Bell's palsy is a condition that causes temporary paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. It is caused by facial nerve inflammation that controls the facial muscles. The exact cause of Bell's palsy is unclear, but it is associated with viral infections such as herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, and Epstein-Barr. All genders and ages are affected with a higher risk in people with diabetes, hypertension, pregnant women, obesity, and people with upper respiratory tract infections. Potential pathogenesis includes factors related to facial nerve anatomy, viral infection, local ischemia and inflammation, cold exposure, and autoimmune response. This review aims to provide a focused understanding of the anatomy, clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, and therapy of Bell's Palsy

In Indonesia, the number of haemodialysis (HD) patients is increasing every year. In 2014, there were 17,193 new patients. This number has increased in 2015 as many as 21,050 patients and in 2016 as many as 25,446 patients. HD is a process that involves diffusion and ultrafiltration with the aim of removing certain elements from the blood by taking advantage of the difference in the rate of diffusion of blood as it passes through a semipermeable membrane. HD access is established in the arm by connecting the arm vein with the radial or ulnar artery. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the most ideal HD access, because it can be used for the long term, lower morbidity, and mortality, but complications often occur, one of which is steal syndrome. This syndrome can present with different signs and symptoms depending on the severity and duration of post-access access for renal failure patients undergoing HD therapy
