Abstract

Dengue is a common tropical mosquito-borne viral disease that is affected by environmental factors such as rainfall, temperature, and urbanization. This study investigates the relationship of the environmental factors with the distribution of Aedes mosquitoes on dengue transmission in areas identified as suburban and rural in the Kluang district, Johor. Weekly ovitrap surveys were conducted at 20 study sites over four consecutive weeks, with traps retrieved and replaced every seven days. Concurrently, temperature and humidity readings were recorded three times daily to assess their relationship with Aedes mosquito populations. The results indicate a significantly higher Aedes mosquito populations and dengue incidence in the suburban area (Taman Sri Kluang) compared to the rural area (Kampung Palembang). Higher temperatures and lower humidity were strongly associated with increased mosquito abundance and dengue prevalence. Statistical analysis were conducted using R version 4.4.3. The results confirm significant differences in Aedes density and environmental conditions between the two study areas. These findings underscore the need for targeted vector control interventions, climate-adaptive public health strategies, and enhanced dengue surveillance in high-risk areas. Public health intervention should include enhanced vector control in suburban areas, such as frequent larvicidal treatments and improved drainage management. In rural areas, pre-emptive source reduction before peak rainy periods and promotion of covered water storage systems can help minimize mosquito breeding. Additionally, climate-based early warning systems should be integrated into vector surveillance programs to predict and mitigate dengue outbreaks effectively. Community engagement through education campaigns and neighbourhood clean-ups should also be prioritized to sustain long-term dengue prevention efforts. The findings contribute to a better understanding of how climate variability affects mosquito populations, emphasizing the importance of integrating environmental monitoring into dengue prevention programs. Future research should explore the long-term implications of climate change on dengue transmission dynamics.

Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy continues to be a significant public health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries, often leading to severe maternal and neonatal complications. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between date fruit consumption and improvements in hemoglobin levels, as well as the acceleration of Stage I labor among anemic pregnant women. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent case-control approach was utilized, involving 48 pregnant women with anemia at Permata Bunda Clinic, Serang City, from March to August 2024. The intervention group consumed approximately 70 grams (5–7 fruits) of dates daily for four consecutive weeks before delivery, while the control group received standard iron supplementation alone. Hemoglobin levels were assessed using the cyanmethemoglobin method, and labor duration was measured using a standard partograph. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in hemoglobin levels (p = 0.002) and reduced duration of labor (p < 0.002) in the date-consuming group compared to the control group. These findings highlight date consumption as an effective, culturally acceptable, and practical strategy to manage anemia and accelerate labor among pregnant women, suggesting its integration into antenatal care programs. Abstrak: Anemia pada kehamilan masih menjadi permasilahan kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan, terutama di negara-negara berpenghasilan rendah dan menengah, yang sering menyebabkan komplikasi serius pada ibu dan bayi baru lahir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara konsumsi buah kurma dengan peningkatan kadar hemoglobin serta percepatan proses persalinan tahap pertama pada ibu hamil anemia. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuasi-eksperimental dengan pendekatan non-equivalent case-control, melibatkan 48 ibu hamil anemia di Klinik Permata Bunda, Kota Serang, periode Maret hingga Agustus 2024. Kelompok intervensi mengonsumsi buah kurma sebanyak 70 gram (5–7 buah) setiap hari selama empat minggu berturut-turut menjelang persalinan, sementara kelompok kontrol hanya mendapat suplementasi zat besi standar. Kadar hemoglobin diukur menggunakan metode cyanmethemoglobin, dan durasi persalinan dinilai dengan partograf standar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan kadar hemoglobin yang signifikan secara statistik (p = 0,002) serta penurunan durasi persalinan yang signifikan (p < 0,002) pada kelompok yang mengonsumsi kurma dibanding kelompok kontrol. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi kurma merupakan strategi yang efektif, praktis, dan dapat diterima secara budaya dalam mengelola anemia dan mempercepat proses persalinan pada ibu hamil, sehingga direkomendasikan untuk diintegrasikan ke dalam program pelayanan antenatal.

