Case Report: Diagnosis and Management of Pin-Headscarf at The Bronchial Segment In RSUP Dr. M Djamil Padang
No full textIntroduction: Foreign body aspiration into the airway is a common case in children. Scarf pin aspiration often occurs in women who wear the hijab. A bronchoscopy is an option in the management of foreign body aspiration cases. However, other treatments such as thoracotomy can be considered, if the management of foreign body aspiration fails using rigid bronchoscopy. Case Report: Reported one case of a 12-year-old girl who complained of inhaling scarf pin 1 day before being admitted to hospital. Chest X-ray found radiopaque foreign body projection as high as spatium intercostal V with right lower lobe projection. The patient was diagnosed with foreign body pin scarf et right bronchus and was treated with a rigid bronchoscopy but it was not successfully extracted, one and a half months later the patient was performed Video-assisted thoracic surgery but failed to re-extract, then the foreign bodies were successfully extracted after the thoracotomy. Conclusion: Migration of pins into the bronchial segments as high as spatium intercostal V projections right lower lobe and left lower lobe will be difficult to locate and extract with rigid bronchoscopy. Thoracotomy is further management for scarf pin aspiration that fails to be treated by rigid bronchoscopy.

Sexism and Attitude Toward Reporting of Child Sexual Abuse: a cross sectional study among teachers in Bali
Full text linkLong-standing sexism in the Balinese community, based on its traditional paternalistic culture, may become the main factor to underlie children's vulnerability for abuse. School teachers, considering their regularity to interact with children in schools, might play a significant role in early detection and intervention of such cases. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study by sampling Junior High School teachers in Denpasar as an initial effort to analyze the correlations between sexism and attitude toward reporting of child sexual abuse in Bali. Subjects were requested to complete the questionnaires Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) and a Teachers’ Reporting Attitude Scale for Child Sexual Abuse (TRAS – CSA). The two scales were then analyzed for correlations. The score of ASI Hostile sexism (HS) domain was inversely correlated with total TRAS-CSA, while a positive correlation was found between total TRAS-CSA score and total ASI Benevolent Sexism (BS) domain score for Paternalism subdomain. This research also pointed to the tendency of the Balinese sample to conduct the practice of benevolent sexism instead of hostile sexism. In correlation with teachers’ reporting for sexual abuse, cautions should be taken for possible inadequate reporting that might potentially lead to the chronicity of the abuse.
