Abstract

Approximately 2 billion people, equivalent to half of the world's population, suffer from toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that infects cats as its definitive host. Not only cats, T. gondii can also infect animals such as chickens, cows, goats, pigs, and sheep that act as intermediate hosts, including humans. Both feral and pet cats have the potential to be infected with T. gondii. Toxoplasmosis infection in humans can cause various disorders and diseases such as obertus, encephalomyelitis, chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus in newborns, and infertility in women. This activity aims to improve the participants' understanding in terms of pet cat care and effective handling of stray cats in preventing toxoplasmosis infection. The stages of activities carried out began with pretest, socialisation, discussion, posttest, and documentation of activities. The results of this activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and understanding related to toxoplasmosis, which can be seen from the increase in post-test scores compared to the pre-test scores.

Abstract

The number of filariasis cases in Central Kalimantan increased in 2021, with 49 cases of chronic filariasis reported. Filariasis is a chronic infectious disease caused by infection with three species of microfilariae parasites, namely Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, and Wuchereria bancrofti, transmitted by mosquitoes from five genera: Anopheles, Mansonia, Culex, Aedes, and Amigeres. The transmission of filariasis is influenced by several factors, including the presence of microfilaria-positive individuals, vector density, community behavior, and ecological factors that affect vector density. Regional characteristics also play a role as supporting factors for the reproduction of Mansonia spp. as filariasis vectors. This study aims to determine the distribution of Mansonia spp. larvae habitats and identify Mansonia spp. larvae species in Henda Village, Pulang Pisau District. The study employs a descriptive method with cross-sectional sampling techniques to identify Mansonia spp. larvae in Henda Village, Pulang Pisau District. The criteria for sampling Mansonia spp. larvae that can be reached for collection and sample size estimation in this study are all Mansonia spp. larvae found during the study based on the coordinates determined in Henda Village, Pulang Pisau District. The results of this study indicate that the habitat of Mansonia spp. larvae was found in fish ponds characterized by abundant aquatic vegetation. The number of larvae found was 35, distributed across two locations: location a = 33 larvae and location b = 2 larvae. The habitat of Mansonia spp. larvae can be found in fish ponds characterized by the presence of aquatic plants. The presence of Mansonia spp. larvae requires attention in terms of vector control efforts, particularly regarding the transmission of filariasis in Central Kalimantan.

Abstract

The ear requires proper care to function as part of the auditory system. However, many people are unaware of maintaining ear health. A contributing factor is a lack of knowledge. Cotton buds disrupt the ear's natural cleaning mechanism by pushing earwax deeper, causing cerumen impaction. This study examined the relationship between knowledge levels and cerumen impaction using a cross-sectional approach with proportionate stratified random sampling. A total of 162 respondents were involved, including 76 students from the 2021 intake and 86 from the 2022 intake. The results showed 80 respondents (49.4%) had good knowledge, 62 (38.3%) sufficient knowledge, and 20 (12.3%) insufficient knowledge. A total of 53 respondents experienced cerumen impaction. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between knowledge level and cerumen impaction. There is a relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of cerumen impaction in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Palangka Raya University

Abstract

Potensi vektor malaria di Palangka Raya perlu diperhatikan mengenai habitat alami Anopheles sp. Malaria masih menjadi masalah kesehatan yang serius di Indonesia. Kasus malaria pernah terlaporkan di Kota Palangka Raya tepatnya di Kecamatan Bukit Batu. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis distribusi  geografis nyamuk Anopheles spp. di Kota Palangka Raya. Total Anopheles sp. yang ditemukan di Palangka Raya sebesar 141 dari  dua spesies nyamuk An. barbirotris, dan An. Vagus. Spesies Anopheles sp yang ditemukan di Kota Palangka Raya yaitu An. vagus dan An. barbirostris. yang hanya tersebar di Kelurahan Tangkiling dan Tumbang Rungan. Metode animal bait trap paling efektif menangkap nyamuk An. vagus dan An. barbirostris dibandingkan metode lain. Sebaran Anopheles di Kota Palangka Raya hanya cocok di dua lokasi tersebut.

Abstract

Background: Pediculosis capitis in Indonesia is often also called mites. Pediculosis capitis usually attacks the child population in the age group of 6-12 years. Pediculosis capitis easily attacks children, this is because children still do not understand and pay attention to hygiene. Factors that increase the risk of developing pediculosis capitis are gender, frequency of washing hair, sharing combs and hair accessories, sharing beds, long hair, and hair type. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence of pediculosis capitis in orphanage children in Palangka Raya City. Method: This type of research uses a descriptive method with a cross sectional design. Cross sectional research is a type of research that measures data at one time and the research subjects are observed only once at a time. Results: In this study, the prevalence of pediculosis capitis infestation was found in 36 girls (47.3%) and 4 boys (5.2%). Conclusion: Research conducted on children in four orphanages in Palangka Raya City found that the prevalence of pediculosis capitis was 50% of the 76 population.
