Abstract

Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a clinically significant and dose-limiting complication of thoracic radiotherapy, occurring despite modern delivery techniques. Its incidence and severity are influenced by a complex interplay of dosimetric, clinical, and patient-related factors, particularly in those receiving combined-modality therapies or with pre-existing pulmonary disease.Aim: To systematically summarize the incidence, risk factors, and predictive strategies for RP in patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy, with emphasis on clinical, dosimetric, and emerging biological predictors. A PRISMA-guided literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE was conducted from inception to January 2026 using MeSH terms related to radiation pneumonitis and thoracic radiotherapy. Original research studies involving adult patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy and reporting RP-related outcomes were included. Owing to substantial heterogeneity across studies, findings were qualitatively synthesized rather than pooled quantitatively.  Twelve studies comprising approximately 1,298 patients were included. All studies demonstrated a strong association between lung dose-volume parameters and RP development. Maintaining lung V20 at approximately 20–23% was associated with lower symptomatic RP, with grade ≥2 incidence ranging from 5.5% to 13.3%. Patients with interstitial lung disease or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis exhibited substantially higher risk, with RP ≥2 reported in up to 33% and severe RP in up to 42.1%. Emerging predictive models incorporating radiomics and biomarkers achieved AUC values up to 0.87. Lung dose exposure remains a key determinant of RP following thoracic radiotherapy. Limiting V20 to 20–23% may reduce toxicity, but individualized dose optimization, careful patient selection, and advanced risk stratification are essential — particularly in patients with underlying pulmonary disease or those receiving concurrent systemic therapies.

Abstract

Assault is an intentional act that may result in injury or death and remains a significant global public health issue. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and patterns of external injuries among deceased adult victims of assault at Bhayangkara Hospital Level II Sartika Asih Bandung during 2022–2024. This research used a descriptive retrospective design based on secondary data from Visum et Repertum and medical records. A total of 100 samples meeting inclusion criteria (aged 18–59 years) were analyzed using univariate methods. The results showed that most victims were aged 18–44 years (81%) and predominantly male (79%). The majority of victims were employed (58%). Most cases underwent advanced forensic examination (PLPD) (94%). Regarding injury patterns, the most common number of external injuries was two injuries (49%), followed by three injuries (29%). Among cases with a single injury, stab wounds were the most frequent (35.29%), followed by contusions (29.41%). In cases with two injuries, the most common combination was contusion and abrasion (30.6%). In conclusion, fatal assault cases predominantly affect productive-age males and commonly involve multiple external injuries, with sharp-force trauma playing a significant role. These findings provide important forensic and public health insights for violence prevention strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze stroke as a global health problem by examining its theoretical framework, scientific definitions, and underlying mechanisms through a comprehensive descriptive analysis. The research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method through a literature study. Data were collected through systematic literature searches and document analysis of credible academic sources, including peer reviewed journal articles and scientific publications discussing stroke epidemiology, risk factors, and pathophysiology. The collected literature was analyzed through qualitative procedures consisting of theme identification, data reduction, conceptual categorization, and inductive interpretation to develop a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The results indicate that stroke remains one of the leading causes of mortality and long term disability worldwide, characterized by complex interactions between vascular dysfunction, metabolic risk factors, and molecular mechanisms such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neurovascular unit disruption. Hypertension and metabolic disorders were identified as the most significant modifiable risk factors contributing to the increasing global burden of stroke. Furthermore, advances in molecular neuroscience and emerging neurorehabilitation strategies provide new insights into prevention, diagnosis, and recovery processes. These findings highlight the importance of integrated approaches combining preventive healthcare, early detection, and multidisciplinary treatment strategies to address the global impact of stroke. In conclusion, this study contributes to strengthening the theoretical understanding of stroke as a multidimensional health issue and provides a conceptual foundation for future research and policy development in global health and cerebrovascular disease management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of parenting patterns in preventing diabetes mellitus in children through a descriptive literature review approach. The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity and unhealthy lifestyles has raised concerns about the early risk of metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus, making family based prevention strategies increasingly important. This research employed a qualitative research design using a descriptive approach through a literature study. Data were collected through systematic searches of relevant academic sources, including peer reviewed journal articles, scientific publications, and other scholarly documents discussing parenting patterns, childhood obesity, and diabetes prevention. The collected data were analyzed using a thematic analysis process that involved identifying key themes, reducing and categorizing relevant information, and interpreting the findings inductively to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between parenting and childhood metabolic health. The results indicate that parenting patterns significantly influence children’s health behaviors, particularly in shaping dietary habits, physical activity, and lifestyle routines that affect the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders. Positive parental involvement, health literacy, and supportive family environments contribute to healthier behavioral patterns that reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes mellitus in childhood. These findings emphasize that effective prevention strategies should prioritize family centered health promotion, parental education, and collaborative efforts involving families, healthcare providers, schools, and communities. In conclusion, this study contributes to the understanding that parenting patterns are fundamental determinants in shaping children’s health behaviors and play an essential role in early prevention strategies aimed at reducing the risk of diabetes mellitus in children.
