Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges of Intra-abdominal Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis Mimicking Abscess: A Case Report
Journal ID : AMJ-30-11-2022-10859; Author : Jumiati Satrul, Sahyuddin Saleh, Andi Fachruddin Benyamin, Tutik Harjianti, Rahmawati Minhajat, Dimas Bayu,
Abstract : Desmoid tumor is a rare disease that originates from the proliferation of fibrous tissue. Intra-abdominal desmoid tumors are sporadic or associated with specific familial syndromes, such as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Syndrome (FAP). These tumors are often challenging to diagnose, and active surveillance is also essential given the high recurrence rate despite adequate treatment. We present the case of an 18-year-old female with a recurrent intra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis tumor despite surgical resection combined with radiotherapy. The recurrences are treated with anthracycline chemotherapeutic regimens. There is a diagnostic delayed due to nonspecific presentations. Immunohistochemistry assay is a cornerstone for accurate histopathological diagnosis, which guides treatment. The mainstay of treatment is surgical resection; chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a role in managing both primary and recurrent lesions.

BETA-HYDROXYBUTYRATE DEHYDROGENASE IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND ANGINA PECTORIS PATIENTS
Journal ID : AMJ-29-11-2022-10856; Author : Eman A W Al-Hyali, Mahmoud AM Fakhri,
Abstract : The research included a study of the activity of serum β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BHBDH) and some biochemical parameters for 147 heart patients (68 myocardial infarction and 79 angina pectoris). The results showed that the group of heart patients who received serum-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase increased their activity significantly (224.12 ± 0.82 U/L) compared to the control group (136.73 ± 0.95 U/L). The activity for serum β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity for the heart patients group was affected by age and sex, while it was not affected by body mass index and smoking. It also showed a significant increase in levels of haemoglobin, PCV, Glucose, Urea, GPT, GOT, TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C, MPO, LDH, CK-MB with the control group and heart patients group, while showed a significant decrease in levels for ARE, HDL-C. The results showed no significant difference was observed between serum β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity in the myocardial infarction group (225.114±1.26 U/L) and angina pectoris group (223.112±1.08U/L), while there was a significant difference in Hb, PCV, Glu, Alb, GOT, GPT, LDH, CK-MB between myocardial infarction patients group and angina pectoris patients group. A linear significant relationship was also found between serum β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity with Hb and PCV, while was a linear significant inverse relationship between serum β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity with LDL-C, T.C and T.G in the group of heart patients.

Study of serum magnesium, potassium and calcium in acute myocardial infarction patients
Journal ID : AMJ-29-11-2022-10854; Author : Dr Shaik Sajeed, Dr Nagaraj,
Abstract : A myocardial infarction happens when blood flow stops or decreases to the coronary arteries of the myocardial muscle, resulting in damage to the heart muscle. Magnesium is important electrolyte plays vital role in suppressing arrhythmias during myocardial ischemia and during reperfusion. Potassium is the most abundant cation of intracellular fluid. A significant correlation between hypokalemia and ventricular fibrillation is recorded. Calcium plays a vital role in myocardial muscle contraction. Aim of this study is to study serum levels of magnesium, potassium and calcium in acute myocardial infarction patients. This was a prospective case control study conducted in Prathima Institute of medical sciences Nagunur, Karimnagar, Telangana state, India between January 2015 to December 2015. A total 50 acute myocardial infarction patients and 50 normal age and sex matched healthy controls selected for study. Serum magnesium estimated by colorimetric xylidyl blue complex method, serum potassium estimated by ion selective electrode method and serum calcium by OCPC method. Statistical analysis carried out using statistical software SPSS version 16 and p-value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Serum levels of magnesium, potassium and calcium were significantly decreased in acute myocardial infarction patients when compared healthy controls and is statistically significant (<0.05). The above study suggested decreased serum level of key elements such as magnesium, potassium and calcium in acute myocardial infarction patients when compared to healthy controls. Estimation and correction of these elements may play a pivotal role in management of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Strengthening Hospital Classification Regulations on Service Quality and Patient Safety That Are Equitable in Realizing
Journal ID : AMJ-29-11-2022-10853; Author : Arif Rahman Sadad,
Abstract : Maximum service quality and patient safety in hospitals have become global issues today. The government through the Ministry of Health is responsible for public health, where this is in accordance with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution article 28 H, it is stated that everyone has the right to health services, gets facilities and special treatment to get the same opportunities and benefits, is entitled to health services. social security that allows his full self-development as a dignified human being. Talking about health services in hospitals, it certainly cannot be separated from the issue of Quality and Patient Safety. There are external and internal factors that trigger Patient Safety Incidents in hospitals. Problems Why Patient Safety Incidents still occur in hospitals, b. How is the regulation of hospital classification for quality and patient safety at this time and c. How to strengthen hospital classification regulations for fair quality and patient safety. The research method uses an empirical juridical approach (sociological juridical), analyzed qualitatively, with a constructivism paradigm, emphasizing the regulation of hospital classification on service quality and patient safety in hospitals. The results of this study indicate that patient safety incidents still occur in hospitals caused by internal factors (hospital HR competencies) and external factors in the form of: the nature of work, organizational and management environmental factors as well as physical and workplace environmental factors including various regulations related to with patient safety, one of which is the regulation on hospital classification. The current hospital classification regulation still has many weaknesses, where the hospital classification requirements contained in the attachment to the hospital classification regulation which are an integral part of the regulation are very loose which has the potential to decrease the quality of services and the occurrence of patient safety incidents in hospitals. The strengthening of hospital classification regulations is required in the attachment of Government Regulation No. 47 of 2021 on the requirements that must exist in the competency standards of outpatient services, both specialist outpatients for all hospital classes and subspecialty for class A and B hospitals, inpatient services for all hospital class, competency standards for human resources for specialist medical personnel for all hospital classes and sub-specialists for class A and B hospitals as well as other health workers for all hospital classes as well as competency standards for infrastructure, especially for the availability of HCU (High Care Unit) rooms.), medical rehabilitation and morgue for all hospital classes. Recommendations for the government as policy makers should be in drafting a regulation that must be in harmony between its contents and attachments. Hospital owners should continue to prioritize service quality and patient safety in providing their services. The community also plays an active role in voicing the quality of service and patient safety in hospitals.

