Abstract

The expansion and transformation of Mpox (MPX) disease alongside HIV and genital skin diseases has led to an increase in global morbidity and mortality in a relatively brief period. These diseases have a similar transmission pathway through sexual intercourse (mainly MSM/men-sex with males). This review aims to provide a concise, evidence-based overview of MPX, HIV, and genital skin disease coinfections, and to identify epidemiological threats and challenges. Our investigations revealed that from January 2022 to July 2023, there was a significant increase in the number of MPX cases, which reached a total of 88,600, resulting in 152 deaths across 113 countries. There have been case reports of triple-burden disease in six different areas of the world, with at least 52% of reported cases occurring in men who have had sexual activity with other men, 84.1% of whom do not use condoms and do not take pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). In addition, the highest number of deaths due to co-infection with MPX, HIV infection, and genital skin diseases occurred in vulnerable groups (LGBTQIA2S+), especially in men who had sex with men, up to 90.9%, and experienced an increase in the frequency of triple burden diseases to 104.9%. From an epidemiological standpoint, this condition generates several threats and challenges, including an increasing burden of infectious diseases, an increase in immunocompromised populations, an increase in overlapping risk factors, diagnostic difficulties, an increase in interactions and comorbidities, and relatively complex treatment challenges. To suppress these outbreaks and pandemics, comprehensive control and prevention should be proposed collaboratively, including collaboration with the education sector to conduct better research and investigation using one health in complex settings. Epidemiological modeling can be used in the future to accelerate the control of these diseases.

Abstract

 Joint dysfunction and increased pressure on the spinal discs can also occur, leading to disc degeneration or herniation and further stressing the lower back. The study aimed to investigate the impact of health education on footwear practices in reducing low back pain among patients in Rivers State, Nigeria. Low back pain is a common issue that affects many individuals and can be influenced by various factors, including footwear choices. The study included a sample of 50 participants from the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) consisting of 45 individuals with nonspecific low back pain and 5 patients diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Participants were selected using stratified and non-proportional sampling techniques from a population of 170 individuals at UPTH. The Health Education Impact on Footwear Practices and Low Back Pain Questionnaire (HEIFPLBPQ) was used as the main instrument. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the collected data. The findings indicated that the health education intervention programme had a significant impact on both footwear practices and the reduction of low back pain among the patients. Participants gained knowledge about important factors such as body mass index, comfort/style, foot morphology, and affordability. Comfort/style was a priority for 40% of the participants, while 90% emphasized affordability in their footwear choices. The health education programme led to improvements in pain experiences, including decreased pain intensity and discomfort, as well as a reduction in pain exacerbation during ambulation. It was concluded that the health education programme resulted in notable improvements in pain experiences, including decreased pain intensity and discomfort, as well as a reduction in pain exacerbation during ambulation. It was recommended that to effectively address the needs of patients with low back pain, healthcare professionals and policymakers should customize health education interventions on footwear practices.

Abstract

Exposure to electromagnetic waves has been reported to have an adverse impact on human brain health. Various claims have revealed the impact of long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves clinically and nonclinically, but there are no comprehensive studies that explain the effects of electromagnetic wave exposure on human brain health.  This study aimed to identify the effects of electromagnetic wave exposure on human brain health. Using a meta-synthesis approach and bibliometric analysis. A total of 271 articles from Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed were screened to obtain 148 terms and analyzed descriptively. The findings from 2004–2024 articles that met the selection criteria resulted in 10 major clusters, 903 networks and 4,020 network strengths. The terms "1800 MHz mobile phone”, "900 MHz”, "acute exposure”, "assessment”, "behavior”, "bioeffect”, "biological effect”, "biological tissue”, "blood brain barrier”, "cell phone radiation”, "cellular phone”, "cellular telephone”, "central nervous system”, "child”, "chronic exposure" and others were most studied. Increased use of electronic devices and wireless technology significantly affects information processing and storage; disrupts synaptic communication and neuronal signaling; causes cognitive decline; disrupts the integrity of the blood‒brain barrier; and causes hypersensitivity through disruption of monoamine neurotransmitter metabolism, decreased dopamine levels, norepinephrine and epinephrine levels, 5-hydroxytryptamine "serotonin", excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters and acetylcholine esterase (AChE). The increased use of electronic devices and wireless technology significantly affects brain performance and health. Thus, it is important to minimize the effects of exposure to electromagnetic waves.

Abstract

UNICEF reports that every year, 2.6 million infants worldwide die within their first month of life. One of the determining factors is exclusive breastfeeding. WHO emphasizes the importance of exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age without additional food and drink. In Indonesia, the coverage of infants receiving exclusive breastfeeding reached 67.74%, but exclusive breastfeeding is only given to one in two infants under 6 months. Lack of exclusive breastfeeding means infants are not getting adequate nutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPEOS (Stimulation of Endorphin, Oxytocin and Suggestive Massage) method in increasing exclusive breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a sample of 30 postpartum mothers who were divided into two groups: (1) experimental group that received SPEOS massage method for 10 minutes, and (2) control group that did not receive the intervention. The dependent variable was breast milk production, while the independent variable was massage using the SPEOS method. Data were collected by measuring breast milk volume (ml) and analyzed using t-test. The results showed that the SPEOS method was effective in increasing exclusive breast milk production (p<0.001). The SPEOS method proved to be an effective way to increase exclusive breast milk production in postpartum mothers. The SPEOS method can increase breast milk production, so it needs to be socialized to postpartum mothers by health workers to increase the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding in infants.

Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by an abrupt decrease in glomerular filtration rate, manifesting as an increase in serum creatinine or oliguria. Nephritic syndrome, a manifestation of glomerulonephritis, presents with hematuria, hypertension, decreased urine output, and edema. This case report discusses an 11-year-old Asian boy who presented with decreased urination, shortness of breath, hypertension, and bilateral leg edema. Urinalysis revealed hematuria, proteinuria, and dysmorphic erythrocytes, while serum creatinine was elevated with a decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The patient had a positive ASTO test, indicating poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis as the underlying cause of nephritic syndrome and AKI. Although most cases of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis in children have a favorable outcome, some cases can develop into a serious, life-threatening condition that requires careful attention. This case highlights the importance of early detection and management of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis to prevent progression to nephritic syndrome and AKI, especially in resource-limited settings. Modest examination modalities can facilitate early detection and faster patient management, particularly in developing countries, to reduce the risk of mortality associated with severe AKI in pediatric patients.
