Abstract

Preeclampsia is a major cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mothers and infants, leading to higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite progress in prenatal care, the exact cause of Preeclampsia remains unknown, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies to improve outcomes. Various nutritional interventions can be used as potential preventive measures against Preeclampsia. Among these, folic acid and calcium supplementation have garnered considerable attention. This systematic review aims to compare the effectiveness of folic acid versus calcium supplementation in preventing Preeclampsia. By synthesizing the current evidence, we seek to elucidate the relative benefits of these two interventions, thereby providing clearer guidance for clinical practice and future research.  This systematic review uses PubMed Central, Springerlink, PubMed, and Google Scholar as databases, using MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms: ‘Folic Acid’, ‘Calcium’, and ‘Preeclampsia’ to extract relevant publications. Publications included were limited to English publications in the past 5 years globally. This study included 6 studies compromising 29.664 women. Prisma table is used to identify studies via databased and sorted with Rayyan.ai. Both Calcium and Folic acid supplementation in adequate dose equally needed to prevent preeclampsia. Further research is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy in equivalent subject groups. There is currently limited information on the impact of health supplements on high-risk pregnancies, including the effects of calcium supplementation.

Abstract

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, infection control protocols required universal mask use. At the same time, increased reports of dry eye symptoms emerged. Prior studies showed inconsistent results. This study aims to clarify the association, hypothesizing that prolonged mask wearing is linked to a higher risk of dry eye disease. Methods: This study is an analytical comparative cross-sectional study. The purposive sampling technique was used to collect samples. To diagnose dry eye disease, the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was used. The cut off score we used is >12 points in OSDI. Two categories were established to assess mask usage duration: <6 hours or ≥ 6 hours per day. Data were collected in January 2023 from 278 respondent medical students in Tangerang, Indonesia. Bivariate chi-square data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software. Discussion: 82 respondents (29.5%) experienced dry eye disease, and 221 respondents (79.5%) used masks for ≥ 6 hours during effective working days along the week. No significant relationship was found between both variables. (OR = 0,883; 95% CI: 0.471-1.658; p = 0.669). Results: There was no association between using masks for a longer period of time to dry eye disease.
