Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are global health issues linked to low birth weight. This study explored the correlation between these factors and low birth weight at the General Hospital of Scholoo Keyen, South Sorong, Southwest Papua, Indonesia. A cross-sectional observational analytic study was conducted from September 2022 to March 2023, involving pregnant women who gave birth at the General Hospital of Scholoo Keyen. The correlation between risk factors and low birth weight was analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance threshold of p<0.05. Results showed that among 162 pregnant women (average age: 27.72±6.62 years), anemia severity was distributed as follows:severe (3.7%), moderate (16.0%), and mild (40.1%). However, no significant relationship was found between anemia and birth weight (p=0.850, p>0.05). The incidences of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B were 3.1%, 13.6%, and 7.4%, respectively. A significant association was identified between HIV infection and low birth weight (p=0.000), while no such association was found for syphilis (p=0.160) or hepatitis B infection (p=0.852). In conclusion, HIV infection is associated with low-birth-weight newborns, but there are no apparent relationships between anemia, syphilis, or hepatitis B infection and low-birth-weight newborns, This study implies the importance of nutritional support among pregnant mothers with HIV and delaying pregnancy in HIV-positive women to until their immune system improve.

Abstract

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations account for 10% of shoulder injuries, with Rockwood type III being the most common. Despite its prevalence, there is no consensus regarding a gold standard surgical treatment for chronic ACJ dislocations. tients often delay seeking medical attention during the chronic phase, during which soft tissue healing capacity significantly declines. A 30-year-old male presented with persistent shoulder pain and restricted elevation two months after a motorcycle accident. The patient initially sought alternative treatment, later developed chronic pain and an inability to elevate the shoulder. Physical and radiograph examinations revealed a Rockwood type III ACJ dislocation. After treatment with the tension band wiring (TBW) technique, functional outcomes were assessed using the Disabilities of The Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Constant scores. The Constant score improved from 61 to 92 and while the DASH score decreased from 45 to 5 in 3 months and 2 weeks post-operation. International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) subdivided Rockwood Type III injuries into IIIA (stable) and IIIB (unstable), with type IIIB requiring surgical treatment. Several studies suggested that mechanical stabilization with biological augmentation is sufficient in neglected cases. However, this technique is expensive and required specialized skill and expertise in shoulder arthroscopy. To overcome this challenge, TBW has emerged as a cost-effective and straightforward surgical technique that enables faster rehabilitation and provides a stable, pain-free shoulder without postoperative complications. It may serve as a viable treatment option, particularly in resource-limited or rural settings.
