C-Reactive Protein As An Early Predictor Of Anastomosis Leakage After Colorectal Surgery: A Literature Review, Lucky Permana, Ridho A. Syaiful

The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery

Introduction. Anastomosis leakage is a defect in the intestinal wall at the anastomosis site after surgery. This condition is a serious complication causing increased morbidity and mortality. CRP is commonly used as an acute postoperative indicator after abdominal surgery. The use of CRP as an early predictor of anastomosis leakage after colorectal surgery is supported by several studies showing its good diagnostic value. However, using CRP as a biomarker is not standard at Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital. Therefore, this literature review aims to support the evidence for CRP in the early detection of anastomosis leakage after colorectal surgery.

Port-Wine Stain Treatment With 577-Nm Laser: Treatment Outcomes Of Superficial Versus Deep Lesions, Yulia Siskawati

Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia

Background: Port-wine stains (PWS), or capillary malformations (CM), are congenital vascular anomalies characterized by gradual enlargement of the superficial cutaneous vascular plexus, leading to low-flow malformations in the skin. Laser therapy remains the preferred treatment for PWS. The 577-nm vascular laser system is particularly suited for treating cutaneous vascular disorders. This study evaluates the efficacy of the 577-nm vascular laser for both superficial and deep PWS lesions.

Potassium-Competitive Acid Blocker Sebagai Alternatif Penghambat Pompa Proton Untuk Mengatasi Gejala Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Sebuah Laporan Kasus Berbasis Bukti, Adam Prabata, Adelia Nova Prahasary, Arya Govinda

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Gastric acid suppression is one of the main pillars of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treatment. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is the most used drug for suppressing gastric acid in GERD patients currently. Potassium- acid competitive acid blocker (PCAB) is a new class of drug which can be used as an alternative drug for suppressing gastric acid, so hypothetically, this drug could be an alternative of PPI for relieving GERD symptoms. However, the ability of PCAB for relieving GERD symptoms was not established, so this study was aimed to elucidate the ability of PCAB as an alternative drug of PPI for …
