Abstract

Background: The most widely used lung function test, spirometry, requires constant coaching and more effort. An alternative modality of impulse oscillometry (IOS) was introduced, which is simpler than spirometry, requiring only basic tidal breathing and less cooperation, but with less stringent standards. Methods: This research was a diagnostic test research with medical records data of patients who underwent spirometry and oscillometry procedures within the same period. The study was conducted in Sebelas Maret University General Hospital from March to September 2024. Results: A total of 77% of examinations gave the same results, namely restriction in 32 people (30.8%) and obstruction in 48 people (46.2%). Meanwhile, as many as 23% of IOS examinations gave different results compared to spirometry examinations (discordance). Six normal results from spirometry showed the impression of obstruction in IOS. The agreement between the IOS examination and spirometry was moderately significant (P=0.0001). Conclusion: Impulse oscillometry is a useful adjunct to spirometry, which is still the gold standard, especially for patients who are incapable of performing forced maneuvers.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that is a health problem throughout the world. COPD sufferers can experience problems with decreased oxygen levels. This incidence can cause COPD sufferers to experience decreased sleep quality. Poor sleep quality will have an impact on the sufferer's physiology. Therefore, COPD sufferers can do breathing exercises, such as the 4-7-8 breathing exercises, which play a role in maximizing oxygen in the respiratory system. This study was conducted to determine the effect of 4-7-8 breathing exercises on improving sleep quality in patients with COPD Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest without a control. This research was conducted on 45 samples, which were recruited in Cut Nyak Dhien Regional Hospital's pulmonary polyclinic, from February 29 to March 18, 2024. The main interventions carried out are the 4-7-8 breathing technique, and the study tool is the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. The data analysis method used was the Wilcoxon statistical test. Results: There is a decrease from 13.33 (pre-intervention) to 4.93 (post-intervention) for the mean score of the breathing exercise 4-7-8. There is a significant influence between influence of the 4-7-8 breathing exercise on improving sleep quality in COPD patients (P=0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant effect of breathing exercise 4-7-8 on improving sleep quality in COPD patients.

Abstract

Background: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a severe fungal infection with a high mortality rate. However, because the clinical and radiological images are non-specific, and culture results take a long time and yield unsatisfactory results, rapid, high-accuracy tests are needed. Consequently, the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis remains difficult. The objective of this study was to assess the galactomannan (GM) test as a diagnostic tool for patients with suspected invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Methods: Articles were searched through three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane) using keywords based on PICO components related to suspected invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and the GM test. Titles and abstracts were screened, duplicates were removed, and articles were filtered according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The critical appraisal was performed using methods recommended by the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford. Results: Three studies reported serum GM test sensitivities ranging from 71% to 88%, suggesting that this assay may be suitable as a screening tool due to its adequate true positive detection rate. The specificity values in these studies ranged from 89% to 98%, indicating good accuracy in correctly identifying true negative cases. However, considerable heterogeneity was observed across the studies. Conclusion: The GM test is a promising rapid diagnostic tool for suspected invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, enabling earlier and more accurate antifungal treatment. However, further studies are needed to standardize its cut-off values and interpretation to ensure consistent clinical application.

