Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the role of soy biscuits as supplementary food in reducing the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) in health crises. The research explores the nutritional effectiveness of soy biscuits, their acceptability among pregnant women, and their potential as a non-pharmacological intervention in community-based maternal healthcare settings, particularly at TPMB Hj Sitti Hasrah Ibrahim. Research Design and Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, analyzing relevant studies from peer-reviewed journals to assess the impact of protein-based nutritional interventions on HG symptoms. The research synthesizes evidence on dietary strategies, maternal nutrition, and the physiological mechanisms through which soy biscuits alleviate HG symptoms. The review also incorporates empirical data from similar interventions to evaluate their feasibility in low-resource and crisis-affected healthcare settings. Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate that soy biscuits significantly stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce gastric motility disturbances, and improve maternal food tolerance. Compared to high-carbohydrate or high-fat diets, a protein-based nutrition approach is more effective in managing nausea and vomiting in patients with HG. Additionally, soy biscuits are well-tolerated and accepted by pregnant women, making them a practical intervention for managing HG in settings with limited access to pharmacological treatments. Implications: This study offers practical insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and food manufacturers advocating for nutritional interventions in maternal healthcare programs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the risk factors contributing to abnormal vaginal discharge in adolescent girls by integrating biological, hygienic, socio-cultural, economic, and psychological determinants. Unlike previous research on hormonal influences, this study offers a comprehensive perspective on how various factors affect adolescent reproductive health. Research Design and Methodology: This research employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to synthesize findings from scholarly articles published after 2018. Relevant studies were retrieved from Elsevier, Emerald, Wiley, and Springer databases. The analysis focuses on identifying dominant biological, behavioral, and environmental factors contributing to vaginal discharge among adolescent girls, along with potential interventions to mitigate health risks. Findings and Discussion: The results indicate that hormonal fluctuations during puberty influence vaginal microbiota and secretion levels, while poor hygiene practices, lack of reproductive health education, and socio-economic constraints exacerbate infection risks. Cultural stigmas surrounding menstruation and vaginal health further hinder adolescents from seeking timely medical attention. Additionally, stress and mental health issues contribute to hormonal imbalances, increasing susceptibility to abnormal discharge. These findings emphasize the interconnectedness of physiological, behavioral, and environmental factors in adolescent reproductive health. Implications: This study highlights the importance of comprehensive school reproductive health education, enhanced access to sanitary products, and reduced social stigmas through targeted public health campaigns. Policymakers should prioritize the affordability of sanitary products and ensure access to proper sanitation facilities, particularly in low-income communities. Future research should explore empirical approaches, including qualitative interviews and regional case studies, to further assess the lived experiences of adolescent girls in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact of obesity, genetic predisposition, and comorbidities on pregnancy-related hypertension. Given the rising prevalence of maternal obesity and associated metabolic disorders, understanding how these factors contribute to hypertensive complications during pregnancy is crucial for developing effective prevention and management strategies. The study also examines the role of genetic susceptibility and pre-existing medical conditions in exacerbating hypertensive risks, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach in maternal healthcare. Research Design and Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) to synthesize findings from existing research on the relationship between obesity, genetic factors, and comorbidities in relation to pregnancy-related hypertension. Relevant peer-reviewed articles from Elsevier, Emerald, Wiley, and Springer published after 2018 were analyzed to identify key trends, mechanisms, and clinical implications. The review integrates evidence from obstetrics, endocrinology, genetics, and public health to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Findings and Discussion: The study reveals that obesity significantly contributes to hypertensive disorders in pregnancy through mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and RAAS activation. Genetic predisposition, particularly polymorphisms in RAAS-related genes (AGT, ACE, AGTR1) and endothelial function genes (eNOS, VEGF), is strongly associated with an increased risk of hypertension. Additionally, pre-existing conditions such as diabetes mellitus, chronic hypertension, kidney disease, and autoimmune disorders further aggravate hypertensive complications. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of early screening programs, personalized treatment approaches, and interdisciplinary prenatal care. Healthcare policymakers should develop standardized guidelines for managing hypertensive pregnancies complicated by obesity and comorbidities. The study highlights the importance of lifestyle interventions, genetic screening, and pharmacological advancements in reducing pregnancy-related hypertension risks and improving maternal-fetal health outcomes.
