2025-09-18T17:33:40+07:00

Abstract. Bacterial keratitis is a corneal infection that may lead to pain, visual impairment, and even permanent blindness if not promptly and appropriately treated. In outpatient settings, empirical antibiotic therapy is often chosen as the initial management because culture and sensitivity results require more time, whereas delays in therapy may worsen the clinical condition. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of empirical antibiotic therapy on clinical improvement and follow-up visits in patients with bacterial keratitis. A systematic literature review was conducted by searching PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published between 2015 and 2025. From 242 articles identified, 12 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed further. The findings revealed that moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin were the most frequently prescribed topical antibiotics, with treatment durations ranging from 7 to 21 days. Overall, empirical therapy was shown to accelerate clinical improvement, particularly within the first week of treatment. However, evidence supporting a reduction in follow-up visit frequency remains limited and presents varied results across studies, potentially due to differences in study design and patient conditions. Factors such as treatment regimen, duration of therapy, disease severity, and patient characteristics were also reported to influence the variability in outcomes. In conclusion, empirical antibiotic therapy appears to be clinically effective for bacterial keratitis. Nevertheless, to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of its impact on follow-up visits and implications for outpatient services in Indonesia, further research with larger sample sizes and prospective study designs is required.

Analisis Efektivitas Biaya Terapi Antihipertensi di Indonesia: Systematic Literature Review Berdasarkan Parameter ACER dan ICER Periode 2019–2024”

2025-10-18T09:01:07+07:00

This study aims to systematically review the literature analyzing the cost-effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy in Indonesia for the 2019–2024 period and to identify the most cost-effective regimens based on Average Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ACER) and Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER). The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, with literature searches performed on PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect using the keywords “cost-effectiveness,” “antihypertensive,” “ACER,” “ICER,” and “Indonesia.” Selected articles were assessed for relevance, data completeness, and methodological quality.The findings indicate that therapies based on Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB), particularly amlodipine, and the combination of ACE inhibitors (ACEI) + CCB, are the most cost-effective regimens compared to Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB), diuretics, and branded drugs. These regimens provide higher clinical effectiveness at a lower treatment cost, especially among patients with uncomplicated hypertension or comorbid diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the use of generic drugs consistently demonstrated lower ICER values compared to branded products, supporting cost-efficiency policies under Indonesia’s National Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan). These findings may serve as a foundation for developing the National Formulary and cost-efficient drug procurement policies. Limitations include the narrow range of studies and the absence of Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY) and indirect cost analyses, suggesting future research should adopt a multicenter cost-utility approach for more comprehensive evaluation

2025-11-08T07:58:37+07:00

Suliki Orange (Citrus sinensis L.) represents a tropical fruit variety abundant in ascorbic acid, though its concentration undergoes changes throughout storage periods. The present investigation examines how temperature conditions and storage intervals influence vitamin C levels in Suliki oranges through iodimetric analysis. Fruit specimens underwent storage at two distinct temperature settings (ambient and refrigerated conditions) across varying durations of 1, 4, and 8 days. Preliminary qualitative analysis utilizing Fehling A and B reagents demonstrated color transformation to brownish-green, confirming vitamin C presence. Findings revealed that ambient temperature storage maintained vitamin C concentrations between 23.7-25.8 mg/100 g, peaking at day 4 (25.8 mg/100 g). During ambient storage spanning days 1-4, vitamin C levels rose from 25 mg/100 g to 26 mg/100 g. Contrastingly, refrigerated storage exhibited declining patterns from 25.20 mg/100 g (day 1) to 22.35 mg/100 g (day 4). These findings demonstrate that both temperature and storage intervals significantly impact vitamin C stability in Suliki oranges, with brief ambient storage periods showing superior vitamin C preservation or enhancement relative to refrigerated conditions.

2025-11-03T20:56:24+07:00

Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) represents a complex pathophysiological dysfunction involving both the heart and kidneys, highly prevalent among adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF). This bidirectional interaction exacerbates both conditions, leading to markedly increased morbidity and mortality. This systematic literature review, which followed the PRISMA framework to synthesize current evidence on the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of CRS in adult populations. The findings indicate that CRS in this group is predominantly chronic (Types 2 and 4), driven by neurohormonal activation, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. Diagnostic challenges persist, requiring the integration of novel biomarkers with precise clinical assessment. In terms of management, an individualized and multidisciplinary approach is essential. Optimization of guideline-directed medical therapies, such as ACEi/ARB/ARNI and beta-blockers, must be accompanied by careful renal monitoring. While diuretics remain the cornerstone for volume control, novel treatments like SGLT2 inhibitors have shown significant benefits in improving both cardiovascular and renal outcomes simultaneously. In conclusion, effective CRS management requires a multidisciplinary strategy that balances cardioprotective and renoprotective effects. Further research is warranted to refine diagnostic tools and optimize therapeutic strategies to improve long-term patient outcomes.
