The Difference of sVE-Cadherin Levels between Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Patients with Shock and without Shock.

Background: Dengue virus infection is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Dengue virus (DEN-V) consists of 4 serotypes, namely DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. The most feared result of DHF is death.

The Difference of Angiopoietin-2 Levels between Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Patients with Shock and without Shock.

Background: Dengue infection is one of the problems in the national health sector in Indonesia because the incidence and mortality in Indonesia due to dengue infection is still very high. In 2005 Indonesia became the highest contributor to dengue infection in Southeast Asia (53%) with 95.270 people and 1.

Differences in Expression of Inflammatory Mediator in Mucosal and Polyp Tissue between Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Recurrent Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains a challenging clinical entity with its propensity for recurrence. This disease decreases the patients' quality of life and creates a high economic burden. An effort to investigate the aetiology of recurrent polyps has to be more alert.

Association of Inflammation Mediator in Mucosal and Tissue of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Recurrent Nasal Polyp.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwNP) have a high risk of recurrence and patients often experience repeated surgery. There are several types of inflammatory patterns in CRSwNP, such as Th2 inflammation (eosinophilic) and Th1/Th17 inflammation (neutrophilic).

Aim: This study aims to determine the expression of IL-5, IL-8, IL-17A and TGF-β in recurrent CRSwNP using the most convenient and non-invasive examination tool such as brushing the mucosal polyp and find out its correlation with polyp tissues.
