Abstract

Background: Skin tumors are swellings caused by proliferation or failure of cell death mechanisms. Based on the type of growth, skin tumors are divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Purpose: To investigate the incidence of skin tumors in Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital outpatient clinic. Methods: This study is a descriptive study with  total sampling. The diagnosis of skin tumors is assessed based on medical records filled by Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Dermatovenerologist in January 2017-September 2021. Result: The results showed patients diagnosed with benign skin tumors had as many as 360 subjects and malignant tumors had as many as 4 samples. The majority of women are affected by benign and malignant skin tumors. Based on the age of benign tumors dominated by the age of 22-45 years while in malignant tumors dominated by 45-64 years.  The majority of the sample comes from Banda Aceh, based on where the most of them reside. Based on the size of lesions, benign tumors are dominated by lesions that are less than 0.5 cm in size, while malignant tumors are dominated by lesions that are larger than 0.5 cm in size. Based on the presence and absence of recursion the entire dominant sample has no recursion. Based on the physical treatment in benign tumors are dominated by electrocautery action while malignant tumors are the same number between general surgery and FNAB. Conclusion: most of the skin tumors found in Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital dermatology and venerology outpatient clinic are benign

Abstract

Background: Vitiligo is a depigmentation disorder characterized by the progressive loss of melanocytes from the epidermis and hair follicles. Vitiligo affects all age groups and is defined by acquired, idiopathic, progressive, different-sized, circumscribed, milky white depigmentation. Characteristics and clinical patterns of vitiligo will also help to understand the pathogenesis of the disease. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the characteristics profile and clinical features of vitiligo patients. Methods: The research material was taken from the medical record of vitiligo patients in the Division of Cosmetics Outpatient Clinic Dermatovenerelogy Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from 2018-2020. Result: This study was obtained by a number of new vitiligo patients 115 (0.3%) of the total number of new outpatient clinic visits of Dermatovenereology Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. The majority of the gender is female (53.9%), late adolescence (26.96%), students (25.22%), and the onset of vitiligo 1-5 years (30.43%). The most common risk factors were idiopathic (51.3%) and clinical types are non-segmental vitiligo (53.04%). Conclusion: Vitiligo predominantly affects in females with active age groups of 17-25 years old, and students.

Abstract

Background: After a history of exposure to the suspected material and a thorough physical examination, the diagnosis of occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is commonly suspected. During the initial consultation, essential information involving the above is frequently neglected. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical manifestations of OCD cases in health workers and analyze the factors that influence OCD cases in health workers at the isolation ward of Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The sample selection was done through purposive sampling. Accessible population that met the inclusion criteria and did not have exclusion criteria were included as research samples. The target population was healthcare workers in the Special Isolation Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The accessible population was healthcare workers who performed hand hygiene activities and used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the Special Isolation Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The research subjects were healthcare workers who worked in the Special Isolation Ward. Result: The research results showed a strong and significant correlation between atopic history and the occurrence of contact dermatitis due to poor skin barrier function and decreased tolerance. The study also found that there was no significant correlation between atopic history and the severity level of OCD. There was a significant difference in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values in the lesion and non-lesion areas, both on the palmar and dorsal aspects of the hand. Moisturizer is an important component in managing hand dermatitis as it can repair and maintain the skin's protective barrier. Conclusion:

