Sepsis and septic shock are major health problems, affecting millions of people worldwide each year and killing one in six people affected. Early identification and appropriate management in the early hours after the development of sepsis improves the patient's prognosis. Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) 2021 recommends a fluid dose of 30mL/kgBW, but there are many studies stating that there is no difference in patient outcomes when we resuscitate patients with 10 or 20 mL/kgBW fluids. Norepinephrine is considered as the safest and most potent vasopressor agents than others. \u0000Methods: This study used a double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) design to assess MAP in sepsis patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of Haji Adam Malik General Hospital ,Medan. \u0000Results: There were more male (56.5%), than female (43.5%). In our study, administration of 10mL/kg and 20mL/kg fluid bolus with vasopressor resulted in increased MAP, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Administration of 10 mL/kg fluid gave higher MAP values than the other groups, could be a consideration in choosing fluid in order to avoid fluid overload. \u0000Conclusion: There is a significant comparison in the ratio of norepinephrine pre-loading fluid toward MAP in sepsis patients. Comparison of the mean MAP value at 15, 20, 25 minutes was the highest in the 10 mL/KgBW group. Meanwhile, the lowest MAP was found in 30mL/KgBW the group.","PeriodicalId":370087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Society Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129769449","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}

Many studies have been conducted to prevent AKI and find biomarkers to predict AKI. Many studies have identified biomarkers of AKI, such as neutrophil-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, interleukin-18, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2). Yet few have investigated the role of PCT as a predictor of AKI. The pathophysiological mechanisms that explain the association between serum PCT and AKI remain unclear. Various inflammatory responses are thought to play a role in the AKI development. PCT acts as a chemoattractant in the inflammation area and causes more monocytes to invade the inflammation. PCT is initially produced in adherent monocytes and then contributes to an increase in circulating PCT by attracting parenchymal cells as they attach directly to activated monocytes. High PCT levels ultimately act as a direct chemoattractant to monocyte counts.","PeriodicalId":370087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Society Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128657955","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}

So far, Covid-19 tends to infect people who have comorbid diseases such as heart disease, diabetes mellitus, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases as well as people over 60 years of age. Several cases of Covid-19 have also been reported in pregnant women. \u0000Method: Radiographic technologies and tools including chest X-Ray and Computed Tomography (CT) are applied for initial screening and the follow-up because they provide detailed diagnoses with specific pathological features for staging and treatment settings. Not infrequently cases of Covid-19 are found in pregnant women because during pregnancy women’s condition becomes very vulnerable to infection with pneumonia pathogens due to physiological changes during pregnancy that result in a decrease in the immune system. Although the clinical symptoms are the same as for non-pregnant women and there are no aggravating factors, pregnant women are prone to hypoxia. \u0000Results: Chest x-ray (CXR) is a radiographic projection tool that can help diagnose conditions or abnormalities in the thoracic cavity. Due to the spread of Covid-19, it is important to recognize the common Covid-19 imaging findings and the abnormal pneumonia that occurs over time on CXR results. CXR can be used to diagnose patients with acute respiratory distress as the first line of evaluation for Covid-19 patients 19. \u0000Conclusion: CXR can be a screening modality in Covid-19 patients including pregnant women. However, it is necessary to keep in mind that the CXR examination can have an impact on the fetus. Even though the risk is small, pregnant women who will undergo a Covid-19 examination or evaluation need special attention. In addition, it is necessary to consider other examinations that can be carried out especially on pregnant women, which do not have the effect of radiation","PeriodicalId":370087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Society Medicine","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125457751","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}

Cupping is divided into two types, that’s wet cupping and dry cupping. Dry cupping includes slide cupping, fire cupping, and pull cupping. The difference between wet cupping and dry cupping is the presence or absence of blood. Cupping is an alternative method that involves placing a cup on the skin using heat or suction for a few minutes. This will pull the tissue under the skin and form a blood pool so that a localized healing process occurs. Cupping is very beneficial for these patients although the benefits may not be felt in the short term. The side effects caused by cupping are not severe, only cause discomfort due to cupped and incision on the skin. Cupping plays a role in reducing inflammatory mediators formed due to cell inflammation. This substance serves to send pain signals to the brain. Cupping can be used for diseases that are local or systemic. Cupping can be used to reduce pain such as headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome and some other local disease.","PeriodicalId":370087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Society Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124096330","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}

Thiamine acts as an essential nutrition funtionate as cofactor enzyme in most of mitochondria in brain. Brain is very susceptible to thiamine deficiency because its dependency on mitochondrial ATP production. Decreased ATP production result in inhibition of COMT activity.
