"Purpose: This multicenter, randomized controlled study evaluates the safety of early oral feeding following gastrectomy, and its effect on the length of postoperative hospital stay.Methods: The subjects of this study were patients who underwent distal gastrectomy (DG) or total gastrectomy (TG) for gastric cancer between January 2014 and December 2015. Patients were randomly assigned to the early oral feeding group (intervention group) or the conventional postoperative management group (control group) for each procedure. We evaluated the length of postoperative hospital stay and the incidence of postoperative complications in each group.Results: No significant differences in length of postoperative stay were found between the intervention and control groups of the patients who underwent DG. The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly greater in the DG intervention group. In contrast, the length of postoperative stay was significantly shorter in the TG intervention group, although the TG group did not attain the established target sample size.Conclusion: Early oral feeding did not shorten the postoperative hospital stay after DG. The higher incidence of postoperative complications precluded the unselected adoption of early oral feeding for DG patients. Further confirmative studies are required to definitively establish the potential benefits of early oral feeding for TG patients."

"PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of comorbidities on the surgical outcomes of early cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected for patients with acute cholecystitis who underwent early cholecystectomy. Patients were separated into three groups based on the cholecystitis severity grade, and the surgical outcomes of early cholecystectomy were analyzed. Patients with mild and moderate cholecystitis were subdivided into a comorbidity group (n = 10) and a non-comorbidity group (n = 83).RESULTS: There were 57 (55.3%) patients with mild cholecystitis, 36 (35.0%) with moderate cholecystitis, and 10 (9.7%) with severe cholecystitis. The surgical outcomes were significantly worse for patients with severe cholecystitis than for patients with mild or moderate cholecystitis. There were no postoperative deaths after cholecystectomy. There were no significant differences in the complication rate (P = 0.629), conversion rate (P = 0.114), or intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.147) between the comorbidity and non-comorbidity groups.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that early cholecystectomy can be performed safely for patients with mild and moderate cholecystitis even if comorbidities are present. Early cholecystectomy may be an alternative treatment strategy for patients with severe cholecystitis who are candidates for anesthesia and surgery."

"Merasakan kehadiran sebuah ruang dilakukan melalui sebuah pengalaman ruang tertentu pada ruang itu sendiri. Pengalaman ruang memberikan sebuah gambaran kepada kita akan kondisi ruang yang ada di sekeliling kita. Interposition merupakan salah satu cara untuk mencapai sebuah pengalaman ruang tertentu dan memberikan sebuah gambaran yang baru bagi kita terhadap ruang yang ada disekitar kita. Interposition, melalui penerapan suture yang diaplikasikan sebagai alur kegiatan manusia, serta disajikan dalam sebuah konteks inside-outside menjadi sebuah metode baru dalam mendesain."

"Melasma merupakan penyakit pigmentasi wajah yang menimbulkan hendaya psikososial. Penurunan kualitas hidup pasien tidak selalu terbukti berkorelasi dengan keparahan klinisnya. MELASQoL-INA adalah instrumen evaluasi kualitas hidup pasien melasma adaptasi Bahasa Indonesia yang tervalidasi, sedangkan modified melasma severity index (mMASI) adalah skoring derajat keparahan melasma. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah perbaikan derajat keparahan melasma pascaterapi krim triple combination (flucinolon acetonide 0,01%, hydroquinone 4%, dan tretinoin 0,05%) berkorelasi dengan peningkatan kualitas hidup. Subjek dengan melasma menjalani terapi krim triple combination selama 12 minggu dalam penelitian one group pretest-posttest. Skor MELASQoL-INA dan mMASI dinilai setiap 4 minggu. Tiga puluh perempuan berusia 30-60 tahun, bertipe kulit IV atau V, tanpa penyakit kulit lain di wajah, menyelesaikan seluruh rangkaian penelitian. Pada kunjungan awal, median skor mMASI dan MELASQoL-INA adalah 4,45 (1,3–13,9) dan 37 (10-70). Pada minggu ke-12 terjadi penurunan median skor mMASI menjadi 1,80 (0,60-6,30; p<0,001) dan skor MELASQoL-INA menjadi 17 (10-59; p<0,001). Skor mMASI pascaterapi tidak terbukti berkorelasi dengan skor MELASQoL-INA (r=0,029; p=0,879), namun perbaikan skor mMASI terbukti berkorelasi positif lemah dengan perbaikan skor MELASQoL-INA (r=0,397; p=0,03). Terapi krim triple combination selama 12 minggu memperbaiki keparahan melasma dan kualitas hidup pasien secara bermakna. Terdapat korelasi bermakna antara perubahan skor keduanya.

Melasma is a common facial pigmentary disorder. Despite causing psychosocial distress, the reduced quality of life (QoL) was not consistently shown to correlate with clinical severity. MELASQoL-INA is a validated instrument adapted into Indonesian for evaluating the QoL of melasma patient, while modified melasma area and severity index (mMASI) was a tool for assessing melasma severity. Aim: To determine if clinical improvement after triple combination cream therapy (flucinolone acetonide 0.01%, hydroquinone 4%, and tretinoin 0.05%) correlated with increased QoL. Subjects with melasma were treated with triple combination cream for 12 weeks in a one-group pretest-posttest study. MELASQoL-INA and mMASI assessments were carried out every 4 weeks. Thirty females aged 30-60 year-old, skin type IV or V, and devoid of other facial skin problems had completed the study. At the initial visit the median of mMASI and MELASQoL-INA score were 4.45 (1.3–13.9) and 37 (10–70). At week-12, the median of mMASI score was reduced to 1.80 (0.60-6.30; p<0.001) and MELASQoL-INA score to 17 (10-59; p<0.001). While there was no correlation between posttreatment mMASI and MELASQoL-INA scores (r=0.029; p=0.879), a weak positive correlation was found between the change of mMASI and MELASQoL-INA scores (r=0.397; p=0.03). Twelve-week course of triple combination cream alleviated melasma severity and patient’s quality of life significantly. There was a significant, but weak, correlation between the improvement in severity and quality of life."
