Anterior urethral hamartoma in a female infant with anorectal malformation: A rare case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Urethral hamartoma is highly unusual, as documented in the literature with only one case that ever reported. Here, we report a case of female infant with urethral hamartoma and anorectal malformation.

Case Presentation: An 8 months old female infant was previously diagnosed with anorectal malformation (ARM) with rectovestibular fistula that had underwent colostomy.

A Rare Case of Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Carcinoma in Transfusion-dependent Thalassemia Patient: Clinical Presentation, Management, and Implications.

Transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) is often accompanied by complications related to iron overload and the development of malignant solid tumors or hematological malignancies. The occurrence of Neuroendocrine carcinoma, specifically in the respiratory tract, is very rare, with a prevalence of approximately 25%. Therefore, this study presented a case of a 42-year-old male with a beta-thalassemia major at 28 years, complaining of shortness of breath.

Feeding intolerance scoring system in very preterm and very low birth weight infants using clinical and ultrasound findings.

Very preterm infants are at a high risk of developing feeding intolerance; however, there are no widely accepted definitions of feeding intolerance. This study aimed to develop a scoring system for feeding intolerance in very preterm infants by combining clinical symptoms and ultrasonography (US) findings. This prospective cohort study included very preterm and/or very low birth weight infants.

Validation of Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ) in Indonesian Bahasa Language as simple assessment of perceived immune status.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether the ISQ can be used to assess immune status in daily clinical practice in Indonesia by translating the questionnaire into Bahasa and analyzing its validity and reliability.

Methods: The ISQ was translated both forward and backward by a professional translator fluent in both English and Bahasa. In this study, a cross-sectional study design was used, and Pearson's correlation test and Cronbach's Alpha calculation were used to perform the validity and reliability test.

Relationship Between Serum Albumin Levels And The Outcome Of Split-Thickness Skin Graft In Burn Injury Patients.

Burn injury is still a global health problem due to its high incidence. Healing of burn wounds requires an optimal state of the body that is characterized by serum albumin level, especially in the category of patients that require skin graft to cover the wound caused by the deep burn. This study investigates the relationship between albumin levels and the outcome of split-thickness skin graft (STSG) and obtains a tolerance limit for albumin levels that can be successful in STSG.

Correlation between ER, PR, HER-2, and Ki-67 with the risk of bone metastases detected by bone scintigraphy in breast cancer patients: A cross sectional study.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. About 30%-85% of breast cancers will metastasize to the bone during the course of the illness. Many studies have shown that molecular marker/subtypes can be useful in determining incidence of different and inconsistent bone metastases.
