Abstract

Introduction: The application of 3D printing technology in healthcare has revolutionized various medical practices, allowing for personalized solutions tailored to individual patient needs. This study explores the current state of 3D printing in medical applications, highlighting its benefits and challenges. Method: A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted, focusing on the utilization of 3D printing for creating anatomical models, prosthetics, and bioprinting of living tissues. The analysis included a survey of various additive manufacturing techniques, such as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Stereolithography (SLA), to assess their effectiveness in medical contexts. Results: The findings indicate that 3D printing enhances surgical planning by providing accurate anatomical models, thereby improving surgical outcomes. Additionally, the technology facilitates the production of custom implants and prosthetics, leading to better integration with patients' anatomy. Bioprinting has shown promise in developing artificial organs and regenerative therapies, significantly impacting transplant medicine. Discussion: While 3D printing offers substantial advantages, challenges such as regulatory hurdles, ethical considerations, and the need for standardized practices remain. The technology's potential in personalized medicine is vast, suggesting a future where individualized treatments are commonplace. Continued research and collaboration among medical professionals, technologists, and regulatory bodies are essential to address these challenges and optimize the benefits of 3D printing in healthcare. This study underscores the transformative impact of 3D printing in medicine and its potential to enhance patient care and outcomes across various applications.

Abstract

Indonesia faces a critical public health challenge with one of the highest smoking rates globally, including among elementary school children. Understanding the determinants of this early smoking behavior is essential for developing effective prevention strategies. This study, Determinants of Smoking Behaviour Among Indonesian Elementary School Students: A Cross-Sectional Study, aimed to identify the factors associated with smoking behavior among elementary school students in Bojonegoro Regency, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from a Ministry of Health survey. The sample consisted of 1,071 students from grades 4–6 across 20 elementary schools, selected via total population sampling. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests to examine associations between smoking status and variables such as gender, grade level, knowledge, and environmental exposure. The prevalence of ever having smoked was 8.7%, exclusively among boys. Significant risk factors (p < 0.01) included being male, higher grade level, having smoking family members, having peers who smoke, and witnessing people smoke at school—notably, teachers and community members. Surprisingly, children who knew the dangers of smoking had a higher smoking prevalence. Smoking behavior in elementary students is strongly influenced by environmental exposure and gender. Prevention requires a multi-faceted approach, including strict smoke-free policies in schools, targeted anti-smoking education for boys, and community-wide interventions to reduce children's exposure to smoking role models.
