Exposure to ambient air pollution and osteoarthritis; an animal study.

Exposure to air pollution has been associated with many adverse health effects. However, the evidence on the effects on osteoarthritis (OA) is scarce and the potential mechanism is unclear yet. Therefore, this study assessed the effect of exposure to air pollution (gaseous and particulate matter) and OA based on an animal model.

Profile and histopathology features of top three cases of Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) in West Nusa Tenggara: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that might threaten life with a high incidence rate globally, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Although some TB cases are found in the lungs, the incidence of patients with extra-pulmonary TB infection also shows a significant number. However, these cases are still underreported, especially in Indonesia.

Modified Swenson-like pull-through with temporary stump for redo pull-through after failed Transanal Endorectal Pull-through.

Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital anomaly in the distal part of the gastrointestinal tract, characterised by the absence of neuronal ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus, causing the accumulation of faeces in the proximal portion. Dehiscence of coloanal anastomosis is one of the complications of Transanal Endorectal Pull-through (TEPT) surgery. This paper reports a case of Hirschsprung's disease in a six-year-old girl who experienced anastomotic dehiscence after undergoing TEPT.
