Successful management of adult hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with an etoposide-containing regimen: Case report and literature review

Objective: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disorder characterized by a hyperimmune response. Although HLH is well described in the pediatric population, less is known about the appropriate management in adults. Despite the inclusion of etoposide in HLH society protocols, some clinicians refrain from using it due to its cytotoxicity and potential adverse effects. Case: We report here the case of a 43-year-old male presenting with fever and pancytopenia, who was diagnosed with HLH following further evaluation. The patient immediately started the HLH-2004 initial protocol, which consisted of dexamethasone, etoposide, cyclosporine, and IVIG. Symptoms improved after 2 weeks of treatment. Subsequent bone marrow biopsy showed normal results, and the patient achieved complete remission, leading to the termination of treatment in the 12th week of the protocol. At 8 months post-treatment, the patient remained recurrence-free with normal hematological and biochemical test results. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering etoposide-containing regimens, particularly for medically fit patients.

The Development of Environment-Based Visual Media to Enhance Learning Outcomes and Student Motivation in Science Course

Learning media plays a crucial role in education, especially in facilitating student understanding and motivation. In this era of rapid technological advancement, learning media has expanded to include various forms such as audio, visual, and multimedia. To enhance learning outcomes, teaching media needs to be utilized as a source of learning for students, including environmental media as a learning resource. Visual media is expected to improve students’ understanding of ecological theme concepts in line with the intended objectives. This study employs the Research and Development (RnD) method in developing learning media, requiring a suitable instructional model that aligns with the content’s characteristics. The ADDIE (Analysis – Design – Development – Implementation – Evaluation) development model is used in developing the Microsoft PowerPoint tutorial video media. Normality tests for the variables were conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Based on the normality test results using SPSS 15 for Windows and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique, the values obtained were (0.120), (0.165), (0.114), and (0.127) with significance values of (0.200), (0.092), (0.200), and (0.200) respectively. When the significance level is set at 0.05, the significance values are more significant than 0.05. Subsequently, hypothesis testing (T-test) was conducted to determine the difference in using environment-based visual media between the control and experimental groups using the t-test formula. The t-test formula was used to determine the difference in students’ critical thinking abilities, both in the SPSS 20 for Windows calculation using Separated Variance, as the data exhibited non-homogeneity of variance. The hypothesis testing results indicate that the samples are non-homogeneous, with a calculated t-value of 6.833 and a significance level 0.000. When the significance level is 0.05, the significance value is much smaller than α. Thus, it can be concluded that environment-based visual media influences students’ learning motivation in the Science subject at grade 5 of SDN Kotakulon 2 Bondowoso. Based on the calculation and data analysis, it can be inferred that the hypothesis testing results support Ha (alternative hypothesis) and reject Ho (null hypothesis), meaning there is an influence between the variable (x) of environment-based visual media development and the variable (y) of student learning motivation.

Exploration of reasons for primary care testing (the Why Test study): a UK-wide audit using the Primary care Academic CollaboraTive.

Rates of blood testing have increased over the past two decades. Reasons for testing cannot easily be extracted from electronic health record databases. To explore who requests blood tests and why, and what the outcomes of testing are in UK primary care. A retrospective audit of electronic health records in general practices in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland was undertaken. Fifty-seven clinicians from the Primary care Academic CollaboraTive (PACT) each reviewed the electronic health records of 50 patients who had blood tests in April 2021. Anonymised data were extracted including patient characteristics, who requested the tests, reasons for testing, test results, and outcomes of testing. Data were collected from 2572 patients across 57 GP practices. The commonest reasons for testing in primary care were investigation of symptoms (43.2%), monitoring of existing disease (30.1%), monitoring of existing medications (10.1%), and follow up of previous abnormalities (6.8%); patient requested testing was rare in this study (1.5%). Abnormal and borderline results were common, with 26.6% of patients having completely normal test results. Around one-quarter of tests were thought to be partially or fully unnecessary when reviewed retrospectively by a clinical colleague. Overall, 6.2% of tests in primary care led to a new diagnosis or confirmation of a diagnosis. The utilisation of a national collaborative model (PACT) has enabled a unique exploration of the rationale and outcomes of blood testing in primary care, highlighting areas for future research and optimisation.

Factors Affecting the Developmental Status of Children Aged 6 Months to 2 Years in Urban and Rural Areas.

The first two years of life, including the period from conception to 2 years of age, are very important for a child's growth and development. This study sought to describe the developmental status and the environmental factors that influence it in children aged 6 months to 2 years in urban and rural areas. The research sites were purposively selected: specific health centres in the city of Bandung and West Bandung district were chosen and the study was conducted from November to December 2022. A cross-sectional study was conducted with healthy children aged 6 months to 2 years and their parents, who agreed to participate in the study. Researchers performed developmental tests using the Developmental Pre-screening Questionnaire with classifications for normal developmental test results and developmental delays. During the study, 346 children met the inclusion criteria, resulting in a sample of 164 (47.4%) boys and 182 (52.6%) girls. There were no significant differences among children with developmental delays in urban and rural areas. The factors that influence the possibility of developmental delays in the two research areas were the child's age, exposure to screen time, stimulation, nutritional status, and the use of the mother-child handbook.
