A radiological examination will be performed for these patients to diagnose Echinococcus granulosus&nbsp; parasite by find echinococcal cysts. All of these patients were involved&nbsp; in this study and&nbsp;&nbsp; during the period&nbsp;&nbsp; starting from October 2023 to the end of January 2024, from all ages of patient from both sex (Males and Females&nbsp; At Al-Sader Medical City, AL-Hakeem General Hospital, AL-Haidarya general Hospital and Al-Hayat Hospital.</em> <em>The mean level of TNF-α in patients is 163.27 pg/ml, which is significantly higher than the mean level of 38.58 pg/ml in controls (p-value &lt; 0.001). The prevalence of hydatid disease in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf in this study was 33%. Levels of the cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1ß, and IL-4 are more important in patients with Echinococcus granulosus&nbsp; under 40 years of age than in those over 40 years of age.</em></p> 2024-10-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal La Medihealtico https://newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaMedihealtico/article/view/1597 Anesthesia Management of Patients with Esophageal Atresia/Traceoesophageal Fistula undergoing Thoracostomy and Esophagostomy Procedures 2024-11-01T08:24:31+07:00 Triade Marthendro tmarthendro@gmail.com Nopian Hidayat tmarthendro@gmail.com Pratama Ananda tmarthendro@gmail.com <p><em>Esophageal atresia is a congenital disorder characterized by a disruption in the continuity of the esophageal lumen. Esophageal atresia may be accompanied by tracheoesophageal fistula, which is a lumen connection between the proximal and or distal part of the esophagus and the airway (trachea). Type C atresia is the most prevalent, which is approximately 88.5% to 90% of cases, where there is proximal esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula. In this case, a 9-day-old infant was admitted to Arifin Ahmad Hospital for thoracostomy and esophagostomy surgery due to continuous mucus discharge. The patient underwent awake intubation and was positioned intraoperatively, with a tilt to the right when an orogastric tube was placed. During surgery, the patient maintained stable hemodynamic and was subsequently admitted to the NICU using a ventilator. Infants with esophageal atresia often show symptoms of hypersalivation and shortness of breath caused by aspiration pneumonia. When the nasogastric tube cannot pass through the esophagus, atresia can be suspected. Radiology studies play an important role in diagnosing esophageal atresia, confirming esophageal atresia with or without fistula and diagnosing other anomalies associated with VACTERL. </em></p> 2024-10-31T14:46:16+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal La Medihealtico https://newinera.com/index.php/JournalLaMedihealtico/article/view/1522 In Vitro Anti-inflammatory Effect of Secretome from Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in COVID-19 Patient Blood: A Study on sIL-6R, sgp130, IL-1RA and Anti/pro Inflammatory Cytokines 2024-11-01T08:24:07+07:00 Nisrina Asysyifa asysyifan@gmail.com Heri Wibowo bowoheri04@gmail.com Murdani Abdullah murdani08@gmail.com Isabella Kurna Liem bellajo04@gmail.com Arleni Bustami arleni.ab@gmail.com <p><em>COVID-19 exhibits a wide range of clinical manifestations which severity of the disease is linked to uncontrolled escalation of inflammatory mediators. Ongoing research has identified the immunomodulatory effects of the MSC-derived secretome as a potential therapy for COVID-19. However, the precise mechanism by which the secretome exerts its therapeutic effect on COVID-19 remains unclear. This study aims to investigate whether the components of the UC-MSC-derived secretome can alter the inflammatory characteristics of immune cells. To achieve this, an in vitro study will be conducted involving co-incubation of whole blood with secretomes, followed by LPS stimulation. A total of 12 blood samples from severe COVID-19 and healthy subjects were cultured into three groups (RPMI control, 3μl and 9μl secretome group) incubated for 24 hours. Then, the cultures were exposed to LPS for 48 hours. The levels of sIL-6R, sgp130, IL-1RA, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-10 were measured. Results showed that LPS increased IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10 production, while reducing sIL-6R, and sgp130, but no changes seen in IFN-γ in secretome-incubated blood cultures. The post-LPS/pre-LPS ratio analysis was conducted to investigate the anti-inflammatory potential of secretome. It was found that the secretome provides its anti-inflammatory effects through the role of IL-1RA.</em></p> 2024-10-31T14:59:47+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal La Medihealtico
