A Review Article: Clean Water Contamination as a Risk Factor for Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Full text linkIntroduction: Infectious keratitis is one of the main causes of visual impairment. The incidence of acanthamoeba keratitis is relatively rare, while the prevalence is around 1 to 9 cases per 100.000. One of the factors supporting the occurrence of acanthamoeba keratitis is the increasing use of contact lenses around the world.
Content: When there is microtrauma to the cornea, it can cause the expression of the mannose on the surface. With the emergence of mannose in the form of glycoproteins, it will be a requirement for the attachment of Acanthamoeba spp.
Conclusion: Keratitis Acanthamoeba is an infectious disease of the cornea due to the use of contact lenses that are too long exposed to water which causes the entry of Acanthamoeba. This disease has a good prognosis with immediate drug administration within the first 3 weeks after the onset of symptoms.Infeksi keratitis merupakan salah satu penyebab utama terjadinya gangguan penglihatan. Keratitis merupakan penyebab utama kekeruhan pada kornea. Penyebab utama keratitis di negara berkembang disebabkan oleh trauma okular yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan.

McCune-Albright Syndrome: A-rare-case report
Full text linkMcCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare genetic disordered originally recognized by the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, precocious puberty, and cafe-au-late spots. We report a case of 2 years-11-month-old girl who came with complaints of menstruation 5 days ago. Breasts appear enlarged. On physical examination, it appears that the café au lait region of the abdomen and left femur resembles the "coast of Maine". There was an increase in the levels of FT4, estradiol, and alkaline phosphatase, and low TSHs, LH, and FSH levels. The radiological examination of the bones of the left hand corresponded to the bone age of 6 years. Bone survey photo showing multiple lytic and blastic lesions in the proximal 1/3 of the left femur. We are monitoring this patient, and planning to administer Tamoxifen and Zoledronic acid. Tamoxifen (an estrogen agonist/antagonist) or Letrozole (an aromatase inhibitor) have been used for the management of precocious puberty and rapid bone maturation. Despite differing in presentation, all patients with precocious puberty were successfully treated with Tamoxifen and/or Letrozole, to emphasize the significant progress of bone age. A systematic approach to diagnosis and management is essential to optimize outcomes for patients with MAS, especially with fibrous dysplasia. No medical therapy is able to change the course of the disease in fibrous dysplasia. However, screening and treatment for endocrinopathy can reduce some bone morbidities
Glaucoma Risk Factors
Full text linkBackground: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness for over 70 million people worldwide. Bilateral blindness occurs with an estimated 10%. In Indonesia, the prevalence of glaucoma is 0,46%. That means, that 4 to 5 out of 1.000 people suffer from glaucoma.
Content: The aim of this study was to analyze four risk factors that can affect the occurrence of glaucoma, namely age factor with diabetes and hypertension history, gender, family medical history, and race. This research used a literature review from 20 journals containing four risk factors for glaucoma. The results showed that diabetes and hypertension are often found in the elderly and that glaucoma symptoms can be exacerbated by increased intraocular pressure. Moreover, glaucoma patient with a positive family medical history of glaucoma has a higher value of intraocular pressure than glaucoma patients without a positive family medical history of glaucoma. Other results showed that men are more at risk because they have a different axial length than women, and Asians are considered riskier than Europeans because Asians’ awareness of eye health is very low.
Conclusion: Based on the review, four risk factors could greatly affect the occurrence of glaucoma
