Abstract

Scabies is a contagious skin disease that continues to pose a public health problem, particularly in developing countries with inadequate environmental conditions and poor hygiene practices. The disease is caused by an infestation of the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis, and its transmission is strongly influenced by behavioral, physical environmental, and socioeconomic factors. This literature review aims to analyze the factors contributing to the incidence of scabies based on empirical evidence from recent studies. The literature search was conducted through several scientific databases using keywords related to scabies, risk factors, personal hygiene, contact history, humidity, and household crowding. The analyzed articles include primary research studies and scientific reviews published within the last 10 to 15 years that met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that poor personal hygiene is the most consistently reported risk factor. Infrequent bathing, irregular changing of clothes, and inadequate cleanliness of bedding significantly increase the likelihood of infection and reinfection. Contact history becomes the most dominant mechanism of transmission, both through direct skin-to-skin contact and through shared personal items. Environmental factors such as overcrowded living conditions and poor ventilation further elevate the risk by increasing the frequency of close contact and creating microclimatic conditions that support myth survival. Low levels of community knowledge about symptoms, transmission, and prevention also contribute to the persistently high incidence of scabies.

Abstract

Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological conditions encountered in clinical practice and continues to show a rising global trend. The wide variation in clinical presentation, along with rapid advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its management approaches. This literature review aims to summarize recent developments in the diagnosis and management of urolithiasis and to compare the effectiveness of various interventional modalities. A narrative literature review was conducted using articles published between 2022 and 2025, identified through PubMed and Google Scholar. Keywords included urolithiasis, diagnosis, management, ESWL, URS, and PCNL. Relevant articles were selected based on topical relevance, publication quality, and availability of clinically meaningful data. Non-contrast CT scan remains the most accurate diagnostic modality for detecting urinary stones, whereas ultrasonography remains valuable in specific populations and resource-limited settings. In terms of treatment, ESWL is effective for small to medium-sized stones with low density, URS demonstrates higher success rates for ureteral stones, and PCNL remains the primary option for large or complex stones. Recurrence prevention through metabolic evaluation, dietary modification, and pharmacologic therapy significantly reduces the risk of stone formation. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for urolithiasis have advanced considerably; However, optimal modality selection must be tailored to individual patient and stone characteristics. Personalized approaches and sustained preventive strategies are essential to improving clinical outcomes and reducing recurrence rates.

Abstract

Inflammation is the body's natural defense mechanism against infection or injury.This study aims to evaluate the phytochemical compounds contained as anti-inflammatory agents in starfruit leaves grown in urban areas. The methods used in the study include laboratory tests to obtain soil characteristics including physical and chemical properties, phytochemical screening tests and GC-MS to obtain accurate data related to the bioactive compounds contained in starfruit leaves. The results showed that starfruit leaves contain alkaloids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, phenolics, and terpenoids, but no tannins were found. This may be due to the clay soil structure where the plant grows which affects the secondary metabolites produced. Furthermore, the GC-MS test obtained thirteen compounds which are anti-inflammatory agents including 2-(p-tolymethyl)-p-xylene; cis-tricyclo [7.5.0.0(2,8)]tetradeca-7,9-diene; (2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraen-1-ol; (2E,7R,11R)-3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol; Dimethyl (3S,4R,5S,6R)-3,6-dimethylcyclohexene-4,5-dicarboxylate; 9,12,15-Octadecatrienol; Palmitic acid; 2-amino-4,4,6,6-tetramethyl-4,6-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]furan-3-carbonitrile; 2(3H)-Phenanthrenone, 4,4a-dihydro-4a-methyl-; 4,8-Dimethyl-3,7-nonadien-2-ol; Benzofuran, 2,3-dihydro-; Acrylic acid; 4-Hydroxy-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one.

Abstract

School-aged children are a vulnerable group for nutritional disorders because they are in a period of rapid growth and development, requiring a balanced intake of nutrients. In Arongan Lambalek Subdistrict, West Aceh Regency, cases of undernutrition are still found among elementary school children, which are suspected to be influenced by irregular eating patterns, large family size, and suboptimal personal hygiene practices. This study aims to examine the relationship between eating patterns, family size, and personal hygiene with the nutritional status of elementary school children in grades 4–6 in Arongan Lambalek Subdistrict. The research employed an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all students in grades 4–6 at SDN Arongan Wolya, MIN 5 Aceh Barat, MIN 12 Aceh Barat, SDN Drien Rampak, SDN Keub, and SDN Teupin Peuraho, with a total sample of 235 students selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) for eating patterns, a family size questionnaire, and a personal hygiene questionnaire, while nutritional status was measured based on weight-for-height (BB/TB). Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed p-values of 0.000 for eating patterns, 0.000 for family size, and 0.004 for personal hygiene. The study concluded that eating patterns, family size, and personal hygiene were significantly associated with the nutritional status of elementary school children. It is recommended that schools and parents increase attention to children's eating habits and personal hygiene through regular nutrition and health education. Future researchers are advised to include additional variables such as nutritional knowledge and socioeconomic status to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the nutritional status of elementary school children.

