Challenges and outcomes of upper cervical spinal tuberculosis surgery in pandemic-Case series study.

Introduction And Importance: Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs. Conversely, the incidence of spinal tuberculosis (TB) was limited to a mere 6 % of cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Upper cervical spinal TB is an exceptionally uncommon condition, with an incidence rate of approximately 0.

Evaluating prognostic indicators for in-hospital mortality in Fournier's gangrene: a 7-year study in a tertiary hospital.

Background: Fournier's Gangrene Scoring Index (FGSI), Simplified FGSI (SFGSI), Uludag FGSI (UFGSI), Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing (LRINEC), Neutrophil-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and Platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been devised to assess the risk of mortality in Fournier's Gangrene (FG) patients. However, the effectiveness of these indicators in predicting mortality at the time of admission remains uncertain. The aim of this study is to assess the prognostic efficacy of FG's various indicators on in-hospital mortality.

A diagnostic challenge in cervical spine mass of spinal giant cell tumor mimicking tuberculosis: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: There were many reported cases that misdiagnosed cervical tuberculosis because cervical tuberculosis can mimic the characteristics of benign tumours. In this case report, we are reporting a case of a giant cell tumor (GCT) that was misdiagnosed with cervical tuberculosis.

Case Presentation: A 24-year-old male came with a chief complaint of being unable to move his hands and feet four months before admission.

Management of high-grade pediatric renal trauma in tertiary referral hospital in Indonesia: A case series and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Genitourinary tract injuries constitute 10 % of all traumas, with renal injuries being common in pediatric cases due to reduced perirenal fat and abdominal wall muscle development. However, very few reports of pediatric renal trauma in Indonesia have been reported. In this case series, We present a case series of high-grade renal injury and review the literature on pediatric renal trauma in Indonesia.

Economic Evaluation of COVID-19 Screening Tests and Surveillance Strategies in Low-Income, Middle-Income, and High-Income Countries: A Systematic Review.

BACKGROUND Economic evaluation of the testing strategies to control transmission and monitor the severity of COVID-19 after the pandemic is essential. This study aimed to review the economic evaluation of COVID-19 tests and to construct a model with outcomes in terms of cost and test acceptability for surveillance in the post-pandemic period in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed the systematic review following PRISMA guidelines through MEDLINE and EMBASE databases.

Risk factors of emerging multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in burn patients at burn Unit of Dr. Soetomo Hospital.

Introduction: Burn injury patients are at high risk of infection as a result of the nature of the burn injury itself, including prolonged hospital stays, antibiotics use, treatment procedures, etc. In this era, nosocomial infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii (A.ba) have increased significantly.

Effect of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein exposure on ACE2 and interleukin 6 productions in human adipocytes: An in-vitro study.

Since adipocytes play a crucial role in pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection due to their interaction with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), obesity is associated with an increased risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality. Discovery of ACE2 as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor raises a controversy about whether to use ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) could be an optional therapy to prevent cytokine storms. Studies assessing the expressions of ACE2 and IL-6 upon exposure to SARS-CoV-2 is therefore important as a basis for therapeutical trials in the future.

Correlation between estrogen receptor and programmed death ligand-1 in type I endometrial cancer.

Objective: To determine the effect of estrogen receptor (ER) on programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in type I endometrial cancer (EC).

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 85 patients with type I EC who underwent surgery at Dr. Soetomo Hospital between 2018 and 2022.

The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation to Parameter of Sarcopenia in Elderly People: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Vitamin D plays an essential role in promoting skeletal muscle metabolism. Several studies show that vitamin D may help the elderly prevent sarcopenia. Nevertheless, the outcome remains debatable.

The roles of C-reactive protein-albumin ratio as a novel prognostic biomarker in heart failure patients: A systematic review.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)-albumin ratio (CAR) is a novel prognostic biomarker that is predicted to be a more reliable indicator than CRP or albumin alone. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the role of CAR in predicting poor outcomes of heart failure (HF) patients. We conducted a literature search across ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus.

Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery for successful removal of an encrusted ureteral stent and multiple renal stones in solitary kidney: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Several endoscopic procedures have been performed to clear stones in the kidney. A potential technique called endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) is a practical option for treating complex kidney stones. Hereby, we report a neglected double j (DJ) stent and recurrent multiple kidney stones treated by ECIRS.

The roles of thyroidectomy in patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis: A systematic review.

The principal management of Amiodarone-induced-thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is balancing cardiac-thyroid conditions. However, the role of thyroidectomy is still contentious. This systematic review aims to provide insights into the roles of thyroidectomy in the management of AIT.

Intra-aortic balloon pump still has a role in late-onset myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular septal rupture with intractable heart failure: a case report.

Background: The current guidelines have discouraged the routine use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in cardiogenic shock complicating acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Since then, the trend of IABP utilization in ACS has been declining. Nevertheless, the guidelines still preserve the recommendation of IABP use in hemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock caused by post myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal rupture (VSR).

Retinal neurovascular alteration in type 2 diabetes with renal impairment in association with systemic arterial stiffness.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients should be alert for subclinical macroangiopathy. We aimed to investigate the association between retinal neurovascular alteration and systemic arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) patients with varying degrees of renal impairment.

Methods: The study included 170 patients with confirmed diagnosis of type 2 DM aged ≥18 years old.

Long-term systolic blood pressure variability independent of mean blood pressure is associated with mortality and cardiovascular events: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The association between long-term systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes after being adjusted with mean blood pressure (BP) is questionable. This systematic review aims to evaluate the associations between mean BP adjusted long-term SBPV and CV outcomes. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct on January 4, 2023.

Awareness of sun exposure risks and photoprotection for preventing pigmentary disorders in Asian populations: Survey results from three Asian countries and expert panel recommendations.

Background: In this article, we review and discuss the photoprotection behavior of Asians based on the literature, along with a subanalysis of an original online survey, and make recommendations to optimize photoprotection for Asian populations to prevent photoaging and pigmentary disorders.

Methods: An international panel of eight dermatologists from Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam) met to discuss sunscreen photoprotection for Asian patients. Additionally, a subanalysis of an online survey by 3000 respondents from three Asian countries (China, Indonesia, and Japan) investigated general public awareness and attitudes to sun exposure.
