It is one of the causes of death in COVID-19 cases and is often underdiagnosed in Indonesia because computed tomography-pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is not used as the gold standard. T\u0000Methods: This study used a prospective analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study participants were 45 COVID-19 patients admitted to Santa Elisabeth Hospital, Medan, from January to March 2021. Patients were identified with moderate to severe degrees of COVID-19 and elevated D-dimer and subsequently instructed to undergo a thorax CT scan with IV contrast. The data was analyzed using dependent t-test statistical analysis. The p-value < 0.05 was noted as significant.\u0000Results: Moderate to severe coagulation factor values in COVID-19 patients with mean + SD PT, APTT, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and platelets were 14.11; 30.65; 1172.14; 423.56 and 215.822, respectively. In this study, 22 (48.9%) patients experienced a pulmonary embolism, while the other 23 (51.1%) did not. No significant correlation was found between all coagulation factors and embolism (p > 0.05). The mean + SD well score for pulmonary embolism was 0.23 + 0.57.\u0000Conclusion: Pulmonary embolism was detected in 22 patients (48.49%) with moderate to severe COVID-19 who developed hypercoagulation as indicated by the thorax CT scan with IV contrast. This case was quite common. In resource-constrained situations, a thorax CT scan with IV contrast may replace CTPA in diagnosing/detecting the presence of pulmonary embolism.","PeriodicalId":328612,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Respirasi","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125938603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer. However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared in 2013 that outdoor air pollution is a substance that is carcinogenic and contributes to lung cancer. This was supported by several studies which show an increased prevalence of adenocarcinoma, even in countries with a low prevalence of smokers. The presence of one or more substances in the air for longer periods or at higher concentrations than usual, which can potentially have negative effects, is called air pollution. Aside from carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), lead, ozone (O3), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter with <2.5 µm diameter (PM2.5) has been identified to be associated with the risk of lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer was higher after prolonged exposure to PM2.5 regardless of age, gender, and smoking history. Exposure to air pollution is a significant factor in the onset and progression of lung cancer. Oxidative stress, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage, inflammation, metabolism, epigenetic control, and signal transduction pathways are a few potential mechanisms of air pollution-induced lung cancer. Everyone, including the government and the general public, must implement strategies to stop the harmful effects of air pollution.","PeriodicalId":328612,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Respirasi","volume":"351 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125630695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Indonesia, LC is one of the top three malignancies. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the respiratory reflect changes in metabolism caused by disease and may be a biomarker of LC. Interleukin-23 (IL-23) has been known as a pro-inflammatory cytokine in the development and progression of cancer. This study aimed to identify levels of IL-23 and VOCs in LC patients.\u0000Methods: This study involved 40 LC patients and 42 controls. VOCs were taken by the subject exhaling their third deep breath into the sample bag, which was immediately analyzed using an E-nose-based device. As for the IL-23, the cytokine was taken from the blood serum and then analyzed using the ELISA method. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were performed to test data normality. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests were conducted for variables. Spearman correlation and heat map were used to find the correlation between the observed gases and IL-23.\u0000Results: The concentration of ozone (p = 0.000), ethanol (p = 0.000), formaldehyde (p = 0.000), toluene (p = 0.000), acetone (p = 0.000), ammonia (p = 0.000), ammonium (p = 0.001), nitrogen (p = 0.001) and methane (p = 0.000) in LC group differed with controls. The same outcome was also observed in comparing LC patients and control groups of IL-23 (p = 0.000). Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between serum IL-23 with formaldehyde (p = 0.029), toluene (p = 0.014), and ammonia (p = 0.028) and a negative correlation with nitrogen (p = 0.011). Compared to the control group, all types of LC were observed to have higher levels of IL-23.

A liver nodule biopsy revealed poorly differentiated carcinoma metastases. Histopathology of the left manus and frontal masses found granular cell tumors—negative immunohistochemistry on S-100 and myogenin. Ki-67 obtained a value of 5%. An X-ray and contrast multislice computerized tomography (MSCT) scan showed multiple metastatic nodules. Right bronchial biopsy forceps revealed a metastatic granular cell tumor. The patient was given docetaxel for six cycles.

A negative S-100 test does not rule out the diagnosis of granular cell tumors. Malignant lesions are more common in males, as in this case.
