Diabetes mellitus merupakan salah satu penyakit yang sering dialami oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Jumlah penderita diabetes mellitus di Indonesia terus menerus meningkat setiap tahunnya. Pada penderita diabetes mellitus ditemukan peningkatan kadar glukosa darah atau yang disebut sebagai hiperglikemia. Peningkatan kadar glukosa darah disebabkan karena adanya kerusakan dari sel beta pankreas. Akibat dari kerusakan tersebut, insulin yang berguna untuk menyerap glukosa menjadi berkurang. Hal ini terjadi pada penderita diabetes melitus tipe 1. Selain itu, peningkatan kadar glukosa darah juga dapat disebabkan karena sensitivitas sel terhadap insulin berkurang, sehingga kemampuan sel untuk mengambil glukosa dari darah juga berkurang. Terdapat beberapa penelitian yang meneliti tentang pemanfaatan asam jawa atau Tamarindus indica sebagai bahan alami untuk menurunkan kadar glukosa darah. Pada beberapa penelitian menggunakan bagian buah dari asam jawa untuk dibuat menjadi ekstrak dan diberikan kepada hewan percobaan, yaitu mencit yang telah diberikan aloksan sehingga pankreasnya rusak dan mengalami peningkatan kadar glukosa darah. Setelah diberikan ekstrak buah Tamarindus indica, terdapat penurunan kadar glukosa darah yang cukup signifikan. Pada penelitian yang lain yang menggunakan bagian lain dari Tamarindus indica yaitu bagian biji dan daunnya, terdapat penurunan kadar glukosa darah, namun tidak signifikan.
Retinal detachment is a separation between retinal photoreceptor layer and retinal epithelial layer below. Retinal detachment happens in 67% people with myopia. Retinal detachment also happens in people with cataract surgery history and blunt trauma in the eye. Patients with retinal detachment may present with a history of photopsia. The patient also presents with visual field loss, usually starts in the periphery, and then moving to the central. Physical examination can be done with fundoscopy examination that may present with a retinal detachment if the eye was moving. Radiological examination can be done to support the diagnosis. Management of retinal detachment is by vitrectomy to lift up the material that causing traction, subretinal internal liquid drainage, and injection of air or gasses to maintain retinal position. A man aged 53 years old come with visual loss in the right eye. Patient felt that there is a foreign object in his right eye, so the patient rub his right eye to release the foreign object. Patient’s right eye only can see blurred from the side, but in the central he can not see anything. The physical examination presents with a retinal detachment in the right eye. Patient has controlled hypertension. There is no previous allergic or operative history. The patient receives an operative vitrectomy with general anesthesia. The patient receives preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative to support the surgery..
