The Effects of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Biomarkers and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Total Coronary Artery Obstruction.

Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is an angiographic picture of total occlusion without blood flow which is estimated to have lasted at least 3 months. This study attempted to provide an overview of the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), soluble suppression tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) as remodeling, inflammatory, and atherosclerotic markers, as well as changes in the angina severity in patients with CTO who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to those without PCI.

Methods: This study is a preliminary report with quasi-experimental design study with a pre-test and post-test approach to compare PCI's effect in CTO patients towards changes in MMP-9, sST2, NT-pro-BNP levels, and changes in the angina severity.

Hematological Parameter as Predictor Mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients.

Purpose: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Several hematological parameters are involved in AMI conditions and can be explored for their ability to predict in-hospital mortality. We evaluated hematological parameter value as predictors of in-hospital mortality in AMI patients.

Multicenter Study of the Risk Factors and Outcomes of Bloodstream Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Non-Susceptible in Indonesia.

The prevalence of bacteremia caused by carbapenem-non-susceptible (CNSAB) continues to increase, and it is associated with a high mortality rate. Early recognition of infection and mortality determinants risk factors is necessary for adequate antibiotic administration. We aimed to determine the risk factors and outcomes of CNSAB bacteremia in Indonesia.

Contrecoup epidural hematoma: a rare case report.

Epidural hematoma (EDH) is defined as a traumatic accretion of blood separating the dural membrane and the internal table of the skull that caused from contact bending or skull fracture. The cases of contrecoup EDH are as not common, and there are just 10 recorded cases on this. As a result of its uncommonness, we disclose one subject of a 33-year-old man having countrecoup EDH who suffered from a head trauma caused by falling from 4 meters high.

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile by Metagenomic and Metatranscriptomic Approach in Clinical Practice: Opportunity and Challenge.

The burden of bacterial resistance to antibiotics affects several key sectors in the world, including healthcare, the government, and the economic sector. Resistant bacterial infection is associated with prolonged hospital stays, direct costs, and costs due to loss of productivity, which will cause policy makers to adjust their policies. Current widely performed procedures for the identification of antibiotic-resistant bacteria rely on culture-based methodology.

Characteristics of hemodynamic parameters after fluid resuscitation and vasoactive drugs administration in pediatric shock: A prospective observational study.

Background: Prior studies have shown that septic shock survivors had a normal cardiac index (CI) and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI). However, this feature seems to be questionable in other-caused shock, since several factors are associated with the hemodynamic profile. This study aims to describe hemodynamic profiles (preload, inotropy, afterload, stroke volume, and cardiac output) after fluid resuscitation and vasoactive therapy in children with shock.
