Frequent Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Correlated to Better Medication Adherence and Glycemic Control in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the most common chronic disease in children, with several severe short and long-term complications. Glycemic control is an important aspect of diabetes management with the most influential factor being compliance with self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG). Mostly, in Indonesia, the finger stick devices as a glucose monitoring tool were frequently used.

Surgery of Severe Cauliflower Ear Deformity.

A cauliflower ear is an auricular deformity characterized by thickened soft tissue and cartilage. A subperichondrial hematoma or fluid collection causes this malformation. As a result of being cut off from the perichondrium blood supply, the ear cartilage becomes ischemic, developing scar tissue, fibrous tissue, new cartilage overgrowth, or necrosis beneath the skin, resulting in a permanent alteration in the shape of the external ear resembling that of a cauliflower.

CT-Derived 3D Printing for Coronary Artery Cannulation Simulator Design Manufacturing.

Mastering coronary angiography requires practice. Cadavers and animals do not accurately represent the human anatomical body, and practicing with actual patients has medical safety issues. Simulation offers safe and realistic conditions for cardiology intervention training.

Simulation-based training using a novel Surabaya hysterectomy mannequin following video demonstration to improve abdominal hysterectomy skills of obstetrics and gynecology residents during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia: a pre- and post-intervention study.

Purpose: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the number of abdominal hysterectomy procedures decreased in Indonesia. The existing commercial abdominal hysterectomy simulation model is expensive and difficult to reuse. This study compared residents' abdominal hysterectomy skills after simulation-based training using the Surabaya hysterectomy mannequin following a video demonstration.

Obstetrics and gynecology residents' satisfaction and self-confidence after anal sphincter injury simulation-based workshop in Indonesia: a pre- and post-intervention comparison study.

Purpose: Obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is one of the most common complication during delivery. Simulation models using manikin can be used as an effective medical learning method to improve students' abilities before meeting patients. It aimed to describe the development of anal sphincter injury model and assess the resident satisfaction and self-confidence after perineal repair workshop with anal sphincter injury simulator in Indonesia.

A Case Report on Lateral Proboscis: A Rare Congenital Anomaly.

Lateral proboscis is a rare congenital condition characterized by a cylindrical protuberance on the nasofrontal region accompanied by abnormal nasal development on the affected side. We aimed to describe the management of the lateral proboscis in staged repair. A 7-year-old girl came with a tube-like projection on the left medial canthal region and nasal agenesis on the ipsilateral side.