Abstract

The current study examines the effects of resistance and plyometric training programs on specific coordinative skills and cricket players' performance using an experimental research design. Modern cricket necessitates elevated levels of coordination, agility, power, and sport-specific skills, rendering scientifically structured training interventions imperative for performance improvement. To assess the efficacy of these training modalities, a sample of cricket players was randomly chosen and allocated into two experimental groups resistance training and plyometric training and a control group adhering to a standard training regimen. The training interventions were conducted over eight weeks, maintaining regulated frequency and intensity. Before and after the training period, standardized and reliable tests were used to measure selected coordinative skills like balance, agility, reaction time, and hand-eye coordination, as well as overall playing performance. Descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were two statistical methods used to look at the data that had been collected. The results showed that both experimental groups had much better coordination skills and playing performance than the control group. Additionally, plyometric training exhibited more pronounced effects on agility and explosive coordination, whereas resistance training had a greater impact on strength-related coordination and performance consistency. The study's results show that structured resistance and plyometric training programs can help cricket players improve their coordination and performance on the field. The study concludes that incorporating these training methods into standard cricket conditioning programs can substantially enhance athletic performance and competitive achievement.

Abstract

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with a poor prognosis. Several antifibrotics such as pirfenidone and nintedanib have been shown to slow the decline in lung function but cannot stop the ongoing or existing fibrosis process. Recent evidence suggests that immune dysregulation, including macrophage activation and PD-L1 expression on fibroblasts, plays a key role in the pathogenesis of IPF, thus encouraging the emergence of potential immunomodulation therapies. Methods: This paper attempts to review several English-language literature from 2015–2025 through PubMed, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Articles relevant to immunotherapy, immunomodulators, or immune mechanisms in IPF were included, while non-scientific or non-immune-related publications were ignored. Results: A total of 15 primary publications were identified. Immunotherapy approaches such as PD-L1 inhibition, Treg activation, and IL-4/IL-13 blockade have shown antifibrotic and immunoregulatory effects. New agents such as the TNIK inhibitor (ISM001-055), the peptide LTI-03, and CAR-Treg therapy have shown promising early results in translational models and early-phase clinical trials. Conclusion: Immunotherapy has the potential to be a novel approach to IPF management by targeting the immune microenvironment. Further trials are needed to ensure safety and efficacy for long-term treatment.

Abstract

Coal loading and unloading workers at Meulaboh Seaport are at high risk of accidents and health problems due to dust exposure, heavy workloads, and unsafe working conditions. Although the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) management program has been implemented, its execution remains low. Many workers are not disciplined in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), OSH training is not optimal, and supervision is still weak. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the implementation of OSH management programs among loading and unloading workers at Meulaboh Seaport. The study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design and involved 32 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate techniques. The results showed a significant relationship between work discipline (p = 0.005), training (p = 0.010), supervision (p = 0.022), and OSH evaluation (p = 0.010) with the implementation of the OSH management program. It is recommended that the management of Meulaboh Seaport, as the company’s policy maker, continuously improve the existing OSH management system to ultimately enhance worker performance, which will bring both financial and non-financial benefits to the seaport. For workers, it is advised to prioritize occupational safety and health by complying with the established OSH management system.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in coastal areas where family sanitation and hygiene conditions are inadequate. Padang Seuraheut Village, Johan Pahlawan Subdistrict, West Aceh, is a coastal area predominantly inhabited by fishing families with limited environmental sanitation, restricted access to clean water, and suboptimal hygiene practices. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family hygiene practices and the incidence of stunting among under-five children in the village. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and was conducted from August to December 2025. The study population comprised all children aged 12–59 months totaling 1,442, with a sample of 94 children selected using simple random sampling. Data on family hygiene practices were collected through mothers as respondents using questionnaires and observation checklists. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that all hygiene and sanitation variables were significantly associated with the incidence of stunting (p < 0.05). Poor handwashing practices with soap were strongly associated with stunting (100%), as were inadequate latrine conditions (75.0%), unhygienic food storage and preparation (76.6%), and improper waste and wastewater disposal (73.1%). These findings indicate that family hygiene practices and environmental sanitation play a substantial role in increasing the risk of stunting among under-five children. Improvements in sanitation facilities, family hygiene education, and community-based interventions in coastal areas should be prioritized as strategic measures for stunting prevention.
