Abstract

Background: In this study, we aimed to reveal the characteristics and severities of child traumas under the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown according to trauma mechanisms, locations and age distributions, and to evaluate the results.Subjects and Method: The data of 333 pediatric trauma patients who came to our hospital during the lockdown period were analyzed retrospectively. The frequency and ratio analysis of the data obtained by the purposeful sampling method was performed. Pediatric Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score and Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale were calculated. Gender, age distribution, trauma locations and trauma mechanisms were recorded, and distribution characteristics of the data according to trauma scores were compared. Continuous variables were analyzed using Student's t-test. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. Statistical significance level was accepted as <0.05.Results:193 of the patients (58.0%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 7.73 (Mean= 7.73; SD= 5.33). The most common trauma patients (49.8%) consisted of the school age patients. The number of patients who applied to our hospital from the urban was 244 (73.3%), and it was observed that the trauma occurred at homeside in 189 (56.8%) patients. The most common cause of trauma was falls. The mean Pediatric Trauma Score of the patients was 10.43 (Mean= 10.43; SD= 1.28), the Injury Severity Score was 2.24 (Mean= 2.24; SD= 4.45), the Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale calculated was 14.95 (Mean= 14.95; SD= 0.66). It was observed that 99.7% of the study patients according to the Injury Severity Score and 93.7% according to the Pediatric Trauma Score were minor trauma.Conclusion: Major childhood traumas and mortality decreased with the Covid 19 pandemic and lockdown.Keywords: Childhood, Covid-19, Pediatric Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score, Pediatric Glascow Coma ScaleCorrespondence:

Abstract

Background: : Childhood immunization with the interacting factors has been a significant public health challenge especially in the sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria has been presented as one the countries with the worst under-five mortality rates, and factors affecting childhood immunization are poorly understood. This study determined the influence of maternal characteristics as a predictor of immunization status of under-five in Ebonyi State of Nigeria. Subjects and Method: The design in this study is cross-sectional survey. The population of the study was 572,955 under-five children in Ebonyi State from which 2865 was sampled. Data were analyzed using percentages and chi-square. Results: The results revealed that 83.01% of under-5 children were fully immunized, suggesting a high immunization status in Ebonyi State. The chi-square analysis shows a significant influence of mothers’ age (p < 0.05), mothers’ location of residence (p < 0.05), mothers’ educational level (p < 0.05) and immunization status of under-five children. Conclusion: It was concluded that immunization status of under-five children in Ebonyi State was high and maternal characteristics had significant influence on immunization status of under-five children. Thus, it was reco­mmended among others, that government at all levels should provide tangible incentives to mothers who fully immunized their children and promulgate a law to prevent children without immunization cards, also compel mothers, teachers to show full immunization of under-five children by registering in public and private primary schools.

Abstract

Background: The negative effect of low hemoglobin levels for adolescents can reduce intelligence, learning achievement, mental motor development, inhibition of optimal height growth and repro­ductive health. Dysmenorrhea is pain or discomfort that occurs in the abdomen during menstruation as a result of prostaglandin secretion which can increase uterine contractions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Remakuda juice on an increase in hemoglobin and a decrease in the intensity of dysmenorrhea in female adolescents. Subjects and Method: An experimental study with no control group was conducted at Junior High School I Tembelang, Jombang, East Java, in September 2021. A total of 60 female adolescents was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variables were hemoglobin level and dysmenorrhea. The independent variable was Remakuda juice. Dysmenorrhea was measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Wong Baker Pain Rating Scale. Hemoglobin level was measured by digital haemometer. The data were analyzed using t-test. Results: Hemoglobin levels after intervention (Mean= 2.00; SD= 0.00) were higher than before (Mean= 1.73; SD= 0.45), with p= 0.010. Dysmenorrhea after intervention was lower (Mean= 1.43; SD= 0.59) than before (Mean= 2.70; SD= 0.65), with p<0.001. Canclusion: Remakuda juice can increase hemoglobin levels and reduce dysmenorrhea in female adolescent.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among women continues to increase every year. Overweight and obesity can lead to complications in pregnancy such as Excessive gesta­tional weight gain (EGWG) and Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Physical activity inter­vention is an option to prevent EGWG and GDM. The study aims to analyze the effects of physical activity interventions in reducing EGWG and GDM. Subjects and Method: The study used a meta-analysis study design by following PRISMA guidelines. The research question was formulated in PICO.  The population was pregnant women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of > 25 kg/m2. The intervention used was measured physical acti­vity. The comparison was without measured physical activity. The outcomes were EGWG and GDM. Article search was carried out through the databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus Database, and PEDro which was published from 2011 to 2020. The article search used the following keywords: "pregnancy" OR "pregnant woman" AND "obese" OR "overweight" AND "excessive gestational weight gain" OR "gestational weight gain" OR "weight gain" AND "gestatio­nal diabetes mellitus" OR "gestational diabetes" AND "exercise " OR "antenatal exercise" OR "physical activity". Articles that met the criteria were full-text articles with a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) study design. The assessment of the quality of the study was conducted with Cochrane Collaboration's Tool for Assessing Risk of Bias and the articles were subsequently analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. Results: A total of 10 articles analyzed in this study came from Asian, European, Australian, and American countries with a total sample of 2,086. The results of the meta-analysis showed that overweight and obese pregnant women who performed measured physical activity did not experience weight changes compared to those who did not engage in physical activity (SMD= 0.03; 95% CI= 0.17 to 0.73; p=0.770).  However, overweight and obese pregnant women who do measured physical activity experience changes in fasting sugar levels compared to those who did not do measured physical activity (SMD= 0. 20; CI95%= 0.30 to 0.10; p=0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study state that physical activity interventions are effective in reducing GDM but not for EGWG in overweight and obese pregnant women. Keywords: physical activity, excessive gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes mellitus, overweight and obese pregnant women, meta-analysis. Correspondence: Hapsari Cahyaningrum.
