Abstract

Background: Stress prevalence increases by 5% in 15-year-olds and over in Surabaya. Stress causing negative effects is called distress. It may affect teenagers’ nutritional status without considering their diet, leading to growth inhibition if it occurs continuously. It follows Riskesdas’s (2013) data stating that 13-15-year-olds have a nutritional status of 3.3% very thin, 7.8% thin, 8.3% overnutrition, and 2.5% obese. Therefore, this study aimed to discover the relationship between stress level and nutritional status at SMP Negeri 56 Surabaya due to its dense academic and non-academic activities. Based on JPNN.com, several students hurt themselves using a blade due to psychological problems. Methods: This study used an observational analytical study design through a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was performed using the DASS-21 questionnaire and weight and height measurements, then analyzed using the Pearson Correlation or Rank Spearman test. Conclusion: the stress level was not related to the nutritional status of eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 56 Surabaya, observed from the current nutritional status (BB/U), past nutritional status (TB/U), and body proportion (IMT/U).

Abstract

Antenatal Care (ANC) is a health service by trained health workers for mothers during their pregnancy, which must be carried out routinely, according to standards and in an integrated manner. ANC services are indispensable and recommended for pregnant women in order to maintain the health of the mother and fetus during pregnancy, detect and treat abnormalities early and prepare the mother for safe delivery. In fact, there are still many pregnant women who do not access ANC services according to standards, so this situation can contribute to morbidity and mortality rate (MMR).The research was conducted in November 2020 – March 2021 by searching for secondary data from two electronic databases, namely Google Scholer and Pubmed (2015 to 2020). Studies were selected through the PRISMA protocol and critically assessed using JBI’s Critical Appraisal Tool. Test for heterogeneity, summary effect and publication bias using the JASP application version 0.14.1. Odd ratio with 95% confidence level (CI) was used to calculate the effect size. From the selected data, the husband’s knowledge and support factors have quite a lot of differences in research results, so it is necessary to re-analyze the relationship of husband’s knowledge and support during pregnancy with ANC visits by pregnant women to produce more accurate conclusions. Based on the inclusion criteria, there were 17 studies that could be included in the meta-analysis, with 3.956 respondents from Indonesia, Ethiopia and Vietnam. Homogeneous data with the combined OR value of knowledge of pregnant women with ANC visits is 2,48 (95% CI; 2,01-3,03) and the relationship of husband’s support during pregnancy with ANC visits is 2,03 (95% CI; 1,65-2,51), and there are publications biased. This meta-analysis confirms that there is a significant positive relationship between husband’s knowledge and support during pregnancy and ANC visits.

Abstract

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented global crisis. It has placed many strains on the health systems of countries around the world. They had to, among other things, fight simultaneously against this pandemic, treat the affected people, preserve the rest of the population, while continuing to take care of the other patients. Faced with this situation, the development of the use of ICT in health establishments is a necessity today more than ever in order to limit any kind of contamination in hospitals, especially that caused by the spread of covid-19 on the one hand, and to digitize the relationship between caregiver and patient on the other hand. All these challenges require the availability of digital tools in health institutions and require health professionals well informed and trained in this sense. In this respect, the use of digital tools and telehealth (E-health, telemedicine, telecare....) is a priority step to consolidate health systems, as these new technologies allow patients to receive accessible, safe and adapted virtual care.Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the level of adaptation of the Moroccan health system to the covid-19 pandemic through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in health facilities (hospitals and primary health care facilities), in order to combat coronavirus contamination in the latter (stop contamination: professional to professional, professional to patient and patient to patient). Methods: The online questionnaire technique allowed us to collect 500 responses from health professionals spread over all Moroccan regions. Results: (86%) of the interviewees declared the existence of a covid-19 service within their institutions, with a majority of (91%) never received training in the use of ICT. (51%) of the health, professionals confirmed the absence of digital tools in the covid-19 services. (87%) announced that the covid-19 services do not have applications for the registration of patients suspected or affected by SARS covid-19. In addition, (79%) of the respondents expressed their dissatisfaction with the use of ICT. In the same context, (72%) of the participants stated that the use of ICT can limit the spread of SARS covid-19 in health facilities. Conclusion: The health crisis has confirmed the importance of digitalization in the health sector. To do so, the state must place digital tools at the center of its interests as a major reform project for the Moroccan health system. The adoption of new technologies in the health sector can help health care practitioners to efficiently provide quality care to patients in order to limit any kind of contamination.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 discovered in December 2019, Wuhan, China. It was transmitted globally producing the present COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns have been raised about the potential impact of COVID-19 on male reproductive organs and male fertility as the number of infections in the male community has increased. The objectives of current study are studying the relationship between the plasma levels of testosterone and the markers of immune reaction with the severity and mortality in a sample of COVID-19 patients. A cross section study included NO= 103 male patients affected by SARS- CoV-2 pneumonia, diagnosed by PCR and chest CT scan, (≥ 18 years old), and recovered in the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU). Several biochemical risk factors were determined Free Testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA), D-dimer, Ferritin, CRP, Urea, Creatinine were measured by automated method by using Abbott Architect c4000 and Complete Blood Count(CBC). The results show that the serum free testosterone and SHBG levels a significant lower in non-survivor patients than survivor patients with COVID-19. While the other biomarkers (D-dimer, Ferritin, Urea, Creatinine) were significant higher in non-survivor patients than survivor patients. The CRP, WBC and lymphocyte showed that no significant between the both group of patients. In conclusion the study showed that lower free testosterone and SHBG levels enable significant role in increasing risk of COVID-19 mortality amongst adult male patients