Abstract

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) poses significant challenges to control efforts due to its complex pathogenesis and limited treatment options. DR-TB arises through primary infection with resistant strains or secondary resistance during the course of treatment. Secondary resistance is divided into intrinsic and acquired. In intrinsic resistance, infection is caused by TB germs that have evolved, causing resistance through several mechanisms, namely reducing cell membrane permeability, drug reflux, degradation and target modification, while acquired resistance is caused by chromosomal mutations in target genes during the treatment process. Resistance is driven by chromosomal mutations in key genes such as rpoB, katG, inhA, pncA, emb, gyrA/gyrB, rrs and others, leading to reduced drug susceptibility. This review summarizes immunological mechanisms relevant to resistance and current treatment approaches.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) displays various symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening. Patients may present with typical respiratory infections or atypical symptoms. Non-severe COVID-19 encompasses mild and moderate cases, characterized by the absence of criteria for severe or critical illness, with mild cases not showing evidence of viral pneumonia or hypoxia and moderate cases maintaining SpO2 levels of at least 90% on room air.Case: We presented a COVID-19 case with the chief complaint of unilateral leg swelling. A 48-year-old male was admitted with the chief complaint of cramps and swelling of the left leg. He had a history of fever, cough, nausea, and vomiting. Laboratory studies showed elevated D-dimer. Doppler ultrasound shows signs of both proximal and distal deep vein thrombosis.  CT pulmonary angiography excluded pulmonary embolism while the lung window image supported the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) obtained from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs confirmed COVID-19 infection.Discussion: We treated the patient with parenteral anticoagulation followed by direct oral anticoagulant upon discharge. The swelling improved as well as the patient’s clinical status. Thromboembolic complications have been credited as the culprit of high mortality in COVID-19. Systemic activation of coagulation in pulmonary and peripheral circulation contributed to life-threatening thrombotic complications. Our patient presented with COVID-19-associated proximal and distal DVT without pulmonary embolism.Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis of COVID-19 infection and acute DVT improves patient care. The hallmark of the management of VTE in COVID-19 patients is treatment with therapeutic dose parenteral anticoagulation followed by oral anticoagulant.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV- 2 virus and has become a pandemic until now. Clinical outcomes in patients vary depending on many factors, such as demographics, vital signs, laboratory results, and comorbidities.Methods: This study aims to analyze clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients associated with the patient's general information (age, sex), demographic factors, admission vital signs, degree of symptoms at admission, blood laboratory results at admission, and comorbidities. This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. All variables were examined based on medical records at the time of admission to the hospital. A multivariate analysis was conducted to determine what factors most influence clinical outcomes in treated COVID-19 patients.Results: There were 183 COVID-19 patients included in this study with moderate to critical degrees. Factors that influence the clinical outcome of COVID-19 patients are the presence of comorbidities, old age, high blood pressure and heart rate, anemia, leukocytosis, and increased blood sugar and creatinine at admission. Multivariate analysis showed that clinical symptoms of severe COVID-19 were a factor that influenced poor clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients, with OR=5.6 (95% CI=2.223-13.90).Conclusion: Age, comorbidity, blood pressure, heart rate, hemoglobin, random blood glucose, and creatinine at admission influence the clinical outcome of admitted COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Background:Coinfection TB and COVID-19 might occur, yet few evidence has been reported. Current COVID-19 pandemic also results in disruption at TB management in the community. Case: A 5-month-old boy came with recurrent seizure, with history of persistent cough and fever for 1 month prior, also positive possible TB contact. The diagnosis was disseminated TB (miliary and meningitis), coinfected with COVID-19.Discussion: During COVID-19 pandemic, TB service in the community is disrupted resulting in delay in TB diagnosis, as observed in this patient, leading to severe manifestation. Coinfection of TB and COVID-19 can occur and may lead to more severe symptoms in either both diseases. Management of TB COVID-19 coinfected children is similar to those without COVID-19. Our patient received treatment consisting of 2 RHZE then 10 RH. Monitoring of symptoms and possible sequelae is necessary.Conclusion: Coinfection TB and COVID-19 may occur in children, and both can lead to more severe manifestation of each condition, particularly if diagnosis is delayed. Strengthening TB care in the community is essential so that there will be no delay in diagnosis, also no disruption in treatment and monitoring.Keywords COVID-19, tuberculosis, coinfection, children

Abstract

Background: Acute lung parenchymal infection, known as pneumonia, can be carried on by multiple microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Globally, community-acquired pneumonia is a major factor of morbidity, mortality, and health issues. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a marker of oxidative stress in pneumonia patients, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a marker of inflammatory process. Effect of Omega-3 as an immunomodulator, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant may be implemented as adjunctive therapy in patient with community-acquired pneumonia.Methods: Clinical trial research with a true experimental method and pretest-posttest design. The study involved 30 community-acquired pneumonia patients who were admitted at Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta and Dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Hospital in Sragen from August to September 2022 by consecutive sampling. The control group (n=15) received standard therapy, and the treatment group (n=15) received standard therapy plus Omega-3 at a dose of 1600 mg/day. IL-6 and MDA levels were measured when the subject was admitted to the hospital and there was clinical improvement.Results: There was a significant difference in reduced IL-6 levels (P=0.001), decreased MDA levels (P=0.001), and the duration of clinical improvement (P=0.042) between the treatment group and the control group. There was a moderate correlation between the decrease in IL-6 (R=0.480) and MDA (R=0.459), while the duration of clinical improvement had a strong correlation (R=0.756) in the treatment group.Conclusion: Supplementation of Omega-3 was effective in reducing IL-6, MDA levels, and the duration of clinical improvement in community-acquired pneumonia patients.

Abstract

In cases of pneumothorax in the chest tube, the presence of air in the pleural cavity that lasts more than 5 to 7 days can be suspected as a persistent air leak (PAL), especially if an increased amount of air is obtained accompanied by the appearance of bubbles in the water seal drainage (WSD) system. This is the most common complication after surgery (8–26%), although it can be primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) (26%) or secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) (39%). One condition that often causes difficulties in PAL therapy is infection due to direct contact with the fistula. The presence of PAL is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, prolonged chest tube inserted, and longer hospitalization. Observations of air production in PAL are expected to occur spontaneously within 4 days, if the leak persists, pleurodesis is recommended. If it was possible, surgery is needed to close the leak. Bronchoscopy treatment is only recommended in special circumstances where surgery is contraindicated or the patient refuses the surgical procedure.

Abstract

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of lung diseases characterized by various patterns of lung tissue damage, including inflammation and fibrosis of the lung interstitium, both with known or unknown causes (idiopathic). In establishing the diagnosis of ILD, a comprehensive approach including history-taking, physical examination, and supporting examinations, is needed and managed in a multidisciplinary manner. Biomarkers are diagnostic tools known to be accessible, inexpensive, reproducible, and non-invasive for helping diagnose ILD patients. Growing evidence has supported the idea that many biomarker molecules can detect lung injury in ILD, including Krebs von de lungen-6 (KL-6) and Surfactant D (SP-D). KL-6 and SP-D could be utilized in the detection, disease monitoring, prognostication, and therapeutic responses of ILD patients. This review aimed to discuss several potential Kl-6 and SP-D biomarkers against ILD and discusses their clinical utility.
