The incidence of and risk factors for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in preterm infants receiving early-aggressive parenteral nutrition.

Introduction: Optimizing nutritional support helps prevent extra uterine growth restriction and adverse long-term outcomes in preterm infants.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the incidence of and risk factors for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in preterm infants receiving early-aggressive parenteral nutrition (PN).

Methods: This prospective observational study included preterm infants receiving PN at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Dr.

Relationship between serum ferritin and growth status of pediatric transfusion dependent thalassemia.

Background: Growth retardation is a long-term complication in pediatric transfusion-dependent thalassemias (TDTs), presented as short-stature and upper body segment shortening. The cause of this condition was chronic hypoxia, iron overload, endocrinopathy, inadequate transfusion, and iron chelation. We analyze the relationship between ferritin level and growth status of pediatric TDTs.

METS-IR vs. HOMA-AD and Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Adolescents.

Purpose: Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation in which is the key in the pathogenesis Insulin Resistance (IR) and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) has been validated as a surrogate measure of IR. The combination of HOMA and adiponectin, known as HOMA-AD was proposed to measure IR in adults.

Levels of SARS-COV-2 anti-spike protein receptor-binding domain (S-RBD) IgG in Indonesian-vaccinated healthcare workers: experimental research.

Unlabelled: Studies evaluating the levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) anti-spike protein receptor-binding domain (S-RBD) immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in vaccinated healthcare workers in Indonesia are limited.

Objectives: Evaluating time-dependent levels of anti-IgG S-RBD antibodies and monitoring the response of healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Indonesia after vaccination.

Materials And Methods: This prospective cohort observational study was conducted from January to December 2021.

Role of Hemin in the Immune Response of T Follicular Helper Lymphocytes Expressing T-Cell Immunoreceptor with Immunoglobulin and Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-Based Inhibitory Domains, Programmed Cell Death-1, and Interleukin-21 in Allo-Auto Positive and Negative Thalassemia.

Introduction: Repeated transfusions in thalassemia patients can cause several complications, including alloimmunization and autoimmunization.

Purpose: This study compares the immune response of T follicular helper (Tfh) lymphocytes expressing T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory domains (TIGIT), programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), and interleukin-21 (IL-21) between patients with allo-auto positive and negative thalassemia before and after hemin administration.

Materials And Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design and was performed between April and November 2021 at the Dr.
