Tuberkulosis (TB) adalah suatu penyakit infeksi menular yang disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium tuberkulosis yang dapat menyerang berbagai organ terutama paru-paru. Penyakit ini bila tidak diobati atau pengobatannya tidak tuntas dapat menimbulkan komplikasi berbahaya hingga kematian. TB diperkirakan sudah ada di dunia sejak 5000 tahun sebelum masehi, namun kemajuan dalam penemuan dan pengendalian pe…
To investigate whether acupuncture is a) more effective than no prophylactic treatment/routine care only; b) more effective than ‘sham’ (placebo) acupuncture; and c) as effective as other interventions in reducing headache frequency in adults with episodic or chronic tension-type headache.
To investigate whether acupuncture is a) more effective than no prophylactic treatment/routine care only; b) more effective than sham (placebo) acupuncture; and c) as effective as prophylactic treatment with drugs in reducing headache frequency in adults with episodic migraine.
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of pain and functional limitation. Few hip OA treatments have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical therapy which aims to treat disease by inserting very thin needles at specific points on the body
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) has been defined as the rate of fetal growth that is below normal in light of the growth potential of a specific infant as per the race and gender of the fetus. It has also been described as a deviation from or a reduction in an expected fetal growth pattern and is usually the result of innate reduced growth potential or because of multiple adverse effec…
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) has been defined in several ways, but in general describes a condition in which the fetus exhibits poor growth in utero. This complication of pregnancy poses a significant public health burden as well as increased morbidity and mortality for the offspring. In human IUGR, alteration in fetal glucose and insulin homeostasis occurs in an effort to conserve en…
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. IUGR is defined as fetus that fails to achieve his growth potential. Antenatal small for gestational age (SGA) is defined as fetus with weight
Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is a preferred alternative to abdominal myomectomy due to shorter hospitalization, faster recovery, and decreased intraoperative adhesions. The criteria, however, which constitute proper selection of patients for LM, are still a matter of debate. Since conversion to either laparoscopic‑assisted myomectomy (LAM) or laparotomy (EL) entails longer time and increa…
Myomas, also known as fibroids, are a specific characteristic of the human species. No other primates develop fibroids. At a cellular level, myomas are benign hyperplastic lesions of uterine smooth muscle cells.There are interesting theoretical concepts that link the development of myomas in humans with the highly specific process of childbirth from an upright position and the resulting need fo…
Myomas are the most common benign tumors of the genital organs in women of childbearing age, causing significant morbidity and impairing their quality of life. In our investigation, we have reviewed the epidemiological data related to the development of myomas in order to homogenize the current data. Therefore, a MEDLINE and PubMed search, for the years 1990-2013, was conducted using a combina…
