Comparison of Time to Pregnancy in Fertilisation between Endometriosis and Nonendometriosis.

Background: This study is to compare the time to pregnancy (TTP) between patients with endometriosis and nonendometriosis undergoing fertilisation (IVF).This is an observational retrospective cohort study. We included 291 patients (53 with endometriosis and 238 without endometriosis) achieving biochemical pregnancy, whether singleton or multifetal (serum beta-hCG >5 mIU/mL), between 1st January 2014 and 31st March 2020.

Efficacy and safety of rucaparib in patients with recurrent high-grade ovarian carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Ovarian cancer stands as the third most prevalent gynecological malignancy. The advent of PARP inhibitors, particularly rucaparib, has revolutionized the landscape of advanced ovarian cancer treatment, demonstrating notable efficacy with minimal toxicity, especially in patients not previously exposed to PARP inhibitors. Rucaparib's precision-driven approach, targeting specific genetic mutations, disrupts DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in cytotoxic effects on neoplastic cells.

Intraabdominal mature cystic teratoma in a 20-year-old male: A rare case.

Teratomas are the most prevalent type of germ cell tumors and usually display benign characteristics. Mature cystic teratomas consist of a varied mixture of mature tissue types that originate from squamous epithelium and skin adnexal structures. It is most commonly found in female gonads.

Two cases of type 1 jejunoileal atresia with multiple webs: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Type 1 jejunoileal atresia with multiple webs is a rare congenital condition that poses significant surgical challenges in neonates. Understanding the unique presentation and management strategies in such cases is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Case Presentation: We report two cases involving full-term neonates presenting with severe abdominal distension and bilious vomiting.

Barriers and Facilitators of Early Palliative Care in the Trajectory of People Living with Chronic Condition: A Mini Review Using Socio-ecological Framework to Inform Public Health Strategy.

The increasing incidence of chronic conditions on a global scale requires a comprehensive approach to palliative care, which is recognized as an essential element of the continuum of care for people with life-threatening conditions. It has been argued that the integration of early palliative care for people with chronic conditions is beneficial. Nevertheless, barriers to integrating early palliative care have been extensively not reviewed.

Diagnostics and Management Challenges of Nonpuerperal Uterine Inversions - Case Series.

Purpose: Non-puerperal uterine inversion (NPUI) is a rare gynaecological entity with unknown actual incidence. It presents diagnostic and surgical challenges, due to its rarity and lack of clinical experience.

Methods: Case series of 5 NPUI cases.

Delayed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and risk of meniscus injury: Exploring the safest delay interval.

Purpose: The duration for which anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) can be delayed without resulting in a risk of subsequent meniscus injury has remained a debatable topic. The main purpose of this study was to determine the safest delay interval for a delayed ACLR.

Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent ACLR between January 2020 and January 2022.

Predictor of left main coronary artery size: an intravascular ultrasound study in Southeast Asia population.

Left main (LM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has expanded rapidly in the past decade, with up to fourfold increase annually. Recent trials found that intravascular imaging (IVI)-guided LM PCI resulted in lower risks of cardiac death and stent failure due to suboptimal PCI compared to angiography-guided PCI. IVI usage has increased in recent years; however, its utilization remains variable across regions and is still incredibly low in developing countries.

Clinicopathological Characteristics of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma at the Central Referral and Teaching Hospital in West Java, Indonesia.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and analyze the relationship between the degree of differentiation and factors including age, sex, stage, and tumor location in West Java, Indonesia.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Central Referral and Teaching Hospital in West Java, Indonesia. The data were collected by reviewing medical records with International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes C00-C06 from 2016 to 2023.

Renal Cortical Imaging with Tc-99m DMSA in Children: An Institutional Review.

 Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the commonly encountered conditions in children. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy is widely advocated for functional and morphological evaluation of the renal cortex including parenchymal defect. Moreover, only a small percentage of renal defects are detected by ultrasound.

Changes in optic nerve sheath diameter and its correlation with degree of consciousness, pupil diameter, and light reflex in children with central nervous system infection after osmotherapy.

Background: High intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of the most common complications of central nervous system (CNS) infection. Failure to control high intracranial pressure results in brain herniation and death. One of the treatments for high ICP involves the administration of osmotherapy in the form of 3% NaCl or 20% mannitol with observation during administration.

Effect of honey and povidone-iodine on acute laceration wound healing: a pilot randomised controlled trial study.

Objective: Acute laceration wound (ALW) is one of the most common injuries in Indonesia with potential significant morbidities. In rural areas, povidone-iodine and honey are commonly used as wound dressings. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of honey compared to paraffin gauze and the commonly used povidone-iodine in improving ALW healing time.

Clinical and Biomarker Characteristic of Lymphoma Patients in Hasan Sadikin Lymphoma Registry.

Background: No specific data have been systematically collected regarding lymphoma patient characteristics, while non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is identified as the 7 most common cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is the 28. Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of lymphoma. Malnutrition is an adverse prognostic factor in lymphoma.

Simplified Creatinine Index as Predictor of Malnutrition in Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Maintenance Haemodialysis.

Background: Malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) is an instrument for assessing the nutritional status of stage 5 CKD patients, while simplified creatinine index (SCI) is used to assess muscle mass indirectly.

Purpose: This study aims to analyse the correlation between SCI and MIS, as well as determine the SCI cut-off value as a predictor of malnutrition in stage 5 CKD patients on maintenance HD.

Methods: This research was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional study approach.

The Performance of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Virus Using the Colorimetric Reverse-Transcription Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) Method in Saliva Specimens of Suspected COVID-19 Patients.

Introduction: Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by Severe-Acute-Respiratory-Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The most reliable and widely accepted method for diagnosing this infection, despite facing various challenges, is the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method, which utilizes nasopharyngeal swab sample. Reverse-transcription loop mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) is a simpler nucleic acid amplification method compared to the RT-PCR method.
