Digital payment and banking stability in emerging economy with dual banking system.

Previous studies provided limited conclusions on the relationship between digital payment and financial stability, particularly in an emerging economy with a dual banking system in which Islamic banking operates in parallel with its conventional counterpart, such as Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of digitalisation on financial stability, particularly banking stability, in Indonesia. It uses Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models to investigate the relationship using monthly data during December 2013-July 2021 period.

New evidence of illicit cigarette consumption and government revenue loss in Indonesia.

Introduction: Illicit cigarettes because of their affordability could increase smoking prevalence, especially among young people. They also cause a large revenue loss for the government. This study aims to estimate illicit cigarette consumption and government revenue loss in Indonesia, a country with a very high smoking prevalence, especially among males.

[In-hospital prognosis of right ventricular myocardial infarction].

Aim: To identify prognostic risk factors for in-hospital outcome of right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVI).

Methods: A retrospective study of 20 patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction with a RVI defined by ST segment elevation > or = 1 mm in V3R and V4R leads.

Results: The mean age was 62 years.

[Echocardiographic factors determining immediate result of percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy].

Aim: Define echocardiographic predictors of the result after percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMC).

Methods: PMC by the Inoue balloon was attempted in 247 patients (77% female) with severe mitral valve stenosis. The mean age was 35 years.

[Value of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in blood pressure profile determination in type 2 diabetes].

Risk assessment in the type 2 diabetic patients must take into account the major risk factors, particularly arterial hypertension which is commonly associated, increasing the risk for macrovascular and microvascular complications. The aim of this study is to determine whether ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides additional information to clinical (office) blood pressure measurement for the detection and control of hypertension in type 2 diabetic patients. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is more helpful than office blood pressure measurement for the evaluation of blood pressure levels.

[Knowledge, treatment and control of hypertension. Results of a multicenter study of patients hospitalized for cardiac ischemia].

The study objective was to assess the prevalence, level of treatment, and control of hypertension in CHDs patients. We conducted a cross-sectional survey on 1109 patients hospitalised for a first episode of MI in the main hospitals of the District of Tunis during the period 1999-2000. Hypertension and control level are defined according to the JNC recommendations.

[Hypertension emergencies].

Hypertensive emergencies include clinical situations with different prognosis. The emergencies are defined by the gravity of acute visceral failures. They need a parenteral treatment.

Mitral balloon valvuloplasty by Inoue technique without echocardiographic standby.

Mitral balloon valvuloplasty (MBV) by Inoue technique was performed in 85 patients with symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). Twenty-eight patients were male and 57 patients were female. The age range was nine to 59 years (mean 28).
