The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of gender on characteristics of lung cancer at Dr. M Djamil Hospital, Padang.Methods: A retrospective analytic study of lung cancer patients treated in the Pulmonary Ward of Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2017, with recognized cancer cell types. Data were grouped according to gender.Results: This study found that 451 lung cancer patients, male-dominant 77.8%. Female were younger than male (52.97 ± 12.79 years vs. 57.81 ± 11.23 years; p = 0.00). Most of male (94.5%) were smokers and former smokers, while 93.9% of female were non-smokers (p = 0.00). Most female were having prior history of tuberculosis (TB) (21.2% vs 11.0%; p = 0.008) and also prior history of other organs cancer (10.1% vs 3.4%; p = 0.007) than in male. Squamous cells were highest in males (41.1%), while females had adenocarcinoma (55.0%); with p = 0.008. Advanced stage in female more than male (91.8% vs 82.7%; p = 0.027). The mean life expectancy of female was longer than male, respectively 8.74 ± 1.56 and 7.29 ± 0.64 months; (p = 0.95).  Conclusion: There are differences in the epidemiology of lung cancer between male and female in Dr. M.

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.
