Abstract

Pleural Effusion and Pneumothorax are pleural cavity disorders that can cause respiratory impairment and decreased lung function. Pleural effusion occurs due to the accumulation of fluid within the pleural cavity and may be caused by heart failure, infection, malignancy, or other systemic diseases. Meanwhile, pneumothorax is a condition characterized by the presence of air in the pleural space leading to partial or complete lung collapse, and it may occur spontaneously, traumatically, or iatrogenically. Clinical manifestations of both conditions include shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and decreased breath sounds on the affected side. Diagnosis is established through history taking, physical examination, and supporting investigations such as chest radiography, ultrasonography, or thoracic CT scan. Management depends on the underlying cause and severity of the disease, ranging from observation and medical therapy to thoracentesis, chest tube insertion, and surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among the productive-age population. TBI occurs as a result of external mechanical forces that lead to structural and functional disturbances of the brain. The impact of traumatic brain injury is not limited to the acute phase but may also result in long-term neurological impairment. This article aims to discuss traumatic brain injury based on journal reading of the literature used in the source paper, including its definition, mechanisms of injury, pathophysiology, and diagnostic approaches. The writing method employed is a literature-based journal reading. The results of the review indicate that primary and secondary injuries play an important role in determining clinical outcomes, and that neuroimaging examinations are essential in the diagnosis and evaluation of traumatic brain injury.
