Abstract

Background: Everyone has tonsils that can become problematic for some reason. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils that occurs due to infection. Inflammation of the tonsils can cause discomfort and difficulty swallowing. These conditions cause disruption to daily activities. The incidence of tonsillitis in Indonesia is still quite high, especially in children aged 5-15 years. Tonsillitis itself is the second highest case in the ear nose and throat (ENT) field. Tonsillitis can occur due to several factors, one of which is closely related to diet and oral hygiene. This article is to determine the relationship between diet and oral hygiene on the incidence of tonsillitis in children. Methods: The method used was a literature review taken from several sources from 2019-2024. Database for this article such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. The search keywords we used were diet, hygiene, tonsillitis, and child. Discussion: The highest incidence of tonsillitis in children is due to the body's imperfect immune response. This is supported by children's low knowledge of unhealthy diets such as eating fast food and preservatives. In addition, oral hygiene also contributes to the risk of tonsillitis where children cannot maintain their own hygiene such as washing hands before eating and brushing teeth twice a day. Conclusion: There is an association between diet and oral hygiene to tonsillitis supported by the immune system that is still in the developmental stage in children.

Abstract

Penyakit jantung koroner Latar Belakang: Kualitas hunian merupakan faktor penting yang memengaruhi kesehatan pernapasan, khususnya di wilayah perkotaan rawan banjir. Di Kelurahan Dukuh Kupang, Surabaya, ventilasi buruk, kelembaban tinggi, dan kepadatan hunian diduga meningkatkan risiko Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Atas (ISPA). Untuk mendukung intervensi kesehatan perkotaan, penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara kualitas hunian dan insiden ISPA.Metode: Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods, menggabungkan survei rumah tangga pada 80 responden dari 8 Rukun Warga dengan wawancara informan kunci. Faktor-faktor seperti jenis lantai, jenis dinding, luas ventilasi, kelembaban udara, suhu ruangan, dan kepadatan hunian menunjukkan kualitas hunian. Gejala dan tingkat keparahan ISPA diidentifikasi melalui kuesioner dan catatan medis. Analisis regresi logistik digunakan untuk menguji hubungan statistik.Hasil: Sebanyak 62% rumah memiliki ventilasi tidak memadai, 55% memiliki kelembaban tinggi, dan 48,8% memiliki kepadatan hunian tinggi. Kejadian ISPA mencapai 71,3%, dengan gejala batuk (90,0%) dan demam (82,5%) paling sering dilaporkan. Ventilasi buruk berhubungan signifikan dengan ISPA (OR = 4,02; 95% CI: 1,78–9,08; p < 0,01).Kesimpulan: Risiko infeksi saluran pernapasan akut (ISPA) meningkat secara signifikan di daerah perkotaan yang rentan banjir. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya meningkatkan kondisi fisik perumahan, terutama ventilasi dan lingkungan dalam ruangan, sebagai strategi kritis dalam intervensi kesehatan masyarakat untuk mengurangi risiko ISPA di daerah-daerah rentan tersebut.   Background: In urban areas that are susceptible to flooding, the condition of housing is a critical determinant of respiratory health. In Dukuh Kupang, Surabaya, poor ventilation, high humidity, and overcrowding are suspected to elevate Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) risk. This study investigated the correlation between the incidence of ARI and the condition of housing in order to inform urban health interventions.Methods: A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining a household survey of 80 residents from 8 neighbourhood units with key informant interviews. Housing indicators included floor type, wall type, ventilation area, humidity, temperature, and occupancy density. ARI symptoms and severity were assessed through questionnaires and clinical records. Logistic regression tested statistical associations. Results: A high occupancy density of 48.8%, 55% of houses had excessive humidity, and over 62% of houses lacked adequate ventilation.  The incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) was 71.3%, with fever (82.5%) and cough (90.0%) being the most prevalent.  ARI was significantly correlated with inadequate ventilation (OR = 4.02, 95% CI: 1.78–9.08, p < 0.01).Conclusion: Urban areas that are susceptible to inundation experience a substantial increase in the incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARIs). This study emphasizes the importance of improving physical housing conditions, particularly ventilation and indoor environments, as a critical strategy in public health interventions to reduce the risk of ARI in these vulnerable areas.

Abstract Foreign body aspiration is challenging for ORL-HNS specialists. Not only it can be life-threatening, but also it has unnoticed symptoms for several days, weeks or months, but can cause serious sequelae. This article reports a 11-month-old who was referred to the Emergency Care Unit of RSUD Dr Soetomo Surabaya with chief complaints chest pain after choking  cherimoya seeds 4 hours earlier after eating cherimoya fruit which given by his mother. He coughed continuously and had short of breath and looked cyanosis on his face. Arrived at our hospital, the patient had loss of consciousness, thus we decide to intubate him. From physical examination we found on auscultation examination there were unilateral wheezing and decreased breath sounds on the right side of the lung. From chest X-ray there is no sign of aspiration pneumonia/atelectasis. After stabilize the patient, we decided to undergo extraction and exploration bronchoscopy using a rigid bronschopy and repeated observation to see the progress.
