Background: The global rise in electric cigarette (e-cigarette) use has prompted urgent investigation into their health effects. This meta-analysis aims to consolidate evidence regarding the impact of e-cigarette use on lung health. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted, identifying studies published between 2018 and 2024 that assessed lung function, respiratory symptoms, and lung disease incidence in e-cigarette users. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were subjected to quality assessment and data extraction. Random-effects models were used for pooled analysis, and heterogeneity was assessed. Results: Twenty-three studies, encompassing 12,456 participants, were included. E-cigarette use was associated with a small but significant decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (standardized mean difference [SMD] -0.18, 95% CI -0.26 to -0.10, p<0.001). Increased odds of wheezing (odds ratio [OR] 1.38, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.65, p=0.001) and chronic cough (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.44, p=0.003) were also observed in e-cigarette users. No significant association was found with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) incidence. Conclusion: E-cigarette use appears detrimental to lung function and associated with respiratory symptoms. Further long-term research is imperative to establish definitive conclusions on the risk of COPD and other lung diseases.

Background: Chronic pain and sleep disorders frequently co-occur, exacerbating each other in a vicious cycle. This meta-analysis aimed to identify and quantify risk factors associated with sleep disorders in individuals experiencing chronic pain. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted from January 2018 to June 2024. Studies assessing sleep disorders (insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome) in adults with chronic pain (non-cancer pain lasting >3 months) were included. Data on demographics, pain characteristics, sleep measures, and potential risk factors were extracted. Meta-analyses were performed using random-effects models to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Twenty-seven studies (n = 12,453 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Chronic pain significantly increased the odds of having any sleep disorder (OR 2.83, 95% CI 2.19-3.65). Specific risk factors identified included: Female gender: OR 1.41 (95% CI 1.18-1.67); Higher pain intensity: OR 1.15 per 1-unit increase on a 0-10 scale (95% CI 1.08-1.23); Longer pain duration: OR 1.04 per year (95% CI 1.01-1.07); Presence of depression or anxiety: OR 2.32 (95% CI 1.85-2.91); Use of opioid medications: OR 1.58 (95% CI 1.23-2.04). Conclusion: Chronic pain is a substantial risk factor for sleep disorders. Gender, pain intensity, duration, comorbid mental health conditions, and opioid use emerged as modifiable risk factors. Targeted interventions addressing these factors may improve sleep outcomes in individuals with chronic pain.

Background: Air pollution, particularly from industrial sources like palm oil factories, poses a significant risk to respiratory health. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) exposure on lung function in palm oil factory workers and compare it to the lung function of individuals in the surrounding community. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kuantan Mudik District, Riau, Indonesia. One hundred palm oil factory workers with a minimum of two years of employment and 100 community members not occupationally exposed to NO and CO were recruited. Lung function was assessed using spirometry, and NO and CO levels were measured using specialized analyzers. Participants completed the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) questionnaire, and demographic and clinical data were collected. Statistical analyses included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Factory workers exhibited significantly higher levels of NO (p=0.000) and a higher prevalence of restrictive lung function (17%) compared to the community members (3%). Multivariate analysis identified NO exposure as the most significant risk factor for restrictive lung function (p=0.005). Each unit increase in NO was associated with a 1.12-fold increased risk of restrictive lung function. CO exposure, age, gender, smoking history, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) were not significantly associated with lung function impairment in this study. Conclusion: Occupational exposure to NO in palm oil factories is a significant risk factor for restrictive lung function impairment. Regular monitoring of NO levels and the implementation of effective control measures are crucial to protect the respiratory health of palm oil factory workers.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the major cause of neonatal blindness and may account for up to 10% of juvenile blindness. This systematic review evaluates the relationship between hyperglycemia and ROP in VLBW infants. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review using an online database: Google Scholar, PubMed, and the Wiley Online Library. Original research studies examining the association between hyperglycemia and ROP were the inclusion criteria. Animal studies, a letter to the editor, a commentary report, a review, a meta-analysis not available in full text in English or Bahasa Indonesia, and data in the study insufficient for analysis were all excluded. Results: This systematic review includes nine studies, six cohorts and three case-control studies, involving a total of 1,566 infants. Six studies indicated that newborns in the ROP group had lower mean gestational age and birthweight than those in the non-ROP group. Five investigations found that the mean glucose level in the ROP group was greater than in the non-ROP group. Six studies found that the prevalence of glycemia was much higher than in the non-ROP group. Eight of the nine studies found a significant relationship between hyperglycemia in VLBW infants, and only one found no significant relationship between them. The highest odds ratio and relative risk of hyperglycemia causing ROP were 14.27 (5.16–39.50); p-value <0.001 and 28.062 (7.881–99.924); p-value <0.001, respectively. The overall range of values found across the studies was also considered. Conclusion: Hyperglycemia has a significant relationship with ROP and is also a risk factor for ROP in VLBW infants.

