The World Health Organization (WHO) reports 228 million cases of malaria occur worldwide and an estimated 405,000 deaths from malaria globally in 2018. A series of malaria control efforts according to WHO recommendations have been carried out widely. However, these programs face obstacles. Therefore, the existence of an effective malaria vaccine is absolutely necessary in a series of malaria control strategies. Development of a malaria vaccine requires a basic concept regarding the host's immune response to malaria. Unfortunately, only a few in Indonesia have reviewed how the immune response is. This article will present an understanding of how the human immune system responds to Plasmodium falciparum.","PeriodicalId":422504,"journal":{"name":"International Islamic Medical Journal","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131985312","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}

Congenital fetal anomalies are an important causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developed and developing countries that affect health care system. Reliable data on these congenital anomalies are still lacking, especially in Indonesia. Objective: This study aims to determine the characteristic profile of congenital fetal anomaly in single tertiary hospital in East Java, Indonesia. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional by using medical record data of dr. Soetomo General Hospital on January – December 2017. Results: There were 58 cases (4,3%) with fetal congenital anomaly from 1360 deliveries in 2017. The majority of cases were referral cases (51 cases; 88%) and only seven cases were booked cases in obstetric outpatient dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Most of these congenital fetal anomaly cases ( 25 cases / 43,1%) were born from mother with ages 20 – 30 years old. Most cases (34 cases; 58,64%) were diagnosed first at third trimester (gestational age > 28 weeks). There were 36 cases (62%) had active termination of pregnancy. Thirty eight percent (22 cases) were born at 37-42 weeks and majority were born section caesaria. The three highest proportion of organ systems involved in fetal congenital anomalies were those of abdomen (22 cases; 37,9%); head (20 cases; 34,5%); thorax and muskuloskeletal (each 12 cases; 20,7%). Conclusion: The incidence of congenital fetal anomaly in dr. Soetomo Hospital at 2017 was 4,3%. Omphalocele and CTEV were two most common types of congenital fetal anomaly found. Most cases of congenital fetal anomalies have a poor prognosis, 67% cases born died. Further research about risk factors and comprehensive database are needed on cases of congenital anomaly to establish appropriate prevention and management.","PeriodicalId":422504,"journal":{"name":"International Islamic Medical Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133866074","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}

Mitral Stenosis (MS) is a particularly high-risk condition for a pregnant woman in emerging countries, the main cause of MS is a complication from rheumatic heart disease. Objective: To study the maternal and perinatal outcome of pregnancies complicated by mitral stenosis from rheumatic heart disease. Methods: We conduct a cross-sectional retrospective study using electronic medical data records in dr. Soetomo General Hospital over the period of 3 years from 2015 – 2017 involving 36 cases of pregnant women complicated by rheumatic mitral stenosis. The maternal and perinatal outcome was reviewed. Result: Most of the pregnant women with rheumatic mitral stenosis were at 29 - 34 weeks of gestational age. Majority of the patient (61,1 %) was in NYHA II classification for heart failure degree. The Degree of MS was moderate (75 %) and severe (25 %), with a maternal mortality rate was 4/36 patients (11,1 %), and all of the patients were with severe MS had class III/IV heart failure. The main reason for hospital admission was heart failure (50 %). 38 % of women with NYHA Class III/IV had severe MS. Most accompanying valve diseases occur at the patient with severe MS, with Tricuspid Regurgitation as the most accompanying valve disease (66,67 %) followed by Mitral Regurgitation (36,11 %) and Aortic Regurgitation (25 %). Percutaneous Transmitral Valve Commissurotomy (PTMC) was the chosen surgical intervention for valve correction. For a patient with Moderate MS, 6/8 (75 %) of the pregnancy terminated at ³ 34 weeks of gestational age, compared with 18/28 (64,28 %) patient with Severe MS the pregnancy terminated at < 34 weeks of gestational age. Cesarean section was the most chosen method of delivery for most of the cases. Fetal weight (4/7 cases) at delivery for Moderate MS was > 2500 g, compared with (7/18 cases) was < 2000 g for Severe MS. APGAR Score for Moderate MS cases was 8-10 for 5/7 cases, compared with Severe MS, 16/24 cases were < 8. Conclusions: Cardiac and obstetric complications from rheumatic mitral disease remain a major challenge in this disease. Early diagnosis and management with good adherent to pre-conceptional and prenatal care remain a key factor for preventing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.","PeriodicalId":422504,"journal":{"name":"International Islamic Medical Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127128052","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}
