<![CDATA[Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease caused by a virus spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that have been infected with the dengue virus. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) continues to be a health concern in Riau Islands Province, especially in Batam City. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between container condition and Eradication of Mosquito Den behavior (PSN) with the presence of larvae. A significant association was found between container type, water pH, container water temperature, and the existence of larvae in Tembesi Lama (p value <0.05). Location and container closing conditions variables were not statistically associated with the presence of larvae (p value >0.05). The study discovered that non-disposable containers within the house had the greatest number of Aedes sp. mosquito larvae. Additionally, mosquito larvae were identified in containers without a lid, with a water pH greater than 7.8, and a temperature between 27-30ËšC. When measuring PSN behavior, the majority of respondents in Tembesi Lama RT.01-02 RW. 02 had engaged in various PSN activities at their residences.

The smoke produced from burning satai contains carbon monoxide, making satai sellers a profession that is very at risk of subjective respiratory complaints. A preliminary survey found that 6 out of 10 satai sellers in Duri City experienced subjective respiratory complaints due to smoke from burning satai. The purpose of this study was to analyze the exposure to carbon monoxide concentrations with subjective respiratory problems among satai sellers. This research uses a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was utilized using a research sample of 40 respondents. The study found that the variables associated with subjective respiratory complaints were carbon monoxide concentration (p=0.010) and work period (p= 0.023). The unrelated variables are body mass index (p= 0.412), length of exposure (p= 0.182), and smoking behavior (p= 0.608). The recommendation offered to satai vendors is to get used to using Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), take out lung health checks, implement shifting tasks, eat lots of drinking water, and pay attention to working hours and the distance between the seller and the satai burning location.]]>

<![CDATA[Globally, pneumonia is the fourth leading cause of death in the world and the deadliest infectious disease. The 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GDB) study stated that lower respiratory tract infections were responsible for more than 2.49 million deaths with the highest mortality rate in patients over 70 years of age at 1.23 million and 672,000 deaths in patients less than 5 years old. With an increase in cases and high mortality rates in pneumonia, it is necessary to analyze the survival of pneumonia patients by conducting a survival analysis. The design of this study was a retrospective cohort study that observed pneumonia patients who had been hospitalized by looking for factors associated with pneumonia mortality. The population in this study was 1,371 with a sample size of 363 patients. The results of the research factor of vitamin C p-value (0.173) > (0.05) there is no relationship of vitamin C. The factor of ventilator p-value (0.001) < (0.05), there is a relationship between ventilator and pneumonia survival with HR = 1451.802. The factor of decreased consciousness p-value (<0.0001) < (0.05) there is a relationship between decreased consciousness and pneumonia survival with HR = 3.923. The severity factor p-value (0.011) < α (0.05), there is an association of severity with the survival of pneumonia with HR = 3739.9. The author suggests that medical personnel prioritize patients using ventilators and their severity to prevent death and provide optimal care on day 12 because it has a high failure rate. Keywords: Survival. Pneumonia, Cox regression]]>
