Background : Pain is an unpleasant emotional experience that illustrates ongoing tissue damage. Excessive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause peptic ulcer to gastric mucosal damage and perforation. Indonesia contains the largest area of mangrove forest in the world. There are 45 species of mangrove found and one of them is Asiatic Mangrove (Rhizophora mucronata). This type is easy to find and rich of alkaloids and flavonoids which can be used as analgesics. Method:  This study used post-test only control group design. The number of mice that used was 25 mice, divided into 5 groups. Which were given different therapies aquadest 10mL/KgBW, acetosal 150 mg/KgBW, extract of Rhizophora mucronata 250 mg/KgBW, 500 mg/KgBW, and 1000 mg/kg bw. The pain was induced by 0,7% glacial acetic acid at a dose of 10 mL/KgBW.  The writhes of the mice was being calculated with an interval of 10 minutes in 30 minutes. Result:  The results of the analysis showed the decrease in writhes of mice  in acetosal group dose 150 mg/kg bw, Rhizophora mucronata leaves extract dose 250 mg/kg bw, 500 mg/kg bw, and 1000 mg/kg bw. There was a significant difference in the results of the Mann-Whitney U test with p<0,05 in the aquadest group and the acetosal group with the Rhizophora mucronata leaves extract group dose 500 mg/kg bw, the difference between the acetosal group and the Rhizophora mucronata leaves extract group dose 250 mg/kg bw, and the difference between the Rhizophora mucronata leaves extract group dose 500 mg/kg bw and the Rhizophora mucronata leaves extract group dose 1000 mg/kg bw. Conclusion: Rhizophora mucronata leaves extract dose 500 mg/kg bw can provide analgesic effect and can reduce the writhing frequency in mice much better than acetosal group.

Objective: Comparing the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic and abdominal sacrocolpopexy in vaginal vault prolapse post-hysterectomy’s patient. Method: Systematic search data is performed on medical database (PUBMED, Cochrane Database) using keyword:(1) vault prolapse [title] AND (2) laparoscopic[title] AND sacrocolpopexy[title]. Inclusion criteria:(1) randomized controlled trial and observational studies, (2) women with vaginal vault prolapse post hysterectomy, (3) intervention studied: laparoscopic (LSC) and abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC), (4) the entire fully accessible papers can be accessed and data can be accurately analyzed. Comparison about clinical outcomes of LSC and ASC was performed using narrative analysis and meta-analysis (RevMan). Results: Three studies compared clinical outcomes of LSC and ASC with a total of 243 samples (118 in LSC and 125 in ASC group). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between LSC and ASC (OR 1.10;95%CI 0.58-2.08). LSC was associated with less blood loss (MD 111.64 mL,95%CI-166.13 - -57.15 mL) and shorter length of hospital stay (MD -1.82 days;95%CI -2.52- -1.12 days) but requires a longer operating time (MD 22.82 minutes,95%CI 0.43-45.22 minutes). There was no statistically significant difference to anatomical outcomes (measurement of point C on POP-Q), subjective outcomes measured by PGI-I and reoperation numbers (repeat surgical interventions) for prolapse recurrence between LSC and ASC groups after one year of follow-up. Conclusions: LSC showed similar anatomic results compared to ASC with less blood loss and shorter length of hospital stay in management patient with vaginal vault prolapse.

