Functional status, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio as prognostic factors of one-year survival rate in elderly patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Background And Aim: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer found in elderly patients. Aging and chronic inflammation are related to its pathogenesis. Functional status, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio describe a chronic inflammation and correlate to the survival of older adults with advanced-stage (IIIB-IV) NSCLC.

Analysis of episiotomy incidence and risk factors in vaginal deliveries: a single-center.

Introduction: Episiotomy is a surgical procedure involving the enlargement of the posterior vagina to facilitate the delivery of the baby. This study aims to further investigate the associated risk factors for episiotomy and the specific indications for its use in spontaneous labor.

Methodology: This institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 349 vaginal births with a ratio of 1:4 from January 2020 to December 2020.

The Correlation of Fluid Creep with Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalance In Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central Public Hospital.

Fluid creep, used as a drug diluent can contribute to fluid and electrolyte balance. Fluid creep brings substantial volume and electrolyte load to patients, especially in critically ill children. This study is conducted to evaluate the correlation of fluid creep with fluid and electrolyte balance in critically ill children.

The Development of New Scoring System to Define the Presence of Instability and the Need of Fusion in Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis - Jakarta Instability Score.

Study Design: Systematic review, expert opinion and Delphi technique, and validity and reliability studies.

Objective: We developed Jakarta Instability Score (JIS) to identify spinal instability and the need of fusion in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

Methods: This study consisted of systematic review to find predictors of spinal instability, expert opinion and modified Delphi technique to develop JIS, and validity and reliability studies of the newly developed JIS.

Glove-Induced Hand Dermatitis: A Study in Healthcare Workers during COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia.

Skin damage among healthcare workers has been reported by many centers around the world. Occupational hand dermatitis is one of the most commonly known occupational skin diseases and a socially significant health issue. The use of gloves is one of the risk factors for the occurrence and/or aggravation of hand dermatitis.

Identification of Pacemaker Lead Position Using Fluoroscopy to Avoid Significant Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Permanent pacemaker implantation improves survival but can cause tricuspid valve dysfunction in the form of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The dominant mechanism of pacemaker-mediated TR is lead impingement. This study evaluated the association between the location of the pacemaker leads crossing the tricuspid valve and the incidence of worsening TR and lead impingement using fluoroscopy.

Repair of old total perineal rupture: a case series.

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries are complications occurred during vaginal delivery. An inadequate of this condition may lead to the total perineal rupture. One of the symptoms is anal incontinence.

The Adjunctive Effects of Acupuncture for Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: a Single-Blinded Randomized Clinical Study.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that can induce cytokine storm. To this point, no specific drug has been effective for curing COVID-19.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a combination of acupuncture intervention and pharmacologic treatment in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with mild-moderate symptoms.

Association of leukocyte nadir with complete remission in Indonesian acute myeloid leukemia patients undergoing 7+3 remission induction chemotherapy.

: The 7+3 regimen is still the main choice of remission induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Successfully achieving complete remission (CR) and the time required to achieve it determine patient's survival. Hence, bone marrow examination on 14 day of chemotherapy is recommended to predict CR.

Combination of Battlefield Acupuncture and Local Point Acupuncture for Post Laparotomy Scar Pain.

Scar pain is a residual symptom of a wound that can cause physiologic and psychologic disorders in patients. In addition to mechanical stimulation in nociceptive fibers, pain can be caused by a neuroma-an adhesion between the layers of skin and fascia that disrupts blood flow around the scar-as well as an increase in peptidergic nerve-fiber density due to dysregulation between synthesis and degradation of collagen tissue that cause abnormal scar formation. Research has shown that ear acupuncture is effective for management of acute pain, including scar pain.

The Role of Electroacupuncture in the Regulation of Appetite-Controlling Hormone and Inflammatory Response in Obesity.

Obesity, a condition with serious complications, needs special attention. It is a complex and multifactorial problem and regulation of calorie balance involving various humoral and central factors is the main key for managing obesity. In addition, there is an increase in various proinflammatory cytokines and an increase in oxidative stress.
