Background Viral infection can compound the severity of pre-existing inflammation caused by underlying diseases. For those with a chronic, immune-related condition such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) serves to exacerbate the inflammatory burden. Serum levels of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a primary mediator of cell adhesion express in the inflammatory process, are often used to indicate the gravity of all inflammatory conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate serum ICAM-1 levels before and after debridement in patients with DFUs who were also diagnosed as COVID-19 positive compared with those who were COVID-19 negative. Methods 20 patients with DFUs were screened for COVID-19 and then divided into COVID-19 positive and negative groups according to the results. Before debridement, chest x-rays and blood analysis, including ICAM-1 serum levels, were performed in both groups. Only ICAM-1 serum levels were measured after debridement. Results Of the 20 patients included in this study, 55% were male (n = 11) and 45% were female (n = 9). The mean age was 52.9 ± 1.9 years. ICAM-1 levels in patients with DFU in the COVID-19-positive group were significantly higher than those in the COVID-19-negative group (median 317.2 vs 149.2, respectively; p < 0.001). Serum levels of ICAM-1 reduced significantly in patients with DFU in the COVID-19-positive group were significantly higher than those in the COVID-19-negative group after debridement (median 312.5 vs 130.3; p < 0.001). Conclusion ICAM-1 serum levels represent an additional, initial screening marker for COVID-19.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is defined as stromal cell proliferation of prostate gland which causes enlargement of the gland. It manifests as urine flow disturbance, difficult to urinate, and desire to urinate, however, the urine emission is low. In 2013, Indonesia has 9.2 million cases of BPH among men aged over 60 years. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of BPH cases at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado in the period of January 2014 to June 2017. This was a retrospective descriptive study at Medical Record Installation of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital. The results showed that during that period of time, the highest percentage of cases was in 2016 (38.46%) and the most common age group was 61-70 years old (46.15%). The main complaint among the patients was difficult to urinate and the most frequently performed action was transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) (51.28%). Conclusion: In this study, BPH cases were most common at the age group 61-70 years old. Moreover, TURP was the most common action performed.Keywords: benign prostatic hyperplasia Abstrak: Benigna prostat hiperplasia (BPH) didefinisikan sebagai proliferasi dari sel stromal pada prostat, yang menyebabkan pembesaran kelenjar tersebut.

Traffic related death and trauma are major health problems in developing countries. Traffic accident needs multidisciplinary approach. Data regarding the profile of traumatic patients due to traffic accidents are still limited especially in Indonesia. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of traumatic patients due to traffic accidents admitted to the emergency unit of Surgery Department, Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado, from 1st January to 31st December 2017. This was a descriptive retrospective study using medical record data of the patients. Samples were all traumatic patients due to traffic accidents admitted to the emergency unit of Surgical Department.

Diabetic ulcer is a condition of infection, ulceration, and or destruction of inner skin tissue related to neurological disorders and degrees of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetic patients. Diabetic ulcer is prone to infection due to decreased immune response, therefore, opportunistic microbes can become pathogens. Infection is sttill a serious problem in diabetic ulcer since the high cost and long duration of treatment lead to complicated neclected ulcer. This study aimed to obtain the present profile of microbes in diabetic ulcers and the effectivitveness of peracetic acid dan feracrylum in the treatment of diabetic ulcers. This was a descriptive analytical study. The ulcer degree was determined by using PEDIS criteria. Pus specimen was taken with a sterile technique using a transport media, cultured in the Baxtec machine, and the microbes were identified and further tested for sensitivity to peracetic acid dan feracrylum 1%. The results showed that of the 57 patients there were 36 females with a mean age of 58.77+ 9.077 years. Most of the patients (30 patients) had diabetic ulcers of 4th degree. The result of pus culture showed Gram negative Proteus mirabilis as the most frequent microbe (17.5%). The sensitivity test showed that 100% of 12 types of microbes, 83.3% of Citrobacter diversus, and 60% of Proteus mirabilis samples were sensitive to peracetic acid, meanwhile, all microbes were resistant to feracrylum 1% dan NaCl as controls,. Conclusion: Peracetic acid was more effective than feracrylum 1% as topical antimicrobial for diabetic ulcer.Keywords: diabetic ulcer, microbe, topical antimicrobial agentAbstrak: Ulkus diabetik adalah suatu kondisi adanya infeksi, ulserasi dan atau kerusakan jaringan kulit yang lebih dalam yang berhubungan dengan kelainan neurologik serta berbagai tingkatan peripheral arterial disease (PAD) pada penderita diabetes melitus (DM). Ulkus diabetik lebih mudah terinfeksi karena respons kekebalan tubuh penderita DM biasanya menurun, bahkan kuman oportunistik juga dapat menjadi patogen. Infeksi masih menjadi masalah yang paling serius dialami penderita ulkus diabetik oleh karena biaya pengobatan yang besar dan waktu perawatan yang lama sehingga ulkus sering dibiarkan terinfeksi dengan komplikasi tanpa perawatan adekuat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh data terkini pola kuman penderita ulkus diabetik dan untuk mengetahui efektivitas asam perasetik dan feracrylum pada pola kuman ulkus diabetik. Jenis penelitian ini ialah deskriptif analitik. Derajat ulkus dinilai dengan kriteria PEDIS. Spesimen pus diambil secara steril dengan media transpor, ditanam dalam mesin Baxtec, kemudian dilakukan identifikasi kuman dan uji sensitivitas terhadap asam perasetik dan feracrylum 1%. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari 57 penderita ulkus diabetik terbanyak ialah perempuan (36 penderita) dengan rerata usia 58,77+9,077 tahun. Sebagian besar ulkus diabetik (30 penderita) termasuk derajat 4. Hasil kultur memperlihatkan Proteus mirabilis (Gram negatif) yang tersering (17,5%). Hasil uji sensitivitas pola kuman memperlihatkan 100% sampel dari 12 jenis kuman, 83,3% dari Citrobacter diversus, dan 60% dari Proteus mirabilis sensitif terhadap asam perasetik, sedangkan terhadap feracrylum 1% dan NaCl sebagai kontrol, seluruh kuman telah resisten. Simpulan: Asam perasetik lebih efektif dibandingkan feracrylum 1% sebagai antimikroba topikal pada ulkus diabetik.Kata kunci: ulkus diabetik, mikroba, antimikroba topikal
