Latar Belakang: Karsinoma nasofaring (KNF) merupakan keganasan yang tersering ditemukan, dan berdampak pada penurunan kualitas hidup serta memiliki mortalitas tinggi. Penanganan KNF selama ini terkendala oleh waktu tunggu yang cukup lama dalam menentukan staging KNF terutama untuk antrian pemeriksaan computed tomography scan (CT scan) dan Ultrasonography (USG). Pemeriksaan kadar DNA EBV (Deoxyribonucleic acid Epstein-Barr Virus) pada pasien yang relatif lebih mudah dan terjangkau dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi stadium dan prognosis KNF. Dengan mengetahui prognosis KNF lebih dini, maka diharapkan penanganan terhadap KNF dapat segera dilakukan. Tujuan: Mengetahui apakah kadar DNA EBV dapat dipakai untuk memprediksi stadium dan prognosis KNF dengan cara mencari hubungan antara kadar DNA EBV dengan stadium KNF. Metode: Penelitian cross sectional melibatkan 15 subjek penelitian yang terdiagnosis KNF WHO tipe 3 kemudian dilakukan staging dengan CT scan, USG abdomen, dan foto toraks, serta diambil sampel darah untuk diukur kadar DNA EBV. Hasil: Seluruh subjek penelitian mengalami peningkatan kadar DNA EBV sesuai dengan peningkatan stadium KNF. Peningkatan stadium KNF berhubungan signifikan dengan peningkatan kadar DNA EBV (p=0,001). Ukuran tumor (T) berhubungan signifikan dengan kadar DNA EBV (p=0,023), ukuran nodul (N) berhubungan signifikan dengan kadar DNA EBV (p=0,005), ada tidaknya metastasis tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan kadar DNA EBV (p=0,398). Nilai cut off kadar DNA EBV sebesar 952 kopi/ml. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar DNA EBV dengan stadium klinis, dengan demikian kadar DNA EBV dapat dipertimbangkan untuk digunakan sebagai prediktor stadium dan prognosis KNF. Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the predominant tumor type arising in the nasopharynx,  with a high mortality and affecting quality of life.  NPC treatment  management is hindered by long queues of Computed Tomography Scan (CT scan) and Ultrasonography (USG) examinations to ascertain the NPC staging. The examination of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA level is relatively simpler and inexpensive  to predict the NPC staging and prognosis, thus, it can speed up NPC treatment. Objective: To determine whether EBV DNA level can be used to predict the NPC  stage and prognosis by finding a correlation between EBV DNA level and NPC stage. Method: This was  a cross-sectional study involving 15 respondents who were diagnosed as WHO type 3 NPC, and examined by CT scan, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray,  and blood  test for measuring the levels of EBV DNA to determine the stage. Results: All respondents had elevated levels of EBV DNA in accordance with NPC stage elevation. Increased NPC stages were significantly correlated with elevated levels of EBV DNA (p=0.001). The size of tumor (T) was significantly correlated with EBV DNA (p=0.023), the size of nodule (N) was significantly correlated with EBV DNA (p=0.005).  The presence or absence of metastasis did not significantly correlate with EBV DNA (p=0.398). The EBV DNA cut off value was 952 copies/ml. Conclusions: There  was a significant correlation between EBV DNA levels and clinical stages, hence EBV DNA can be considered to be used as NPC staging and prognosis predictor.

Latar Belakang. Insidensi apendisitis perforasi di dunia mencapai 2 per 10.000 kelahiran hidup, untuk proporsi apendisitis perforasi sekitar 25%. Kasus apendisitis di Indonesia berdasarkan data Kementerian Kesehatan RI pada tahun 2009 sebesar 596.132 kasus dengan persentase 3.36% dan meningkat pada tahun 2010 menjadi 621.435 kasus dengan persentase 3.53%. Sedangkan insidensi  di RS Hasan Sadikin  pada tahun 2017 mencapai 83% pasien yang datang dengan keluhan apendisitis telah mengalami perforasi. Pemeriksaan radiologik seperti computed tomography scan (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ataupun ultrasonography (USG) memiliki sensitifitas dan spesifitas yang tinggi untuk mendiagnosis perforasi apendisitis, tetapi alat–alat ini tidak selalu tersedia di institusi–institusi kesehatan negara berkembang. Fibrinogen sebagai  faktor koagulasi yang pertama kali ditemukan dalam beberapa penelitian berpotensi digunakan sebagai prediktor perforasi pada pasien apendisitis, pemeriksaan fibrinogen dapat dilakukan sewaktu-waktu, memberikan hasil yang lebih cepat dengan harga yang lebih murah dibandingkan dengan pemeriksaan penunjang lain. Metode. Penelitian observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Subjek pasien apendisitis periode 1 April 2018 – 31 Desember 2018 yang datang ke Installasi Gawat Darurat RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung dan bersedia mengikuti penelitian. Pasien yang didiagnosis kerja awal sebagai apendisitis akut atau pasien dengan appendisits perforasi dengan gejala peritonitis lokal atau peritonitis difus setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan klinis dan laboratorium. Pasien dilakukan  pemeriksaan fibrinogen serum preoperatif, lalu dilakukan operasi dan dicatat hasil temuan operasi yaitu yang mengalami perforasi dan yang tidak mengalami perforasi. Dilakukan pengelompokkan data setelah jumlah subyek penelitian terpenuhi. Hasil. Sebanyak 40 pasien (25 laki-laki, 15 perempuan) terdiagnosis apendisitis berdasarkan Alvarado Score, yang terdiri dari 20 pasien apendisitis akut dan 20 pasien apendisitis perforasi. Akurasi kadar fibrinogen serum dalam memprediksi terjadinya perforasi sebesar 85%. Nilai sensitivitas 90%, nilai spesifisitas 80%. Berdasarkan analisis kurva ROC diperoleh nilai Area Under Curve (AUC) sebesar 0,865 (p = 0,001). Menunjukkan bahwa kadar fibrinogen serum memiliki kemampuan diskriminasi yang tinggi dalam memprediksi terjadinya perforasi pada pasien apendisitis. Kesimpulan. Kadar fibrinogen serum yang meningkat dapat digunakan sebagai prediktor terjadinya perforasi pada pasien apendisitis. Kata kunci.

Background. Cerebral palsy is one of the common childhood neurological problem which occurs due to defect or lesion in immature brain. The worldwide incidence of cerebral palsy is approximately 2-2.5 per 1000 live births. There have been many works on the role of computed tomography scan in the diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Objective: The objective information available from careful review of imaging information such as CT brain scans, is an important adjunct to clinical data. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Radiology and Imaging, BSMMU and department of Paediatric Neurology unit over a period of 12 months from January 2019 to December 2019. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of CT scan in diagnosis of CP in children. Results: This cross sectional study was carried out on consecutively selected 94 children below 15 years having clinical evidence of cerebral palsy. Among the study subjects 86.2% were diagnosed as cerebral palsy through CT scan. Conclusion: The sensitivity and specificity of CT scan of present study was found to be quite high in children which suggests a CT scan as an effective investigation for the diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
