Abstract

Malaria remains a public health concern and remain the deadliest in infectious disease in the world. Cerebral malaria is a particularly severe complication of this disease and associated with high mortality. This literature review is made up from 19 literatures consisting of journals, and book. The literature review used data base www.pubmed.com, and www.scholar.google.com using “cerebral malaria and biomarker, predictor of cerebral malaria and treatment of severe malaria”. The languages for this journal are English and Indonesian. From the collection of literatures in this literature review, severe consists of cerebral malaria, blackwater fever, acute kidney injury, pulmonary edema, electrolyte disturbance, hematology disturbance, and obstetrics emergency resulting from malaria which is postpartum hemorrhage. Cerebral malaria increases the mortality of the patient, so they have to be diagnosed early and treated precisely. Patients with infection of plasmodium falciparum and GCS<11 must be suspected as cerebral malaria. Biomarker examination such as Soluble ICAM-1, Specific muscle’s protein, Angiopoetin-1 and 2, and Plasma microparticles is the most precise way to detect malarial emergency earlier Coma Acidosis Malaria score is also found to be useful in predicting the prognosis in cerebral malaria. Early diagnosis should be made as early as possible to reduce mortality from malaria and its emergencies.

Abstract

Background: Nocturia is a common urinary system disease. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the causes of nocturia in women Indonesian inhabitants aged≥ 40 years. Methods: A stratified sample strategy was used to conduct a randomized cross-sectional study on 562 residents under the age of 40 in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. A questionnaire was completed, which included socioeconomic demographics, lifestyle characteristics, and clinical history. Each night, nocturia was defined as at least two voids. The chi-squared test was used to determine proportional differences between age and gender groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess gender-related factors. This was determined that P0.05 was statistically significant. Results: Data on 562 people aged 61.60 + 9.81 years eligible for statistical analysis at the end, comprising 185 (32.92%) men and 377 (67.08%) women. Overall nocturia prevalence was 31.8% (179/562). It rose significantly with age (P<0.001) and reached >48% in those above the age of 70. In both men and women, nocturia was linked with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) (P0.05). There was no link discovered between nocturia and education, profession, civil status, BMI, female birth history, or the International Prostate Symptom Score. Conclusion: Nocturia is linked to aging, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, OABSS, and diabetes in Indonesians over the age of 40.

Abstract

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a rare immune mediated disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia in presence of onconeural antibodies which occurs due to an indirect effect of underlying malignancy i.e. small cell lung cancer (SCLC), breast and gynecologic cancer, and Hodgkin lymphoma. In about 50% of patients neurological manifestation of Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration occurs prior to detection of carcinoma. Anti-Yo Antibody is the commonest antibody present in patients with Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration which is associated with breast carcinoma. We describe 3 female patients with anti YO antibody mediated PCD with breast cancer. One patient had a previous diagnosis of breast cancer with post mastectomy status one year back. Two of them presented with ataxia and on further examination, breast lump was found. All three patients had symmetrical ataxia with one patient had severely debilitating ataxia and was not able to walk unassisted. Magnetic resonance imaging brain showed cerebellar atrophy in two patients while one patient had normal MRI. Anti- YO antibody was strongly positive in all the three patients. All patients were given immunotherapy (corticosteroids in 2, Intravenous immunoglobulin in 1) with 1 patient showed modest improvement These case highlights the need to consider for workup for paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration in female patients presenting with subacute to chronic progressive ataxia, so that the tumors can be detected and treated in early stage with a good outcome.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 pandemics have triggered mental health problems in various communities. Primary healthcare workers (PHCW), are at the frontline of COVID-19 crisis, having to deal with infected patients and their families. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Affective Behavioral Therapy (ABT) for the treatment and prevention of mental health disorders for PHCW.  Methods: PHCW from a primary care unit (PCU) were invited to participate in an ABT group. They answered the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) about how they felt before the sessions and after them. Results: 10 sessions were offered between April and June 2020 and 30 PHCW participated, 22 women and 08 men mean age was 36.8 (SD=9.7) years old. The average number of participants per session was 4.4 (SD=2.2). Pre- and post-intervention PHQ-4 scores showed significant improvement in total score (p < 0.001). Conclusion: PHCWs mental health is strategic for the management of the community during crises related to natural crises. The ABT was effective in supporting the mental health of PHCW during the COVID-19 epidemic. Future controlled studies must be conducted in order to further test its efficacy.  Keywords: COVID-19, mental health, primary care, therapeutic listening, occupational therapy, affective behavioral therapy

