Skabies merupakan penyakit kulit oleh tungau Sarcoptes scabiei, penyakit ketiga paling sering di Indonesia. Pengobatan lini pertama yang direkomendasikan adalah krim permetrin 5% dan pengobatan lain menurut pusat pengendalian dan pencegahan penyakit, adalah ivermektin oral dengan dosis 200 mcg/kgBB, dua dosis 14 hari terpisah.Metode yang digunakan adalah systematc review dengan mengevaluasi artikel publikasi ilmiah dengan desain penelitian randomized control trial sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi, dengan intervensi pemberian permetrin dan pembanding ivermektin, dilakukan skrining menggunakan kriteria kelayakan. Hasil yang didapat, 3 jurnal mengenai efektivitas ivermektin dan permetrin yaitu, dosis tunggal ivermektin memberikan tingkat kesembuhan pada interval 2 minggu. Terapi dua aplikasi permetrin dengan interval satu minggu memiliki nilai yang efektif yang tinggi pada pasien. Empat jurnal menyatakan bahwa permetrin lebih unggul dalam penatalaksanaan skabies. Permetrin 5% topikal menunjukkan perbaikan lebih cepat pada minggu pertama follow up. Satu jurnal menyatakan bahwa aplikasi ivermektin sama efektifnya dengan dua aplikasi krim permetrin 2,5% follow-up 2 minggu. Setelah mengulangi pengobatan, ivermektin sama efektifnya dengan krim permetrin 2,5%. Simpulan pemberian keduanya dapat mengobati skabies. Aplikasi permetrin dua kali dengan interval satu minggu dinilai lebih efektif daripada ivermektin dosis tunggal dan pasien sembuh lebih awal. Dua dosis ivermektin sama efektifnya dengan aplikasi tunggal permetrin. Systematic Review: The Effectiveness of Therapy Comparison between Ivermectin with permetrin Therapy in Scabies TreatmentScabies, a skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is the third most common disease in Indonesia. The recommended first-line treatment is 5% permetrin cream and another treatment according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is oral ivermectin at a dose of 200 mcg/kg body weight, two doses 14 days apart. The method used is a systematic review with a randomized control trial research design in accordance with the inclusion criteria and screening using the eligibility criteria. The results obtained: 3 journals regarding the effectiveness of ivermectin and permetrin which stated that a single dose of ivermectin provided a cure rate at 2 week intervals, two applications of permetrin at one-week intervals have high effective values; 4 journals stated that topical 5% permetrin showed faster improvement in the first week of follow-up;  1 journal stated that ivermectin applications were as effective as two applications of 2.5% permetrin cream at 2 weeks follow-up. After repeating the treatment, ivermectin is as effective as 2.5% permetrin cream. The conclusion is that giving both can cure scabies. Twice application of permetrin at one-week intervals was considered more effective than single dose ivermectin and the patient recovered earlier. Two doses of ivermectin are as effective as a single application of permetrin.

Abstract Background: The current control efforts against soil transmitted helminthic infection focused on reducing morbidity and transmission potential through periodic anthelminthic chemotherapy of single dose of mebendazole and albendazole regimen. Single dose mebendazole is one of extensively applicable drug regimen as a preventive chemotherapy in hookworm endemic areas. However, nowadays, studies reveal single dose treatment regimen has poor and unsatisfactory efficacy status against hookworm infection. We evaluated the efficacy status of single dose (500mg) versus triple dose (100mg) of mebendazole against hookworm infection among school aged children.Methods: This randomized, single-blinded clinical trial took place in a primary school on Burie and Debre Elias towns, Northwest Ethiopia among school-aged children (6-14). Using simple randomization, eligible hookworm positive children were randomly allocated (1:1) to either a single dose or triple dose of mebendazole arm. Stool samples were collected at baseline and follow-up period (14-21 days after treatment) for McMaster analysis. The primary and secondary outcome measures in this study were cure rate (CR) and egg reduction rate (ERR), respectively. Results were displayed using tables and figure. Independent t test was used to compare group means, logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio (OR), and P-value < 0.05 at 95% CI was considered for statistical significance.Result: 109 children were allocated for each treatment arm and 103 children were completed the drug efficacy follow up study. Cure rate against hookworm was significantly higher in triple dose (96.1%) than in single dose (30.8%) with (OR=55.125; 95% CI: 11.92-254.9; P < 0.001). Egg reduction rate against hookworm infection in triple dose (99.5%) was also significantly higher than single dose (68.9%) with difference t (101) =5.38; 95% CI 230.95-505.36; P < 0.001.Conclusion: Single dose regimen of mebendazole for the treatment of hookworm infection showed poor efficacy, while triple dose revealed satisfactory efficacy. Therefore, we recommend for giving special emphasis on current deworming program which implemented through single dose mebendazole for hookworm endemic area.

