Abstract

Background: Due to changes in the immune system, chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on routine hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk for latent tuberculosis (LTB). Latent tuberculosis requires special attention to prevent its development into active form because infection increases mortality in CKD patients. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with LTB in CKD in routine HD patients. Method: This research uses a cross-sectional design and is an analytical observational study. The study was conducted in the Hemodialysis Unit at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital between June and August 2023, using consecutive non-probability sampling. Results: Of the 289 CKD patients undergoing routine hemodialysis, 54 met the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of latent tuberculosis among these patients was 27.8%, as determined by the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST). Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between LTB and risk factors such as age, gender, body mass index, smoking status, or CKD etiology (P>0.05). Due to value of P>0.25, multivariate analysis could not be performed. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of latent tuberculosis among chronic kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis. The risk factors for LTB remain unclear. However, early diagnosis and treatment are recommended to prevent progression to active TB.

Abstract

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) once became a major pandemic in the history of human health. Patients in severe to critical conditions, especially with comorbidities, are more likely to have complications such as ARDS, cytokine storm, higher mortality rates, and require more effective treatments. Emodin is a candidate regimen that has the potential benefit for COVID-19.Method: This literature review was synthesized with literature searches on journal databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and the Google Scholar search engine. As a result, three main articles and 36 supporting articles were used to synthesize this literature review.Results: The pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection was similar to SARS-CoV infection, as demonstrated by Hoffmann et al, namely through the interaction of viral spike (S) protein with ACE2 receptors in the human body, so the inhibition of this interaction would be one of the therapeutic targets. Ho et al proved that emodin can inhibit the binding of the SARS-CoV S protein to ACE2 in vitro. The direct inhibition of S protein may also support the ACE2 cardioprotective function in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Emodin is also superior because it has various other benefits such as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. Based on the research of Dong et al, emodin can be given orally but in combination with inhibitors of glucuronidation, metabolism can increase the bioavailability of this drug.Conclusion: Emodin has the potential to be developed for the effective therapy of COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide associated with excessive chronic inflammatory response. Guided imagery is a relaxation technique to achieve the desired positive outcome. This study analyzed the effectiveness of guided imagery in stable COPD patients on the value of % FEV1, absolute neutrophils, anxiety, and the standard of living in those with steady COPD.Methods: Experimental analytic research with quasi-experimental, pretest and post-test design. Subjects were outpatient stable COPD patients at the pulmonary polyclinic of UNS Surakarta Hospital in January-June 2022. Subjects were divided into guided imagery intervention groups for 4 weeks and controls. Subjects were then examined for %FEV1 by spirometry, absolute neutrophils, Taylor Minnesota Anxiety Scale (TMAS) questionnaire, and St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) quality of life questionnaire, and re-evaluated after four weeks.Results: There were 32 research subjects. The findings demonstrated that the therapy group did not endure a significant increase in the mean value of %FEV1 (P=0.617). Meanwhile, the mean value of %FEV1 significantly decreased in the control group (P=0.025), given that the control group's value of % FEV1 fell. In contrast, the treatment group's increased, even if the difference was not statistically significant, the use of guided imagery could effectively halt the decline in %FEV1 value. Compared to the control group (P=0.014), the TMAS anxiety score was lower in the treatment group (P≤0.001). The overall SGRQ score (quality of life) considerably decreased in the treatment group (P≤0.001) while significantly increasing in the control group (P=0.014). Absolute neutrophils were found in both the treatment group and the control group (P=0.642; P=0.224, respectively). Absolute neutrophil blood levels in the treatment and control groups did not differ significantly.Conclusion: Guided imagery is effective on %FEV1 values, anxiety, and quality of life in stable COPD patients but not against absolute neutrophils.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 reinfection has been found, although the data is not clear yet. Pandemic conditions bring about limited facilities and infrastructure, so biomarkers are an option. Research on biomarkers and the use of ACE inhibitor drugs in COVID-19 patients has not been widely conducted in Indonesia.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that used medical record data of confirmed COVID-19 patients treated at dr. Moewardi General Hospital for the period of January to March 2022. Surviving patients were observed for reinfections until November 2022.Results: This study involved 524 medical records of confirmed COVID-19 patients. After exclusion and inclusion criteria, 517 medical records were obtained. D-Dimer cut-off values of ≥2435 were significantly related to severity (OR=2.05; 95% CI=1.38-3.06; P≤0.001) and mortality (OR=2.89; 95% CI=1.95-4.27; P≤0.001) of COVID-19 patients. Hs-CRP levels ≥4.59 were significantly associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients (OR=1.82; 95% CI=1.23-2.69; P=0.003). The use of ACE inhibitors (OR=0.55; 95% CI=0.33-0.89; P=0.015) was a protective factor from mortality but increased the risk of reinfection (OR=3.11; 95% CI=1.16-8.36; P=0.034). Conclusion: D-Dimer and Hs-CRP biomarkers could be considered as predictor biomarkers for the severity and mortality of COVID-19 patients. Although the use of ACE inhibitors increased the risk of reinfection, it reduced the risk of mortality due to COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development involves a complex pathway of host and environmental factors. Besides cigarette smoking, previous studies showed exposure to air pollution, such as particulate matter sized 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5), might also have an important role in COPD development because it might lead to airway remodeling and chronic lung inflammation. However, the cause-and-effect relationship between PM2.5 and COPD in non-smoking patients is still unclear.Methods: Literature searches were performed in five online medical databases (PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Cochrane Library) and hand-searching in Google Scholar. Filtering literature with the inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in three relevant articles (1 case-control and 2 cohort studies). Critical appraisal was conducted using the Center of Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) worksheet from the University of Oxford for etiologic studies.Results: All three articles were considered valid. The prospective cohort was decided unimportant because of the non-significant adjusted hazard ratio (HR 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.50-3.06). The case-control and retrospective studies had important results with adjusted odds ratio of 1.29 (95% CI=1.01-1.65) and 1.69 (95% CI=1.11-2.58), respectively. The relatively low number needed to harm (NNH) of 10-23 indicated that PM2.5 exposure was a meaningful factor for the risk of developing COPD in non-smoker adults. Both articles were considered applicable to our case. Conclusion: Non-smoking adults with exposure to PM2.5, compared to those without exposure, are at higher risk of developing COPD.