Abstract

Background/aim: Dehydration due to inadequate water intake in children may disrupt brain functions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hydration education with water provision on hydration status, cognitive functions and motor performance. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight children in primary full-day school (age 8 – 11 years) were recruited in this study. The intervention of hydration education was performed for two days, both for students and teachers. The water was provision for 12 days. Letter cancellation task (LCT), symbol digit modalities test (SDMT), and direct image different test (DIDT) were used to assess cognitive functions. Motor performance was evaluated using a finger tapping test (FTT). Hydration status was determined with urine specific gravity (USG) and urine color (UC). Before and after interventions, all parameters were evaluated.Results: Most students found dehydrated (>65%). The students had lower USG and UC after the intervention and it was correlated with each other (before; rs=0.45, P = 0.001 and after; rs=0.82, P = 0.001). All cognitive and motor functions were significantly higher after an intervention (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Hydration education to students and teachers combined with water provision at primary full-day school increases hydration status and enhances cognitive and fine motor skills.

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important causative bacteria of nosocomial infections. Attention turned toward this Gram negative bacterium due to its extensive resistance to antibiotics. Clinical One hundred thirty five samples sources (urine, sputum, wound burn,) were collected during the period from the between from the late September 2020 to the Mid-January 2021,from patients attending four hospitals in Anbar governorate which include (AlRamadi Genera Teaching ,Al- Fallujah Genera Teaching and Fallujah Maternity and Children’s Hospital). Regarding to the age group factor, the age group (40-49) years more susceptible to the infection is constituting 6(46.1%), followed by group(30-39) years with 3(23.1%) while (20-29)(50-59) and (60-69) years with percentage at 1(7.7)%. Also, the study indicated that the A.baumannii was disrupted equal in male (53.8%) and female (46.2 %) with appear no significant. All specimens were cultured on culture media including blood agar and MaCconkey agar. After the growth of bacteria, the isolates were identified by microscopic examination as well as the biochemical tests including the manual biochemical tests that include( oxidase, catalase, Simmon Citrate, Motility, Indole, Urease ,haemolysin,Lactose fermentationrowth at 44 ºC) .The identification of P. mirabilis confirmed by using the VITEK-2 system. A total of 13(9.6%) isolates of A.baumannii were identified,other bacteria obtained were identified as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella .pneumoniae and streptococcus spp. in percentage recorded (37%) , (22%) (20.2%) and (11%) respectively. The genomic DNA of A.baumannii isolates were extracted using wizard genomic DNA purification kit, the extracted genomic DNA was analyzed using 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and then the concentration and purity of the extracted genomic DNA were determined using Nanodrop spectrophotometer device, to detect A.baumannii isolates by molecular methods, the extracted genomic DNA of these isolates was submitted for amplification to detect the specific gene Bap and abaI by the singleplex PCR assay. At the molecular level of this study, the results of PCR reaction showed the presence of abaI gene in 8 (61.54%) isolates carried the gene responsible for quorum sensing