Background: Atypical eclampsia, characterized by seizures without the classic signs of hypertension and proteinuria, presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in the critical management aspect. This case report highlights the critical management of recurrent seizures in a young primigravida with atypical eclampsia. Case presentation: A 16-year-old primigravida at 38 weeks gestation presented with recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Despite initial magnesium sulfate therapy, seizures persisted postpartum. The patient was managed with a combination of midazolam and dexmedetomidine for seizure control and sedation. After five days of intensive care, the patient recovered without further complications. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering atypical eclampsia in pregnant women presenting with seizures, even in the absence of typical preeclampsia symptoms. The successful use of midazolam and dexmedetomidine in this case suggests their potential as alternative therapeutic agents for refractory seizures in eclampsia. Further research is needed to validate these findings and establish optimal treatment protocols for atypical eclampsia.

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a multifactorial etiology, including genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Obesity, characterized by a high body mass index (BMI), has been increasingly recognized as a potential risk factor for PV and may influence its severity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between various risk factors, particularly BMI, and the severity of PV. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a dermatology outpatient clinic of Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital. Patients with a confirmed PV diagnosis were enrolled. Demographic data, medical history, lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption), and anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI) were collected. PV severity was assessed using the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI). Statistical analysis, including univariate and multivariate logistic regression, was performed to identify associations between risk factors and PV severity. Results: The study included 200 PV patients with a mean age of 45.2 years (SD = 12.8) and a male predominance (58%). The mean PASI score was 12.4 (SD = 8.6), indicating a wide range of disease severity. Multivariate analysis revealed that obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) was significantly associated with increased PV severity (odds ratio [OR] = 2.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5-5.2, p = 0.001). Smoking (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1-3.3, p = 0.02) and a family history of psoriasis (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.3-4.1, p = 0.004) were also identified as independent risk factors for higher PASI scores. Alcohol consumption showed a borderline association with increased severity (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.0-2.6, p = 0.05). Conclusion: Obesity, smoking, and a family history of psoriasis are significant risk factors for increased PV severity. These findings underscore the importance of addressing modifiable risk factors, such as weight management and smoking cessation, in the holistic management of PV. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking these risk factors to PV severity and to develop targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes.

Background: Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is a life-threatening complication of dengue infection characterized by plasma leakage, shock, and organ dysfunction. Fluid management is crucial in DSS, but fluid overload can lead to adverse outcomes. This case report highlights the challenges and strategies in managing DSS with fluid overload. Case presentation: An 8-year-old girl presented with severe dengue, DSS, encephalopathy, and fluid overload. She had a history of high fever, vomiting, and altered consciousness. Initial management focused on fluid resuscitation, but the patient developed signs of fluid overload. Hemodynamic monitoring using USCOM (Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor) revealed low cardiac output and high systemic vascular resistance. Fluid restriction and inotropic support with epinephrine were initiated. The patient's condition gradually improved, and she was discharged after complete recovery. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of early recognition and careful monitoring of fluid status in DSS. Hemodynamic monitoring tools like USCOM can aid in guiding fluid management and identifying complications like fluid overload. Prompt intervention with fluid restriction and inotropic support can improve outcomes in DSS patients with fluid overload.

