Abstract

Early detection of prediabetes plays a critical role in preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially within primary care, where access to laboratory testing may be constrained. Non-laboratory-based risk assessment instruments, including the tool to assess the likelihood of fasting glucose impairment (TAG-IT), can facilitate preliminary risk screening. This study sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the TAG-IT questionnaire in detecting prediabetes, using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) as the reference standard. A cross-sectional design was implemented across three community health centers in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Although 308 individuals were initially enrolled, only 93 participants with complete datasets were eligible for final analysis. The discriminative capacity of TAG-IT was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis along with a contingency table. Among the participants analyzed, 24.7% (23/93) were classified as having prediabetes. The TAG-IT tool exhibited modest discriminatory performance, yielding an AUC of 0.656 (95% CI 0.525-0.786; p = 0.026). Using the identified optimal threshold, sensitivity reached 52.2% while specificity was 67.1%. The negative predictive value was 81.0%, indicating better performance in excluding low-risk individuals. Overall, TAG-IT demonstrated moderate utility as a preliminary screening instrument in primary healthcare, particularly for identifying individuals unlikely to have prediabetes.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common during pregnancy due to physiological and anatomical changes that predispose women to infections. One such condition, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), if left undiagnosed and untreated, can lead to serious maternal complications such as pyelonephritis, postpartum UTI, and hypertensive disorders, as well as neonatal complications including preterm birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ASB, identify the major uropathogens, and analyze their antibiotic susceptibility patterns in pregnant women, to guide effective antenatal care and treatment. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 midstream urine samples, which were cultured using standard microbiological techniques. The bacterial isolates obtained were identified, and their antibiotic susceptibility was determined following standard guidelines. Out of 100 samples, 14 (14%) were positive for significant bacteriuria. The most common isolates were Staphylococcus aureus (42.8%), followed by Escherichia coli (28.6%) and Klebsiella species (28.6%). ASB was most prevalent in women aged 21-30 years (64.3%), during the first trimester (64.2%), and among multigravida women (57.2%). The isolated organisms showed good susceptibility to Ceftazidime/Clavulanic acid, Ciprofloxacin, Vancomycin, Amikacin, Piperacillin–Tazobactam, Imipenem, Teicoplanin, and Linezolid. Early detection and treatment can significantly reduce adverse outcomes, making bacteriuria screening an essential part of routine antenatal care.

Abstract

An awareness campaign aims to reach out to the public, measure the outreach accurately, and motivate the public to act. In other words, awareness campaigns deliver messages on the importance and effects of the promoted event to the audience. However, studies that examine the users’ perception of design for behavior change through gamified health awareness campaigns are limited, especially in combating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Subsequently, analysis of such perceptions is crucial in supporting game designers in developing engaging games for health awareness campaigns. Thus, the current study explores users’ perceptions based on elements in the GAMEBC Model: Autonomy, Relatedness, Competence, and Engaging. A total of 180 students from UiTM Cawangan Melaka (UiTMCM), Jasin Campus, participated in the study. The data was evaluated using conventional descriptive statistical methods. The findings revealed users’ perceptions of the design for behavior change in the context of a gamified health awareness campaign. The study offers a valuable understanding of the necessity of creating a comprehensive gamified campaign that promotes behavioral change for improved quality of life.

Abstract

Health students often face academic pressure and interpersonal conflicts that can affect their emotional regulation, thereby increasing the risk of self-harm behavior. This study aimed to explore the emotional experiences of health students who have engaged in self-harm through a phenomenological approach. A total of 8 participants (aged 18-25 years) who had engaged in self-harm and came from various health study programs participated in in-depth interviews lasting 45-70 minutes. The results of the study reveal three main themes: i) psychosocial stress as a trigger for negative emotions, ii) the role of social support in the recovery process, and iii) coping mechanisms and the need for professional intervention. These findings reveal emotional dynamics that have not been widely explored in the context of health students in Indonesia, particularly how self-harm is perceived as a strategy to control excessive emotional intensity. This study makes a new contribution by highlighting the need for interventions based on emotional regulation and increased social support that are appropriate to the subjective experiences of health students. Interventions based on empathy and psychological approaches that are more sensitive to the cultural context of the campus are the main recommendations.

Abstract

The liver is an organ that has an important role in metabolic and detoxification processes. Alcohol consumption will cause metabolic disorders in the liver and can cause changes in histological structures. Interleukin-6 has a profound role in liver pathology and plays an important role in the body's defense mechanism, and contributes to the manifestation of tissue damage. This study was an experimental study using 20 Rattus norvegicus treated with 25% alcohol, and a normal treatment only given distilled water. Histological observations were carried out on each preparation in 5 fields of view. The hepatotoxicity effect of alcohol was observed based on the presence of cell degeneration and necrosis in histological preparations stained with hematoxylin eosin. IL-6 detection with polymerase chain reaction was analyzed qualitatively using electrophoresis. Based on the statistical test results, the sig. (2 tailed) of 0.00 < 0.05 so that it can be seen that there is a significant difference in histological results between the normal control group without treatment and the group induced by alcohol. The administration of alcoholic beverages with 25% ethanol content in vivo for 21 days causes necrosis and bleeding around the hepatocyte cells. IL-6 overview appeared to be stronger in the group with alcohol-induced drinking, it could indicate that giving alcohol causes a higher inflammatory response. This study provides scientific evidence that alcohol consumption significantly damages the liver. Further research can be conducted to increase the sample size and quantitatively assess IL-6 expression.

