Orbital cellulitis is an extremely rare but potentially lethal condition in neonates. The clinical presentation of neonatal orbital cellulitis can be non-specific, and minimal signs of periorbital inflammation may go unrecognised by inexperienced parents or primary care medical personnel, leading to delayed treatment. Herein, we present a case series describing ophthalmia neonatorum complicated with neonatal orbital cellulitis owing to delayed treatment. The clinical presentation, management and outcomes are described. One neonate had orbital cellulitis, while the other had impending orbital cellulitis, with both cases resulting from delayed treatment of ophthalmia neonatorum. Both neonates were hospitalised for systemic antibiotic treatment and fully recovered with good outcomes. Timely identification and treatment of ophthalmia neonatorum are critical to mitigate potential severe sequelae, such as neonatal orbital cellulitis.

眼眶蜂窝织炎在新生儿中极为罕见,但却可能致命。新生儿眼眶蜂窝织炎的临床表现可能是非特异性的,缺乏经验的家长或基层医务人员可能无法识别眶周炎症的微小迹象,从而导致治疗延误。在此,我们介绍了一例由于延误治疗而导致新生儿眼炎并发新生儿眼眶蜂窝织炎的系列病例。文中描述了临床表现、处理和结果。一名新生儿患有眼眶蜂窝织炎,另一名患有即将发生的眼眶蜂窝织炎,两个病例都是由于新生儿眼炎治疗延误所致。两名新生儿都住院接受了全身抗生素治疗,并完全康复,疗效良好。及时发现和治疗新生儿眼炎对减轻潜在的严重后遗症(如新生儿眼眶蜂窝织炎)至关重要。

Introduction: During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, there was a widespread public misconception regarding ivermectin use in managing the disease. There is no approval of ivermectin as COVID-19 treatment by the Food and Drug Administration, and the adverse effects of the drug are alarming. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards and prevalence of ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment among the Malaysian population.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 391 Malaysians aged ≥18 years. A validated online self-administered questionnaire disseminated via Google Forms was used to evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards and prevalence of ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment. The socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge and attitude towards and prevalence of ivermectin use among the respondents were evaluated through descriptive analysis. The chi-square test was used to identify the association between the variables.

Results: The respondents had moderate levels of knowledge and attitude towards ivermectin use, while the prevalence of ivermectin use was 3.58%. The respondents' sex (P=0.014), age (P=0.012) and monthly income (P=0.049) were significantly associated with their level of knowledge. The respondents' sex (P=0.04) was significantly associated with their level of attitude. Conversely, no socio-demographic characteristics were significantly associated with the prevalence of ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment.

Conclusion: The majority of Malaysians have moderate levels of knowledge and attitude towards ivermectin use as COVID-19 treatment, with a low prevalence of actual use.

导言:在冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间,公众对使用伊维菌素治疗该病普遍存在误解。美国食品和药物管理局尚未批准将伊维菌素作为治疗 COVID-19 的药物,而且该药物的不良反应令人担忧。本研究旨在评估马来西亚人口对伊维菌素作为COVID-19治疗药物的认识、态度和使用率:这项横断面研究的对象是 391 名年龄≥18 岁的马来西亚人。通过谷歌表格发布了一份经过验证的在线自填问卷,用于评估人们对伊维菌素作为COVID-19治疗药物的认识、态度和使用率。通过描述性分析评估了受访者的社会人口学特征、对伊维菌素使用的知识、态度和流行程度。采用卡方检验确定变量之间的关联:受访者对使用伊维菌素的知识和态度处于中等水平,伊维菌素的使用率为 3.58%。受访者的性别(P=0.014)、年龄(P=0.012)和月收入(P=0.049)与其知识水平显著相关。受访者的性别(P=0.04)与他们的态度水平明显相关。相反,社会人口学特征与使用伊维菌素作为COVID-19治疗方法的普及率无明显关联:结论:大多数马来西亚人对使用伊维菌素作为COVID-19治疗方法的认识和态度处于中等水平,但实际使用率较低。

