Banyak pasien depresi tidak memberikan respons baik terhadap terapi anti-depresan standar. Celecoxib, obat golongan penghambat COX 2, dapat digunakan sebagai terapi add-on. Tujuan: Mengetahui manfaat celecoxib sebagai terapi add on pada depresi. Pembahasan: Depresi memiliki kaitan erat dengan proses inflamasi, yang ditunjukkan dengan peningkatan kadar CRP dan sitokin pro-inflamasi, khususnya IL-6, IL-1, serta TNF-α. Celecoxib bekerja menghambat sintesis PG, sehingga tidak terbentuk metabolit aktif PG, yaitu PGE 2, yang berperan dalam patofisiologi depresi. Celecoxib juga dapat meningkatkan neurotransmiter serotonin dan noradrenalin di SSP dan menekan aktivitas berlebih aksis HPA. Celecoxib sebagai terapi add on mengurangi skor HDRS, menurunkan kadar IL-6 serum, menunjukkan tingkat respons dan remisi lebih baik daripada anti-depresan tunggal atau plasebo. Dosis celecoxib yang paling sering digunakan untuk efek anti-depresan adalah 400 mg/hari selama 6 minggu. Celecoxib dapat ditoleransi dengan baik pada mayoritas pasien. Simpulan: Celecoxib efektif menurunkan gejala depresi, menurunkan konsentrasi sitokin pro-inflamasi dalam darah, menurunkan skor HDRS, dan dapat ditoleransi dengan baik.

The number of MS patients is increasing in Indonesia. There is a critical need of systematically reviewing the new medication for both efficacy and safety. This review aimed to appraise the clinical evidences of oral fingolimod for the effective treatment of relapsing MS. We searched in Pubmed database. We limited our search to only articles that were in full text, published within the last 10 years, and in English. We used the Jadad scale to measure the quality of the evidences. We only found 3 trials, all conducted with randomized and double blind design. The three trials were: the FREEDOMS I, FREEDOMS II, and TRANSFORMS studies. The FREEDOMS studies compared with placebo, and the TRANSFORMS study compared with injectable interferon. All of the studies have good quality in methodology (Jadad scale >3). The results of the three studies showed the benefit of oral fingolimod in reducing MS relapse compared with placebo with relative risk reduction range from 48% to 54%, and also in reducing new lesions in T2 brain MRI with relative risk reduction range from 35% to 74%. Our critical appraisal found that oral fingolimod improved clinical outcomes. The availability of oral fingolimod in Indonesia makes it one of the options in treatment of MS relapse in Indonesia and has been demonstrated to be effective and safe with relatively small risk.

Lack of knowledge about stroke symptoms leads to delay on stroke treatment. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare clinical symptoms and risk factors between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Methods: This study was a case control study. The subjects in this study were ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients. Subjects' data were recorded in electronic stroke registry at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Results: The most common clinical symptoms in both groups were limb weakness (76.4% vs 71.4%), whereas the rarest was face drooping (2% vs 3.6%). Hypertension was the most common risk factor in both group (48% vs 71.4%), whereas atrial fibrillation was the rarest. This study did not find the specific correlation between any clinical symptoms to ischemic stroke incidence, however, decrease a level of consciousness was significant to hemorrhagic stroke incidence (OR: 2.738, 95% CI: 1.503-4.990, p: 0.001). Previous stroke (OR: 2.413, 95% CI: 1.314-4.433, p: 0.005) and dyslipidemia (OR: 4.862, 95% CI: 2.613-9.045, p: 0.000) were significant increasing risk of ischemic stroke. Hypertension was only the significant increasing risk of hemorrhagic stroke (OR: 3.680, 95% CI: 2.086-6.492, p: 0.000). Conclusion: Decrease level of consciousness has a significant correlation to hemorrhagic stroke incidence, but there is no specific symptom correlate to ischemic stroke incidence. Previous stroke and dyslipidemia are significant risk factors for ischemic stroke, whereas hypertension is the only significant risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke. Latar Belakang: Sangat penting untuk mengetahui dan mendeteksi gejala stroke dengan segera karena penanganan stroke berpacu dengan waktu. Kurangnya pengetahuan mengenai gejala stroke akan mengakibatkan keterlambatan dalam penanganan stroke. Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan gejala klinis dan faktor risiko pada pasien stroke iskemik dan stroke hemoragik. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kasus kontrol. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah pasien stroke iskemik dan stroke hemoragik yang tergister elekronik di Rumah Sakit Bethesda, Yogyakarta.

Lack of knowledge about stroke symptoms leads to delay on stroke treatment. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare clinical symptoms and risk factors between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Methods: This study was a case control study. The subjects in this study were ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients. Subjects' data were recorded in electronic stroke registry at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Results: The most common clinical symptoms in both groups were limb weakness (76.4% vs 71.4%), whereas the rarest was face drooping (2% vs 3.6%). Hypertension was the most common risk factor in both group (48% vs 71.4%), whereas atrial fibrillation was the rarest. This study did not find the specific correlation between any clinical symptoms to ischemic stroke incidence, however, decrease a level of consciousness was significant to hemorrhagic stroke incidence (OR: 2.738, 95% CI: 1.503-4.990, p: 0.001). Previous stroke (OR: 2.413, 95% CI: 1.314-4.433, p: 0.005) and dyslipidemia (OR: 4.862, 95% CI: 2.613-9.045, p: 0.000) were significant increasing risk of ischemic stroke. Hypertension was only the significant increasing risk of hemorrhagic stroke (OR: 3.680, 95% CI: 2.086-6.492, p: 0.000). Conclusion: Decrease level of consciousness has a significant correlation to hemorrhagic stroke incidence, but there is no specific symptom correlate to ischemic stroke incidence. Previous stroke and dyslipidemia are significant risk factors for ischemic stroke, whereas hypertension is the only significant risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke. Latar Belakang: Sangat penting untuk mengetahui dan mendeteksi gejala stroke dengan segera karena penanganan stroke berpacu dengan waktu. Kurangnya pengetahuan mengenai gejala stroke akan mengakibatkan keterlambatan dalam penanganan stroke. Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan gejala klinis dan faktor risiko pada pasien stroke iskemik dan stroke hemoragik. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kasus kontrol. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah pasien stroke iskemik dan stroke hemoragik yang tergister elekronik di Rumah Sakit Bethesda, Yogyakarta. Hasil: Gejala klinis yang paling sering muncul pada kedua grup adalah kelemahan anggota gerak (76.4% vs 71.4%), sedangkan gejala klinis yang paling jarang adalah wajah perot (2% vs 3.6%). Hipertensi merupakan faktor risiko stroke yang paling sering dijumpai pada kedua grup (48% vs 71.4%), sedangkan atrial fibrilasi paling jarang dijumpai. Penelitian ini tidak menemukan adanya gejala khusus yang
