Design: This study explores patients' lives in two demographical settings in South Sulawesi Province, Makassar and Selayar Islands Regency. It employs ethnography, including open-ended interviews and observations of patients, their neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.

Finite element analysis of stabilization splint pressure distribution in a patient with disc displacement without reduction: A preliminary study.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the pattern of condylar pressure distribution in the discs of a patient diagnosed with disc displacement without reduction.

Materials And Methods: This research consisted of a pre- and post-test observational clinical study. A patient diagnosed with disc displacement without reduction underwent treatment with an occlusal splint for 3 months.

Toward hospital resilience: a qualitative study on the identification of hospital shocks during disruption era in Indonesia.

Background: Hospital resilience has been well recognized among healthcare managers and providers as disruption of hospital services that threatens their business environment. However, the shocks identified in the recent hospital resilience concept are mainly related to disaster situations. This study aims to identify potential shocks that hospitals face during disruptions in Indonesia.

Quantitatively detecting ground surface changes of slope failure caused by heavy rain using ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 data: a case study in Japan.

Many SAR images have been utilized for geologic disasters investigations with the continuous launch of new Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites such as ALOS-2/PALSAR-2. However, to proactively respond to transient slope failures caused by heavy rainfall, rapid extraction of areas of surface change accompanying slope failures is required. This study proposes two methods for quantitatively extracting slope failure areas using L-band SAR observations with slope units (SUs) as the evaluation units.

Functional outcome of the one-stage scrotal tunnel + ventral inverted V incision + inverted Y anastomosis technique to treat penile paraffinoma: A single center retrospective study.

Introduction And Objective: Penis enlargement through substance injection is common in many countries of Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. The definitive therapy involves removing the entire skin and the subcutaneous tissue and resurfacing the penile shaft via a single-stage or multi-staged procedure. This study aimed to report the functional outcome and esthetics of treating penile paraffinoma patients using the scrotal tunnel + ventral inverted V incision + anastomosis inverted Y technique.

Comparison of oral health-related quality of life among endodontic patients with irreversible pulpitis and pulp necrosis using the oral health-related endodontic patient's quality of life scale.

This prospective cohort study aimed to clarify differences in the longitudinal effects on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among patients undergoing endodontic treatment for irreversible pulpitis and for pulp necrosis, using a newly developed oral health-related endodontic patient's quality of life (OHQE) scale. This study included 131 patients diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and pulp necrosis. Comprehensive data regarding the patient's background, medical history, and dental history were collected.

Correlation of CD 133 Biomarker with Outcomes and Therapy Response in Advanced-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze CD 133 stem cell biomarker levels in serum and bronchial lavage, as well as correlate these levels with treatment responses and outcomes in patients with advanced-stage NSCLC.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational, and analytical study that analyzed data from NSCLC patients and control at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar.

Snail Expression as a Prognostic Factor in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of Snail in the colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Seventy four paraffin embedded block of Colorectal Adenocarcinoma were assessed using Snail rabbit polyclonal antibody and their expression were performed using Olympus CX-43 light microscope.

Development of Resorbable Phosphate-Based Glass Microspheres as MRI Contrast Media Agents.

In this research, resorbable phosphate-based glass (PBG) compositions were developed using varying modifier oxides including iron (FeO), copper (CuO), and manganese (MnO), and then processed via a rapid single-stage flame spheroidisation process to manufacture dense (i.e., solid) and highly porous microspheres.

Hispidulin-rich fraction of Clerodendrum fragrans Wild. (Sesewanua) dissolving microneedle as antithrombosis candidate: A proof of concept study.

Existing conventional antithrombosis drugs have caused many side effects, opening up opportunities for the development of new thrombotic drugs. There is potential to use the hispidulin-rich fraction of sesewanua (HRFS) as a new antithrombotic. The oral route limitation of hispidulin, as a low water solubility and non-polar compound, can be addressed.

Transplacental transmission of dengue infection.

We specifically addressed the persistent challenge of dengue in endemic regions, highlighting the potential seriousness of dengue infection through vertical transmission. Vertical dengue transmission has been well documented, particularly in hyper-endemic regions, including Ecuador. Herein, we present a neonate diagnosed with congenital dengue and review similar cases from previously published reports.
