Retrospective Case Study

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which there is a gradual decline in kidney function. This disease is progressive and usually irreversible. Indications for hospitalized CKD patients with severe complications and do not allow inpatient therapy. This study was aimed to describe the overview and management of chronic kidney disease inpatient in Royal Prima General Hospital Medan. The type of research used is research with a descriptive and retrospective case study design. This study is based on medical record data related to inpatient CKD patients' diagnostic and management features at the Royal Prima General Hospital Medan in 2020. The research subjects were all inpatients diagnosed with CKD, whereas 100 research subjects with complete medical records were included in this study. It was found that the highest age group was 57-65 years, as much as 37.0%, and men as much as 27%. The chief complaint was shortness of breath at 43% and additional complaints, the most of which were fever + low back pain + edema at 38%. On physical examination, most of the inspections were weak, 55%. Most palpation was sociable 57%. There was auscultation of four abdominal regions and normal positive bowel sounds (93%). Complete blood count + blood sugar level + electrolytes + urea + creatinine 70%, the most combination medication is NaCl 0.9% + Furosemide injection 31%. Based on the length of stay, the longest was 13-14 days (20%).

Frederick Robert Miller, who died on 11 November 1967, was born on 2 May 1881, in Toronto, Canada. His paternal grandfather, Captain John Miller, of Bermuda, was co-owner of the brig Demerara which he sailed many times between Liverpool and the West Indies and South America. Following a mutiny on board his ship, Captain Miller was persuaded by his wife to leave the sea. They settled for a time in Dublin, Ireland, where they had a son, Allan Frederick Miller. The family later emigrated to Toronto, Canada, where Mr Allan Miller eventually became Secretary-Treasurer of the Toronto General Hospital, a position which he held for many years.

Odontogenic Keratocysts

Introdução: Os ceratocistos odontogênicos (CCA) são considerados raros cistos de desenvolvimento, derivados dos remanescentes da lâmina dentária, com atividade intraóssea benigna, porém localmente invasivo e agressivo. O tratamento para o ceratocisto odongênico é variado, podendo-se encontrar modalidades tais como:enucleação, isolada ou associada a curetagem, com osteotomia periférica, aplicação da solução de Carnoy ou crioterapia, descompressão, marsupialização e ressecções. Objetivo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de ceratocisto odontogênico, onde foi escolhida abordagem conservadora por curetagem e osteotomia periférica. Relato de caso: Paciente de 68 anos, leucoderma, referiu ao exame clínico dor espontânea em região retromolar esquerda e parestesia em lábio inferior. A paciente foi submetida a biopsia por aspiração e excisional, após confirmação histopatológica foi proposto uma enucleação associada a osteotomia periférica sob anestesia geral. A paciente permanece em acompanhamento clínico e radiográfico, sem sinais de recidiva da lesão. Conclusão: Embora apresentem um comportamento agressivo, os ceratocistos odontogêncios podem ser tratados com segurança, de forma conservadora, por meio de enucleação seguida de osteotomia periférica com mínimo de morbidade.

Acute Maculopathy

Purpose: To report the case of a 33-year old man who disclosed the first case of bilateral ocular involvement of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) with a different stage of the disease in each eye. Methods: Retrospective case report. Results: The study included a patient who incurred in a bilateral HFMD maculopathy. During 6 months follow-up period persistent abnormalities in fundus examination and in OCT scans were reported. Conclusion: We consider that our case shows that choriocapillaris is the primary target of HFMD maculopathy, for this reason we consider that ICGA is mandatory for early diagnosis and an effective treatment.

Closed Head

We report the case of a 69-year-old man admitted to the emergency department of a UK district general hospital with an extradural haematoma following closed head injury. He deteriorated rapidly before transfer to the regional neurosurgical centre and was treated with decompression of the extradural haematoma through an EZ-IO™ intraosseous needle in our department, with telephone guidance from the neurosurgeon. We believe this to be the first reported use of this technique in a district general hospital.

Intraperitoneal Insulin

A review of protocols for the administration of insulin in diabetics during CAPD in the various Toronto hospitals and from two other centers outside Canada show that they are similar but not identical. Toronto Western Hospital, Iowa Lutheran Hospital, Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital and Sunnybrook Medical Center use intraperitoneal insulin exclusively. Toronto General Hospital and the Wellesley Hospital used a combination of intraperitoneal and subcutaneous insulin. Most patients performed four exchanges daily, although some did three only. Nighttime insulin was reduced in most patients. Average insulin requirements were higher when given by intraperitoneal as opposed to subcutaneous injection. There was insufficient data to compare the control achieved with each protocol.

CONTEXT: Total occlusion of the common carotid is rare and the indications and techniques for surgical treatment are still a matter of controversy. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility of retrograde common carotid endarterectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective case report study. SETTING: Tertiary care private hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Three patients underwent ring-stripping retrograde common carotid endarterectomy. Their ages were 81, 68 and 65 years. All were hypertensive with generalized atherosclerosis, two had diabetes mellitus, and one had undergone coronary artery bypass some years earlier and had non-dialytic chronic renal insufficiency. Symptoms of brain ischemia were present in two patients. All patients had total occlusion of the common carotid, extending from the origin to the bifurcation and localized in the right common carotid in two cases. In two cases the internal carotid artery was also occluded. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Postoperative early mortality and stroke rate, and the medium and long-term endarterectomy patency. RESULTS: There were no deaths. One patient had a transient ischemic attack. All endarterectomies were patent after eight months, four years and seven years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: There is low mortality, and the procedure can be done through only one cervical incision. Tandem lesions of the carotid arteries can be treated together. It is suitable for long total occlusions of the common carotid, and long-term patency.
