Abstract

Eid-ul-Fitr is an auspicious festival that is expected to celebrate by millions of Muslims across the world including Pakistan by the end of April. The Delta variant of COVID-19 is way more harmful than any other variants. The spread of virus still remains very high in large festival gatherings like Eid ul Fitr instead of strictly following SOPs. The mass migration of people across the country during festival is of main concern that leads to increase spread of virus. It is imperative that government officials along with community leaders, religious scholars and health authorities should take part in mitigating risks of virus transmission with serious measures. As general public is not much aware of the COVID-19 complications, it becomes significant to educate illiterate people through various approaches like to give them awareness about virus, its symptoms, preventive measures and significance of vaccination. Communication in their local language that is easily comprehendible and in persuasive way greatly impacts the public and empowers them to adapt healthy behavior that helps to mitigate the risk of virus transmission.

Abstract

Background: In Bangladesh, the harsh reality of child labor persists, with over 8 million children engaged in such work. This not only deprives them of their childhood but also has severe implications for their mental and physical health. This study seeks to investigate the daily food intake and nutritional status of child laborers in Rangpur City, shedding light on the broader health impacts of child labor in this region. Methods: The study employed a structured questionnaire and anthropometric measurements to assess the socioeconomic status and dietary habits of participants. Pretesting ensured questionnaire accuracy, while daily and weekly recall methods captured comprehensive food consumption data. Socioeconomic inquiries included income, education, employment, and family details, providing a holistic understanding of participants' circumstances. Results: The survey highlights that most working children are aged 12-14, predominantly employed in mechanics and sales, working long hours under precarious conditions for low wages, primarily to support their families. Despite some attending primary school and receiving employer-provided meals and medical aid, these children struggle with inadequate education and nutrition, and a high incidence of workplace accidents. Conclusion: Child laborers have often poorer nutritional status than the average person. They are not provided with a proper diet. Consequently, they are dealing with various health problems.

Abstract

Background: Menopause signifies the end of menstruation and ovarian follicle activity in women. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea without other causes. Typically occurring between 40 and 50 years, menopause often induces anxiety, especially among women with limited knowledge. To address this, the government promotes health counseling to improve women's understanding and management of menopause. Methods: This study utilized a pre-experimental design involving 63 respondents fromGebyog Village, Magetan, Indonesia, selected by simple random sampling. The study examined two variables: the independent variable (counseling) and the dependent variable (anxiety level). Data was collected using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS) questionnaire, administered both before and after counseling sessions. Descriptive analysis was conducted using frequency distribution, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for inferential analysis. Results: The counseling intervention led to a significant reduction in anxiety levels among the participants. The Mann-Whitney U test results indicated a P value of 0.000, demonstrating a statistically significant effect of counseling on reducing anxiety levels (P = 0.000 < α = 0.05). Conclusion: Counseling effectively reduces anxiety in women facing menopause. It is recommended that health workers enhance their efforts in providing menopause-related counseling, particularly through village health posts like posbindu and poslansia, to support women during this transition.

Abstract

Background: Foods had a distinctive medicinal role as a remedy for illness for many centuries. The threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in all over the world is growing extremely due to the reason that any use of antimicrobials, however appropriate and justified, results in accumulation of resistance. Thus, researchers all over the world are toiling hard to introduce foods that possess therapeutic effects as medicine. Citrus fruits were the first foods to provide a true cure of any illness. The present study was undertaken to develop a value- added product that was hypothesized to bestow numerous dietary properties, to meet the ever growing demands of the consumers. Methods: A strategy was developed to formulate good quality jelly from Orange & Swertia chirata. To develop the jelly different proportions of orange juice & S. chirata namely T1 (95:05), T2 (90:10), T3 (85:15) was formulated and T0 was utilized as control (100% orange jelly). In addition to microbial analysis, phytochemical analysis, physicochemical properties, and sensory evaluation were conducted. Results: The physico-chemical properties of the formulated jellies were in alignment with previous studies. The results of the microbiological analysis were excellent. As, there were no detectable levels of E. coli and Salmonella in the formulation for a period of up to 2 months. The sample T3 exhibited maximum level of total phenolic content (168.3 mg GAE/gm), total flavonoid content (49.1 mg QE/gm) and antioxidant activity (135.63 mg/100gm). Therefore, the bioactive compounds had a high precedence on the sample T3 than the control one. Conclusion: After evaluating all the factors, it can be concluded that creating a value-added product will make it easier to market a product that not only attracts consumers but also possesses concealed medicinal properties.