Introduction: Diabetes is closely linked to cardiovascular diseases, with diabetic dyslipidaemia serving as an established marker of the acceleration of complications, contributing to an increased cardiovascular risk among patients. Timely detection and early characterization of lipid abnormalities can help clinicians in implementing effective preventive measures. This study aimed to determine the patterns and associated factors of dyslipidaemia among Malaysian subjects with borderline diabetes. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among subjects with borderline diabetes aged ≥18 years who visited a primary healthcare centre at Universiti Sains Malaysia from January 2017 to December 2018. Sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data were obtained from electronic medical records. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25. Results: A total of 250 participants with borderline diabetes were included in the analysis. Of them, 93.6% (n=234) had lipid abnormalities. Isolated dyslipidaemia characterised by a high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level (38.8%, n=97) was the most common pattern found, followed by combined dyslipidaemia of high LDL-C and triglyceride (TG) levels (22.8%, n=57). The male sex was found to be significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.09–3.1)(P=0.02). Diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg was significantly associated with a low HDL-C level (AOR=2.09, 95% CI=1.0–4.1) (P=0.03). Conclusion: The majority of subjects with borderline diabetes have lipid abnormalities. Specifically, isolated dyslipidaemia characterised by a high LDL-C level is alarmingly prevalent. Further large-scale robust studies are needed to confirm the present findings.
导言:糖尿病与心血管疾病密切相关,糖尿病血脂异常是加速并发症的既定标志,会增加患者的心血管风险。及时发现并及早确定血脂异常的特征有助于临床医生采取有效的预防措施。本研究旨在确定马来西亚边缘糖尿病患者血脂异常的模式和相关因素。研究方法本研究对2017年1月至2018年12月期间到马来西亚理科大学初级医疗保健中心就诊的年龄≥18岁的边缘型糖尿病患者进行了回顾性研究。社会人口学、临床和实验室数据均来自电子病历。数据使用SPSS 25版进行分析。结果:共有250名边缘糖尿病患者参与分析。其中,93.6%(234 人)有血脂异常。以低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)水平高(38.8%,n=97)为特征的孤立性血脂异常是最常见的模式,其次是低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)和甘油三酯(TG)水平高的合并性血脂异常(22.8%,n=57)。男性与高甘油三酯血症显著相关(调整赔率[AOR]=1.86,95% 置信区间[CI]=1.09-3.1)(P=0.02)。舒张压≥90mmHg与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平低显著相关(AOR=2.09,95% CI=1.0-4.1)(P=0.03)。结论大多数边缘型糖尿病患者都存在血脂异常。特别是以高 LDL-C 水平为特征的孤立性血脂异常,其发病率令人震惊。需要进一步开展大规模的可靠研究,以证实本研究结果。

Polyhydramnios is defined as an increase in the amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy. This article presents the case of a 35-year-old G4P3 lady at 28 weeks of gestation with suboptimised gestational diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Routine transabdominal ultrasound showed the presence of polyhydramnios, initially thought to be due to suboptimal glucose control. Further evaluation revealed a congenital diaphragmatic hernia with multiple soft markers. Identifying the underlying causes of polyhydramnios can be challenging in primary care settings, which can be attributed to various factors. Although primary care medical officers may not be required to perform detailed scans, they have a crucial role in identifying gross foetal abnormalities. This study highlights the potential for missed diagnoses in primary care settings and the importance of comprehensive prenatal assessments to ensure early detection and appropriate management of polyhydramnios-related conditions in women with GDM.
多羊水是指妊娠期羊水量增加。本文介绍了一位 35 岁 G4P3 女性的病例,她在妊娠 28 周时患有妊娠糖尿病(GDM)。常规经腹超声波检查显示存在多胎妊娠,最初认为是由于血糖控制不理想所致。进一步的评估显示,该产妇患有先天性膈疝,并伴有多个软标记物。在基层医疗机构中,确定多胎妊娠的根本原因具有挑战性,这可归因于多种因素。虽然初级保健医疗人员可能不需要进行详细的扫描,但他们在识别胎儿大体畸形方面起着至关重要的作用。这项研究强调了在基层医疗机构中漏诊的可能性,以及全面产前评估的重要性,以确保及早发现并妥善处理 GDM 妇女的多胎妊娠相关病症。

Introduction: Gout is a chronic disease commonly associated with other comorbidities. Patients’ perceived quality of life empowers them in managing their health. Self-management is imparted as part of management among patients with chronic disease. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and practices of self-management among patients with gout from different ethnic groups in Malaysia. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among Malay, Chinese and Indian patients with gout via semi-structured in-depth interviews at the primary care clinic of University Malaya Medical Centre in either English or Malay language. All participants had a gout duration of more than 6 months and were either taking urate-lowering drugs or not using them at all. Results: A total of 20 participants were successfully recruited for the study. Among the participants, 18 were men, while two were women. Further, nine were Malays; six, Chinese; and four, Indians. The age ranged from 29 to 81 years, while the gout duration ranged from 1 to 30 years. From the interviews, three themes emerged: experiences with gout, types of self-management of gout and factors influencing self-management of gout. Conclusion: Diet control is the main self-management practice of patients with gout. Traditional medicine practices include natural methods such as consumption of different types of vegetable juices, pineapple and papaya. Each ethnicity has its own unique beliefs and food cultures. By understanding the self-management practices of patients from diverse ethnic backgrounds, healthcare practitioners can tailor the treatment of gout to individual needs.
导言痛风是一种慢性疾病,通常伴有其他合并症。患者对生活质量的感知增强了他们管理自身健康的能力。自我管理是慢性病患者管理的一部分。本研究旨在探讨马来西亚不同种族痛风患者对自我管理的看法和做法。研究方法:在马来亚大学医疗中心的初级保健诊所,对马来人、华人和印度人痛风患者进行了半结构化深度访谈,采用英语或马来语进行定性研究。所有参与者的痛风病程均超过 6 个月,并正在服用或完全未服用降尿酸药物。结果:本研究共成功招募了 20 名参与者。其中 18 人为男性,2 人为女性。此外,9 人为马来人,6 人为中国人,4 人为印度人。年龄从 29 岁到 81 岁不等,痛风病程从 1 年到 30 年不等。访谈中出现了三个主题:痛风的经历、痛风自我管理的类型以及影响痛风自我管理的因素。最后得出结论:饮食控制是痛风患者自我管理的主要方法。传统医学方法包括自然疗法,如饮用不同种类的蔬菜汁、菠萝汁和木瓜汁。每个民族都有自己独特的信仰和饮食文化。通过了解来自不同种族背景的患者的自我管理方法,医护人员可以因人而异地治疗痛风。

