Abstract

The incidence of pneumothorax is 10% of all COVID-19 patients and increases in patients who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with mechanical ventilation, responsible for 24% of the population. As many as 60.7% of patients who have complications of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum lead to mortality. This study was established to determine the potential of early tracheostomy in preventing the occurrence of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum in COVID-19 and reducing mortality. This research was conducted as a descriptive study by case series of three COVID-19 patients in Jakarta, Indonesia in the span of 2021-2022. Tracheostomy performed within 10 days, did not develop a pneumothorax. Although, the patient did not have any comorbidities, age below 70 years, and coagulopathy problem, there was still a risk of recurrent pneumothorax post COVID-19 after tracheostomy. However, a tracheostomy is a procedure that poses an aerosol risk, so there is concern about the transmission of COVID-19 to medical personnel who perform it. Early tracheostomy has the potential to accelerate the resolution of COVID-19 disease in patients and has a positive impact on lung vitality. It is aimed to prevent hypoxic conditions and optimize the lung recruitment process. In addition, they did not experience complications from COVID-19 in the form of an air leak syndrome such as a pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a major public health problem, especially among children and has an economic burden at family and community levels. The present research aimed to study the frequency, distribution and determinants of atopic dermatitis in Basrah city, Iraq. A cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2020 and March 2021 at the dermatology outpatient clinic of Alfayhaa Hospital in Basrah, Iraq. The overall prevalence of the disease among children was 21.3 %. The age-specific prevalence rate among infantile, childhood and adolescent groups were 40.7%, 21.7%, and 12.1%, respectively. One hundred Four children who attended the dermatology outpatient clinic were diagnosed with Atopic dermatitis. The mean age of the patients was 6.6±2.8 years. In 87.5% of the cases, the onset of disease was before two years of age. Using objective scoring atopic dermatitis (SCORAD), the disease was classified into mild, moderate and severe with a percentage of 10.6, 83.6, and 5.8, respectively. There was no significant association between the severity of atopic dermatitis with early-onset, positive family history of atopy, nor a high body mass index (BMI). We recommend further large-scale and community-based studies to estimate the real burden of the disease with emphasis on preventive measures.

Abstract

Preterm birth (PTB) is a major public health concern and is the leading cause of under-5 child mortality. Some studies suggest that hypertension disorders of pregnancy (HDP) play an important role in causing PTB. HDP is a term that includes chronic hypertension (CH), gestational hypertension (GH), and pre-eclampsia (PE). The association between the various types of HDP and PTB has not been studied specifically in prior research, yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze risk differences among HDP types. This study was carried out in Makassar's Maternal and Child Hospital using a case-control study design. A sample consisting of 138 cases and 276 controls was collected from the medical record data. Odds ratio and logistic regression test analysis were used to obtain both crude OR (COR) and adjusted OR (AOR). The finding shows that regardless of its type, HDP is a major risk factor for preterm birth. The findings also indicated that PTB risk differs depending on the type of HDP suffered. CH had the highest risk (COR=5.61; AOR=6.58), followed by PE (COR=3.36; OR=3.18) and GH (COR=3.46; AOR=3.09), which have fairly similar risks. CH which has the greatest risk needs to be considered to be the focus of prevention. While in the context of preventing preterm delivery, GH and PE need to receive the same attention. However, prevention and treatment must still be adjusted depending on the type of hypertension suffered.

Abstract

Despite the different reviews and publications about schistosomiasis disease, it remains an economic and public health problem in the Philippines. Thereby, this study examined the trends of schistosomiasis mortality in the Philippines over 60 years concerning sex, age, and region-specific, using the data from the Philippine Health Statistics. Results show that national mortality rates have decreased from 1960-2019. The trend in schistosomiasis sex-specific mortality rates showed that men had a greater schistosomiasis- related death rate than women. For the age-specific mortality rate, children under the age of 1 have the lowest death rate compared with people over 70 having the highest death rate. For the region-specific mortality, Region VIII (Eastern Visayas) has the highest mortality rate with a value of 4, and Region XI (Davao) has the highest morbidity rate with a value of 53. To fully eradicate schistosomiasis in the succeeding years, an extensive transmission control measure and awareness education program must be implemented locally and nationally.

Abstract

Since the first declaration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, massive number of efforts have been taken to develop and deploy the COVID-19 vaccines. However, there might be hesitation towards the vaccines as there were reports of side effects. This study evaluates the COVID-19 vaccination acceptance of the Malaysian public via an online survey hosted in a COVID-19 vaccination acceptance roadshow event. This study gives an insight to the level of vaccination acceptance of the Malaysian public, while at the same time highlights the possible reasons that vaccination rejection may occur in perspectives that are specific to Malaysians. The overall vaccination acceptance of the Malaysian public is high, as most of them either prefer to get vaccinated or already been vaccinated. Most of them have good knowledge on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines and the importance of vaccination. However, the respondents may have differing opinions on their confidence level towards vaccines by specific manufacturers. These findings give an insight into the COVID-19 vaccination acceptance level of the Malaysian public and may possibly aid in effort for vaccination acceptance should there be any form of pandemic as severe as the COVID-19 pandemic occurring in the future.

