Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide associated with excessive chronic inflammatory response. Guided imagery is a relaxation technique to achieve the desired positive outcome. This study analyzed the effectiveness of guided imagery in stable COPD patients on the value of % FEV1, absolute neutrophils, anxiety, and the standard of living in those with steady COPD.Methods: Experimental analytic research with quasi-experimental, pretest and post-test design. Subjects were outpatient stable COPD patients at the pulmonary polyclinic of UNS Surakarta Hospital in January-June 2022. Subjects were divided into guided imagery intervention groups for 4 weeks and controls. Subjects were then examined for %FEV1 by spirometry, absolute neutrophils, Taylor Minnesota Anxiety Scale (TMAS) questionnaire, and St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) quality of life questionnaire, and re-evaluated after four weeks.Results: There were 32 research subjects. The findings demonstrated that the therapy group did not endure a significant increase in the mean value of %FEV1 (P=0.617). Meanwhile, the mean value of %FEV1 significantly decreased in the control group (P=0.025), given that the control group's value of % FEV1 fell. In contrast, the treatment group's increased, even if the difference was not statistically significant, the use of guided imagery could effectively halt the decline in %FEV1 value. Compared to the control group (P=0.014), the TMAS anxiety score was lower in the treatment group (P≤0.001). The overall SGRQ score (quality of life) considerably decreased in the treatment group (P≤0.001) while significantly increasing in the control group (P=0.014). Absolute neutrophils were found in both the treatment group and the control group (P=0.642; P=0.224, respectively). Absolute neutrophil blood levels in the treatment and control groups did not differ significantly.Conclusion: Guided imagery is effective on %FEV1 values, anxiety, and quality of life in stable COPD patients but not against absolute neutrophils.

Abstract

bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, with high mortality and morbidity rates. The examination of IL-6 and neutrophils helps in diagnosis as a marker of inflammation, a predictor of mortality and morbidity, and is useful in evaluating the outcome of treatment. Garlic and its organosulfur content possess anti-inflammatory activity that has the potential to be used as additional therapy in pneumonia patients.Methods: A clinical study with a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was conducted on pneumonia patients who were hospitalized at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta from August to October 2022 by consecutive sampling. The treatment group (n=20) received standard therapy plus 3.5 mg of garlic capsules per day for 6 days, while the control group (n=20) received standard therapy. Levels of IL-6 and neutrophil were calculated on the first and sixth days, while the length of hospitalization was calculated from when the patient was admitted until discharge.Results: There was a significant IL-6 difference in the treatment group (P=0.027) and a neutrophil difference in the treatment group (P=0.025) compared to the control group, but there was no significant difference (P=0.876) in the length of stay in the treatment group compared to the control group.Conclusion: Giving garlic as a supplemental therapy to pneumonia patients could significantly reduce IL-6 and neutrophil levels.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Exposure to cigarette smoke activates alveolar macrophages producing neutrophils and proteases such as MMP-9 and NE that damage the extracellular matrix triggering emphysema as well as spill over into the systemic circulation. This study aimed to determine the correlation of serum MMP-9 level and blood absolute neutrophil count with diffusion capacity and exercise capacity of stable COPD patients.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in stable COPD patients visiting the pulmonary outpatient clinic of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Hospital in October 2022. Consecutive sampling was applied for sample collection. We assessed diffusion capacity and exercise capacity with the DLCO method and 6MWT, respectively. We examined serum MMP-9 level and blood absolute neutrophil count. All data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and P<0.05 was considered significant.Results: Thirty stable COPD patients were included in the study comprising 19 males (63.3%), and 11 females (36.7%). With a mean age of 61.90±9.99. Serum MMP-9 level did not correlate with either diffusion capacity and blood absolute neutrophil count (P=0.898 and P=0.589, respectively). However, serum MMP-9 level had a significant correlation with exercise capacity (P=0.014). There was no correlation between blood absolute neutrophil count with diffusion capacity and exercise capacity (P=0.0281 and P=0.592, respectively). Diffusion capacity related to exercise capacity (P=0.001).Conclusion: Serum MMP-9 level is not related to diffusion capacity, but it is related to exercise capacity. Blood absolute neutrophil count is not related to diffusion capacity or exercise capacity. Serum MMP-9 level is not associated with blood absolute neutrophil count. Diffusion capacity is related to exercise capacity.

Abstract

Background: Lung cancer reduces lung function, muscle mass, and psychological well-being, which lowers exercise capacity and quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation, such as aerobic exercise, can improve exercise capacity and the quality of life (QoL) in lung cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the influence of aerobic exercise on the six-minute walking test (6MWT) and the quality of life of lung cancer patients. Methods: A clinical trial with a quasi-experimental, pretest, and post-test design was conducted on stage ≥IVa adenocarcinoma lung cancer patients who were receiving outpatient targeted therapy at the pulmonary clinic of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital for ≥1 month starting from May 2023, until the required sample size was met. The 6MWT and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) were measured at the baseline and eight weeks ±2 weeks after aerobic exercise by walking about 15-20 minutes and breathing exercises. Results: The study included fourteen patients in the control group and fifteen patients in the aerobic group. The mean difference of 6MWT between the control and the aerobic group was 38.33 m. Functional, lung cancer subscale (LCS), total, and TOI in FACT-L showed significant differences in the increment pre-test and post-test between the control and aerobic group (P<0.05), with significant differences in pre-test and post-test of most categories in both groups, except for social. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise, psychological support, and nutrition have significantly improved the 6MWT and quality of life in lung cancer patients.

Abstract

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a respiratory infectious disease caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Procalcitonin (PCT) levels will rise, especially in bacterial infection. PCT examination in CAP can help to confirm the diagnosis and anticipate complications. CAP is diagnosed by symptoms, vital signs, laboratory tests, and radiographic investigations. Inflammatory biomarkers are required for predicting causative microorganisms, guiding antibiotic therapy, and determining severity. The purpose of this study is to compare NLR, WBC, and TNF-α levels in CAP patients dependent on PCT level.Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study involving 43 CAP patients admitted to Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Hospital and Moewardi Regional General Hospital Surakarta between February and March 2023. Patients were separated into two groups based on PCT levels: those with levels ≤0.12 ng/mL and >0.12 ng/mL. All patients provided a blood sample for NLR, WBC, TNF-α, and PCT testing. The independent t-test and Mann-Whitney tests were performed for statistical analysis of two unpaired groups, and the Chi-square or Fisher exact test was utilized for ordinal categorical data. If the value of P<0.05, the result is statistically significant.Results: NLR and TNF-α levels were higher in the PCT group >0.12 ng/mL and statistically significant with a value of P=0.001. WBC levels in the PCT group >0.12 ng/mL were higher, but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.096).Conclusion: The NLR value, WBC, and TNF-α levels were found to be higher in the group with PCT >0.12 ng/mL.
