Abstract

Background: Photoaging is premature skin aging caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme that can reduce pigmentation. Microneedling procedure can improve the penetration of topical vitamin C, and it has skin rejuvenating effects to reduce wrinkles and minimize pore size. Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of topical vitamin C application after microneedling intervention for the clinical improvement of photoaging. Methods: Twenty-four women with photoaged skin participated in this randomization study, and they were divided into control and intervention groups. Solution of 0.9% NaCl and microneedling were performed to control group, and topical vitamin C and microneedling were performed to intervention group. Three intervention sessions were repeated at a 2 week interval. Signs of photoaging such as pigmentation, wrinkles, and pores were evaluated using Metis DBQ3-1, and the data were obtained numerically. Result: The data analysis revealed a significant improvement in pigmentation in the intervention group compared to control group (p<0.05). Wrinkles and pores evaluation revealed no significant difference between the control and intervention groups. Conclusion: Topical vitamin C after microneedling procedure has provided a significant improvement in pigmentation compared to NaCl 0.9% after microneedling.

Abstract

Background: Lipschutz ulcer, also known as vulvae acutum ulcer, is an acute ulcer in the vulva. The aetiology and pathogenesis of Lipschutz ulcer are unclear, but it is known to be associated with infectious diseases such as Mycoplasma infection, paratyphoid fever, influenza A, and most infections with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This ulcer appears in adolescent females aged 14–20 years old, with 70% of cases occurring in virgin women. Purpose: To review the causes of non-Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) ulcers, so clinicians can establish an accurate diagnosis and rational therapy; therefore, minimizing the psychological impact on the patient due to possible misdiagnosis of STD-induced ulcer. Case: A painful wound in the genital area of a 20-year-old virgin woman. She was diagnosed with Lipshutz ulcer and vulvovaginal candidiasis based on the anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory examination obtained from vaginal discharge using potassium hydroxide, Gram staining, and blood test to exclude genital ulcer caused by the sexually transmitted agent. A blood test was taken, including the serological tests for syphilis and genital herpes. Tests for EBV were also performed. The patient was treated only with single-dose fluconazole 150 mg orally and saline compress on the ulcer. Genital ulcer and vaginal discharge improved one week after treatment. Discussion:  Lipshutz ulcer management is symptomatic, usually self-limiting, and disappears spontaneously within 1–2 weeks without recurrences. It can also occur as a single lesion with possible coinfection of other agents, for example, candidiasis, which in this case, requires treatment of comorbidities. Hygiene factors play an essential role in preventing occurrence of the secondary infection and further development of the disease. Conclusion: The diagnosis of Lipshutz ulcer is mainly based on clinical manifestation after excluding several possible ulcers that can affect the genital area, including sexually transmitted infections.

Abstract

Background: The most common opportunistic infection obtained in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is Oral Candidiasis (OC). Currently widely reported about increased fluconazole resistance, as a therapy that is often used in patients with HIV/AIDS with OC. For this reason, effective antifungal agents are needed as alternative therapies. Several studies have reported some antifungal activity from rosemary essential oils. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antifungal activity between rosemary essential oils and fluconazole against the isolates used by Candida sp. taken from HIV / AIDS patients with OC. Methods: This research was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test only design of 40 Candida sp. isolates from HIV / AIDS patients with OC in the Outpatient Unit and Inpatient Installation of the Infectious Disease Intermediate Care Unit (UPIPI) Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital, Surabaya. Examination of antifungal activity using conventional test methods with disk diffusion. Result: Disk diffusion test result revealed average inhibition zone of rosemary essential oil in Candida albicans 1,75±3,64 mm and Candida non-albicans 1,5±3,08 mm, while the average inhibition zone of fluconazole in Candida albicans 17,9±8,62 mm and Candida non-albicans 4,85±7,9 mm. There was significant difference (p <0.001) between the inhibition zone formed in Candida albicans by fluconazole and rosemary essential oil, but no significant difference of inhibition zone formed in Candida non-albicans. Conclusion: Antifungal activity fluconazole has greater than Rosemary essential oils in Candida albicans.