Correlation of Population Density, Houseold Density and Larvae-Free Index With Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Incidence Rate
Journal ID : AMJ-29-11-2022-10852; Author : Krisna Delita, Nurhayati Damiri, Rico Januar Sitorus, Poedji Loekitowati Hariani,
Abstract : Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is still a health problem in Indonesia, Palembang City, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia is one of the DHF endemic cities in Indonesia is a densely populated city and environmental conditions support vector development. Mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector in the transmission of DHF. This study aims to analyze the relationship between population, population density, occupancy density and free larvae index on cases of fever and incidence of bleeding in Palembang City and can be used as a basis for DHF control in Palembang City. This study is an analytic epidemiological study with a cross-sectional design. The independent factors are population, population density, occupancy density and larvae free rate, while the dependent variable is dengue fever cases. The results of the study population, population density significantly and positively correlated with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever. Meanwhile, the larvae free number has a significant effect and has a negative correlation. Population, population density and mosquito-free rate significantly affect the incidence of dengue fever in Palembang City. Population density, urban and settlement problems can be attributed to the high incidence of dengue fever indicating that population problems should be considered in every plan and assessment of urban and settlement development by the government and the private sector. DHF prevention and control programs will probably work efficiently if demographic issues, environmental conditions, and parameters free larvae index integrated into one system that analyzes and maps the distribution of DHF cases.

Use of technology by nursing staff
Journal ID : AMJ-28-11-2022-10849; Author : Edra Fresku, Julian Kraja, Erjona Abazaj,
Abstract : The purpose of this study was to collect information about the perceptions and knowledge of nurses regarding the use of health technology in Health Institutions in the Municipality of Shkodra. Cross-sectional methods were used, following a quantitative approach. The study assessed the following components: nurses' perceptions and willingness about information technology, and how these nurses were prepared to use information technology as a good opportunity to improve health care. The persons who participated in this study were nurses of the Shkodra Regional Hospital and the health centers of the Municipality of Shkodra. A focus group was used for this purpose. The study included 63% nurses in regional hospitals and 37% nurses in health centers. All data were obtained during the period February - March 2022. The demographic of the nurses' findings showed that there was a high proportion of female users 63.9% and that the majority of the participants were between 22 and 40 years of age 61.4%. Furthermore, 63.9% of the survey respondents were female. Overall, the seniority characteristics of nurses resulted in a majority of the participants 27.6% having 1 to 5 years of job experience, Meantime the composite reliability and Cronbach α were all greater than 0.7, indicating “acceptable” and “good” convergence validity and internal consistency overall. Additionally, the majority of the nursing staff have a positive opinion of the use of technology, but technology applications are low among them. In general, the outcomes of the nurses in this study indicate an overall positive attitude toward technology. Most of them accept the use of technology during their work regardless of age, gender, or years of nursing experience. However, participants' findings of formal education in the use of technology applications are low. This shortcoming should be addressed through the enhancement of the nursing curriculum and training over time. The need for nurses to be well prepared for the use and application of information technology in nursing and future new technologies should be paramount.

