The trends of patient engagement in a co-production healthcare services: a insights from a bibliometric analysis.

Purpose: Co-production improves the quality of healthcare services by prioritizing patient-centred care and ensuring optimal implementation. Current patient participation research have primarily concentrated on the co-production stages, despite patient participation being the central emphasis of its implementation. A study conducted analysed four specific attributes of patient participation, with patient engagement specifically emphasizing the interactions between patients and healthcare workers.

Spontaneous thrombosis of post-traumatic direct carotid-cavernous fistula.

Carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, which is most commonly caused by trauma. Due to its high-flow nature and aggressive clinical course, spontaneous resolution of CCF is rare, making endovascular embolization necessary. This procedure aims to prevent potential vision loss, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to preserve visual function.

Rare concurrent extrapulmonary tuberculous pericarditis and pleuritis accompanied with lung silicosis.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis could affect many organs beside lung airway and parenchyma. The mycobacterium tuberculosis can invade area such as the pleural and pericardium by lymphogenic, hematogenic, or direct infection. Patient with history exposure with silica (SiO2) have a high-risk factor developing tuberculosis or extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Conservative treatment in hemifacial spasm due to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia.

Primary or secondary hemifacial spasm (HFS) can be caused by a variety of conditions, one of which is caused by neurovascular contact with a vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD). Microvascular decompression (MVD) had been known for the treatment of neurovascular contact that gives best outcome, however there were still limitations which surgery cannot be performed. In that case, conservative treatment plays essential role.

Diagnosis and management of bilateral vestibular schwannoma in the cerebellopontine angle: A rare case report.

Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) is a benign nerve sheath tumors comprised of Schwann cells. This tumor is encapsulated, slow-growing, and originates from the internal auditory canal, extending into the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). The incidence in individuals aged 20-44 is 0.

The performance of lipid profiles and ratios as a predictor of arterial stiffness measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in type 2 diabetic patients.

Early identification of arterial stiffness in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients before the manifestation of atherosclerosis would be clinically beneficial. Our study aimed to explore the correlation of lipid profiles and ratios with arterial stiffness, and construct a predictive model for arterial stiffness in T2DM patients using those parameters. One hundred and eighty-four adult T2DM patients in the diabetes outpatient clinic at the Dr.

Spontaneous subdural hematoma concomitant with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage due to ruptured brain arteriovenous malformation treated with curative embolization.

Introduction: An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) consists of a tangled cluster of dilated blood vessels forming anomalous communication between arterial and venous systems without capillary bridging. The most likely manifestations of a ruptured AVM are intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Subdural hematoma (SDH) is exceptional in cases of ruptured brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM).

Comparison of ureteral stent diameters on ureteral stent-related symptoms: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Ureteral stents may induce complications that may disrupt the quality of life of patients. Several factors that may cause these symptoms are the design, material, diameter, length, and position of the stent. The impact of its diameter varies among current reports, thus we aimed to compare the symptoms between 6 Fr and 5 Fr or less ureteral stents.

Survival and clinical outcomes of kidney transplant recipients with coronavirus disease infection: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

The recent outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has raised a tremendous global concern among people, especially those with pre-existing comorbidities. Kidney transplant (KT) recipients represent a susceptible category of patients due to the long-term administration of immunosuppressive therapy. However, data on how COVID-19 is affecting these patients are scarce.

Optical coherence tomography: a novel imaging approach to visualize and quantify cutaneous microvascular structure and function in patients with diabetes.

Introduction: The pathophysiology of microvascular disease is poorly understood, partly due to the lack of tools to directly image microvessels in vivo.

Research Design And Methods: In this study, we deployed a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique during local skin heating to assess microvascular structure and function in diabetics with (DFU group, n=13) and without (DNU group, n=10) foot ulceration, and healthy controls (CON group, n=13). OCT images were obtained from the dorsal foot, at baseline (33°C) and 30 min following skin heating.

Methods: The history, the founding fathers, and the next generations of the pediatric neurosurgery in DSGH were traced back from original sources and authors' life stories.

Validation of Urine Test for Detection of Helicobacter pylori Infection in Indonesian Population.

We measured the accuracy of the urine test (RAPIRUN) for detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in Indonesia (Jakarta, Pontianak, and Jayapura) using histology confirmed by immunohistochemistry and/or culture as gold standards. We also used immunohistochemistry to identify CagA phenotype and analyzed H. pylori CagA diversity in Indonesia.

Helicobacter pylori virulence genes in the five largest islands of Indonesia.

Background: It remains unclear whether the low incidence of gastric cancer in Indonesia is due to low infection rates only or is also related to low Helicobacter pylori pathogenicity. We collected H. pylori strains from the five largest islands in Indonesia and evaluated genetic virulence factors.

Dural incision in the petrosal approach with preservation of the superior petrosal vein.

The petrosal approach has been applied for the treatment of many lesions in the posterior fossa, but the location and preservation of the superior petrosal veins (SPVs) during this approach are usually not particularly considered. The authors developed a technique of dural incision with special consideration of the location of the SPVto preserve venous flow during the petrosal approach. The authors describe technical details on how to cut the dura mater and superior petrosal sinus, with special attention to the location of SPV, so that the normal flow of the SPV to the lateral sinus can be preserved.

Molecular Epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori Infection in Nepal: Specific Ancestor Root.

Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in Nepal, a low-risk country for gastric cancer, is debatable. To our knowledge, no studies have examined H. pylori virulence factors in Nepal.

Appropriate first-line regimens to combat Helicobacter pylori antibiotic resistance: an Asian perspective.

Asia has the largest population of any continent and the highest incidence of gastric cancer in the world, making it very important in the context of Helicobacter pylori infection. According to current guidelines, standard triple therapy containing a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics; amoxicillin (AMX) and clarithromycin (CAM) or metronidazole (MNZ), is still the preferred first-line regimen for treatment of H. pylori infection.

Extremely low Helicobacter pylori prevalence in North Sulawesi, Indonesia and identification of a Maori-tribe type strain: a cross sectional study.

Background: Sulawesi in Indonesia has a unique geographical profile with assumed separation from Sundaland. Studies of Helicobacter pylori in this region are rare due to the region's rural location and lack of endoscopy equipment. Indirect methods are, therefore, the most appropriate for measuring H.
