"[ABSTRAKLatar belakang dan tujuan: Akne vulgaris (AV) adalah penyakit peradangan menahun unit pilosebasea yang bersifat swasirna, ditandai dengan lesi pleomorfik berupa papul, komedo, pustul, dan nodul. Pengobatan AV memerlukan waktu yang cukup lama. Penyakit menahun dengan waktu pengobatan yang lama, berdampak terhadap kepatuhan pasien. Kepatuhan pengobatan topikal lebih rendah daripada sistemik. Hanya akne vulgaris ringan (AVR) yang diterapi menggunakan obat-obatan topikal saja. Layanan pesan singkat merupakan salah satu cara yang praktis dan efisien dalam upaya meningkatkan kepatuhan pengobatan AV, dengan pertimbangan prevalensi AV lebih banyak pada usia remaja dan dewasa muda yang merupakan pengguna terbanyak layanan tersebut. Dengan layanan ini, diharapkan pasien tidak lupa menggunakan obat topikal pada AVR. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui efektivitas penggunaan pesan singkat elektronik terhadap kepatuhan pengobatan AVR.Metode: Studi eksperimen dengan desain randomized controlled trial (RCT) terhadap pasien AVR usia 15-25 tahun yang berobat ke Poliklinik Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (IKKK) Rumah Sakit dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM). Penelitian ini melibatkan 2 kelompok, yaitu: kelompok intervensi yang mendapat pesan singkat elektronik dan kelompok kontrol. Kedua kelompok diberi pengobatan tretinoin krim 0,05% dan/atau klindamisin gel 1,2% selama 6 minggu.Hasil: Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara kepatuhan pengobatan AVR kelompok kontrol dengan kelompok intervensi pada minggu kedua (p=0,376) dan keempat (p=0,432). Namun pada minggu keenam, kelompok intervensi secara bermakna lebih patuh daripada kelompok kontrol (p=0,032).Kesimpulan: Pesan singkat elektronik meningkatkan kepatuhan pengobatan AVR terutama pada minggu keenam di Poliklinik IKKK RSCM.

Background: Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentation disorder, clinically as

asymmetrical blackish brown macules, especially on the facial area. Several factors are

thought to play a role, including thyroid dysfunction and zinc deficiency.

Objective: To determine serum zinc levels in melasma and non-melasma patients with

and without thyroid dysfunction.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Jakarta in September-December

2019. There were 60 melasma patients and 60 non-melasma patients. The two groups

were matched for age and sex. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to

measure serum zinc levels. Blood laboratory was used to check thyroid function (TSH

and FT4). Statistical analysis was done by SPSS software.

Results: The mean serum zinc level in the melasma group was 10.25 ± 1.89 μmol / L

and non-melasma was 10.29 ± 1.46 μmol / L (p <0.901). The mean serum zinc level in

melasma patients with thyroid dysfunction was 8.77 ± 0.69, melasma without thyroid

dysfunction 10.33 ± 1.89, non-melasma with thyroid dysfunction 10.48 ± 2.4, and nonmelasma

without thyroid dysfunction 10.27 ± 1.4 (p <0.184).

Conclusions: There was no significant difference between serum zinc levels in the

melasma and non-melasma groups with and without thyroid dysfunction."

"Latar belakang: Alopesia androgenetik (AAG) merupakan penyebab kebotakan rambut yang paling sering ditemui dan mengganggu kualitas hidup. Meskipun AAG tidak mengancam nyawa, namun berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa AAG tidak hanya dianggap sebagai penyakit kulit/estetik semata namun berkaitan dengan kondisi-kondisi sistemik, salah satunya adalah sindrom metabolik (SM). Beberapa studi menunjukkan juga bahwa pola kebotakan pada AAG memiliki risiko yang berbeda terhadap penyakit tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan hubungan antara pola kebotakan AAG tipe verteks dan tipe frontal terhadap SM. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi potong lintang yang dilakukan terhadap 24 laki-laki dengan AAG tipe verteks dan 24 laki-laki dengan AAG tipe frontal. Dilakukan anamnesis dan pemeriksaan fisik untuk menegakkan diagnosis AAG berdasarkan skala Norwood-Hamilton, serta dilakukan pengambilan foto, pemeriksaan trikoskopi, TrichoScan® pada masing-masing subjek penelitian. Sindrom metabolik ditegakkan berdasarkan kriteria National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III melalui pemeriksaan fisik dan laboratorium darah vena. Hasil: Prevalensi SM pada kelompok AAG tipe verteks adalah sebesar 37,5%, sedangkan pada tipe frontal sebesar 20,8%. Tidak didapatkan hubungan antara SM dengan AAG tipe verteks ataupun tipe frontal (p = 0,341). Pada kelompok AAG tipe verteks didapatkan prevalensi hipertensi yang lebih tinggi secara bermakna dibandingkan kelompok AAG tipe frontal (p = 0,043). Tidak ada perbedaan bermakna gambaran trikoskopi ataupun TrichoScan® antara AAG tipe verteks dan tipe frontal. Kesimpulan: Prevalensi SM pada kelompok AAG tipe verteks lebih besar dibandingkan pada kelompok AAG tipe frontal. Tidak ada hubungan bermakna antara pola kebotakan AAG dengan SM. Tidak ada hubungan bermakna gambaran trikoskopi dan TrichoScan® antara kelompok AAG tipe verteks dengan tipe frontal.

