Abstract

Background: Typhoid fever is a prevalent febrile illness in tropical regions where public health infrastructure and sanitation are limited. Pancytopenia resulting from hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but severe complication of typhoid fever that can be fatal without proper management. Objective: This case report aims to describe the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of a typhoid fever patient who developed pancytopenia, altered consciousness, and speech impairment. Methods: A comprehensive evaluation was conducted, including the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests. Laboratory workups revealed pancytopenia, positive TUBEX IgM for Salmonella, lymphadenopathy, and bone marrow aplasia. Differential diagnoses were considered and ruled out to confirm HLH as the underlying mechanism. Results: The patient responded positively to a regimen including ceftriaxone, steroids, and supportive care. The presence of pancytopenia in this typhoid fever case was linked to HLH. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy are critical for managing severe typhoid fever cases with complications such as HLH, helping prevent further complications and improving patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed to manage gastrointestinal disorders, especially gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, long-term PPI use has been linked to serious side effects and potential complications. Objective: This study aims to analyze the side effects associated with prolonged PPI use in patients with GERD. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed databases with relevant keywords. Article selection was carried out carefully based on inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the quality and relevance of the data. Additionally, a bibliometric analysis was performed to explore research trends related to the long-term use of PPIs. Results: The review found that prolonged PPI use is associated with various adverse effects, including an increased risk of dementia, progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), gastric cancer, bone fractures, Frailty Syndrome, hypomagnesemia, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, myocardial infarction, and esophageal cancer. The bibliometric analysis also indicated a growing trend of research focusing on the safety and complications of long-term PPI use. Conclusion: Long-term PPI therapy carries significant risks. Therefore, regular monitoring and appropriate discontinuation strategies are essential when using PPIs over extended periods to minimize potential harm.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia faces a triple burden of nutritional problems, including stunting, wasting, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies such as anemia. Malnutrition occurs when individuals do not receive adequate intake of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals, which can lead to stunting. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between family income and maternal education level with the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the working area of Purwodadi Community Health Center 1. Method: This observational study with a cross-sectional design involved 116 respondents. Data on family income and maternal education were collected through questionnaires and interviews, while toddler nutritional status was assessed through anthropometric measurements. Results: The majority of respondents had sufficient family income (54.3%), and most mothers had higher education levels (49.1%). Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between family income and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.495). However, there was a significant relationship between maternal education level and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Family income is not significantly associated with stunting incidence in toddlers, but maternal education level plays an important role in reducing stunting risk.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension cases in Indonesia are on the rise annually. Identifying risk factors is crucial for prevention. Risk factors include non-modifiable elements and modifiable ones. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is widely used to understand patient adherence to antihypertensive treatment adherence. Objective: This study aimed to pinpoint key patient adherence to antihypertensive treatment in RW 11, Bangetayu Kulon Village, Semarang. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design. Independent variables included perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action, while the dependent variable was adherence to antihypertensive medication. The sample comprised 33 hypertensive patients selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved a validated questionnaire administered via interviews. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27, with chi-square for bivariate analyses, and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: Bivariate analysis indicated that perceived susceptibility, benefits, severity, and self-efficacy significantly correlated with treatment adherence. Multivariate analysis revealed that perceived severity and self-efficacy were the strongest predictors of adherence, with self-efficacy being the most dominant factor (PR 33.67, 95% CI 2.937–385.989, p = 0.005). Conclusion: The Health Belief Model effectively predicts medication adherence among hypertensive patients. Interventions aimed at improving self-efficacy and emphasizing perceived severity of hypertension could enhance patient adherence to treatment.