Abstract

Background: Homeopathy is applied as a supportive in the treatment of viral infections and in relieving their symptoms. Objective: To create an awareness that effective remedial results can be obtained by homeopathy in patients with loss of smell and taste in Coronavirus Disease 2019. Methods: A prospective, cohort and randomized study was conducted. The main inclusion criterion was the loss of smell and taste for at least one week. Homeopathic remedies were also applied as supportive therapy. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the loss of smell and taste perception before and after treatment. Results: A total of 30 patients, 32.17±10.25 years, were included in the study. The mean pre-treatment VAS-smell perception of the patients was 0.67±1.24, while the mean VAS-taste perception was 2.57±3.01. After the treatment, the mean of VAS-smell perception was 8.67±1.92, while the mean of VAS-taste increased to 9.43±1.22. There was a strong positive correlation between ΔVAS-smell perception and ΔVAS-taste perception (r: 0.563, p: 0.001). There was also a strong negative correlation between ΔVAS-taste perception and the level of ferritin (r: -0.552, p: 0.002). Conclusion: The present study on the effective improvement via homeopathy treatment in patients with loss of smell and taste in COVID-19 that “has spoiled the taste of life and living” should be supported by further studies.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing tremendously worldwide. Obesity is correlated with the consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Although the effect of MSG or HFD on inflammation has been established, lack of information about the effects of both combination on simultaneous systemic and brain inflammation that can be evaluated from cortisol serum and brain resistin level respectively. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of combining HFD and MSG on brain resistin, serum cortisol, lipid profiles, visceral weight, and body weight gain. Methods: Sixteen adult female rats were randomized into 4 groups consist of standard diet; HFD+MSG 0.05 mg/gBW, HFD+MSG 0.2 mg/gBW and HFD+MSG 0.35 mg/gBW. Lipid profiles were measured using automatic biochemical analyzer. Brain resistin and serum cortisol level were determined using enzyme-linked immunoassay. Results: The groups of HFD+MSG significantly have higher level of brain resistin (p<0.003), serum cortisol (p<0.01), total cholesterol (p<0.003) and visceral fat weight (p<0.05) than control group. Conclusion: The combination of HFD, and MSG generates obesity that led to systemic-brain alteration on inflammation.  Further study is necessary to evaluate further the functional impact of both combinations on behavioral profiles.

Abstract

Background: Neurodegenerative diseases are the main cause of morbidity and disability in the elderly. SIRT1 activation has been gaining popularity as novel treatment target. Cinnamon is known to possess neuroprotective abilities, however the mechanism in which it protects the brain is still limited. Objective: This research aimed to determine the interaction between several cinnamon active compounds with SIRT1 Methods: We used in-silico method to determine the molecular interactions between cinnamon main compounds as the ligands to target protein SIRT1. SIRT1 3D structure was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank and 4 ligands (Cinnamaldehyde, Caffeic Acid, Epicatechin, and Trigonelline) structures were obtained from PubChem web server, and we used Resveratrol as positive control ligand. SwissADME, Pyrx, Pymol, and Biovia Discovery Studio software were utilized in this research Results: All four ligands fulfilled Lipinski Rule of 5 criteria therefore they are suitable for oral administration. It was discovered in this study that epicathecin had higher binding affinity than the control ligand Resveratrol and interacted with SIRT1 in the similar amino acid residue as Resveratrol did. The binding pocket interaction between all ligands and SIRT1 are the same. Conclusion: Epicathecin, as one of the main cinnamon compounds, may possess neuroprotective properties by interacting with SIRT1. We pproposed that further research be implemented to investigate epicathecin biological effects on SIRT1 in vitro or in vivo.
