Abstract

Background: Malformations of the central nervous system (CNS) are a significant contributor to childhood morbidity and death. Congenital CNS abnormalities may result in long-term disability that affects not only the child's development and well-being but also families, the medical system, and society as a whole. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence, type, and associated risk factors of CNS malformations in newborns who were delivered to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College (NSCB Medical College). Methods: An observational hospital-based study was carried out in the departments of pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology at the NSCB Medical College and Hospital in Jabalpur. Data was entered into MS Excel, and IBM-SPSS 23.0 was used to perform descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. During a one-year study period, 40 cases of CNS malformation out of 7117 deliveries were found to have occurred either before or after birth. Results: During the study period, 40 cases of CNS malformation out of 7117 deliveries were identified either prenatally or at birth, making an incidence of 0.5%. Of all CNS anomalies, hydrocephalus accounted for 52.5 percent, whereas neural tube defects accounted for 27.5 percent. The other two main CNS abnormalities identified in utero were ventriculomegaly and midline defects. Conclusion: This study identified CNS malformations in newborns, with hydrocephalus and neural tube defects as the most common types. Key risk factors included younger maternal age, rural residence, inadequate antenatal care, adverse obstetric history, chronic illness, polyhydramnios, and maternal addiction.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) control and prevention in children is a global health priority. Despite various preventive efforts undertaken by the South Purwokerto Community Health Center, the incidence of childhood TB continues to rise. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the behaviors of toddlers' mothers in preventing TB in children in Teluk Subdistrict, South Purwokerto. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised 522 mothers of toddlers in Teluk Subdistrict, with a sample of 81 respondents selected through a multi-stage sampling procedure involving cluster and purposive sampling from integrated healthcare centers in several community units. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire in November 2023. Data analysis involved chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression. Results: The findings revealed a significant association between mothers' attitudes (p-value = 0.02) and healthcare workers' support (p-value = 0.003) and their behaviors in preventing childhood TB. Conversely, variables such as education level (p-value = 0.78), occupation (p-value = 0.51), knowledge (p-value = 0.90), and information access (p-value = 0.10) showed no significant relationship. Logistic regression analysis indicated that healthcare workers' support was the most influential factor in determining mothers' behaviors in preventing childhood TB (p-value = 0.02) (OR = 3.53). Conclusion: Healthcare workers' support emerged as the primary determinant of mothers' behaviors in preventing childhood TB in Teluk Subdistrict, South Purwokerto.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea remains the second leading public health concern, affecting children under the age of five. The World Health Organization stipulates that diarrhea diseases are responsible for approximately each year 801,000 deaths of children under five years old due to avoidable diarrhea diseases. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess Practices on Prevention of Diarrhea Disease to under Five Children Cared by Caretakers at Hombolo Ward in Dodoma, Tanzania. Methods: Cross sectional study design was used, quantitative approach was employed, 116 participants were included, stratified random sampling was used to select four strata and simple random technique was used from each stratum, questionnaires and observation methods were used to collect data among caretakers. Data analysis used Social Package Statistical Science (SPSS). Results: The findings indicate that 64.6% of the caretakers of under five children had moderate knowledge about diarrhea diseases, causes, symptoms and complications of diarrhea. Approximately 68.3 % of the caretakers had a positive attitude towards prevention of diarrhea, while 31.7 % had a negative attitude. Furthermore, it was revealed that in practice, for example,74.1% of caretakers failed to specify the methods they use to treat drinking water. Conclusion: The study concludes that the caretakers had moderate knowledge. Also, the caretakers had positive attitudes towards prevention of diarrhea. However, knowledge on diarrhea disease was not related to preventive practices as most caretakers with good knowledge often had poor preventive practices.