Abstract

Preterm neonates frequently encounter health challenges due to immaturity of organ systems, particularly metabolic complications such as hypoglycemia. This study aimed to analyze gestational age as a risk factor for neonatal hypoglycemia in a secondary hospital setting. An observational retrospective design was employed using medical records of preterm neonates born before 37 weeks gestation, admitted to Mitra Delima Hospital, Malang, Indonesia, between January and December 2023. Neonates with diabetic mothers or congenital anomalies were excluded. Hypoglycemia was defined as blood glucose levels below 60 mg/dL measured via heel puncture. Of 59 preterm neonates studied, 17 (29%) experienced hypoglycemia, while 42 (71%) maintained normoglycemia. Cesarean section deliveries accounted for 74.6% of the cases, with no significant differences in maternal age or neonatal complications between groups. Gestational age was significantly lower in hypoglycemic neonates compared to those normoglycemic (mean 24.18 vs. 33.93 weeks; p=0.045), although birth weight alone did not significantly correlate with hypoglycemia. These findings suggest that lower gestational age constitutes a primary risk factor for neonatal hypoglycemia. Thus, rigorous clinical monitoring and targeted screening protocols are strongly recommended, especially for neonates born prematurely, to mitigate hypoglycemia-related morbidity and long-term neurodevelopmental complications.

Abstract

Breast self-examination (BSE) is an accessible, self-performed screening method for detecting potential changes or abnormalities in the breast such as breast cancer, allowing individuals to familiarize themselves with their normal breast tissue and identify any unusual signs, but it is not a substitute for other breast cancer screening methods like mammograms or clinical exams. The objective of this research was to assess attitudes towards Breast Cancer and BSE in middle aged females from Lahore Pakistan.This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at OPD of Chaudhary Muhammad Akram Teaching and Research Hospital, Azra Naheed Medical College Superior University Lahore Pakistan. Fifty females attending OPD of the hospital, aged 35 to 45 years were enrolled in the study after taking informed consent using non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Females with a present or past diagnosis of breast abnormalities (cysts, mastitis, benign or malignant tumors) were excluded from the study. Demographic information was noted and then the participants filled a structured questionnaire comprising of 3 domains: first domain was regarding attitude towards Breast Cancer; second domain was about attitude towards BSE; while the third domain focused on BSE and mammography practices. All the data was entered and analyzed through SPSS version 26. Majority of the females were aged 35 to 40 years (33, 66.0%). Based on socioeconomic background, 19 (38.0%) females belonged to middle socio-economic status. Majority of the females (17, 34.0%) were undergraduates on educational status followed by 16 (32.0%) illiterate. Forty (80.0%) were married. In the present study, 37 (74.0%) females had heard about Breast Cancer but only 09 (18.0%) were aware about BSE. Only 09 (18.0%) respondents reported performing BSE while 14 (28.0%) had a history of mammographic scan. Advice from friends (04, 8.0%) was the biggest sources of BSE information. Attitude regarding breast cancer and BSE was poor in our study. Our study highlights the need to promote knowledge and awareness regarding breast cancer and BSE by educational programs, public health messages, seminars and through social media. Targeted public health interventions should be done, including educational campaigns and community outreach, to improve awareness and encourage early detection practices such as BSE and mammography, especially among less educated and lower-income women.

Abstract

Introduction. Stress in heart patients is caused by unpreparedness in accepting the verdict given by health workers. The way and sentence of delivery that is done directly provides shock therapy to heart patients which increases stress. Stress can result in problems in all systems of the human body. Methods. Data collection was carried out using participant demographic data and measurement of stress conditions with the Perceive Stress Scale (PSS) which will be analyzed using univariate, bivariate and Anova. The sampling technique of this study used purposive sampling inclusion criteria willing to become participants, patients with stage-1 heart failure (NYHA), not experiencing visual and hearing impairment, communicative and cooperative Results. The tcount value is 22.798 which is greater than ttable (2.035) for a confidence level of df=33 at a confidence level of 95%, so it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means there is a difference in reducing stress in heart failure sufferers between before and after the intervention in the therapy group reminiscence. Conclusion. The reduction in stress in heart failure sufferers with Reminiscence therapy after the intervention was better than Reminiscence therapy before the intervention and there was a significant reduction in stress in heart failure sufferers with reminiscence therapy treatment.

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.