Abstract

Background: Xanthelasma is an abnormal lipid deposition on palpebrae, which is observable as yellowish plaque or nodules. Its incidence is 0.56–1.5% with onset of 15–73 years old and mostly occurs in the fourth and fifth decade. Few reports of xanthelasma did not cover the correlation between lipid profile and xanthelasma in Indonesia. Purpose: To find a correlation between lipid profile with xanthelasma in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. Methods: This was an analytic cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling. There were 36 participants (18 xanthelasma and 18 control). Result: The highest age group was >36 - ≤45 years old (38.89%). More cases were observed in female (66.67%). Body mass index examination of xanthelasma revealed that most were overweight (55.56%). Grade I xanthelasma was the most common (72.22%). The cholesterol serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than the subject controls (224.61±29.77 mg/dl versus­ 169.39±35.84 mg/dl) (p<0,05). The High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)  serum level of xanthelasma patients was lower than controls (46.44±14.19 mg/dl versus 51.78±15.9 mg/dl) (p>0,05). The Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than control (139.39±29.73 mg/dl versus 106.50±35.43 mg/dl) (p<0,05). Triglyceride serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than the controls (167.83±87.26 mg/dl versus 121.61±54.52 mg/dl) (p>0,05). Conclusion: There was a correlation between higher cholesterol and LDL serum level with xanthelasma. No correlation between lower HDL and a higher triglyceride serum level with xanthelasma.

Abstract

Background: The damage of the peripheral nerves that occurs in Morbus Hansen (MH) patients can cause disability due to loss of sensory, motor and autonomic functions can cause wounds, infections, ulcers and disability. Ulcers are the most common cause of disability complications in MH patients and requires a certain time of healing. As many as 10-20% of MH patients experience ulcers on the soles. Tea Tree Oil (TTO) is extracted from steam distillation of the leaves and twigs of the Australian native shrub Melaleuca Alternifolia. In ulcers, TTO can work as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. TTO preparation in the form of hydrogel is believed to help the wound healing process. Purpose: To investigate the effect of TTO hydrogel 5% on the healing of Chronic Plantar Ulcer of Leprosy (CPUL). Methods: Tea tree oil hydrogel 5% was applied every 3 days for up to 8 weeks in 22 subjects with chronic MH plantar ulcers. Ulcer size, side effects, and possible side effects are evaluated weekly. Result: There were significant clinical and statistical differences in ulcer size (p = 0.000) and in ulcer depth (p = 0.000) after TTO hydrogel 5%. No side effects occurred in this study. The ulcer healed was 59%, the ulcer improved by 36.4%, the persistent ulcer was 4.6%, and there was no ulcer that got worse. Conclusion: TTO hydrogel 5% is effective in the healing process of chronic MH plantar pedis ulcers.

Abstract

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a clinical syndrome caused by the changing of Lactobacillus spp., a producer of hydrogen peroxide, in the normal vagina with a high concentration of anaerobic bacteria, Gardnerella vaginalis and Mycoplasma hominis. This study reports a resistance of BV therapy regimens, high recurrence rates, and side effects of an antibiotic. Therefore, adjunctive therapy for BV management is needed. Research has reported the therapeutic effects of probiotic in BV; however, the results are inconsistent. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of standard therapy using metronidazole and Lactobacillus plantarum for BV measured by the cure rate and vaginal flora balance. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 30 subjects were randomized to take metronidazole 500 mg twice a day for seven days with weekly evaluation. The Lactobacillus plantarum or placebo group was evaluated every 4 weeks. The cure rate and vaginal flora balance were evaluated using the Amsel criteria and Nugent score before and after the intervention. Result: A total of 30 subjects returned for 28-day follow-up, of which 60% subjects of the antibiotic/probiotic group were cured compared to 40% in the antibiotic/placebo group (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no difference in the increase of cure rate and vaginal flora balance between the treatment group and significant control group.