Accuracy of The Single Beat Method for Assessment of Mitral Valve Stenosis Severity in Atrial Fibrillation
Journal ID : AMJ-28-11-2022-10848; Author : Tengku Winda Ardini, Amiliana Mardiani Soesanto, Rina Ariani, Estu Rudiktyo, Ario Soeryo Kuncoro,
Abstract : In mitral stenosis (MS) patients, determining stenosis severity in atrial fibrillation (AF) is time-consuming by averaging measurement by multiple cardiac cycles. Whether a single beat method can be used to measure the mitral valve area (MVA) and transmitral gradient for stenosis severity assessment in AF is still uncertain. Forty-eight MS patients with AF (mean age 46.8+8.6 years) underwent routine echocardiographic study. The MVA by pressure half time (PHT) and transmitral mean gradient were measured by four methods: the standard approach (averaging multiple beats), single short R-R cycle, single long R-R cycle, and single beat RRp/RRpp = 1. 2D and 3D planimetry MVA were measured at the mitral orifice. The single beat RRp/RRpp = 1 showed no significant difference in MVA PHT measurement compared with standard approach (0.8 (0.3 – 2.7 vs 0.9 + 0.3 cm2) cm2, P = 0.472), whereas there was a significant difference in MVA by PHT when short R-R cycle (1.0 (0.4 – 2.7) cm2, P = 0.0001) and long R-R cycle (0.8 (0.3 – 1.7) cm2, P = 0.013) were selected. There was a significant difference in mean MVG measurement when short R-R cycle (12.1 + 3.9 mmHg, P = 0.001), long R-R cycle (10.1 + 4.0 mmHg, P = 0.007), and single beat RRp/RRpp = 1 (12.2 + 4.4 mmHg, P = 0.0001) were selected. Correlation coefficients for MVA PHT calculated by single beat RRp/RRpp = 1 compared with MVA PHT measured by standard approach are r = 0.87 (P < 0.001). There is weak correlation in measurement MVA between PHT single beat RRp/RRpp = 1 and 3D planimetry (r = 0.316, P = 0.044). In AF, the single beat method RRp/RRpp = 1 for measurement MVA by PHT in MS has a high correlation with the current standard approach by averaging multiple beats. Compared with MVA by 3D planimetry as the reference measurement of MVA, measurement of MVA by PHT standard approach and single beat RRp/RRpp = 1 have a weak correlation in AF patients. MVA by planimetry especially 3D planimetry, is considered as a reference measurement, but MVA by PHT single beat RRp/RRpp =1 can be an alternative, especially when MVA by planimetry is not feasible.

Journal ID : AMJ-27-11-2022-10846; Author : Omalbaneen Majid, Neihaya Heikmat Zaki,
Abstract : Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria were isolated from different sources; urine, blood, burns and wound swab, sputum, ear swabs, fluid, pus, endotracheal swabs, CSF and abscess of biopsy as (37, 24, 16, 9, 4, 3, 3, 2, and 1) % respectively. It showed different levels of antibiotic resistance with highest level of resistance against Ampicillin (100 %), also it showed that 53.13% of isolates were positive and 46.87% were negative for producing of β-lactamase. Biosynthesized Ag-NPs has inhibitory action (MIC) against K. pneumoniae with concentration 10 mM and sub- MIC with concentration 5mM. XRD spectrum of silver nanoparticles exhibited at 2ø (32.5°) corresponds to the (101) plane of conventional XRD data of Ag- NPs Crystals, while FTIR analysis was showed that stretch for Ag-NPs discovered around 518.58 cm-1. All isolates (100%) were positive to htrA, entB, blaCTX, and blaTEM before treatment with silver nanoparticles, but genes of htrA, entB, and blaTEM disappeared in the isolate no.1 after treatment with Ag-NPs at concentration (5mM). After gene sequence, the results have shown that before treatment with AgNPs, htrA, entB, blaCTX, and blaTEM genes were identical (100%) with NCBI, while after treatment with AgNPs in concentration (5 and 10) mM these genes were not affected.
