Abstract

Introduction: The Asthma Control Test (ACT), developed in 2004, is a crucial tool for assessing asthma control. It facilitates discussions between patients and healthcare providers, guiding treatment decisions based on symptom severity. ACT evaluates symptoms over the past four weeks, while pulmonary function tests like forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) provide objective measures of airway function, offering complementary insights. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Prof. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis USU Hospital. Asthma patients were recruited, their characteristics documented through interviews, and spirometry was performed to assess lung function. Results: A significant proportion of patients had uncontrolled asthma based on ACT scores, which correlated with decreased lung function and higher risks of exacerbations. The study also explored characteristics of lung adenocarcinoma patients. Most were male (76.4%), heavy smokers (70.6%), and aged over 60 (52.9%). A majority (70.6%) were at Stage IVA, with pleural metastases being the most common. ALK mutations were detected in 5.8% of cases using immunohistochemistry. Conclusion: Achieving optimal asthma control remains a priority to reduce exacerbation risks and improve outcomes. ACT is a practical, patient-centered tool for identifying uncontrolled asthma and guiding management strategies. The adenocarcinoma findings highlight the need for early detection and targeted therapies in lung cancer care. These results reinforce the value of combining patient-reported outcomes and objective tests in disease management.

Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects millions globally. Effective asthma therapy is essential for improving pulmonary function and achieving asthma control. However, many patients remain uncontrolled despite treatment. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between asthma therapy types, pulmonary function, and asthma control in primary healthcare facilities in Medan. Method: This retrospective descriptive study utilized medical records of asthma patients from May 2022 to May 2023 at several primary healthcare centers in Medan. Data collected included demographic characteristics, asthma therapy types (inhaler vs. inhaler + oral), pulmonary function (APE prediction), and asthma control levels. Chi-Square tests were performed to assess statistical associations. Results: The study found that most asthma patients were female (83.3%) and over 50 years old (62.5%). Regarding pulmonary function, 73.0% of patients had an APE prediction of ≥60%, indicating relatively good lung function. However, asthma control remained poor, with 68.8% of patients classified as uncontrolled. The majority of patients (68.8%) used inhalers as their primary therapy, while 31.2% received a combination of inhaler and oral medication. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between the type of asthma therapy and pulmonary function (p = 1.000), nor between the type of therapy and asthma control level (p = 0.067). Conclusion: The study found no significant relationship between asthma therapy type, pulmonary function, and asthma control level. These findings suggest that other factors, such as therapy adherence, proper inhaler technique, and medication adjustments, may contribute to asthma control.

Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic airway disease where achieving and maintaining asthma control is the main goal of management. Effective asthma control requires good patient self-management, including the ability to recognize symptoms and take appropriate action. This study aimed to assess the effect of digital education through the Paru Sehat smartphone application on asthma control levels in patients at the Outpatient Clinic of the University of North Sumatra Hospital, Medan. Method:This study used a quasi-experimental within-subject (pre-post) design. Asthma control levels were measured using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) before and after the use of the Paru Sehat application. Data analysis was conducted using a paired t-test for normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon test for non-normal data. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Before the intervention, 56% of patients had partially controlled asthma, 40% were uncontrolled, and only 4% were fully controlled. After using the Paru Sehat application, the proportion of fully controlled patients increased to 20%, partially controlled decreased to 48%, and uncontrolled cases reduced to 32%. However, this improvement was not statistically significant (p = 0.058). Conclusion: The use of the Paru Sehat application showed a trend toward improved asthma control, but the change was not statistically significant. Further research with a larger sample size and longer intervention duration may be needed to determine its effectiveness.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 disease has become a comprehensive world issue and has been declared a significant threat to global health. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important inflammatory marker and one of the triggers of the cytokine storm in COVID-19, where increased levels can be an independent predictor of COVID-19 mortality. This study aimed to observe the effect of upper arm and breathing exercises on IL-6 levels in severe COVID-19 patients. Methods: The study design was quasi-experimental, with blood tests conducted before and after the examination. A total of 20 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were involved, divided into intervention and control groups. Results: Blood tests to determine baseline IL-6 levels were performed in all patients. Patients from the intervention group were given upper arm and breathing exercises for ten days, twice a day, via video tutorials on mobile phones, while patients from the control group did not receive any exercises. Patients from the intervention group obtained mean pre- and post-exercise IL-6 levels of 42.38 ± 48.48 and 16.78 ± 18.29, respectively (p = 0.005). Conclusion: Upper arm and breathing exercises showed significant changes in IL-6 levels in severe COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a global impact on health and increases healthcare costs. Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) combines interstitial lung disease (ILD) and emphysema. Excessive short-acting β2-agonist (SABA) usage escalates exacerbation risk, affecting prognosis. Case: A 44-year-old former smoker presented with worsening shortness of breath, cough, and weight loss. Examination showed respiratory distress, including wheezing. Initially, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) and COPD exacerbation. He regularly used jet nebulizers without medical supervision, and during the initial treatment, he developed acute respiratory failure, leading to acidosis. Treatment involved SABA and short-acting muscarinic-antagonist (SAMA), steroids, and oxygen therapy. In November 2023, his condition worsened, requiring emergency treatment. Radiological findings indicated CPFE. Management included nebulized medications, intravenous steroids, and antibiotics. Despite challenges, he rarely attended follow-up appointments after showing improvement, missing scheduled rehabilitation therapy, inhaler monitoring, comorbid therapy, and home oxygen monitoring. Conclusion: Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema combines ILD and emphysema, causing severe respiratory impairment. Management mirrors that of COPD, involving inhalers, corticosteroids, and oxygen therapy.

Abstract

Background: The term pneumomediastinum (PNM) refers to the presence of air within the mediastinal cavity. This illness is uncommon but can arise in adolescents with severe asthma attacks. In children aged 5 to 34, the incidence of pneumomediastinum after an acute asthma attack is 1 in 25,000. Men made up the majority of patients (76 percent of all cases). Pneumomediastinum can be diagnosed with the assistance of a chest CT scan. Case: A young man was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum due to an acute asthma attack in this case report. Symptoms of uncontrolled asthma include shortness of breath that worsens with wheezing, chest tightness, and a nonproductive cough. Since the age of 12, the patient in this instance has been receiving salbutamol inhalers. The physical examination revealed polyphonic lung respiration and subcutaneous crepitus in the neck, shoulders, and anterior chest. With adequate management of an asthma episode, pneumomediastinum recovers spontaneously, followed by recurrent symptomatic status, physical examination, and radiography examination. Discussion: Acute asthma exacerbations are one of the factors that can lead to spontaneous pneumomediastinum, in which mediastinal air can permeate the tissue and generate a pneumothorax, and if there is air in the subcutaneous area, it can lead to subcutaneous emphysema. Conclusion: Pneumomediastinum was a rare incidence, pulmonologists examining young adults with acute asthma exacerbations should evaluate for pneumomediastinum. In usual asthma therapy, a chest CT-scan is essential to screen for pneumomediastinum.
