Factors influencing pyoderma are low socioeconomic level, low education, low personal hygiene and unhygienic house. This study was conducted to assess the relation between risk factors of pyoderma and pyoderma incidence.Methods: This study used cross-sectional study design and was conducted from August–November 2013. The sample collection was done with multistage random sampling, where 196 primary school children in Jatinangor subdistrict were randomly taken to be admitted into this study. The data collection procedure consisted of physical examination and questionnaire filling. The data were statistically analyzed using independent T and chi-square test.Results: Upon examining 196 subjects, four were found with pyoderma. As such, the prevalence of pyoderma on primary school children in Jatinangor in 2013 was 2%. There was relation between personal hygiene and pyoderma incidence (p=0.041). Sex (p=0.623), healthy housing (p=0.097), socioeconomic level (p=0.742) and education level of parents (p=0.989) were not related with pyoderma.Conclusions: Personal hygiene is the risk factor that had relation with incidence of pyoderma.

Abstract

Background: Liposarcoma is the second highest soft tissue sarcoma in adults with prevalence of 15% to 25%. If the size of liposarcoma is very large, it may cause abdominal pain, weight loss, gastrointestinal bleeding, even kidney failure. Therefore, for early detection of liposarcoma, the characteristics of liposarcoma should be investigated. This study aimed to determine liposarcoma characteristics based on age, sex, location and histopathologic type according to WHO (World Health Organization) Classification of Tumors 2013.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted from August to October 2015 at the Department of Anatomic Pathology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. Data was obtained from database of patients with liposarcoma at the Department of Anatomic Pathology in the period of January 2010 to December 2014. The collected data was presented in the form of figures and tables.Results: Out of 102 cases, the percentage of liposarcoma was highest between the age of 50 and 59 years (31.37%), followed by the age of 40–49 years (28.43%). The percentage were slightly higher in males (54.9%) compared to females with a ratio of 1.22:1. Femur (23.52%), intraabdomen (22.55%) and retroperitoneum (11.76%) were the most common locations affected. The most common histopathologic subtype was myxoid liposarcoma (52.95%) exceeding a half of the total cases.Conclusions: Liposarcoma most likely occurs in the age range of 40–60 years, the percentage is slightly higher in males, and abdomen and lower extremities are the most common location affected. Myxoid liposarcoma is the most common subtype.Â