Abstract

Background: Skin aging is a degenerative process that involves a decrease in the structure and function of skin cells and theextracellular matrix due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Chemical peeling is one of the skin aging treatments that involvesskin ablation using chemical agents. Purpose: To evaluate the profile of skin-aging patients treated with chemical peeling atthe Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Unit of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from January throughDecember 2019. Methods: The data were obtained from patients' medical records through a total sampling technique, whichconsisted of age, gender, occupation, history taking, physical examination, diagnosis, therapeutic agents, follow-up frequency,and therapeutic result. Result: The study included 37 patients, the majority of whom were between the ages of 46 and 55(35.1%), female (100%), and private employees (32.4%). In history taking, patients' main complaint is dull skin (94.6%), withthe risk factor of sun exposure (97.3%) and the history of sunscreen usage (81.1%). Pigmentary changes were found in allpatients (100%). The most common diagnoses are photoaging Glogau II and Glogau III, found in 15 patients (40.5%),respectively. The common priming agents were sunscreen (97.3%), cleanser (94.6%), and 8% glycolic acid (75.7%). Themajority of patients (62.2%) received 20% glycolic acid as a peeling agent and sunscreen (86.5%) as a post-peeling agent.The majority of patients (43.2%) did not follow up. Glogau II photoaging (57.1%) was the main therapeutic result.Conclusion: Proper chemical peeling procedures and patients compliance are important factors to improve therapeuticoutcomes.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris can be diagnosed clinically. A biopsy is usually used to confirm non-classic cases. The findings of the histopathology feature are not usually present, thus clinical relevance is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Purpose: To describe the histopathology findings from tissue samples of histopathologically confirmed psoriasis vulgaris reported in the Department of Pathology and Anatomy of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Methods: A descriptive-retrospective study of pathology-ascertained tissue samples of histopathologically confirmed psoriasis vulgaris was reported in the Department of Pathology and Anatomy from patients who were also previously diagnosed clinically with psoriasis vulgaris in the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Unit of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital over a period of 2 years. Morphological parameters were observed after histopathology sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Result: Thirty-three tissue samples were examined. Parakeratosis (86%) and hypogranulosis (70.3%) were the most observed findings. Club-shaped rete ridges, suprapapillary plate thinning, and spongiform pustules of Kogoj were the least observed findings (each by 2.7%). Three tissue samples (8.1%) showed only parakeratosis. Only 1 tissue sample (2.7%) showed 4 features (absence of the granular layer, parakeratosis, microabscess of Munro, and spongiform pustules of Kogoj). No tissue sample showed every histopathology finding of psoriasis vulgaris. Conclusion: All of the histopathology features of psoriasis vulgaris are rarely found in one tissue section. Albeit histopathology is believed to be the gold standard diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris, relevance with clinical findings is still mandatory to support the diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Wounds that have lasted a long time due to failure to continue the normal healing process can be called chronic wounds. Chronic wounds occur due to multiple factors. There are problems that are often found in chronic wounds, such as the presence of exudate, necrotic tissue, and bacteria. The incidence of chronic wounds is closely related to the high cost of treatment and impaired quality of life. Prompt wound management is needed to optimize wound healing. Purpose: To determine the profile of chronic wounds in patients treated by the Department of Plastic Surgery Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from 2015 – 2020. Methods: The data were obtained from patients medical records through total sampling technique, which consist of age,   gender, past medical history, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and outcome. Result: This study involved 53 patients, dominated by male patients (70%) aged 46-65 years old (34%). The patient's history showed that most patients suffered from type 2 diabetes (22%). The problem that often occurs is the presence of exudate which is mostly diagnosed with pressure ulcers (40%). All patient get wound bed preparation and the patient's outcome was dominated by recovery (72%). Conclusion: There are several factors affecting wound healing and prompt wound management are important to improving the outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Vitiligo is an idiopathic disease with a prevalence of 0.5-2% worldwide that causes the loss of melanocyte cells from parts of the body and is characterized by the appearance of well-defined white macules. The pathogenesis of vitiligo is suspected to originate from genetic, non-genetic, and autoimmune factors. Currently, Narrowband Ultraviolet-B (NB-UVB) is the first-line phototherapy treatment to treat vitiligo. Purpose: To evaluate the profile of vitiligo patients who were given phototherapy at the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital for the period January-December 2019. Methods: This study used a retrospective descriptive research design with descriptive statistical methods. In this study, the medical records were evaluated by recording the patient's age, gender, occupation, history of illness, family history, and results of a physical examination. Result: This study obtained 31 samples that received phototherapy dominated by the age range of 17-25 years (29%) and male gender (55%), with a ratio of 1:0.82 to women. The majority work as others (68%). The most common trigger factor was emotional stress (29%). According to physical examination, the majority of patients had multiple lesions (81%), were not widely available (58%), and were of the generalized type (52%). Conclusion: It can be evaluated from the most data obtained: 17-25 years old (29%), male gender (55%), other occupations (68%), emotional stress triggers (29%), multiple lesions (81%), unavailable lesion area (58%), and generalized type (52%), describe the profile of vitiligo patients in Dr. Seotomo General Academic Hospital in 2019.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Lasers are one of the most important treatment modalities in dermatology. Lasers interact with chromophores through several mechanisms that depend on fluence and pulse durations. Early lasers worked by photothermal interaction with pulse durations of 1 microsecond to 1 second. A picosecond laser is developed to confine photothermal effects and produce photomechanical effects and plasma induction. Purpose: To understand the mechanism of action and application of picosecond lasers for dermatological disorders. Review: Non-fractional picosecond lasers work by photomechanical interaction. Photomechanical interaction happens when pulse duration is less than inertial confinement time, causing fractures of chromophores with lower energy, or "cold ablation”. Fractional picosecond lasers work by laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB). In LIOB, accelerated seed electrons cause an electron avalanche that produce a collection of free electrons called plasma, which ablates tissues. LIOB in the skin is always followed by photodisruption. In LIOB, vacuoles and debris were eliminated transdermally and dermal collagen and elastin increased. Picosecond laser may be applied in disorders requiring destruction of chromophores and for collagen and elastin disorders. It is currently the first-line treatment for tattoo removal (Nevus of Ota and Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-like macules, or ABNOM). It has good efficacy and safety for solar lentigines, freckles, and cafe-au-lait macules (CALM). It is an additional treatment for moderate to severe melasma and hypertrophic scars, in combination with other treatments. The fractional picosecond laser showed moderate improvement and low risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) for atrophic acne scars and produced improvement in striae alba.

