Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2 which spreads rapidly throughout the world and causes clinical manifestations in various organs, especially in the lungs. Clinical symptoms arise from asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe, and critical symptoms in patients with or without comorbid disease. Chest X-ray examination is one of the modalities in the management of COVID-19 which is cheap and easy to do.Methods: This study was performed by analyzing medical record data of confirmed COVID-19 patients from March to December 2020. This study aimed to examine the relationship between chest X-ray and the degree of disease severity.Results: The results showed that from the examined 542 total samples, the highest number was found in the age group of 40-49 years old (23.6%), women (53%), mild degree of COVID-19 (67.9%), normal chest X-ray (54.6%), predominance on the lower zone of the lung, peripheral and bilateral on abnormal chest X-ray, no comorbid (56.3%), hypertensive in comorbid disease (26.6%). There was a significant relationship between chest X-ray and comorbidity towards COVID-19 severity (p = 0.000).Conclusion:Chest X-ray can determine disease severity, therefore it can be used as the first modality for triage and treatment evaluation in COVID-19 patients.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence rates are increasing rapidly, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. There is a relationship between TB and DM that are very prominent, which is the prevalence of pulmonary TB with DM increased by 20 times compared with pulmonary TB without diabetes. Chest X-ray picture of TB patients with DM is atypical lesion. However, there are contradictories of pulmonary TB lesion on chest radiograph of DM patients. Nutritional status has a close relationship with the morbidity of DM, as well as TB.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the lesions of TB on the chest radiograph of patients who su?er from DM with their Body Mass Index (BMI) in Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung.Material and Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Radiology RSHS Bandung between October 2014 - February 2015. We did a consecutive sampling of chest radiograph and IMT of DM patients with clinical diagnosis of TB, then the data was analysed by Chi Square test to determine the relationship between degree of lesions on chest radiograph of pulmonary TB on patients who have DM with their BMI.Results: The results showed that adult patients with active pulmonary TB with DM mostly in the range of age 51-70 years old, equal to 62.22%, with the highest gender in men, equal to 60%. Chest radiograph of TB in patients with DM are mostly seen in people who are obese, which is 40% and the vast majority of lesions are minimal lesions that is equal to 40%.Conclusions: There is a signifcant association between pulmonary TB lesion degree with BMI, with p = 0.03

Background Ventilator􀁖associated pneumonia (VAP) is anosocomial infection in patients who have received mechanicalventilation (MV), either by endotracheal intubation ortracheostomy, for more than 48 hours. YAP represents 80% ofall hospital􀁖acquired pneumonias. VAP incidence varies from5.1 %􀁖33.3%. The modified clinical pulmonary infection scoreis a criteria for diagnosing suspected YAP and typically includesradiographic evidence. YAP is associated with significantmorbidity and mortality.Objective To determine the relationship between chest x􀁖rayfindings and outcomes in children Mth suspected VAP.Methods This retrospective study was held in Dr. Kariadi Hospitalfrom January - December 2010. Data was collected from medicalrecords of pediatric ICU (PICU) patients with suspected VAP.Chest x􀁖ray findings and patient outcomes were recorded. X􀁖rayfindings were assessed by the on􀁖duty radiologist. Chi square testwas used for statistical analysis.Results Subjects were 30 children consisting of 14 males and 16females. Patient outcomes were 23 patients survived and 7 patientsdied. Chest x􀁖ray findings were categorized into the followinggroups and compared to patient survivability: diffuse infiltrates76.7% (OR􀁗0.694; P􀁗0.532; 95% CI 0.102 to 4.717), localhedinfiltrates 13.3% (OR􀁗4.200; P􀁗 0.225; 95% CI 0.470 t037.49),and no infiltrates 10% (OR􀁗 1.222; P􀁗 0.436; 95% CI 0.593 to0.926). None of the x􀁖ray findings had a significant correlationto patient outcomes.Conclusion There was no significant relationship between chestx􀁖ray findings and outcomes in children with suspected VAP.[Paediatr rndones. 2012;52:233-8].

Asthma is a chronic inflamation of respiratory tract which cause bronchial hypereactivity to some triggers with dispneu as the main symptomp. Stress and emotional disturbance like anxiety can be the trigger of asthma attack. This research is to find out the relationship between anxiety level and the frequency of dispneu in asthma bronchial patients at SMF Pulmo, dr. Soebandi General Hospital, Jember. This research used a cross sectional observational analytical method and HARS questionare. Based on our observation to 30 patients, Chi square analytical test showed 0,000 significancy level with p < 0,05. It means that there is a relationship of anxiety levels with the frequency of dispneu in asthma bronchial patients at SMF Pulmo, dr.Soebandi General Hospital, Jember. Keywords: anxiety, dispneu, asthma bronchial

The aim of this study was to determine the Fe and Zn concentrations in some leafy vegetables (cabbage, spinach, celery and lettuce) and in their growing soil collected from sites with different industrial activity; in fruiting body of wild edible mushrooms (Armillariella mellea) and in their substrate (soil) collected at different distances by a metal smelter, by using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique. A quantitative evaluation of the relationship of Fe and Zn uptake by the vegetables and mushrooms from soil was made by calculating the coefficient accumulation Ka. The results reveal that lettuce is a accumulator of Fe and Armillariella mellea is a accumulator of Zn.

Single crystals of the so far unknown compounds KCuGd2Mo4O16 (I) and KCuTb2Mo4O16 (II) have been prepared by flux technique. The compounds crystallize with monoclinic symmetry. space group C62h-C2 /c with (I): a = 5.278(2), b = 12.666(5), c = 19.604(14) Å; β = 92.76(6)°; (II): a = 5.259(13), b = 12.616(3), c = 19.556(9) Å, β = 92.93(4)°, Z = 4. Molybdenum exhibits tetrahedral coordination. The surroundings of copper can be described by distorted tetrahedra, capped by two more distant oxygen atoms, and the rare earth ions show a square antiprism. Potassium is inside an irregular polyhedron. The relationship of the structures of (I) and (II) is discussed with respect to the KLnMo2O8 type compounds. Coulomb term calculations of the lattice energy indicate an oxidation state of copper higher than CuI.
