Transfers are high-risk. Intra-hospital transfer processes research has improved protocols used nationally.1 Outside-hospital admissions remain without standards ensuring the transfer of the right information to the right clinician at the right time; presently, patients can arrive at a new hospital with limited-to-no information.2We trialed a novel process for outside (hospital, provider, or skilled nursing facility) admissions to a single academic medical center’s resident and- hospital-medicine-attending-based (“teaching”) medicine services.

While internal medicine residents at Maine Medical Center provide care for many refugees and immigrants, there is not a formal international health curriculum to equip residents to care for this vulnerable population. Since 2002, 3,793 refugees have arrived in Maine for resettlement. Our aim was to survey residents about their interest in added international health instruction and design an educational curriculum for these physicians.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is an age-related disease with modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and physical inactivity influencing the onset and progression. There is however, no direct evidence that reducing these risk factors prevents or slows AD. The Risk Reduction for Alzheimer's Disease (rrAD) trial is designed to study the independent and combined effects of intensive pharmacological control of blood pressure and cholesterol and exercise training on neurocognitive function. Six hundred and forty cognitively normal older adults age 60 to 85 years with hypertension and increased risk for dementia will be enrolled. Participants are randomized into one of …

Folic acid is used in dengue patients. Our study aims to compare the duration of recovery of thrombocytopenia in patients with dengue infection who received folic acid and those who did not. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of adult patients admitted over six years with a diagnosis of dengue. Of 2216 patients, 1464 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Group A were those patients who received folic acid and group B were those who did not. A total of 1322 (90.3%) patients received folic acid. The mean time period required for platelets to double the nadir was 1.7 (±2.2) days in …

Department of Medicine
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is an uncommon pathology, which is sometimes incidentally found on left heart catheterization (LHC). CAE is occasionally treated with systemic anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis or progression of the clot in the coronary arteries. We present a 63-year-old male with known CAE on warfarin who presented to the hospital with myocardial infarction after a routine colonoscopy for which anticoagulation was held. His myocardial infarction was attributed to a likely coronary thromboembolic event. This case highlights the need for consideration of bridging anticoagulation therapy before and after procedures in patients with CAE to prevent adverse coronary events.

Diabetes mellitus is quite familiar to health-care personnel but occasionally presents with unusual manifestations. One of them is hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome, a spectrum of involuntary, continuous non-patterned movement involving one side of the body which is related to nonketotic hyperglycemia in uncontrolled diabetes. Here we present two cases of nonketotic hyperglycemic diabetic patients who presented with the hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome. First – a 57 years old woman was presented with involuntary, arrhythmic, and repetitive movement on the right arm and leg, accompanied by twitching on the right face for two weeks. She had an uncontrolled history of diabetes mellitus. The second- a …

Introduction. Green Tea extract has been proven in vitro to have the ability as an antioxidant. Submaximal physical activity causes an increase in free radicals. The increase of MDA can detect the increase of free radicals. This study aimed to determine the effects of green tea extract supplementation against free radicals in submaximal physical activity by measuring plasma MDA. Methods. This double-blind controlled trial study was performed in 20 students of faculty of sports science with submaximal physical activity in the form of 1,500 meters running in 12 minutes using a treadmill.

Immunotherapy For Food Allergy: Myth Or Reality?, Gatot Soegiarto
Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia
Allergic reaction to food can have serious consequences. The only treatment option is strict allergen avoidance, but accidental ingestions happen frequently and can lead to severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. Food allergy is one of the most common causes of anaphylactic reactions. Therefore self-injectable epinephrine should always be at hand in case of accidental exposure. Many food allergies may resolve over time, but most patients with persistent food allergies live with fear of anaphylactic reactions. Within the last several years, the usefulness of immunotherapy for food allergies has been investigated. Several food immunotherapies are being developed; which include oral, …

Introduction. Coronary heart disease (CHD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are common and complex clinical problems. Both have a high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). QT dispersion (QTd) in electrogram is a measure of heterogeneity of myocardial repolarization that can predict the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias that cause SCD QTd is a predictor of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. So far, there is no publication about the severity relationship CHD with QTd in OSA patients in Indonesia. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted on twenty-nine CHD patients accompanied OSA in 2015 who had undergone coronary angiography and polysomnography …
