Patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease have a high risk of mortality, with tuberculosis (TB) being one of the leading causes. Empiric antituberculosis therapy could be considered as a strategy to reduced mortality although there is no strong evidence. This study aims to review the efficacy of empiric antituberculosis therapy in patient with advanced HIV disease compared to isoniazid prophylaxis therapy and assessed with mortality as outcome. A 46- year old male patient with advanced HIV disease on antiretroviral therapy (ARV) and liver cirrhosis was admitted to hospital due to difficulties in sleeping and walking. During hospitalization he …

Introduction. Candida sp. is a fungus that lives as a commensal in human body, but may cause infection upon immune suppression. The decrease in immunity due to TB infection and long-term use of antibiotics in TB patients may increase the risk of the Candida sp. colonization in patient. Data regarding the prevalence of Candida sp. colonization in TB patients and its impact has not been widely reported. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of presumptive drug-resistance TB patients with Candida sp. colonization.

Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from a …

Introduction. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple parameter to assess the inflammatory status, especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients experiencing capillary damage due to increased glomerular capillary pressure. In a state of vascular endothelial inflammation, there is a higher tendency to form atherosclerotic plaques and calcification that can induce cardiovascular events such as heart failure, coronary heart disease, and stroke. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the NLR and cardiovascular complications in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods. An analytical observational study with cross-sectional approach was conducted among 119 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at Dr …

Introduction. Esophageal variceal bleeding is one of the complications caused by an increase in pressure within the portal vein blood vessels. The gold standard examination for portal pressure is the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), but HVPG examination is invasive, involving transjugular catheterization of the hepatic vein. Currently, non-invasive methods for measuring portal hypertension are being developed to predict esophageal varices and esophageal variceal bleeding using spleen stiffness measurements. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of spleen stiffness measurement in predicting recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Methods. This study used a retrospective cohort …

Heart failure is a complex disease caused by abnormalities in the structure or function of the heart resulting in decreased cardiac output. The complexity of heart failure causes an increasing burden of mortality and morbidity. This has further exacerbated the burden of treatment costs as well as the high rate of hospital readmissions. Readmission rate in patients with heart failure within 30 days post-hospitalization can reach 17.5%. In order to reduce re-hospitalization rates, multidisciplinary programs were introduced. The program involves collaboration of cardiologists, specialty nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and social workers using home or clinic-based models. Studies show that special management …

Introduction. The prevalence of heart failure in Indonesian adults is 1.5%, at least half of which categorized as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Quality of life assessment plays an important role in the management of heart failure, one of the tools widely used is the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) questionnaire. In Indonesia, there is still no data regarding risk factors that affect the quality of life of HFpEF patients. This study aimed to determine the quality of life profile of HFpEF patients and the relationship between the risk factors (age, hypertension, DM, smoking, and obesity) …

Inferior myocardial infarction is frequently accompanied by right ventricular infarction. This report presents two cases of right ventricular infarction accompanied by hemodynamic disorder and atrioventricular block complications. These patients were diagnosed with right ventricular infarction based on history, clinical presentations, and electrocardiography findings. The management approach for these patients involved optimizing volume and fluid status, using temporary pacemakers, and urgent percutaneous coronary intervention. This report highlights the need to promptly identify right ventricular involvement in inferior myocardial infarction, as the treatment strategies for right ventricular infarction are different from left ventricular infarction.
