The Condition of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Lineages and Resistances in Indonesia
Full text linkBackground: Tuberculosis is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia ranks second worldwide in TB incidence in the country.
Content: The spread of the disease is happening across Indonesia. Each area of Indonesia had different types of lineage M. tuberculosis and TB incidence number. Drug resistance is threatening to society and it needs full attention and immediate medication to control the disease. Therefore, this paper is composed of reviews from 10 journals that reported drug resistance TB in several different locations in Indonesia using different methods available.
Conclusion: The number of TB cases and their lineages differ in each area in Indonesia, one of which is due to the availability of diagnostic tools and level of self-awareness in each area. There are reported findings of drug resistance TB in Indonesia that are concerning. Currently, many TB treatments are under development to produce the best therapy to treat the disease
Caisson Disease among Recreational Divers: Review Literature
Full text linkIntroduction: Caisson disease is one of the most common emergencies in divers with very common signs and symptoms that clinicians must be careful to identify based on a complete history and physical examination. The disease also requires immediate and definitive management, usually hyperbaric therapy for a better prognosis.
Content: This article discussed the types, pathophysiology, and management of caisson disease caused by the release of nitrogen gas bubbles into the blood or tissues during or after a pressure drop in the environment. This is a disease that can be prevented by paying attention to existing risk factors.
Summary: Caisson disease or decompression sickness is a collection of symptoms that are often encountered in archipelagic countries and can affect anyone diving for seafood or recreational activities. The symptoms are common, but by knowing the pathophysiology, clinicians can identify the disease and immediately perform therapy, thereby preventing complications such as arterial a gas embolism (AGE) so the mortality and morbidity due to caisson disease can be reduced
The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Muscle: Beneficial/Harmful
Full text linkIntroduction: Skeletal muscle produces moderate quantities of oxidant species, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), due to its contractile action, high oxygen consumption, and metabolic rate (RNS). Under normal physiological circumstances, the generation and removal of ROS/RNS are in dynamic equilibrium.
Content: The body reaches a condition of oxidative stress, however, when the oxidation products surpass the antioxidant defense capability. Increased oxidative stress has significant ramifications for the molecular, structural, and functional integrity of muscle. The release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under pathological circumstances leads to cellular dysfunction and the progression of muscle disorders.
Conclusion: The antioxidants can put ROS in optimal concentrations to perform physiological signals in muscle. At appropriate concentrations, ROS and RNS can regulate intracellular signal transduction. Thus, moderate quantities of radicals are advantageous to muscle, but high doses of ROS are harmful. The aim of this review is to know about the role of ROS in muscle
Keterlambatan Diagnosis Sindrom Turner – Penyakit Genetik Langka : Laporan Kasus
No full textTurner syndrome (TS) is a rare genetic disease that occurs only in girls and is the result of the complete or partial absence of the X chromosome. TS has often delayed diagnosis in late childhood or adolescent age and is rarely identified during the neonatal period. The clinical features are primary amenorrhea, short stature, infertility, and characteristic dysmorphic features. Late diagnosis is the main problem because early detection and appropriate management can improve the final height, sexual health and psychological development of patients. We report a case of turner syndrome in a 16-years and 4-months old female adolescent. The patient had specific clinical features of turner syndrome such as amenorrhea, absence of secondary sex growth and posture short stature since 14 years old. This case was confirmed from anamnesis, physical examination and chromosomal analysis, which demonstrated a gene karyotype of 45, X monosomy.Sindrom turner (TS) adalah penyakit genetic langka yang terjadi hanya pada anak perempuan dan merupakan akibat dari tidak adanya kromosom X secara komplit atau parsial. TS sering terlambat terdiagnosis pada akhir masa kanak-kanak atau usia remaja dan jarang teridentifikasi saat periode neonatal. Gambaran klinis adalah amenorea primer, perawakan pendek, infertilitas dan gambaran dismorfik yang khas. Keterlambatan diagnosis merupakan masalah utama karena deteksi dini dan penanganan yang tepat dapat meningkatkan tinggi badan akhir, kesehatan seksual dan perkembangan psikologis pasien. Kami melaporkan sebuah kasus sindrom turner pada seorang remaja putri berusia 16 tahun 4 bulan. Pasien memiliki gambaran klinis yang khas dari sindrom turner seperti amenorea, tidak adanya perkembangan seksual sekunder dan postur tubuh pendek sejak usia 14 tahun. Kasus ini dikonfirmasi dari anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisis, dan analisis kromosom yang menunjukkan kariotipe gen monosomi 45,
