Abstract

Introduction: The premature rupture of membranes (PROM) before the onset of labor, characterized by the painless leakage of fluid from the vagina, can lead to fetal distress and increase the risk of cesarean section. This study analyzed the microbial patterns and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) levels in cases of PROM. Methods: This was an observational study with cross-sectional design. Samples were collected from 60 pregnant women diagnosed with PROM who underwent examination and treatment at St. Khadijah I Hospital in Makassar in November 2023. Statistical analysis was performed using the Independent Samples T-Test for microbial patterns and MMP-9 levels. Results: The MMP-9 level in PROM group was significantly higher (1706,78 ± 386,36) compared to non-PROM group (1328,20 ± 1556,22) with p = 0.006. For microbial pattern, E. coli was the predominant bacteria in PROM group (72,0%) compared to non-PROM group (28,0%) with p = 0.004. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that high MMP-9 level and predominant E. coli presence in the vaginal swab may increase the risk of PROM.

Abstract

The prevalence of adolescents who spend >5 hours per day playing games has a higher risk of developing sleep disorders. Gaming addiction can cause sleep deprivation and the inability to concentrate, which can lead to attention disorders and impulsive behavior. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design that aims to determine the relationship of sleep quality in adolescent gamers to impaired attentional function at SMP Negeri 30 Makassar which was conducted in January 2023. The total subject in the study was 64 people. Most of the subject had a duration of playing games of 3-6 hours per day, which totaled 35 (54,6%) people. Gamers who have abnormal sleep quality are 43 (67,2%). We found that the longer duration of gaming caused the sleep quality to decrease (p-value=0,032). There was a significant relationship between the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score with the visual attention test score (p-value=0,001) and the digit span word test score (p-value=0,006). This study concludes that poor sleep quality is associated with impaired attentional function in the accuracy and reaction domain and impaired attentional function in the working memory domain.

Abstract

Background: Malaria elimination remains a pressing global health priority, yet progress is hindered by interconnected human-driven factors that sustain residual transmission. Objectives: This review aims to integrate and analyze key factors driving residual malaria transmission, particularly non-adherence to anti-malarial medication, relapse of Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum infections, and the persistence of asymptomatic parasite reservoirs. Methods: A narrative review was conducted by synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed studies, including observational studies, clinical trials, and program evaluations. Relevant articles were identified through PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. Results: Demographic, behavioral, and health system factors were consistently associated with incomplete treatment, which in turn doubled relapse risk and extended the duration of gametocyte carriage. Biological factors, such as dormant hypnozoites and CYP2D6 polymorphisms that reduce primaquine metabolism, increased the likelihood of recurrent infections. Additionally, asymptomatic carriers disproportionately younger and mobile populations sustained transmission beyond the reach of routine surveillance. Unlike previous reviews that examined these factors separately, this review integrates them into a unified framework, emphasizing their synergistic effects on residual transmission and identifying leverage points for targeted interventions. Conclusion: Addressing residual malaria transmission requires coordinated strategies, including community-supervised or directly observed radical cure regimens, genotype-informed dosing strategies, molecular surveillance for asymptomatic infections, and culturally tailored adherence support. These interventions are essential to strengthen malaria elimination programs and advance progress toward national and global goals by 2030.

Abstract

Background: Postmenopausal women are susceptible to vaginal infections due to hormonal changes that alter the vaginal microbiota, potentially leading to fluor albus even in the absence of symptoms. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence of Fluor Albus and assess its relationship with age, age of menopause, and duration of menopause in postmenopausal women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2024 at Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. A total of 35 postmenopausal women were selected through total sampling, excluding those with chronic illnesses, vaginal symptoms, recent antibiotic use, or vaginal cleansing. Data were collected through participant-completed forms and laboratory examinations using KOH smear and Gram staining to detect the presence of Candida and pathogen bacteria. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests. Results: The prevalence of fluor albus in postmenopausal women in this study was 68.6%. There was no statistically significant relationship between age (0.628), age of menopause (0.150), or duration of menopause (0.269) with the incidence of fluor albus. Conclusion: The prevalence of fluor albus among postmenopausal women in this study was high and was not related with age, menopausal age and duration of menopause, underlining the importance of regular reproductive health screening in the postmenopausal group.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease in communities exposed to environmental heavy metals represents not only a biological problem but also a public health challenge closely linked to limitations in health literacy. While the pathogenic role of Porphyromonas gingivalis and the toxic effects of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and Hg contribute to inflammation and periodontal tissue damage, insufficient health literacy constrains individuals’ capacity to recognize risks, adopt preventive behaviors, and engage in effective disease prevention strategies. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the PEOS framework, with article searches in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. Of the 512 articles identified, 20 met the inclusion criteria (2015–2023) and were analyzed through data charting and quality assessment. Results: Heavy metals have been shown to increase the risk of periodontitis through immune suppression, oxidative stress, and changes in the oral microbiota. P. gingivalis enhances pathogenesis by disrupting epithelial defenses and triggering chronic inflammation. Increasing health literacy has been shown to be influential in encouraging preventative behaviors and managing environmental exposure risks. Conclusion: Strengthening health literacy is a central and unifying strategy in reducing periodontal disease risk in populations exposed to environmental heavy metals. Integrating biologically informed risk communication with community-based, literacy-sensitive health promotion interventions enhances prevention efforts against periodontal disease associated with P. gingivalis in high-risk communities

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever remains a major public health problem in tropical regions, including Indonesia, where vector control relies heavily on synthetic larvicides that pose environmental and health concerns. Plant-based larvicides have emerged as promising alternatives; however, comparative evidence regarding the influence of solvent polarity and leaf developmental stage on larvicidal efficacy remains limited. Objectives: This study evaluated the larvicidal activity of young and old castor bean leaf extracts obtained using different solvents against Aedes sp. larvae. Method: A laboratory-based experimental study was conducted following WHO guidelines for mosquito larvicide testing. Young and old leaves of castor were extracted separately using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and distilled water through multistage maceration. Third-instar Aedes sp. larvae were exposed to graded concentrations (75–200 ppm) of each extract, with 25 larvae per treatment and three replications. Larval mortality was recorded hourly for 24 hours. Probit analysis was used to determine LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values with 95% confidence intervals, and differences among treatments were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). Results: All extracts exhibited larvicidal activity against Aedes sp., with efficacy varying according to solvent type and leaf age. Ethanol extracts of old leaves produced the highest larval mortality, while ethyl acetate extracts of young leaves showed the lowest LC₅₀ values. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids in most extracts. LC₅₀ values ranged from 131.403 to 410.225 ppm, whereas LC₉₀ estimates were substantially higher and exceeded the tested concentration range, indicating extrapolation beyond observed data.  Conclusion: The larvicidal effectiveness of castor leaf extracts against Aedes sp. is influenced by both solvent polarity and leaf developmental stage. Old leaves extracted with ethanol and young leaves extracted with ethyl acetate demonstrated comparatively higher larvicidal potential. These findings support the potential of castor as a botanical larvicide, although further studies incorporating standard larvicide controls, quantitative phytochemical analysis, and field validation are required before operational application.   Keywords: Aedes sp; ricinus communis linn; castor
