Journal ID : AMJ-06-03-2023-11297; Author : Hummatov, A.F, Abbasov, A.H, Shirinova, X.N, Ismayilov, A.N, Gapagov, F.M,
Abstract :

To study the frequency of postoperative complications after thyroid surgery indicated for various benign and malignant lesions and to corroborate the results in relation to the extent of surgery and a clinical overview of evolution of thyroid surgery. An analytical study was carried out at a tertiary care center over a period of 3 years from January 2011 to December 2013. Data were collected from 80 patients who underwent thyroidectomies for various thyroid diseases at this center. Hemithyroidectomy, isthmusectomy, subtotal, neartotal, and total thyroidectomies were performed in 36 (45%), 6 (7.5%), 8 (10%), 10 (12.5%), and 20 (25%) cases respectively. The overall postoperative complication rate was 20%. Postoperative hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were the most common complications. Permanent hypocalcemia and permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were observed in 3.75 and 2.5% of all operated cases respectively. The less common complications were wound hematoma, seroma formation, and superior laryngeal nerve injury. There was no mortality observed in our series. The overall complication rate can be minimized by operating in a bloodless field, doing a meticulous dissection, and correctly identifying and preserving recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves along with parathyroid glands, if feasible.

Journal ID : AMJ-06-03-2023-11294; Author : Leni Rizki Dalimunthe, Olga Rasiyanti Siregar, Tina Christina L. Tobing,
Abstract : Hemolysis and regular blood transfusions as the long-term beta thalassemia major treatment can cause iron accumulation and damages these organs, potentially causing death. Iron accumulation in the heart muscle decreases ventricular function and may progress to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Serum ferritin concentration can determines iron stores in the body. Heart failure can be indicated by cardiac markers, such as troponin. This research was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted to observe the relationship between serum ferritin and troponin I levels in children with beta thalassemia major receiving blood transfusion, particularly at Haji Adam Malik hospital, Medan, Indonesia. Univariate analysis was used to asess the mean levels of serum ferritin and troponin I. Bivartiate analysis was used to assess the relationship between serum ferritin level and troponin I level, where Pearson correlation test for normal distribution data or Spearman correlation test for abnormal data distribution. The mean serum ferritin level was 7233.26 ng/mL. The majority of the research subjects had serum ferritin level above 1000 ng/ml. There was only 1 child (1.5%) with serum ferritin level below 1000 ng/mL. The mean troponin I level was 5.97 ng/mL. Almost two third (41 / 62.1%) of the research subjects had troponin I level above 0.8 ng/mL, while the remaining research subjects (25 / 37.9%) had troponin I level below 0.8 ng/mL. There was a significant relationship between serum ferritin level and troponin I level in children with beta thalassemia major at Haji Adam Malik hospital, Medan, Indonesia (p <0.001).

Journal ID : AMJ-05-03-2023-11292; Author : Muhammad Rizki Yaznil, Gema Nazri Yanni, Nafi Yannis,
Abstract : Muscle pain is the most common ergonomic complication due to the use of trolleys. Trolleys with a hydraulic system can reduce complaints of muscle pain experienced by hospital laundry staff. The study aimed to add a hydraulic system to the hospital laundry trolley to reduce complaints of muscle pain and to add hand hygiene facilities in the form of hand drubs, and glove containers to avoid cross-infection when transporting linen. The study was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The 7 respondents involved in this study were determined by total sampling. Data were collected using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire before using the hydraulic system trolley and 1 month after using it. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. The results showed that the use of a hydraulic system trolley was effective in reducing muscle pain in complaints of slight aches and pains (p<0.05) and less effective in complaints of very pain if the respondent had comorbid complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (p=0.38 where p>0.05). The Linen-Laundry Unit can use a hydraulic system trolley to reduce muscle pain in linen management which includes collecting dirty linen, transporting linen, and distributing clean linen.

Abstract : Malaria is one of the parasitic infectious diseases that is still a public health problem, including in Indonesia. Southwest Sumba District in NTT Province has been classified as a high endemic malaria area with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHP) as an antimalarial since 2004. One of the problems in malaria elimination has been the treatment failure due to plasmodium resistance to antimalarial drugs. This research was conducted in January-December 2019 in the North Kodi sub-district, Southwest Sumba District, NTT Province. This study used the prospective cohort design to determine the efficacy of DHP in people with uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Two hundred thirty-three patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria were enrolled in the study. The treatment failure was 3.9% (95% CI: 1.3-10.8), categorized as 3% ETF and 0.9% LPF. Ten patients (4.3%) were still positive on day-2. The patients still positive for malaria falciparum can be found until day-21. There is no correlation between the number of parasites and body temperature on day 0 (r =-0.0352,p-value = 0.595). The PCR uncorrected on day-42 ACPR was 96.1% (95%CI: 92.8-98.2). The results confirmed that the efficacy of DHP is still in accordance with WHO criteria and can still be used as malaria therapy in Southwest Sumba Regency. This study add information on the Efficacy of DHP from another high malaria-endemic area in Indonesia. Information on the Efficacy of DHP outside Papua is limited, and the result of this study can add information to the policy on malaria treatment in Indonesia.

Journal ID : AMJ-05-03-2023-11284; Author : Zeyad Khalaf Maded, Dr. Nada Yahya Awwad, prof. Dr. Nihad Khalawe Tektook, Yasir Ayad Khallawi,
Abstract : Hypocalcemia is the most common complication after thyroidectomy operations. Our aim in this study is to investigate the relationship between hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and serum vitamin D levels. The study included of 100 consecutive patients who underwent total thyroidectomy. Patients had preoperative vitamin D levels <20 ng/ml [Group 1; n=50] and >20 ng/ml [Group 2; n=50] were divided into 2 groups. Groups were compared according to age, preoperative and postoperative corrected calcium and PTH levels. The mean vitamin D level was 12.4±3.8 ng/ml in group 1 and 31.2±7.5 ng/ml in group 2, and the vitamin D level was found to be significantly lower in group 1 compared to group 2 (p=0.0013). Preoperative serum Ca levels were found to be approximately the same in Group 1 and Group 2. When group 1 and group 2 were compared in terms of preoperative PTH values, mean serum PTH level (59.36±11.6 pg/ml) in group 1 was found to be significantly higher than group 2 (46.47±10.5 pg/ml) (p=0.001). In the postoperative period, the serum calcium level was below 8.5 mg/dl in 65 patients, and the postoperative hypocalcemia rate was 65%. The mean serum PTH levels after thyroidectomy were 59.12±8.66 pg/ml in all patient groups, and these values were significantly lower than the preoperative values (85.33±9.33 pg/ml) (p< 0.0001). When hypocalcemic and normocalcemic groups were compared, statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of preoperative vitamin D levels (13.65±6.8 ng/ml vs 18.54±8.5 ng/ml, p=0.001). In our retrospective study, no significant effect of pre-surgery vitamin D deficiency on hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy was found.
