Inclusion criteria included healthy rats aged 8 weeks or older, with normal blood pressure and weight, while exclusion criteria included sick, deceased, or prematurely birthing rats, and those with high blood pressure. Treatment, administered over six days from gestational days 13-18, involved L-NAME and nano-curcumin injections. Groups included K- (no treatment) and K+, P1, P2, P3, and P4 (treated with L-NAME and varying nano-curcumin doses). Blood pressure and proteinuria were evaluated on gestation days 12, 15, and 19 to confirm the preeclampsia model and assess nano-curcumin's effect on proteinuria. Urine collected over 24 hours in metabolic cages preceded rat termination. Data analysis utilized IBM SPSS version 23, including the Shapiro-Wilk test, parametric independent sample t-tests, One-Way ANOVA tests, and LSD post-hoc tests to identify group differences. \u0000Results: The results of this study showed that nano-curcumin had the effect of reducing proteinuria in white rats with preeclampsia. The significant results of the One-Way Anova test was p=0.001 <0.05 and the LSD post-hoc test revealed that an effective dose was 25 mg/ml. It was found that higher nano-curcumin dose had a higher average of proteinuria.\u0000Conclusion: Nano-curcumin can affect proteinuria in preeclampsia. The most effective dose is 25 mg/ml.","PeriodicalId":512701,"journal":{"name":"Majalah Obstetri & Ginekologi","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140767336","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}

There are many types of uterine myomas. These tumors can grow on the outer wall of the uterus, on the uterine muscle, or it can also be on the inner wall of the uterus. The most frequent kind of uterine tumor is myoma. Uterine myoma mostly occurs in women over thirty years of age. Its prevalence ranges from 5.4% to 77%, with uterine fibroids accounting for up to 5% of pregnancies. The myomectomy procedure is an option for women who still want children but are concerned about the possibility of subsequent surgical intervention. The myomectomy cesarean section is indicated if there were complications related to the myoma in a previous pregnancy. It also avoids the possibility of repeat laparotomy for fibroid removal in the future. Myomectomy surgery should be planned based on fibroids' location, size, and quantity, using suitable imaging. Myomectomy cesarean section can be an option compared to cesarean section without myomectomy, especially if it is performed by experienced surgeons with proper hemostatic techniques and performed in tertiary-level health facilities. This study will discuss the details of the benefits and safety of myomectomy during cesarean section so that it might be considered before performing this procedure.","PeriodicalId":512701,"journal":{"name":"Majalah Obstetri & Ginekologi","volume":"163 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140782719","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}

Timely detection is crucial for preventing maternal deaths, necessitating integrated planning. The \"Kartu Skor Poedji Rochjati\" (KSPR) emerges as a vital tool for identifying high-risk pregnancies, facilitating urgent referrals to mitigate complications and enhance healthcare. A literature review on maternal mortality, risk assessment tools, and KSPR effectiveness will be conducted to address the issues. The findings are expected to highlight KSPR's pivotal role in identifying at-risk pregnant women, enabling prompt referrals, and reducing maternal mortality rates. Case studies and data analysis will enrich our understanding of the tool's impact on maternal healthcare. The apex of public health involves embracing health-conscious lifestyles, reflected in indicators like mortality and morbidity. Proactively identifying high-risk pregnancies using KSPR is a strategic step in averting maternal mortality. Leveraging KSPR allows early intervention, reducing complications and contributing to enhanced maternal health, aligning with the goal of minimizing mortality risks.","PeriodicalId":512701,"journal":{"name":"Majalah Obstetri & Ginekologi","volume":"130 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140797319","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 patient was admitted to the tertiary hospital with suspected malignant vaginal tumor and underwent a biopsy, which revealed leiomyoma on pathological examination. Despite conservative treatment, the mass continued to grow, unaffected by the menstrual cycle, causing discomfort. Following a second hospital admission, the patient underwent surgical management of extirpation and vaginal reconstruction. The microscopic finding of the tumor showed myositis cell proliferation with hyperplastic growth, monotonous nuclei, and variable cell shapes, supporting the diagnosis of vaginal leiomyoma. During postoperative monitoring, there was no vaginal bleeding. Thereafter, on the day following surgery, it was found that the right labium major was swollen. This was treated with anticoagulants, topical NSAIDs, and a sitz bath. The patient was discharged from the hospital in good condition and had an uneventful postoperative recovery.\u0000Conclusion: Although the incidence of vaginal leiomyoma is uncommon, precise early diagnosis and appropriate management might improve outcomes, particularly in rural areas.","PeriodicalId":512701,"journal":{"name":"Majalah Obstetri & Ginekologi","volume":"66 52","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140795170","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}

Ultrasound results showed intrauterine monochorionic monoamniotic twins with babies fused on their heads to the urogenital part. The MRI showed a craniopagus, suspected meningomyelocele, and severe bilateral hydronephrosis in the second baby. Due to non-separable cases and a bad prognosis for the fetus, the pregnancy was terminated using misoprostol induction and inserting a balloon catheter. The fetus is born weighing 400 g and 20 cm in length. Conjoined twins obtained the rostral type: a fused head with two faces, a fused thorax until the lower abdomen with one umbilicus, and two pairs of hands and feet.
