Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge about the dangers of smoking and smoking behavior and exposure to cigarette smoke in high school students. This quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional design involved 114 students from one Malang Senior High School, with sampling using a simple random sampling method. Using a CO analyzer, data was collected through questionnaires to measure students' knowledge levels and measurements of carbon monoxide (CO) in breathing air. The study results showed that 62% of the respondents were women and 38% were men, with an average age of 16.8 years. As many as 80% of students do not smoke, while the other 20% are active smokers. The average CO level of the students' breath air was 3.34 PPM, with active smokers showing significantly higher CO levels (7.74 PPM) compared to passive smokers (2.06 PPM) and non-smoking students (2.61 PPM). The ANOVA statistical test showed a significant difference in CO levels between groups (p < 0.05). Although the level of students' knowledge about the dangers of smoking was relatively high (average pretest 124), no significant relationship was found between knowledge and smoking behavior (p = 0.802). The study concluded that although knowledge about the dangers of smoking is moderate, smoking behavior among male students remains high, suggesting the need for more in-depth interventions to address the social and psychological factors that support smoking behavior.

Abstract

Background: Leptomeningeal disease occurs in 3-5% of patients with lung cancer, mainly adenocarcinoma subtype. Adenocarcinoma is the most common histological finding in Asian women. Case: A 51-year-old woman with right-sided bronchogenic adenocarcinoma T4N3M1c Std IVB mutation(+) developed decreased vision, severe bilateral sensorineural deafness and psychiatric disorders after receiving Gefitinib 15 months. There was no evidence of brain metastasis from brain MRI. From evaluation of chest CT-scan, we found the disease was progressive and no Mutation Detected from ctDNA, so Gefitinib was discontinued. Conclusion: We found some difficulties in evaluating side effects of therapy and disease progression due to patient's condition in the form of decreased total vision, severe sensorineural deafness, and psychiatric disorders. However, because no radiological evidence of brain metastases was found, we suspect this patient suffered from leptomeningeal disease.
