Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women remains a health concern in Sungai Penuh City, with 47 cases reported in 2024, contributing to a higher risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and pregnancy complications. Red dragon fruit contains iron, vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants that play a role in hemoglobin synthesis. This study aimed to determine the effect of red dragon fruit pudding on hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia at PMB Bd. Rika, S.Keb Sungai Penuh City in 2025. This research used a pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 30 pregnant women with anemia were selected using total sampling. The study was conducted in November 2025. The intervention consisted of administering 250 grams per day of red dragon fruit pudding for 20 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after intervention using a digital Hb test device and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in the mean hemoglobin level from 10.49 g/dL before intervention to 11.7 g/dL after intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of red dragon fruit pudding on improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. It is concluded that red dragon fruit pudding is effective as a non-pharmacological alternative for anemia management. Further studies are recommended to include a control group and longer follow-up for more comprehensive findings.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries at high risk of disasters due to its geographical and geological conditions. Based on the 2022 Indonesian Disaster Risk Index measurement, West Sumatra Province is included in the high-risk category with a value of 144.39, indicating a high disaster threat, namely earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, landslides, droughts, extreme weather, extreme waves and abrasion, and forest and land fires. The effects of natural disasters can trigger an increase in depressive symptoms during and after pregnancy, which is a serious threat to global public health. WHO data from 2024 show that almost 300 million people need humanitarian assistance, with an increased risk of mental health issues in disaster-affected populations. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socio-demographic status and the potential incidence of perinatal depression post-natural disasters in West Sumatra. This is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach conducted in Agam Regency, Tanah Datar Regency, and Padang City. Data collection was carried out in October-December 2024. The sample comprised 23 pregnant women, selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument used was the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) Questionnaire. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately with the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of this study showed that 52% of pregnant women experienced perinatal depression. The bivariate analysis yielded significant values for the variables: age p = 0.001), education p = 0.001), occupation p = 0.003), parity p = 0.036), family income p = 0.009), and history of miscarriage p = 0.007). It was concluded that all these variables were related to the potential for perinatal depression in pregnant women post-natural disasters in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Socio-demographic factors are very important to pay attention to in pregnant women, in order to reduce the risk of perinatal depression after natural disasters through routine health education programs by health workers.

Abstract

The present systematic review of Ecuadorian academic literature (2015-2025) establishes that lipodystrophy is a nosological entity characterized by high clinical prevalence but low epidemiological visibility, with research predominantly concentrated on the therapeutic sequelae of diabetes mellitus and HIV/AIDS (SLAV). Evidence reveals that the condition's chronic underreporting is perpetuated by the diagnostic differentiation challenge, in which manifestations of lipoaccumulation (lipo-hypertrophy due to insulin or visceral fat due to HAART) are systematically subsumed under the umbrella of obesity in general clinical practice. This confusion hinders the identification of specific etiological factors and minimizes the recognition of the high metabolic and cardiovascular risks associated with these pathological adipose alterations. It is concluded that the imperative is to establish standardized national clinical protocols that mandate rigorous differential diagnosis for obesity, thereby reducing underreporting and ensuring specialized therapeutic intervention in Ecuador.

Abstract

Oral health is a fundamental component of overall human well-being, particularly among school-aged children who are highly vulnerable to dental and oral diseases due to limited knowledge, low awareness, and insufficient motivation to maintain proper oral hygiene. The Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) is a widely used indicator to assess the level of oral cleanliness. One strategy to improve OHI-S status is the use of monitoring tools, such as a monitoring card, which functions as a systematic mechanism to observe and ensure adherence to planned health behaviors. This study aimed to examine the effect of monitoring card utilization on children’s toothbrushing compliance and OHI-S status among students of SDN 10 Panteriek, Lueng Bata District, Banda Aceh. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group approach. The study population consisted of all fourth-grade students (n = 46). The results demonstrated a statistically significant effect of monitoring card utilization on toothbrushing compliance and OHI-S status (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the integration of monitoring tools into oral health education interventions can effectively improve children’s oral hygiene behavior and outcomes. In conclusion, the use of monitoring cards significantly enhances children’s compliance with toothbrushing practices, which in turn leads to improved OHI-S status. It is recommended that students further develop their knowledge, behavior, and awareness regarding oral hygiene, while schools and families should support sustained behavioral change through structured monitoring and guidance. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on school-based oral health promotion by demonstrating the effectiveness of monitoring cards as a simple, low-cost, and practical behavioral intervention to improve toothbrushing adherence and oral hygiene status among children. Furthermore, the findings provide valuable implications for the development of preventive oral health programs and support the integration of structured monitoring strategies involving both schools and families to foster long-term oral health behaviors and reduce the burden of dental and oral diseases in children.