Abstract

Background: The impact of smoking is still a huge problem in the world. The use of cigarettes is one of the biggest causes of death that can be prevented. One of the harmful substances of smoking is carbon monoxide (CO). Unfortunately, research comparing CO levels in white and Kretek cigarette smokers among college students in Indonesia has not been conducted. This study aims to determine the relationship of expiratory CO levels in male students who smoke white or Kretek cigarettes at a university in Depok using a CO analyzer and questionnaire.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study design with 108 samples divided into two groups of white cigarette smokers and Kretek cigarette smokers with consecutive sampling techniques. Subjects took the expiratory CO test using a CO analyzer and filled out questionnaires related to smoking and other factors.Results: The study found expiratory CO results in white cigarette smokers at 13.9±8.36 ppm and Kretek cigarette at 13.18±8.79 ppm with no significant relation statistically. The factor that influences the subject's CO expiration is the Brinkman Index (P<0.001) with a weak correlation result and factors that influence the choice of cigarette type, namely pocket money (P=0.023) and age (P=0.015).Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between the average of white cigarette smokers or Kretek cigarette smokers with expiratory CO levels in subjects. This might be due to a more significant effect on the number of cigarettes consumed. Seeing the trend in Indonesia that Kretek cigarettes are relatively cheaper than white cigarettes, money allowance is one of the factors that determine the choice of white or Kretek cigarettes for college students in Depok.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of asthma has increased worldwide over the past few decades, with an estimated incidence reaching 400 million people by 2025. By the end of 2020, the prevalence of asthma in Indonesia was 4.5% of the total population, exceeding 12 million individuals.Methods: This study aimed to analyze the most frequent risk factors for asthma attacks. A correlative descriptive design was employed, with a population consisting of all asthma patients. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 30 respondents. This research was conducted in Malang and included respondents with a history of asthma who were not hospitalized.Results: Logistic regression analysis revealed that 72% of asthma recurrences were attributed to dust, cigarette smoke, cold air, family/hereditary history of disease, obesity, pollen, animal dander, seafood, eggs/nuts, fungi, and cow's milk. The remaining 28% were linked to other risk factors, including pregnancy, stress, excessive emotions, physical fatigue, weather changes, and more. The three primary risk factors for asthma attacks were dust (87%), cigarette smoke (83%), and cold air (73%).Conclusion: Asthma recurrence is primarily caused by hypersensitivity, with allergens triggering elevated IgE levels, leading to bronchoconstriction and subsequent asthma attacks. The findings of this study identified dust, cigarette smoke, and cold air as the main risk factors for asthma recurrence. Asthma patients need to recognize their allergens to facilitate preventive measures and reduce the likelihood of asthma attacks.

