Abstract

Introduction: People with tuberculosis (TB) have an increased risk of pulmonary cancer. They are also disproportionately affected by risk factors like immune suppression, smoking, and alcohol misuse. A lung tumor is reported to have occurred after an episode of TB, but we reported a patient with a lung tumor with co-infection TB and lung abscess at the same time. Case: A 73-year-old man was hospitalized at Arifin Achmad General Hospital, Pekanbaru, with a 3-day history of bloody cough 2-3 times a day, 1-2 tablespoons estimated by the patient for blood from the cough. The patient had a cough with white phlegm in the last 4 months before the bloody cough. The patient also had a fever, night sweats, a limp body, decreased appetite for 6 months, and decreased body weight by 15 kg in the last year. Heterogenic consolidation on the superior lobe of the lung with prominence compression and irregular boundaries in the apex was found. We found an air bronchogram and multiple cavities with air-fluid levels inside the lesion. We also found a satellite nodule in the inferior lung and a mass connected with the chest wall. GeneXpert showed low detection for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was diagnosed with a left lung abscess, pulmonary TB, left lung tumor T4N2M1a, unspecified type of tumor stage IVA PS2, and osteoporosis. Conclusion: Lung tumors could also be diagnosed with co-infection TB. Proper diagnosis to make sure cancer and TB are co-infected is necessary. Therefore, it will not be just a single disease that is treated.

Abstract

Introduction: Smoking remains a pervasive and persistent health issue in Indonesia. Numerous studies have explored the impact of smoking and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels on college students. However, none have been conducted in Indonesia. With a substantial number of smokers and teenage smokers in the country, there is a critical need to understand the implications of smoking. This study aimed to enhance the comprehension of the motivations behind smoking habits and, consequently, to devise more effective smoking cessation programs. It specifically sought to elucidate the relationship between smoking habits and exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels among college students and to explore the reasons why students smoke. Methods: This study employed analytical and descriptive cross-sectional approaches. We interviewed 124 participants, 30 of whom were randomly selected for FeNO-level testing. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 20.1 ± 1.54 years. Of these, 48 (38.7%) were enrolled in science and technology programs and 76 (61.3%) in social sciences. The Brinkman index predominantly indicated a mild level of smoking (96.8%), with a moderate level observed in 3.2% of the subjects. The median FeNO level was 12 ppb. According to the Horn questionnaire, the most cited reasons for smoking were pleasure (71%), followed by stress relief (66.1%) and stimulation (38.7%). No significant correlation was found between the Brinkman index and FeNO levels. Conclusion: The primary factors influencing smoking habits among the subjects were stress relief and the pleasure derived from smoking. No correlation was observed between smoking habits and exhaled NO levels.
