Background: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in women, and living in a tropical country with a year-round abundance of sunlight as the primary source of vitamin D does not seem to guarantee adequate serum 25(OH)D. While living in the tropics, Minangkabau women are known to dress specifically according to their culture. This study was aimed to elucidate the association of sunlight exposed body surface area with serum 25(OH)D in pregnant Minangkabau women of Indonesia. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on 88 Minangkabau women in late pregnancy. Lifestyle data were collected using a questionnaire, and dietary intake of vitamin D was calculated from 24-h food recall. The skin pigmentation type was determined by the Fitzpatrick scale, and the body surface area exposed to sunlight was estimated. Serum 25(OH)D was quantified by ELISA method. Serum 25(OH)D differences according to the duration of sunlight exposure, skin pigmentation type, and sunscreen use were statistically analyzed by ANOVA. The correlation of sunlight exposed body surface area and serum 25(OH)D was analyzed by Spearman's correlation. Results: Nearly half of the subjects (n = 40; 45.5%) were deficient in vitamin D (< 20 ng/ml) with serum 25(OH)D level 23.0 ± 10.0 ng/ml (mean ± SD) and the estimated daily intake of vitamin D was 5.6 ± 3.9 μg/1000 kcal/day (mean ± SD). The median percentage of body area exposed to sunlight was 15.8%. There were no differences in serum 25(OH)D levels according to sunlight exposure time, skin pigmentation type, and sunscreen use. The percentage of body area exposed to sunlight was positively correlated with serum 25(OH)D level (Spearman's ρ = 0.403; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in pregnant Minangkabau women. Since increasing body surface area exposed to sunlight may not be culturally acceptable, vitamin D supplementation needs to be considered in this population.
Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is one of the common problems in the obstetric field, ranging from 8-10% of term pregnancies will experience PROM. The increase in MMP-9 also has an impact on the degradation of the extracellular matrix and the apoptotic process of amniotic epithelial cells which ultimately leads to membrane rupture. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in serum zinc and MMP-9 levels between premature rupture of membranes and normal pregnancies.This research is quantitative observational with the cross-sectional design carried out in Independent Practice Midwives for research samples of term premature rupture of normal and amniotic pregnancies, and Biomedical Laboratory of the Medical Faculty of Andalas University in March 2018 to March 2019. The research sample amounted to 35 respondents using consecutive sampling. Zinc and MMP-9 levels were examined by the Human ELISA Kit. Data analysis using the unpaired t-test.The results showed a mean serum zinc level of 13608 ± 1128.976µg / ml in Aterm KPD and 13799,111 ± 1254,335 µg / ml in normal pregnancies with p> 0.05. The mean serum MMP-9 levels were 1682.412 ± 320,398 ng / ml in Aterm PROM and 1807,667 ± 484,735 ng / ml in normal pregnancies with p <0.05.This study concludes that there is no difference in serum zinc levels in premature rupture of membranes and normal pregnancies; there is a difference in MMP-9 levels in premature rupture of membranes and normal pregnancy.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian Observasional dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di RSUD dr. Rasidin Padang, RSUD. Prof. Dr. MA Hanafiah SM Batusangkar, RSUP. M. Djamil, dan BPS. Nurhaida, Amd.Keb pada bulan September 2017 sampai Januari 2018. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 50 responden yang dipilih secara consecutive sampling yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok. Pemeriksaan kadar kortisol dan prostaglandin dilakukan di Laboratorium Biomedik Universitas Andalas Padang dengan metode ELISA. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar kortisol dengan persalinan preterm dan aterm (p= 0,02; p < 0,05). Terdapat hubungan kadar prostaglandin dengan persalinan preterm dan aterm (p = 0,023; p < 0,05). Terdapat hubungan kadar kortisol dengan prostaglandin pada aterm (p = 0,0001; p < 0,05). Tidak terdapat hubungan kortisol dan prostaglandin pada preterm (p = 0,52; p > 0,05). Kata Kunci: Kortisol, Prostaglandin, Persalinan Preterm
Penyakit trofoblas gestasional (PTG)/Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) terdiri dari kelompok mola hidatidosa yang terbagi menjadi komplit dan parsial, hingga kelompok Tumor trofoblas gestasional (TTG)/Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) yang terdiri dari mola invasif, koriokarsinoma, dan placental site trophoblastic tumour/epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (PSTT/ETT). TTG dikategorikan menjadi dua yaitu yang tidak bermetastasis (hanya terbatas di uterus) dan yang bermetastasis (telah menyebar ke vagina, paru-paru atau otak). Penegakan diagnosis inisial PTG melalui pendekatan multimodalitas mencakup gejala klinis, kadar hCG dan pemeriksaan USG pelvis. Doppler membantu menilai angiogenesis dan karakterisitik neovaskularisasi PTG. Gambaran yang tampak pada USG akan menjelaskan gambaran pada histopatologinya. Pemeriksaan penunjang lain untuk PTG adalah rontgen thoraks, CT Scan dan MRI. Saat ini pemeriksaan imunohistokimia (IHK) dan polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sudah mulai digunakan untuk menentukan diagnosis PTG. Pemantauan hCG mempunyai peran penting dalam penatalaksanaan PTG. Tetapi karena terdapat beberapa pedoman yang menyatakan protokol berbeda-beda dalam pemantauan hCG, hal ini membuat para dokter spesialis obgin mempertanyakan mengenai pemantauan hCG pasca evakuasi. Himpunan Onkologi Ginekologi Indonesia mengeluarkan suatu Pedoman Nasional Pelayanan Kedokteran (PNPK) Tumor Trofoblas Gestasional yang didalamnya terkait diagnosis dan penatalaksaan TTG.
The Risk Malignancy Index (RMI) is one of the simplest assessments that can assist in diagnosing and determining the prognosis of benign and malignant adnexa masses. Epithelial carcinoma is the most common type of about 90% of ovarian cancers. As many as 35-40% of the epithelial type are serous and 6-10% are musinosum.This study aims to compare the picture of RMI value on the incidence of ovarian cancer serosum and musinosum type. This study was cross sectinal comparative study from medical records of ovarian cancer patients at obstetrics and gynecology section in DR M Djamil Hospital Padang from January 1st, 2017 until December 31st, 2017. The population was found one hundred and forty of patients with ovarian cancer and only one hundred and twenty nine of patients met the inclusion criteria and there were no exclusion criteria. Next RMI value is calculated based on RMI 1 formula, result is described in tabular form and data processing with SPSS program. Conclucion of this study is there were no differences in age distribution, ascites occurrence and age of menopause in serous and musinosum ovarian cancer. There is a difference in Ca, 125 levels in serous with musinosum ovarian cancer which also contribute to the high value of RMI. The mean value of patients‘s RMI in serous type ovarian cancer is higher than the mean value of RMI in patients with type Musinosum ovarian cancer. Keywords: index of risk malignancy, menopause, ultrasonography, anatomic pathology, serous ovarian carcinoma
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.
