Nafsu makan normal pada balita adalah 3 kali dalam sehari, atau setara dengan 1400 kal/hari. Namun tidak semua balita mempunyai nafsu makan yang normal. Tanda gejala yang dapat dilihat apabila anak kurang nafsu makan adalah wajah terlihat lesu, tidak bersemangat, dan berat badan menurun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya pengaruh pemberian ekstrak temulawak terhadap peningkatan nafsu makan balita usia 3 – 5 tahun di Posyandu I Desa sumberejo wetan, Kecamatan Ngunut, Kabupaten Tulungagung. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen dengan 30 responden yang mempunyai masalah nafsu makan. Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan pada tanggal 28 mei – 4 juni 2022. Data dikumpulkan dengan cara pengisian quesioner (pre dan post pemberian ekstrak temulawak) yang selanjutnya data diolah dengan menggunakan tabulasi silang dalam bentuk persentase serta di analisa dan ditarik kesimpulan. Untuk mengetahui adanya pengaruh pemberian ekstrak temulawak terhadap balita usia 3 – 5 tahun dilakukan dengan uji statistik Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test didapatkan nilai p = 0,001 dimana α = 0,05 sehingga Hο ditolak dan Hı diterima yang berarti ada pengaruh pemberian ekstrak temulawak terhadap peningkatan nafsu makan balita usia 3 – 5 tahun di Posyandu I Desa Sumberjo wetan, Kecamatan Ngunut, Kabupaten Tulungagung. Disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh pemberian ekstrak temulawak terhadap peningkatan nafsu makan balita usia 3-5 tahun di Posyandu I Desa Sumberejo Wetan Kecamatan Ngunut Kabupaten Tulungagung. Setelah diadakannya penelitian ini diharapkan ibu yang memiliki balita dengan nafsu makan kurang dapat memberikan ekstrak temulawak sehingga nafsu makan anak meningkat. Jika nafsu makan meningkat kebutuhan gizi anak dapat tercukupi.

Dear Editor, In his essay "Considerations on Tasso," published in 1793, Galileo Galilei described Tasso as a man poor in concepts and lacking in knowledge, who resorted to literary subterfuges and "abstruse" literary techniques, thereby emphasizing the significance and centrality of knowledge and comprehension as integral components of communication.1 Although Galileo Galilei made his comments 230 years ago, we can still learn from them as we consider the importance of communication and the challenges of developing a trustworthy doctor-patient relationship.

A 7-day-old female neonate presented with feeding difficulties and respiratory distress. She was born at term by vaginal delivery, weighed 2625 gr, with Apgar scores 9 and 10 in the first and fifth minutes of her life. Her mother did make complete prenatal care, and she reported smoking 10 cigarettes a day during the pregnancy. The baby was born well and evolved without respiratory distress, with good reactivity, a positive neonatal reflex, the emission of meconium in the first 24 hours, and breastfeeding with valid suckling. The baby was discharged at home in good condition. Three days later, she presented with feeding difficulties, and she was admitted to our institute. At admission, the heart rate was 180 bpm, the respiratory rate was 70/minute, and the oxygen saturation was 93% in room air. At the clinical examination, subcoastal retractions and inspiratory stridor with cyanosis were evident. A right-sided heart auscultation and bowel sounds in the chest were detected. We decided to perform an X-ray of the chest and abdomen.

We present here the case of a 55-year-old male patient with a past medical history of HIV infection on appropriate antiretroviral therapy (Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide), previously treated for hepatitis C with sustained viral response, who was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer of his right hand 2 years before, and treated with carboplatin and taxol, and surgery (partial amputation) for cancer progression and recurrent infections. He presented to our emergency department for worsening pain (NRS 10/10) of a suppurative and foul-smelling interdigital ulcerated lesion of his left foot, that had been present for 3 months. He reported 100% adherence to his HIV therapy and denied fever or chills. Initial work-up showed 10,690/mm3 leukocytes (8,240/ mm3 neutrophils, 1,560/mm3 lymphocytes), and a C-reactive protein of 2.89 mg/dL (normal value 0-0.5). CD4 count on presentation was 225 cells/µL. The patient was immediately treated with morphine (10 mg iv) and piperacillin/tazobactam (4.5 gr iv). The lesion presented erythematous ulcerated bleeding surface with serous and fetid secretion on which mobile larvae were found inside (as showed in the video). We removed about 20 maggots with blunt pliers, identified as larvae of Musca domestica (housefly).
我们在此报告一例55岁男性患者,其既往有HIV感染病史,接受过适当的抗逆转录病毒治疗(比替拉韦/恩曲他滨/替诺福韦-阿拉芬酰胺),曾接受过持续病毒反应的丙型肝炎治疗,2年前被诊断为右手癌症鳞状细胞癌,并接受了卡铂和紫杉醇治疗,以及癌症进展和复发性感染的手术(部分截肢)。他因左脚化脓性、恶臭的指间溃疡病变疼痛加剧(NRS 10/10)而到我们的急诊科就诊,该病变已存在3个月。他报告说,他100%坚持接受艾滋病毒治疗,并否认发烧或发冷。初步检查显示10690/mm3白细胞(8240/mm3中性粒细胞,1560/mm3淋巴细胞),C反应蛋白为2.89 mg/dL(正常值0-0.5)。CD4计数为225个细胞/µL。患者立即接受吗啡(10 mg iv)和哌拉西林/他唑巴坦(4.5 gr iv)治疗。病变表现为红斑溃疡出血表面,有浆液性和恶臭分泌物,里面有可移动的幼虫(如视频所示)。我们用钝钳去除了大约20只蛆,这些蛆被鉴定为家蝇的幼虫。

