Abstract

Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal mucosa that occurs due to bacterial, viral, fungal infections, allergens, or autoimmune conditions with signs and symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, facial pain, and decreased olfactory ability, with causes such as host factors that are divided into systemic and local (such as anatomical abnormalities) as well as environmental factors such as viral or bacterial infections and allergen exposure. Anatomical variations in the sinonasal area can cause impaired drainage and ventilation to obstruction of the osteomeatal complex which ultimately causes and even exacerbates inflammation of the sinus mucosa, examples of anatomical variations such as septal deviation, agger nasi cells, concha bullosa, haller cells, onodi cells, and others, with the radiological modality widely used is CT - Scan. This study aimed to identify anatomical variations in rhinosinusitis cases based on CT scan examination results. This study is descriptive and uses a total sampling technique. A total of 53 samples were taken, with rhinosinusitis as the main diagnosis. Subsequently, a frequency distribution test was conducted. It was found that 45 samples had no anatomical variation and eight samples had anatomical variations in the form of septal deviation. The results showed that the anatomical variation found in rhinosinusitis patients at RSUD Dr. Pirngadi had a septal deviation of as many as eight samples (15.1%).

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern. Chest radiography is an essential tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of TB treatment. This retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze changes in chest radiographic findings among TB patients before and after treatment at Royal Prima Hospital. The study included 30 patients with TB who underwent repeated chest radiography between May 2023 and May 2024. Patient data were collected from the medical records. Descriptive analysis and the chi-square test were used to compare changes in radiographic findings between the treatment and non-treatment groups. Of the 30 patients, 15 (50%) showed positive changes on post-treatment radiographs, while the remaining 15 (50%) did not. The Chi-Square test revealed a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the two groups. Patients who received treatment had four-fold higher odds of experiencing radiographic changes than those who did not. These findings align with those of previous research demonstrating the efficacy of TB treatment in the repair of lung damage. Positive changes in post-treatment radiographs indicated that the treatment effectively suppressed Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth and facilitated lung tissue repair. Pulmonary TB treatment exerts a significant impact on changes in chest radiographic findings. This study underscores the importance of adequate TB treatment to achieve cure and prevent complications.