Abstract

Tuberculosis has long been a public health threat in the Philippines, however, there is still no recent trend study for this country’s morbidity and deaths from the said infectious disease. With that, an age-, sex-, and region-specific morbidity and mortality trend study for tuberculosis in the Philippines was conducted for these types of studies significantly help in the surveillance and control of diseases. Data from the Philippine Health Statistics from 1960 to 2019 was mined to assess the morbidity and mortality rates from tuberculosis in terms of age, sex, and regions, which were then visualized through graphs. The results revealed that the mortality rate trend for tuberculosis in the Philippines from 1960 to 2019 declined over time. Also, as for the sex-specific mortality rate trend, it was observed that males consistently had a higher death rate in comparison to females through the years. As for the age-specific mortality rates, it increased with age, showing the direct proportionality of age to the rate of deaths. Lastly, for the region-specific morbidity and mortality rates, it was observed that Region V (Bicol Region) has the highest morbidity rate. On the other hand, Region VI (Western Visayas) has the highest mortality rate from tuberculosis.

Abstract

Heavy metals are very harmful to the environment if present in excessive concentrations and will have an effect on humans if they interact directly. Knowing the findings of heavy metal bioaccumulation in aquatic plants when reducing pollutants in liquid waste is the main goal of this study. Various types of data were developed and analyzed to answer the specific goals set through the EBSCO, ProQuest, and Science Direct Search Engine, by looking at several parameters. Bioaccumulation data for aquatic plants in liquid waste were obtained from five articles that met the criteria. The findings showed that there are six types of plants that can be used as heavy metal bioaccumulators in wastewater, including Limnobium laevigatum, Salvinia auriculata, Lemna minor, Colocasia esculenta, T. latifolia, and T. palustris. Data was also obtained that most research was carried out using liquid waste originating from within the city with a research time ranging from 1-45 days. The heavy metals that were most commonly accumulated in these plants were Zn, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Cd. It can be concluded that bioaccumulation using aquatic plants is very reliable for various types of heavy metals that can be removed.

Abstract

From 2007 to 2015, Indonesia’s maternal mortality rate (MMR) increased from 228/100,000 to 305/100,000 live births. The government has established a policy to reduce the MMR in rural and remote areas, which includes the maternal waiting home (MWH) program and the placement of community midwifery. However, the use of MWH in Indonesia, such as in South Sulawesi Province, remains low. This study aimed todetermine the impact of the community health worker (CHW) Empowerment Collaboration Model on the use of maternal waiting home (MWH). This was a quasi-experimental study with a control group and pre-post test design. This investigation was conducted at four community health centers in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. A total of 125 pregnant women were selected for the study and divided into two groups: 66 in the experimental group and 59 in the control group. The collaborative empowerment model for CHWs was implemented in five stages. CHW provided the experimental group with education. In the experimental group, there were statistically significant increases in knowledge, attitude, and MWH use, whereas there were no statistically significant increases in the control group. Community health worker empowerment with a collaboration model significantly improves pregnant women's knowledge, attitudes, and MWH utilization outcomes (210%).

Abstract

Differences of land ownership statuses between farmers who grow their land and workers with a profit-sharing system will result in income disparities. The low income received due to reduced levels of rice productivity affects the health status of farmers. Therefore, this study compares the health status between farmers who are owners and workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2022, this cross-sectional study was carried out in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Hb, fasting glucose, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) were all assessed in a total of 100 farmers. Blood samples were taken at 3 cc using an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant vacutainer tube and 5 cc using a plain vacutainer tube, then analyzed in PRODIA Laboratory. A validated tool was used to check blood pressure and BMI. Furthermore, 74% of the 100 farmers surveyed are farm owners, while 26% are workers. The results show that there is no difference in the health status of owners and workers on metabolic biomarkers including Hb, fasting glucose, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, systolic/systole blood pressure, and BMI. In addition, a number of biomarker indicators, including Hb, fasting glucose, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, were found to surpass the threshold. Therefore, farmers need to maintain their health status by performing physical activity, consuming healthy food, and reducing their exposure to insecticides with personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent metabolic diseases in the future.

Abstract

The growing prevalent of female cancer malignancies and the cancer care transition from clinical-based into home-based care have resulted in the growing involvement of family caregiver (FCG) in cancer management. The caregiving activity may be appraised as positive or negative life aspect. Negative family appraisal may result in FCG burden. This study expected to examine the effect of FCG appraisal of cancer caregiving on their burden in community context. This cross-sectional study involved 60 FCG of female cancer patients in five communities of Surabaya. Population was all primary FCG of female cancer patients in Surabaya’s communities. Family appraisal and caregiver burden were measured by questionnaires of family appraisal of caregiving questionnaire for palliative care (FACQ-PC) and caregiver burden inventory (CBI) respectively. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistic and simple linear regression tests. Most respondents were spouses with very mature age (41-50 years old), high school graduated, and working with sufficient income. The majority appraised cancer caregiving activities positively (80.67±16.31) and reported low burden (32.02±12.23). FCG appraisal has a huge impact on their burden (p=0.000). It influences 20.7% variance of burden in this population (R2=0.207).
