Abstract

Noise pollution is an undesirable phenomenon that affects human health and can lead to occupational hearing loss. This study was to assess associations of risk scores from exposure to noise related to their variables from noise exposure among stone mortar workers who exposed to high noise levels during their work in Lampang, Thailand. The study was conducted between August and September 2023. Data collection involved using standardized questionnaires which were developed by researchers and used scientific instruments for noise measurement. The questionnaires contained items related to population characteristics and work information, knowledge, attitude, and practice for preventing noise exposure, noise exposure measurement, and risk scores from exposure to noise. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze data. The results showed that seven factors significantly associated with risk scores from exposure to noise while performing their work. Apparently, there were four influential variables which included height of workers, ear symptoms, working hour per day, and noise measurement as tested using multiple regression analysis. Therefore, efforts should be made to manage those variables by drafting policies and creating tools for risk prediction to control the influential variables related to risk level from exposure to noise in the working area.

Abstract

The rearranged during transfection (RET) gene encodes a tyrosine kinase oncogene implicated in various cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Till now, multiple kinase inhibitors are commonly used to treat RET-positive NSCLC. However, these inhibitors often exhibit significant toxicity and demonstrate reduced efficacy and specificity toward RET. Recently, bioactive compounds derived from marine sources have shown promising anticancer properties. Therefore, this study aimed to identify effective bioactive compounds from marine Streptomyces species using a virtual screening approach to address these limitations. A literature search identified 20 marine Streptomyces species as potential sources of bioactive compounds. The antibiotics and secondary metabolite analysis shell (antiSMASH) online tool were used to analyze the gene clusters of these marine Streptomyces species, revealing 7,251 metabolites. A total of 661 distinct metabolites were analyzed through a comprehensive array of virtual screening methodologies. The molecular docking and pharmacokinetic analysis resulted in the identification of four metabolites with better binding scores and pharmacological properties than pralsetinib. Collectively, we hypothesize that the identified bioactive compounds could be considered as potent leads for further analysis.

Abstract

Adolescent dating violence (ADV) is a global public health problem that has a serious impact on adolescents' physical, psychological, and social development. This study aimed to explore gender disparities in Indonesian adolescents' knowledge of dating violence using the Rasch Model and Differential Item Function Analysis. A total of 250 junior high school students in Yogyakarta, consisting of 107 males and 143 females, participated. The ADV knowledge measurement instrument consisted of 16 previously tested items for validity and reliability. Results showed that female students had a higher level of knowledge than male students, especially in identifying emotional and physical violence. Differential item function (DIF) analysis revealed that two items showed differences in perception based on gender, with female students focusing more on physical violence. In contrast, male students tended to view physical violence as a more common behaviour. This study highlights the importance of more inclusive and gender-sensitive educational programs to increase adolescents' knowledge of different forms of dating violence. The findings provide important insights for the development of interventions that can help prevent dating violence among adolescents.

Abstract

In Morocco, bacterial meningitis has consistently posed a significant public health challenge. Addressing this issue requires a deeper understanding of public perceptions to enhance awareness and prevention efforts. This quantitative cross-sectional study, conducted in health facilities in the Marrakech-Safi region from May 2022 to January 2023, employed Cronbach's Alpha with a reliability score of 72% to analyze the association between knowledge levels and various factors. The research revealed that the majority of participants were aged between 20 and 30 years (51.8%) and female (64.4%). The term most commonly used by Moroccans to describe purulent meningitis was “bad fever” (Skhana lkhayba), with 68.8% using this term. Additionally, 82% of participants had an average level of knowledge about the disease. Analysis indicated that families with four children demonstrated a higher level of knowledge compared to those with fewer or more children (p = 0.048). Participants residing in structured housing had a lower level of knowledge than those in unstructured housing (p = 0.017). Furthermore, educational attainment at the primary and secondary school levels was significantly associated with knowledge levels (p = 0.020 and p = 0.015, respectively). Understanding public perceptions and vulnerabilities related to bacterial meningitis can significantly improve disease control and prevention strategies.

