LAPORAN KASUS: VERTIGO PADA PASIEN STROKE ISKEMIK VERTEBROBASILER DAN SYOK HIPOVOLEMI

Latar Belakang: Vertigo merupakan gejala yang paling sering timbul pada stroke iskemik vertebrobasiler. Mekanisme penyebab yang paling sering adalah emboli. Syok hipovolemi pada stroke iskemik vertebrobasiler merupakan kasus yang jarang terjadi. Laporan Kasus: Seorang wanita usia 56 tahun datang ke IGD dengan keluhan lemas dan pusing berputar onset akut. Pusing berputar dirasakan terus menerus, intensitas sedang, disertai mual, muntah dan keringat dingin. Sejak 5 hari sebelum masuk rumah sakit, dikatakan oleh keluarga pasien mengalami penurunan nafsu makan dan minum. Pada pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan hipotensi, paresis nervus VII dan XII dextra UMN, hemiparese dextra, dan refleks babinski bilateral. Positif hasil radiologi CT scan kepala menunjukan iskemik lakunar di medulla oblongata, laboratorium ditemukan adanya hemokonsentrasi, imbalans eletrolit, hiperglikemi, dan penurunan fungsi ginjal. Pasien diberikan rehidrasi intravena, balans cairan, antiplatelet dan terapi simptomatis sesuai keluhan. Diskusi: Stroke iskemik vertebrobasiler disebabkan oleh mekanisme embolik, trombotik, atau hemodinamik. Penyebab mekanisme hemodinamik adalah penurunan aliran darah sistem vertebrobasiler yang sering terjadi pada usia tua.

The Case Study of Islamic-Education Leadership Model: What We Can Learn from the Dynamics of Principals’ Leadership in Indonesian Excellence Islamic Boarding-Schools

Educational leadership research has been more oriented toward western theories and contexts, ignoring the contextual conditions that shape leadership styles and characteristics. Whereas some ideas analyze that leadership is inseparable from context and is more appropriate according to the setting of a particular society. This study aims to avoid bias when interpreting leadership patterns by finding a concept of Islamic leadership in the field of Education. This research was conducted using qualitative research methods with a case study approach. The participants of the study were two principals and five academic staff in two well-known excellent Islamic senior high schools which become school models pointed out by MORA Indonesia. The data validity checking technique was done by credibility test including method triangulation namely using direct interviews, observations, online surveys, and data sources triangulation using participative observations, school archives, field notes, photos, and video documentation while the researchers were at the location. Triangulation is used to check data from various sources in various ways. Study results showed that the principal's leadership pattern implemented Islamic religious values and the context of the society. Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, where Islamic-based education has been facilitated by the state and included in the policy system, so the findings can be considered when carrying out educational management based on Islamic values

Infected omental cyst complicated with subacute intestinal obstruction and ileal erosion in a 2-year-old boy: a case report

An omental cyst is a rare intraabdominal pathology that can cause acute abdomen and intestinal obstruction among children. A 2-year-old boy presented with fever, bilious vomiting, abdomen distension and loose stool of acute onset. The chest and abdominal radiographs showed right pleural effusion and prominent small bowels with thickening walls respectively. Ultrasonography revealed a gastrointestinal duplication cyst. An exploratory laparotomy was done and found a 5x5 cm infected omental cyst, severely adhered to and eroded into the ileum causing a small perforation. Omental cyst excision and ileal primary repair were done. The final diagnosis was a benign omental cyst. Omental cyst is usually asymptomatic; however, symptomatic omental cyst should be cautious for bleeding, intestinal obstruction, infection, torsion and rupture

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein/albumin (hs-CRP/albumin) ratio as a predictor of deterioration of clinical outcome in central nervous system infections

Central nervous system (CNS) infections such as encephalitis, meningitis, or myelitis have high morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a sensitive marker of acute inflammation, while albumin is the most abundant protein component in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSS). Infection triggers an inflammatory response so that an increase in the hs-CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) can be a predictor of worsening clinical outcome in patients with CNS infections. However, studies examining the predictor value of serum and CSF CAR on worsening clinical outcomes of patients are limited, particularly in CNS infections. The purpose of this study was to prove the CAR as a predictor of worsening clinical outcome in patients with CNS infections.  It was an observational study using a prospective cohort design. Fifty subjects recruited until October 2021 at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital were involved.  The multivariate regression analysis showed that serum CAR (OR=3.604; 95%CI=1.487-8.736; p =0.005) could be a single predictor. However, by combining three variables, namely serum CAR, CSF CAR, and decreased consciousness at admission, could be a stronger predictor of worsening clinical outcome in patients with CNS infection (AUC = 97.1%; 95%CI = 0.929-1.00; p <0.001). The optimal cut-off value for serum CAR was 1.35 (Youden index = 0.88, sensitivity = 96%, specificity = 92%) while for CSF CAR was 0.14 (Youden index = 0.60, sensitivity = 76%, specificity = 84%). In conclusion, a combination predictive model of three variables, namely serum CAR, CSF CAR, and awareness at admission can be a stronger predictor of clinical outcome in patients with CNS infection than serum CAR alone

A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the Development of Sustainable Heritage Cities in Malaysia

This article highlights previous studies on the development of sustainable heritage cities using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data obtained through various search methods, such as (1) a rigorous search of leading major journal databases (Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Science Direct) and additional journal databases (Google Scholar and My Cite), and (2) handpicking/manual searching. Once the data was obtained, it was analysed through systematic searching strategies (SSS) to obtain accurate and precise material in the field studied. The obtained material was screened in three SSS steps, namely: (1) identification (2) screening, and (3) eligibility. As a result, a total of 42 materials and documents were successfully found and summarized for highlighting. Next, the findings of the analysis were broken down into: (1) the frequency of sustainable urban heritage development studies conducted by country, (2) sustainable urban heritage development constructs (economic prosperity, social well-being, environmental well-being, cultural heritage, government, and community), and (3) study areas (heritage cities, heritage buildings, and historical sites). The findings of this study can contribute to a new paradigm for studies that involve the sustainable development of heritage cities in Malaysia in achieving the 2030 Agenda.   Abstrak.

The development of a construct in the heritage urban sustainability index

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have outlined that every country in the world needs to create sustainable cities for communities by 2030. The first thing to consider is to identify sustainability indicators to be used as a guide in measuring the sustainability index. Therefore, this article aims to explore the formation of the heritage urban sustainability index construct in Malaysia using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The respondents consisted of 100 residents in the heritage city of Kajang, Malaysia, who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Likert scale questionnaires 1 to 5 were used to elicit feedback. The results showed that the items in each study construct achieved acceptable reliability with Cronbach’s alpha values greater than 0.70 and met the normality test requirements. Data was processed using EFA for grouping items according to appropriate constructs. The results of the study from 154 items of the questionnaire have formed five main constructs of urban heritage sustainability in Malaysia, namely (1) economic prosperity, (2) social well-being, (3) environmental well-being, (4) cultural heritage, and (5) the role of government and community. The results of this study also meet the index value requirements set by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. Furthermore, the formation of the five constructs of this study directly demonstrates the relationship between items according to constructs. Indirectly, these findings help research on the sustainability of heritage cities in other areas as well
