Abstract : Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and nature of extracardiac incidental findings in patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) scans before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort teleradiology study analyzed 33 patients' pre-TAVI CT scans. The study identified and categorized incidental extracardiac findings, highlighting significant findings and those of clear or potential malignancy. Results: All participants in the study had at least one incidental extracardiac finding, with a total of 115 occurrences of 43 different types being recorded. The most common findings were spinal degenerative disc disease, renal cysts, pulmonary edema, and pleural effusions. 73% of the cohort were identified as having clinically significant extracardiac findings. In terms of clearly or potentially malignant findings, these were observed in 42% of the cohort, including renal cell carcinoma, large paratracheal soft tissue mass, multinodular thyroid gland, lung nodules, and prostate enlargement. Conclusion: This study highlights the significant occurrence of extracardiac incidental findings, many of which are clearly or potentially malignant, in pre-TAVI CT scans. These findings underscore the necessity for thorough pre-procedural evaluations in TAVI candidates, as they can influence patient management and outcomes. Future research should aim for larger, multicenter, prospective studies to understand better

Abstract : Background: The ovarian reserve needs to be identified to diagnose and treat infertility. Methods and Material: descriptive, retrospective observational research. 230 people were included in the data from the roughly 500 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the Sulaymaniyah Governorate's Royal Hospital (Infertility Center). The data were utilized to compare the robust regression model with the quantile regression model in medical data using statistical methods (SPSS24, Minitab19 and Eviews 10). The P-value and the Chi-Square test are performed to evaluate any significant correlations between variables. P-values less than 0.05 are considered significant. Results: The vast majority, 34.7% of those women older than 30, had fewer than 8 eggs, while 39.7% had between 8 and 15 eggs. There is a statistically significant relationship between (Age, TSH, FSH and PL) with the number of eggs because the p-value of these was less than the common alpha of 0.01. On the other hand, there is no statistical significance between LH and P4 on the number of eggs because the p-value of both variables was more than 0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that the number of eggs was affected by age, follicle stimulation hormone, and thyroid stimulating hormone. However, no relation between the number of eggs and the luteinizing and progesterone hormones could be found.

Abstract : Objective: Perimenopause is the transition from the reproductive period to the menopausal stage with decreased number and function of oocytes. Transvaginal ultrasound is a reliable alternative method of detecting ovarian reserve. Ajwa dates contain complex macro and micronutrient components complemented by phenolic and flavonoid content considered potential to improve the condition of the ovaries of perimenopausal women which can be assessed through transvaginal ultrasound. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post control design carried out at RSIA Sitti Khadijah I Muhammadiyah Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, in February-August 2023. The study involved 44 perimenopausal subjects aged 42-48 years who were divided into 2 groups randomly (28 intervention groups, 16 control groups). Comparison of ovarian follicular changes analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test. Result: The results of this study showed a decrease in the number of ovarian follicles with an increase in follicle size in the intervention group compared to the control group which experienced an increase in follicle count and a decrease in follicle size in the control group that was statistically significantly different (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Consumption of ajwa dates as an exogenous antioxidant can affect the number and size of antral follicles which is one of the predictive indicators of menopause.

Abstract : Malaria infection is still a public health concern in Batubara District, North Sumatera, Indonesia. Spatial clusters and hotspots of malaria cases are needed to help design elimination strategies in the district. Astudy was undertaken to detect clusters and hotspot of malaria during 2018-2020 in the district. All malaria cases’ house geo-coordinate were captured by using GPS. A retrospective space-time scan statistics analysis based on population data and annual malaria incidence was performed using SaTScan. The Poisson model was employed to determine the high risk of malaria and the highest of likelihood ratio (LLR) stated as most likely cluster, with the significance level of 0.05. There were 1,229 malaria cases reported in Batubara District and the annualized average incidence was 2.73 per 1,000 population. The SaTScan analysis identified three most like clusters and three secondary clusters, while Morans’I showed that there was spatial autocorrelation of malaria in the district. The sub-district of Tanjung Tiram, Sei Suka, and Talawi were consistently the location of clusters. There is evidence for the existence of statistically significant malaria clusters in Batubara District, North Sumatera, Indonesia. These findings may assist health authorities to improve the malaria preventive strategies and develop public health interventions, with special reference to the areas where the clusters and hotspots were found to achieve the malaria elimination goal.

Abstract : Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) are expected to increase because of the rising prevalence of central obesity. Aim: to study weight reduction effects on metabolic, anthropometric, and ultrasound parameters in non-diabetic, overweight, and obese people with NAFLD and NAFPD. Subjects and methods: 133 adults aged 35-65 who were obese or overweight and had no diabetes participated in this study for six months. Participants underwent an individualized, intensive lifestyle program that included dietary changes. The diet recommendation was a low-fat hypocaloric meal. All subjects underwent ultrasound (US) examinations before the program, at 3rd month as well as at 6 months. We assessed the effects of weight loss on NAFPD (at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months) by linear mixed components. Result: Triglycerides and transaminases, two laboratory parameters, were significantly reduced by the ending of the study. The ultrasound outcomes revealed that in non-diabetic people who are overweight or obese, losing weight significantly lowers NAFLD while leaving NAFPD unaffected. No association was found between NAFPD and anthropometric parameters, blood pressure assessments, or blood indicators at rho > 0.4. Conclusion: weight reduction leads to a substantial drop in NAFLD in overweight and obese non-diabetics. Losing weight, on the other hand, seems not to affect the NAFPD.
