Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnant women are among the most common health problems and may lead to serious complications for both the mother and the fetus. Physiological changes during pregnancy increase the risk of infection as well as recurrence of UTIs. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of risk factors and effective preventive strategies is essential. This study aims to analyze the risk factors and preventive measures for recurrent UTIs in pregnant women based on current literature. This study employed a narrative review approach by examining various scientific articles obtained from databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Garuda, and Neliti. The literature search was conducted using keywords relevant to the research topic. Results of the research showed that the main risk factors for UTIs in pregnant women include hormonal and anatomical changes, a history of previous UTIs, poor personal hygiene, sexual activity, and medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus. In addition, asymptomatic bacteriuria plays an important role in increasing the risk of complications. Effective preventive measures include routine screening, culture-based treatment of urine samples, health education, and the implementation of clean and healthy lifestyle practices. The occurrence and recurrence of UTIs in pregnant women are multifactorial in nature, requiring a comprehensive management approach to reduce risks and improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is common in areas with poor sanitation. In Indonesia, the prevalence of the disease is still high ranging from 16–72%, despite the elimination efforts that have been done. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of STH, nutritional status, and hemoglobin levels of elementary school-age children in of slum area in Makassar. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects were 33 elementary school-age children in one of the slum areas in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Stool samples were collected and examined using the Kato-Katz method. Hemoglobin levels were examined with the Azidemet hemoglobin method using capillary blood samples. Assessment of nutritional status was carried out anthropometrically using weight for height, height for age, and body mass index (BMI) for age as indicators. Results: The prevalence of STH in this study was 27%, all of them had low nutritional status. As many as 15% and 45% of subjects were severely wasted and wasted, respectively, based on the weight for height indication, 61% were wasted based on the BMI for age indicator, and 12% were stunted based on the height for age indicator. Ten percent of the subjects had low hemoglobin levels, none of them had STH. Conclusion: The STH prevalence of school-age children in one of the slum areas in Makassar is still high. Subjects with STH also experienced low nutritional status.

Abstract

Introduction: Based on 2018 Basic Health Research data, the proportion of fruits and vegetables consumption among the Indonesian population ≥ 5 years old is still less, namely 95.5%. Eating fruits and vegetables can maintain cognitive function and repair damaged brain cells. The research aimed to determine the relationship between fruits and vegetables consumption and cognitive function in elementary school children in Makassar. Methods: The research methodology is descriptive observational. The study sample size was 37 participants selected using a simple random sampling technique at SDN Borong Raya Makassar from September 2023 to October 2023. The independent variable was fruits and vegetables consumption, while the dependent variable in this study was cognitive function. Results: Data analysis used the SPSS statistical Chi-square test where p < 0.05. The research results show that children who consume enough fruits and vegetables have good cognitive development (71.43%). Conclusion: There is a relationship between fruits and vegetables consumption and cognitive function. Adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables can optimize children's cognitive development.
