Endoscopic Findings

Abstract Background Upper endoscopy is an essential tool for diagnosing pediatric gastrointestinal issues. This study aimed to assess the indications, diagnostic yields, concordance between histopathological and endoscopic findings and suitability of upper endoscopies performed at a tertiary university hospital in Jordan. Methods Hospital records of children who underwent upper endoscopy were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, endoscopic details (e.g., indications, findings and any complications), and histopathological findings were collected. The relationship between endoscopic findings and histopathological abnormalities was reported. Results The study included 778 patients (age, 92.5 ± 54.5 months; 380 girls, 48.8%). The most common age group was children younger than 60 months (273 patients, 34.3%). The most common indication for endoscopy was abdominal pain, followed by vomiting and failure to thrive or weight loss. Normal upper endoscopy was reported in 411 patients (52.8%). Age below 60 months, abdominal pain, dysphagia/odynophagia, and heartburn were predictive of abnormal endoscopy in multivariate analysis with p-value 0.000, 0.048, 0.001 and 0.01 respectively. Abnormal endoscopy showed 67.3% sensitivity and 69.9% specificity to predict histopathological abnormalities. Of those performed, 13.6% endoscopies were described as inappropriate indication. The suitability of the procedure was a sensitive predictor for abnormal endoscopic and histopathological findings. Conclusions Abdominal pain is the most common indication for upper endoscopy in our population. It is associated with a higher chance of abnormal endoscopy. Concordance between endoscopic and histopathological findings is not high. Normal endoscopic findings shouldn`t discourage the endoscopist from obtaining tissue biopsies. Considering more biopsies may improve pathological detection rates. Compliance with established endoscopy guidelines may reduce unnecessary procedures.

Berdasarkan data yang diperoleh dari Rekam Medik RSUD Syekh Yusuf Gowa, pada tahun 2016 terdapat 356 ibu hamil, pada tahun 2017 terdapat 413 ibu hamil dan pada tahun 2018 periode Januari-April terdapat 204 ibu hamil.          Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan paritas dan umur ibu terhadap kejadian Kehamilan Ektopik Terganggu (KET) di RSUD Syekh Yusuf Gowa 2018.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian analitik dengan menggunakan pendekatan Cross Section Study untuk mengetahui hubungan paritas dan umur terhadap kejadian Kehamilan Ektopik Terganggu di RSUD Syekh Yusuf Gowa dengan jumlah populasi 204 orang dan jumlah sampel 135 orang dengan menggunakan teknik Random Sampling. Responden yang memiliki paritas tinggi terhadap kejadian Kehamilan Ektopik Terganggu (KET) terdiagnosa sebanyak 87 orang (64,4%) dan yang memiliki paritas rendah terhadap kejadian Kehamilan Ektopik Terganggu (KET) sebanyak 48 orang (35,6%). Dari hasil uji statistik dengan menggunakan uji Chi-Square diperoleh  nilai P (0,020) ≤ α (0,05), maka Ho diolak Ha diterima.Responden yang memiliki umur risiko tinggi terhadap kejadian kehamilan ektopik terganggu terdiagnosis sebanyak 76 orang (56,3%) dan responden yang memiliki umur risiko rendah terhadap kejadian kehamilan ektopik terganggu terdiagnosis sebanyak 59 orang (43,7%). Dari hasil uji statistik dengan menggunakan uji Chi-Square diperoleh  nilai P (0,038) ≤  α (0,05), maka Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Kesimpulan dari kedua variabel yaitu paritas dan umur, kedua variabel berhubungan terhadap kejadian Kehamilan Ektopik Terganggu (KET) di RSUD Syekh Yusuf Gowa 2018

The Relationship

Abstract Background In recent years, spiritual well-being has gradually gained the attention of health care providers in China, especially those in oncology departments, who have recognized the importance of improving spiritual well-being in cancer patients. Since most of the current research on spiritual well-being has been carried out in areas with religious beliefs, this study was conducted in the context of no development of formal religion. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between death anxiety and spiritual well-being and the related factors of spiritual well-being among gynecological cancer patients. Methods This cross-section study was conducted among 586 gynecological cancer patients. The European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-spiritual well-being32 (EORTC QLQ-SWB32) and Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (T-DAS) were used to measure spiritual well-being and death anxiety. The Multiple Linear Regression Model was used to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being and death anxiety. Results For all participants, the highest QLQ-SWB32 centesimal score was 75.13 on the Relationship with Other scale, and the lowest was 60.33 on the Relationship with Someone or Something Greater Scale. The mean Death Anxiety score was 5.31 (SD 3.18). We found that Relationship with Someone or Something Greater was the only scale not associated with death anxiety. Overall, patients with lower death anxiety have a higher level of spiritual well-being. Besides, a high Relationship with Other score was associated with living with a partner (B = 2.471, P < 0.001) and married (B = -6.475, P = 0.001). Patients with higher Global-SWB were retired (B = 0.387, P = 0.019). Conclusions Our study found that the spiritual well-being of patients with gynecological cancer in China was no worse than in other countries with religious beliefs and patients with lower death anxiety have a higher level of spiritual well-being. Clinical staff should pay attention to the spiritual health of cancer patients, and spiritual care should be regarded as an essential element in cancer care.
