One of the main complications that cause maternal death is preeclampsia/eclampsia. Activation of the systemic inflammatory response is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Urinary tract infections (UTI) can cause activation of the systemic inflammatory response, so that it is considered capable of causing preeclampsia. Procalcitonin is known as a marker of infection and very stable in serum, so it is a promising biomarker in detecting UTI. The investigators intend to investigate the association between UTI and preeclampsia through exploration of procalcitonin levels in preeclampsia and non-preeclampsia mothers. This study was a cross-sectional method, accident sampling technique. Respondents in this study amounted to 65, preeclampsia criteria were 40, and not preeclampsia were 25. The results showed no relationship between urinary tract infections during pregnancy and preeclampsia P = 0.074. Even so, procalcitonin levels in preeclampsia mothers were found to be higher than mothers without preeclampsia, with a value of P = 0.005. Which means that the inflammation that occurs in preeclampsia mothers is not caused by urinary tract infections. It is hoped that further research can be carried out on the relationship of urinary tract infections and preeclampsia by using a larger sample.

Ectopic ureters are a found in one of every 2000–4000 people. This abnormality can present with urinary tract infections, haematuria, and occasionally incontinence. Ectopic ureters traditionally follow the Weigert-Meyer Law, which describes the relationship of the lower and upper renal moieties. It states that the lower renal pole drains into a laterocranial ureteral orifice (and may reflux), while the upper renal pole drains into a mediocaudal ureteral orifice (and may be obstructed). If a duplicated ureter does not insert into the bladder, it by rule, originates from the upper pole. We present a case of a 42-year-old male who was incidentally found to have what appears to be an ectopic ureter draining from the lower renal pole into a structure contained in the scrotum, hence violating the Weigert-Meyer law.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a result of the development of microorganisms in the urinary tract, which in normal conditions do not contain bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. Urinary tract infections are also infections that occupy the second position that most often attacks the body after respiratory infections. The objective of the study was to identify the relationship between catheter placement and the incidence of urinary tract infections at Royal Prima hospital Medan. This is a correlation study (correlation study) on the patients suffering from urinary tract infections. The sampling technique used was a saturated sampling technique. Analysis research data using the Spearmen test. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the majority of catheter installation was in the category of good were 78%, and in the category of not good 22%, and 78% suffered from do not experience urinary tract infections, and 22% infection urinary tract. The results of the study of the Spearmen test showed that p-value = 0.00. It was found that there was a relationship between catheter insertion and the incidence of urinary tract infections in the inpatient room. The local nurses are suggested to improve the aseptic technique of care performed when catheterization is performed so that the incidence of urinary tract infections due to catheter installation can be avoided.

This study aims to the incidence of preeclampsia and determine differences in heparin-binding protein levels in preeclamptic and non-preeclamptic mothers and determine the relationship between urinary tract infections in pregnancy. The research design was cross-sectional on 65 respondents with an accidental sampling technique. The research data were obtained from a questionnaire containing a list of questions given to respondents, measurement of middle urine samples to measure nitrite, leukocytes urine using dipstick method, and to determine heparin binding protein (HBP) levels using the ELISA method in the Hasanuddin University RSP Research Laboratory. The results of the study found there was a difference in the levels of heparin-binding protein in pregnant women without preeclampsia, namely 1.90±0.22 Ng/ml and HBP levels in pregnant women preeclampsia ie 2.39±0.3 Ng/ml. That there was no significant relationship between urinary tract infections (UTI) and the incidence of preeclampsia with p= 0.074. The conclusion in this study is that the levels of heparin-binding protein differ in preeclamptic and non-preeclamptic mothers, the increase in HBP levels in preeclampsia is due to inflammation, the cause is not through UTI. There is no association between urinary tract infections in pregnant women and the incidence of preeclampsia.


Phimosis is the inability of the penis to potrude from the prepuce either partially or completely and the preputial retractability increases with age. Circumcision is believed by various parties as a form of defense against pathogens that may cause various abnormalities. Smegma is whitish lump that formed from desquamation of preputial epithelial cells. Smegma and bacteria in the prepuce may cause abnormalities such as genital infections, urinary tract infections, and even malignancy. This study aims to determine the presence between phimosis, smegma, and preputial bacteria, and its relationship with inflammatory status of circumcised patient. A cross sectional analytical study for boys who underwent circumcision at Saiful Anwar General Hospital Malang. The data will be analyzed using chi-square and will be calculated for the relative risk. There were 76 patients who underwent circumcision from March 2018 until August 2018. The result was found that the presence of phimosis was significantly associated with the presence of smegma and preputial bacteria (p <0.01) with a risk of 30x and 8x respectively. However, the presence of smegma and preputial bacteria in the prepuce was not significantly associated with the inflammatory status in the prepuce (p = 0.541 & p = 0.084). In conclusion, the presence of phimosis has a significant risk in the formation of smegma and the growth of preputial bacteria.
