Abstract

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the bacteria that causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). The reproductive system, rectum, and pharynx are particularly susceptible to this infection. Both men and women can have gonorrhea, but women frequently have moderate or even nonexistent symptoms, which makes the infection go undiagnosed and untreated. This raises the possibility of severe side effects like infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and transmission to fetuses or infants. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) assessment, gonorrhea is still a common global health issue, particularly in underdeveloped nations. Factors such as low awareness of STIs, limited access to health services, and increasing antibiotic resistance contribute to the challenges of controlling this disease. Throughout the twentieth century, gonorrhea (GO) was the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) globally due to delayed diagnosis. Gonorrhea was more common in women than in men in 2009, and the most common sources of reporting for women were emergency rooms (5.8%), STI clinics (16.7%), family planning clinics (9.1%), and other health department clinics (8.1%). Other sources of reporting were private physicians and health maintenance organizations (30.9%). According to WHO figures from 2012, there were 78 million GO infection cases. The frequency was 0.8% for women and 0.6% for males among those aged 15 to 49. According to WHO estimates from 2016, the combined global prevalence of urogenital gonorrhea (the percentage of the world's population that has gonorrhea in a given year) was 0.9% for women and 0.7% for men, or 30.6 million cases globally.

Abstract

Depression in the elderly is becoming an increasingly important mental health issue as the aging population continues to grow in Indonesia and globally. Older adults are vulnerable to depression due to biological, psychological, and social changes they experience, which are often unrecognized as they are mistakenly considered part of normal aging. Symptoms of depression in the elderly include feelings of sadness, loss of interest, sleep and appetite disturbances, as well as decreased energy and concentration. The prevalence of depression is high, particularly among women, those living alone, or those with chronic illnesses. The etiology of late-life depression is multifactorial, involving psychosocial, medical, neurobiological, and inflammatory factors, and associations with cardiovascular diseases. Its management requires special attention from families, healthcare professionals, and the community for early detection, appropriate treatment, and social support to maintain the quality of life of the elderly.
