Many elderly patients have oral dryness; thus, it is necessary to evaluate the oral moisture in a clinical setting. The aim of this study was to clarify the importance of controlling the measuring pressure of the oral moisture-checking device. The influence of the measuring pressure of the oral moisture-checking device was examined using agar under 10 measuring pressure conditions (Kruskal–Wallis test). Fifty-five oral dryness patients were examined the lingual moisture using the device with and without a tongue depressor. The tongue depressor was placed underneath the tongue to support it during the measurement. The mean value and the coefficient of variation of five measurements was evaluated (paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-ranks test). The agar moisture values changed according to the measuring pressure (p < 0.05). The lingual moisture value with the tongue depressor was higher than that without the tongue depressor (p < 0.05). The coefficient of variation with the tongue depressor was smaller than that without the tongue depressor (p < 0.01). The results of this study indicated that the measuring pressure of oral moisture-checking device influenced the measurement value, and it is necessary to support the tongue for the measurement of lingual mucosal moisture in a uniform manner.

Volumetric Measurements

BACKGROUND Exact quantification of volumetric changes of the extremities is difficult. There are several direct and indirect methods to assess extremity volume. As water displacement volumetry is rarely viable in a clinical setting and circumference measurements are prone to errors due to poor reproducibility and high inter- and intra-observer variability, an objective and easily reproducible method is indispensable. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish a standardized method based on 3D scans with defined caudal and cranial landmarks of the lower leg which allows for measurements of exactly the same body area. Furthermore, this study tests the method in terms of reproducibility and evaluates volume changes after surgical therapy in patients suffering from lymphedema. METHODS 3D-scans of the lower limb were performed with a mobile 3D-scanner. Volumetric calculation was done digitally. “Repeatability“ and “Inter-observer reliability” of digital volumetry were tested. Furthermore, the method was applied on 31 patients suffering from chronic lymphedema. ANOVA (analyses of variance) was conducted to compare the digital volumetric measurements. To assess the sensitivity to changes in digital volumetry, the mean volume of 31 patients before and 3 months after therapy were compared by a paired t-Test. RESULTS Calculations of repeatability of the volume based on 20 3D-scans of the same lower leg showed a mean volume of 2,488 ± 0,011 liters (range: 2,470 – 2,510). The mean volume of the 7 measurements of the 3 examiners did not differ significantly (F(2,18) = 1,579, p = .233). The paired t-Test showed a significant mean volume decrease of 375ml (95% CI = 245/505ml) between pre and post treatment (t (30) =5,892, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS 3D-Volumetry is a noninvasive, easy and quick method to assess volume changes of the lower leg. Other than the costs, it is reproducible and precise and therefore ideal for evolution of therapy in lymphedema.

Abstract: Available laboratory markers in the early stage of injury are very helpful for the clinicians to predict the diturbances in cellular level concerning prevention of early decompensation, therefore, vital condition of the patient can improve faster. Lactate and leucocyte levels are assumed as sensitive markers of metabolic changes that occur at the time of injury. This study aimed to obtain the changes of lactate and leukocyte levels in multitraumatic patients after resusitation at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from August to September 2015. This was an observational analytical study. The results showed that there were 36 multitraumatic patients in this study, consisted of 27 males and 9 females. One patient died during this study. The mean decrease of blood lactate was 1.4611 mmol/L, meanwhile, of leukocytes was 5582.2000/mm3. The paired T test showed very significant changes of blood lactate and leukocyte levels (P < 0.001) after resusitation. Conclusion: Achievement of resusitation and improvement in cellular level could be monitored by using lactate and leukocyte levels after resusitation of multitraumatic patients although the definitive aim of the trauma was not final yet.Kata kunci: lactate, leukocyte, multitraumatic patientsAbstrak: Tersedianya penanda laboratorik pada fase awal cedera dapat memudahkan klinisi memrediksi kelainan yang terjadi di tingkat sel untuk mencegah terjadinya fase dekompensasi secara dini sehingga dapat memperbaiki kondisi vital pasien dengan segera. Kadar laktat dan jumlah leukosit telah lama dianggap sebagai salah satu penanda yang sensitif terhadap perubahan metabolisme yang terjadi saat cedera. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan nilai serum laktat dan leukosit darah yang terjadi pada pasien multitrauma setelah penanganan di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado sejak bulan Agustus sampai dengan September 2015. Jenis penelitian ini observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan terdapat 36 pasien multitrauma, terdiri dari 27 laki-laki dan 9 perempuan. Selama penelitian didapatkan 1 pasien meninggal saat penanganan. Pada pasca penanganan, rerata penurunan nilai asam laktat darah sebesar 1,4611 mmol/L dan nilai leukosit sebesar 5582,2000/mm3. Hasil uji T berpasangan memperlihatkan perubahan nilai laktat darah dan leukosit pasca penanganan yang sangat bermakna (P < 0,001). Simpulan: Tercapainya resusitasi dan perbaikan di tingkat sel dapat dimonitor dari nilai laktat dan leukosit darah pasca penanganan pasien multitrauma walaupun penanganan belum sampai pada tujuan definitif trauma.Kata kunci: asam laktat, leukosit, multitrauma
