Abstract

Gout Arthritis is a chronic progressive non-communicable disease caused by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposits. The prevalence of gout in Indonesia is the highest among other Asian countries. Diabetes and Hypertension are non-communicable diseases that occur in the world. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease caused by impaired insulin secretion or insulin function. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of death in the world. The prevalence of type 2 DM sufferers according to the 2018 Riskesdas is 8.5%. Hypertension is a silent killer disease, according to the 2018 Riskesdas the prevalence of hypertension was 34.1%, an increase compared to 2013 which was 25.8%. Hypertension is a condition when blood vessel pressure is more than 140/90 mmHg. According to WHO 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide suffer from Hypertension. The diagnosis of Gout arthritis, Diabetes mellitus, and Hypertension is made based on clinical and supporting findings. A holistic approach based on family physicians was implemented through drug and non-drug interventions, including nutrition education, physical exercise, and family counseling in three home visits. Evaluation showed a decrease in uric acid levels, blood sugar, and improvement in blood pressure, as well as an increase in understanding and changes in patient behavior related to disease management. Patients began to implement a healthy lifestyle, such as regular exercise and food recording. An evidence-based medicine approach with family support has been shown to be effective in improving disease control and patient quality of life.

Abstract

Otitis externa is an inflammation of the outer ear skin that is commonly caused by excessive ear cleaning, exposure to high humidity, frequent swimming, and prolonged use of earplugs or headsets. The most common pathogens involved in this condition are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Otitis externa is a common condition that can occur in all age groups, although it is rarely found in children under two years of age. Its incidence peaks between the ages of 7 and 14, with approximately 10% of the population experiencing the condition at some point in their lives, and 95% of cases being acute. There is no difference in incidence based on gender. Studies in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom report an annual incidence of approximately 1%, while data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate approximately 2.4 million visits per year due to acute otitis externa in the United States (8.1 visits per 1,000 population). In developing countries, the prevalence is reported to reach 17.5%. This report is a case study conducted using a family medicine approach, involving the identification of risk factors, clinical issues, and evidence-based medicine management with a family-oriented, patient-centered, and community-based approach. Primary data was obtained through self-reporting, physical examination, and home visits, while secondary data was derived from patient medical records. The evaluation was conducted holistically through qualitative and quantitative approaches from the beginning to the end of the study.

Abstract

Kolelitiasis (gallstones) is the deposition of crystals in the pacifier sac or in the pacifier duct, consisting of cholesterol, bilirubin, and pacifier. Although often asymptomatic and found incidentally, gallstones can cause right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, obstruction, cholangitis, and pancreatitis, especially after consuming oily or spicy foods. Obstruction of the cystic duct, either by stones or functional problems, can cause acute inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). Typical symptoms are usually biliary colic, including post-meal cramping pain in the right upper quadrant or epigastric pain radiating to the back or scapula, especially seen after eating high spicy foods, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, while typical symptoms of cholecystitis are pain that does not go away, and a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant, causing congestion that is edematous and thickened. This disease occurs due to an imbalance involving lipids and bile salts in the bile stored in the gallbladder. Patient Mr. I, aged 68 years old have several risk factors and comorbid associated with Kolelitiasis and cholecystitis and the following case report presents a discussion of the patient's clinical features and laboratory test results related to the onset of this disease.

Abstract

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is an inherited kidney disorder characterized by the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, frequently involving other organs such as the liver. It is a progressive condition that can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This case report aims to explore the clinical course and management approach of a PKD patient with poor follow-up adherence since diagnosis. A 55-year-old female with a diagnosis of PKD since 2009 presented with abdominal enlargement, fatigue, and right upper quadrant discomfort. Despite a positive family history, the patient did not receive regular monitoring and relied on herbal remedies. Over 16 years, disease progression was marked by significant increases in serum urea and creatinine, development of multiple renal and hepatic cysts, and progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4–5. The patient currently suffers from hepatic cyst complications and ESRD. This case highlights the accelerated progression of PKD in the absence of consistent clinical monitoring and early therapeutic intervention. It underscores the importance of early detection, regular renal function evaluation, patient and family education, and supportive care. Planning for renal replacement therapy and genetic screening of offspring are crucial to mitigate disease progression and improve outcomes in PKD patients.

Abstract

Wound causes mechanical bleeding, inducing a response of the body to fix itself which undergoes a wound healing process through a few phases; hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation or remodelling. Wound healing is a complex process due to biocellular and biochemistry activities occuring continously. One of the natural treatments is the administration of randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf, a Spermatophyte which has been identified and used for its healing properties. This study was an experimental study with a post-test-only control group design, and datas were analyzed using a non-parametric Kruskal Wallis test. Treatments were given randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extract, grouped into 4: (K1): a negative control group, (P1): 40 ml of randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extract, (P2): 60 ml of randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extract, and (P3): 80 ml of randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extract. Through this study, randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extracts were rated based on the its wound healing rate and showed results of 80 ml, 60 ml, and 40 ml respectively. There is an effect of administration of randu (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extract on cut wound healing in mice (Mus musculus L) (p=0,037)
