Abstract

Background: One of the factors that cause sexual dysfunction is the use of hormonal con­tra­ception. The hormone progesterone in contraceptives functions to thicken cervical mucus. In addi­tion, the hormone progesterone also facilitates the conversion of carbohydrates into fat so that one of the side effects is causing body weight to increase and reducing sexual arousal which causes an effect on sexual desire. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the use of injectable hor­monal contraception and pills on the incidence of sexual dysfunction using a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using the PRISMA flowchart diagram. The process of searching for articles was carried out with a range of 2011-2022 in the Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Researchgate and Springerlink databases. The key­words used in the article search are “hormonal contraceptive” AND “oral contraception” OR “pills contraceptive” AND “injectable contraceptive” AND “sexual dysfunction” AND “cross-section­al”. The inclusion criteria are full text articles with cross-sectional study design, articles using English, multivariate analysis with Adjusted Odds Ratio. Articles that met the requirements were analyzed using the RevMan 5.3 application. Results: A total of 14 articles with a cross-sectional study design originating from Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Washington, Sweden and Polan were meta-analyzed in this study. A meta-analysis of 7 articles showed that there was an effect of using injectable hormonal con­tra­cep­tion on the incidence of sexual dysfunction 1.66 times compared to those not using injectable contraception, but this was not statistically significant (aOR= 1.66; 95% CI= 0.65 to 4.26; p= 0.290). Meanwhile, 7 articles showed that women using oral contraceptives had a 1.42 times risk of experiencing sexual dysfunction compared to not using oral contraceptives and this was sta­tis­tically significant (95% CI= 1.04 to 1.92; aOR= 1.42; p= 0.030). Conclusion: Injectable hormonal contraceptives show that there is an effect on the incidence of sexual dysfunction, but statistically this relationship is not significant. Hormonal contraceptive pills showed an effect on the incidence of sexual dysfunction and was statistically significant.  Keywords: sexual dysfunction, injectable contraceptives, oral contraceptives, meta-analysis.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Background: Stunting affects 37% of Indonesian children and has lifelong consequences for the affected child. Childhood stunting can be prevented by promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and helping mothers overcome barriers to EBF. This study aimed to examine the effect of a National Nutrition Communications Campaign (NNCC) on stunting awareness and promotion of exclusive breast­feeding behavior among rural Indonesian mothers. Subjects and Method: Data came from interviews and a cross-sectional survey of 1,740 mothers with children under the age of 2 in three Indonesian districts, from November 2015 to March 2018. Measures included exposure to two different NNCC interventions: multi-media messages (media) and interpersonal communication strategies (IPC) and associations with stunting knowledge, breast­feeding knowledge, and breastfeeding perceptions/intentions. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Exposure to NNCC was positively associated with knowledge toward EBF (OR= 1.56; 95% CI= 1.10 to 2.19; p= 0.043), awareness of the importance of nutrition during the first 1000 days of life (OR= 1.90; 95% CI= 1.43 to 2.52; p<0.001), and having heard of stunting (OR= 1.93; 95% CI= 1.41 to 2.63; p<0.001). Exposure to IPC was positively associated with knowledge toward EBF (OR=1.78, CI95% 1.37 to 2.30, p<0.001), awareness of the importance of nutrition during the first 1000 days of life (OR= 3.02; 95% CI= 2.40 to 3.80; p<0.001), knowledge of EBF benefit to prevent stunting (OR= 3.05; CI 95%= 2.33 to 3.98; p<0.001), and having heard of stunting (OR= 3.15; CI 95%= 2.49 to 3.98; p<0.001). Exposure to IPC was a significant predictor of an intention to engage in EBF (p <0.050). Conclusion: These findings point to practical recommendations for national level social and behavior change communication efforts. Future campaigns should aim to be inclusive of: 1) mass media (tele­vision, radio, billboards, and social media) to promote health as these efforts provide for wide exposure while maintaining impact; and 2) IPC (face-to-face communications, classes, and support groups) as these efforts increase knowledge and impact on behavior, beliefs and intentions.

The problem of stunting in children under five shows an average rate of 35.3% in West Java. Stunting is a problem because it is asso­ciated with an increased risk of disease and death, suboptimal brain development, which results in delayed motor development and stunted mental growth. Jamika sub-district has a high prevalence of stunting under five in West Java, which is 23.7%. Pharmacists as Agents of Change can also optimize their role by providing information and education on stunting prevention. Subjects and Method: This study uses a design Pretest-posttest control group design at the Posyandu, Jamika Village, from February to April 2022. The total sample in this study was 30 people who were taken from mothers who had toddler 0-24 months of age. Samples were obtained by simple random sampling. The dependent attitudes of parents. The independent variable was knowledge. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using chi square test and odds ratio (OR). Results: Good knowledge increased the attitude of parents in efforts to overcome stunting at Posyandu, Jamaika village. Parents with good knowledge increased attitude by 1.40 times to have a positive attitude in efforts to overcome stunting, and this result is statistically significant (OR= 1.40; 95% CI= 0.87 to 2.23; p= 0.008). Conclusion: There was a relationship between good knowledge with attitude of parents as an effort to overcome stunting in the Posyandu, Jamika village with booklet media.

