Abstract

Stunting remains a significant chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, including the province of Aceh. The lack of data on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of primary healthcare physicians regarding stunting prevention represents a critical gap that warrants investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of public health center (PHC) physicians in addressing childhood stunting in Aceh Province. A descriptive-quantitative design was employed involving 143 physicians from 39 PHC located in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. This study was conducted between April 2022 and January 2023. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using univariate statistics. The majority of the respondents were female (89.5%). A total of 67.8% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge, 86% exhibited positive attitudes, and 82% reported engaging in stunting prevention practices aligned with standard guidelines. In conclusion, PHC physicians in the study area displayed strong readiness to support stunting prevention efforts. Continued capacity-building interventions and sustainable support systems are essential for reinforcing their strategic role in primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and common primary brain tumor in adults, characterized by rapid growth, infiltrative behavior, and poor prognosis despite multimodal treatment. Among its most significant complications are vasogenic edema and hydrocephalus, which exacerbate intracranial hypertension and contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 59-year-old male who presented with progressive decreased consciousness, severe headaches, right-sided weakness, and visual disturbances. Neuroimaging revealed a left temporoparietal mass with cystic, solid, and necrotic components, accompanied by extensive vasogenic edema, midline shift, and obstructive hydrocephalus. Histopathological examination confirmed glioblastoma, WHO grade IV. The patient was treated with intravenous dexamethasone and acetazolamide, resulting in improved consciousness and partial symptomatic relief. This case illustrates the pathophysiological role of blood–brain barrier disruption in vasogenic edema and cerebrospinal fluid flow obstruction in hydrocephalus. Dexamethasone remains the cornerstone of symptomatic management for edema, while acetazolamide may provide temporary benefit in hydrocephalus, although its long-term efficacy is limited. The coexistence of these complications significantly worsens prognosis, and treatment primarily focuses on symptom control and quality of life. Prompt recognition and appropriate management are essential to stabilize patients, even though overall survival in glioblastoma remains limited.

Abstract

Masalah gizi buruk pada balita masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia yang dapat berdampak pada pertumbuhan fisik, perkembangan kognitif, serta kualitas sumber daya manusia di masa depan. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mencegah masalah tersebut adalah melalui peningkatan pengetahuan ibu mengenai pemenuhan gizi balita. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu balita mengenai penanggulangan gizi buruk melalui edukasi kesehatan dalam pemantauan rumah sehat. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Desa Pantai Cermin, Kecamatan Tapung, Kabupaten Kampar dengan sasaran ibu yang memiliki balita. Metode kegiatan meliputi tahap observasi, persiapan, pelaksanaan edukasi kesehatan, serta evaluasi kegiatan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa ibu-ibu peserta memiliki antusiasme yang tinggi selama kegiatan penyuluhan serta menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman mengenai penyebab, dampak, serta upaya pencegahan gizi buruk pada balita. Edukasi kesehatan yang dilakukan secara langsung terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pentingnya pemenuhan gizi seimbang bagi balita. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat mendorong perubahan perilaku keluarga dalam pemenuhan gizi anak serta meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dalam melakukan pemantauan pertumbuhan balita secara rutin melalui kegiatan posyandu.

Abstract

Ischemic stroke accounts for the majority of instances and is mostly linked to carotid artery stenosis brought on by inflammatory atherosclerosis. This study used medical record data of hospitalized ischemic stroke patients who had digital subtraction angiography (DSA) between January and August 2025. It was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design that was carried out at Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta from October to November 2025. Purposive sampling was used to choose samples based on inclusion and exclusion criteria; the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) criteria were used to determine the degree of carotid stenosis; SPSS version 25 was used for statistical analysis using Pearson or Spearman correlation tests based on data distribution. Most ischemic stroke patients were male, aged 50–64 years, with diabetes mellitus and hypertension as the main comorbidities, and the majority had mild to severe carotid stenosis, while a small proportion had critical stenosis or total occlusion. While sex, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia did not substantially correlate with the degree of carotid artery stenosis (p above 0.05), NLR was the only predictor that did (p below 0.001). NLR was the only independent predictor that was substantially correlated with the degree of carotid artery stenosis, according to multivariate analysis using ordinal logistic regression (B was 0.227; p was 0.012). In ischemic stroke patients at Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta, NLR is substantially correlated with and an independent predictor of the degree of carotid artery stenosis.
