Abstract

Background:Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) and strength are crucial for children's health, and low SMM can lead to adverse health outcomes. A deficiency of essential minerals can cause poor growth, fractures or osteoporosis. The study aimed to explore the relationship between serum Calcium (Ca), Copper (Cu), and Magnesium (Mg) levels and SMM in Chinese children.Methods:466 primary school children were recruited for a cross-section study aged 6-11 in Guangzhou City, South of China, from December 2015 to February 2017. The study conducted whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans using the Hologic discovery W to obtain the Total skeletal mass (TSM) and appendicular skeletal mass (ASM) were calculated, which were used as parameters to calculate variables of Skeletal muscle mass (SMM).Results:Of the 466 primary school children, 266 were boys and 200 girls with mean ages of 8.001.00 years for boys and 8.080.97 years for girls. An increase in mean Cu serum concentration between the T1 and T3 in girls resulted in 3.19% (P- trend =0.034, P-diff =0.083), 3.57% (P- trend =0.037, P-diff=0.083), 2.44% (P- trend =0.018, P=diff=0.060) and 2.25% (P- trend =0.024, P-diff= 0.072) for ASM/Height, ASH/ Weight, TSM/ Height and TSM/ Weight respectively, No significant mean difference was observed between serum Cu and ASM, TSM, ASM/ AFM and TSM/TFM (P- trend >0.05). A significant mean difference in serum Mg levels and ASM/ AFM for the total and boys' group was observed, with 6.68% and 9.44% (P- trend =0.042 and 0.041) respectively. No significant mean differences were seen between all the variables of serum Ca levels and all the variables of skeletal muscle mass and strength.Conclusions:Serum copper levels influence the development of SMM in girls, but not in boys. Serum Ca and Mg level in girls and boys do not influence SMM development among children aged 6-11.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has successfully eradicated wild poliovirus since 2005 using robust immunization and AFP surveillance programs. However, circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 has challenged these commitments, followed by the 2024 outbreak in East Java. Purpose: The study aims to analyze the polio eradication initiative by assessing polio immunization coverage and AFP surveillance in East Java. Methods: A descriptive, quantitative study design and retrospective analysis of polio immunization coverage and AFP surveillance indicators from the Provincial Health Office, East Java, from 2018–2022. The data was collected and analyzed using Excel, EpiInfo7, and Health Mapper software. Results: OPV4 coverage ranged from 89.95% to 100.76%, while IPV coverage ranged from 73.98 % to 94.18% from 2018 to 2020; the proportion of districts and cities for IPV coverage increased from 0% in 2018 to 44.74% in 2022, below the 95% WHO target. Of the 826 cases of AFP reported, 820 (99.27%) were actual AFP cases <15 years of age, with most (49.02%) being <5 years of age. Non-polio AFP rates ranged from 0.80 in 2020 to 2.59 in 2022 per 100,1000 <15 years of age, with the proportion of districts and cities slightly declining from 55.26% in 2018 to 50% in 2022. The annual mean percentage of AFP-adequate specimens is 61.15%, with the proportion of districts and cities significantly declining from 31.58% in 2018 to 10.53% in 2022, below the 80% target. Conclusion: IPV immunization coverage and AFP surveillance indicators are below the WHO-recommended targets across districts and cities in East Java.

Abstract

To review literature about Nutrition Intervention in reducing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). We conducted a literature search for published articles on “Nutrition Therapy in reducing Gestational Diabetes” “Nutrition therapy” Gestational diabetes” “diabetes” and “Gestation” as keywords search in the Sothern Medical University Library Electronic resources (E-resources), PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and other databases including Google Scholar. A search strategy was developed for each database with no restriction on language and publication status, 75% of the papers used in this study were published in the last 5 years. Several studies have established that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an alarming health problem worldwide and is one of the most common complications of nutrition intervention in addressing GDM in pregnant women and one of the causes of the T2DM in the world. During pregnancy, it is most likely to be a critical moment for appropriate therapy and activities aimed at reducing the incidence of T2DM.

Abstract

Background: There is still an outbreak of diphtheria in the Probolinggo district in 2023. Diphtheria mainly affects children who are not immunized. Support through a surveillance system is needed to overcome the diphtheria problem. Purpose: This study aims to describe the quality of diphtheria surveillance systems based on system approach and surveillance attributes. Methods: Descriptive research was carried out on 17 samples with an evaluation study on the diphtheria surveillance system in 2023 at health centers in the working area of the Probolinggo District Health Office. Data were collected by interview and document study using questionnaires and check list sheets. Data analysis was carried out by describing the system components and attributes of the surveillance system in 17 respondents, compared with the Diphtheria control guideline book 2023, Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation No. 45 of 2014, and surveillance attributes from CDC. The information obtained was presented in the form of tables and narratives. Results: The evaluation of diphtheria surveillance system components (input, process, output) in Probolinggo District was done using surveillance guidelines. Meanwhile, the diphtheria surveillance system assessment based on attributes showed simplicity, flexibility, acceptability, representativeness, stability, and good data quality. However, the system is not yet sensitive, and timeliness is still low. Conclusion: The implementation of the diphtheria surveillance system has mainly been carried out well, supported by the completeness of several surveillance attributes. Optimizing the use of the  Early Warning and Response System (EWS) application is necessary to improve the current surveillance system.