Abstract

Background: With taking into consideration of the high cesarean section (CS) rate, the objectives of this study were to ascertain factors associated with and point out metamorphose complications with high CS rates in Bangladesh. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study accounted for data collection from rural (196) and urban (241) women who gave birth to babies between 2005 and 2018 in Chattogram, Bangladesh. The study subjects were selected by using a systematic random sampling technique and the sample size was determined by using web-based Raosoft software. The delivery modes were dependent variables whereas influential factors and complications related to delivery were independent variables. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pre-structured question­naire. The height and weight of the participants were measured by using a stadiometer and weighing machine respectively. Data analysis was done by using regression analysis. Results: The results divulged that mingling of relative influence and doctor’s profit-making tendency, obstetric factors, and demand from a family with higher socioeconomic status contributed to the recent increased cesarean rate in urban areas (41.5%). The distended abdomen in mothers (OR= 5.11, 95% CI= 2.98 to 8.76) was strongly associated with CS (p< 0.05), and back pain, and urinary incontinence were about one and half times higher in CS mothers. However, miscarriage and pelvic organ prolapse were associated with decreased risks of CS. Postnatal complications include cold fever (OR= 11.95, 95% CI= 7.02 to 20.35), and pneumonia (OR= 5.79; 95% CI= 2.71 to 12.36) were highly prevalent in children with cesarean delivery. Conclusion: Cesarean section has become alarmingly increased in urban rather than rural areas of Bangladesh in recent decays. Awareness-raising, doctor commitment, government policy, and strict monitoring of private health facilities are needed to control high rates of cesarean delivery.

Abstract

Background: The abdominal pregnancy is a pregnancy anywhere in the abdominal cavity other than the tube, ovary, and broad ligament. Abdominal pregnancy has 7.7 times greater risk than tubal pregnancy and 90 times greater than intrauterine pregnancy. This study aims to reveal the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal pregnancy in Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. Subjects and Method: This was a case series study conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. This study report three cases of advanced abdominal pregnancy at Dr Moewardi Hospital (2019 – 2020), that consisted of two cases of advanced abdominal pregnancy to term, and one advanced abdominal pregnancy with acute abdomen. Case presentation: Case 1 (it was found abdominal pregnancy at 30 weeks), the condition of the mother and the fetus was good, the pregnancy was continued until the gestational age was term. The patient was given corticosteroids for lung maturation and magnesium sulfate for neuro­protection. Case 2 (an abdominal pregnancy was found at term), it was decided to immediately terminate it with good preoperative preparation. Both patients in case 1 and case 2 had good result in both the mother and the fetus. The placenta was left in situ in both cases to prevent massive bleeding and injury to the gastrointestinal organs. Case 3 (advanced abdominal pregnancy with acute abdominal symptoms) decided to undergo an emergency laparotomy and removal of the placenta. Conclusion: Abdominal pregnancy must be diagnosed and managed properly to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. In advanced abdominal pregnancy, it could be considered to continue the pregnancy until the term. The placenta management of in situ without methotrexate might be considered in cases of abdominal pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Children with chronic disease often have poor quality of life. Nephrotic syn­drome was one of the most common kidney diseases in children with a high number of relapses. Therefore, treatment for nephrotic syndrome might take a long time. Compli­ca­tions from the disease and medications might affect the quality of life of the patient. Subjects and methods: This was a cross sectional, descriptive analytic study. Children aged 5-18 years old who visited the nephrologic outpatient department of Dr Moewardi general hospital from july to September 2020 and fullfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Quality of life was assessed using PedsQLTM 4.0 generic module.The analysis of this research was done by using chi-square and logistic regression. Results: A total of 27 children aged from 5-18 years old participated in this study. Decrease quality of life was reported in 22% based on report from parents. From parent’s report, gender (OR= 0.06; CI95%= 0.01 to 0.66; p= 0.008) was associated with decrease of quality of life in children with nephrotic syndrome. Most of the children had decreased quality of life in the psychososial domain according to parent’s report (OR= 4.70; 95% CI= 1.12 to 19.70; p= 0.026). Conclusion: 22% children with nephritic syn­drome have decreased quality of life. Gender was the risk factors that might contri­bute to the decreased quality of life of children with nephrotic syndrome.
