Placental Protein 13 and Syncytiotrophoblast Basement Membrane Ultrastructures in Preeclampsia.

: Preeclampsia has been linked to an inflammatory response that may be brought on by endothelial cell dysfunction. This paper investigates the pathomechanism of syncytiotrophoblast basement membrane (STBM) damage and Placental Protein 13 (PP13) release, which may have a role in systemic endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia. : This comparative cross-sectional study involves 54 preeclampsia patients (27 early-onset preeclampsia and 27 late-onset preeclampsia) and 27 pregnant women with normal blood pressure.

Posterior Annulus Elevation Technique in Reducing Residual Regurgitation During Mitral Valve Repair in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The current technique used in severe mitral regurgitation in children can occasionally lead to residual regurgitation. To address this issue, the posterior annulus elevation technique was developed to enhance coaptation and reduce residual lesions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique in reducing residual regurgitation during mitral valve repair in children.

Coagulation and hemorheology profile of patient with stroke and COVID-19: A case series during second wave pandemic.

In 2021 the delta variant was discovered, heralding the start of the second pandemic wave. This case series aims to analyse and compare the coagulation and hemorheology profiles of COVID-19 patients diagnosed with acute stroke during the pandemic's second wave and ascertain the effect on patient outcomes. This case series reports 4 cases with their respective characteristics.

Isolation and identification of serotype 6B from a patient with bacterial meningitis infection in Jakarta, Indonesia.

CNS infection is a life-threatening condition in developing countries and has been reported as the most common cause of bacterial meningitis; however, there is limited data on pneumococcal meningitis in Indonesia. This cross-sectional study aimed to isolate and identity strains from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens collected as part of routine testing from patients with clinically diagnosed central nervous system infection at a national referral hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2017. isolation and identification were performed using conventional culture and molecular tools.
