Abstract

The 95-95-95 strategy aims to control the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) HIV/AIDS  epidemic by ensuring that 95% of People Living With HIV (PLHIV) know their status, 95% of those diagnosed receive antiretroviral therapy  Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), and 95% of those on treatment achieve viral suppression. Despite national commitments, Indonesia’s progress especially in South Sulawesi remains below target. This study assessed the HIV/AIDS program situation and needs in Makassar City using a rapid assessment with a mixed-methods approach, prioritizing quantitative data. A total of 96 respondents completed structured questionnaires, and 13 individuals participated in focus group discussions. Findings indicate persistent barriers to testing, treatment access, and adherence, including stigma, low health literacy, side effects, and inadequate support systems. While some PLHIV reported consistent treatment and clinical improvement, non-adherence was still observed. Programmatic needs include targeted health education, supportive policies for key populations, improved communication skills among outreach workers, and non-discriminatory health services. Addressing these gaps requires community-based, evidence-driven interventions to optimize the HIV care continuum. Strengthening stakeholder collaboration and tailoring programs to the real needs of key populations are crucial to accelerate progress toward achieving the 95-95-95 targets and ending the HIV epidemic by 2030.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a global health issue. In Barru District, the number of pulmonary TB cases increased from 327 in 2023 to 464 in 2024. This study aims to investigate differences in the incidence of pulmonary TB between two locations: highland and coastal areas. The method used is quantitative analytical with a cross-sectional approach, involving 86 pulmonary TB patients from Lisu and Padongko Health Centers selected through simple random sampling. In the highlands, most patients were over 60 years old (43.5%), while in the coastal areas, the majority were aged 51–60 years (83.3%). Male patients were more numerous in both locations, with generally low educational levels. The most common occupations in the highlands were housewives and self-employed individuals, while in coastal areas, the majority were unemployed. No significant differences were found in age (ρ=0.494), gender (ρ=0.255), education (ρ=1.000), occupation (ρ=0.665), socioeconomic status (ρ=0.978), housing density (ρ=0.083), ventilation (ρ=0.083), or access to healthcare services. There were no significant differences in TB incidence. It is recommended that the elderly undergo regular health check-ups and maintain a healthy lifestyle to enhance their resistance to pulmonary TB infection.

Abstract

This study analyzes individual health insurance data using logistic regression to classify premiums into high and low categories based on ten medical and demographic predictors. By transforming a continuous premium variable into binary classes, high and low premiums, this research evaluates the significant factors influencing premium pricing decisions. Logistic regression was selected for its ability to model binary outcomes and estimate the likelihood that the customer belongs to the high premium category. To evaluate the significance of the predictors and the overall model fit, the Likelihood Ratio Test and Wald test were performed, identifying Age  and Weight  as significant predictors affecting premium classification. The final logistic regression model has an excellent ability to predict, given the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.97 and a 95% accuracy. These results show how well logistic regression works to enhance risk classification and support data driven policy modifications in insurance underwriting procedures.

Abstract

Sexual behavior among adolescents is a growing trend, especially in the school environment. Adolescents are generally known to have strong curiosity and the process of searching for identity, if not accompanied by adequate guidance and understanding, has the potential to lead to deviant behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of peers on promiscuous sexual behavior among adolescents at SMA Negeri 2, Enrekang Regency. The type of research used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 249 students in grades X and XI, selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a closed questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results of the analysis showed that the majority of respondents had low sexual behavior compliance, namely 65.9%. Peer factors were proven to have a significant relationship with promiscuous sexual behavior (p = 0.010). These findings indicate that peer influence is a dominant factor in adolescent sexual behavior. It is recommended that adolescents need to increase awareness and be selective in choosing friends.

Abstract

Primary healthcare services are the initial access point for BPJS Kesehatan participants in the Indonesian healthcare system. However, the public still complains about various obstacles such as limited facilities, long waiting times, limited medication, and suboptimal healthcare services. This study aims to explore the experiences of BPJS patients in accessing services at the Lapadde Community Health Center in Parepare City. This study used a qualitative phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews with 16 informants. Data analysis was conducted using MAXQDA with coding and thematic methods. The results showed that patients considered the facilities inadequate, especially medical equipment and room comfort. Long waiting times were due to limited staff and high number of visits. Medication services were carried out according to procedures, but the types and stock were limited. Healthcare workers were considered friendly and communicative, although interaction was limited due to queues and limited human resources. In conclusion, BPJS patients still face obstacles in primary care, so improvements in facilities, queue management, medication availability, and communication training for healthcare workers are needed to support responsive and quality services.

