Abstract

Abstract: Cervical cancer is a gynecologic disease that has a high level of malignancy and is a major cause of death from cancer in women. To be used as educational material for patients with cervical carcinoma when if there is known outcome of radical hysterectomy in patients with IB-IIA cervical carcinoma, it can be used as a basic data to know the success rate of radical hysterectomy.The sample was collected by consecutive sampling and we found a total of 55 IB-IIA cervical carcinoma patients who underwent a radical hysterectomy. The samples that met the inclusion criteria are 30 people. Data analysis using Chi-square/Fisher method (significant p-value <0.05).In this study, 16.7% of patients with cervical carcinoma from IB to IIA died in 3 years after radical hysterectomy was performed. The average age of patients with stage IB to IIA cervical carcinoma was 48.03 ± 12.21 years with ages ranging from 23 to 78 years. Stage IIA is 16 times more significantly at risk for mortality in cervical carcinoma patients than stage IB. The 3-year survival rate for patients with stage IB to IIA cervical carcinoma after radical hysterectomy was 83.3% with an average life span of 32.8 months. Patients with stage IB to IIA cervical carcinoma after radical hysterectomy have an average disease-free interval (DFI) of 33.0 ± 5.74 months. Keywords: Cervical Cancer, Radical Hysterectomy, Survival Rate

Abstract

Abstract: Superficial dermatomycosis is a skin, nail and hair infection caused by fungal pathogen. Based on the pathogen, this infection can be divided into dermatophytosis, pityriasis versicolor and superficial candidiasis. The rapid and proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the initial theraphy and prevent the treatment delay. Superficial dermatomycosis diagnosis can be performed using anamnesis, physical examination or supporting investigation. The routine investigation method commonly use Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) because the KOH method is easy to be performed, rapid, simple and affordable. Chicago Sky Blue (CSB) is a dye to give a better color contrast to the fungi so the fungi would be easier to be detected. Objectives of this research is to observe the sensitivity and specifity difference of Chicago Sky Blue (CSB) dye and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) methods for Superficial Dermatomycosis. The research was performed using cross sectional design analitical obsevation with 30 research subjects. The subjects consist of 15 superficial dermatomycosis patients and 15 non-superficial dermatomycosis patients. The samples were taken from the patients lesion swabs. The samples were checked using KOH and CSB, then observed by the medical analyst. The superficial dermatomycosis samples consist of mostly dermathophytosis (53.33%), then pityriasis versicolor (26.67%) and superficial candidiasis (20%). The sensitivity and specificity of KOH were 86.67% and 100%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of CSB were 93.33% and 100%, respectively. The CSB dye method has a higher sensitivity than KOH. The fungal elements are nicely dyed and more easily detected using CSB dye.  Keywords: KOH, Chicago Sky Blue, sensitivity, specificity, superficial dermatomycosis

Abstract

Abstract: As a cardiovascular disease, heart failure is one of prime mortality cause in the world. Coronary heart disease has a role in development of heart failure so that it becomes one of heart failure’s major clinical risk factor. This study aimed to calculate the prevalence of and identify the factors that influence coronary heart disease status of heart failure patients at Alamanda ward of RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin in 2016. Factors that were studied consisted of age, sex, family history of heart disease, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. This study used analytical observation with cross-sectional approach on medical records that were obtained by purposive sampling method. The result showed 46.4% of 263 heart failure patients had coronary heart disease status. Multivariate analysis inferred hypertension as the factor that influences the coronary heart disease status of heart failure patients (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.06 – 3.71, P = 0.033). Keywords: cardiovascular disease, heart failure, coronary heart disease, hypertension

Abstract

Abstract: Ball bearing (BB) and pellet guns are non-power guns but their related injuries have been reported worldwide. They represent a significant cause of injury especially among children and teenagers. Their potentially harmful and lethal effects have been well documented in the medical literature since the early 1980s. Fatality rate is closely related to the damaged part of the brain and the level of the damage. In this Case Report we documented a 6-years-old girl was getting shot at the head by herself, who initially want to play around, using her neighbour’s Air gun rifle. The pellet trajectory passed through the left frontal lobe, left temporal lobe, left posterior putamen, posteriorly left crus posterior of internal capsule, left occipital horn of lateral ventricle, left occipital lobe, and ended at left cerebral falx between both medial surfaces of occipital lobes. Directional slope of the pellet was medially upward, with its tracking left Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) with perifocal edema and Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH) dominant in the left lateral ventricle. After 8 days management, the patient was discharged from our hospital with stable condition, GCS 15 without any significant neurological deficits. Intracranial intracerebral pellet due to air gun shot injury, may have fatal and lethal manifestation if the pellet damage the eloquent area and/or deep area of the brain (hypothalamus, thalamus and brain stem). If accessible the foreign body or pellet should be removed immediately for better outcome. Keywords: Head Injury, Air Gun Shot, Intracerebral Haemorrhage

