Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) which can be found on multiple organs, but mostly infect the lung. AFB smear is used to diagnose and evaluate therapy response, to show bacterial burden and the patient’s infectious status. Combination of antituberculosis drugs for a long period of time could cause poor compliance and increased risk of resistance. Mtb infection induce immune response and release cytokines, one of which is interleukin-2 (IL-2) that regulate T lymphocyte cell. Higher IL-2 levels is found on patient with high bacterial burdern.  This study aims to see the assossciation between IL-2 levels before and 30 days after DR-TB treatment, to see pre and post-treatment IL-2 levels with conversion of AFB smear, and correlation between pre-treatment IL-2 levels and AFB smear. Method: This was a cohort prospective study at RSUD dr Saiful Anwar Malang. Thirty nine DR-TB patients underwent AFB smear before and 30 days after treatment, while IL-2 levels was also measured by Enzym-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique. Results: The levels of IL-2 before treatment was significantly higher compared to 30 days after treatment (P<0.001). There was no significant IL-2 levels difference between conversion and non-conversion group (P=0.23), and a weak, not-significant correlation between IL-2 levels and AFB smear (r=0.28; P=0.06). Conclusion: The levels of IL-2 was significantly higher before than after treatment and it cannot be used to determine the positivity of acid-resistant bacilli smears in the sputum of patients with DR-TB. The limited timeframe and biomarker in this study raise the possibility to observe IL-2 as well as other biomarkers after intensive phase of TB treatment for future studies.

Abstract

Background: Smoking is a risk factor for the development and worsening of respiratory diseases, including COVID-19 infection. Smoking can increase the risk of the severity of COVID-19 by two times because in smokers there is an increase in the expression of the ACE-2 gene by 25% compared to non-smokers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between smoking status and smoking index on the course of COVID-19 disease treated at Dr. M Djamil General Hospital. Method: An observational analytic study with a retrospective cohort approach on COVID-19 patients who were treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital. Data were taken from January to March 2021. The relationship between smoking status and smoking index on the course of COVID-19 was analyzed by Chi-Square. Results: This study found the most age was above 50 years with a vulnerable age of 50-59 years (28.4%) and female gender (56.7%). Non-smoker status (64.2%) and moderate smoking index (51.4%) were the most commonly found in this study. Clinically non-progressive COVID-19 (53.7%) was the most common. This study found that the maximum length of stay for COVID-19 patients was less than 21 days (53.7%) and the outcome of patients recovered (62.2%). This study found a significant relationship between the smoking index on the clinical progress of COVID-19 patients and there was a significant relationship between smoking status and the outcome of COVID-19 patients. This study found that smoking status and the smoking index had no significant relationship with the length of stay of COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: Smoking status is related to outcomes in COVID-19 patients and the smoking index is related to a progression in COVID-19 patients treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout the world with high morbidity and mortality estimated up to 20%. This number will increase with the presence of comorbidities. Comorbidities were associated with complex clinical management and impacted on COVID-19 disease outcomes. This study aims to determine the association between comorbidities and the outcome of COVID-19 patients at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital. Method: We conducted an observational study with a retrospective cohort design on COVID-19 patients treated at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital. Data were taken from medical records from January to March 2021. Association between comorbidities and the outcome of COVID-19 patients was analyzed by Chi-Square or Fisher Exact Test. Results: The majority patientss were female (56.4%) and ages above 50 years old (64.3%) were the majority of patients. The most common was hypertension (36.56%). The longest length of stay of COVID-19 patients was more than 21 days (52.9%).  The outcomes of COVID-19 patients were recovered (59.5%), recovered with sequelae (5.7%), and died (34.8%). Diabetes mellitus affected the end of treatment outcome. There was no relationship of type of comorbidity with length of stay. The more co-morbidities a patient suffers, the condition when infected with COVID-19 will get worse. Conclusion: The number of comorbidities affects the outcome of COVID-19 patients. Diabetes mellitus is most common that affects the end of treatment outcome for COVID-19 patients at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-2019) pandemic has a high mortality rate especially in Medan, Indonesia. Serum albumin and liver function tests are believed to be predictive biomarkers for prognosis in patients with infectious diseases, including COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the association between the mortality events and severely ill COVID-19 patients' serum albumin and liver enzymes. Method: This is a cross-sectional study using secondary data from the medical records of H. Adam Malik Hospital patients with COVID-19 who were confirmed by RT-PCR from August to December 2020. All patients were analyzed for age, sex, hypoalbuminemia, increased liver enzymes and outcome using Chi-square tests (P<0.05). Results: The average age of severe COVID-19 patients at H. Adam Malik Hospital ranged from 41 to 60 years, with more women prevalence than men. Most of the patients had hypoalbuminemia (84.2%), an increase in AST (59.4)% and ALT (45.5%). There was no significant association between hypoalbuminemia and the disease outcome (P=0.12). There was a significant association between elevated liver enzymes and mortality in severely ill COVID-19 patients (P<0.001). Conclusion: We found that hypoalbuminemia is common in patients with severe COVID-19. However, we found that albumin levels had no association with the patients' mortality rate. Liver enzymes levels appear to be a predictive biomarker for outcomes in COVID-19 patients of H. Adam Malik Hospital. We found that higher ALT and AST levels were associated with significantly higher mortality.

