The goal of this clinical trial is o determine the feasibility and efficacy of high enteral protein in critically ill postoperative children. It will also learn about the safety of high enteral protein for critically ill postoperative children. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does high enteral protein improve nitrogen balance in critically ill postoperative children? Does high enteral protein reduce levels of Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (I-FABP) in critically ill postoperative children? Researchers will compare high enteral protein to a standard enteral protein to see if high enteral protein works to improve nitrogen balance and reduces levels of Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (I-FABP) in critically ill postoperative children. Participants will: Take high enteral protein or standard enteral protein for 72 hours The nitrogen balance and I-FABP levels will be assessed both before and after enteral feeding. Monitoring and reporting of adverse events and serious adverse events will be conducted in accordance with good clinical practice guidelines.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if different types of heart rate control work to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation related to rheumatic mitral stenosis in terms of reducing hospitalizations, improving quality of life, and enhancing physical functional capacities. The two types of heart rate (HR) control are strict (resting HR of 60-80 bpm) versus lenient (resting HR of 81-110 bpm) rate control strategies. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can lenient versus strict heart rate control reduce rehospitalization in patients with atrial fibrillation and rheumatic mitral stenosis? - Does lenient versus strict heart rate control improve the quality of life (QoL) in patients with atrial fibrillation and rheumatic mitral stenosis? - Does lenient versus strict heart rate control enhance functional capacity in patients with atrial fibrillation and rheumatic mitral stenosis? Researchers will compare strict rate control to lenient rate control to see if a particular rate control strategy is non-inferior to the other. Participants will: - Take standardized drugs as per PERKI (Indonesian Heart Association) guidelines for Atrial Fibrillation, which would be either beta-blockers, digoxin, or in combination. This standardized treatment of Atrial Fibrillation will be monitored once every month to see if the dose needs to be titrated in order to reach targeted heart rate control. - After the target of HR control is reached, the participant will be followed up every two weeks via telephone to check for any signs and symptoms. - Furthermore, after the HR target is reached, the participant will visit the cardiology outpatient clinics once every month for 3 consecutive months to see the clinical outcomes of hospitalization, QoL via SF-36 questionnaire, and functional capacities with 6MWT (6-minute walk test). - Additionally, the cardiac function would be evaluated by echocardiography at the baseline (time of enrollment) and at the end of the follow up period.
Chronic pain is a medical and social problem that can significantly impact the quality of life. Chronic pain is an important risk factor in the development of depression. It is shown by the significantly higher prevalence of depression in individuals who experience chronic pain (20-80%). Apart from that, chronic pain and depression also have a close relationship in the development of disease and mutually influence the severity of each condition. To reduce the cost of pain management from a pharmacological perspective and its use in the long term, it is necessary to consider other non-pharmacological treatment methods that have good therapeutic effects with minimal side effects. Acupuncture has become a non-pharmacological therapy option that has proven its effectiveness and safety in treating chronic pain in depressed patients. Previous literature has reported the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy, especially auricular acupuncture in treating pain. Auricular acupuncture therapy using press needles is quite easy to apply, fast, and can provide continuous stimulation with minimal side effects. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the auricular needle press in chronic pain with depressive symptoms. This study was a double-blinded randomized clinical trial and was carried out on outpatients at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital Jakarta and Soerojo Hospital Magelang. This is also a collaborative study between the medical acupuncture department and the psychiatry department. This study includes 60 participants who will be randomly allocated into 2 groups, the press needle and sham press needle groups. The press needles will be placed at 6 auricular points bilaterally, which are MA-TF1 Shenmen, MA-IC7 Heart, and MA-IT1 Cingulate gyrus. The outcomes that will be assessed in this study are pain intensity using the visual analog scale (VAS) and quality of life using the short form-12 (SF-12) as well as time-to-event achievement in the form of a decrease in the VAS score >= 14 mm.
Effectiveness of opioid free anesthesia using Dexmedetomidine to inhibit nociception in abdominal laparoscopic surgery
Without adequate monitoring, administration of anesthetic agents can create unnecessary deeper anesthetic plane in geriatric population. This study aims to compare the duration of deep hypnotic time (DHT) in geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia with additional BIS monitor compared to standard monitoring. This study was a randomized clinical trial involving 44 geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia. Subjects are divided into two groups, one with additional BISTM monitor and the other with standard monitoring. Data acquired from BISTM will continually be recorded to be analyzed afterward
this study tries to measure the effect of intradialytic ketoacid analogues on inflammatory parameters
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience resulting from tissue damage. Pain management is typically conducted according to the World Health Organization (WHO) pain management ladder. Analgesics administered to pediatric patients vary in dosage and type, but these analgesics often have significant side effects. The acupuncture technique using press needles is a non-pharmacological pain therapy modality that has been studied for its ability to reduce the use of analgesic drugs, thereby potentially decreasing side effects associated with analgesic use. The study was conducted using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design involving 70 pediatric postoperative patients aged 1-18 years who were admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Subjects were divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. The control group received standard analgesic therapy and sham press needle application (a patch resembling a press needle without a needle), while the experimental group received standard analgesic therapy and press needle application at acupuncture points after the patient had been in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for 24 hours. Pain scale monitoring was conducted at 1, 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale for children aged 1-8 years, and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for children over 8 years old. This study hypothesizes that the acupuncture technique using press needles can reduce the pain scale in pediatric postoperative patients, leading to a decrease in the use of analgesics and a reduction in side effects associated with analgesic use.
