"Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune–mediated disease of skin and mucous membran leading to progressive blistering and chronic erosions. It often begins with blister formations which easily rupture. The characteristic feature is positive nikolsky sign which may or not be presented simultaneously. Infrequently, ocular involvement may be seen as conjunctivitis. Establishment of early definite diagnosis is critical and requires correlation of clinical and histopathological findings. Because of this conditon is a potentially life-threatening, the risk of complications and mortality rate increases if initial management is non comprehensive and inadequate. Treatment is directed at supression of autoimmune process, typically administration of corticosteroids. This article report a case in a 51 years old woman who had painful chronic oral ulcer and poor general health condition. Prior to the visit to Oral Medicine clinic, patient was treated by her general practitioners for several months, without either established diagnosis nor comprehensive and adequate management, so that she had no clinical improvement. Clinical examination at the first visit in OralMedicine clinic Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, revealed bula in the skin, conjunctivitis, easily bleed oral mucosae, widespread erosions and ulcerations of the lips, gingiva, tongue, and buccal mucosae. Biopsy of one of skin erosions demonstarting suprabasal intraepithelial acantholysis. Multi divisions in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, such as Oral Medicine, Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Ophtalmology, ENT, were involved in treating this case. Patient received high dose methylprednisolone sistemically and prednisone topically for the lips. General remission achieved in several days. Thus, establishment of early definite diagnosis and adequate management are important in management of Pemphigus vulgaris."

"Prostat menjadi salah satu penyakit berbahaya yang mematikan bagi pria di dunia. Pengobatan menggunakan terapi radiasi menjadi salah satu pilihan utama pada kanker prostat. Metode 3DCRT dan IMRT digunakan dalam perencanaan terapi radiasi untuk kanker prostat dengan Linac sebagai modalitas penyinaran yang berenergi 6X dengan dosis per fraksi berjumlah 2,5 Gy dan fraksi yang digunakan berjumlah 30. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk verifikasi distribusi dosis radioterapi antara teknik 3DCRT dengan teknik IMRT untuk terapi kanker prostat dengan simulasi Monte Carlo menggunakan EGSnrc. 3DCRT menggunakan 4 lapangan dan IMRT menggunakan 5 lapangan untuk terapi. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan transpor dosis yang bergerak untuk masing-masing lapangan dan terdistribusi pada organ target dan menunjukkan distribusi dosis pada PTV dan OAR (rectum dan bladder). Passing rate gamma index yang diperoleh untuk 3DCRT dan IMRT masing-masing sebesar 72,31 % dan 71,34% dimana masih belum mencapai passing rate yang ideal baik pada 3DCRT maupun IMRT.

Prostate is one of the most deadly diseases for men in the world. Treatment using radiation therapy is one of the main options for prostate cancer. The 3DCRT and IMRT methods are used in planning radiation therapy for prostate cancer with Linac as the radiation modality with 6X energy with a dose per fraction of 2.5 Gy and the fraction used is 30. The purpose of this study is to verify the radiotherapy dose distribution between the 3DCRT technique and the IMRT technique for the treatment of prostate cancer with Monte Carlo simulation using EGSnrc. 3DCRT uses 4 fields and IMRT uses 5 fields for treatment. The results showed that the dose transport moved for each field and was distributed to the target organ and showed the dose distribution on PTV and Organ at Risk (rectum and bladder). The passing rate gamma index obtained (72,31% for 3DCRT and 71,34% for IMRT) has not yet reached the ideal passing rate for both 3DCRT and IMRT."

