Tjandra djonyedwardtjandra@yahoo.com Yuansun Khosama yuansunkhosama@gmail.com Windy M. V. Wariki wwariki@unsrat.ac.id <p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Embolization is a technique to stop or prevent bleeding by inserting an object, such as an air-filled membrane (balloon), or an embolic material such as foam into a blood vessel to block the blood flow. This study aimed to prove that preoperative embolization might affect and reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding during the posterior stabilization procedure for thoracolumbal vertebrae fracture. A quasi-experimental method was chosen for this study, and samples were not taken at random. Samples were patients with thoracolumbal vertebrae fracture who underwent the posterior stabilization procedure. Samples were divided into two groups, treated with and without preoperative embolization groups. The treatment was given 24-48 hours before posterior stabilization procedure. The intraoperative bleeding was measured in milliliters. The resulys showed that the average intraoperative blood loss was 283.3 mL, meanwhile of the untreated group was 583.3 mL. The one-way t-test resulted in a p-value of 0.004 at 5% of significance. In conclusion, preoperative embolization could reduce the amount of blood loss during intra-operative posterior stabilization in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures. Further research on preoperative embolization in patient who will undergo posterior stabilization surgery of the thoracolumbal region due to fracture, either mechanically or generatively, is needed.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: preoperative embolization; intraoperative blood loss</p> 2023-01-02T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Nathaniel Pali, Tommy Suharso, Richard Sumangkut, Billy Karundeng, Djony E.

Newer management techniques such as Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty (BET) has been introduced. This study aimed to evaluate the available studies regarding the indications, safety, and efficacy of BET in reducing the symptoms of patients with ETD. This was a systematic review study. A comprehensive literature search was carried out according to PRISMA guidelines, and seven articles were obtained. The follow-up results showed a significant improvement in the ETDQ-7 score and the results of middle ear assessments. Progress observed over 1-12 months confirmed the efficacy and demonstrated the durability of the BET procedure, without complications that occurred during follow-up.

In PACG, degenerative changes in the trabecular meshwork resulting from iridiotrabecular contact (ITC) cause high intraocular pressure resulting in glaucomatous optic atrophy. We reported a 58-year-old woman came with the chief complaint of pain in the right eye for three months, accompanied by red and watery eye, and glare when exposed to light. Patient also complained of headaches and sometimes nausea. There was a history of hypertension since one year ago, but not taking any drugs. In ophthalmological examination of the right eye, visual acuity was 6/20, intraocular pressure 39 mm Hg, conjunctival injection, corneal edema, Van Herick 1 shallow anterior chamber, iris atrophy, round shaped and centrally located pupil with a diameter of 5 mm and a NO3NC3 lens. In the posterior segment of the right eye, non-uniform fundal reflexes were found, papillae were round, vital, well-defined with a cup and disc ratio of 0.7-0.8. The patient was diagnosed with primary angle-closure glaucoma in the right eye and a trabeculectomy was performed on the right eye. After trabeculectomy, the intraocular pressure of the right eye was 17.7 mm Hg. In conclusion, trabeculectomy has a high success rate in terms of controlling intraocular pressure in primary angle closure glaucoma.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> glaucoma; primary angle closure; tabeculectomy</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Glaukoma penutupan sudut primer (PACG) merupakan penyebab utama kebutaan di Asia.

Waworuntu Pachecklik@unsrat.ac.id Claresta Claresta clarestaresta@outlook.com <p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Stenting of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a minimally invasive catheter-based temporary palliative procedure, and it serves as an alternative to surgical shunt in neonates with duct dependent pulmonary perfusion, such as pulmonary atresia. This presentation aimed to report the first experience of PDA stenting in a neonate with pulmonary atresia in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. We reported a female neonate patient, weighing 3775 grams, referred from primary hospital with suspect congenital heart disease. The patient was born at 40 weeks of gestational age by caesarean section delivery from a primigravid mother aged 23 years with inertia uteri and strangulation of nuchal cord. At birth, she cried immediately and her APGAR score was 6-7. On her first day of life, she looked cyanotic, therefore she was referred to Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital. Physical examination showed that she had perioral cyanotic and peripheral cyanotic with SpO2 58%. Chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly. Echocardiography revealed pulmonary atresia with PDA with intact ventricular septum. PDA stenting was done on her second day of admission. After the procedure, she was clinically stable with SpO2 80%, and was treated with intravenous antibiotic, and intravenous heparin and aspirin enterally. On the third day post procedure, she was discharged and no complication was found. PDA stenting in patient with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation appeared to be an alternative to surgery. It provided bridging palliation until the time of definitive surgery. The effectiveness of the procedure was highlighted by the fact that all the patients showed significant improvement in arterial saturation and pulmonary vascular marking. In conclusion, PDA stenting is considered feasible, safe and associated with lower mortality rates and shorter hospital length of stay than systemic-pulmonary surgical shunt procedure. Early detection and timely management are imperative to save the life.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: patent ductus arteriosus stenting; pulmonary atresia</p> 2023-03-26T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2023 David S.

Early detection of myopia is expected to prevent the occurrence of amblyopia, strabismus or other eye disorders. Autorefractor is a medical device that can be used before refraction examination in order to increase the efficiency in measurement of refractive disorders. However, the autorefractor used needs to be tested first to ensure the reliability of the tool in supporting clinical examinations. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the NIDEK TONOREF III autorefractor in daily clinical practice in young myopia population. The results obtained 42 subjects with myopic refractive error aged 20-41 years. The majority were females and had mild myopia. The statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the calculation of pupillary distance (p=0.581) and the correction results (p=0.842) between autorefractor and subjective refraction. In conclusion, the NIDEK Tonoref III autorefractor exhibits a high degree of reliability in evaluating glasses prescription and pupillary distance for cases of myopia.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>autorefractor; myopia; NIDEK TONOREF III; objective refraction; subjective refraction</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstrak</strong>: Angka kejadian miopia terus mengalami peningkatan dalam beberapa dekade terakhir dan diperkirakan akan terus bertambah. Deteksi dini miopia diharapkan dapat mencegah terjadinya ambliopia, strabismus ataupun kelainan mata lainnya. Autorefraktor merupakan alat pemeriksaan yang dapat digunakan mendahului pemeriksaan refraksi untuk meningkatkan efisiensi pemeriksaan kelainan refraksi. Namun, autorefraktor yang digunakan perlu diuji terlebih dahulu sehingga menjamin keterandalan alat dalam menunjang pemeriksaan klinis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji keterandalan autorefraktor NIDEK TONOREF III dalam praktik klinis sehari-hari pada populasi miopia muda. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 42 subjek penelitian dengan kelainan refraksi miopia pada rentang usia 20-41 tahun. Subjek terbanyak berada pada kategori miopia ringan dan berjenis kelamin perempuan. Hasil uji t-independen menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada perhitungan jarak antar pupil (p=0,581) serta hasil koreksi (p=0,842) antara autorefraktor dan refraksi subjektif. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah autorefraktor NIDEK Tonoref III memiliki keterandalan yang baik dalam menilai koreksi kacamata dan jarak antar pupil untuk kasus miopia.</p> <p><strong>Kata kunci: </strong>autorefraktor; miopia; NIDEK TONOREF III; refraksi objektif; refraksi subjektif</p> 2023-03-28T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Vera Sumual, Ade J.
