Abstract

This study aimed to identify the best forecasting model and evaluate if time (in months and years) is a predictor for Myocardial Infarction cases in the Philippines. The research design was quantitative research, specifically descriptive study design. Secondary data on monthly reported cases of myocardial infarction for the past five years (November 2018-November 2023) from Google Trends was utilized. Microsoft Excel and SPSS were the software used to obtain results. Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Smoothing Method (ESM) were the forecasting techniques used in this study. At the same time, Mean, Standard Deviation, Analysis of Variance, and Independent sample t-test were the statistical tools utilized for both descriptive and inferential analyses. Results revealed that the mean level of cases reported for the past five years was 54. Also, according to SMA and ESM, the forecasted cases for the next succeeding month (December 2023) were 66 and 61, respectively. Results also showed that the Mean Squared Error (MSE) value of SMA is lower than ESM, making SMA a better forecasting method. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the reported cases when grouped according to year, with Year 5 having the highest number of cases and Year 1 having the lowest. Further, there was no significant difference between the SMA and ESM forecasted cases. Furthermore, time (year and month) significantly predicted the number of myocardial infarction cases reported in the Philippines.

Abstract

his study aimed to determine the correlation between the presence of parasites in soil and the nutritional status of children aged 3 to 5 at Purok 15 Barangay Tigatto, Buhangin, Davao City. The research design was descriptive and correlational. The researchers gathered the weight and height of children aged 3 to 5 in Purok 15 of Barangay Tigatto, Davao City. Researchers identified the collected soil samples using a systematic sampling technique. Further, the study used Cobb's method to decant and sieve for detecting parasites. The weight and height were calculated to get the BMI. The mean and standard deviation were used to evaluate the nutritional status of the children and the level of parasites. Furthermore, Pearson r was used to determine the relationship between soil-transmitted helminths and the nutritional status of children aged 3 to 5. Results showed that out of 25 samples, 32% of soil samples got positive results with an infectious parasite (Strongyloides stercoralis), while 68% of soil samples were negative from the parasite. Participants' weight (kgs) and height (cm) are normal. In line with this, the BMI of both male and female participants is normal. Also, results showed that the level of the parasites is very low. Moreover, the relationship between the soil-transmitted helminths did not significantly influence the nutritional status of children aged 3 to 5. In conclusion, the soil-transmitted helminths do not affect the nutritional status of children aged 3 to 5. Hence, other factors may influence the nutritional status of children aged 3 to 5. Moreover, since the relationship between STH and the nutritional status of children is not significant, the presence or absence of STH in the latrine area does not affect the nutritional status of children under 3 to 5 years old. Thus, immediate action toward STH elimination could prevent the production of more parasites that could lead to a parasite-free environment.

Abstract

Cockroaches are resilient insects that thrive in various environments, including public markets. These creatures can act as mechanical vectors for intestinal helminths, posing a risk to human health. This study aimed to identify and measure the infestation rate of intestinal helminths in cockroaches from Bankerohan Public Market and Agdao Public Market in Davao City. Cockroaches were collected using specialized traps via the “catch-and-release” method, and the presence of intestinal parasites on their external surfaces was determined. The study found that cockroaches from both markets harbored Hookworm and Ascaris lumbricoides, with Ascaris lumbricoides having the highest frequency and infestation rate among the entire population of cockroaches gathered from both markets. The infestation rate of Ascaris lumbricoides was higher in the Bankerohan public market compared to the Agdao public market; however, the findings reveal that there is no correlation between the frequency of the parasites and the public market studied, indicating that the occurrence of the parasites cannot be attributed to the location of the public markets. The study highlights the need for improved sanitation practices and awareness to control parasite transmission through cockroaches, which can serve as vectors for these pathogens.

Abstract

This study assesses lived experiences and measures working students' intelligence scores enrolled in Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science Program at the University of Mindanao last 1st semester, S.Y. 2022-2023. This study employs a mixed-method approach, specifically a concurrent triangulation strategy of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Further, this study used a survey questionnaire to get quantitative data and conducted in-depth interviews to get qualitative data. Based on the quantitative result, participants have high intelligence scores, and it is oftentimes manifested. On the other hand, qualitative results showed these dominant themes: exploring beyond limits, providing own needs and the needs of the family, working while studying is not for everyone, and taste the bitterness of reality. The qualitative themes suggesting challenges and realities faced by working students may influence their intelligence scores, with those experiencing greater adversity potentially demonstrating lower scores due to increased stress and distraction. The research implication of this study underscores the importance of recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by working students and their potential impact on academic performance, specifically intelligence scores.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing the Body Mass Index (BMI) status of Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science students at the University of Mindanao, Davao City, Philippines. Using a quantitative and descriptive design approach, 185 respondents were sampled using stratified and convenience sampling methods. The analysis included Frequency, Mean, Standard Deviation, and Ordinal Logistic Regression to assess diet, exercise, and pressure status as regressors of BMI. Findings reveal that respondents' age ranges from 17 to 24 years, with a mean BMI of 20.55, indicating normal weight status. First-year students predominantly participated, with more females than males. Most regularly consume breakfast, spend 6 to 10 minutes on meals, and engage in exercise sessions of less than 30 minutes, predominantly 1 to 3 times a week. Further, most respondents use mobile devices for 4 to 6 hours, and most prefer bedtimes from before 11:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. The final model highlights mealtime spent, exercise duration, and bedtime as significant regressors for BMI, emphasizing their association with lifestyle factors. These findings underscore the importance of academic institutions offering Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science courses to address obesity factors. Implementing awareness programs can empower students to make informed lifestyle choices.

Abstract

Houseflies (Musca domestica) are recognized mechanical vectors of various enteric pathogens, particularly in areas with poor sanitation. Their feeding and breeding habits on waste materials make them effective carriers of disease-causing microorganisms. Previous studies have linked houseflies to the transmission of infections such as shigellosis, cholera, and typhoid fever. This study aimed to identify enteric bacteria carried by houseflies collected from selected public eateries in Davao City and assess their potential role in bacterial transmission. A total of 27 samples were examined using conventional microbiological techniques, including microscopy and biochemical testing. Bacteria from the genera Escherichia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter were identified. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test revealed no significant variation in bacterial presence across different collection sites. The findings suggest that houseflies consistently harbor enteric bacteria regardless of location, emphasizing their role as potential vectors in public food environments. This study therefore recommends that local health authorities implement strict preventive measures in waste management, regular inspection, and sanitation permits to reduce the risks of foodborne pathogen transmission.
