Abstract

Introduction : Ocular toxocariasis (OT) is an eye parasitosis due to incidental ingestion of Toxocara cati or canis larvae. Although mostly affects young children, it can also occur in older individuals. It is usually uniocular with various presentations. Case Illustration : A 69-year-old woman came with a chief complaint of deteriorating vision and pain in her left eye (LE)2 weeks prior to the visit, accompanied by floaters, redness, itchiness, and glare. She had a contact history with neighborhood dogs. Her best corrected visual acuity (VA) was 6/12 in the right eye (RE) and 3/60 in the LE. The intraocular pressure of LE was 27mmHg. Examinations of the LE found corneal edema, keratic precipitates, worm-like foreign bodies that moved in the anterior chamber, lens and vitreous opacity, and obscured fundus. The ultrasound showed a membrane-like lesion and no vitreomacular traction. The examination of the RE was unremarkable. We performed prompt foreign body extraction with local anesthesia and prescribed oral albendazole, topical and oral antibiotics, and steroids afterward. The investigation of the specimen revealed Toxocara larvae. There was no VA improvement after 1 month of close observation. Discussion : The OT diagnosis is based on clinical findings and a history of exposure to dogs or cats, soil, and consuming raw or undercooked meat. The gold standard for diagnosis is specimen biopsy. While no acceptable treatment regimen exists, the combination of anthelmintics and corticosteroids appears useful in some cases. Conclusion : Clinical presentation, parasitologic confirmation, and close contact with pets may be key elements to making the diagnosis.

One of the health problems that the office workers frequently face is called low back pain myogenic. Which one of its primary symptoms that may happen to a person is feeling pain in their lower back. The pain that is being felt may be caused a wrong working position for a long period of time. The focus of this study is to analyze the causes that lead to the growth of myogenic low back pain among the staffs at the Catholic University of De La Salle Manado. The applied method of this research is quantitative method using a cross sectional study. There were 60 people as the samples or participants who matched the inclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using univariat, bivariate, and multivariate. The results of the chi square analysis showed that the variables have an impact on low back pain myogenic with p < 0.05 were age (p = 0.025), the body mass index (p = 0.047), working hours (p = 0.037), work position (p = 0.000), and screen time duration (p = 0.012). In contrast, the variables that doesn’t have any relationship to myogenic low back pain was the gender (p = 0.528). The further research was conducted using the logistic regression which showed that the factor that had the biggest impact, was the employee’s age, the body mass index, work position and screen time duration. It is highly recommended to the staffs to work with ergonomic positions to avoid the low back pain myogenic.

Abstract

Malaria remains a global issue. Indonesia ranks second in the highest number of cases in Asia. Malaria risk factors include host characteristics (age, gender, education), behavior (habit of going out at night, habit of working at night, habit of sleeping outside at night) and environmental factors (mosquito netting, bed net use, insect repellent use). This study aims to analyze the risk factors for malaria in Mimika Baru District, Mimika Regency, Central Papua. This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study conducted on Desember 2023. The sampling technique involved 320 respondents using cluster sampling and purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate, bivariate (chi-square and T test), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression) analysis with SPSS. Out of 320 respondents, 117 (36.6%) tested positive for malaria and 203 (63.4%) tested negative. There were associations between gender (p=0.005), education (p=0.023), nighttime outdoor habits (p=0.025), nighttime work habits (p=0.000), sleeping outdoors (p=0.023), mosquito netting installation (p=0.012), bed net use (p=0.000), and insect repellent use (p=0.014) with malaria incidence. Age was not associated (p=0.302). The dominant factor was nighttime work habits (p=0.000; OR=13.898; 95% CI=6.447-29.959). Gender and education were significantly associated with malaria incidence, while age was not. Nighttime outdoor habits, nighttime work habits, and sleeping outdoors, as well as environmental factors were also significantly associated with malaria incidence in Mimika Baru