"Latar Belakang: Pemeriksaan dan diagnosis kanker prostat (PCa) diperlukan untuk memberikan manajemen optimal pada tahap awal. Meskipun telah dibahas dalam banyak pedoman, implementasi pemeriksaan dan diagnosis PCa di Indonesia masih belum diketahui. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pola pemeriksaan dan diagnosis PCa di antara urolog Indonesia serta kepatuhan mereka terhadap pedoman.Metode: Studi potong lintang ini dilakukan antara Februari dan Juli 2019. Responden adalah urolog Indonesia yang terdaftar sebagai anggota Perhimpunan Urologi Indonesia (IUA) dan telah berpraktik selama setidaknya enam bulan. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner yang dibagikan dalam simposium urologi nasional dan secara elektronik melalui Google Form. Data disajikan secara deskriptif, dan semua data diproses menggunakan SPSS versi 23.Hasil: Dari 458 urolog, 195 (42,6%) memberikan respons lengkap. Sebagian besar responden, 181 (92,8%) urolog, menggunakan pedoman IUA. Di antara 103 (52,8%) responden yang melakukan pemeriksaan, hampir separuh (42,7%) setuju untuk memeriksa pasien yang berusia ≥ 50 tahun atau ≥ 45 tahun dengan riwayat keluarga PCa. Selain itu, 76,8% akan mengulang pemeriksaan setiap tahun, dan 35,6% akan menghentikannya ketika pasien berusia 70 tahun. Pemeriksaan rektal digital (DRE) sering dilakukan untuk pemeriksaan (74,5%), sementara tes antigen spesifik prostat (PSA) hanya dilakukan dalam 52,3% kasus. Tes PSA tersedia di 74,8% rumah sakit. Reseksi transuretral prostat (TURP) masih digunakan oleh 67,2% responden untuk diagnosis. Hanya 52,3% peserta yang menggunakan biopsi prostat transrektal untuk diagnosis, menggunakan anestesi (78,1%) selama prosedur, dan peningkatan kadar PSA (98%) sebagai indikasi. Namun, USG Transrektal (TRUS) hanya tersedia di 49% rumah sakit. Studi ini menemukan bahwa tingkat kepatuhan urolog Indonesia terhadap pedoman adalah 63,3% (9-100%).Kesimpulan: Pemeriksaan dan diagnosis PCa masih bervariasi di antara urolog Indonesia, yang mungkin disebabkan oleh ketersediaan modalitas diagnostik yang berbeda.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) screening and diagnosis are mandatory to deliver optimal management in the early phase. Even though it has been discussed in many guidelines, the implementation of PCa screening and diagnosis in Indonesia remains unknown. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of PCa screening and diagnosis among Indonesian urologists and their adherence to guidelines.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between February and July 2019. Respondents were Indonesian urologists registered as members of the Indonesian Urological Association (IUA) and had already practiced for at least six months. Data were collected using questionnaires, which were distributed at a national urology symposium and electronically via Google Form. Data were presented descriptively, and all data were processed using SPSS version 23.

Result: Of 458 urologists, 195 (42.6%) gave full responses. Most of the respondents, 181 (92.8%) urologists, used the IUA guidelines. Among the 103 (52.8%) respondents who performed screening, nearly half (42.7%) agreed to screen patients aged ≥ 50 years or ≥ 45 years with a family history of PCa. Moreover, 76.8% would repeat screening annually, and 35.6% would stop when the patient's age reached 70 years old. Digital rectal examination (DRE) was frequently performed for screening (74.5%), while prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests were only performed in 52.3% of cases. The PSA test was available in 74.8% of hospitals. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was still used by 67.2% of respondents for diagnosis. Only 52.3 % of participants used transrectal prostate biopsy for diagnosis, using anesthesia (78.1%) during the procedure, and increased PSA level (98%) as its indication. However, Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) was only available in 49% of hospitals. This study found that Indonesian urologist adherence level toward guidelines was 63.3% (9-100%).

Conclusion: PCa screening and diagnosis are still varied among Indonesian urologists, which might arise due to the different availability of diagnostic modalities."

"Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui bagaimana upaya diagnosis kanker prostat yang dilakukan oleh spesialis urologidi Indonesia. Metode: Dilakukan pembagian kuesioner yang dirancang sendiri kepada Spesialis Urologi di Indonesia. Kuesioner berisi 11 pertanyaan tentang jenis dan indikasi pemeriksaan yang dilakukan, serta fasilitas yang tersedia di tempat responden dalam penegakan diagnosis kanker prostat. Hasil: Sebanyak 65 (36%) dari 182 (saat penelitian ini dilakukan) spesialis urologi di Indonesia mengembalikan formulir kuesioner. Dari jenis RS primer tempat bekerja terbanyak berasal dari RS swasta (35%), disusul RS pendidikan utama Fakultas Kedokteran (32%). Seluruh responden menjadikan lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) sebagai indikasi untuk melakukan pemeriksaan colok dubur. Selain itu 83% responden juga menjawab, peningkatan PSA sebagai salah satu indikasi pemeriksaan colok dubur. Pemeriksaan PSA dilakukan oleh 72% responden pada penderita dengan kecurigaan kanker prostat tanpa melihat usia. Sebanyak 66% responden mengerjakan sendiri pemeriksaan transrectal ultrasonografi (TRUS) dan biopsi, 18% merujuk pada sejawat lain di propinsi yang sama dan 15% tidak memiliki fasilitas TRUS dan biopsi di propinsi tempat bekerja. Sebanyak 75% responden memiliki fasilitas bone scan di Rumah Sakit primer, atau tersedia di RS pada propinsi yang sama. Indikasi tersering melakukan biopsi prostat adalah pada PSA lebih dari 10 ng/ml tanpa melihat usia. Sebanyak 86% responden melakukan biopsi pada kecurigaan kanker prostat melalui colok dubur tanpa melihat usia. Sembilan puluh persen responden menggunakan antibiotik profilaksis golongan Kuinolon untuk biopsi prostat. Sebanyak 46% menggunakan analgesia oral atau suppositoria atau kombinasi keduanya sebagai analgesia dalam biopsi prostat. Kesimpulan: Dalam mendiagnosis kanker prostat, spesialis urologi di Indonesia melakukan pemeriksaan colok dubur, PSA dan TRUS biopsi prostat, namun masih terdapat perbedaan pendapat tentang indikasi dan waktu dilakukannya masing-masing pemeriksaan. Ketersediaan fasilitas diagnostik juga berpengaruh dalam diagnostik kanker prostat di Indonesia. Belum tersedianya guideline Nasional pada saat penelitian ini dilakukandiduga menyebabkan perbedaan pendapat tersebut.

Purpose: To get information on diagnosis of prostate cancer conducted by urologist in Indonesia.

Method: A self-constructed questionnare of 11 questions about the type and indication of the tests, as well as the available facilities at the place of the respondents to diagnose prostate cancer distributed to Indonesian Urologist.

Result: As much as 65 (36%) from 182 (when the survey was conducted) Indonesian Urologist returned the questionnare. Most of them worked in Private Hospital (35%), followed by Medical School Hospital (32%). All respondents performed DRE in patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). Elevated PSA was also indication for conducting DRE in 83% respondents. PSA level was tested by 72% respondents in patients with suspicion of prostate cancer regardless of age. As much as 66% respondents did Trans Rectal Ultrasound (TRUS) and prostate biopsy by themselves, 18% referred to other urologists in the same province and 15% didn?t have TRUS and prostate biopsy facilities in their province. Bone scan was available in the Primary Hospital or another hospital in the province of 75% respondents. Main indication to perform prostate biopsy was elevated PSA level above 10ng/ml regardless of the age. Meanwhile, 86% respondents did prostate biopsy in suspiciousness of prostate cancer by DRE regardless of age. Most respondents (90%) chose Quinolon as prophylaxis antibiotic in prostate biopsy and 46% respondents used oral analgesia or suppository or both in prostate biopsy.

Conclusions: In diagnosing prostate cancer, Indonesian Urologists performed DRE, PSA serum analysis and TRUS biopsy of the prostate. But the Indonesian Urologists still had different opinions about the indications and timing of the procedure. The availability of diagnostic equipment and unavailability of National Guideline of Prostate Cancer when this study was conducted played a role of how the prostate cancer diagnosed in Indonesia."
