Effect of Omeprazole to Dyspeptic Symptom on Ramadan Fasting Patient Based on Dyspepsia Symptoms Severity Index Scores

Background: Dyspepsia is a symptoms collection of discomfort at the upper abdomen. Ramadan Fasting is a worship that must be run by all Moslems that do not eat and drink for ± 12 hours. Proton pump inhibitors are drugs commonly given to patients with dyspepsia with mechanism controlling gastric acid secretion. The aim of this study is to find the effect of omeprazole to the patient with dyspepsia and undergo Ramadan fasting.Method: Using analytic study design, conducted in outpatient in Koja Hospital Jakarta from June - July 2013, for patients with dyspepsia who will undergo Ramadan fasting. Subjects are divided into 2 groups; one group was given omeprazole while others were given a placebo. Before and after 2 weeks of fasting, dyspepsia symptoms severity index scores (DSSI) was taken which assessed changes in both groups and compared using student T-test.Results: DSSI scores on average before the intervention of both groups (n = 30) was not significant (p = 0.9). In the placebo group obtained increasing of DSSI score from 27.7 ± 14 to 36 ± 14.8 (p = 0.001), whereas in the omeprazole group obtained increasing of score only from 27.2 ± 9.4 to 30 ± 9.9 (p = 0.08). In the placebo group score worsened by 8.3 ± 7.2 but in the omeprazole group with only 2.7 ± 5.7 (p = 0.02).Conclusion: There was a significant decrease of DSSI scores in fasting patient with omeprazole. Therapy with omeprazole 20 mg twice daily during the month of fasting can reduce the abdominal complain in patient with dyspepsia.

Approach to the Patient with Accidentally Swallowing a Needle

People are capable of ingesting, inserting, or injecting themselves or others with all manner of foreign objects. Ingested or inserted foreign bodies may cause bowel obstruction or perforation; which lead to severe hemorrhage, abscess formation, or septicemia; or distant embolization. Fortunately, once a foreign body has reached the stomach, it has an 80-90% chance of passage. All sharp foreign bodies should be removed before they pass from the stomach because 15-35% of these will cause intestinal perforation, usually in the area of the ileocecal valve. The abdominal radiograph should be made and repeated to confirm the location of foreign bodies. If a sharp foreign body does not progress for three consecutive days, surgical intervention should be considered and, if the patient becomes symptomatic, surgical intervention will be necessary. In this case, the patient had accidentally swallowed needle 2 days prior to admission, with no complaint any symptoms of abdominal discomfort, and no bloody stools. Observation is the treatment of choice for this case, since needle had passed stomach and reached colon, and it is hoped that the needle pass through without any complication.

Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis in Young Female: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Alcoholic liver cirrhosis is a disease due to excessive alcohol consumption that manifest as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and chronic hepatitis with fibrosis or liver cirrhosis. Alcohol consumption as much as 60-80 g per day for 20 years or more in male, or 20 g/day (approximately 25 mL/day) in female significantly increases the risk of hepatitis and fibrosis as much as 7-47%. The aim of this case report was to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic challenge of alcoholic liver disease in young aged female. A female, 24 years old, came with complaints of bloody vomiting, blacktarry stool, abdominal distention and history of alcohol consumption (canned beer 5%, equal to 56-70 g/day) for 9 years. Physical examination revealed anaemic conjunctiva (Hb 2.9 g/dL), ascites, hepatosplenomegaly, and bilateral legs oedema. Laboratory examinations showed thrombocytopenia (125000/uL) and hypalbuminaemia (2.65 gr/dL). AST and ALP were increased with the value of 175 U/L and 456 U/L, respectively. Albumin-globulin ratio was 0.93 g/dL with serum ascites albumin-gradient was 2.20 g/dL (ascites fluid albumin level was 0.45 gr/dL and serum albumin level was 2.65 gr/dL). Abdominal USG revealed hepatomegaly with coarse heterogenic ecoparenchyma, portal vein dilatation, and splenomegaly. Diagnosis of alcoholic liver cirrhosis was made based on clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings, while biopsy result did not confirm the pathology. Patients condition improved with education of stop alcohol consumption and was given supportive therapy.