Abstract

Background: Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most prevalent benign tumors in children, predominantly in girls. Most IH cases do not require treatment due to spontaneous involution, but 10% of cases do require early treatment due to size, location, and complications. Purpose: This study tried to define the profile, clinical aspects, and therapy of IH in Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. Methods: A descriptive approach using a retrospective analysis employing secondary data from the outpatient clinic's patient registration book. This study included all new cases of infantile hemangioma at the outpatient clinic general hospital between 2013 and 2021. Result: A total of 105 patients were involved in this study. The majority of IH patients (59%) were under the age of one year, with 64 female patients (61%) making the most visits to the pediatric clinic in 2017, 2018, and 2019 (77.1%). The most prevalent clinical features of skin lesions were nodules in 69 individuals (65.7%), and the most common site was the facial region (13.3%) in 44 patients. In 20 individuals, a combination of propanolol and oral corticosteroids was used as the most effective treatment strategy (19% ). Conclusion: Infantile hemangiomas is the most frequently reported benign tumor in children. Females are more likely than males to develop IH. The majority of IH is minor and normally resolves on its own without therapy. However, certain rare kinds of IH require clinician attention and systematic treatment.

Abstract

Background: Skin tags or acrochordons are benign fibroepithelioma skin tumors with soft consistency, usually pedunculated, primarily originating from the dermis. High levels of blood sugar and a high lipid profile are risk factors for inflammation and hormonal imbalance, which can contribute to the development of skin tags. Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the association between blood sugar and lipid profile with skin tags. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted from April to August 2019 at the Dermatovenereology and Endocrine Policlinic, Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. The sampling method of this study was consecutive sampling with 60 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A blood glucose, lipid profile, and skin tag examination was conducted on all subjects. Result: The majority of the subjects are women (61.5%), have an average age of 41-50 years old (43.3%), are obese (41.7%), and have one to five lessions of 1-5 (53.3%). There was a significant correlation between blood glucose, 2 hours post-prandial, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels with skin tags with Spearman's correlation values of 0.645, 0.645, 0.794, 0.704, 0.606, and 0.606 consecutively. Conclusion: A high level of blood sugar and lipid profile, whether it is total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, or LDL level, can contribute to the development of skin tags.