Abstract

Background: Infertility affects approximately 10-15% of couples in Indonesia and 48.5 million couples globally. It is a growing public health concern that impacts women due to various biological, psychological, and environmental factors. The increasing rates of female infertility, influenced by unhealthy lifestyles, emphasize the critical need for effective treatments and interventions for infertility. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between risk factors such as age, BMI, employment status of wife and husband, and menarche age with infertility. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Rizafa Clinic in 2023, involving a purposive sample of 150 women. Variables such as age, obesity (determined by BMI), age at menarche, and occupation were both analyzed, and a chi-square test was performed to assess the association between risk factors and infertility. Results: The study revealed that female infertility is significantly influenced by obesity (p = 0.001). However, there was no association between age (p = 0.150), women’s occupation (p = 0,310), husband's occupation (p = 0,233), and menarche age (p = 0,969) with infertility. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a correlation between obesity and the incidence of infertility. Lifestyle changes that support reproductive health in women include maintaining a healthy body weight as a foundation and limiting the intake of foods high in sugar, saturated fats, and processed ingredients, as these can negatively impact metabolism and hormone balance. Addressing these key risk factors through lifestyle adjustments is essential for improving fertility outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Effective communication between adolescents and their parents plays a crucial role in fostering healthy sexual and reproductive behaviors.  Despite its importance, communication remains limited in Nepal. Purpose: This study aims to assess the prevalence and determinants of adolescent-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics in rural Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 319 adolescents selected from 604 adolescents in the Jhimruk Rural Municipality, Nepal, in 2023. Participants were randomly selected using the lottery method. Data was collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were employed for categorical variables, while multivariate logistic regression identified factors influencing adolescent-parent communication on SRH. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05, and the analyses were performed using SPSS version 26. Results: Most respondents (79.9%) were below 18 years of age, with a mean age of 15.80 years (SD ±1.63). Most (93.4%) had good knowledge of SRH. However, the prevalence of adolescent-parent communication on sexual and reproductive health topics was only 58.6%, with only 4.7% communicating frequently on different SRH topics. The major reasons for not communicating included shame (41.6%) and cultural unacceptability (30.4%). Significant factors associated with adolescent-parent communication included respondents' age, sex, ethnicity, boyfriend/girlfriend status, knowledge of SRH, parental living status, and parental education and occupation. Conclusion: Although the adolescents demonstrated good SRH knowledge, the substantial gap in parent-adolescent communication underscores the need for targeted interventions. Strategies should focus on empowering adolescents to initiate conversations with parents and educate both parties about the significance of open dialogue in SRH.

Abstract

Brain tumors were estimated to occur at 6.4 per 100,000 people each year. The incidence rate of brain tumors in children is reported to be 5.7% out of every 100,000 children, while in adults, the reported rate is significantly higher at 29.9% out of every 100,000 people. Banyuwangi Regency has an area of 5,782.50 km2 with a population in 2018 of 1,609,677 people with a density of around 278 people/km2. With such a large population, early detection of brain tumors is important for the public to understand. Early detection activity programs from community health centre need to be held with the hope that health workers will be able to provide education and information regarding early symptoms and signs of brain tumors as well as risk factors for brain tumors for prevention. Increasing public knowledge about alerting the early symptoms of brain tumors is one strategy that can be used to reduce death and disability rates due to brain tumors. The aim of this community service program is to increase the knowledge of the lay public and health workers regarding early detection and early treatment of brain tumors in Banyuwangi Regency. Pre- and post-test questionnaires were given before and after the material to evaluate the increase in knowledge about brain tumors for lay people and health workers in Banyuwangi Regency. The results obtained a significant increase (p < 0.01) between the pre-test and post-test scores so that this community service increases the knowledge of the community in Banyuwangi Regency.

