Abstract

Global challenges are increasing as the prevalence of dementia increases. Dementia is considered a multifactorial disease. Dementia is a general term used to describe a range of symptoms that affect memory, thinking and the ability to perform daily activities. Alzheimer's is one of the most common types of dementia, accounting for 75% of all dementia cases. The method used in this article review is the contrast method. The contrast method is a journal/article review method by looking for differences between several research journals and then drawing conclusions. The results showed that alzheimer's is a growing health problem worldwide. The disease burdens the individual as well as the patient's family, which negatively affects the quality of life related to memory and cognitive function. Memory decline or dementia is most common in older people, caused by Alzheimer's disease. . The study concluded that vitamin D supplementation has the potential to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's in elderly patients. Vitamin D is known to play an important role in brain development and function, as well as cognition. Several studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's, while vitamin D supplementation may improve cognitive function and reduce beta-amyloid accumulation in the brain. However, the results are mixed and limitations remain, so further studies with better designs and larger samples are needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying biological mechanisms

Abstract

Background:  Acute diarrhea is a medical condition with the second highest mortality rate after pneumonia. It is characterized by more than 14 days of frequent bowel movements with watery stools, leading to dehydration and the risk of electrolyte imbalance, often caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection. Purpose:   To explore therapeutic interventions for acute diarrhea in children with moderate and severe dehydration. Methods:  A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar, using Boolean terms and specific filters to identify relevant articles. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles published between 2022 to 2025. Results:   A total of 10 articles met the predefined keywords and selection criteria. Conclusion:   Although rotavirus vaccination has proven to be effective, the selection and adaptation of vaccination strategies must be tailored to local conditions to achieve optimal outcomes in children with acute diarrhea accompanied by moderate to severe dehydration.
