Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji karakteristik sosiodemografi pasien HIV/AIDS dan mengevaluasi penggunaan obat antiretroviral pada pasien tersebut. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif-evaluatif dengan metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan menggunakan data retrospektif pada tahun 2015 di RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Data diperoleh dari rekam medik dengan kriteria: pasien HIV/AIDS laki-laki dan perempuan; berusia 18-65 tahun; dan menggunakan obat antiretroviral. Profil sosiodemografi dianalisis sercara deskriptif, sementara kesesuaian penggunaan obat dievaluasi dan dibandingkan dengan standar pengobatan. Dari 136 rekam medik pasien yang diambil, 89 diantaranya memenuhi kriteria, dimana 76,40% merupakan pasien laki-laki. Pasien kebanyakan berusia antara 26-35 tahun (41,57%), didominasi oleh pasien yang menikah (58,43%) dan mereka yang berpendidikan SMA (56,18%). Pegawai swasta dan ibu rumah tangga merupakan jenis pekerjaan dengan persentase tertinggi (masing-masing 19,10%). Penyakit ini sebagian besar diperoleh melalui hubungan seksual (61,80%) dengan PSK (Pekerja Seks Komersial) sebagai partner seks yang paling dominan (38,33%). Evaluasi penggunaan obat menunjukkan bahwa obat antiretroviral digunakan dengan 100% kesesuaian indikasi dan dosis, sementara hanya 97,76% pasien yang menerima pemberian obat yang sesuai. Studi tersebut juga mengungkapkan bahwa 10,11% pasien memiliki potensi terjadinya interaksi obat. Pengobatan antiretroviral memerlukan pemilihan obat yang tepat untuk meningkatkan efikasi. Apoteker dianjurkan untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam pengobatan pasien HIV/AIDS.
Infeksi virus corona baru, pertama kali terdeteksi pada akhir Desember 2019, dengan jumlah kasus terkonfirmasi lebih dari 33 juta kasus dan lebih dari 900.000 kematian dilaporkan. Terdefinisi sebagai pandemi, dan belum ada “obat khusus” yang dianggap dapat mengatasinya. Salah satu pendekatan terapeutik yang sedang dievaluasi dalam berbagai uji klinis adalah saat ini adalah remdesivir,telah disetujui oleh Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM sebagai obat Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) sebagai opsi penggunaan darurat Tujuan penulisan ini untuk memberikan gambaran tentang penemuan remdesivir, mekanisme aksi, dan penelitian terkini yang mengeksplorasi efektivitas klinisnya. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan pencarian sumber data PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct dan Cochrane hingga November 2020 dengan kata kombinasi kata kunci Convalescent Plasma”; “SARS-CoV-2”, Virus Corona dan dibatasi pada jurnal berbahasa Inggris. yang mengulas penemuan remdesivir, mekanisme kerja, farmakokinetik, farmakodinamik, dan efikasi uji klinis remdesivir dalam pengobatan pasien COVID-19. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini bahwa remdesivir memiliki efek klinis yang baik setelah 10 hari pengobatan pada pasien COVID-19.Kata Kunci: COVID-19, EUA, Remdesivir, SARS-CoV-2 The new coronavirus infection identified at the end of December 2019 and is receiving a lot of attention around the world. Globally, the number of confirmed cases has increased to more than 33 million cases and more than 900,000 deaths have been reported. This condition is defined as a pandemic situation, and so far no "special drug" is believed to be able to overcome it. One therapeutic approach currently being evaluated in various clinical studies is remdesivir. This drug is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) as Emergency Medicine (EUA). This emergency option for remdesivir is considered a promising option for treating patients with COVID19. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of recent studies investigating the discovery of remdesivir, its mechanism of action, and its clinical efficacy. The survey method was conducted by searching the data sources of PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Cochrane until November 2020. Researchers limit literary studies to English journals. The results of 1000 articles searched that met the selection criteria were 10 articles examining the results of remdesivir, its mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the efficacy of clinical remdesivir in the treatment of patients with COVID 19. The conclusion of this study is that remdesivir has a good clinical effect 10 days after treatment of patients with COVID19.
Background: One of the issues in burn patients is decreasing the body immune system and making it difficult to treat. Probiotics, which are commonly used to treat GI tract imbalances, are also known to be able to modulate the immune system. Objectives: This scoping review aims to explore literature about the effects of probiotics on the immune system in burn patients and to identify gaps in the existing literature. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six electronic databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Cochrane, EBSCO/CINAHL, DOAJ and other databases) to identify relevant peer-reviewed studies, with time limits from June 2005 until November 2020, using search terms with database-appropriate keywords. Articles were screened and assessed for eligibility. Results: We identified 901 articles. Of these, 10 articles met the inclusion criteria. In this Scoping Review, the proportion of probiotic combination types mostly used multi-strain probiotic combinations. The frequency and types of probiotic strains most widely used was Lactobacillus spp (58%). The highest concentration of oral probiotics route used was in the total probiotic cell content of 109 CFU (42%) and the duration of probiotic administration was 14 days (50%). Meanwhile, improvement of the immune system in burns has been shown by the laboratory outcome parameters (increased the secretion of IgA, decreased of CRP serum, IL-6, leukocytes, and neutrophils), and also the clinical outcome parameters (improvement of GI imbalance, decreased the mortality, decreased the risk of SIRS/sepsis, and shortened Length of Hospital Stay). Conclusions: To perform the modulation of the immune system in burns, the optimal dose, strain, and duration of probiotic administration has not been established or still varies widely. Therefore, more clinical studies are needed using placebos or controls to get better validity regarding the evidence of effectiveness and safety at various degrees of burns.
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.