Abstract

Background: Population in fragile, conflict-affected, and vulnerable (FCV) countries are increasing gradually, which brings many considerations in providing universal healthcare. Healthcare workers in FCV regions work under trying conditions with severe socio-governmental security. Studies on healthcare services in FCV countries are scarce; therefore, appraisal of published documents adopting a prudent approach is considered to identify priority care in these countries.   Purpose: This research aims to weigh up information on safe healthcare measures in FCV regions by analysis of available literature to elicit facts on safer care. Methods: Related papers were searched on the basis of ‘Reduce Avoidable Harm’ as advocated by WHO among FCV countries through search engines utilising Google Scholar from December 2023 to April 2024. Four criteria on ‘Reduce Avoidable Harm’ and five criteria on ‘Prudency selection’ were categorised using information available in literature.  Twenty-two articles were considered and analysed in May-June 2024. Results: The majority of studies (36.4%) documented ‘Infection Prevention & Control’ as important; however, Context Specific Risk Management (27.3%) (CSRM) to prevent maternal & child mortality was found having higher prudency score in generalisability, feasibility, effectiveness, outcome and representativeness. Since low-middle-income countries (LMICs) are stricken with problems of high mother-child mortality, as also happens in FCV-LMICs. Conclusion: CSRM to prevent mother-child mortality was observed significantly pertinent, very alarming in LMICs and contributing around 60% of global maternal-child mortality. An urgent need is contemplated to introduce evidence-based specialist knowledge, guidance on safe healthcare including education, training, patient identification, and risk management for stakeholders.

Abstract

Background: Single Male Migrants (SMMs) are highly vulnerable and at high risk of acquiring and spreading sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to a lack of social support networks, unstable legal status, cultural and language barriers, high mobility, stress from adapting to new environments, economic difficulties, and a lack of health insurance and education. Purpose: Our study uniquely addresses a largely overlooked population - Single Male Migrants (SMMs) in Bengaluru, India. This study is the first to assess STI awareness and risky sexual behaviors and also pinpoints the major challenges encountered by this group. These findings are instrumental in bolstering policies and services pertaining to migrant health in India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 440 SMMs from the community and Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC), in urban Bengaluru, to assess their STI awareness and risky behaviors. Informed consent was obtained, and data were collected using a structured, pre-tested questionnaire using Epi Collect version 5 and analysed using IBM SPSS 22.0. Results: Of the 440 SMMs, only 25% had good awareness of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Around 31.8% of migrants had STI symptoms, but none received treatment. Risky sexual behaviors were noted among these single men with only few (6.3%) using condoms. Conclusion: The low STI awareness and risky behaviors among SMMs underscore the urgent need to enhance STI health education.

Abstract

Malaysia is a prominent destination for Indonesian migrant workers in Southeast Asia. Despite their economic importance, migrant workers are susceptible to chronic diseases, particularly hypertension and diabetes, due to constrained access to healthcare, unhealthy behaviors, and demanding working environments. The objective of this community service initiative included the assessment of the health status of Indonesian migrant workers and the promotion of awareness through screening and educational activities. This community service program was conducted in May 2024 at Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with the NGO Sharing Organization and the Indonesian Embassy. A total of 113 migrant workers participated in the event. Screening included blood pressure measurement, random blood sugar testing, eye, and reproductive health examinations. Doctoral medical students delivered a mini seminar on chronic disease prevention and management. The majority of participants were women (57%) and within the productive age group (25-55 years). Hypertension was highly prevalent (54%). The mean random blood sugar was 138 ±62.5 mg/dL). Domestic work was the most common occupation. The participants demonstrated a strong interest in health education, and feedback indicated that regular health programs would be welcomed. Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia show a high burden of hypertension and diabetes but limited disease awareness. Routine health screening, culturally appropriate education, and stronger collaboration between employers, health providers, and the Indonesian Embassy are essential to improve chronic disease prevention and sustain worker productivity.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases and significantly contributes to children under-five’s mortality in East Java in 2021-2023. Pneumonia incidence among children under-five is caused by various factors, one of which is nutritional status which can affect the body's immune system and susceptibility to infection. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between undernutrition status and Pneumonia incidence among children under-five in East Java in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Methods: An ecological study with a descriptive and analytical approach through population correlation was used. Secondary data were retrieved from the East Java Provincial Health Profile for 2021, 2022, and 2023. The QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) software was used to map the distribution of undernutrition status and Pneumonia Incidence among children under-five in East Java in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The Spearman correlation test was also used to evaluate the relationship between undernutrition status and Pneumonia incidence in East Java in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Results: The results of the study revealed a significant relationship between undernutrition status and Pneumonia incidence among children under-five in East Java for all three years, with p-values of 0.002, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively (p values <α = 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant relationship between undernutrition status and Pneumonia incidence among children under-five in East Java in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
