Abstract

The process of sexual maturation, or puberty, is marked by the development of secondary sexual characteristics, rapid body growth, and, ultimately, the ability to reproduce. Various congenital and endocrine disorders can interfere with the timing of sexual maturation, causing delayed puberty or precocious puberty. This literature review aimed to describe puberty and its disorders and influencing factors. The age of puberty is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental components. Delayed puberty is a physiological (constitutional) delay in which hormonal levels are normal, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is intact, but maturation occurs slowly. Precocious puberty can be partial, complete, or mixed type and can be further categorized into central (GnRH dependent) and peripheral (GnRH dependent). In conclusion, congenital and endocrine disorders can interfere with the timing of sexual maturation, causing delayed puberty or precocious puberty.

Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease caused by infection with a new coronavirus with the name SARS-CoV-2 and can be transmitted between humans. Transmission of COVID-19 occurs through droplets produced by infected people. Indonesia is a country affected by COVID-19, with cases reaching 2,203,108 cases. The number of cases in Indonesia also includes COVID-19 infections in children. This study aimed to present an overview of the clinical symptoms of pediatric patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This study is a descriptive observational study. A total of 50 research subjects participated in this study. Observations of sociodemographic data and observations of clinical data were carried out in this study. Univariate data analysis was performed to present the distribution of frequencies and percentages of each variable. Results: The majority of clinical symptoms of pediatric COVID-19 patients are fever. Apart from fever symptoms, the majority of clinical symptoms of child COVID-19 patients have symptoms of runny nose, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea. Conclusion: Fever is a clinical symptom of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection in children at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Hirschsprung disease is a congenital malformation resulting from the failure of neural crest cells to migrate into the gastrointestinal tract. The exact cause of this disorder is unknown, but it is suspected that there is an interaction of several factors, including gene mutations and epigenetic mechanisms. This literature review aimed to describe the pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, and treatment of Hirschprung disease. Mild to severe constipation is a common manifestation of Hirschsprung's disease with poor diet, poor weight gain, and progressive abdominal distention. However, diarrhea may be the first sign, as only water can flow around the affected stool. The most serious complication in the neonatal period is Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC), which can occur both preoperatively and postoperatively. Surgery is the definitive treatment in all cases of Hirschsprung's disease, with resection of the aganglionic segment and anastomosis of the bowel proximal to the anus, known as a pull-through procedure. In conclusion, Hirschsprung disease is a congenital aganglionic megacolon or functional obstruction of the large intestine and is caused by multifactorial factors, especially the role of genetic aspects.

Abstract

Introduction: Early initiation of breastfeeding is crucial for infant health and survival. However, breastfeeding initiation rates remain suboptimal in rural Sarawak, Malaysia. This study aimed to assess the influence of cultural beliefs and practices on early breastfeeding initiation rates in these communities. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted in two rural districts of Sarawak. Quantitative data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 385 mothers with infants aged 0-6 months. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 mothers and 10 healthcare providers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and thematic analysis. Results: Early breastfeeding initiation rates were 62.1%. Factors associated with early initiationincluded higher maternal education (OR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.12-4.89), positive attitudes towards breastfeeding (OR=3.18, 95% CI: 1.56-6.47), and support from healthcare providers (OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.38- 5.96). Cultural beliefs and practices, such as colostrum avoidance and delayed breastfeeding due to traditional rituals, were identified as barriers to early initiation. Conclusion: Cultural beliefs and practices significantly influence early breastfeeding initiation rates in rural Sarawak. Interventions to promote early initiation should address these cultural factors and provide targeted support to mothers.

Abstract

Introduction: Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe diarrhea in children under five years old, particularly in low-income settings with inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an integrated WASH intervention program on rotavirus infection rates among children residing in the urban slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Methods: A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted in two informal settlements in Nairobi. Households in theintervention arm received a comprehensive WASH intervention package, including household water treatment, improved sanitation facilities, handwashing promotion, and health education. The control arm received routine health services. Stool samples were collected from children under five at baseline and after 12 months of intervention implementation, and tested for rotavirus using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: A total of 855 children (428 in the intervention arm and 427 in the control arm) were enrolled in the study. At baseline, the prevalence of rotavirus infection was 18.2% in the intervention arm and 19.4% in the control arm.After 12 months, the prevalence significantly decreased to 8.9% in the intervention arm, while remaining relatively stable at 17.1% in the control arm. Multivariable analysis revealed that the WASH intervention was independently associated with a reduced risk of rotavirus infection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.47, 95% CI 0.31-0.72). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that a comprehensive WASH intervention program can significantly reduce rotavirus infection rates among children in urban slums. These findings underscore the importance of integrating WASH interventions into public health strategies for diarrheal disease prevention in resource-limited settings.
