Abstract

BACKGROUND Burn injuries are a global public health issue that impact healing time and cause complications. While silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream is commonly used for treatment, research indicates that SSD can hinder the wound healing process. Natural alternatives like Aloe vera, honey, and amniotic membranes have shown promise in promoting wound healing. This study aimed to evaluate their efficacy by their wound healing time and infection rate. METHODS 3 independent reviewers conducted a literature search across 6 databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, and ProQuest). Quality assessment was conducted using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool, while network meta-analysis was performed using the netmeta package in R. The variable in this study is the average time to burn wound healing and infection occurrence by analyzing MD data or OR of each intervention, with 95% CI to calculate the efficacy. RESULTS A total of 3,434 patients from 37 studies were included. In the analysis of 26 studies comparing the healing time to SSD, A. vera has the best efficacy (MD: −4.75; 95% CI: −8.67 to −0.86), followed by amniotic membrane (MD: −4.71; 95% CI: −7.45 to −1.97), and honey (MD: −4.25; 95% CI: −6.76 to −1.73). Meanwhile, the occurrence of infection analysis in burn wounds across 24 studies highlighted that honey has the lowest infection rate (OR: 0.09; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.23) and was the only statistically significant finding when compared to SSD. CONCLUSIONS Aloe vera and amniotic membrane are effective for wound healing, while honey is particularly effective in preventing wound infection in patients with burn injuries.

Abstract

BACKGROUND A notable rise in sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases among youth correlates with a lack of reproductive health awareness, affecting nearly 80% of Indonesian adolescents. Additionally, sociocultural taboo acts as a challenge to reproductive health implementation in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an online reproductive health module focused on STIs for Indonesian adolescents. METHODS This research was a mixed methods approach, integrating quantitative study using univariate analysis (survey and questionnaire) and qualitative study using the Delphi method (open discussion and focus group discussion). The study was conducted between March 2 and July 28, 2022. We began by conceptualizing a literature-based module, an online survey, and virtual discussions involving students, teachers, and parents. Then, we consulted with clinical psychologists and dermatovenereologists. Additionally, students completed an assessment to establish a baseline of their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) regarding reproductive health and STIs. RESULTS Of 327 high school students across Jakarta, analysis of the 129 completed KAB surveys showed that only 56.6% and 65.1% attained acceptable scores (>65) for knowledge and behavior, respectively, with 24.8% being at risk for STIs. Key recommendations included incorporating multimedia elements, ensuring clarity and simplicity in language, adopting non-judgmental tone, providing comprehensive explanations of STIs and their long-term impact, and supporting learning with face-to-face sessions and ongoing access to concise, cost-effective educational resources. CONCLUSIONS Adolescents need a comprehensive, interactive, instructive, accessible, non-discriminatory reproductive module that strengthens the self-concept that upholds Indonesian values and norms.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Thyroid cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the endocrine system, with a rapidly rising incidence over the past 3 decades. Treatment for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) typically includes surgery, radioactive iodine (I-131) therapy, and levothyroxine (L-T4) suppressive therapy. This study aimed to explore the potential side effects of I-131 therapy on reproductive function in men and women with DTC. METHODS A literature search was performed using 4 databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, BioMed Central, and Google Scholar), limited to English publications since 2013. Clinical trials and observational studies that evaluated I-131 in DTC, focused on reproductive-age patients, and included pre-therapy or during-therapy examinations, administered doses, and treatment frequencies of I-131 were selected. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist is used as a comprehensive evaluation tool, and the literature quality was categorized as high, moderate, and low. RESULTS The final 17 articles examined the effect of I-131, with 13 focusing on women's reproductive function and 4 on men's. Women who received I-131 therapy can lower anti-Mullerian hormone levels and disrupt menstrual cycles within the first year, and it does not affect subsequent pregnancies. For men, the therapy led to elevated levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, along with changes in sperm quantity, morphology, and motility, which tend to normalize within a year post-therapy. CONCLUSIONS The reproductive side effects associated with I-131 therapy are generally transient, with most individuals experiencing a return to normal within 1 year following treatment.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Preterm infants often require continuous positive airway pressure due to immature respiratory tracts. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) manifests as prolonged oxygen dependence until 28 days of age and is classified into mild, moderate, or severe forms. The lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) aims to reopen collapsed alveoli, enhancing oxygenation during mechanical ventilation using the assist control volume guarantee mode (MV-AC/VG). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of LRM on alveolar and endothelial injuries, neonatal microcirculation, and its relation to BPD reduction or mortality in preterm infants. METHODS This study was conducted from March 2021 to April 2022 at Cipto Mangunkusumo and Bunda Menteng Hospitals, Jakarta. The participants are <32 weeks infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome requiring MV-AC/VG, divided into LRM and control groups (n = 55 each). The alveolar injury was assessed using plasma surfactant protein-D (SP-D), endothelial injury by flow cytometry for endothelial microparticles (CD-31⁺/CD-42-), and neonatal microcirculation via transcutaneous-artery CO2 gap (TcPCO₂-PaCO₂) and transcutaneous O2 index (TcPO₂/PaO₂) measurements at 1 and 72 hours post-ventilation. RESULTS LRM did not negatively affect preterm infants (24–32 weeks) undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. At 72 hours, no significant differences were observed in alveolar (SP-D) and endothelial injury (CD-31+/CD-42-), nor in BPD reduction or mortality by 36 weeks. CONCLUSIONS LRM is a beneficial intervention for enhancing respiratory support and microcirculation in preterm infants. Among survivors, LRM reduced the time to achieve the lowest FiO2 (60.0 versus 435.0 hours, p<0.0001), shortened respiratory support duration (25.0 versus 36.83 days, p = 0.044), and improved TcO2 index (1.00 versus 1.00, p = 0.009).

