Background: Breast tumors are common lesions found in women.[1] Mammography is Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) approved modality for screening and diagnosing breast tumor.[2,3] Aim: To know the characteristic and comparison of mammography results with histopathology diagnosis as the gold standard in breast tumor patients at RSUP Dr. Kariadi. Methods: This research used the diagnostic test method. Data were taken from medical records in RSUP Dr. Kariadi, Semarang from 2017 to 2019 with sa consecutive sampling method. The collected samples were 55 mammography imaging. Next, the data were described as frequency distribution and percentages, and then the diagnostic test values were counted. Result: Benign breast tumor in RSUP Dr. Kariadi was found in 40-50 years old patients with 77,8% oval-shaped and 72,2% circumscribed margin mass seen in the mammogram, while breast cancer was found in >50 years old patients with 57,1% irregular-shaped and 54,3 spiculated margin mass seen in the mammogram. Mammography in RSUP Dr. Kariadi has 89% sensitivity, 89% specificity, 94% positive predictive value, 81% negative predictive value, and 89% accuracy. Conclusion: Benign breast tumor in RSUP Dr. Kariadi mostly found in 40-50 years old patients with oval-shaped and circumscribed margin mass seen in the mammogram, while breast cancer is mostly found in >50 years old patient with irregular shape and spiculated margin mass seen in the mammogram. The diagnostic test score of mammography in RSUP Dr. Kariadi is high.
Background: During inflammatory phase of the burn healing process, the number of plasma MDA levels tend to increase, which may cause damage towards cells and thus delay the resolution of burn wounds. Some research has been done in order to find alternative treatment for burn wound, including the application of antioxidant. Jengkol contains many antioxidant compounds which are expected to reduce plasma MDA levels, so it can accelerate the healing of burn wound. Aim: To prove that administration of jengkol extract can reduce plasma MDA level in Sprague dawley rats which were been given burn wound. Method: This experiment was using pre and post-test control group design, with 20 Sprague dawley rats as samples. All of the samples were given deep second degree burn wound which were then divided equally into 2 groups, treatment group (given jengkol extract 500 mg/KgBW) and control group (not given anything). Plasma MDA levels were then analyzed by using TBARS method. Data was analyzed using paired T-test, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, and independence T-test. Result: There is no significant difference between the mean of plasma MDA levels in pre and post-test of either control group (p=0.771) or in the treatment group (p=1.00). Using Mann-Whitney test, there isn’t any significant difference in the pre-test between control and treatment group (p=0.677) or in the post-test between control and treatment group (p=0.916) by using independence T-test. Conclusion: Jengkol extract cannot reduce plasma MDA levels of Sprague dawley rats which were given burn wound.
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common carcinoma, accounting for more than 90% of all malignancies, where the most variants are classic papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTCVF). The characteristics of previous thyroid disease history, regional metastases, and ultrasound examination results can influence the clinical examination between the two variants of PTC, namely classic PTC and PTCVF. Aim: Understanding the differences in the history of previous thyroid disease, metastases, and ultrasound examination abnormalities between Classical Papillary Carcinoma and Follicular variants at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang. Methods: A cross sectional study with consecutive sampling method in classic PTC and PTCVF patients in Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang who was diagnosed in the period January to June 2019. In this study, the number of samples obtained was 18 medical records with classic PTC cases and 20 medical records with PTCVF cases. The dependent variables, namely history of previous thyroid disease, regional metastases, and ultrasound examination abnormalities, all of which were on an ordinal scale, were analyzed using non-parametric chi-square test and Fisher's Exact test. Results: In the non-parametric chi-square test and Fisher's Exact test, the results were not significant (p = 0.474), regional metastases were not significant (p = 0.359), ultrasound size abnormalities were not significant (p = 0.323), and abnormalities. ultrasound nodal was not significant (p = 0.595). Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference in the history of previous thyroid disease, regional metastases, and ultrasound examination abnormalities between classic PTC and PTCVF patients at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang.
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.
