Abstract

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease and is one of the ten leading causes of death in the world. Abnormalities in the hematology system, such as anemia, become one of the complications due to tuberculosis infection. The erythrocyte index becomes a benchmark for determining anemia based on its size and appearance. In tuberculosis patients, tuberculosis lesions can be seen in a thorax radiography examination. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the erythrocyte index and the extent of tuberculosis lesions in thorax radiography. This study was an observational study using the cross-sectional method by taking 61 samples of patients' medical records in Saiful Anwar Hospital, which was conducted from January 2022 to December 2023. In this study, data obtained that MCV, MCH, and MCHC, which included in erythrocyte index value, did not have a correlation with the extent of tuberculosis lesion (p=0.656, p=0.484 and p=0.953, respectively, using Kruskal Wallis method). This could occur because tuberculosis patients only experienced anemia with a reduced number of erythrocytes without affecting their size and appearance. The conclusion of this study is that the erythrocyte index does not have a correlation with the extent of tuberculosis lesions.

Abstract

Introduction: Since a single pulmonary nodule (SPN) usually doesn't cause any respiratory symptoms, it is frequently found by accident. On a chest X-ray, the incidence of SPN is 0.1-0.2%, and on a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the thorax, it is 13%. In populations at high risk, the incidence rises to 9–33%. Contrast-enhanced CT scans are essential for early detection in order to assess and choose a course of treatment. About 40–50% of SPNs are malignant, with adenocarcinoma being the most prevalent subtype, making for 47% of all instances of lung cancer. Surgical intervention is advised in the early stages. Case Report: A 62-year-old nonsmoker arrived with haemoptysis and a persistent cough. A contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a solid lesion of 2.8 cm x 2.7 cm x 2.4 cm, classified as stage IA. A chest X-ray revealed a tiny mass measuring 1.5 cm x 1 cm. Following a lobectomy, the patient's pathology revealed Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), specifically adenocarcinoma. To rule out organ metastases, immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays were used. Conclusion: Lobectomy for SPN adenocarcinoma stage IA improves lung function and quality of life at one and three months post-surgery.

Abstract

Introduction : Chylothorax is an uncommon medical condition caused by the accumulation of chylous fluid in the pleural space. Chylothorax has no predilection for sex or age. The prevalence after various cardiothoracic surgeries is 0.2% to 1%. Mortality and morbidity rates are around 10%. Respiratory distress may occur due to compression of the lung by the accumulated fluid. Management and approaches to treating the condition require multidisciplinary therapy, starting from non-pharmacological, pharmacological, to interventional management. Case Report : A 57-year-old Man patient was referred to the emergency room with chief complaint of shortness of breath. Reduced breathing sound on both lung fields. No previous history of cancer or thoracic surgery were found. X-ray examination had found bilateral pleural effusion. Thoracocentesis and pleural fluid analysis was performed with total of 6800 cc serosanguinous, whitish fluid was extracted from both of the lung. The patient was diagnosed with chylothorax. Lymphangiography and embolization was performed on the leak on left thoracic duct (T10) from right lymph node. Antibiotic was also given to treat the community acquired pneumonia that could be one of the possible etiology on this patient. Dietary modification with low fat diet and Ocreotide was also given to this patient as one of the treatment modalities. Discussion : The diagnosis of Chylothorax on this patient was established based on pleural fluid analysis and evidenced by lymphangiography examination by the presence of a leak in the thoracic lymphatic duct. Various modalities to  diagnose this condition have been carried out with inconclusive results. Non-pharmacological, pharmacological and radiological interventions with embolization through lymphangiography are proven to be able to stop leaks and reduce symptoms in this patient. Conclusion : Chyle leak to the pleural space may compress the lung and cause respiratory distress. Combinaton of thoracocentesis, embolization of the leakage, dietary intake modification and administration of ocreotide may help prevent further chylous fluid accumulation.