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AAG) is the most common cause of hair loss, impacting quality of life. Although AAG is not life-threatening, various studies indicate that it is not merely a cosmetic skin condition but is associated with specific systemic conditions, including metabolic syndrome (MS). Some studies also suggest that the pattern of baldness in AAG poses varying risks for specific diseases. This research aims to explore the relationship between AAG vertex and frontal patterns of baldness and metabolic syndrome.

Methods: This study adopts a cross-sectional design involving 24 males with vertex AAG and 24 males with frontal AAG. Anamnesis and physical examinations were conducted to diagnose AAG using the Norwood-Hamilton scale. Each subject underwent photography, trichoscopy, and TrichoScan®, examination. Metabolic syndrome diagnosis followed the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria through physical examination and venous blood laboratory tests.

Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the AAG vertex group is 37.5%, whereas in the frontal group, it is 20.8%. No significant relationship was found between metabolic syndrome and AAG vertex or frontal types (p = 0.341). The AAG vertex group showed a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension than the frontal group (p = 0.043). There were no significant differences in trichoscopy or TrichoScan®¸ findings between AAG vertex and frontal types.

Conclusion: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is higher in the AAG vertex group compared to the AAG frontal group. There is no significant association between metabolic syndrome and the pattern of AAG baldness. Additionally, there is no significant difference in trichoscopy and TrichoScan®¸ findings between AAG vertex and frontal groups."

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by polymorphic lesions in the predilection area. Management of AV consists of standard therapy and adjunctive therapy. One of the adjunctive therapies that must be given to AV patients is the frequency of face washing. Recently, the recommendation of face washing frequency for AV patients in tropical countries is based on the general recommendation and expert opinion. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of face washing frequency as an adjuvant therapy on mild and moderate AV. Methods: A single blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on AV students at UI Makara Clinic from May to June 2018. Students who met the criteria of acceptance and did not meet the criteria of rejection and were willing to join the study were treated 2 and 3 times per day according to randomization. All participants were given standard therapy and same cleanser. AV lesions counts, sebum level, TEWL scores, and side effects on participant face would be assessed within six weeks by evaluating at week-3 and week-6. The analysis of study result was done by intention-to-treat method. Result: The total of 36 participants was recruited. In this study, there was 1 participant dropped out from the twice-per-day face washing group. There was no significant difference from the thrice-per-day and twice-per-day groups in terms of decreasing of total AV lesions with median 23 (0-62) versus 20 (0-37), p = 0,341. In addition, there was no significant difference in terms of decreasing sebum level, increasing of TEWL score, and adverse events. Conclusion: There was no difference in effectiveness of face washing frequency 3 times per day compared to 2 times per day with regard to decrease AV lesions in the face of mild and moderate AV students receiving standard therapy.

