Abstract

Thalassemia is a form of microcytic anemia caused by impaired synthesis of the globin protein in hemoglobin, with β-thalassemia being one of the most common types. β-thalassemia arises from mutations in the β-globin gene located on chromosome 11, resulting in reduced or absent production of the β-globin chain. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2019), the global prevalence of β-thalassemia major is estimated at 39.96 million people (5.2% of the world’s population), with 1.5% identified as carriers. In Indonesia, the 2018 Riskesdas survey reported 7,209 cases of β-thalassemia. The decreased synthesis of the β-globin chain leads to elevated levels of HbA2 and HbF. β-thalassemia is classified into three categories: minor, intermediate, and major. This review focuses on the characteristics of HbA2 and its significance in diagnosing the β-thalassemia carrier. This article is a narrative literature review that examines various studies on HbA2 (HbA2) and its role in the β-thalassemia carrier. The literature reviewed was sourced from several databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Elsevier, using the keywords "Carrier β-thalassemia" and "HbA2." The selected studies span from 2010 to 2024. Hemoglobin A (HbA) is the primary type of hemoglobin found in adults, with HbA2 and HbF serving as minor components. Individuals with β-thalassemia exhibit reduced or absent production of the β-globin chain, leading to an imbalance between α and β chains and an associated increase in HbA2 levels. Elevated HbA2 levels are commonly observed in β-thalassemia carriers, making this measurement important for predicting the risk of β-thalassemia major in their offspring. Studies suggest that HbA2 levels can be influenced by conditions such as megaloblastic anemia and iron deficiency. Additionally, factors like pregnancy and serum ferritin levels have been investigated, with mixed findings on their potential impact on HbA2 levels.

Abstract

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia is still dominated by neonatal deaths, accounting for 55% of all infant deaths. Neonatal sepsis is the third leading cause of neonatal deaths after low birth weight (LBW) and asphyxia. Late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) is a systemic response to infection when the neonate is more than 72 hours old, as evidenced by a positive blood culture. Currently, late-onset neonatal sepsis remains the third leading cause of neonatal deaths. Late-onset neonatal sepsis usually occurs through the transmission of pathogens from the environment (nosocomial). The difficulty of early diagnosis in late-onset neonatal sepsis necessitates a diagnosis based on nosocomial infection factors, such as the use of invasive procedures and prolonged hospital stays. This research employed a descriptive analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of all neonates diagnosed with neonatal sepsis and recorded in medical records with positive blood culture results in the Perinatology ward of RSUD Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Bandar Lampung in 2023. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-square test with Fisher's exact test as an alternative. The data suggests a statistically significant correlation between invasive procedures (p= 0.043) and length of hospital stay (p= 0.012) with the development of late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS).

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a frequently occurring skin inflammation characterized by pruritus and lesions in specific areas such as the face and extremities. The majority of cases manifest during the first year of life, with a high prevalence among children under five years of age. In Europe, 118 million cases were recorded in 2023, whereas in Indonesia, the prevalence reached 10-20% among children and 1-3% among adults. This condition involves an interplay of exogenous and endogenous factors, including environmental exposure, genetic predisposition, immunological mechanisms, and colonization by Staphylococcus aureus. Environmental factors contributing to the incidence of atopic dermatitis include exposure to pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5, PM10, and volatile organic compounds (formaldehyde). Such exposure is a significant risk factor for atopic dermatitis in urban areas. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between residential areas and the incidence of atopic dermatitis at RSUD Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek during the period of January 2022 to July 2024. Data were collected from medical records, encompassing a total sample size of 82 patients. The chi-square test revealed a statistically significant relationship between residential area and the occurrence of atopic dermatitis, with individuals residing in urban areas being 0.23 times more likely to develop atopic dermatitis compared to those living in non-urban areas (p=0.02; OR=0.23)

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative aerobic bacterium. This bacterium often causes infections in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. This bacterium usually causes opportunistic infections and plays an important role in nosocomial infections. Treatment and eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are very difficult because the mutation of this bacterium occurs rapidly and this bacterium is easily adaptable, causing high rates of antibiotic resistance in this bacterium. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the bacteria included in the MDR ESKAPE pathogen group by WHO. This article is a literature review that examines several literatures to be made into a discussion and conclusion. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to various types of antibiotics through 3 mechanisms, namely intrinsic, acquired, and adaptive. This bacterium has minimal nutritional needs and can tolerate various temperatures, this is one of the strengthening factors for antibiotic resistance to this bacterium. WHO includes this bacterium in the critical list because of its resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. Research shows high resistance of P. aeruginosa to carbapenems, quinolones, and aztreonam. While piperacillin and tazobactam are the most effective antibiotics for this bacteria. Many classes of antibiotics have become resistant to this bacteria, so that renewal is needed in the line of treatment for infections by P. aeruginosa. Therefore, wise and rational use of antibiotics is needed so that the number of antibiotic resistance, especially to this bacteria, does not increase.
