Article Synopsis
- PM2.5 air pollution in urban areas like Jakarta is a major health concern, often exceeding safe levels due to rapid urbanization, prompting this study to evaluate specific modeling techniques.
- The study investigates autocorrelation in air quality data and finds that while the Support Vector Regression (SVR) effectively handles autocorrelation, the combination of XGBoost and an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart shows superior monitoring performance.
- The integration of XGBoost and EWMA successfully identified changes in air quality, detecting only one out-of-control point during the monitoring phases, thus improving accuracy and reducing false alarms in air quality assessments.
Introduction: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and provides a target for a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine. CD137 ligand (CD137L) expressed on antigen presenting cells, costimulates CD137-expressing T cells, and reverse CD137L signaling differentiates monocytes to CD137L-DC, a type of DC, which is more potent than classical DC in stimulating T cells.
Methods: In this phase I study, patients with locally recurrent or metastatic NPC were administered CD137L-DC pulsed with EBV antigens (CD137L-DC-EBV-VAX).
Background: Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of the Muslim faith. Despite the positive effects of fasting on health, there are no guidelines or clear recommendations regarding fasting after metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS). The current study reports the result of a modified Delphi consensus among expert metabolic/bariatric surgeons with experience in managing patients who fast after MBS.

A survey was conducted with aim to determine the digestive surgery services provided during the COVID-19 pandemic, optimize safety for patients and clinicians, and safeguard health-care services.
Methods: An online survey was conceived and circulated to members of the Indonesian Society of Digestive Surgeons.
Introduction: Wandering spleen (WS) is an uncommon congenital or acquired condition where the spleen is displaced from its normal position at the left hypochondrium to anywhere within the abdominal or pelvic cavity. The incidence is extremely rare in the geriatric population.
Presentation Of Case: We present a rare case of WS torsion in a 69-year-old elderly patient who presented with an acute abdomen.