Abstract

Background: Smoking habits are still a global problem. One of the harmful compounds in cigarettes is nicotine which gives a dependence effect on its users because long-term exposure can cause desensitisation of nicotinic acetyhlcoline receptor. This study aimed to determine the correlation between degree of smoking habit and level of nicotine dependence in actively smoking university students. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using questionnaires, consisted of relating factors questionnaire (age, BMI, academic major, allowance, family smoking habits, and social environment), degree of smoking behavior questionnaire (Brinkman Index/IB), and Fagerstorm Test for Nicotine Dependence/FTND questionnaire. Results: There were 124 active smoker university students included in this study. This study found that the higher the BI score, the higher the FTND score (P<0.001; r=0.420). In addition, this study also found that there were positive correlations between age (P=0.009; r=0.223), personal income (P=0.003; r=0.261), and academic major (P=0.042) with the levels of smoking habit. There was also correlation between allowance (P=0.005; r=0.249) with level of nicotine dependence. Conclusion: These results indicate a significant moderate correlation between smoking habit with nicotine dependence among university students.

Abstract

Microbiota and the body's immune system have a two-way interaction that is interconnected. The microbiota plays a role in the formation and maturation of the immune system, on the other hand, the immune system shapes the composition and function of the microbiota. This interaction is important in maintaining the body’s immune system’s homeostasis. The human intestine contains various types of microbes that form the gut microbiota. Various studies have found that changes in the gut microbiota are associated with immunity in distal tissues such as the lung. This gives rise to the concept of a feedback relationship between the gut and lung organs called the gut-lung axis. Through this axis, changes in the composition of the gut microbiota not only cause abnormalities in the gut but also affect microbiota in the lungs and can cause disease. One of the important routes in the transmission of substances from the intestine is through the mesenteric lymphatics. Probiotics can help improve the gut’s defense mechanism. A high-fiber diet can also reduce pathogenic bacteria by increasing levels of short-chain fatty acids. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle is needed to maintain the balance of the microbiota.

