Example of Research Article Abstract
Introduction : Post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a frequently occurring and serious post-surgical complication that may adversely affect quality of life and increase the burden of healthcare of the patient. The aim of this study was to observe the incidence of POCD on patients undergoing elective surgery in GBPT RSU dr. Sutomo and analyze the associated risks for such condition.
Methods: The study consisted of 50 patients aged >40 years that had received elective surgery for more than 2 hours in duration. Several cognitive assessment tests were performed pre-operatively and 7 days after surgery. Attention and memory were assessed. Possible risk factors for POCD were age, education, and duration of surgery.
Results: The study found impairment of attention, memory, and POCD 7 days after surgery were 30%, 36%, and 52%, respectively. Cognitive tests with significant reduction of scores were repetition test, immediate recall, and paired associate learning. Logistic regression analyses found that age (p = 0.798),aw education (p = 0.921), and surgery duration (p = 0.811) was not significantly correlated with the incidence of POCD. In subgroup analyses (age group), higher percentage of POCD occurred on patients aged ≥50 years, received education for ≤6 years, and surgery duration of ≥180 minutes.
Conclusion: The incidence of cognitive dysfunction in patients receiving elective surgery in GBPT RSU dr. Sutomo were relatively high. Age, education, and surgery duration may be associated with incidence of POCD, although the association was not statistically significant.
Key words: general anesthesia, attention, post-operative cognition, memory

Abstract
Meningoencephaloceles are very rare congenital malformations in the world that have a high incidence in the population of Southeast Asia, include in Indonesia. Children with anterior meningoencephaloceles should have surgical correction as early as possible because of the facial dysmorphia, impairment of binocular vision, increasing size of the meningoencephalocele caused by increasing brainprolapse, and risk of infection of the central nervous system. In the report, we presented a case of a 9 months-old baby girl with naso-frontal encephalocele and hydrocephalus non communicant, posted for VP shunt (ventriculo-peritoneal shunt) and cele excision. Becaused of the mass, nasofrontal or frontoethmoidal and occipital meningoencephalocele leads the anesthetist to problems since the anesthesia during the operation until post operative care. Anesthetic challenges in management of meningoencephalocele, which most of the patients are children, include securing the airway with intubation with the mass in nasofrontal or nasoethmoidal with its associated complications and accurate assessment of blood loss and prevention of hypothermia
Key words: Anesthesia, difficult ventilation, difficult intubation, naso-frontal, meningoencephalocele, pediatrics

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a frightening disease with an equally low survival rate, with only 30% of patients survived 6 months after the stroke. The main etiology of intracranial bleeding are subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from aneurysms, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or intracerebral bleeding. The incidence of intracerebral bleeding is frequently associated with hypertension, use of anticoagulant drugs or other coagulopathies, drug and/or alcohol addiction, neoplasms or amyloid angiopathy. The mortality rate in first 30 days is 50%. Hemorrhagic strokes frequently have worse outcomes compared to ischemic stroke, with the latter mortality rate was 10 – 30% in comparison with the former. Hemorrhagic stroke is characterized with severe headache, projectile vomiting, seizures, and wider range of focal neurologic deficits. Hematoma may cause lethargy, stupor, and coma. Neurologic deficit may occur from the onset of headache until coma. Early management is focused on: 1) hemodynamic and cardiac management, 2) airway and ventilation, 3) evaluation of neurologic function and need for monitoring of intracranial pressure or ventricular drainage or both.
Key words: intracranial bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke.
After the abstract, key words (about 3 – 5) are listed in alphabetical order.
