Abstract

Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory condition marked by irreversible dilation of the bronchi, leading to persistent cough and excessive sputum production. This study aims to describe the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management strategies of bronchiectasis, with emphasis on current approaches relevant to the Indonesian context. A narrative literature review was conducted using national and international sources. Key clinical and radiological findings, treatment modalities, and prognosis indicators were summarized, with reference to validated scoring systems such as FACED and Bronchiectasis Severity Index (BSI). Bronchiectasis is most prevalent among women and the elderly. Common etiologies include post-infectious lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and chronic inflammation. HRCT is the gold standard for diagnosis. Management focuses on airway clearance, antibiotic therapy, and reducing exacerbations. Prognosis varies depending on severity, but early and personalized treatment improves outcomes. Bronchiectasis remains under-recognized in Indonesia, despite its significant burden. Timely diagnosis using HRCT and targeted therapy can improve patient quality of life and reduce complications. Efforts should be made to increase clinical awareness, improve diagnostic access, and promote preventive measures such as immunization, smoking cessation, and early treatment of respiratory infections.

Abstract

Cor pulmonale refers to a condition affecting the right ventricle of the heart due to increased pulmonary pressure causing dilation or hypertrophy. This article was compiled using a literature review method. This disorder can manifest acutely, often triggered by a massive pulmonary embolism, severe pneumonia, or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), or chronically, usually caused by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, sleep apnea, or obesity-related hypoventilation syndrome. The primary cause is a disturbance in ventilation-perfusion balance that progresses to pulmonary hypertension. Symptoms usually appear in the advanced stages and include shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, fainting with exertion, chest discomfort, abdominal swelling, lower extremity edema, wheezing, and coughing. Diagnostic evaluation includes chest radiography, computed tomography (CT scan), electrocardiography (ECG), and cardiac catheterization, the latter being the definitive method. Treatment strategies aim to correct hypoxemia, relieve right ventricular strain, and address the underlying cause of the condition.

Abstract

A lung abscess is the formation of a thick-walled cavity filled with purulent material due to suppuration and necrosis of the lung parenchyma. Cases of lung abscess are relatively rare today and were most common in the pre-prebiotic era due to the lack of treatment for bacterial infections. This literature review aims to obtain information related to lung abscess its etiology, diagnostics, and treatment options. The article was compiled using a literature search through databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the keyword "lung abscess." The findings indicate that lung abscess is a condition characterized by the formation of a pus-filled cavity resulting from suppuration and necrosis of lung tissue. This disease is commonly caused by anaerobic bacterial infection, although aerobic bacteria may also play a role. Despite its relatively low incidence today, lung abscess remains an important clinical problem as it can arise as a complication of pneumonia or tuberculosis. Diagnosis is established through medical history, physical examination, and supporting investigations such as radiology and sputum culture. Management includes long-term antibiotic therapy, drainage, and surgical intervention for refractory cases. Preventive efforts involve maintaining oral hygiene, reducing alcohol consumption, and avoiding aspiration risk factors. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of the definition, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of lung abscess is essential to support clinical practice in pulmonary medicine.
