The heterogeneity of the lung microbiome and its alteration are prevalently seen among chronic lung diseases patients. However, studies to date have primarily focused on the bacterial microbiome in the lung rather than fungal composition, which might play an essential role in the mechanisms of several chronic lung diseases. It is now well established that spp.

- A study on the long-term effects of COVID-19 in Indonesia found that 66.5% of survivors reported persistent symptoms, notably fatigue, cough, and muscle pain.
- The research was conducted through an online questionnaire among adult Indonesians who had recovered from the virus, with a focus on the correlation between health conditions and quality of life.
- Results indicated pneumonia as the most significant factor linked to persistent COVID-19 syndrome, highlighting the need for additional research to better understand and mitigate its impacts on health and well-being.
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the link between cardiac injury and various outcomes in COVID-19 pneumonia patients, focusing on mortality, ICU needs, ARDS, and disease severity.
- The analysis included data from 2389 patients across 13 studies and found that cardiac injury significantly increased the risk of death, ICU admission, and severe COVID-19, while its effect on ARDS was not statistically significant.
- The study concluded that cardiac injury is a serious concern in COVID-19 patients, correlating with worse health outcomes and higher troponin levels.
Correlation between Domestic Cigarette Smoke Exposure and Respiratory Complaints, Hospitalization and School Absence due to Respiratory Complains in the Indonesian Elementary School-Aged Children.
Int J Appl Basic Med Res
January 2018
Background: Over 43 million Indonesian children who are exposed to cigarette smoke are at risk of having health hazard and morbidities.
Aims: The aim of this study is to identify the correlation between cigarette smoke exposure and respiratory complaints, hospitalization, as well as school absence due to respiratory complaints in elementary school-aged Indonesian children.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in nonsmoking elementary school-aged children.
Background: The increasing prevalence of drug user in Indonesia is affecting the health sectors. The lungs health were affected by the use of the illicit drug. However, lung function among drug users is still unclear.

Therefore, identification of candidate genes and various gene polymorphisms have improved our understanding of COPD.
Objectives: Clarify the genes, including HIF1A, that contribute to the development of COPD.
Risk of chronic pulmonary emphysema from exposure to tobacco smoke varies widely from person to person, depending in part on the status of particular genes and acquired susceptibilities. Certain genes determine how cells activate and/or detoxify tobacco smoke products. We aimed to determine whether any genetic susceptibility exists in the development of emphysematous changes confirmed by chest computed tomography (CT).
