There are about 1170 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Indonesia. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare 0,1% topical low molecular weight (7 kDa) hyaluronic acid with 0,1% high molecular weight (1.800 kDa) hyaluronic acid as therapy of xerotic skin in elderly
Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a superficial, mild, often chronic recurring infection of the skin caused by Malassezia species which is characterized by the formation of hypopigmented, hyperpigmented and/or erythematous macules. It commonly occurs on the trunk and proximal extremities, but can also be found on the entire body. Diagnosis of PV established based on clinical features and microscopic examination with potassium hydroxide. The goals of PV treatment are: to eradicate the hyphae, disappearance of clinical signs and symptoms, to lessen recurrences, and improve patient's quality of life. Topical antifungal remains first line therapy and search for an ideal topical agent of PV continue. Various studies reported combining more than one topical agents can increase the efficacy, thus result in faster mycological cure.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to test effects of leucine-enriched branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) in critically ill patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: • How are the changes in muscle thickness between groups at baseline and end of study • Is there a decrease in interleukin-6 levels between groups at baseline and end of study • Is there a decrease in sequential organ failure assessment score between groups at baseline and end of study. Participants will be given leucine-enriched branched-chain amino acid 40 g/day enterally or parenterally for 10 days. Researchers will compare with control groups to see if there is any changes between groups at baseline and end of study.
Iron and vitamin D are two essential micronutrients for the normal growth of young children, and their deficiencies are still a major health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. A significant association between vitamin D deficiency and anemia has been reported throughout the world. Several studies in various populations all over the world suggest a high degree of association between Iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency. It is still controversial which deficiency causes the other but this association should be addressed in view of a better treatment proposal. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on iron status in iron deficiency anemia.
Introduction: The presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in atrial septal defect (ASD) poses a clinical challenge on whether or not to close the defect. Closing the defect increases the risk of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), while leaving the defect open may eventually lead to irreparable shunt reversal, hypoxemia, and death. The implementation of a fenestrated patch may halt LCOS while adding volume to the left heart. Methods: this is an analytical observational study involving patients with ostium secundum defect with PH who were operated on in Dr. Soetomo Hospital between January 2017 and October 2021. The aim of this study is to evaluate the improvement in left ventricular size during both systole and diastole.
This research focuses on the importance of preconception health care. In this research, an intervention was carried out providing health education regarding preconception nutritional preparation. Research methods used is a Quasi Experiment with the Non Equivalent Control Group method. Example used in this research were 100 prospective brides and grooms in Indonesia. The intervention group will be provided with education through a preconception nutrition education module and the brides health card, and the control group was given education using the brides health leaflet.
Intradialytic aerobic exercise is not effective in increasing hemodialysis adequacy but is effective in improving physical performance in twice-weekly hemodialysis patients.
This research is a quantitative study using the Pre-Experimental Model One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design with total sampling from the Republic of Indonesia Defense University batch 4 cadets that fullfiled criteria. The intervention is 12 weeks basic combat training (only one group), a compulsory program for cadets.
The study was an open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-period, two-sequence, two-day crossover study, conducted to find out whether the dapagliflozin 10 mg film-coated tablet produced by PT Dexa Medica (test drug) was bioequivalent to the reference drug (Forxiga® 10 mg Film-Coated Tablet, manufactured by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, USA for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., China imported by PT AstraZeneca Indonesia, Indonesia), under fasting condition with a five days wash-out period, involving 24 healthy adult male and female subjects.
Double J stent (ureteral stent) can cause discomfort to patients, generally due to irritation of the bladder mucosa, especially in the trigone area, smooth muscle spasm, and reflux of urine into the ureter. Complaints often appear in patients, especially lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), pain in the waist when urinating due to reflux of urine, sexual dysfunction, and hematuria. Currently, to assess complaints after ureteral stent placement, the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire instrument consists of 6 topics: urinary complaints, pain, general health, work, sexual problems, and other things. Interleukin-6 is an important inflammatory cytokine when irritation occurs after ureteral stent placement. Interleukin 10 is a cytokine with potent anti-inflammatory properties that plays a central role in limiting the host's immune response to pathogens, thereby preventing host damage and maintaining normal tissue homeostasis. The profile of these biomarkers has the potential to determine the correct prognosis and therapy. Mirabegron is a β3 adrenergic receptor agonist that has a dual antioxidant effect that plays a key role in the first step of the antimicrobial response and early resolution of inflammation so that post-stent complaints similar to overactive bladder complaints can be resolved. Tamsulosin (a selective α1A- and α1D-adrenoceptor antagonist) has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscle in the prostate, the neck of the bladder, and the distal ureter, thereby reducing the inflammatory reaction and improving oxidative stress by reducing the formation of reactive oxidative stress.
