ABSTRAK
Derajat klinis dari reaksi hipersensitivitas dibedakan menjadi derajat ringan, derajat sedang, dan
derajat berat. Secara epidemiologi dikatakan prevalensi reaksi hipersensitivitas 1-2% dari
populasi penduduk dunia. Faktor risiko yang berkaitan dengan beratnya derajat klinis antara lain
usia tua, jenis kelamin, riwayat alergi/asma, dan allergen. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk
mengetahui gambaran derajat klinis terhadap faktor resiko pada pasien reaksi hipersensitivitas di
rumah sakit sanglah denpasar tahun 2012 hingga 2013. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan
studi deskriptif cross sectional. Data diperoleh secara sekunder melalui rekam medis yang
tercatat di Bagian Allergy dan Imunology Penyakit Dalam RSUP Sanglah. Analisis data
dilakukan secara deskriptif. Pada penelitian ini didapatkan 144 sampel. Jumlah jenis kelamin
yang didapatkan berimbang antara laki-laki dengan perempuan yaitu 73 pasien (50,7%) dan 71
pasien (49,3%). Derajat klinis berat didapatkan paling banyak pada laki-laki yaitu 24 pasien
(16,7%). Usia rata-rata sampel adalah 39,5 tahun. Derajat klinis berat ditemukan paling banyak
pada usia 41-60 tahun yaitu 16 pasien (11,1%). Jumlah pasien yang memiliki riwayat
allergy/asma lebih banyak memiliki derajat klinis berat yaitu 34 pasien (23,6%). Obat paling
banyak menyebabkan reaksi hipersensitivitas yaitu sebanyak 114 pasien (79,2%) dengan derajat
klinis berat yaitu 33 pasien (22,9%). Pasien dengan allergen makanan paling banyak mengalami
derajat klinis sedang yaitu sebanyak 12 pasien (8,3%). Allergen lain terjadi pada 7 pasien (4,9%)
dengan derajat klinis berat sebanyak 5 pasien (3,5%).

DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL DEGREE OF THE RISK FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS AT SANGLAH HOSPITAL, DENPASAR, IN 2012-2013

ABSTRACT

Clinical degree of hypersensitivity reactions can be divided into mild, moderate, and severe
degree. In epidemiology said the prevalence of hypersensitivity reactions 1-2 % of the world
population. Risk factors associated with the severity of clinical degrees include older age, sex,
history of allergy/asthma, and allergen. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical
degree of the risk factors in patients with hypersensitivity reactions in Sanglah hospital in 2012
to 2013. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Data obtained secondarily
through medical records listed in Allergy and Imunology division of Sanglah. The data were
analyzed descriptively. There are 144 samples in this study. The number of acquired gender
balanced between men with women that 73 patients (50.7%) and 71 patients (49.3%). Severe
clinical degrees obtained at most in men is 24 patients (16.7%). The average age of the sample
was 39.5 years. Severe clinical degrees found at most in the 41-60 years age is 16 patients
(11.1%). The number of patients who have a history of allergy/asthma have more severe clinical
degrees to 34 patients (23.6%). Drugs most likely to cause hypersensitivity reactions as many as
114 patients (79.2%) with severe clinical degree that 33 patients (22.9%). Patients with food
allergens most experienced with moderate clinical degrees were as many as 12 patients (8.3%).
Other Allergen occurred in 7 patients (4.9%) with severe clinical degrees by 5 patients (3.5%).

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is more frequent in China and Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, commonly with
advance stages at diagnosis and has a poor prognosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate epidemiology,
clinical characteristic and histopathology types of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the department of
Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery.This is a descriptive study that used data from medical record of Dr. M.
Djamil General Hospital in Padang during June 2010 to July 2013 and histopathology examination as confirmation.
The result demonstrated 44 cases found on that period, of which 52,27% was male and 47,72% was female, hence the
male and female ratio was 1,2 : 1. The age-range from 17 to 75 years old with incidence peak between 41 - 65 years
old. Clinical symptoms were neck mass 93,17%, followed by nasal obstruction 79,55 %, and audiological complaints
79,55% while clinical sign were cervical lymphadenopathy 90,91%, followed by hearing loss 79,55%, cranial nerve
palsy and lymphadenopathy metastases to fossa supraclavicular each subject 15,8%. Most of patients were classified
as stage IV 83,16%, with T4N2M0 15,91%. The histopathology type were nonkeratinizing carcinoma, undifferentiated
type had percentage 75%, followed by keratinizing SCC 13,64%, and nonkeratinizing carcinoma - differentiated type

Abstract. The development of science and technology in the field of healthcare increasingly
provides convenience in diagnosing respiratory system problem. Recording the breath sounds
is one example of these developments. Breath sounds are recorded using a digital stethoscope,
and then stored in a file with sound format. This breath sounds will be analyzed by health
practitioners to diagnose the symptoms of disease or illness. However, the breath sounds is not
free from interference signals. Therefore, noise filter or signal interference reduction system is
required so that breath sounds component which contains information signal can be clarified.
In this study, we designed a filter called a wavelet transform based filter. The filter that is
designed in this study is using Daubechies wavelet with four wavelet transform coefficients.
Based on the testing of the ten types of breath sounds data, the data is obtained in the largest
SNRdB bronchial for 74.3685 decibels.