Abstract

Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common but underrecognized cause of recurrent vertigo and dizziness at the interface of neurology and otolaryngology. This structured narrative review integrates both perspectives in VM diagnosis and management. A PubMed search was conducted on 13 May 2026 using keywords related to vestibular migraine, vertigo, dizziness, migraine, diagnostic criteria, otolaryngology, neurology, Ménière’s disease, vestibular rehabilitation, CGRP, treatment, and management; reference checking added one key consensus document, yielding 46 articles for synthesis. VM remains a clinical, criterion-based, and longitudinal diagnosis without a pathognomonic biomarker. Neurology emphasizes migraine features and central warning signs, whereas otolaryngology emphasizes vertigo phenomenology, auditory symptoms, audiovestibular testing, and differential diagnosis. Management is individualized and multimodal. Integrated neuro-otological reasoning may improve diagnostic accuracy and patient-centered care, but stronger VM-specific trials with standardized vestibular outcomes are needed.

Abstract

Lung cancer continues to be a predominant global cause of death. Clinical outcomes are significantly influenced by the timely identification of high-risk populations, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate therapy selection. Progress in artificial intelligence (AI), liquid biopsy, and immunotherapy has opened new avenues for improving diagnostic accuracy and individualized treatment. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize the current evidence regarding the integration of artificial intelligence, liquid biopsy, and immunotherapy in improving lung cancer diagnosis, treatment selection, and personalized management. structured literature search was conducted in PubMed using keywords related to AI, liquid biopsy, immunotherapy, and lung cancer, with a focus on publications from the past 10 years. Of 18,169 records, 45 studies were selected after screening. AI-driven deep learning and radiomics enhance the precision of early detection, distinguish between benign and malignant nodules, and predict molecular changes, including EGFR, ALK, and PD-L1 expression. Liquid biopsy facilitates the non-invasive identification of biomarkers, such as ctDNA, CTCs, and exosomes, while AI enhances the interpretation of biomarkers and the characterization of cancer. AI models, such as CNN and multiomics methodologies, accurately predict treatment response and prognosis, thereby facilitating informed decision-making for immunotherapy. The combination of AI, liquid biopsy, and immunotherapy has significant potential to improve lung cancer management by enabling earlier diagnosis, personalized treatment, and improved response prediction

Abstract

Dyke–Davidoff–Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological disorder with fewer than 100 cases reported worldwide. It is characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, calvarial thickening, and hyperpneumatization of paranasal sinuses, often associated with hemiparesis, seizures, and developmental delay. Adult cases with symptoms persisting for more than three decades are exceptionally uncommon and offer valuable insight into long-term disease progression. Case Presentation: A 34-year-old woman was reported with a history of epileptic seizures since the age of 9 months, occurring 3–4 times per month and persisting into adulthood. The seizures were characterized by impaired consciousness accompanied by right-sided tonic–clonic motor manifestations and were preceded by a visual aura. The patient also exhibited right hemiparesis and delayed motor development. Neurological examination revealed right-sided central facial (cranial nerve VII) and hypoglossal (cranial nerve XII) paresis, right-sided limb spasticity, and visuospatial dysfunction. Non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) demonstrated left cerebral hemiatrophy, left lateral ventricular dilatation, left calvarial thickening, and hyperpneumatization of the left frontal sinus. This case was most appropriately classified as focal epilepsy of structural etiology secondary to DDMS, with a seizure type consistent with focal impaired consciousness seizure with observable manifestations.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria that predominantly affects children. Monocyte to Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR) and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) are simple hematological parameters that potentially describe the inflammatory response. This study aims to determine the correlation between the MLR and NLR and the length of hospital stay in pediatric typhoid fever patients.This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach and involved 48 pediatric typhoid fever patients treated at PKU Muhammadiyah Sampangan Hospital, Surakarta. Data on MLR, NLR, and length of hospital stay for pediatric typhoid fever patients were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between variables. MLR (p = 0.653, r = -0.067) and NLR (p = 0.231, r = 0.176). These findings indicate that MLR and NLR values are not accurate predictors of length of stay in pediatric typhoid fever patients. MLR and NLR are not significantly correlated with length of hospital stay in pediatric typhoid fever patients. This study confirms that simple hematological parameters are insufficient to describe the factors affecting length of hospital stay in pediatric typhoid fever patients