Abstract

BACKGROUND According to the WHO Target Product Profiles for COVID-19 Vaccines, vaccine development should be indicated for active immunization in all populations, in conjunction with other control measures to curtail the pandemic. Several RBD-based COVID-19 vaccines are being evaluated and have shown advantages. CoV2-Bio was developed based on the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 RBD amino acid sequence, representing residues of the spike protein of the Wuhan-Hu-1 isolate. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of CoV2-Bio when compared to CoronaVac. METHODS This was an observer-blinded, randomized controlled prospective study of safety and immunogenicity of the CoV2-Bio in healthy adult population. A total of 54 healthy participants were randomized to receive either 3 doses of CoV2-Bio or 2 doses of CoronaVac, and 1 dose of placebo, administered 28 days apart. Participants were followed up for safety and immunogenicity. IgG antibody titers (ELISA) and neutralization assay against Wuhan and Delta strains were evaluated at baseline, Days 28, 56, and 84. We assessed seropositive rate, seroconversion, and GMT as parameters. RESULTS Both vaccines were well tolerated and induced good antibody response. The incidence rate and intensity of local and systemic adverse events did not differ between vaccine and control groups. The vaccine group showed a larger proportion of seroconversion (4-fold increase antibody) (87.5% versus 46.2%, p = 0.001) and higher GMT (305.9 AU/ml versus 102.4 AU/ml, p<0.001) when compared to control group. CONCLUSIONS 3 doses of the CoV2-Bio are safe and immunogenic in healthy adult population. 3 doses of the CoV2-Bio COVID-19 vaccine produce a better immunogenicity profile compared to CoronaVac.

Abstract

Cecal volvulus (CV) is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. A 22-year-old man with cerebral palsy presented with intestinal obstruction symptoms for 2 days. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a severely dilated cecum, confirmed as CV, during exploratory laparotomy. A right hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis was performed due to an unhealthy cecum. However, his postoperative recovery was stormy as he developed right flank subcutaneous emphysema, but the surgical drain was empty. Follow-up CT showed no extravasation of oral contrast from the lumen, but a relaparotomy noticed a small leak at the posterolateral aspect of the anastomosis, which was reinforced. He recovered well and was discharged 5 days after the relaparotomy. In conclusion, despite being uncommon, subcutaneous emphysema can become an indirect sign of an anastomotic leak even in a negative CT scan.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Kidney transplants with multiple renal arteries (MRAs) address donor shortages but carry higher vascular risks than single renal arteries. This study aimed to evaluate how different anastomosis techniques affect outcomes in kidney transplants with MRAs through meta-analysis and systematic review, concluding the continuous discussion about the best reconstructive strategy. METHODS A comprehensive search across 5 databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) was conducted until December 17, 2024, to find studies comparing anastomoses technique in MRA grafts. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager software version 5.4, generating pooled effect estimates for mean difference (MD) and risk ratio (RR), two-sided p-values, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Two retrospective cohort studies were included in the meta-analysis. There was no significant difference between end-to-side and side-to-side anastomosis in warm ischemia time (MD = 15.64, 95% CI: −6.82−38.10, p = 0.17) or cold ischemia time (MD = −16.74, 95% CI: −105.61−72.14, p = 0.71). The complication rate showed no significant variation between side-to-side and end-to-side anastomosis (RR = 2.38, 95% CI: 0.41−13.70, p = 0.33). Meta-analysis on graft function and rejection was impossible due to differences in measurements and the small number of studies. CONCLUSIONS Different anastomosis techniques for MRA grafts did not result in longer ischemia times or higher complication rates. Graft function and rejection rates were comparable between side-to-side and end-to-side anastomosis, suggesting both were equally feasible for renal transplants with MRAs. Further studies are required to verify these findings.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is linked to lower vitamin D levels and altered immune responses, though unclear mechanisms. This study aimed to identify the effect of vitamin D on the balance between interleukin (IL)-10/IL-17A in women with RPL. METHODS This case-control study was conducted at the Bint Al-Huda Teaching Hospital, Thi-Qar Governorate, Iraq, from August 2022 to March 2023. Three study groups were included: RPL (47 women), non-aborted pregnant (40 women), and control (38 women). The sera concentrations of IL-17A, vitamin D, and IL-10 had been quantitatively detected using ELISA. SPSS was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Women with RPL had significantly lower vitamin D levels (19.6 ng/ml) and higher IL-17A levels (35.66 ng/l) than the non-aborted pregnant (23.46 ng/ml, 24.04 ng/l) and control groups (25.69 ng/ml, 19.87 ng/l). IL-10 levels were substantially depleted in the RPL group (3.96 pg/ml), leading to a statistically lower IL-10/IL-17A ratio (0.19) than in the non-aborted pregnant (0.58) and control (1.60) groups. Regression analysis revealed a valuable positive association between vitamin D and IL-17A in all groups and between vitamin D and IL-10/IL-17A ratio in RPL and control groups. Vitamin D was also significantly associated with IL-10 in the non-aborted pregnant group. However, no statistical relationship was reported between vitamin D and IL-10 levels in the RPL and control groups. CONCLUSIONS Increased IL-17A and decreased IL-10 contributed to unexplained RPL. The IL-10/IL-17A ratio predicted endometrial function, and vitamin D affects these cytokines, potentially reducing inflammation.