Background: Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) is an uncommon variant of mycosis fungoides (MF), a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It presents a diagnostic challenge due to its clinical resemblance to various benign dermatological conditions. This case report highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, incorporating clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings. Case presentation: A 48-year-old Indonesian woman presented with a one-year history of progressive, asymptomatic hypopigmented patches on her extremities. Initially misdiagnosed as progressive macular hypomelanosis, the patient's condition did not improve with topical treatments. Clinical examination revealed multiple hypopigmented patches and macules on both extremities, with some lesions exhibiting fine scales. Histopathological examination demonstrated atypical lymphocytes with epidermotropism and Pautrier's microabscesses. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the presence of CD3+ T-cells, leading to the diagnosis of HMF. Conclusion: HMF can mimic various dermatological conditions, making diagnosis challenging. A thorough clinical assessment, coupled with histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. This case underscores the importance of considering HMF in the differential diagnosis of hypopigmented skin lesions, particularly in individuals with persistent or atypical presentations. Early recognition and intervention are essential for optimizing patient outcomes.

Background: Malnutrition is a prevalent issue in hospital settings, significantly impacting patient outcomes and healthcare costs. This study aimed to identify and analyze risk factors associated with malnutrition and its influence on the length of stay (LOS) among hospitalized patients at Klungkung General Hospital, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted, including adult patients admitted to Klungkung General Hospital between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Malnutrition was assessed using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tool. Patient demographics, medical history, nutritional status, laboratory parameters, and LOS were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with malnutrition and its impact on LOS. Results: A total of 43,949 patients were included in the study, with 1,084 (2.46%) identified as malnutrition. The mean LOS for malnutrition patients was significantly longer than for well-nutrition patients (7.8 days vs. 4.2 days, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥ 60 years (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.85-2.89), presence of comorbidities (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.42-2.16), low albumin levels (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.68-2.50), and inadequate dietary intake (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.61-2.43) were independent risk factors for malnutrition. Malnutrition was also an independent predictor of prolonged LOS (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.36-2.07). Conclusion: Malnutrition is a significant problem at Klungkung General Hospital, associated with increased LOS. Early identification of risk factors and implementation of targeted nutritional interventions are crucial to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

Background: Malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) significantly impacts the quality of life and prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer or metastatic disease. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various management strategies for MCAO. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases from 2018 to 2024 was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing different MCAO management approaches. Primary outcomes included improvement in airway patency, dyspnea scores, and survival. Secondary outcomes included procedural complications and quality-of-life measures. A random-effects model was used to pool data, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic. Results: A total of 25 studies (15 RCTs, 10 observational studies), encompassing 3456 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. Interventions assessed were rigid bronchoscopy with various modalities (e.g., laser therapy, cryotherapy, electrocautery, balloon dilation, stenting), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), brachytherapy, and systemic therapy. Rigid bronchoscopy: Significantly improved airway patency and dyspnea scores compared to supportive care alone (OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.95-4.18; p<0.001). Stenting: Demonstrated superior airway patency and symptom relief compared to other bronchoscopic interventions (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.21-2.48; p=0.003). EBRT/Brachytherapy: Offered moderate symptom improvement but with higher complication rates than bronchoscopic interventions (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.05-1.85; p=0.021). Systemic therapy (chemotherapy/immunotherapy): Provided limited benefit in terms of airway patency but may impact overall survival in specific tumor types. Conclusion: Rigid bronchoscopy, particularly with stenting, is the most effective initial management strategy for MCAO, providing rapid symptom relief and airway recanalization. EBRT/brachytherapy can be considered as adjuncts or alternatives in select cases. Further research is needed to determine the optimal combination and sequencing of therapies for different tumor types and stages.
