Background: Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) pose a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Understanding the disease patterns and infection categories associated with MDRO infections is crucial for effective management and prevention strategies. This study aims to unveil the prevalent diseases and infection categories among MDRO-infected patients at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang in Indonesia.Methods: A comprehensive retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records of patients diagnosed with MDRO infections. Clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed. The diseases were classified into broader categories based on their organ system or common medical classification.Result: The study included 100 MDRO-infected patients and they presented with 81 various medical conditions/diseases. The most common diseases associated with MDRO infections were Covid-19, and Bronchopneumonia. Among the infection categories, gastrointestinal disorders, and Neoplastic Diseases were the predominant categories. The study revealed a high prevalence of MDRO infections in patients with these conditions while as the category of Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases accounted for the smallest proportion of cases with only one case.Conclusion : This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the disease patterns and infection categories in MDRO-infected patients at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang. The findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance, infection control measures, and antimicrobial stewardship programs to effectively manage MDRO infections. Understanding the most prevalent diseases and infection categories associated with MDROs can aid in early detection, appropriate treatment, and the development of preventive strategies.

Background: One of the indicators of HIV virus contamination in donor blood is the presence of anti-HIV antibodies. According to Probolinggo Blood Transfusion Unit, there are 55 blood donors screened reactive for anti-HIV antibodies in 2013-2018. Infected Blood by HIV virus causes a risk to donor recipients, especially the transmission of infection through blood transfusions. The purpose of this study is to describe the seroepidemiological trends of anti-HIV antibodies in blood donors. Methods: Descriptive research using annual data from Probolinggo Blood Transfusion Unit. The samples used in this study were all blood donors in 2013-2019 (29,421 blood donors). Blood donors were screened using Murex Ab/Ag Combination Diasorin UK Branch. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Result: There were 0.19% anti-HIV antibodies reactive in the blood of donors with the characteristics of blood donors were males, O blood types, voluntary and recurrent donors and conducting blood donor Kraksaan District. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, Probolinggo has a relatively low number of anti-HIV antibody findings. Nonetheless, the results show there has been an increase in the results of reactive screening for anti-HIV antibodies over the past 6 years in Probolinggo. Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain the quality of the screening that has been done and coordinate with the Probolinggo DHO to follow up on this problem.

Background: HIV/AIDS risky behaviour remains a critical health concern for adolescents, specifically at high school level. In South Africa, the rapid increase of risky lifestyles and sexual behaviours among adolescents could be mainly attributed to poor parental skills and broken family structures. Four identified sexual risk behaviours that are of concern in South Africa are age at sexual debut, multiple sexual partners, condom use and transactional sex.Methods: Data was collected using a quantitative cross-sectional survey with samle consist with 450 male and female high school adolescents between 14 to 18 years from 3 different South African school settings. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS descriptive statistics procedure.Result: 79.7% of the respondents had only one parent still alive with 4.9 % of the respondents indicated to have lost both parents. Only 13.5% of the respondents were from a nuclear family. The majority of the respondents were (41.2%) living with grandparents. This high level of family disintegration, parental absence and poor parenting skills in South Africa exposed 73.3% (330) of the respondents to early sexual debut, transactional sex, unprotected sex and having multiple sexual partners. The study proved that there is a statistical association between guardianship and age at sexual debut; guardianship and multiple sexual partners; guardianship and condom use; guardianship and transactional sex.Conclusion : The revealed significant high risk sexual behaviour among adolescents in KwaZulu-Natal should inform Health and educational authorities to utilize these key findings to design more effective local strategies to train and assist parents and caregivers on parenting skills

Background: The incidence of death diarrheal disease for children under 5 years are 5 million. The prevalence of diarrhea up to 24.8%. The exclusive breastfeeding for infants up to 6 months will provide immunity to against various diseases such as diarrhea. The proportion of Infants not exclusive breastfeeding up to 65.8%. Factors such as washing hands, consumption of drinking water are factors caused diarrhea in children. The study aims to known at the prediction of the risk of diarrhea and the dominant factors related the incidence of diarrhea in Kebumen District.Methods: The study design used case control. The population is mothers who have toddlers 1-4 years in the working area of Berbah Health Center Services was estimated 3,407 toddlers. The sample of case is a toddler who suffers from diarrhea and the control is a toddler who does not suffer from diarrhea in the surrounding environment. The sample was estimated of 50 cases of diarrhea and 50 control without diarrhea who qualified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instruments were used questionnaires and medical records of diarrhea. Data were analysis with chi square test and logistic regression with 95% confidence interval.Result: Based on bivariate analysis shown that the exclusive breastfeeding was significant risk of diarrhea incidence OR = 3.22 (1.41-7.35). Based on Handwashing that the handwashing variable has no significant risk of diarrhea incidence OR = 1.792 (0.80-4.01). Based on multivariate analysis that exclusive breastfeeding significant caused diarrhea for children OR = 2.76 (95%CI: 1.18-6.47) whereas hand washing did not significantly cause diarrhea in children OR = 1.15 (95% CI: 0.66-3.64) and drinking water did not significantly affect diarrhea in children OR 2.19 (95% CI: 0.91-5.27).Conclusion: The study concluded that the dominant risk factor significantly for diarrhea in toddlers is exclusive breastfeeding.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia in a long time can cause the damage of pancreatic beta cells. Morinda citrifolia contains xeronine that can regenerate damaged pancreatic beta cells. While Curcuma longa contains curcumin which acts as an antioxidant will stabilize free radicals so it can inhibit pancreatic beta cell damage and stimulate insulin secretion.Methods: The study aim to analyze the effect of a combination of Morinda Citrifolia and Curcuma Longa in reducing blood glucose levels, increasing body weight and pancreatic histopathology in hyperglycemic mice. This type of research is an experiment with the Post Test Only Control Group. A total of 25 mice were divided into 5 groups namely PI (250 mg/dL), PII (500 mg/dL), PIII (750 mg/dL), K(+), and K(-). Blood glucose level was observed for 21 days followed by observation of pancreatic histopathology.Result: The results showed the percentage of glucose blood reduction occurred in the PI group (56.11%) and significantly different from negative controls (35.05%). There was no difference in body weight (p=0.7) and number of langerhans islet (p=0.360) in all treatment groups. The diameter of the Langerhans islet of the PI group (200.8 μm) was significantly different from the negative control (114.8 μm). (p<0.05Conclusion : The combination of Morinda citrifolia and Curcuma longa extract can reduce blood glucose levels and increase body weight but not be able to optimally repair pancreatic islet damage.
