Abstract

Acute bacterial respiratory tract infections (ABRTIs) remain a significant public health concern, particularly due to increasing antibiotic resistance and the resulting decline in treatment efficacy. In response, researchers have explored adjunctive therapies, including antioxidants, to enhance antibiotic performance and reduce oxidative stress-related complications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining antibiotics with antioxidants in treating ABRTIs by employing a qualitative approach through systematic literature review and library research. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journals, scientific databases, and relevant academic publications spanning the last two decades. The findings reveal that oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the progression and severity of bacterial infections in the respiratory tract. Antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine, vitamin C, and glutathione have shown promising synergistic effects when combined with conventional antibiotics. These combinations not only improve microbial clearance but also minimize tissue damage and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the literature indicates a potential role for antioxidants in mitigating antibiotic-induced toxicity and in restoring immune balance. However, despite encouraging preclinical and limited clinical data, there remains a lack of large-scale, randomized controlled trials to confirm the therapeutic advantage of this combination. The study concludes that while the integration of antioxidants into antibiotic therapy appears promising, further empirical validation is essential. These findings highlight the importance of continued interdisciplinary research to optimize therapeutic protocols for ABRTIs.

Abstract

Desaturation during induction of general anesthesia is a significant clinical concern, leading to complications such as hypoxia and impaired organ function. Preoxygenation is a common practice aimed at increasing the oxygen reserves in the body, thereby reducing the risk of desaturation. However, the effectiveness of preoxygenation in minimizing desaturation during anesthesia induction remains a topic of debate. This study aims to investigate the effect of preoxygenation on the incidence of desaturation during the induction of general anesthesia. To determine whether preoxygenation reduces the incidence of desaturation during the induction of general anesthesia and to identify factors influencing its effectiveness. This prospective cohort study was conducted with a sample of 150 patients undergoing elective surgeries requiring general anesthesia. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the preoxygenation group, where patients received 3-5 minutes of preoxygenation with 100% oxygen via a face mask, and the control group, where patients did not undergo preoxygenation. Desaturation, defined as a drop in oxygen saturation (SpO2) below 90%, was monitored continuously during the induction phase. Data were analyzed using statistical tests to compare the incidence of desaturation between the two groups. The preoxygenation group demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of desaturation compared to the control group. The incidence of desaturation was 10% in the preoxygenation group, compared to 25% in the control group (p0.05). Furthermore, preoxygenation was particularly effective in patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and those undergoing longer surgical procedures. Preoxygenation significantly reduces the incidence of desaturation during the induction of general anesthesia, suggesting it is a valuable practice in improving patient safety. The findings support the use of preoxygenation, particularly in patients with higher BMI or those undergoing prolonged surgeries. Future studies should explore the optimal duration and method of preoxygenation to further enhance its effectiveness.

Abstract

Introduction: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation during general anesthesia can elicit sympathetic responses, including elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Fentanyl and oxycodone are opioids used for anesthesia co-induction to attenuate this response. This study aims to compare the co-induction effects of fentanyl and oxycodone on anesthesia depth and hemodynamic stability. Methods: This was a prospective observational study involving 40 adult patients with ASA I–II status undergoing general anesthesia at RSUP Prof. Ngoerah Denpasar. Subjects were randomized into two groups: fentanyl 2 µg/kg BW and oxycodone 0.2 mg/kg BW. All patients underwent standard induction protocols. The depth of anesthesia was assessed using the CONOX monitor (qCON), while hemodynamic status was evaluated through blood pressure, heart rate, and stroke volume via USCOM. Data were analyzed using t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests with significance set at p<0.05. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in mean arterial pressure or heart rate between the groups (p>0.05), indicating similar hemodynamic responses. However, stroke volume reduction after intubation was significantly less in the oxycodone group (median ΔSV 3 vs 11.5; p<0.001). Additionally, qCON values showed better anesthesia depth with oxycodone (51.0 ± 5.8 vs 60.5 ± 7.5; p<0.001). Conclusion: Oxycodone co-induction results in better anesthesia depth and equal or superior hemodynamic stability compared to fentanyl. Oxycodone may be considered an effective alternative for co-induction in general anesthesia.

Abstract

Obesity is a condition where a person's body exceeds normal weight due to the accumulation of excess body fat tissue. Obesity is caused by the amount of energy released by the body being less than the amount of food ingested. Someone who is obese can easily be measured using BMI. A person who has a BMI > 25.0 can be said to be overweight or obese (Nandar et al., 2019) in the journal Annurullah 2021. This literature aims to review the literature regarding the relationship between obesity and individual lifestyle patterns using a comparison of the best methods. The method used in this journal is by taking samples obtained from the BMI value index and using qualitative statistical methods. The resulting review of journal literature shows that obesity has a significant negative effect on exercise, physical activity and diet. Meanwhile, obesity has a significant positive effect on anxiety levels. It can be concluded that obesity is an abnormal condition in fat that can cause more serious health problems. Understanding the relationship between obesity and the factors that cause it really needs to be studied in more depth. In this journal method, it can be concluded that obesity has a positive and significant effect on exercise, physical activity and healthy diet, which means that the higher the physical activity, exercise and healthy diet, the lower the level of obesity.
