"Heart abnormalities in cirrhotic patients have been known for five decades, with atria and ventricular dilatation. Pozzi et al reported that in cirrhotic patients with or without ascites, the diastolic function was lower than control. Ascitic paracentesis improved diastolic function. The diameter of both atria was larger in cirrhotic patients with or without ascites. The diastolic diameter of left ventricle did not differ significantly in cirrhotic patients with or without ascites compared to control, but there was an increase after paracentesis. Eection fraction was lower in cirrhotic and increased after ascitic parancentesis although the increase was not significant.

The aim of the Study: To compare the function and structure o fthe heart before and afler ascitic paracentesis in cirrhotic patients.

Methods: This study tool: place from February 2000 to April 2001 in dr. Pringadi Hospital/H.Adam Malik Hospital. There were 18 samples (12 men and 6 women), 15 of which were cirrhotic patients with tense ascites and 3 cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites. The mean age was 51,8 + 8,28 years, the youngest being 29 years and the oldest 65 years. The mean ascitic fluid removed by paracentesis was 7,20 liters with a range of 5 to 9 liters. Immediately following paracentesis, Dextran 40 % was administered at a dose of 8g lL ascilic fluid aspirated.

Results: The diameter of the four heart chambers decreased after paracentesis, but the decrease was not statistically significant. There was increase in E/A ratio after ascitic paracentesis, from 0,93 + 0,3 70 to 1,06 + 0,383 (significant, p<0, 05), meaning that there was an improvement in diastolic function after ascitic paracentesis. There was also an increase in ejection fraction from 68,99 + 13,26 % to 72,10 + 11,10 %, bitt this was not significant (p>0,05).

Conclusion: after paracentesis, there was a significant inmprovement in diastolic function while diameter of the four heart chambers decreased and the ejection fraction increased insignificantly"

"Fetus in fetu (FIF) adalah kelainan kongenital yang jarang ditemukan, muncul 1 dari 500 000 kelahiran dengan perbandingan laki-laki lebh banyak 2:1. Lebih dari 80 kasus telah dilaporkan dalam literatur dengan lokasi yang bervariasi mulai dari retroperitoneal dan intraperitoneal yang tersering sampai ke intracranial, intraoral dan intrascrotal. Tanda penting FIF yang dapat ditemukan secara radiologis adalah ditemukannya massa kistik jaringan lunak dengan komponen padat di dalamnya yang berbentuk seperti fetus dan memiliki organ-organ dengan diferensiasi yang tinggi antara lain seperti ditemukannya vertebra, tulang panjang, kranium, usus, ekstremitas, jari-jari, dll. Secara radiologis FIF penting untuk dibedakan dengan Teratoma karena kemungkinan untuk terjadinya keganasan lebih tinggi dan operasi eksisi massa perlu dilakukan secepatnya pada teratoma.

AbstractFetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital anomaly, appear 1 in 500 000 births, with male to female ratio of 2:1. More than 80 cases have been reported in the literature with varied locations ranging from the most common retroperitoneal and intraperitoneal to intracranial, intraoral and intrascrotal. Essential signs that can be found in the FIF is a large cystic mass with a complex solid component inside with a fetusform and have organs with high differentiation such as the the vertebrae, long bones, skull, intestine, limb, fingers, etc. It is radiologicaly important to distinguish FIF with teratoma because of the possibility for the occurrence of malignancy and mass excision surgery should be done as early as possible for teratomas."

"Cognitive Screening Instruments: A Practical Approach provides a practical and structured overview of some of the most commonly used and easily available cognitive screening instruments applicable in the outpatient clinic and bedside setting. Dementia and cognitive disorders are now recognised as an increasing public health problem, both in terms of patient numbers and cost, as populations age throughout the world. Despite this, many patients with dementia never receive a formal diagnosis, with implications for their appropriate care and management. Diagnostic tests which identify cases of dementia therefore have an important role. Expert authors from around the world equip the reader of Cognitive Screening Instruments: A Practical Approach with clear instructions on the usage of each screening instrument, its strengths and weaknesses, the time required for administration, and rules on scoring, such as how to correct for variations in the patient's age or education, and suggested cut-off scores. Cognitive Screening Instruments: A Practical Approach is a handy, illustrated guide and a valuable diagnostic aid for practitioners working closely with patients with dementia and mild cognitive impairment. This volume will be of use both to clinicians and to professionals in disciplines allied to medicine who are called upon to assess patients with possible cognitive disorders, including neurologists, old age psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, primary care physicians, dementia support workers, and members of memory assessment teams."
