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.

Total intestinal obstruction due to traumatic submucosal jejunal hematoma: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Blunt abdominal trauma can result in various injuries, including intestinal hematomas causing obstruction. Traumatic submucosal jejunal hematomas are rare, especially in children, with bicycle handlebar injuries being a potential cause. Prompt recognition and appropriate imaging are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Value of Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Various Stages.

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is among the most common head and neck cancer, significantly affecting the growth of human tumors. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as a measure of inflammation in patients with various stages of NPC.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted on patients diagnosed with NPC between 2016 and 2020 in Dr.

Lesson Learned from Mass Antibody Rapid Diagnostic Used in the Early COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia Contributors.

Introduction: Laboratory examination is extremely important in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first era of the pandemic, the molecular and antigen tests were limited. Hence, at that time, it was necessary to carry out antibody Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT).

Sigmoid mesocolon internal hernia: a case report.

Unlabelled: Primary internal hernias are rare in adults. Internal hernias present clinically as a sign of small intestinal obstruction. If left untreated, internal hernias might lead to high morbidity and mortality due to strangulation.

Identification of KRAS mutation and HER2 expression in Indonesian colorectal cancer population: a cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: In Indonesia, colorectal cancer is the third most common type. In 2008, Indonesia ranked fourth in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, with an incidence rate of 17.2 per 100 000 population.

A Rare Case of COVID-19-Induced Acute Exacerbation of Oral Dermatitis Herpetiformis in a Geriatric Patient.

Introduction: Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune vesiculobullous disease associated with celiac enteropathy. The clinical manifestation of DH is the occurrence of a papulovesicular rash on the skin. Oral mucosal involvement in DH is very rare.

Concise Clinical Review of Hematologic Toxicity of Linezolid in Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Role of Mitochondria.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is caused by an organism that is resistant to both rifampicin and isoniazid. Extensively drug-resistant TB, a rare type of MDR-TB, is caused by an organism that is resistant to quinolone and one of group A TB drugs (i.e.

Central nervous system tuberculosis.

Purpose Of Review: Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is the most devastating form of tuberculosis (TB), with mortality and or neurological sequelae in over half of individuals. We reviewed original research and systematic reviews published since 1 January 2019 for new developments in CNS TB pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis.

Recent Findings: Insight in the pathophysiology is increasing steadily since the landmark studies in 1933, focussing on granuloma type classification, the relevance of the M.

Current views on the potentials of convalescent plasma therapy (CPT) as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on recent studies and previous respiratory pandemics.

Convalescent plasma therapy (CPT) has been investigated as a treatment for COVID-19. This review evaluates CPT in COVID-19 and other viral respiratory diseases, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and influenza. PubMed and Google scholar databases were used to collect eligible publications until 8 December 2020.

Cytotoxicity of Simvastatin in Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 Cell Lines.

Objective: Statins, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl co-enzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, have been shown to be effective in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Recent reports demonstrate an anticancer effect induced by statins on lung and prostate cancer cells. The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of Simvastatin can serve as chemotherapeutic agent against human breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines.

Amebiasis is caused by the protozoan . Extraintestinal amebiasis manifestation includes liver abscess and other rare manifestations involving the lungs, heart and brain. Liver abscess is the most common extraintestinal manifestation.

Correlation between C-reactive Protein with Malondialdehyde in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by an inflammatory process. One of the inflammation markers that can be measured is C-reactive protein (CRP). Another indicator of inflammation is malondialdehyde (MDA), though it is still uncommon to be analyzed in SLE patients.