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant non-communicable disease in Malaysia, with a prevalence of 18.1%, per the National Health and Morbidity Survey. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and burden of diabetes mellitus-related symptoms and whether these symptoms were addressed by primary care doctors. Methods: This 1-month cross-sectional study was conducted at an urban hospital-based primary care clinic in Malaysia. Patients with T2DM were recruited using systematic random sampling. Participants answered a self-administered questionnaire adapted from the Diabetes Symptom Checklist-Revised, which evaluated the sociodemographic characteristics, burden of diabetes mellitus-related symptoms in the past month and post-consultation feedback about symptoms. Data were analysed using SPSS. Results: Four hundred eighteen participants were included, yielding a response rate of 97.7%. Hyperglycaemia was the most prevalent symptom, with 48.1% of the participants reporting a frequent need to empty their bladder. Most participants experienced a low symptom burden, so 56.7% did not report their symptoms to their doctors. The participants who reported their symptoms had a higher symptom burden. Among them, 97.5% indicated that their doctors addressed their symptoms. Approximately 78% reported satisfaction and good coping skills when their symptoms were addressed. Conclusion: Hyperglycaemia was the most prevalent diabetes mellitus-related symptom among the patients with T2DM. The symptom burden was generally low, so most patients did not report their symptoms to their doctors. Those who reported their symptoms had a higher symptom burden. Further studies must explore why patients do not report their symptoms and how doctors address patients’ symptoms.
简介在马来西亚,2 型糖尿病(T2DM)是一种严重的非传染性疾病,根据全国健康和发病率调查,其发病率为 18.1%。本研究旨在确定糖尿病相关症状的发病率和负担,以及初级保健医生是否处理过这些症状。研究方法这项为期 1 个月的横断面研究在马来西亚一家城市医院的初级保健诊所进行。研究采用系统随机抽样的方法招募 T2DM 患者。参与者回答了由糖尿病症状核对表(Diabetes Symptom Checklist-Revised)改编的自填式问卷,该问卷评估了社会人口学特征、过去一个月糖尿病相关症状的负担以及就诊后对症状的反馈。数据使用 SPSS 进行分析。结果:共纳入了 418 名参与者,回复率为 97.7%。高血糖是最普遍的症状,48.1%的参与者表示经常需要排空膀胱。大多数参与者的症状负担较轻,因此 56.7% 的参与者没有向医生报告自己的症状。报告症状的参与者的症状负担较重。其中 97.5%的人表示他们的医生处理过他们的症状。约 78% 的人表示,当他们的症状得到处理时,他们感到满意并有良好的应对能力。结论高血糖是 T2DM 患者最常见的糖尿病相关症状。症状负担一般较轻,因此大多数患者没有向医生报告症状。那些报告症状的患者的症状负担较重。进一步的研究必须探讨患者不报告症状的原因以及医生如何处理患者的症状。
{"title":"Prevalence and burden of diabetes mellitus-related symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional study","authors":"Jonathan Yuet Han Tan, Chirk Jenn Ng","doi":"10.51866/oa.416","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51866/oa.416","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant non-communicable disease in Malaysia, with a prevalence of 18.1%, per the National Health and Morbidity Survey. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and burden of diabetes mellitus-related symptoms and whether these symptoms were addressed by primary care doctors. Methods: This 1-month cross-sectional study was conducted at an urban hospital-based primary care clinic in Malaysia. Patients with T2DM were recruited using systematic random sampling. Participants answered a self-administered questionnaire adapted from the Diabetes Symptom Checklist-Revised, which evaluated the sociodemographic characteristics, burden of diabetes mellitus-related symptoms in the past month and post-consultation feedback about symptoms. Data were analysed using SPSS. Results: Four hundred eighteen participants were included, yielding a response rate of 97.7%. Hyperglycaemia was the most prevalent symptom, with 48.1% of the participants reporting a frequent need to empty their bladder. Most participants experienced a low symptom burden, so 56.7% did not report their symptoms to their doctors. The participants who reported their symptoms had a higher symptom burden. Among them, 97.5% indicated that their doctors addressed their symptoms. Approximately 78% reported satisfaction and good coping skills when their symptoms were addressed. Conclusion: Hyperglycaemia was the most prevalent diabetes mellitus-related symptom among the patients with T2DM. The symptom burden was generally low, so most patients did not report their symptoms to their doctors. Those who reported their symptoms had a higher symptom burden. Further studies must explore why patients do not report their symptoms and how doctors address patients’ symptoms.","PeriodicalId":40017,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Family Physician","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139186217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
