Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the eye disorders caused by complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Indonesia has a high prevalence of DR (43.1%) compared to other Asia-Pacific countries. Damage and blockage of blood vessels in the retina causes impaired vision, which may lead to a total vision loss. DR requires special treatment, coupled with regular treatment, that is expensive and may result in depression and poor quality of life. This study aimed to determine the association between the degree of diabetic retinopathy with the level of depression and quality of life in people with DR in the eye clinic of Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Banda Aceh. This cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2018 to January 2019. Data were obtained through funduscopy reading, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) questionnaire, and Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The subjects of this study were all diabetic retinopathy patients who were sampled using the accidental sampling method. Based on the Spearman correlation analysis, there was a correlation between degree of DR and depression level (p value of 0.004) and quality of life (p value of 0,037). In conclusion, there is a moderate correlation between the degree of DR with depression level and quality of life among DM patients.

Abstract

Forensic medicine is a branch of medicine that examines victims for the benefit of justice. Doctors play an important role in documenting injuries or abnormalities on the victim's body in the patient's medical record. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of cases and injuries of patients at M Djamil General Hospital during the period of 2010–2020. This was a descriptive retrospective study on secondary data from the medical records of patients who were examined and consulted to the Forensic Department of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang during 2010–2020. During this period, 11.729 patients (victims) were examined by and consulted to the Department. Most of the victims were male (70.6%) aged 10–19 years old (29.2%). Most of the victims were involved in a traffic accident, followed by persecution. Victims of traffic accident dominated the forensic pathology cases after sudden death.  Abrasions and open wound injury were the most frequent types of injury, with head and neck as the body parts mostly affected. In terms of the type of wound, most victims experienced injuries caused by blunt force (87%). This study concluded that the forensic cases managed at the Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital vary with blunt forces by a traffic accident as the most frequent cause of injuries while the head and neck become the body parts that are  most susceptible to injury, both for survivors and those who died.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic condition where the body's ability to produce and utilize insulin is impaired; thus, wound healing process is slower than usual in patients with DM. Lemon pepper has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the effect of topical application of lemon pepper fruit ethanol extracts on the healing process of oral traumatic ulcers in diabetic rats. This study was performed at the Pharmacology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia from September 2021–October 2021. Thirty males diabetic Wistar rats were thermally injured on the lower labial mucosa and divided into five groups: control, standard, and lemon pepper gel 5%, 7.5%, and 10% groups. The ulcer size was measured after injury and on the 7th and 14th day. On the last day, all rats underwent both routine blood count and histology study for oral ulcer tissue. On the 14th day, all treatment groups showed some significant difference wound contraction, with the highest tendency of wound contraction seen in both lemon pepper gel 10% and standard groups (62.50%. p-value =0.001). The improvement of wound contraction was also supported by reduced white blood cell count (p-value<0.05) in routine blood count and regeneration of epidermis and dermis tissues in the histology study. Hence, it can be concluded that the lemon pepper extract gel in all concentrations has good physical stability and the lemon pepper gel with the highest concentration group presents the best ulcer healing activity compared to other concentrations and has similar ulcer healing activity as the standard group that receives Kenalog® in Orabase.

Abstract

Increased chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortality rate is significantly associated with increased blood phosphate levels. Hyperphosphatemia control is one of the main focuses in the management of hemodialysis (HD) patients. A high protein diet has been suggested to prevent malnutrition in hemodialysis patients. However, a high protein and phosphorus diet has the risk of increasing the phosphate level in the blood circulation, leading to a higher mortality rate of hemodialysis patients. This study aimed to prove that the level of protein and phosphate intake is associated with hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients with routine HD. This was cross-sectional analytical study conducted from September to October 2020 on 66 CKD patients who underwent hemodialysis. Subject characteristics and phosphorus and protein intake data were obtained from a questionnaire food recall adapted from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Data consumption patterns were processed using the nutritional survey software to obtain the nutritional values. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test to identify the relationship and risk between hyperphosphatemia and diet protein, phosphorus, and protein-phosphorus ratio. The confidence level in this study was 95%. There was a significant relationship between protein and phosphorus intake in hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients. The risk factors for hyperphosphatemia were high phosphorus intake (p=0.018; OR=3.886;95% CI: 1.212–12.460) and adequate protein intake (p=0.035; OR=3.674; 95% CI: 1.049-12.865). This study showed no significant relationship between phosphorus-protein ratio, protein-phosphorus ratio, and hyperphosphatemia incidence. In conclusion, high protein intake and excessive phosphorus intake provide a significant relationship to the incidence of hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients undergoing routine hemodialysis.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common cases in orthopedics and traumatology clinic. Ankle osteoarthritis is less common than osteoarthritis of hip and knee. Limited data and literature resulted in suboptimal treatment strategy. The purpose of this study was to describe the profile and frequency of ankle osteoarthritis at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, a tertiary referral hospital in Indonesia. A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was conducted on all patients diagnosed with ankle osteoarthritis enrolled in the medical record database at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia in November 2020–November 2021. Results showed that the majority of the patients were female (52%), aged ≥60 years old (44%), graduated from senior high school education (56%), and housewives (30%). The 100 patients were proportionally distributed with most of them were categorized as suffering from secondary osteoarthritis with post-trauma predominance. From the perspective of body mass index, 85% patients were classified as above normal. As many as 76% of patients presented to the hospital in an advanced stage. With the high rate of posttraumatic ankle osteoarthritis, concerns should be given more to the ankle trauma management, as well as to the population with high body mass index. Increased health promotion for general population and health care providers is also needed to reduce the tendency of late presentation at the health care facility.

Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that attacks the differentiation of skeletal muscle and usually affects children, contributing to about 60% of all soft tissue sarcomas. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between p27Kip1 immunoexpression and p45Skp2 and p38Jab1 coactivators, as well as the relationship between p27Kip1 immunoexpression and p45Skp2 and p38Jab1 coactivators on stages and prognosis of oral RMS in children. This was a restrospective study on the immunoexpression of p27Kip1 and p45Skp2 and p38Jab1 coactivators on RMS cells. The RMS stage was determined according to the American Joint Committee of Cancer/AJCC of stages 1–4, and were divided into group I (stages 1 and 2) and group II (3 and 4). Samples were retrieved fromt he paraffin blocks of patients with embryonal RMS. Each paraffin block was cut, and 6 samples with 5 µm thickness from each block were examined using p27Kip1, p45Skp2, and p38Jab1 proteins. The analysis was performed using a linear regression test on the relationship between p27Kip1 and p45Skp2 and p38Jab1, resulting in a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a coefficient value of b -1.36. Meanwhile, the stage was analyzed  using the Wald test of 8.0688, resulting in a p-value   of 0.0045 with a significant negative correlation. Analysis on the relationship between p45Skp2 and p38Jab1 and the RMS stage was performed using the Gamma test, resulting in a significant positive correlation (p<0.05).

Abstract

Different dental cements and restorative materials may have various impacts on the shear bond strength (SBS) to titanium alloy of dental implants, and some fluoride-containing cements may destroy the oxide layer of Ti alloys. The aim of this study was to evaluate the retention and SBS of different dental cements to titanium alloy using different restorative materials and also the corrosive effect of dental cements on titanium alloy. In this in-vitro study, a total of ninety titanium alloy discs (10×3 mm) and restorative material discs (7×3mm) consisting of Co-Cr soft metal, zirconia, and Ni-Cr were constructed. Three dental cement of 2 different compositional classes, glass ionomer (GI) and zinc phosphate (ZP), were used to cement the discs (n=10 in each paired disks). SBS was evaluated using a universal testing machine with a cross-head speed of 1mm/min. A stereomicroscope (×32) and a scanning electron microscope were used to determine the fracture pattern and titanium corrosion, respectively. Data were then analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA and Tamhane comparison test (P<0.05). The mean SBS of studied groups ranged from 0.12±0.07 to 6.2±0.97 Mpa, with the Ni-Cr and zirconia were demonstrated as the materials with the highest and lowest SBS to GI and ZP, respectively. The cements created a strong bond to the  Co-Cr soft metal while the GI cement remained on restorative material disc surfaces in all samples, except in the zirconia sample. Mixed patterns were mostly seen in ZP cement groups. To conclude, applying fluoride-containing cements have no effect on titanium.

Abstract

Thyroidectomy is a relatively safe surgical procedure for thyroid gland removal with a with mortality and morbidity rates of less than 2–3%. Complication in the form of sound changes often goes unnoticed in post-thyroid patients despite its high incidence rate, i.e., 87% of all surgical cases. Laryngeal edema as the underlying cause can be triggered by intubation or extubation during anesthesia; malfunction of the strap muscles; surgery that directly causes injury to the superior laryngeal nerve; and recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries. Several studies on the use of dexamethasone to prevent or reduce laryngeal edema that occurs after thyroidectomy have been conducted with controversial results. This study was conducted to solve this controversy. This was a double-blind randomized prospective study on thyroid tumors patients who underwent thyroidectomy at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia, from December 2020 to May 2021. This study evaluated dexamethasone effects on the patient’s sound changes using the Sound Handicap Index (VHI) questionnaire before surgery, day 1 after the surgery, and day 7 after the surgery. Analysis showed that the VHI significantly decreased on day 1 (p<0.01) and on day 7 (p<0.01), and the difference between the VHI on day 1 (D-1) and day 7 (D-7) was significant (p<0.01). When analyzed using the bivariate analysis, no statistically significant difference was found between the VHI variable before surgery, D-1, and D-7and VHI H7 in the group of patients using dexamethasone and without dexamethasone. Dexamethasone administration has no significant effect on laryngeal edema associated with changes in sound quality.

Abstract

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is commonly linked with recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). Thus, the patterns of the pathogenic microorganism becomes important consideration in the management of this disease. This study aimed to describe patient profiles, disease etiology, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of microorganisms in VVF patients. This retrospective study was conducted on 49 medical records of vesicovaginal fistula patients seen from January 2016 to December 2020. The most prevalent age group of the patients was 40-50 years old. Analysis demonstrated that the leading etiology for VVF among these patients was malignancy (73.47%). The antimicrobial susceptibility was tested using the disc diffusion method and Escherichia coli (44.90%) and Proteus mirabilis (14.29%) were identified as the bacterial pathogens most frequently isolated from urine samples. Of the 39 patients with significant growth of organism cases, 29 (74.35%) had symptomatic UTIs. The isolated gram-negative bacteria had excellent sensitivity to aztreonam, ertapenem, and meropenem, with a more than 90% susceptibility rate, while the  gram-positive bacteria had good sensitivity to amikacin, cefepime, tigecycline, aztreonam, ertapenem, and meropenem, with a more than 90% susceptibility. In conclusion,  bacterial culture and antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) remains an essential part of managing VVF and their results can be used as a reference for empirical therapy. Amikacin, cefepime, tigecycline, aztreonam, ertapenem, and meropenem should be considered for treatment of UTIs associated with VVF.