Abstract

The re-emergence of Mpox (formerly monkeypox) has prompted global concern, including in South Asia where cases have surfaced in Pakistan and India. Mpox is a zoonotic virus, primarily spread through direct contact and respiratory droplets, with the 2022 outbreak notably linked to sexual transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM). In August 2024, the World Health Organization declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), urging heightened vigilance. This commentary emphasizes the importance of strengthening disease surveillance at ports of entry, raising public awareness, and targeting high-risk groups, including MSM and HIV-positive individuals. South Asia must also balance its Mpox response with other healthcare priorities. Regional collaboration through SAARC and leveraging local pharmaceutical capacities can enhance preparedness, minimizing the outbreak's impact.

Abstract

Background: Malaria eradication by 2030 is the UN's third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). However, malaria still poses a severe threat to public health, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, which includes The Gambia. The present study explores the factors that impact malaria transmission among artisanal small-scale miners (ASSM) in three districts in the West Coast Region of The Gambia: Kombo East, Kombo Central, and Kombo South. Methods: The researchers carried out a cross-sectional study using one hundred participants from the study area. Using a logistic regression model, the researchers looked at risk variables linked to malaria incidence in the Kombos. Results: Age (Adjusted Prevalence Ratio (APR) = 7.989 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI 1.724–37.002) and the existence of mosquito breeding places (APR = 7.685 with 95% Confidence Interval (CI 1.502–39.309) were shown to be risk variables for malaria in the multivariable analysis. On the other hand, protective factors included higher education level (APR = 0.104 with 95% CI 0.027-0.403), using insect repellents (APR = 0.138 with 95% CI 0.035-0.549), and the state of inside home walls (APR = 0.145 with 95% CI 0.0414-0.511). Conclusions: According to this study's findings, the Gambia's malaria risk variables include age and the presence of mosquito breeding grounds. In addition, having greater knowledge, using insect repellents, and having well-maintained interior walls are all protective factors against malaria. In order to eradicate malaria in Gambia's mining regions, it is strongly advised to decrease risk factors and increase prevention measures through effective communication, information, and education.

Abstract

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a condition of thyroid hormone deficiency that occurs at birth. The TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test is crucial for diagnosing hypothyroidism. CH is known to cause prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between TSH and indirect bilirubin levels in neonates suspected of having jaundice. Methods: This is a non-experimental, retrospective study conducted at Lombok Dua Dua Lontar Mother and Child Hospital in Surabaya. The study involved data collection on neonates aged 2–7 days suspected of jaundice, whose TSH and indirect bilirubin levels were measured between November 2022 to April 2024. Results: Among 100 neonates, 62% were aged 2-4 days, while 38% were aged 5-7 days. The majority were male (56%), with female comprising 44%. Of the 100 neonates, only 1 (1%) had borderline TSH levels, while 99% had normal TSH levels. Hyperbilirubinemia was observed in 94% of the neonates, while 6% had normal indirect bilirubin levels. Statistical analysis using the Spearman correlation showed no significant link between TSH and indirect bilirubin levels (p = 0.802). Conclusions: While this study did not find a clear connection between TSH and indirect bilirubin levels in neonates suspected of having jaundice, one case of borderline TSH was identified. This neonate required referral to pediatric endocrinology, as untreated congenital hypothyroidism can lead to mental retardation. Despite limited research linking TSH and bilirubin levels in jaundiced neonates, routine screening for congenital hypothyroidism using TSH testing should be reconsidered. Future studies could benefit from focusing on specific causes of neonatal jaundice to help narrow down research questions in this area.
