Abstract

This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out at Tertiary Care Institute from September 2020 to January 2021 in Pakistan. All pediatric patients with congenital ophthalmological abnormalities, scheduled for ophthalmological surgeries or examinations born with uncomplicated pregnancies and parturition were included in the study. Since government basic pay scales are fixed, it gives an estimation of average income, therefore, these were employed to determine socioeconomic status. If a couple had a history of infertility and complicated pregnancy or parturition, they were excluded from the study. The mean maternal and paternal age was recorded to be 23.86±5.4 and 27.07±9.6 respectively. We studied 184 children with congenital abnormalities, with a ratio of 126 (68.5%) males and 58 (31.5%) females. The median age in years was reported to be 2.0 years with a 25% inter-quartile range of 1.0. The most common congenital abnormality observed was congenital cataract, reported in 66/184 (35.9%) of the children, followed by squint present in 17/184 (9.24%) children and retinoblastoma was reported in 12/184 (6.52%) of children. Parents from the lower middle income group were more likely to have undergone inter-family marriages compared to the middle and upper middle income group, respectively (80% vs. 62% vs. 20%). There is an evidence that cataracts and retinoblastoma in the studied Pakistani population are dependent on the age of patients and consanguinity and later, in turn caused by socioeconomic status. It is highly unlikely to establish a link that glaucoma is caused by consanguinity and socioeconomic status. Congenital malformations were observed in a greater proportion of pediatric patients whose parents had consanguineous marriages than non-consanguineous parents. Congenital anomalies in ophthalmological patients are more common and are on the rise consistently due to a lack of awareness both in numbers and spectrum. The congenital anomalous patient needs a team effort for the disease management. The psychological impact on the parents of the affected child is significant and they need prolonged psychological support to prepare themselves to fight with prolonged illness and care.

Abstract

Postpartum depression is a serious issue affecting mothers after childbirth and can harm both maternal mental health and child development. Hormonal declines postpartum increase vulnerability, often compounded by high stress and limited social support—especially from husbands. This study reviews nine articles from the past five years to examine how husband support maintains postpartum maternal mental health. Database searches with strict inclusion criteria and mixed-method analyses were conducted. Findings show that strong husband support—physical, emotional, and informational—reduces postpartum depression risk by more than twofold. Spousal relationship quality, maternal age, and socioeconomic conditions also influence outcomes, while insufficient husband support can affect fathers’ mental health. This study underscores the need for educating and engaging husbands during the postpartum period. These findings inform inclusive maternal mental health policies and programs, including: adoption and enforcement of routine EPDS screening as standard care (aligned with WHO recommendations and Indonesia’s Permenkes No. 21/2021 on maternal mental health services); strengthening family-centered services that actively involve husbands (partner-inclusive antenatal/postnatal classes, structured father education, couple counseling); culturally sensitive supports across socioeconomic contexts; and clear referral pathways from primary care to specialized services to ensure timely, equitable treatment for all mothers and families.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease caused by genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, patients with DM type 2 requires regular control. One of the health facilities that allows a fine control and follow up over patients with DM is telemedicine. This study aimed to estimate the average effectiveness of telemedicine on glycemic management (HbA1C) of patients with DM type 2. The current research employed a systematic review with meta-analysis research design. The subjects of the study were articles published in 2005 - 2021. The article search was conducted for a maximum of 1 month over journal databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The primary study employed Randomized Controlled Trial with articles search according to the established PICO model, where P (Population), in this sense, patients suffering from DM type 2, I (Intervention) which was Telemedicine, C (Comparison) or non-telemedicine, and O (Outcome), which was glycemic management (HbA1c). A total of 10 primary studies were assessed with Critical Appraisal Center for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM). The results demonstrated that telemedicine is effective in glycemic management (HbA1c) of DM type-2 patients with a p-value of <0.05, namely p<0.04 and a standardized mean difference (SMD) value of -0.24 (95% CI, -0.34 to -0.15). The results of this meta-analysis provide strong scientific evidence regarding the benefits of telemedicine in lowering HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 DM.

Abstract

Postpartum anxiety affects approximately 30–40% of mothers and can reduce breast milk production by inhibiting the let-down reflex. Effective and holistic non-pharmacological interventions are still limited. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of the combination of SEFT and SPEOS therapy in addressing anxiety and increasing breast milk production in the postpartum period. This study used a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group. A total of 48 postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria were divided into intervention and control groups using a purposive sampling technique. The intervention group received a combination of Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique therapy and Endorphin, Oxytocin, and Suggestive Massage Stimulation for eight sessions (4 weeks) lasting 30–45 minutes. Anxiety levels were measured using the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (PSAS), while breast milk production was recorded based on volume. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. The results of this study indicate that the combination of SEFT and SPEOS therapy effectively reduces anxiety and significantly increases breast milk production (p < 0.05). The combination of SEFT and SPEOS is a non-pharmacological intervention that contributes practically to midwifery services to support successful exclusive breastfeeding and theoretically expands understanding of the interaction of psychological and neurohormonal factors in lactation.

Abstract

This study examined factors associated with outpatient patient satisfaction at Datu Sanggul Regional Public Hospital, Rantau, integrating Donabedian’s structure–process–outcome, SERVQUAL, and Swanson’s Caring Theory to explicitly link facilities (structure) and waiting time, social interaction, service effectiveness, and nurse caring (processes) to satisfaction (outcome). Using purposive sampling justified by operational access to experienced OPD users, we surveyed N = 124 adults in June 2025 with 5-point Likert instruments adapted via forward–back translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Descriptive statistics summarized domains; bivariate associations used chi-square (α = .05). Multivariable analysis applied ordinal logistic regression with assumption checks (multicollinearity, logit linearity where applicable, Test of Parallel Lines), and sensitivity plans for partial proportional odds when required. The final model outperformed the intercept-only model (likelihood ratio p < .001) and explained substantial variation (Nagelkerke R² = 0.66). Waiting time showed a strong negative association with satisfaction (Estimate = −6.710, p = .001), while social interaction, service effectiveness, and nurse caring were not statistically significant after adjustment. Findings emphasize process improvements—particularly queue transparency and throughput optimization—over incremental facility enhancements once adequacy thresholds are met. The study advances evidence from regional Indonesian hospitals, offering actionable levers for patient-centered outpatient redesign.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of a syrup combining Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (roselle) and Ocimum sanctum L. (basil) extracts in male rats exposed to oxidative stress induced by used cooking oil (UCO). A randomized controlled design was applied using six treatment groups, including single and combined extract syrups. Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, were measured before induction, after UCO exposure, and following treatment. Results showed a significant rise in MDA levels after UCO induction, confirming oxidative stress. Administration of roselle–basil syrup markedly reduced plasma MDA compared with the induced control (p < 0.05). The optimal formulation achieved up to a 96–97% reduction in MDA levels, indicating strong antioxidant efficacy. This effect is attributed to the synergistic action of anthocyanins from roselle and eugenol and rosmarinic acid from basil, which act as radical scavengers and metal chelators. These findings validate the synergistic potential of the roselle–basil combination in mitigating oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. The study highlights its promise as a natural, safe, and locally sourced antioxidant formulation, offering a foundation for developing functional beverages or nutraceutical products aimed at preventing oxidative damage from dietary lipid oxidation.
