Objective: Studies regarding omentectomy on epithelialovarian cancer are scarce with conflicting results; this study isaimed to investigate the prevalence of occult metastases inpatients with epithelial ovarian cancer of the omentum.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used by evaluating themedical records of surgically staged ovarian cancer patients in Dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia during the periodof January 2009 to December 2015.Results: A total of 51 subjects were involved in this study. One(2%) of 51 subjects was found to have occult metastases in theomentum. The prevalence of metastases of early stage epithelialovarian cancer in 2009-2015 is 33.3% (17 out of 51 subjects),whereas the omental involvement is found only in 2% subjects(1 out of 51).Conclusion: The prevalence of occult metastases of early stageepithelial ovarian cancer in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital,Jakarta, Indonesia, from 2009-2015 in 2% (1/51 subjects).[Indones J Obstet Gynecol 2018; 6-2: 119-122]Keywords: cancer, epithelial, metastases, omentum, ovarian cancer,ovary, prevalence

Objective: To determine the expression of Phosphatase Regenerating Liver-3 (PRL-3) and E-Cadherin in the epithelial ovarian cancer on various stages and differentiation grades. Method: This was a cross-sectional study design conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of several teaching hospitals, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Hasanuddin from January to June 2015. The expression of PRL-3 and E-cadherin was assessed immunohistochemically in 40 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer including 15 patients in early stage and 25 patients in advanced stage. We used the Fisher’s exact test with the significance of p0.05). The significant difference was found in the expression of E-cadherin whereas the high expression was shown at early stage than advanced stage (p0.05). This study also pointed out no correlation between the expression of PRL-3 and E-cadherin in epithelial ovarian cancer (p>0.05). Conclusion: PRL-3 overexpression does not decrease E-cadherin expression in epithelial ovarian cancer. Keywords: E-cadherin, epithelial ovarian cancer, PRL-3

Introduction: Involving approximately 4% of malignancies in women, ovarian cancer remains one of the most fatal cancers. However, it is important to consider conditions which are not primary ovarian diseases, but mimic their behaviors. In the present study, the epidemiological characteristics of extra-ovarian conditions mimicking ovarian masses are evaluated. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with a primary diagnosis of ovarian mass who underwent surgery by gynecologists between January 2012 and March 2016. The surgeon’s primary diagnosis and the final histopathology assessment report were evaluated for each patient. In cases where the final histopathology report was not in the spectrum of gynecologic pathology, possible reasons for incompatibility were investigated. Results: Ultimately, 1876 patients with a mean age of 48.26±15.4 years underwent analysis. Among these patients, 27 (1.4%) had masses of a non-gynecologic origin. The final diagnoses were divided into four main categories: masses with a gastrointestinal origin (55.5%), infectious (18.5%), those with a retroperitoneal origin (18.5%), and embryologic-origin masses (7.4%). Conclusion: The results suggest that extra-ovarian diseases should be considered in differential diagnoses of patients with a primary diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, it was found that metastases from gastrointestinal tract tumors and infectious diseases are the most common pathologies among extra-ovarian conditions.

Background: Our aim in this study is to determine the level of internet addiction in medical school students and primary care physicians and the factors affecting them.Methods: A 68 physicians and 167 students participated in this descriptive study. The participants were administered the young ınternet addiction test, UCLA loneliness scale and asked to respond to survey questions about their ssociodemographic characteristics, and the relations were evaluated with appropriate statistical methods.Results: It has been identified that playing games online, surfing the internet aimlessly and loneliness score affected internet addiction regardless of other variables (p<0.05). A statistically significant correlation between addiction level and age (r= (-0.341), p<0,001), loneliness score (r=0,284, p<0,001) and online time (r=0,387, p<0,001) has been discovered.Conclusions: In this study, it was found statistically significant that students with internet addiction stayed online for long periods of time and it seemed in line with the criteria observed in substance use disorders such as longer duration of use than intended and not being able to spare time for other activities.

Abstract: Cavity is a classic problem that has existed since long time ago which is one of the causes of tooth ache. Caries is a disease that involves enamel, dentin and cementum. Caries caused by microorganism action on fermented carbohydrate. The prevalence of active caries in Indonesia and in some countries is still high. Caries can occur among all ages, including children. Factors that cause caries regarding to the attitude and the nature of children who like to eat snacks and sweet foods that can cause dental caries. This study aimed to describe the consumption of snacks and status of caries in children aged 3-5 years in the Rinegetan village Tondano. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. There were 52 children aged 3-5 years obtained by using total sampling method. Data were obtained by using def-t index and questionnaire. The results showed that snacks consumed by the children were: candy (75%) and milk (73,07%). The average of dental caries amog the children aged 3-5 years in the Rinegetan village, Tondano, was 2.36 (low category).Keywords: caries, children, snacks, def–t indexAbstrak: Gigi berlubang merupakan masalah klasik yang sejak dahulu sudah ada yang menjadi salah satu penyebab seseorang merasakan rasa sakit gigi. Karies merupakan suatu penyakit yang menyerang jaringan keras gigi, yaitu email, dentin dan sementum, yang disebabkan oleh aktivitas suatu jasad renik dalam suatu karbohidrat yang dapat diragikan. Prevalensi terjadinya karies aktif pada penduduk Indonesia dan di bebera panegara di dunia adalah cukup tinggi. Karies dapat dialami oleh semua usia termasuk anak-anak. Faktor penyebab karies salah satunya yang dapat diteliti berkaitan dengan sikap maupun sifat dari anak-anak yang suka mengonsumsi jajanan makanan yang manis-manis dapat menyebabkan karies pada gigi.
