"This timely book is a road map for defining the care of acute heart failure patients in the short stay or observation unit setting. Produced in collaboration with the Society of Chest Pain Centers, this book provides an understanding of the diverse medical needs and solutions, administrative processes, and regulatory issues necessary for successful management. In an environment of increasing financial consciousness, medical practice is changing drastically. Short stay care is premier among the new specialties that cater to the complex balance of optimizing patient outcomes while minimizing fiscal burdens. The observation unit has proven to be an excellent arena for the care of acute heart failure, replete with opportunities to improve both medical management and quality metrics. Unique to the field, Short stay management of acute heart failure, providing the medical, regulatory, and economic tools necessary to create and implement successful short stay management protocols and units for the care of the heart failure patient. It is an essential guide for health care professionals and for hospitals and institutions wishing to be recognized as quality heart failure centers as accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers."

"Tujuan: Mengetahui proporsi kasus SARI yang disebabkan oleh virus infl uenza. Metode yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi keberadaan virus infl uenza adalah metode Reverse Transkriptase - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Metode: Usap tenggorok yang diambil dari pasien yang memiliki simptom mengarah ke SARI di ekstrak untuk memperoleh RNA, kemudian diamplifi kasi menggunakan 5 pasang primer dan probe (infl uenza A, Infl uenza B, A/H1N1, A/H3N2 dan A/H5N1) dengan metode real-time RT-PCR. Hasil: Dari 549 sampel diketahui bahwa 6% pasien SARI disebabkan oleh virus Infl uenza, dan 4% disebabkan oleh virus Infl uenza A, 2% disebabkan oleh virus Infl uenza B. Virus infl uenza A yang paling banyak menyebabkan SARI adalah virus A/H3N2. Sedangkan 94% dari keseluruhan sampel SARI yang diterima menunjukan hasil negatif terhadap Infl uenza. Kesimpulan: Sebagian besar kasus SARI tidak disebabkan oleh virus infl uenza. Virus infl uenza A yang paling sering menyebabkan SARI adalah A/H3N2. Kondisi bahwa Kasus fl u burung A/H5N1 sudah pernah diidentifi kasi di Indonesia serta penyebaran virus baru infl uenza A/H1N1 pada tahun 2009 meningkatkan kembali pentingnya survelians SARI.

Aim: To access the proportion of Infl uenza which caused SARI cases Methods: From April 2008 until March 2009, 549 samples of nasal and throat swabs were collected from SARI patients from eight hospitals in eight provinces in Indonesia.

Methods: The samples were analyzed for Infl uenza by real-time RT-PCR method using several specifi c primers for infl uenza A (A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and A/H5N1) and Infl uenza B. The sequence of these primers was provided by CDC, Atlanta.

Results: We found 516 (94%) of the specimens testing results were not infl uenza A or B viruses. There was 21 (4%) cases caused by infl uenza A and 12 (2%) caused by infl uenza B. From the infl uenza A cases, one case of SARI was caused by A/H1N1, two cases were A/H5N1, 17 cases were A/H3N2 and one case was unsubtypeable Infl uenza A.

Conclusion: The majority of SARI cases were not caused by infl uenza viruses. From this surveillance the most common infl uenza A related to SARI is A/H3N2. Facts of the avian infl uenza virus A/H5N1 cases have been found in Indonesia and the spread of novel virus infl uenza A/H1N1 in 2009 raised our concern about the importance of SARI surveillance."

"Administration of a renal dose of dopamine in acute renal failure still attracts a lot of controversy, store there has not been a study that found a significant protective effect on the kidneys.Nevertheless, according to its ability to increase renal blood flow in laboratory animals and normal subjects, several parties still maintain its use, even though the required dose is very much individualized.The side effect of dopamine, such as tachycardia, arrhythmia, miocardiac ischemia, and intestinal ischemia due to precapilary vasoconstriction causing bacterial translo-caiionfrom the intestinal lumen to the systemic bloodstream, even though relatively rare, should receive adequate attention."

"PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of comorbidities on the surgical outcomes of early cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected for patients with acute cholecystitis who underwent early cholecystectomy. Patients were separated into three groups based on the cholecystitis severity grade, and the surgical outcomes of early cholecystectomy were analyzed. Patients with mild and moderate cholecystitis were subdivided into a comorbidity group (n = 10) and a non-comorbidity group (n = 83).RESULTS: There were 57 (55.3%) patients with mild cholecystitis, 36 (35.0%) with moderate cholecystitis, and 10 (9.7%) with severe cholecystitis. The surgical outcomes were significantly worse for patients with severe cholecystitis than for patients with mild or moderate cholecystitis. There were no postoperative deaths after cholecystectomy. There were no significant differences in the complication rate (P = 0.629), conversion rate (P = 0.114), or intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.147) between the comorbidity and non-comorbidity groups.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that early cholecystectomy can be performed safely for patients with mild and moderate cholecystitis even if comorbidities are present. Early cholecystectomy may be an alternative treatment strategy for patients with severe cholecystitis who are candidates for anesthesia and surgery."