"Servisitis klamidia masih menjadi masalah kesehatan yang cukup signifikan di Indonesia karena sulitnya diagnosis pasti klamidia. Pemeriksaan penunjang yang mudah dan murah dilakukan yaitu pewarnaan Gram namun memiliki sensitivitas dan spesifisitas yang rendah. Pemeriksaan baku emas adalah polymerase chain reaction (PCR) namun membutuhkan biaya mahal dan membutuhkan fasilitas laboratorium lengkap. Dibutuhkan sebuah tes cepat untuk mendiagnosis klamidiosis dengan sensitivitas dan spesifisitas yang lebih baik dari pewarnaan Gram. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan nilai diagnostik dari QuickStripe™ Chlamydia rapid test (CRT) dalam mendiagnosis servisitis klamidia pada perempuan risiko tinggi di Jakarta. Studi potong lintang ini melibatkan perempuan risiko tinggi, baik simtomatik maupun asimtomatik, yang berada di Balai Rehabilitasi Sosial Eks Watunas Mulya Jaya selama bulan Juni hingga Juli 2020. Apusan endoserviks diambil dari tiap subjek dengan urutan acak untuk pemeriksaan QuickStripe™ CRT, pewarnaan Gram, dan real time PCR. Sebanyak 41 subjek berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Sensitivitas dan spesifisitas QuickStripe™ CRT pada penelitian ini adalah 73,6% (IK 95%: 48,80% sampai 90,85%) dan 81,82% (IK 95%: 59,72% sampai 94,81%), dengan nilai duga positif dan negatif sebesar 77,78% (IK 95%: 58,09% sampai 89,84%) dan 78,05% (IK 95%: 62,39% sampai 89,44%). Proporsi servisitis klamidia berdasarkan real-time PCR pada penelitian ini adalah 46,3%. Sebuah studi menyatakan bahwa penggunaan rapid test dengan sensitivitas suboptimal pada populasi risiko tinggi dapat meningkatkan angka pengobatan dibandingkan penggunaan baku emas yang membutuhkan kunjungan ulang agar pasien mendapatkan pengobatan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa QuickStripe™ CRT dapat menjadi alternatif dalam mendiagnosis servisitis klamidia pada perempuan risiko tinggi di Jakarta......Chlamydial cervicitis is one of health problems in Indonesia due to difficulty of definitive diagnosis for Chlamydia trachomatis. Gram staining is quick and affordable and usually done to make presumptive diagnosis despite its low sensitivity and specificity. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is considered gold standard but costly, technically demanding and difficult to be performed in low-resource settings. Thus, a rapid test with higher sensitivity and specificity is needed to aid chlamydial cervicitis. This study aims to determine the diagnostic value of QuickStripe™ Chlamydia rapid tests (CRT) in diagnosing chlamydial cervicitis among high-risk women in Jakarta. This cross-sectional study included symptomatic and asymptomatic high risk women in Balai Rehabilitasi Sosial Eks Watunas Mulya Jaya during June to July 2020. Endocervical swabs from each participant were taken for QuickStripe™ CRT, Gram staining, and real time PCR. A total of 41 participants were enrolled. The sensitivity and specificity for QuickStripe™ CRT were 73.6% (95% CI: 48,80% to 90.85%) and 81.82% (95% CI: 59.72% to 94.81%). Positive and negative predictive value were 77.78% (95% CI: 58.09% to 89.84%) and 78.05% (95% CI: 62.39% to 89.44%). Chlamydial cervicitis proportion based on real-time PCR was 46.3% in this study. A modelling study stated that a rapid test with suboptimal sensitivity in a high risk setting can improve rates of treatment compared to a gold standard test that requires return visits for patients to receive results and treatment. We concluded that QuickStripe™ CRT may become alternative diagnostic test among high-risk women in Jakarta."

Beberapapenelitian telah mengaitkan defisiensi kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum dengankerontokan rambut, tetapi tidak pernah dilakukan pada kelompok perempuan berhijab.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum dengan kerontokanrambut pada perempuan dewasa usia subur berhijab (H) dan tidak berhijab (TH).Metode: Penelitian potong lintang ini dilakukan sepanjang bulan November 2019hingga Maret 2020. Data terkait pemakaian hijab, kerontokan rambut, skor pajanansinar matahari, jumlah rambut rontok harian, hair pull test, dan kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum dievaluasi pada masing-masing 30 subjek berhijab dan tidakberhijab yang tidak menderita penyakit sistemik maupun kejiwaan.Hasil: Median kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum pada kelompok H adalah 8,70 (6,13-34,10) ng/mL dan mean kadarnya pada kelompok TH adalah 16,70 6,30 ng/mL.Median jumlah rambut rontok harian pada kelompok H adalah 28,62 (3,00-118,50) helaidan pada kelompok TH adalah 18,25 (3,50-134,50) helai. Berdasarkan uji korelasiSpearman, didapatkan koefisien korelasi r = -0,190 pada kelompok H (p = 0,315), dan r= 0,193 pada kelompok TH (p = 0,308).Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum dengankerontokan rambut baik pada perempuan dewasa usia subur berhijab maupun tidakberhijab.

Background: Indonesia has a large muslim population. As hijab is considered

compulsory for most, wearing it may potentially reduce skin absorption of sunlight

which plays important role in vitamin D synthesis. Several studies had described

significant correlation between serum 25-hyroxyvitamin D level and hair loss, but never

specifically conducted in hijab wearing women.

Objective: To assess the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and

hair loss in adult childbearing-age women who wear (H) and do not wear hijab (NH).

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2019 to March

2020. Data concerning hijab use, hair loss, sun exposure score, daily hair loss, hair pull

test, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level were evaluated in 30 subjects of each group.

Results: The median level of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the H group was 8,70

(6,13-34,10) ng/mL while the mean serum level in the NH group was 16,70 6,30

ng/mL. The median number of daily hair loss in the wearing hijab group was 28,62

(3,00-118,50) and in the not-wearing hijab group was 18,25 (3,50-134,50). Based on

Spearman’s correlation test, r = -0,190 in the H group (p = 0,315) and r = 0,193 in the

NH group (p = 0,308).

Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D

level and hair loss in both groups."
