Successful Primary PCI in Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Complicated by Inferior ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Case in a Facility with No Surgical Backup.

Mortality of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) complicated with coronary malperfusion syndrome is very high even when emergency surgery is performed. Several reports suggested that primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) followed by immediate corrective surgery may reduce mortality. In many countries, immediate transfer to an aortic surgery center may not be possible.

Clinical remission of rheumatoid arthritis in a multicenter real-world study in Asia-Pacific region.

Background: Clinical remission is an attainable goal for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). However, data on RA remission rates from multinational studies in the Asia-Pacific region are limited. We conducted a cross-sectional multicentric study to evaluate the clinical remission status and the related factors in RA patients in the Asia-Pacific region.

Screening through Temperature and Thermal Pattern Analysis in DMBA - Induced Breast Cancer in Wistar Rats.

Background: Based on thermal temperatures around the breast, thermography is considered a promising approache providing information about the condition of the breast without any side effects.

Objective: Using thermography, breast screening is highly dependent on the process of heat recognition. The angular effects in the process of thermal patterns recognition can increase false detection.

The maximum dose and duration in the therapy single use methotrexate to achieve remission by rheumatoid arthritis patients through disease activity score 28 (DAS28).

Objectives: One of the treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was methotrexate which a disease modifying antirheumatic drug therapy. The use of methotrexate required the right dose and length of therapy to achieve remission. The effectivity of methotrexate could be accounted by disease activity score 28 (DAS28) as a tool has been used clinically with a combination number of tender joints, swollen joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and global clinical assessment by the patient.

The knowledge of Indonesian pediatric residents on hyperbilirubinemia management.

Hyperbilirubinemia in the newborn occurs more frequently in Indonesia. Therefore, it is important that pediatric residents in Indonesia acquire adequate knowledge of hyperbilirubinemia management. This study aims to determine the pediatric residents' knowledge on hyperbilirubinemia management, whether they follow recommended guidelines, and whether differences exist between five large Indonesian teaching hospitals.

Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction prevent bone bridge formation on growth plate injury in rat (in vivo studies) an experimental research.

The growth plate is cartilage tissue found at the end of long bones in children, responsible for longitudinal bone growth. Injuries to the growth plate cartilage often lead to unwanted bony repair, resulting in growth disturbances such as limb length discrepancy and angulation deformity in children. There is currently no clinical treatment that can fully repair an injured growth plate.

Case Report: Non-microscopic surgical management of incomplete penile amputation.

Penile amputation is an emergency urologic condition requiring immediate attention in order to maximize functional outcomes. Unfortunately, there is limited experience and publication of case reports describing the successful replantation of penis after incomplete amputation, especially in facilities without adequate microsurgical tools and means. We hereby present a case of penile amputation caused by a mechanical grass cutter and a discussion of its surgical management.

Migration of K-wire into the cavum pleura after the reduction of acromioclavicular dislocation, a case report and review of literature.

Introduction: The use of K-wire (Kirschner wire) in acromioclavicular dislocation was the first trans-articular fixation technique to be described.

Presentation Of Case: A 40-years-old man was presented to the emergency room (ER) with shortness of breath. He had a history of acromioclavicular dislocation two years ago, which had been treated using two K-wires and tension band wiring.

Optimizing Infrared Camera Resolution for Small Object Detection using Subpixel Rendering and PIFS in Multiresolution Image Analysis.

Background: Breast cancer screening techniques have been developing rapidly in the field of imaging systems. One of these techniques is thermography, which is an alternative modality for mammography to detect breast lesions. Thermography utilization has been progressively developing as various models and methods of object processing improvement.

Functional outcomes evaluation after radial head arthoplasty in DR. Syaiful Anwar General Hospital: Case series.

Introduction: Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has become one of the mainstay surgical treatment for radial head fracture in certain conditions. Many previous studies compared the superiority of either open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and RHA with inconclusive result. Our case series aim to evaluate the functional outcome of the patients treated with RHA in our institution.

Union of Brodsky type 1/Eichenholtz stage III Charcot neuroarthropathy after forefoot arthrodesis.

Introduction: One of the surgical intervention options for Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is arthrodesis. The arthrodesis procedure for the foot and ankle joint have been widely used in previous studies. This study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes after arthrodesis procedure for the CN patient with Brodsky type 1/Eichenholtz stage III.

A real-world study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with gliclazide modified-release during fasting: DIA-RAMADAN.

Aims: To explore the real-world safety and effectiveness of gliclazide modified release (MR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) fasting during Ramadan.

An 18-Year-Old Man with Idiopathic Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension.

Non-Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension (NCPH) is a rare cause of hematemesis and melena. Like in cirrhotic patient, hematemesis in NCPH patient was caused by rupture of esophageal varices. But unlike in cirrhotic patient, in NCPH there are no sign of liver failure, because liver physiology is still normal.

Free non-vascularized fibular graft reconstruction after resection of metacarpal unicameral bone cyst: A case report.

Unicameral bone cyst (UBC) or simple bone cyst (SBC) is a benign cystic lesion commonly found in the humerus and femur that is mainly encountered during childhood. The currently available treatments for UBC of the hand commonly involve curettage, bone grafting, partial resection with or without grafting, multiple drilling, fracture immobilization and observation alone, and steroid injection.