Objective: The study aimed to determine the efficacy of single dose of glucocorticoid (125 mg of Solumedrol intravenous) in terms of seroma formation after mastectomy in patient with carcinoma of breast. Study Design: Randomized control trial. Place and Duration of Study: Study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Liaquat National Hospital Karachi, Pakistan from july 1 to dec 31, 2010. Patients and Methods: Patients were randomly divided in two groups (study and control) each group consisting of 30 patients. Randomization was done by opening of a sealed envelope which had a slip bearing the name of study medication (solumederol or saline as placebo) to be administered. The study group received a single dose of inj 125mg solumedrol IV half an hour prior to surgery by resident scrub in surgery. A similar procedure was applied to the control group and patients in controlled group were administered an equal volume of saline intravenously. After drain removal patients in both groups were observed for a duration of 2 weeks for sermoa formation. Detection of seroma formation was based on clinical grounds by absence of any fluid collection at mastectomy bed as detected by manual palpation. SPSS 10 was used for analysis. Results: Seroma formation was observed in 66.7% (40/60) women 2 weeks post drain removal. Rate of seroma formation was significantly low in study groups than control groups (33.3% vs. 100%; p=0.0001). Conclusion: Single dose of steroid is efficacious in reducing the post mastectomy seroma formation.

Urolithiasis is the third most common disease of the urinary tract. Among all urinary tract stones, majorities are ureteral stones located in the distal part of the ureters. At present, multimodalities of treatment are available to the urologists. The purpose of the present study was to observe the efficacy of Tamsulosin in conventional treatment of juxtavesical ureteric stone having size up to 8 mm. This was a single centered, parallel randomized control trial carried out in the outpatient department of Urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from July 2007 to June 2008. The patients with unilateral, juxtavesical ureteral stone with normal functioning kidney and absence of clinical and laboratory signs of urinary tract infection and stone size up to 8 mm were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the computer generated simple random sampling. Patients of Group-A  were given conventional hydrotherapy treatment and patients of Group-B were given Tamsulosin 0.4mg/day along with the conventional hydrotherapy. Each patient was followed-up weekly until stone expulsion for 4 weeks. In Group-A and Group-B, the mean age with SD was 38.55±10.05 and 37.7±9.33 years. Expulsion occurred in 32 (53.33%) of 60 patients in Group-A and 51 (85%) of 60 patients in Group-B (p <0.05). The number of pain episodes in this study was statistically significantly lower in Group-B patients compared to Group-A (p <0.05). Urinary tract infection was encountered in 12 (20%) patients of Group-A and 2 (3.33%) patients of Group-B (p <0.05) during four weeks therapy which was treated by appropriate antibiotics. No side effects of Tamsulosin were encountered in any patients of Group-B which could require the cessation of the medication or might need for dose titration. Findings of the study revealed that the Tamsulosin supplemented conventional therapy is more effective than conventional hydrotherapy alone in management of juxtavesical ureteral stones.