Abstract

Oral health plays a fundamental role in maintaining overall systemic health, as poor oral conditions may contribute to broader health complications. Among the various determinants of children’s oral health, maternal knowledge and behavior represent critical influencing factors, particularly during early childhood when children are highly dependent on parental guidance. Preliminary observations in Meugit Sagoe Village indicated that a substantial proportion of children aged 3–5 years (75%) exhibited poor oral hygiene status, highlighting the urgency of addressing this public health concern. This study aimed to examine the association between maternal behavior and the oral hygiene status of children in Meugit Sagoe Village. An analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The study sample consisted of 40 mother–child pairs selected through purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data collection was conducted using a combination of clinical dental examinations to assess children’s oral hygiene status and structured interviews to evaluate maternal behavior. The instruments utilized included a standardized dental diagnostic set and a validated questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The association between variables was analyzed using the Chi-square test, with a significance level set at α = 0.05. The results demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between maternal behavior and children’s oral hygiene status (p = 0.003). These findings indicate that maternal knowledge and behavior are significantly associated with the oral hygiene condition of children. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence emphasizing the importance of maternal factors in shaping oral health outcomes during early childhood. Specifically, it provides empirical support for the role of maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices as key determinants of oral hygiene status among preschool children. The findings highlight the need for family-centered oral health promotion programs that actively involve mothers as primary caregivers in fostering healthy oral hygiene behaviors. Furthermore, this study offers practical implications for policymakers and healthcare professionals in designing targeted educational and preventive interventions aimed at improving maternal awareness and reducing the burden of oral diseases among young children.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence-driven clinical decision support systems (AI-CDSS) are increasingly used to support diagnosis, risk prediction, medication safety, clinical prioritization, and hospital workflow management. Although AI-CDSS has potential to improve hospital efficiency and patient safety, its real-world value remains uncertain because many studies still emphasize technical performance rather than clinical workflow, governance, and organizational outcomes. This systematic literature review synthesizes recent evidence on the impact of AI-CDSS on hospital management efficiency and patient safety and identifies implementation and governance factors that influence effectiveness in hospital settings. Studies published from 2020 to 2026 were targeted if they examined AI-CDSS in hospital settings using machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, predictive analytics, or intelligent alert systems. Evidence was organized across four domains: AI-CDSS characteristics, hospital efficiency, patient safety, and implementation governance. AI-CDSS supports diagnostic reasoning, clinical risk prediction, medication safety, early warning, adverse-event detection, incident classification, and workflow prioritization. It may improve hospital efficiency through faster prioritization, better resource allocation, and more coordinated workflows. It may also strengthen patient safety by enabling earlier detection of deterioration, medication errors, falls, pressure injuries, and adverse-event patterns. However, benefits remain conditional on data quality, EMR integration, validation, trust, explainability, clinical workflow fit, monitoring, and governance maturity. AI-CDSS should be understood as socio-technical governance infrastructure rather than a standalone algorithm. Hospitals and policymakers should develop structured governance mechanisms covering multidisciplinary oversight, local validation, workflow simulation, user training, post-deployment monitoring, patient-safety reporting, and accreditation-based accountability. This study contributes to the literature by integrating previous AI-CDSS evidence into a hospital-management framework that explains how algorithmic decision support can generate efficiency and patient-safety value only when supported by data readiness, workflow integration, clinician trust, explainability, local validation, continuous monitoring, and accountable governance.