1. Introduction
To make diagnosis of a human respiratory system, health practitioner or doctor uses a device called a
stethoscope. With it, medical practitioners can hear the sound of the lungs to diagnose a person's
physical condition and health. Breath sounds heard through the stethoscope, is still mixed with other
noises like the sound of the heart, skin friction with the stethoscope, and chest movements. It is
difficult for health practitioners to diagnose a person's physical condition and health. In signal
processing, other voices or extraneous noise is commonly called signal interference or noise.
The development of science and technology in the field of healthcare increasingly provide
convenience in diagnosing respiratory system problem. Breath sounds recording is one example of
these developments. Breath Sounds are recorded using a digital stethoscope, and then stored in a file
with sound format. As with conventional methods, respiratory sounds are not free from interference
signals. Therefore, filter noise or signal interference reduction is required so that breath sounds
components that contain information signal can be clarified. Research on reducing signal interference
had been done since the last few years, but has not been able to give a satisfying result.
Previous studies related to respiratory noise filter, including the separation of heart and lung sounds
from the breath sounds with modified spectro-temporal representation [1], and reduction of heart
sounds from lung sounds recordings using adaptive filter [2] have been carried out.

[3], the separation splits the non-stationary input signals (heart sounds) from the stationary part (lung
sounds) using a stationary-non-stationary wavelet transform filters [4], and the reduction of heart
sounds from lung sounds have been recorded at low and medium flow rate using wavelet transform
based filter [5] have also being done.
In this research, we applied wavelet transform based filter to reduce interference signals and white
noise in the breath sounds recording, so we get a clearer signal without losing important information
contained in the signal. With breath sounds recording filtered, health practitioner or doctor will get
more detailed information for a better diagnosing method.The difficulty of diagnosing the disease
through the breath sounds recording is that it is mixed with other noises which makes it difficult to
diagnose a person's physical condition and health. A wavelet transform based filter is used with
wavelet daubechies and global threshold in the breath sounds recording to produce a better breath
sounds signal for diagnosis of diseases in the respiratory. In short, this work attempts to reduce noise
so that the breath sounds recording can be used to provide a better diagnosis.

2. Methodology
2.1 Respiratory sounds
Respiratory sounds are all sounds related to respiration including breath sounds, adventitious sounds,
cough sounds, snoring sounds, sneezing sounds, and sounds from the respiratory muscles. Voiced
sounds during breathing are not included in respiratory sounds. [6].
Respiratory sounds can be classified into two groups: breath sounds and adventitious sound
(abnormal) [7]. Breath sounds produced from healthy subject’s chest called normal breath sounds.
Normal breath sounds include both the inspiration and expiration. Both occur when the air moves in
and out during regular breathing cycle. Adventitious sounds are additional respiratory sounds in the
breath sounds. This sound occurs unexpectedly during regular breathing cycle.
There are several types of abnormal breath sounds. The four most common types are rales, rhonchi,
wheezing, and stridor [8]. Rales are small clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs. They are
heard when a person breathes in (inhales). And are believed to occur when air opens in closed air
spaces. Rales can be further described as moist, dry, fine, and course. Rhonchi are sounds that
resemble snoring. They occur when air is blocked or air flow becomes rough through the large
airways. Wheezing are high-pitched sounds produced by narrowed airways. They are most often heard
when a person breathes out (exhales). Wheezing and other abnormal sounds can sometimes be heard
without a stethoscope. Stridor is wheeze-like sound heard when a person breathes. Usually it is due to
a blockage of airflow in the windpipe (trachea) or in the back of the throat. Fort the characteristics of
Lung Sound and Noise, the peak sound of normal lung is usually found at frequencies below 100 Hz,
where lung sound energy decreases sharply between 100-200 Hz, but can still be detected at or above
800 Hz with a sensitive tool [2]. According to Earis & Cheetham [9], noises such as the sound of the
respiratory muscles, chest motion sounds, heart sounds, and other low-frequency noise, have a
frequency between 50 to 150 Hz [9].
2.2 Wavelet transform
Fourier method specifies only the spectral content of a signal in the frequency domain. The
disappearance of time information during Fourier transformation for preservation during the incident
is not considered. This condition can be ignored if the signal is stationary. However, for stationary
signals such as speech, time and frequency data is important to avoid significant loss of information in
the signal. Wavelet analysis can be used as an alternative method to solve the problem in Fourier
method [10]. By using the concept of multi resolution wavelet analysis (for example, the
representation of time and frequency scaling) to produce precise decomposition of the signal to obtain
an accurate representation, detailed characteristics such as small discontinuities, similarity, and even
higher order derivation hidden by conventional Fourier analysis can be revealed.