The study aimed to validate the Manchester Triage System in a hospital setting using data for short- and medium-term death rates. A prospective observational study was conducted at the Emergency Department of Merano Hospital for two years. The discriminatory ability of MTS was tested using AUROCs and contingency tables, reporting sensitivity and specificity levels for each study outcome. A total of 98,443 patients were enrolled, 237 of whom died within 72h; 422 patients died within seven days, and 1025 died within 30 days. The MTS demonstrated excellent discriminatory ability, reporting AUROC values of 0.890 for death within 72h, 0.853 for death within seven days, and 0.781 for death within 30 days. A sensitivity of 87.7% and a specificity of 79.4% were reported for death at 72h, while a sensitivity of 69.6% and a specificity of 79.8% were reported for death at 30 days. The MTS has proven to be a good triage system capable of accurately identifying patients who are at risk of death in the short or medium term.

Menurut National Institutes of Health (NIH), BPH mempengaruhi lebih dari 50% dari pria di atas usia 60 tahun dan sebanyak 90% dari pria di atas usia 70 dan berakhir dengan tindakan operasi. Inkontinensia urin merupakan masalah utama yang dirasakan bagi pasien post operasi prostatectomy pada saat kontrol pertama setelah dilakukan pelepasan selang kateter. Inkontinensia urin yang dialami setelah pelepasan kateter diakibatkan oleh otot detrusor kandung kemih yang tidak secara aktif mengkontraksikan dinding kandung kemih pada proses pengosongan urin akibat dari pemasangan kateter urin jangka lama sejak pasien mengalami masalah berkemih sampai dengan menjalani operasi. Hal ini akan mengakibatkan urin mengalir keluar kandung kemih melalui kateter urin secara terus menerus sehingga detrusor tidak dapat segera merespon untuk mengosongkan kandung kemih ketika kateter dilepas. Kondisi ini disebut instabilitas detrusor pasca kateterisasi. Desain penelitian ini adalah literature review yang dilakukan pada database pencarian Pubmed, Google Scholar, Taylor dan Francis, dan Proquest. Kata kunci yang digunakan adalah bladder training, inkontinensia urin, dan post operasi TURP dengan pembatasan 5 tahun terakhir. Studi tentang terapi cermin pada stroke ditemukan 55 artikel tetapi hanya 6 artikel jurnal yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi pencarian. Hasil literature review menunjukkan ada pengaruh terhadap pemberian bladder training terhadap inkontinesia urin.

A 60-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of progressive dyspnea and bilateral leg edema. He had undergone a prosthetic mitral valve replacement 9 years earlier. The patient was in respiratory distress (respiratory rate 32/min, oxygen saturation 86% on air, heart rate 124/min, blood pressure 109/56 mmHg). Examination revealed bilateral lung crackles and reduced air entry with dullness to percussion and elevated jugular venous pressure. The electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia. A chest X-ray (CXR) (Figure 1) and bedside lung ultrasonography were performed (Figure 2A). A diagnosis of a large pleural effusion was made and urgent thoracocentesis was considered in view of the patient’s respiratory distress. A repeat ultrasonographic scan with adjusted angulation to identify the most suitable entry point for the chest drain (Figure 2B) yielded new results that led to the cancellation of the thoracocentesis.

Dear Editor, We thank Vercelli et al.1 for their comments on our paper: Why do emergency department clinicians miss acute aortic syndrome? A case series and descriptive analysis. We fully agree with the authors, that investigating the heart and aorta using POCUS may allow for an earlier diagnosis and therefore more expedient treatment of a patient with acute aortic syndrome (AAS). We would also agree with the authors that POCUS is a point of care test with good specificity for the detection of AAS (i.e., it may be good at ruling in the diagnosis) but has poor sensitivity for the detection of AAS (i.e., it is not good at ruling out the diagnosis).[...]
