Abstract

The implementation of smoke-free policies in healthcare facilities represents a critical public health strategy; however, maintaining sustainable compliance remains a challenge globally. While healthcare institutions are expected to exemplify tobacco control measures, the effectiveness of smoke-free policies depends on multiple factors at the institutional and governmental levels. This study aimed to examine the influence of organizational, environmental, and sustainability factors on input indicators for smoke-free area policy implementation in healthcare facilities in Makassar, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational study was conducted across seven healthcare facilities that provide inpatient services. Using random cluster sampling, 232 healthcare workers were selected from a population of 736. Path analysis was employed to evaluate causal relationships between independent variables (organizational, environmental, and sustainability factors) and dependent variables (input indicators, including written policies, monitoring personnel, and promotional media). Data were collected through validated questionnaires and analyzed via structural equation modeling. Path analysis revealed that sustainability factors significantly influenced input indicators, particularly written policies (t statistic = 2.592, p<0.05, β=0.194). Key sustainability components, including funding stability, partnerships, organizational capacity, program evaluation, adaptation, and strategic planning, have demonstrated positive effects on policy implementation. Organizational and environmental factors had no significant impact on the input indicators. Sustainability factors emerged as crucial determinants for the successful implementation of smoke-free policies in healthcare facilities in Makassar city. Future research should investigate the barriers to policy implementation and explore additional input indicators to increase the effectiveness of smoke-free policies.

Abstract

Stunting is a vital health issue in developing Asian countries, where millions of individuals suffer from chronic malnutrition. Stunting not only is caused by chronic malnutrition but is also influenced by inadequate water supply, sanitation problems, and poor hygiene practices in the community. However, research on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and its association with stunting is limited, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to analyze the associations between water, sanitation, and hygiene practices and the occurrence of stunting in Asia. This article is a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 1,002 articles were reviewed, of which 560 were published. Additionally, articles could be selected and dropped because they had no original research. After duplicate articles were removed, 168 articles were removed. The screening and extraction results revealed 14 articles eligible for review. After the article was reviewed and read, only five articles were eligible, and only 5 articles could be reviewed because the article discussed WASH and stunting in developing countries in Asia. Inadequate WASH practices were strongly associated with stunting among children under five years of age. An insufficient water supply and access to safe drinking water contribute to this condition, as inadequate water availability can increase the risk of stunting. Additionally, groundwater unfit for consumption increases the likelihood of undernutrition, including stunting, underweight, and wasting in children. Access to improved drinking water sources is essential for reducing stunting, as households with such access report lower stunting rates. Solutions to address stunting in children under five years of age include enhancing drinking water sources, improving sanitation facilities, and promoting better hygiene practices. Local governments should provide adequate water provision and accessible drinking water.

Abstract

Chandipura viral encephalitis (CHPV) has emerged as a significant public health challenge in South Asia, particularly in pediatric populations, with alarming mortality rates. This review synthesizes the current knowledge about the impact of CHPV on human health and healthcare systems. A comprehensive analysis of the published literature, outbreak reports, and clinical studies was conducted to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies of CHPV. CHPV has a distinct predilection for children under 15 years of age, with case fatality rates ranging from 55–70% in severe pediatric cases. Disease progression is characterized by the rapid onset of symptoms, typically evolving from initial influenza-like manifestations to severe neurological complications within 48 h. The clinical presentations include high-grade fever, altered consciousness, seizures, and various neurological deficits. Diagnostic challenges persist, particularly in resource-limited settings, despite advances in molecular detection methods. Treatment remains primarily supportive, with a focus on managing severe complications and maintaining vital organ function. Socioeconomic impacts are substantial, with catastrophic healthcare costs affecting vulnerable populations and straining healthcare systems in endemic regions. The reemergence of CHPV poses serious challenges to public health systems, particularly in resource-limited settings. Rapid progression of the virus, high mortality rates, and significant socioeconomic burden necessitate enhanced surveillance systems, improved diagnostic capabilities, and strengthened healthcare infrastructure. The priority areas for intervention include developing point-of-care diagnostics, establishing standardized treatment protocols, and implementing sustainable vector control programs.

Abstract

Bartholin gland abscesses represent a significant gynecological condition requiring proper clinical management to prevent complications. These abscesses develop from ductal obstruction or infection of the bartholin glands, manifesting as localized pain, swelling, and erythema. Understanding their clinical presentation and management is crucial for optimal patient care in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, clinical presentation, management strategies, and treatment outcomes of bartholin gland abscesses at Rabia Balkhi Hospital, Afghanistan, in 2022. This retrospective cohort study analyzed the hospital records of women diagnosed with Bartholin's gland abscesses. The study identified 23 cases (n = 23), representing 0.6% of all gynecological admissions. The data collected included demographic information, clinical presentations, treatment approaches, and outcome measures. Among the 4,140 gynecological admissions, 23 cases (0.6%) of Bartholin gland abscesses were identified. The majority of cases (52%) occurred in women aged 25-35 years, with predominant clinical manifestations, including severe localized pain (96%), erythema (96%), and swelling (87%). This study employed three primary treatment modalities: incision and drainage (74%), marsupialization (17%), and drainage tube insertion (9%). Treatment outcomes demonstrated favorable results, with pain resolution achieved in 87% of patients within 48 hours postintervention. The overall recurrence rate was 13%, with no major complications observed during the study period. Bartholin gland abscesses predominantly affect women aged 25-35 years, and incisions and drainage are the most effective treatments. These findings emphasize the importance of early intervention and appropriate treatment selection on the basis of patient characteristics

Abstract

Postanterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rehabilitation poses significant challenges in restoring optimal neuromuscular function and athletic performance.This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a structured plyometric exercise protocol on muscle strength, dynamic balance, and functional outcomes in young athletes who underwent ACL reconstruction. A single-case study of a 16-year-old male soccer athlete who underwent right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction was conducted. The intervention comprised three sessions of progressive plyometric exercises over a seven-day period. Outcomes were assessed via a modified sphygmomanometer test for muscle strength, the Y balance test for dynamic balance, and the Tegner Lysholm knee scoring scale for functional ability. Knee flexor strength improved from 50 to 100 mmHg (100% increase), and extensor strength increased from 110 to 130 mmHg (18.2% increase). The dynamic balance composite score increased from 88% to 108%. The functional performance on the Tegner-Lysholm scale improved from 90 to 95 points, primarily because of reduced pain scores. This case demonstrates that a structured plyometric exercise protocol may effectively improve muscle strength, dynamic balance, and functional performance during late-stage ACL rehabilitation. These findings suggest the potential utility of return-to-sport protocols, although large-scale investigations are warranted.
