Abstract

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial condition on the surface of the eye that occurs due to disruption of tear film homeostasis with manifestations of symptoms such as tear film instability, hyperosmolarity, inflammation, eye surface damage, and neurosensory abnormalities. DED can occur due to decreased eye fluid production or increased tear evaporation which is generally caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. The global prevalence of DED ranges from 5-50%, with women having a higher risk than men. The prevalence of dry eye in women (3.2 million) is higher than in men (1.6 million) aged over 50 years. Asian ethnicity is the most consistent risk factor for DED. The female gender factor is a risk in the development of DED with increasing age. The pathophysiological mechanisms of DED can be influenced by differences in endocrine function related to sex, especially androgen, estrogen and other hormones. The meibomian and lacrimal glands are target organs for androgen hormones, and low androgen activity can cause meibomian gland dysfunction and inflammation of the lacrimal glands, contributing to the occurrence of DED. In addition, differences in gene expression affect mucin production by the cornea and conjunctiva, as well as other hormonal involvement can also affect eye health and cause dry eye symptoms. Further understanding of the relationship between gender, hormones, and pathophysiological mechanisms of DED may aid the development of more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract

Migraine is a neurovascular disease which is one of the main factors of disability in adults under 50 years. Migraines are generally characterized by headache attacks that are unilateral, recurrent, hereditary and multifactorial. The prevalence of migraine in the world reaches 10-14% with the highest incidence in North America, Central America and South America. In Indonesia alone, the prevalence of migraine has reached 3.5 million people with the highest coming from individuals aged 15-24 years. Until now, the exact cause of migraines is not known. However, there are many risk factors that can influence the occurrence of migraines, including work-related factors. Occupational factors related to migraines include work stress, environmental factors, and excessive use of electronic screens. Work-related stress can be caused by workload, time pressure, and relationships with coworkers. Work environmental factors can include excessive lighting, noise, changes in temperature and air pressure, and strong odors. Meanwhile, the use of electronic screens can influence migraines because they are related to the use of blue light, computer flashes, light reflections, and prolonged exposure to light. The diagnosis of migraine can be made through the results of the history and physical examination, and if necessary, supporting examinations can also be carried out to rule out other secondary causes that may influence migraine.

Abstract

With high mortality rates worldwide, cervical cancer is a major threat to women's health. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a global strategy for elimination through HPV vaccination. Indonesia has implemented the HPV Immunization Introduction Program, including its implementation in the School Children Immunization Month, aimed at grade 5 and 6 elementary schools. The prevalence of cervical lesions has been reduced by HPV vaccination, but screening and adapting to changing epidemiology remain challenging. The influence of socioeconomic factors on risk highlights the need for prevention strategies that address social disparities. Successful vaccination not only protects individuals but also contributes to overall public health. Therefore, it requires adaptation and collaboration across sectors to address cervical cancer globally.

Abstract

Myoma or uterine fibroids are benign tumors that often occur in the uterine wall. Myomas can be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, and disorders of the urinary tract. Risk factors include age, race, age of menarche, parity, family history, hormonal contraceptive use, and obesity. Diagnostic examination involves pelvic examination, ultrasound, hysteroscopy, and MRI. Medical therapies used such as NSAIDs, oral contraceptives, Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena), tranexamic acid (cyclocapron), GnRH agonists and SPRMs and surgeries such as myomectomy, hysterectomy, uterine artery embolization, and MRgFUS. Management of Myoma must consider various factors, namely tumor size, patient age, symptom and the desire to maintain fertility in order to provide optimal treatment according to the patient's needs and preferences.

Abstract

Chalazion is a granulomatous inflammation with lipogranuloma or chronic non-infectious inflammation of the eyelid, in the form of a nodule formed due to inflammation and obstruction of the tarsal meibomian gland or zeis. This chalazion often occurs in all age groups, but the chalazion occur more commonly in the productive age. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with complaints of a lump on the upper eyelid, at the left and right eye for 4 months before entering the hospital. The lump is initially small but gets bigger over time, becomes red, feels painful and lumpy. This complaint has been repeated since 10 months ago. Currently the lump no longer feels painful, itchy or hot, but the lump is now permanent. On ophthalmological examination, it was found that the superior eyelid of the right eye had a nodule measuring ±5 mm and the superior eyelid of the left eye had a nodule measuring ±3mm. The diagnosis made was acute exacerbation of chalazion of right eye, then the patient was given non-medicamentosa therapy, medicamentosa, and operative treatment.

Abstract

The development of therapy for inherited genetic diseases using CRISPR-Cas9 technology has shown significant progress. This article discusses the history and working principles of CRISPR-Cas9, highlighting its applications in the therapy of inherited genetic diseases. Current research focuses include diseases such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Genetic therapy with CRISPR-Cas9 involves editing specific genes to correct disease-causing mutations, opening up opportunities for more effective treatments. Regarding the use of this technique, there are various difficulties, such as potential off-target effects, ethical issues, and long-term safety. However, efforts continue to be made to improve the specificity and accuracy of CRISPR-Cas9 so that the development of effective delivery methods and improving safety has become a major focus of research. Potentially, CRISPR-Cas9 could become a more specific and personalized genetic therapy, opening up opportunities to treat genetic diseases at the molecular level and providing alternative therapies for diseases that were previously difficult to treat. In addition, this technology has the potential for early prevention of genetic diseases and the development of more affordable gene therapies. Interdisciplinary collaboration is key in optimizing the potential of CRISPR-Cas9 to ensure the development of genetic disease therapies that are ethical and beneficial to human health in the future.
