Studies in other countries showed a sudden decrease in admission rates, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), one of ACS treatments, has an impact due to this pandemic. This study aimed to ascertain the effect of COVID-19 on the admissions and management of patients with ACS in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It was an observational single center study conducted by collecting data for ACS patients at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. Admission data for March 2019 to February 2020 were pre pandemic data, while those gathered from March to December 2020 were pandemic data. Data from 864 (pre pandemic period) and 338 patients (during the pandemic period) were further analyzed. The results showed a decrease in ACS patients’ admission during the pandemic. The most remarkable reduction occurred in those with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), followed by non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UAP) (63.4, 61.4, and 40.9%, respectively). Furthermore, the PCI procedure decreased compared to the period before the pandemic. No significant differences in patients’ characteristics was observed (p>0.05), except for the incidence of pneumonia (p <0.001). Finally, the mortality rate was higher during the pandemic than before (14.8 vs 13.2%), although it was not significant (p>0.05). This study showed that COVID-19 caused a sensible reduction in the admission rates for ACS patients and the number of PCI procedures have been performed. On the other hand, their mortality rate did not increase significantly. However, it is essential to improve healthcare services for ACS patients considering the uncertainty of ending the COVID-19 outbreak.","PeriodicalId":173108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":"1156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116354671","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}

This condition occurs due to abnormalities in the small blood vessels in the brain that lead to hypoxia. It is often observed in patients with ischemic stroke and accompanied by risk factors for hyperlipidemia. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the degree of leukoaraiosis and hyperlipidemia in post-ischemic stroke patients. A cross-sectional study retrospectively was conducted on post-ischemic stroke patients who underwent brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) on T2 and FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) sequence at the Department of Radiology, Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, from January 2021 to March 2022. A total of 36 patients were involved in this study. The leukoaraiosis of patient was examined by brain MRI. Degree of the leukoaraiosis was determined based on Fazekas classification. Serum cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), and triglyceride levels of patients were then examined. The data obtained were then analyzed using Spearman correlation test. A positive correlation was observed between the degree of leukoaraiosis and triglyceride level (p = 0.042; r = 0.292) and age (p= 0.004; r = 0.464). However, no correlation was observed between the degree of leukoaraiosis and cholesterol, HDL, and LDL (p>0.05). In conclusion, the leukoaraiosis degree is correlated with serum triglyceride levels and age in post-ischemic stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":173108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127717683","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}

Relevant publications were searched  from PubMed and Google Scholar databases within the last 10 years. Ototoxicity due to cisplatin can occur through the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Cisplatin causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, DNA damage, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory processes, resulting in increased apoptosis of cochlear outer hair cells. The active constituents of N. sativa including flavonoids, phenolics and thymoquinone can prevent the cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Examination of endogenous antioxidants, antiapoptotic, and proinflammatory could be used as primary approach to evaluate the protective role of N. sativa against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.","PeriodicalId":173108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122168103","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}

The enigma of thyroid nodules has been a blind spot for radiologists for a long period. Reporting a thyroid nodule as benign or malignant is quite difficult and many times not accurate. The American Collage of Radiology-Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIRADS) 2017 classification has solved this problem to a large extent. However, the classification needed pathological confirmation for it to be highly accurate. We compared our HRUS-based TIRADS labeling of thyroid nodules with thyroid cytopathology using revised Bethesda classification system. Patients detected with thyroid nodules by HRUS were categorized using ACR-TIRADS and further were taken for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in our department. The pathological results were compared with the initial TIRADS category of the nodule and the effectiveness of the TIRADS classification in categorizing nodules into benign and malignant was assessed using various statistical variables. The initial USG and the FNAC were performed by a single radiologist with over 10 years of experience. A total of 201 patients underwent HRUS followed by FNAC after obtaining written consent in our department. The thyroid nodules labeled as true benign on ACR-TIRADS (TIRADS 2) were all true benign on Bethesda cytopathology (less than Bethesda III), confirming the high accuracy of HRUS. The diagnostic accuracy of HRUS in cases of ACR-TIRADS 3 nodules was approximately 90.6% with an error rate of 9.4%. Nodules labeled as ACR-TIRADS 4 and 5 had error rates of 47% and 10% in labeling nodules as malignant. The ultrasound-based ACR-TIRADS system can accurately predict the likelihood of specific nodules being benign. There is a strong concordance between Bethesda cytology and ACR-TIRADS classification, particularly for benign nodules. In resource-constrained system like ours, patients with TIRADS 2 and 3 nodules can be safely followed obviating the need for an invasive procedure like FNAC.","PeriodicalId":173108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116596685","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}

This vulnerable population may experience a decline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following a natural disaster. This scoping review aimed to have a better understanding on the elderly’s HRQOL following natural disasters, its influencing factors, and the state of the research on this topic. A literature search was conducted using four databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and ProQuest) for the last 10 years (2013–2022). The summary of the selected relevant articles and analysis data were used to present the findings. There were seven articles included in our review. One article was about floodsand the rest was about earthquake.Two out of the six earthquake articles involved tsunamis. All of the studies were conducted during the recovery phase and revealed that the elderly had poor HRQOL after natural disasters. Several aspects, including demographics, physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors, were identified as having impacts on the elderly‘s HRQOL following a disaster. The relocation had a significant negative impact on the mental health of the elderly, with a mean difference of -3.69 (-5.60, -1.77). In conclusion, the HRQOL of the elderly after a natural disaster is low and affected by several factors. To improve it, a stronger research agenda and disaster management programs that take these factors into account are required.","PeriodicalId":173108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133139781","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}
