<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the relationship between the knowledge level of midwives and the implementation of early stunting detection through Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening (CHS) in infants at RS DKT Kota Kediri. Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia due to its long-term impact on physical growth, cognitive development, and susceptibility to chronic diseases. Congenital hypothyroidism is a preventable risk factor for stunting when detected and managed early; however, the coverage and consistency of CHS implementation in healthcare facilities are still limited and highly dependent on healthcare workers’ competence. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The respondents consisted of 26 midwives working in inpatient wards and polyclinics at RS DKT Kota Kediri, selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess midwives’ knowledge regarding CHS and an observation checklist to evaluate the implementation of CHS based on established Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test to examine the relationship between knowledge level and CHS implementation. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge regarding congenital hypothyroidism screening, and most midwives implemented CHS in accordance with SOP. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between the knowledge level of midwives and the proper implementation of CHS (p < 0.05), indicating that higher knowledge levels were associated with better compliance with screening procedures. This study highlights the critical role of midwives’ knowledge in ensuring the effective implementation of congenital hypothyroidism screening as an early detection strategy for stunting risk. Strengthening continuous education, targeted training programs, and institutional support for CHS implementation are essential to improve screening coverage and contribute to comprehensive stunting prevention efforts in hospital settings]]>

<![CDATA[Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains a progressive neurodegenerative disorder without established disease-modifying therapy. Recent evidence links insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation to PD pathogenesis, suggesting that metabolic modulation may provide neuroprotective benefits. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), initially developed for diabetes, have emerged as potential agents that may slow neuronal loss and improve motor function through pleiotropic neuroprotective mechanisms. This systematic review aimed to synthesize clinical and observational evidence on the efficacy and safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists in Parkinson’s disease, focusing on motor progression, non-motor outcomes, and mechanistic implications. A comprehensive search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect was conducted up to October 2025 using the keywords Parkinson AND (exenatide OR liraglutide OR lixisenatide OR semaglutide OR GLP-1 receptor agonist) combined with (randomized OR trial OR cohort). Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials and cohort analyses involving adult PD patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists compared to placebo or standard therapy. Data were narratively synthesized due to inter-study heterogeneity. GLP-1 receptor agonists were well tolerated, with gastrointestinal discomfort and mild weight loss as the most frequent adverse events. Six studies met inclusion criteria: five randomized controlled trials and one large multi center cohort. Early-phase exenatide trials reported sustained motor improvements lasting up to twelve months after treatment cessation, while the Lixisenatide phase 2 trial showed significant slowing of motor decline. Conversely, the phase 3 Exenatide-PD3 trial showed no significant difference from placebo. Observational data involving over five million patients indicated reduced neurodegenerative risk, particularly among semaglutide users. GLP-1 receptor activation appears to exert neuroprotective effects through multiple mechanisms, including mitochondrial restoration, suppression of neuroinflammation, and improvement of neuronal insulin signaling. Differences in CNS penetration, receptor affinity, and treatment duration likely account for the variability in clinical outcomes. While results remain heterogeneous, the biological plausibility and reproducible direction of benefit across independent studies underscore the potential of metabolic intervention as a viable disease-modifying strategy in PD. Safety profile and consistent mechanistic rationale position this drug class as a leading candidate for future disease-modifying therapy in neurodegeneration. GLP-1 receptor agonists demonstrate emerging promise as neuroprotective agents capable of slowing Parkinson’s disease progression. Although definitive evidence of disease modification awaits further confirmation from large multi center phase 3 trials.]]>

<![CDATA[Solid waste management at the village scale faces persistent challenges related to limited availability of operational spatial data and uneven service coverage across residential areas. This study integrates WhatsApp-only citizen reporting with Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis to identify clusters of solid waste complaints and to establish service intervention priorities in Kalijaga Village, Aikmel District. The spatial analysis comprises kernel density estimation, buffer analysis, and network distance analysis, while acceptance of the reporting channel is examined using an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) incorporating information quality. The results indicate the formation of complaint density clusters along primary road corridors, at the interface between residential areas and vacant land, and in proximity to drainage networks. Multi-criteria integration produces priority zones P1–P5 and a Top-10 list of priority locations that can be directly adopted as a basis for task assignment and optimization of waste collection points. From the system acceptance perspective, perceived usefulness and information quality exert a significant influence on behavioral intention to use, whereas perceived ease of use affects behavioral intention indirectly through enhanced perceived usefulness. These findings demonstrate that a WhatsApp-only approach supported by GIS analysis can serve as a low-cost, operational solution for strengthening village-level solid waste governance.]]>

<![CDATA[Psychogenic spasmodic dysphonia and psychogenic dysphagia are functional disorders of voice and swallowing in which symptoms are disproportionate to structural findings and closely linked to psychological conflict or trauma. A 35-year-old woman presented with sudden inability to swallow solids, liquids, and saliva, accompanied by severe dysphonia, neck pain, dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting, three days after fever and sore throat. She denied trauma despite mild neck erythema and was treated for suspected epiglottitis with steroids and antibiotics; a nasogastric tube passed easily, arguing against obstruction. After three days, flexible fiber-optic endoscopy showed no inflammation or masses in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, or oropharynx, while laryngoscopy demonstrated bilateral spasmodic vocal fold movements with incomplete glottic closure and no aspiration. In light of the discrepancy between severe symptoms and normal findings, repeated, supportive interviewing led to disclosure of intimate partner violence involving strangulation, lifting by the neck, and impact against a wall. Antibiotics were stopped, steroids tapered, and psychiatry initiated anxiolytics and counseling, with marked improvement of swallowing and voice within one day and safe discharge. This case underscores the need to consider psychogenic etiologies and domestic violence in acute dysphagia and dysphonia with normal structural evaluation and highlights the importance of trauma-informed, iterative history-taking and multidisciplinary care.]]>
