Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the diseases which the highest incidence and mortality in the world. Lung cancer consists of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with various subtypes. Diabetes mellitus is one of the comorbidities that is often found in lung cancer patients, which is around 6% - 18% in lung cancer patients. Diabetes is a comorbidity factor that has a serious effect in increasing cancer cell progressivity through the activity of insulin growth factor (IGF) which consists of receptors (IGF-R) and binding proteins (IGFP). The role of IGF produces oncogenic mutations at the DNA level with the process of lung cancer immunity stimulates mitogenesis initiated by insulin and initiates neoplasm cells. IGF receptor mechanism has antineoplastic properties, to fulfill glycemia control that will reduce lung cancer progressivity and prevent clinical worsening so that it can help reduce lung cancer mortality with oral hypoglycemia drugs along with lung cancer therapy modalities such as cytotoxic agents, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery. The role of IGF is to amplify insulin levels in glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism. IGF can induce cell differentiation and initiation of neoplasm. Diabetes mellitus as a comorbidity can poor clinical outcomes and promote progression through IGF receptor activation in the tumorigenesis process.

Abstract

An accurate and timely identification of causative microorganisms as well as determination of their antibiotic susceptibility patterns will help in the selection of proper antibiotics and prevention of their misuse in pneumonia patients. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated from endotracheal aspirates of ventilator-assisted pneumonia patients in Indonesia. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, a provincial reference hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, from January to December 2021. Ventilator-assisted pneumonia patients aged ≥17 years treated in the hospital were considered eligible. Antibiotic susceptibility was valuated using Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion followed with VITEK 2 Compact. We included 57 patients of which 73.7% males and 26.3% aged 56–65 years (represent the majority group of the patients). Each patient reported at least one comorbidity and the average duration of receiving mechanical ventilation was 8.68 days, and more than half (59.7%) of the patients had a poor clinical outcome (died). A total 57 bacteria isolates (consisting nine species) were recovered; 68.5% Gram-negative and 31.5% Gram-positive bacteria. Among 57 patients, Acinetobacter baumannii was the most frequent isolated Gram-negative bacteria (19.3%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15.8%), and Achromobacter denitrificans (12.3%). A. baumannii exhibited <70% sensitivity to aminoglycoside and carbapenem antibiotics and 100% resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. The most abundant Gram-positive bacteria was Staphylococcus aureus (17.5%), followed by S. haemolyticus (10.5%) and S. epidermidis (3.5%). All S. aureus were sensitive to linezolid, tigecycline, vancomycin, and macrolide antibiotics (azithromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin, and erythromycin), whereas 50% were sensitive to some beta-lactams. However, 50% of S. aureus were methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Given the magnitude of multi-drug resistance, an empiric antimicrobial therapy in particular to specific settings and implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs are crucial.

Abstract

Background: Brick craftsmen are heavily exposed to particulate matter (PM) from brick burning, possibly contributing to respiratory complaints. The research aims to evaluate the association between PM levels, duration of exposure, respiratory complaints, and lung function disorders among brick craftsmen in Aceh Besar. Method: The research method is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. It was conducted in September 2023 on 68 respondents to assess lung function using spirometry and PM levels using the Air Quality Monitor. Results: The data analysis revealed restrictive types of lung function disorders (47.1%), 75% of participants had worked for more than three years with working hours ≥8 hours/day (100%), the most frequent respiratory complaint was coughing (23.5%) and shortness of breath (13.2%), and the dominant type of work was brick molding (67.6%) rather than burning (32.4%). The PM2.5 index in the brick manufacturing area is classified as very dangerous (100%), while the PM10 index is identified as very unsafe (55.6%) and very dangerous (44.4%). The correlation analysis revealed a significant connection between PM2.5 as well as PM10 and lung function impairments (values of P=0.002 and 0.012, respectively). There was a significant correlation between work periods and lung function impairments (P=0.037). Multivariate analysis showed that a working term of 1-3 years was strongly linked with lung function disorder (FEV1) among brick craftsmen in Aceh Besar (P=0.026). Conclusion: This study showed that PM exposure was significantly associated with impaired lung function but not with respiratory complaints. Furthermore, a long working period is significantly associated with respiratory symptoms, especially for workers with 1-3 years, and is associated with impaired lung function in brick artisans in Aceh Besar.

Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in both men and women. Lung cancer is generally divided into 2, categories: small-cell lung carcinoma and non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) represents approximately 15% of all lung cancers. Paraneoplastic syndromes occur in 10% of lung cancer cases and constitute a group of disorders associated with the secretion of functional polypeptides or hormones from tumor cells. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone is a paraneoplastic syndrome that is closely related to SCLC and is associated with worse survival. The key to understanding SIADH is that the hyponatremia that occurs in this syndrome is not caused by Na+ deficiency but rather by excess fluid. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone that occurs is a secondary event caused by the release of antidiuretic hormone due to tumor lysis or because the tumor releases ectopic ADH. Hyponatremia in SCLC is a negative prognostic factor in hospitalized patients and patients with advanced disease

Abstract

Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the types of malignancies that is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In Indonesia, the incidence of lung cancer is quite high, with pulmonary TB as a risk factor that can increase the risk of lung cancer in the future. This study aims to describe the histopathological profile and radiological picture of lung cancer patients in patients with and without a history of pulmonary TB at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital Banda Aceh. Methods: This study uses retrospective methods and univariate analysis. The subjects of this study are lung cancer patients at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Result: The results of this study showed that of the 184 patients, 6.5% of them had lung cancer with a history of pulmonary TB, while the other 93.5% had lung cancer without a history of pulmonary TB. Of the two groups of lung cancer, the majority of patients were aged 51-60 years (32.6%), male (83.7%), still working (81%), from Aceh (99.5%), and Muslim (99.5%). Most lung cancer patients were diagnosed at stage IV (86.4%), with Squamous Cell Carcinoma being the most common type of histopathology (57.1%). In lung cancer patients with a history of pulmonary TB, post-TB lesions are often found, such as fibrosis (83.3%), calcification (50%), cavitation (33.3%), pleural thickening (16.7%), and atelectasis (8.3%). Conclusion: Efforts to prevent lung cancer, especially in patients with a history of pulmonary TB, need to be continued so that the risk of developing lung cancer can be reduced.
