Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the foremost cause of mortality worldwide, with hypertension being the most important modifiable risk factor. Although teachers play an important role in health education, evidence on CVD risk factors among teachers, particularly biology teachers, remains limited. This study aimed to describe CVD risk factors and explore their association with hypertension among biology teachers in Gorontalo. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 39 members of the Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) biology teacher in Gorontalo City. Data were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations. Association between categorical variables were analyzed using the Chi-square / Fisher's exact test, along with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Most participants were female (87.2%) and aged ≥40 years (66.7%). The prevalence of hypertension, overweight/obesity, and central obesity was 59.0%, 61.5%, and 71.8%, respectively. Insufficient physical activity was identified in 43.6% of participants, while daily consumption of sweet foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) seasonings remained common. Bivariate analyses showed no significant association between investigated risk factors and hypertension. However, a higher risk of hypertension was observed among those aged ≥40 years (OR = 3.60; 95% CI: 0.73–18.41) and those with mental health problems, although the associations were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Biology teachers in Gorontalo had a high burden of CVD risk factors, particularly hypertension, overweight/obesity, central obesity, and unhealthy dietary habits. These findings support strengthening health promotion, routine screening, and implementing the GERMAS and CERDIK programs in schools to prevent CVD.

Abstract

Background: A fistula is defined as an abnormal connection that connects two hollow spaces of the body. Fistula are divided into two categories, internal and external. Abdominal TB can mimicks other diseases including Enterocutaneous fistula that occur due to chron’s disease, malignancy, typhoid or radiation exposure. Tuberculosis is a rare cause of enterocutaneous fistula increasing the needs of clinicians to diagnose TB in an emergency manner. Purpose: To assess clinical manifestation of enterocutaneous fistula in patient with abdominal tuberculosis, and to determine the best emergency diagnosis tools in the progress of diagnosing abdominal tuberculosis. Method: This literature review is guided by the PICOS framework, encompassing materials published from 2000 to 2024. Data were obtained from diverse sources such as PubMed Central, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Elsevier (SCOPUS), scientific journals, articles, and books. The analysis proceeded through three stages: data reduction, presentation, and formulation of conclusions. Studies fulfilling the inclusions criteria were selected. Results: Patient with TB could have enterocutaenous fistula as one of its clinical manifestations, therefore. This study concludes that multiplex PCR shows an outstanding result for its specificity making it highly effective in ruling out non-tubercular diseases with minimum false positive. Conclusion: Enterocutaneous fistula in intestinal tuberculosis often presents without clear thoracic imaging of pulmonary TB, complicating diagnosis. Abdominal TB's non-specific symptoms can mimic other diseases, making CT scans and ultrasonography useful, though not definitive. Laparoscopy, combined with histological examination, remains the most reliable diagnostic tool. Laboratory tests like ADA levels, PCR, and culture are essential in confirming the diagnosis. A diagnostic algorithm and early anti-tubercular therapy can help when test results are inconclusive.
