<p>Demam enterik (demam tifoid dan paratifoid) adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (S. typhi) dan paratyphi (S. paratyphi) A dan B. Gejala klinis bervariasi dari ringan sampai berat. Pemeriksaan gold standard untuk demam tifoid adalah kultur darah. Pemeriksaan serologi seperti Widal, Dot Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), dan uji IgM dipstick juga dapat digunakan untuk diagnosis. Pilihan utama antibiotik tergantung kerentanan kuman S.typhi dan S.paratyphi di area tertentu; golongan fluorokuinolon adalah yang paling efektif.</p><p>Enteric fever (typhoid and paratyphoid fever) is infection caused by Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (S. typhi) and paratyphi (S. paratyphi) A dan B.

<p>Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe and fatal condition characterized by severe hypoxic respiratory failure resistant to oxygen therapy with bilateral lung infiltrates in radiological findings, first described in 1967 by Ashbaugh and colleagues. Several pathogenesis mechanisms were involved in ARDS, such as excess inflammation, endothelial permeability, epithelial permeability, and impaired alveolar fluid clearance. Kigali criteria as modified Berlin criteria typically maintain the previous criteria with removed PEEP requirement and hypoxemiaevaluated using the ratio of arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry/inspiratory oxygen fraction (SpO2/FiO2). Low tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) were needed to prevent alveolar collapse due to loss of surfactant and fluid accumulation in alveoli. The prone position was shown to have a beneficial effect on a critically ill patient. Treatment should be aimed at the underlying condition even though lung injury has occurred in many cases.</p><p>Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) adalah kondisi serius dan fatal yang ditandai dengan kegagalan pernapasan tipe hipoksia berat yang resisten terhadap terapi oksigen dengan infiltrat paru bilateral pada temuan radiologis; pertama kali ditemukan pada tahun 1967 oleh Ashbaugh dan kawan-kawan. Beberapa mekanisme patogenesis yang terlibat dalam ARDS adalah inflamasi berlebih, permeabilitas endotel, permeabilitas epitel, dan gangguan pembersihan cairan alveolar. Kriteria Kigali sebagai hasil modifikasi dari kriteria Berlin, mempertahankan kriteria sebelumnya dengan persyaratan PEEP dihilangkan dan hipoksemia dievaluasi menggunakan rasio saturasi oksigen arteri dengan oksimetri nadi/ fraksi oksigen inspirasi (SpO2/ FiO2). Volume tidal dan tekanan ekspirasi akhir positif (PEEP) rendah perlu untuk mencegah kolaps alveolar karena hilangnya surfaktan dan akumulasi cairan di alveoli. Posisi tengkurap terbukti memiliki efek menguntungkan pada pasien kritis. Pengobatan ARDS harus ditujukan untuk mengobati kondisi yang mendasarinya meskipun cedera paru telah terjadi dalam kebanyakan kasus.</p><p> </p>
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a spiral shape gram-negative bacillus and have flagella for motility in mucus environment. H. pylori is microaerophilic organism, slow growing and requires complex growth media in vitro. H. pylori infecting more than 50% populations in worldwide. Prevalence of H. pylori infection is higher in developing countries compared to developed one, and indicates that socioeconomic and living standard may play a major role in the distribution. This study aims to provide an overview of how to diagnose and manage Helicobacter pylori infection. This study reviewed various sources then reviewed as a literature review. The most successful regimens are triple and quadruple combinations, which consist of a PPI and two or three antibiotics for 7 – 14 days. Patient’s compliance and the use of drug to which strain of H. pylori has not acquired resistance are the most important factors in successful H. pylori treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
