It is usually defined as the murder of a child in the first 24 hours of life, whereas in the US it is defined as the murder of a person one week or less. In the UK, the adultery of a baby, who is not yet one year old by his own mother is referred to as infanticide and is given a lighter sentence due to considerations of mental status. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the basis for consideration used is the motive for fear of being caught giving birth to a child and the murder is carried out immediately during childbirth. As for determining that murder is the murder of one’s own child or ordinary murder, a forensic examination is required. Case: A case was reported with the victim of a baby boy in a cardboard box on the road around the housing complex and an examination of the body was carried out in the autopsy room of the Forensic Medicine and Medicolegal Medical Installation of Bhayangkara General Hospital, TK II Medan City according to the Visum Request Letter. Results: it was found that the baby was born alive, viabel, did not get treatment with the estimated age of the baby in the womb was 9-10 months (mature). The cause of death is due to exposure that causes suffocation due to the obstruction of air entering the respiratory tract. Discussion: On examination, the baby was estimated to be aged 9-10 months in the womb (viable). There is no sign of treatment. Bruises were found on the upper and lower lips of the outer and inner parts which indicated the presence of closure of the baby’s mouth by the perpetrator. There are also signs of asphyxia. On internal examination, a positive pulmonary buoyancy test was found and the results of pulmonary histopathology showed that the baby was viable and quite a month. Conclusion: The baby is a victim of murder, so the perpetrator must be held accountable for his actions and can be prosecuted under articles 341, 342 of the Criminal Code if the perpetrator is a biological mother and article 343 of the Criminal Code if there are people who help / do.","PeriodicalId":145640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nephrology & Endocrinology Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132409012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present, thyroid disease forms the second most common endocrine disorder in India next to Diabetes mellitus. The women are affected more than men .10% prevalence in adult women and 3% in adult men. Symptoms include fatigue, lethargy, aches and pains, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, excessive tendency to sleep and angina pain .Thyroid hormone replacement must be taken for the rest of their life in case of hypothyroidism patients, if they are following allopathic system of medicine and the side effects which these medicines produced are much harmful than hypothyroidism. If homoeopathic similimum could stimulate the body to produce its hormones in a balanced level, then the need for lifelong hormonal replacement in hypothyroidism becomes unnecessary. Methodology: A comparative cross sectional study has been conducted using questionnaire on 60 hypothyroid patients, in such a way that female patients who has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism between the ages of 35 to 55 were selected. They were divided as 30 homoeopathic users and 30 non-homoeopathic users. Field study was conducted and allopathic users were obtained through NSS camp surveys and homoeopathic users through patients attending SKHMC OPDs .The questionnaires were filled by the patient. Details regarding TFT values height, weight, were recorded. The comorbidities suffered by each patient were recorded and analysis was made. Regarding symptomatic change before and after medication and also risk factors were added in the questionnaire. Analysis was done using chi square test to compare the treatment groups. Result: From the study conducted, it has been observed that the disease is prevalent in patients between 35 and 39 years. Majority of the patients had conditions like increased BMI(>25). Regarding symptomatic relief in patients before and after medication in both groups, homoeopathic users got better symptomatic relief when compared with non-users. Many of the symptoms has persist even after using conventional treatment when statistically analysed with a p value <0.01.","PeriodicalId":145640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nephrology &amp; Endocrinology Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131124816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It indicates that Organ injury is the consequence of maladaptive neurohormonal activation, oxidative stress, abnormal immune cell signalling, and a host of other mechanisms that precipitate adverse functional and structural changes. This syndrome has many complex physiologic, biochemical, and hormonal abnormalities and its pathophysiology is not fully understood. The possible mechanisms include reduced kidney perfusion due to decreased forward flow, increased right ventricular and venous pressure, and neurohormonal adaptations. Assessment of biomarkers are valuable clinical strategies to screen and detect disease, assist in diagnosis, assess prognosis, and predict recovery or progression to chronic disease or even death. Reduced kidney function is associated with increased mortality in such patients. Treatment options include inotropic medications; diuretics; ultrafiltration; and medications, such as β-blockers, inhibitors of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system, and more novel treatments. Recent observational studies suggest that treatments that result in a decrease in venous pressure and lead to haemoconcentration may be associated with improved outcomes.

Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension are the two major causes of chronic kidney disease worldwide. This study is aimed to determine prevalence and associated factors of chronic kidney disease among diabetes mellitus and hypertensive patients at Ambo town public hospitals, EthiopiaMethods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Ambo University referral and general hospitals on 308 study participants. The participants were interviewed using interviewer administered questionnaire when they come for follow up at a chronic illness follow-up clinic. The patient charts were reviewed to retrieve information regarding medications, blood pressure, serum Creatinine and glucose level. A chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equation was used to estimate Glomerular filtration rate from serum Creatinine. Data were analyzed SPSS version 23 for statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with chronic kidney disease. Variables with a p-value below 0.2 at bivariable analysis were entered into the multivariable logistic regression model. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between dependent and independent variable and p-value less than 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.Results: A total of 308 diabetes mellitus and hypertensive patients were included in the study from Ambo town public hospitals. Of which 156 (50.6%) participants were female with mean (± SD) age of 47.15 ± 12.06 years. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (stage 3–5) was 20.5% with (95% CI: 16%-25%). Long duration of hypertension (AOR=4.89, 95% CI=1.93-12.40), elevated systolic blood pressure (>140mmHG) (AOR=3.20, 95% CI=1.36-7.51), family history (AOR=3.36, 95% CI=1.56-7.24) and age greater than 55 years (AOR=2.17, 95% CI=1.09-4.31) were predictors of chronic kidney disease.Conclusion: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease was high. Older age, elevated SBP, long duration of hypertension and family history of kidney disease were independent predictors of chronic kidney disease.
