Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the implementation of rapid, safe, and non-invasive body temperature screening methods to facilitate early identification of potentially infectious individuals. Non-contact infrared thermometers have therefore been widely adopted for this purpose. However, concerns have been raised regarding the accuracy of temperature measurements obtained from different anatomical sites, particularly in the context of increased reliance on alternative measurement locations such as the back of the hand (dorsum manus regio). This study aimed to compare body temperature measurements obtained from the forehead and dorsum manus using a non-contact infrared thermometer, with axillary temperature measured by a digital thermometer as a reference. An analytical observational study with repeated measures was conducted among 70 third-year medical students at Universitas Baiturrahmah. Temperature measurements were performed at the forehead, dorsum manus, and axilla, and participants were divided into control and intervention groups based on environmental measurement conditions. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant differences between forehead temperature and both dorsum manus and axillary temperatures, while no significant difference was observed between dorsum manus and axillary measurements. Independent t-tests showed no significant differences between control and intervention groups. These findings suggest that dorsum manus temperature measurements may approximate axillary values under stable conditions in healthy young adults, although caution is required when generalizing to other populations or clinical settings.

Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem worldwide, particularly among adolescent girls. This group is at high risk of anemia due to menstruation during adolescence, which leads to blood loss. Additionally, the increased need for iron in adolescent girls contributes to their vulnerability to anemia. Education about anemia and its prevention, as well as supplementation with iron tablets, is one solution to prevent and reduce the prevalence of anemia in females. Pesisir Selatan, a district in West Sumatra Province, recorded an increase in anemia prevalence in 2019. Based on this, it is necessary to provide education on anemia and its prevention to adolescent girls in the region. This counseling activity aimed to improve the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls regarding anemia. The activity consisted of pre-tests, counseling sessions, and post-tests. Counseling was conducted using lecture methods and interactive discussions with participants. Based on the evaluation of pre-test and post-test results, it was found that the counseling method was effective in increasing participants' knowledge. This was evidenced by a significant increase in participants' knowledge about anemia (p=0.004). The number of participants with good knowledge increased from 3 individuals (13.6%) to 7 individuals (31.8%), and none of the participants had poor knowledge after the counseling session. However, it was found that the counseling method did not significantly improve participants' attitudes towards anemia. In conclusion, although it did not affect participants' attitudes, the counseling method effectively enhanced their knowledge about anemia and is expected to help prevent anemia among adolescent girls

Abstract

Latar belakang: Pubertas prekoks, khususnya central precocious puberty (CPP), semakin sering dilaporkan dan berhubungan dengan konsekuensi jangka panjang. Vitamin D berperan dalam regulasi sumbu hipotalamus–hipofisis–gonad (HPG), metabolisme tulang, dan fungsi reproduksi, namun bukti hubungan dengan pubertas dini masih bervariasi. Tujuan: Meninjau secara sistematis hubungan antara status vitamin D dan pubertas prekoks/CPP pada anak. Metode: Tinjauan ini mengikuti pedoman PRISMA 2020. Pencarian literatur dilakukan di PubMed, Scopus, dan EBSCOhost untuk artikel berbahasa Inggris tahun 2014–2024 dengan populasi anak usia 5–12 tahun, penilaian serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], luaran pubertas prekoks/CPP, dan desain observasional. Sepuluh studi disertakan. Hasil: Mayoritas studi melaporkan kadar 25(OH)D lebih rendah dan prevalensi defisiensi vitamin D lebih tinggi pada anak perempuan dengan CPP dibanding kontrol. Kadar vitamin D rendah sering berhubungan dengan peningkatan risiko CPP, maturasi tulang lebih cepat, dan indeks massa tubuh lebih tinggi, meskipun beberapa studi tidak menemukan perbedaan bermakna. Obesitas, gaya hidup sedentari, paparan sinar matahari, dan faktor genetik tampak memengaruhi asosiasi ini. Kesimpulan: Status vitamin D merupakan salah satu faktor dalam regulasi waktu pubertas, tetapi bukan determinan tunggal. Optimalisasi kadar vitamin D dan intervensi gaya hidup dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai bagian pendekatan komprehensif, sementara bukti penggunaan vitamin D sebagai terapi tunggal pada CPP masih terbatas.

Abstract

Traumativ Brain Injury (TBI) triggers multiple secondary injury processes, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, BBB disruption, and impaired autophagy. These mechanisms contribute to progressive neuronal damage and functional decline. Vitamin D has emerged as a potential multi-target neuroprotective agent due to its regulatory roles in immune signaling, oxidative balance, neuronal survival, and autophagy pathways. This systematic review synthesized preclinical evidence evaluating the effects of Vitamin D supplementation in animal models of TBI. A comprehensive search of PubMed, OVID, and ProQuest identified six eligible studies. Across diverse dosing regimens and formulations, Vitamin D consistently improved key TBI outcomes. Reported benefits included reduced apoptosis, decreased neuroinflammation, attenuation of oxidative stress, preservation of BBB integrity, restoration of autophagy flux, and enhanced cognitive performance. Mechanistically, Vitamin D influenced several pathways, including Nrf2 activation, TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB suppression, mTOR and TRPM2 normalization, and improved microglial polarization. Although methodological quality varied, most studies demonstrated moderate rigor and supported the neuroprotective actions of Vitamin D. Heterogeneity in injury models, dosing strategies, and outcome measures limits direct comparison and highlights the need for standardized experimental approaches. Overall, current preclinical evidence indicates that Vitamin D confers robust neuroprotection following TBI. Further studies examining its mechanistic pathways, optimal therapeutic windows, and translational potential are warranted to inform future clinical applications.