Abstract

Lung cancer is a major health concern in Indonesia due to its increasing prevalence, late-stage diagnosis, younger population, and high mortality. Addressing this issue requires nationwide implementation of comprehensive lung cancer control, which includes risk reduction and prevention strategies, focusing on tobacco control and air pollution mitigation. Screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and early detection in symptomatic patients, along with TB screening programs and all non-communicable diseases, is strongly recommended to enhance early case findings, treatment effectiveness, and overall patient outcomes. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach is important to ensure accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care. Moreover, the integration of palliative care at the early stages of advanced lung cancer is vital, focusing on symptom management and enhancing the quality of life for patients. While national guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, significant disparities in healthcare access remain across Indonesia. Thus, it is essential to improve universal health coverage and referral systems to guarantee equal access to lung cancer care for patients at all levels through advocacy and ease of access.

Abstract

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae causes 95% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Interleukin 6, procalcitonin, microbial count, and lung histopathology can help in determining indicators of inflammatory processes and prognosis. Curcumin, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, can be used as an adjunctive therapy in infectious diseases. Methods: This was a laboratory experimental study. A sample of 30 white rats (Rattus norvegicus) infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae was carried out in the experimental animal laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret in November 2022 with incidental sampling. The control group received 1cc of aquadest, the first treatment group received 30 mg/200 g of curcuma longa extract, the second treatment group received 50 mg/200 g of Curcuma longa extract, the third treatment group received 30 mg/200 g of Curcuma longa extract and 30 mg/200 g of amoxicillin, and the fourth treatment group received 30 mg/200 g of amoxicillin. Interleukin 6 and procalcitonin were measured on the third and twelfth days after the rats were infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. The microbial count and histopathology of the lungs were assessed after the twelfth day. Results: There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the decrease in levels of interleukin 6, procalcitonin, and microbial count in the treatment group compared to the control group. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the improvement in the histopathology of the lungs in the treatment group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Curcuma longa extract can significantly reduce levels of interleukin 6, procalcitonin, and microbial count, but not significantly improve the histopathology of the lung.

Abstract

Background: The relationship between lung cancer (LC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been extensively studied but is still up for debate. COPD is a molecularly based illness and one of the independent risk factors for lung cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma. This study uses spirometry to assess the relationship between the type and stage of LC and COPD in a group of LC patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on lung cancer patients in Arifin Achmad Hospital, Pekanbaru, from June 2022 to December 2022. Based on spirometry examination, patients were grouped according to the degree of COPD. Then, the relationship between the COPD group and the type and degree of cancer was determined. Results: The study involved 52 patients predominantly male (71.2%), aged over 40 years (92.3%), Smokers and former smokers with Severe Brinkman index (69.2%), restrictive lung function (34.6%), COPD group D (40.4%), adenocarcinoma (61.5%), stage IV lung cancer (92,3%) and WHO Performance Status Scale 2 (61.5%). The FEV1/FVC rate in this study was 66.67%. There is a link between the stage of lung cancer and the group of COPD (P=0.001). Conclusion: There is a relation between the stage of LC in the COPD group, which is predominantly with stage IV lung cancer, and group D of COPD.