Background: Treatment of granular myringitis (GM) is diverse with no definitive management. Objective: The aim of the present study was to see the effectiveness of different interventions for treating granular myringitis. Methodology: This was a single centred, parallel, randomized control trial. This study was done at the Specialized ENT Hospital of SAHIC, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2012. Patients presenting with granular myringitis of 18 years of age or more with both sexes were included. All patients were divided into two groups by simple random sampling method of which patients of group A were treated by surgical treatment and that of group B were treated by medical treatment. Medical treatment was given in the form of topical ear drops and surgical treatment was performed by surgical debridement of granulation tissue followed by chemical cauterization. Repeated follow up was performed up to 6 months in both groups of treated patients. The primary outcome was the resolution of granulation tissue. During follow-up the secondary outcome variables were recurrence, perforation of the TM and any other complications or complain from the patients. Results: A total number of 60 patients were studied of which 30 patients were treated medically and 30 patients were treated surgically. The cure rate was higher in surgical treatment (80%) than conservative (16.7%) (p=0.011). The recurrence rate (17.24%) is also less in surgical group compared to medical treatment group (77.27%) (p=0.001). Conclusion: Surgical treatment is a more successful treatment modality for granular myringitis. Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2019;5(1): 64-68

BackgroundA systematic review was carried out on the effect of surgical maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) on pharyngeal airway (PA) dimensions and the apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), with the aim of determining whether increased PA in the context of MMA is the main factor conditioning the subsequent decrease in AHI.MethodsA search was made of the PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar and Cochrane databases. A total of 496 studies were identified. The inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of moderate to severe OSA, MMA success evaluated by polysomnography, reporting of the magnitude of MMA achieved, PA increase and a minimum follow-up of 6 months.ResultsFollowing application of the eligibility criteria, eight articles were included. Metaregression analysis showed MMA to significantly increase both pharyngeal airway volume (PAV) (mean 7.35 cm3 (range 5.35–9.34)) and pharyngeal airway space (mean 4.75 mm (range 3.15–6.35)) and ensure a final AHI score below the threshold of 20 (mean 12.9 events/hour).ConclusionsAlthough subgroup analysis showed MMA to be effective in treating OSA, more randomised trials are needed to individualise the required magnitude and direction of surgical movements in each patient, and to standardise the measurements of linear and nonlinear PAV parameters.

Abstract BACKGROUND Synovial sarcoma of the nerve is a rare entity with several cases and case series reported in the literature. Despite an improved understanding of the biology, the clinical course is difficult to predict. OBJECTIVE To compile a series of patients with synovial sarcoma of the peripheral nerve (SSPN) and assess clinical and pathological factors and their contribution to survival and recurrence. METHODS Cases from 2 institutions collected in patients undergoing surgical intervention for SSPN. Systematic review including PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for related articles published from 1970 to December 2018. Eligibility criteria: (1) case reports or case series reporting on SSPN, (2) clinical course and/or pathological features of the tumor reported, and (3) articles published in English. RESULTS From patients treated at our institutions (13) the average follow-up period was 3.2 yr. Tumor recurrence was seen in 4 cases and death in 3. Systematic review of the literature yielded 44 additional cases with an average follow-up period of 3.6 yr. From pooled data, there were 10 recurrences and 7 deaths (20% and 14%, respectively). Adjuvant treatment used in 62.5% of cases. Immunohistochemical markers used in diagnosis varied widely; the most common are the following: Epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin, vimentin, cluster of differentiation (CD34), and transducin-like enhancer of split 1 (TLE1). Statistical analysis illustrated tumor size and use of chemotherapy to be negative predictors of survival. No other factors, clinically or from pathologist review, were correlated with recurrence or survival. CONCLUSION By combining cases from our institution with historical data and performing statistical analysis we show correlation between tumor size and death.

Aim: systematic review of the literature on the cost-effectiveness of telemedicine in the follow-up of asthmatics. Method: Systematic review of the PUBMED / MEDLINE, LILACS and Cochrane Central databases. Articles published in English, Portuguese or Spanish were considered in the period from 2005 to 2018 according to the PRISMA guidelines. Results: A total of 1363 articles were identified, of which 59 were read in their entirety. Only five met the eligibility criteria, and all were made in European countries and totaled 2,497 participants. The interventions were performed by nurses (4 of 5 studies), remaining from 16 weeks to 12 months. Telemedicine costs were similar or slightly lower compared to usual treatments. Telemedicine had a beneficial effect on asthma control (1 of 5 studies), quality of life (3 out of 5 studies) and hospitalizations (1 of 5 studies). Conclusion: Telemedicine slightly reduces costs with asthma management and may have an impact on morbidity indicators
