<![CDATA[Background: Over the last decade, e-cigarettes have grown in popularity, surpassing cigarettes as the most widely used tobacco product among adolescents. Current evidence suggests that using e-cigarettes (vaping) is less harmful than smoking cigarettes; however, vaping has been linked to severe health consequences and an increased likelihood of transitioning to cigarettes. The upward trend of vaping is infrequently studied in concert with the prevalence of cigarette smoking. The objective of this study is to explore the prevalence of e-cigarette use and to assess potential associations with cigarette smoking among Texas adolescents.Subjects and Method: This study analyzed data on the prevalence of vaping and cigarette smoking among high school students from the 2019 Texas Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a cross-sectional survey with a sample size of 2032. Participating schools were selected using a multi-level cluster sampling technique and variables of interest were measured using a stan-dardized self-administered questionnaire. The t-test and chi-square tests were used to determine significance of associations between estimates.Results: Almost one in five respondents (18.7%) reported vaping. Non-Hispanic White students (p< 0.001), bisexual students (p < 0.001) and students in the higher grades were more likely to report e-cigarette use. Overall, cigarette smoking appeared to be on the decline in contrast to e-cigarette use and there was a positive association between cigarette smoking and vaping (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The high prevalence of vaping among Texas high school students is a call to action. Halting the upward trend of e-cigarette use is a priority as these products predispose adolescents to significant morbidity.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is one of the most common malignancies in children with the highest incidence aged 3-7 years. Management and treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have musculoskeletal and neuromuscular side effects which can significantly reduce the physical activity of leukemia patients and survivors. This study aims to determine the profile of the physical activity level of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia as assessed by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) in Surakarta, Indonesia. Subjects and Method: This was a study with a cross-sectional design. Children who survived acute lymphoblastic leukemia who had completed chemotherapy at Dr. Moewardi Hospital and met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. A sample of 26 patients was selected through purposive sampling. Demographic data were obtained through interviews and the profile of the patient's physical activity level was assessed using the GPAQ questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using a Pearson Correlation test with SPSS 22.0. Results: The total sample in this study was 26 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As many as 11.5% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia experienced decreased physical activity. There was a significant relationship between length of stay (p=0.001), age (p=0.004), gender (p=0.031), and the degree of risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (p=0.004) with the category of physical activity based on the GPAQ score. Conclusion: As many as 11.5% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia experienced decreased physical activity. The length of time being a survivor, the degree of risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the age of the survivor, and gender are risk factors for decreased physical activity in children.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: In 2020 there were 4,627 maternal deaths in Indonesia. Preeclampsia is a complication in pregnancy that occurs 2-8% of all pregnancies and is a major cause of maternal morbidity. Low-dose aspirin has been shown to be a safe and effective primary prevention for the incidence of preeclampsia. With preventive measures can reduce both moral and material losses for patients at high risk for the incidence of preeclampsia. The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of the effect of low-dose aspirin on the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women based on previous research. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Article searches were conducted using electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct. The articles used are published articles from 2012-2022. The keywords used to search the article were “Aspirin OR Acetylsalicylic Acid AND Prevention AND Pre-Eclampsia OR Toxemia AND Randomized Controlled Trials”. The inclusion criteria used are articles with randomized control trial studies, full text articles are available, the results of the analysis used are Risk Ratio. The population of the study was high-risk pregnant women, the research intervention was the administration of low-dose aspirin, the study comparison was a placebo, and the outcome of the study was preeclampsia, the articles were in English or Indonesian. The article search results are listed in the PRISMA diagram and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A total of 7 articles from China, America, India, Congo, Guatemala, Pakistan, and Finland showed that aspirin had an effect of 0.87 times in reducing the incidence of preeclampsia when compared with placebo or no administration (RR = 0.87; 95% CI 0.72 to 1.05). although not statistically significant (p=0.160). Conclusion: Low-dose aspirin affects the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Involving husbands and men in decision-making processes can play a crucial role in antenatal care uptake and utilisation. However, men often lack necessary knowledge and have misleading beliefs and perceptions.Subjects and Method: The current research was an analytical cross sectional study conducted in Embakasi South Sub county, Nairobi, Kenya which sought to assess the knowledge and attitude towards antenatal care among men. Kelsey et al sample size determination formula was used to calculate a sample of 66 subjects. A researcher-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses were used in the analysis of data with the help of SPSS.Results: The results in this study showed that slightly above half (57.6%, n=38) of the subjects had low knowledge. Slightly above half (51.5%, n=34) had positive attitudes towards ANC. None of the demographic characteristics was significant to knowledge. There was also no significant associations between demographic characteristics and subjects’ attitudes towards antenatal care. There was a significant association (p =0.048) between knowledge and attitudes. Results showed that subjects with low knowledge were 2.196 times likely to have positive attitudes.Conclusion: These findings highlight the current knowledge gap that exists among men regarding antenatal care. An education intervention program ought to be carried out among men in Embakasi South Sub County and other parts of Nairobi and the country. Community health programs should also build on the positive attitudes towards ANC as found in this study to help improve male involvement in antenatal care and other reproductive health issues.]]>