Abstract

High blood pressure (HBP) is a leading risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and mortality. This study aimed to identify health literacy and other characteristics associated with HBP among late adults in Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,345 adults aged 35-59 years from Health Centers 7, 8, 9, and 10 in Northeast Thailand. Descriptive statistics and a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) were used to determine the adjusted odds ratio (Adj. OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results showed a prevalence of HBP at 24.76% (95% CI: 22.52-27.13). Multivariable analysis revealed a significant association between HBP and health literacy in finding health information (Adj. OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.28-1.96, p-value<0.001), as well as judging health information (Adj. OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.04-1.73, p-value=0.024). Additionally, history of smoking (Adj. OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.29-3.24, p-value = 0.002), comorbidity (Adj. OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.76-2.74, p-value <0.001), physical activity (Adj. OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.28-2.16, p-value <0.001), and body mass index (Adj. OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.14-4.26, p-value=0.018) were found to be associated with HBP. Poor health literacy increases the risk of HBP. Relevant authorities must evaluate the group context and develop a suitable health literacy model.

Abstract

Society often views sex education for early childhood as taboo, believing it is inappropriate for young children. However, early health education plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of sexual violence. In 2022, the Indonesian government recorded a high incidence of sexual violence, with 11.016 reported cases. This study examines the factors that influence maternal behavior in providing reproductive health education to early childhood in West Sumatra during 2021. This study uses a quantitative cross-sectional study method, the research conducted in May to October 2021 in West Sumatra. The study involved 257 mothers with children aged 3-6 years, selected through cluster sampling. We analyzed the data using univariate and bivariate analysis, employing the Chi-square method. The result shows that factors such as attitudes (0.029), exposure to information (<0.001), and family support (<0.001) significantly influence maternal behavior in providing reproductive health education. However, knowledge levels do not show a significant influence on maternal behavior. In addressing these findings, we recommend strengthening family support through family counseling training programs and increasing the availability and accessibility of information on reproductive health education.

Abstract

Risk assessment is helpful for risk management because it makes significant workplace concerns easier to understand. Because of the numerous risks involved, the death care sector is regarded as one of the riskiest places to work. Nevertheless, not enough research has been done on the safety of mortuary staff in low-resource environments. This study assessed the risks associated with identified hazards in two mortuary facilities at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. This was a cross-sectional study that used a combination of methods. Thirty-six morticians participated in the study. Respondents scored low on knowledge, high on attitude, and awareness toward occupational health and safety. Only 9 (25.0%) participants knew the correct concentrations of chlorine solution required to disinfect surfaces. Only two of the six chosen volunteers could reconstitute the chlorine solution for disinfection correctly. Risks of chemical inhalation, musculoskeletal injuries, cuts, and traumatic injuries were evaluated as high. A review of incident registers revealed underreporting of injuries. While the study showed significant gaps in the occupational safety of morticians in low-resource environments, it also presents an opportunity for improvement. Regulatory agencies for morticians in Ghana must set out minimum qualifications for this critical category of health workers.

Abstract

High-level mobility is crucial for improving quality of life and ensuring active participation in daily routines and community engagement. Therefore, this scoping review explored the available evidence on factors impacting high-level mobility among traumatic brain injury (TBI) individuals and the outcome measures used to evaluate high-level mobility. Following the preferred reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, five databases were searched: Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and PubMed, yielding 109 articles, with eight meeting eligibility criteria. The keywords used in the search strategies were: traumatic brain injury, TBI, brain trauma, traumatic encephalopathy, and high-level mobility. This review revealed that the High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) was identified as the most commonly used outcome measure for assessing high-level mobility. The key factors that may influence the outcome of high level mobility in people with TBI are age, sex, mechanism of injury, duration of post-traumatic amnesia, and individual endurance. The associations between individuals’ factors and outcomes in TBI studies exhibit significant variation. This can be attributed to several factors, including the diverse characteristics of TBI samples, different neurological recovery rates, methodological differences, timing of assessments, interactions between factors, and potential moderators.

Abstract

Promoting breastfeeding self-efficacy through self-directed learning requires behavior, goal setting, and self-reinforcement. This research aims to collect insights from health professionals on strategies for improving maternal confidence in breastfeeding using self-directed learning and existing knowledge. An in-depth exploration through a two-round Delphi method rooted in the self-efficacy theory of self-directed learning for breastfeeding mothers was conducted, involving expert input and an extensive literature review. Four key documents were identified, each undergoing rigorous expert rating to ensure quality. Six essential elements for health professionals to guide breastfeeding mothers were established, focusing on lactation physiology, successful initiation, confidence building, adversity management, cultural beliefs, and public breastfeeding. Three crucial topics, including prior knowledge, personal attributes, and autonomous processes, were designed to enhance self-efficacy through self-directed learning. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the vital role of health professionals in supporting mothers through comprehensive breastfeeding guidance and encouraging self-directed learning.