Abstract

Abstract: Musculoskeletal tumors are relatively rare, with 0.2%-0.5% of all malignant tumors in all ages. The geographic distribution of musculoskeletal tumors varies significantly around the world. This study aims to describe the musculoskeletal tumor profile in Saiful Anwar General Hospital. All data were obtained from the department of orthopaedic and traumatology database, Saiful Anwar general hospital. Thus, patients who were diagnosed with either bone tumor or soft tissue tumor between January 2011 to December 2018 were selected for the present study. The clinical-pathological conference (CPC) was carried out to ensure the validity of all the registered data. A total of 577 patients with tumors from January 2011 to December 2018 was obtained. Out of all the cases, 439 (76%) cases are bone tumors, and the remaining 138 (24%) cases are soft tissue tumors. The most frequent locations of the musculoskeletal tumors are the long bones of the thigh and lower leg. This study shows an increasing trend in musculoskeletal tumors incidence, despite decreasing numbers in several years. This result goes along with a rising trend in malignancy cases with a higher amount compared to the benign one. Moreover, MBD and osteosarcoma were found to be the most common tumor and primary bone tumors, respectively. However, the fact that there is some data loss in the study limited the study for a more accurate result.   Keywords: Musculoskeletal tumor; Bone tumor; Osteosarcoma; Malang; East Java

Abstract

Abstract: The aging process is a natural event that cannot be avoided. Especially in the elderly, this is accompanied by a decrease in episodic memory function, which can reduce the quality of life. Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain cognitive function in elderly, one of which is through routine cognitive activities such as reading which can affect memory function in elderly through neuroplasticity. This study aims to determine the effect of reading activity on episodic memory function in the elderly. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test control group design method. The total research subject were 30 people in Desa Demangan Siman, Kabupaten Ponorogo and Kelurahan Ngadirejo, Kota Kediri, with a sample technique using random purposive sampling. The research subjects were then divided into 3 groups with random allocation techniques using microsoft excel. Group 1 was the control group, group 2 was the 15-minute reading aloud intervention group, and group 3 was the 30-minute reading aloud intervention group. The results of the Dependent T-test showed that there was a significant difference in mean scores between the pre-test and post-test scores in group 2 (p = 0.000) and group 3 (p = 0.000), but not significant in group 1 (p = 0.111). The One Way ANOVA test results showed a significant difference in post-test scores in the three groups (p = 0.043), and the Post-hoc LSD test found a significant difference in scores between the post-test scores in group 1 with group 2 (p = 0.025) and group 1 with group 3 (p = 0.034), but there was no significant difference between the post-test scores in group 2 with group 3 (p = 0.883). It can be concluded, there is a significant effect between the duration of reading activity and episodic memory function in the elderly. Keywords: aging, elderly, episodic memory, reading, neuroplasticity.

Abstract

Abstract: One of the most widely used anticoagulants for a complete blood count is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).  Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) may be caused by EDTA, this condition may lead to inappropriate diagnosis and treatment. We report a 25-year-old female with unspecific headache and joint pain with very low platelet count since 1 month before hospital admission. She was diagnosed with Dengue fever infection and got some platelet transfusion from the previous secondary hospital. She was carried out for a blood test with another anticoagulant (sodium citrate) and bone marrow aspiration. The results showed that she had normal platelet count and bone marrow cellularity. When a patient was identified with thrombocytopenia without any bleeding manifestation, hematology disease, and family history, PTCP should be taken into consideration to prevent unnecessary intervention. Keywords: platelet, pseudothrombocytopenia, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Dengue fever

Abstract

Abstract: Lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis become a global problem in the world. The similarities of clinical symptoms and radiological appearances often complicates diagnosis especially in TB endemic countries. A 43-year-old man presented with shortness of breath for 6 months, accompanied by intermittent cough mixed with blood streaks. He had been taking anti-tuberculosis for 2 months, but there’s no improvement. On physical examination, ronchi were heard in the lower 2/3 of the right lung and heart sounds diminished. Motoric movement of the left hand was difficult to grasp hard. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the head revealed hyperdense multiple nodules. Chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly with right lung consolidation and a primary malignant right lung mass accompanied by pericardial effusion at thoracic CT scan. Cytology and EGFR examination of pericardial effusion found adenocarcinoma metastasis with exon 18 and 21 mutations. Evaluation of clinical symptoms and radiological examination during tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy showed improvement. Lung cancer can resemble pulmonary tuberculosis in various manifestations. Adenocarcinoma with positive EGFR mutations is more commonly found in Asians. Cytology and EGFR examination of pericardial effusion became the basis of diagnosis in this case. He was given TKI therapy. Re-evaluation must be carried out in patients who do not improve with antibiotics or anti-tuberculosis. Patient reported a good response after consuming EGFR-TKI. Keywords: lung cancer, tuberculosis, tyrosine kinase inhibitors
