Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the pediatric surgery residency program, with limited research focusing on residents' thoughts on its impact.
- A survey was conducted among pediatric surgery residents, assessing their views on COVID-19, adaptations in their learning processes, and suggestions for improving residency quality during the outbreak.
- Results showed that most residents supported the postponement of elective surgeries, shifted to online learning, and felt they had more time for academic assignments, highlighting the need for adaptations to maintain program standards amidst safety concerns.
Background: Transmission within families and multiple spike protein mutations have been associated with the rapid transmission of SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to: (1) describe full genome characterization of SARS-CoV-2 and correlate the sequences with epidemiological data within family clusters, and (2) conduct phylogenetic analysis of all samples from Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia and other countries.
Methods: The study involved 17 patients with COVID-19, including two family clusters.
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common devastating inflammatory gastrointestinal disease and frequently occurs in premature infants. Here, we reported a case of late-onset NEC in a term neonate with good outcome after surgery for long-term follow-up.
Case Presentation: Ten-week-old male came to emergency unit due to prolonged diarrhea and abdominal distention.
Objective: Cluster genes, specifically the class 3 semaphorins () including , have been associated with the development of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) in Caucasian populations. We aimed to screen for rare and common variants in in Indonesian patients with HSCR.
Methods: In this prospective clinical study, we analyzed gene variants in 55 patients with HSCR through DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses.
Various radiological findings in patients with COVID-19: A case series.

Introduction: Radiological evaluation of suspected COVID-19 patients is required for early detection of thoracic involvement, particularly in emergency units, while waiting for definitive diagnosis by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Here, we report a case series of CXR findings in Indonesian patients with COVID-19 in our institution.
Presentation Of Cases: We included 7 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR, including 4 females and 3 males, with ages ranging from 36 to 71 years.