Abstract

Background: Gonorrhea refers to a set of clinical conditions involving infection with the sexually acquired bacterial pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. One of the simplest gonococcal infections in women involves mucosal surfaces of the endocervix that cause cervicitis, a frequently asymptomatic inflammatory condition that results in an abnormal mucopurulent discharge and cervical friability. Purpose: To report a case of cervicitis gonorrhea in a female patient whose sexual partner had a hisstory of unprotected promiscuous intercource with multiple sex worker. Case: A 24-year-old female patient presented with increased vaginal discharge for 4 days. Her husband had a history of having sexual intercourse with a sex worker 8 days before. Physical examination revealed mucopurulent exudate in the genitalia and endocervical canal. The Gram staining showed numerous leucocytes and Gram-negative intracellular diplococci, while the result of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) examination for Chlamydia trachomatis was negative. The patient was treated with single-dose cefixime 400 mg orally and doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days. Discussion: The present case report showed cervicitis gonorrhea co-infected with a nonspecific genital infection that was felt asymptomatic and unintentionally found when the patient accompanied her husband to Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) clinic. The presumptive treatment of cervicitis directed against N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis in this patient leads to a complete cure of the disease. Conclusion: It is important to treat the sexual partner of a patient with urethritis gonorrhea. The empiric treatment of cervicitis that is directed against N. gonorrhoeae and also against C. trachomatis is mandatory in preventing further possible complications.

Abstract

Background: Male androgenetic alopecia (MAGA), also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common hair loss in males who have a genetic predisposition. The pattern of baldness in MAGA starts from the frontal area in a triangular pattern, followed by progressive thinning of the vertex until baldness occurs. Generally, the diagnosis of MAGA is established by clinical examination. FDA has approved a combination of topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for MAGA treatment. Currently, there is another treatment option like dutasteride, a prostaglandin analog, ketoconazole, and co-adjuvant therapy like laser therapy, hair transplantation, and so on. Purpose: To provide an updated treatment for MAGA. Review: Etiopathogenesis of MAGA is influenced by genetic susceptibility and hormonal factors. The European Consensus Group set the evaluation diagnosis of MAGA to include a historyof hair fall, physical examination, hair examination, supporting examination, and clinical documentation. There are therapeutic options for MAGA, including antiandrogen therapies, androgen-independent therapies, and co-adjuvant therapies. The FDA has approved a combination of topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for MAGA treatment. MAGA may affect patients’ quality of life and self-esteem. In general, patients expect higher. Conclusion: MAGA is the most common progressive hair loss in males. The MAGA therapy is expected to achieve cosmetically significant regrowth and to slow additional hair loss.

Abstract

Background: Pityriasis Versicolor (PV) is a fungal infection of the skin, caused by the Malassezia sp., a genus of fungi. Patients commonly present with bordered skin patches of white, grey, and sometimes brown on their skin surface. The prominent changing of skin colour in exposed areas of the skin may cause feelings of insecurity to the patients and become limelight for other people, impacting their self esteem. Purpose: To evaluate the self esteem profile in PV patients at the dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital Surabaya. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study based on medical records of the dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital Surabaya. The data were collected from June 2018 to May 2019. This research evaluates PV patients's profiles by age, sex, education level, occupation, residential environment, site of infection, duration of the infection, and self esteem. The patient's self esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES). Result: Fiftythree PV patient’s self esteem values were successfully recorded. Of the 53 patients, the score was low in 3 people (5.67%), the normal score in 50 people (94.33%), and no one had a high score. Of the 3 people with low self esteem scores, 2 of them were men, consisting of 1 teenager and 2 adults, having basic education levels, who were students and housewives. The three patients had the infection for more than 3 months and they resided in Tambaksari, Wonocolo, and outside Surabaya. Conclusion: The majority of PV patients at the dermato-venereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital have normal self esteem scores.