Abstract

Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with significant pandemic potential. Large outbreaks, such as in Malaysia, required the culling of over one million pigs to control transmission. However, the epidemiology of NiV among animal hosts, including pigs, horses, and bats, remains incompletely understood. NiV infection primarily affects the respiratory and nervous systems, causing severe pneumonia, vasculitis, and meningitis, while encephalitis may be mild or infrequent in some cases. This systematic review summarizes current evidence on NiV mutational variation, pathogenesis, treatment strategies, and vaccine development up to 2022. Data were collected from major databases, including PubMed, PMC, and Cochrane Library. Due to limited therapeutic options, NiV management relies mainly on supportive care, as no approved vaccines or specific antiviral treatments are available for humans or livestock. Preventive strategies focus on reducing zoonotic transmission, particularly by minimizing contact between livestock and bat-contaminated food sources, and improving farm management practices. Early detection and continuous surveillance of high-risk populations and animal reservoirs are essential for outbreak control. Current vaccine research targets viral antigens using subunit and vector-based approaches. Overall, further studies are urgently needed to develop effective vaccines and antiviral therapies for NiV infection.

Abstract

Tacrolimus remains a principal immunosuppressive agent in kidney transplantation, yet its reported efficacy and safety vary due to differences in study design, treatment regimens, and patient characteristics. Objectives: To summarize recent evidence on the clinical performance of tacrolimus in adult kidney transplant recipients and identify factors contributing to variability in outcomes. A narrative review was conducted using PubMed as the primary database because of its comprehensive indexing of clinical and pharmacological studies relevant to transplant immunosuppression. Additional databases were screened to ensure completeness. Studies published between 2015 and 2025 were searched using predefined keywords. Of 91 open-access articles identified, 19 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Results: Reported clinical outcomes demonstrated wide variability across studies. Acute rejection ranged from 0-18.8%, while biopsy-proven acute rejection varied substantially (0-85%). Graft loss occurred in 0-15% of recipients and mortality in 0-8%. Major adverse events were also heterogeneous, including cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (0-16.9%), new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) (0-22.8%), and tremor (3-28.6%). Variability in findings was largely influenced by differences in study methodology, concomitant immunosuppressive protocols, monitoring practices, population characteristics, and limited ethnic diversity, as most participants were Caucasian. Tacrolimus maintains a strong efficacy-safety profile in adult kidney transplantation. Future studies with more diverse populations, standardized therapeutic drug monitoring, and longer follow-up durations are required to enhance generalizability and support individualized immunosuppressive management.

Abstract

Self-medication, a popular self-care practice, is common throughout the world and is responsible for serious health complications. The present investigation assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of self-medication among healthcare and non-healthcare students at Daffodil International University, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey of 240 students from the Pharmacy and Environmental Science Departments, ages 19 to 24, was carried out between October 2022 and January 2023. Socio-demographics, knowledge, attitudes, information sources, common medications, and diseases treated were all covered in the pre-tested questionnaire used to gather data. SPSS v16.0 with correlations and descriptive statistics was used for the analysis. Among 240 participants, 50.8% were health science students and 49.2% were non-health science students; 45.8% were male, and 54.2% were female. Most (74.2%, p < 0.01) were aged 21-22 years, mainly in the 4th year (43.3%, p < 0.001). Knowledge analysis showed 37.5% knew over-the-counter (OTC) drugs (p < 0.001) and 55% supported self-medication for minor illness. Common conditions treated were headache (49.2%), fever (23.3%), and cold (16.7%). Painkillers were the most used drugs (39.2%), with family members as the main source of advice (50%). Knowledge had a significant correlation with health science students (p < 0.001). Attitudes revealed 70% used self-medication in the last 6 months; 67.5% discouraged peers, 55.8% reused prescriptions, 73.3% read leaflets, and 61.2% consulted doctors for adverse effects. Previous experiences (74.2%) were the main reason for self-medication. Self-medication is widespread among university students. Health science students demonstrated better knowledge and awareness against self medication while contrasted to non-healthcare students. Awareness programs are needed for all groups.

Abstract

Frequent updates to clinical guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic have posed significant challenges for audit processes, quality improvement, and the preparedness of healthcare professionals, particularly in intensive care settings. This study aimed to explore the impact of COVID-19-related demands on medical education and training from the perspective of healthcare teams working in intensive care units (ICUs) in Indonesia during the first wave of the pandemic. A qualitative design was employed using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with medical personnel directly involved in the care of COVID-19 patients at national referral hospitals. Purposive sampling was applied to recruit participants, including general practitioners, interns, residents, anesthesiologists, and ICU consultants. A total of 66 participants were included across eight focus group discussions, each consisting of eight to nine participants. Data collection continued until thematic saturation was achieved. Transcripts were analyzed using content analysis to identify key themes and subthemes. The analysis revealed five major themes: i) the need for continuous upgrading of knowledge and competencies, ii) the importance of innovative education and training approaches, iii) the role of professional organizations, iv) challenges encountered during training implementation, and v) time constraints. These findings highlight the urgent need for adaptive, continuous, and technology-supported training strategies to strengthen intensive care workforce preparedness during public health emergencies.
