to the consistent occurrence of side effects throughout the different stages of treatment.Conclusion: In conclusion, this research demonstrates a significant correlation between patients’ knowledge, family support, and treatment dropout (p<0.05). Conversely, no significant correlation was found between drug side effects and treatment dropout (p>0.05).Keywords: Drug side effect, pulmonary TB, TB treatment drop out

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the relationship between age and immunization completeness and the occurrence of measles in Medan City in 2022.Methods: This study is quantitative research with a case-control study design. The respondents in this study are the entire population of Medan City. The sample size for this research is 96 respondents, with 48 in the case group and 48 in the control group, all recorded in the measles case report at the Health Department of Medan City in 2022. The study was conducted from January to July 2023.Results: Forty respondents in this study belonged to the toddler group, and most of whom had an incomplete immunization history. Based on chi-square analysis, a significant relationship was found between age and the occurrence of measles (p-value < 0.05), as well as between immunization completeness and the occurrence of measles (p-value < 0.05) with an odds ratio (OR) of 11.0. This means that respondents who are not immunized are 11 times more likely to experience measles compared to those who are immunized. Respondents with incomplete immunization are also 11 times more likely to experience measles compared to those with complete immunization.Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between age and immunization completeness and the occurrence of measles. Respondents with an incomplete immunization history are at 11 times higher risk of experiencing measles compared to those with a complete immunization history. For future research, it is recommended to increase the number of study respondents and further explore and expand on risk factors such as the history of contact with measles cases in the city of Medan.

Abstract

Objectives: To assess the functional and radiological outcomes of the distal tibia fractures managed surgically with a locking compression plate by MIPPO technique.Methods: This prospective observational study included 34 patients with distal tibial fractures treated at Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Medical College and Hospital, Sangli, India. After ethics committee approval and informed consent, eligible adults with complex or unfavorable simple, closed fractures were enrolled. Exclusions were patients under 18 with pathological fractures or comorbidities affecting functional outcomes. Standard preoperative protocols and imaging were conducted. All patients were surgically managed with a locking compression plate by MIPPO technique. Postoperatively, exercises and staged weight-bearing were implemented. Follow-up assessments at 45, 90, 135, and 180 days evaluated pain, movement, and radiological union using Olerud and Molander score. Statistical analysis utilized paired t-test and Chi-Square test.Results: Out of 34 patients with distal tibial fractures, 24 (70.6%) were males and 10 (29.4%) were females with a mean age of 41.88 years. Most fractures were 42A1 (35.3%) and 43A2 (32.4%). Post-operative superficial wound infection occurred in 3 (8.8%) and deep infection in 2 (5.9%). Mean union time was 16.62 weeks. Functional outcomes were excellent in 3 (8.8%), good in 22 (64.7%), and fair in 9 (26.5%). At six months, complications included ankle stiffness (29.4%), non-union (20.6%), and malunion (8.8%). No cases had plate or screw breakage.Conclusion: MIPPO technique allows for good functional outcomes while reducing complications, especially in fractures with poor soft tissue conditions.

Abstract

Objective: To explore the association between differential white blood cell count and hospital length of stay (LOS) in COVID-19 patients.Methods: This study is a post-hoc analysis of two prospective cohort studies involving hospitalized COVID-19 patients who received standard therapy, including antiviral and supportive treatments at Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, during the Delta and Omicron dominant pandemic periods. Baseline differential white blood cell count before initiation of therapy were documented. LOS was categorized as ≤10 days and >10 days.Result: Data from 463 subjects were included with most subjects were males (62.2%) with a median age of 54 (14–93) years. The average LOS for subjects was 12.7 (12.1–13.4) days. Bivariate tests showed that lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and neutrophil-monocyte ratio (NMR) had significant association (p <0.05) to LOS. Logistic regression showed that higher monocyte counts were associated with shorter LOS (adjusted OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.840 - 0.943; p < 0.001). ROC curve showed that higher monocyte counts (>8.35 × 10^3/µL) at admission may predict shorter hospitalization (<10 days).Conclusion: Monocyte count may serve as a potential marker for length of stay in COVID-19 patients, offering key insights for optimizing patient management and resource allocation.

Abstract

Objective: To estimate prevalence and type of thyroid function abnormalities and explore their associations with physical fatigue in first-year medical students.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study comprising of 200 first-year medical students.  Demographic details and history of any significant medical illness was asked and noted. Thyroid function tests were conducted on all participants. The prevalence and type of thyroid function abnormalities were documented in all students,  and the presence and severity of physical fatigue were assessed on the basis of physical fatigue score. Participants with any kind of thyroid function abnormality were compared with those with normal thyroid function tests for presence and severity of fatigue.Results: Among the 200 students, 144 (72%) were males and 56 (28%) were females, resulting in a male-to-female ratio of 1:0.38. Subclinical hypothyroidism was identified in 9% of students (18 cases), while clinical hypothyroidism was present in 7% (14 cases). Additionally, subclinical hyperthyroidism was detected in 1% of students (2 cases), with no cases of clinical hyperthyroidism reported. Female students were found to be having more thyroid function abnormalities as compared to male students and the difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.0109).  Students with abnormal thyroid function tests (34 cases) had a markedly higher mean FSS score (43.22±4.50) as compared to students with euthyroid (16.85±2.70).Conclusion: Subclinical thyroid abnormalities are prevalent among young individuals, particularly those with physical fatigue. This study revealed a significant link between presence of fatigue and the possibility of thyroid dysfunction.

Abstract

Objective: Ifosfamide is a chemotherapeutic drug available for various malignancy, including lymphoma. Ifosfamide has adverse effects including myelosuppression, nephrotoxicity, hemorrhagic cystitis, and neurotoxicity. Encephalopathy is a severe manifestation of neurotoxicity due to ifosfamide, with an incidence of 10–40%. This study aimed to report two cases of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy.Case: This case studies reported two relapsed lymphoma patients with almost similar characteristics who received ifosfamide chemotherapy. The first case of 48-year-old woman with relapsed High-Grade B-cell lymphoma stage IIIBE while the second case of 38-year-old woman with relapsed non-hodgkin lymphoma. The first case showed a good outcome with improvement in consciousness 48 hours after stopping ifosfamide and thiamine, while the second case experienced tumor lysis syndrome, leading to the death of the patient.Conclusion: Mechanism of ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy remains unclear, with the hypothesis from the neurotoxic effects of the resultant metabolite chloracetyldehide. Radiology examination of the brain and electroencephalography is required to rule out other differential diagnoses. Early recognition of adverse effects, followed by immediate discontinuation of ifosfamide, administration of therapy, such as methylene blue and/or thiamine, and supportive treatment usually produced good outcomes.