Abstract

Background: Fitness is inextricable to health and has a significant correlation with the habits and behaviour of individuals such as dietary practice, sedentary behaviour, physical activities, and smoking habits. Many ways can be used to assess an individual fitness level, one of them is using the 6-minute walking test. This study aims to find the correlation between smoking intensity, nutritional status, occupation, and physical activity with the fitness level of outdoor janitors in Universitas Indonesia, Depok. Method: The research method was the cross-sectional design. The determination of the subjects was carried out by a consecutive sampling method. The data obtained results from the assessment of nutritional status, occupation, physical activity, and smoking intensity, as well as result from the 6-minute walking test. Univariate data analysis was used to assess the distribution of subjects based on sociodemographics, nutritional status, physical activity, occupation, and smoking activity. Furthermore, categorical correlative tests used were Man-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Fisher's Exact test. Results: The subjects obtained are 109 outdoor janitors from UI, Depok in which 59.6% age 18-44 years old, and 56% are male. Based on the correlative test between the fitness level and the nutritional status, value of P=0.086, as value of P between the physical activity and the fitness level is 0.0523. No significant correlation between fitness level and occupation based on location of the job, duration of work and based on the work time (P=1.00; P=1.00; P=0.108) The correlation between smoking intensity with the fitness level has value of P=0.681. Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between nutritional status, physical activity, type of work, and smoking intensity with the fitness level as measured by the 6-minute walking test method for outdoor janitors of UI, Depok.

Abstract

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is defined as an oral temperature of >38.3° C or two consecutive measures >38°C within 2 hours accompanied by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 500/L or a predicted decrease below 500/L in individuals undergoing systemic chemotherapy for cancer. FN is one of the oncological emergencies that can influence cancer patients' outcomes since it can increase morbidity, treatment delays, decrease survival, and expand costs. The incidence of FN is 3.7-28% in lung cancer patients. Mortality associated with FN episodes is 15%. FN risk factors include chemotherapy regimen, age, comorbidities, mucositis, performance status, and previous FN history. Validated predicted instruments such as The Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) or The Clinical Index of Stable Febrile Neutropenia (CISNE) score could assist in the risk assessment of FN and determine advanced management. Effective therapy of FN requires investigation of diagnosis as soon as possible and acknowledging the potential source of infection. The prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) and anti-microbial successfully reduced mortality due to FN.

Abstract

Background: Intensity for aerobic exercise is unclear in patient with COPD. Previous systematic review comparing effects of different levels of training intensity was done in 2011 and did not reach any conclusion. We conducted this systematic review to see the differences in aerobic training intensity on various aspects of health in COPD patients with updated information. Method: We included RCTs, comparing the differences in intensity of aerobic training between groups. The primary search was done through Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, Proquest, and PEdro. The PEdro scale and Risk of Bias 2 tool was used to rate the studies. Lastly, we also rate the certainty of evidence using GRADE approach. The assessment was carried out by two reviewers independently. Data were extracted by one reviewer then evaluated by second reviewer. Results: We found and analysed data from four studies with total of 472 patients. The primary outcomes extracted were Disease-specific Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Functional exercise capacity, Dyspnea symptoms. There was a significant difference only in St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) symptoms domain for HRQoL outcome (MD=5.53; 95% CI=1.08-9.97), favoured lower intensity group. No other significant results were found for any other outcomes/ outcome measures. According to GRADE, quality of the studies was very low to moderate. Conclusion: The evidence we collected is very limited and difficult to evaluate. Further research comparing higher intensity with lower intensity of aerobic training is needed.

Abstract

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) is an example of a sleep-related breathing disorder. UARS was first reported by Guilleminault in 1992 and it is known as excessive daytime sleepiness without obvious apnea or hypopnea that is characterized by more than 50% of respiratory effort-related arousals (RERAs) during sleep. The prevalence of UARS was 15% in the population of São Paulo. Although clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG) findings, and pathogenesis differ between UARS and OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea), it still sparked a debate among researchers as to whether UARS should be categorized as a distinct disorder. The International Classification of Sleep Disorders - Third Edition (ICSD3) integrated UARS into OSA diagnosis, resulting in underdiagnosed and undertreated patients with sleep-related breathing disorders who did not necessarily meet OSA criteria. Untreated UARS, on the other hand, has a variety of clinical consequences, including poor weight and height growth, daytime irritability, worsening of quality of life, and cardiovascular complications. Continuous positive airway pressure therapy, oral appliances, surgical management, weight reduction, and positional therapy are all considered options in the management of UARS.