Wavelet is a family of functions ψa,b(t) derived from a base wavelet ψ(t), called the "mother
wavelet", by dilation and translation [11], as shown in (1) as an example.
1 𝑡−𝑏
𝜓𝑎,𝑏 (𝑡) = 𝜓( ),𝑎 > 0, 𝑏 ∈  (1)
√ 𝑎 𝑎

Wavelet analysis is basically shifting and scaling a limited form of energy called the mother
wavelet ψ(t) of the desired signal. So, that the discrete wavelet transform can be written as in (2).
𝜓𝑗,𝑘 (𝑡) = 2𝑗⁄2 𝜓(2𝑗 𝑡 − 𝑘) (2)
2.3 Signal-to-noise ratio
Signal-to-noise ratio can be generally defined as the dimensionless ratio of signal power to the noise
power contained in a record (3) [12].
𝑃𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑙 2
𝑆𝑁𝑅 = =( ) (3)
𝑃𝑛𝑜𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑖𝑠𝑒

where
Psignal = mean of signal power
Pnoise = mean of noise power
Asignal= root mean square (RMS) of signal amplitude
Anoise = root mean square (RMS) of noise amplitude
2.4 General architecture of the proposed method
Explanation of the components contained in the general architecture as shown in figure 2 is as follows:
a. Respiratory voice recording file is used as input. Respiratory sound is a combination of sound
lungs and signal interference (noise).
b. Sounds can be played and printed out in the form of a signal.
c. Then respiratory sound is read by system and decomposed into an array of type byte and
stored in the data [].
d. Array Data [] is converted into the form of an array of type double.
e. Array Data [] repeatedly decomposed according to the specified level of decomposition,
produces two arrays, each array having half of the length of the data array []. The first array
called a low pass filter and a second array called a high pass filter.
f. In each array, apply wavelet transform to the coefficients.
g. Both arrays are reassembled in the data array [] with a low pass filter placed in the first half
and the high pass filter is placed at the end of the half.
h. Array Data [] is passed through a threshold, resulting in two arrays, array and the array of
respiratory sound signal noise.
i. Perform repeatedly reconstruction as many as the level of reconstruction that has been
assigned to each array.
j. Change the order in the data array [] of the previous half and half low pass filter high pass
filter, be alternating low pass filter high-pass filter to each array.
k. Reapply the wavelet transform coefficients of each array.
l. Array Data [] and is then converted from an array of type double into an array of type byte.
Audio formats and file name that has been set, is applied to the data [].
m. An array of data [signal] breathing sounds is rebuilt into a breathing sound file and the data
array [] noise rebuilt into a beam of noise.

3 Experiments, Results and Discussion


3.1 Data
The data used in this research is breath sounds records, available from Littmann company. The
existing data can be viewed as 10 different sounds with 10 different type of sounds. The data is
described as: (type, source) = (bronchial, left lower lobe), (coarse crackles, right lower lobe), (fine
crackles with deciduous bronchial, right middle lobe), (fine crackles, lung basis), (inspiratory stridor,
tracea), (normal tracheal, tracea interscapular), (normal vesicular, right and left lower lobe), (pleural
friction, right middle lobe), (rhonchus, right lower lobe), (wheezing, left lower lobe).
3.2 System analysis
Systems analysis aims to identify the system’s development. Analysis is needed as a basis for system
design. In this study, there is a five preprocess stage which is decomposition of the signal, the
threshold stage, reconstruction stage, and the final stage process.
To test the designed system, a scenario is prepared to measure the sound of respiratory filter and
the impact of the system with the objective and subjective criteria. Objective criteria is the signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) and signal display. While subjective criteria is the human auditory signal and the
noise which is being observed.

4 Conclusion
The experimental results showed that the biggest SNRdB value is 74.36847268923987 decibel which is
obtained from the reduction of bronchial. If the threshold value is too large, the noise cannot be
reduced from the breath sounds signal. Conversely, if the threshold value is too small, breath sounds
signal will loose a lot of important information.
As for our future work, we plan to utilize machine learning methods in order to increase the accuracy
of the breath sounds analysis. In addition, we are not going to use the filters that have the level of
decomposition and reconstruction greater than 2.
