Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease that remains the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases globally. A major challenge in eliminating TB, despite it being preventable and curable, is the low adherence to treatment. This literature review aims to provide insights into the potential of ingestible sensors combined with family involvement interventions for medication supervision in TB patients, ensuring that medications are actually swallowed and addressing a key limitation of the previous DOT method. Methods: This study used a literature review method with the keywords "family engagement intervention", "digestible sensor", and "tuberculosis [MeSH]" to search databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, ResearchGate, and NCBI. Inclusion criteria included in vitro and in vivo experimental studies, cohort studies, comparative analysis studies, and reviews published in the last 10 years. Exclusion criteria included incomplete studies, inaccessible papers, and non-English/Indonesian texts. After applying these criteria, 35 journals and 1 book were selected for review and analysis. Findings: Ingestible sensors have shown over 80% effectiveness in monitoring medication adherence by providing real-time data for precise treatment adjustments. When combined with family involvement, these interventions address psychosocial barriers like stigma and lack of support, further improving adherence. This synergy significantly reduces non-compliance, prevents drug resistance, and enhances treatment outcomes for TB patients. Conclusion: Ingestible sensors combined with family involvement offer a more effective approach to TB treatment by ensuring medication is swallowed and providing psychosocial support, reducing risks of transmission, relapse, and drug resistance. However, equitable access and adequate infrastructure, supported by government and societal cooperation, are crucial for the successful implementation of this system globally. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study explores the innovative use of ingestible sensors combined with family involvement to improve TB treatment adherence, offering a novel contribution to TB management.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Disease is rapidly increasing in Indonesia. This disease is defined as either our random blood glucose level >200 mg/dL or fasting blood glucose level >126 mg/dL. Maintaining a controllable blood glucose level (either less than 200 mg/dL for random blood glucose level or less than 126 mg/dL for fasting blood glucose level) in Type II DM patients is obviously playing an important role to avoid any complications such as stroke disease, heart disease and kidney failure. The purpose of this research is to analyze the risk factors contributing to uncontrolled blood glucose in Type II DM patients who come to visit Alak Public Health Centre, city of Kupang. Methods: This research is a quantitative analytic study with cross sectional method, with a total sample of 68 respondents. The statistical analysis carried out by Computer Program is univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Findings: The result of this research shows significant factors contributing to uncontrolled blood glucose level are Body Mass Index (BMI) p value=0.003, patients compliance (p value=0.003), Knowledge of DM (p value=0.011), Regular Physical Activity (p value=0.000), Food Order (p value=0.024), Smoking (p value=0.524) and family support (p value=0.077). The dominant factor which has more significant effect on uncontrolled blood glucose level in Type II DM patients is regular physical activity (p value=0.001). Conclusion: Uncontrolled blood glucose in Type II DM patients is strongly influenced by multiple behavioral and lifestyle factors, with regular physical activity being the most dominant. Strengthening patient education, compliance, and health promotion at the primary care level is essential to improve glycemic control and prevent complications. Novelty/Originality of this article: In order to maintain controlled blood glucose level in Type II DM patients it is suggested that all health workers in public health centre pay more promotive measure to risk factors affecting the bllood glucose in Type II DM patients with effective medias and methods.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the world, including in Indonesia. High blood sugar levels in diabetics can cause various complications, one of which is diabetic retinopathy. The treatment used in diabetic retinopathy does not fully provide the desired therapeutic effect in all patients. Therefore, a study was conducted on the prescription drug approach to optimize diabetic retinopathy therapy. Methods: This narrative review was conducted by searching articles that discuss three main focuses, including (1) why precision medicine (PM) can be implemented in diabetic retinopathy (DR); (2) the application, benefits, and components of PM for DR; and (3) challenges in its implementation in Indonesia. The included articles are articles published in national and international journals between 2014 and 2025. Findings: This study reveals that diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes whose development can be influenced by genetic and environmental factors of the patient. Precision medicine can be applied in determining the best therapy for diabetic retinopathy by analyzing the clinical condition history, molecular and biochemical biomarkers of patients using artificial intelligence or machine learning. Conclusion: optimization of diabetic retinopathy therapy can be done with a precision medicine approach by analyzing genetic factors and patient environmental factors. However, there are still some challenges in its application in Indonesia including health service disparities, regulatory issues, technology, costs, and human resources. To develop precision medicine in Indonesia, Indonesia should develop equitable distribution in health services, conduct policy and research more on DM and PM, and collaborate with other countries. This narrative review has several limitations: literature search was limited to 3 database sources, we did not assess the quality of the articles, and implementation steps and solutions for PM implementation in Indonesia are only discussed in general, not specifically for DR. Future research can be carried out by discussing in more depth the specific steps of PM implementation for DR. Novelty/Originality of this article: Although personalized medicine has been in the spotlight in the global. Novelty/Originality of this article: Although personalized medicine has been in the spotlight in the global medical world, its specific application in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy in a country with limited resources and diverse demographics such as Indonesia is still not widely explored. The originality lies in adapting precision medicine as a high-tech solution for diabetic retinopathy, which is one of the public health challenges.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a disease transmitted through water and is a major problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. This study aims to determine the relationship between host behavior and environmental sanitation with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in the working area of the Makrayu Health Center, Palembang City. Methods: This quantitative research uses a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 68 toddlers. Data analysis was performed univariately, bivariate using chi-square and multivariate multiple logistic regression prediction models. Findings: Based on data from the Makrayu Community Health Center, Palembang City, 2022, the prevalence of diarrhea in toddlers is 28.9%. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that the most significant variable on the incidence of diarrhea in children under five was the habit of washing hands (p-value 0.012) after controlling for the variables of processing, provision, and serving of food, quality of latrines, and waste disposal facilities. Host behavior and poor environmental sanitation can cause rapid transmission of diarrhea. Therefore, people are advised to pay attention to small things with big meanings by always practicing a clean and healthy life to avoid germs that cause disease. Conclusion: The analysis results show a relationship between the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers and food processing, provision and serving, hand washing habits, and garbage disposal facilities. In contrast, the source of clean water, latrines' quality, and garbage disposal have no significant relationship with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in the work area. Makrayu Health Center Palembang City. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely identifies handwashing behavior as the most influential factor in toddler diarrhea incidence after controlling for key environmental sanitation variables.