Background: Lymphatic filariasis is a parasitic infection caused by nematodes such as filaria Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. These parasites can be transmitted through mosquito bites such as several species of mosquitoes, particularly Anopheles, Aedes, Culex, and Mansonia with geographical variations in the dominant vector identity. The main strategy used consists of community-wide mass drug administration (MDA) for the entire population at risk to stop disease transmission and prevent infectious morbidity. WHO recommends the use of annual medication in combination with the triple drug ivermectin therapy. Objective: To compare DEC and albendazole (IDA) versus the two drugs albendazole and diethycarbamazine or albendazole and ivermectin therapy. Methods: The literature search was carried out independently by the researcher using the Sciencedirect, Pubmed, and Cochrane online databases without limiting the type of study or the year of publication. The keywords used in this study were combined with the Boolean operator, namely "AND" namely ((((Lymphatic filariasis) AND (albendazole)) AND (diethylcarbamazine)) AND (ivermectin)) AND (compare). Results: Where triple drug therapy was significantly better in reducing and clearing microfilariae and worm nests in patients with lymphatic filariasis compared to two drug therapy alone. However, side effects occur more frequently in the combination of three therapies. The average side effects were low, such as headaches, joint pain, fatigue, and nausea. Conclusion: although it has relatively low side effects that occur in three drug combinations rather than two drug combination therapy, triple therapy combination therapy is more effective than two drug therapy in treating lymphatic filariasis disease.

Background: Labor induction is a procedure to stimulate uterine contractions during pregnancy before labor begins on its own to achieve a vaginal birth with medical or mechanical intervention to start the labor. This procedure aims to stimulate more extensive contraction in the uterus. The labor induction can reduce the caesarean rate. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and misoprostol are the commonest medicine used to ripen the cervix in the Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Objective: Our study aim to evaluate the success rate of induction of labor patient. Methods: This study was a descriptive study using the medical record in 2018 in the Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. A total of 183 patient’s medical record data who underwent induced labor were used in this study. Inclusion criteria were the women with indication to deliver and have no cephalo-pelvic disproportion. Women with contraindication labor induction were excluded. Data was described using table and narrative approach. Results: The most range of gestational age was 21-36 weeks (53.01%) followed by 37-42 weeks (42.07%). There were 68 patients (37,1%) primigravida and 115 patients (62,8%) were multipara. The major induced labor was conducted with misoprostol (78.6%), and the most pelvic scores were 2 (58.46%) before underwent induced labor. Vertex delivery was the preferred mode of delivery after the induction of labor with 89 patients (48,62%). The labor induction failure followed with the caesarean operation were 27 patients (14,7%) and one patient (0,54%) with hysterotomy, most of them caused by failure to progress and fetal distress. There were 78 babies (43%) with the weight over 2500 g, 28 babies (31%) were over 2000 g, and the other was below 2000 g. A total of 84.71% with labor induction can be delivered vaginally, and It is a good number to reduce the rate of caesarean operations. Conclusion: This study concludes that misoprostol uses for the induction of labor than the other. Delivery abdominal is less percentage than the additional delivery finds that as a failure of induction of labor. The Labor induction success to delivered vaginally can reduce the rate of caesarean operation.

Background: COVID-19 is a new pandemic that has claimed many lives in many countries. This pandemic was caused by the SARSCoV2. Until now, there is no specific antiviral drug or vaccine against Covid-19 for potential therapy in humans. This virus can cause cytokine storms which can worsen symptoms in sufferers due to an imbalance between increased oxidant production and available antioxidants. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that protects the body from various bad effects of free radicals. At high concentrations vitamin C plays an important role in immunomodulation. This study was conducted to determine the effect of high doses of vitamin C on levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in Covid-19. Method: This research type is literature study. The population in this study were journals about Covid-19, vitamin C, antioxidants and free radicals, inflammatory reactions due to viral infections with samples taken from indexed journals published from 2015 to 2020. There are also clinical trials of high doses of vitamin C against inflammation in Covid-19 from these journals. Results: The results of the study in a clinical trial conducted on 54 patients enrolled in 3 hospitals given a 1: 1 ratio for high-dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) or placebo administration. The HDIVC group received 12 g of vitamin C / 50 ml every 12 hours for 7 days at a rate of 12 ml / hour, and the placebo group received bacteriostatic water for injection in the same way. HDIVC administration showed a reduction in inflammatory markers compared to placebo. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study shows that high doses of vitamin C play a role in reducing levels of proinflammatory cytokines.
