Serotype distribution and antimicrobial profile of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the primary causes of community-acquired pneumonia. The vaccine serotypes were dominant and could be isolated in 14% of adult patients, with serotype 3 being the most predominant (25%), followed by 6A, 6B, and 7F. Approximately, 44% of the isolates showed resistance to tetracycline.

Adenocarcinoma of the lung with positive epidermal growth factor receptor mutation in pregnancy.

Lung cancer during pregnancy is a rare condition. We report a case of 28-year-old nonsmoker female, who was admitted to our hospital with massive left pleural effusion in the 21st week of gestation. Chest radiograph showed total left hemithorax opacity with contralateral mediastinal deviation.

Body mass index predictive of sputum culture conversion among MDR-TB patients in Indonesia.

Setting: Programmatic management of drug-resistant tuberculosis at Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Objective: To evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and sputum culture conversion during treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 212 MDR-TB patients.

Nonlinear SSVEP responses are sensitive to the perceptual binding of visual hemifields during conventional 'eye' rivalry and interocular 'percept' rivalry.

We conducted behavioral and EEG experiments to identify physiological correlates of perceptual binding during two types of binocular rivalry: (1) conventional 'eye' rivalry where perception alternates between the two monocular images presented one to each eye and (2) interocular 'percept' rivalry, where perception alternates between percepts formed by grouping complementary hemifields one from each eye. We employed 'frequency-tagging' by flickering a grating in each hemifield of each eye at different frequencies to elicit SSVEP responses specific to each hemifield of each eye. When the gratings in complementary visual fields of the two eyes were congruent in color and orientation, robust interocular 'percept' rivalry was observed with roughly equal probability to conventional 'eye' rivalry.
