Background: Abdominal wall endometriosis is an uncommon extrapelvic form of endometriosis, most often developing at a previous gynecologic surgical scar. Patients typically report cyclical pain with or without a palpable mass, and diagnosis is frequently delayed because the presentation can mimic hernia, granuloma, lipoma, or desmoid tumor. Purpose: To describe the clinical presentation, imaging findings, perioperative optimization, surgical management, and histopathological confirmation of abdominal wall endometriosis coexisting with adenomyosis in a patient with significant medical comorbidities. Method: A case report was performed in a 45-year-old multiparous woman with a five-year history of progressive lower abdominal pain that worsened during menstruation and localized to a prior surgical scar. Pelvic ultrasonography identified adenomyosis and a 6.9 × 3.9 cm hypoechoic lesion in the anterior abdominal wall, raising suspicion of subcutaneous endometriosis. Results: Surgical exploration showed a lesion extending through the subcutaneous tissue and fascia, with focal involvement of the rectus muscle. Complete excision was achieved after preoperative optimization, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological examination of two specimens (9 × 6 × 4 cm and 5 × 2 × 1 cm) demonstrated fibrocollagenous tissue, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle infiltrated by endometrial glands, confirming abdominal wall endometriosis. Conclusion: Abdominal wall endometriosis should be considered in women presenting with cyclical pain at a surgical scar. Imaging supports assessment of lesion extent and surgical planning, while histopathology remains essential to confirm the diagnosis and to exclude rare malignant transformation.

Background: The integration of palliative care into comprehensive cancer management has been shown to confer benefits, yet its influence on patient quality of life remains inconsistently reported across studies. Purpose: To assess the impact of incorporating palliative care components into cancer treatment on patient‑reported quality of life outcomes. Method: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest Health and Medicine using keywords related to palliative care, comprehensive cancer treatment, and quality of life. Studies were eligible if they compared patients receiving integrated palliative and oncological care with those receiving standard oncological care with minimal or no palliative involvement. Data extraction and risk of bias assessments were undertaken using standardized protocols. Results: Integration of palliative care was associated with improvements in patient‑reported quality of life, particularly in domains such as pain control, psychosocial well‑being, and communication. Multidisciplinary coordination yielded significant benefits in reducing symptom burden and enhancing emotional support. Conclusion: Incorporating palliative care into cancer treatment enhances patient quality of life. Future investigations should prioritize the development and standardization of intervention protocols to maximize clinical outcomes.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels caused by insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase, especially in rural areas due to low public awareness and limited access to non-communicable disease control. Method: To case-control design involving patients undergoing outpatient treatment at the Indralaya Community Health Center. The study sample consisted of 143 cases and 143 controls. Sampling in the control group was performed using a “non-matching” technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and medical record analysis. Results: Data analysis used the Chi Square test with a 95% confidence level. Of the 143 respondents, 143 were found to have diabetes mellitus. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between gender, income, family history of DM, diet, physical activity, and blood pressure on the incidence of type 2 DM in the Indralaya Community Health Center area after controlling for the IMT variable. Meanwhile, age, occupation, education, and smoking were confounding variables and did not have a significant relationship with the incidence of type 2 DM. The dominant variables associated with the incidence of type 2 DM were income and family history of DM. Conclusion: Income and family history of DM are the most dominant determinants causing type 2 DM in rural areas. Gender, diet, physical activity, and blood pressure are also associated with the incidence of type 2 DM in the Indralaya Community Health Center area after controlling for the BMI variable. The dissemination of information and education is very important for health workers to provide to high-risk communities in order to prevent this disease.

Background: Hypertension is a major public health problem among older adults and a leading contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) has been recognized as a key preventive strategy for reducing lifestyle-related risk factors associated with hypertension, including unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and poor health monitoring. Purpose: To determine the relationship between clean and healthy living behavior and the incidence of hypertension among elderly individuals at Maccini Sawah Health Center and Tamangapa Health Center. Method: A quantitative analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The study involved 98 elderly respondents recruited from Maccini Sawah Health Center (n=50) and Tamangapa Health Center (n=48). Clean and healthy living behavior status was assessed using a validated 12-item questionnaire, while hypertension was identified through medical records and direct blood pressure measurements. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The majority of respondents in both locations showed low levels of clean and healthy living behavior (63.3% overall). The prevalence of hypertension was 62.00% at the Maccini Sawah Community Health Center and 64.58% at the Tamangapa Community Health Center. Bivariate analysis showed that elderly individuals with low levels of clean and healthy living behavior had a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (85.48%) compared to those with moderate (11.29%) and high (3.23%) levels. Statistical analysis revealed a highly significant association between clean and healthy living behavior and the incidence of hypertension (p=0.000). Conclusion: Clean and healthy living behaviors (Health-Based Drug Consumption Guidelines) are significantly associated with the incidence of hypertension among the elderly in Makassar City. Low adherence to clean and healthy living behaviors is a major risk factor, while moderate to high adherence is correlated with a lower prevalence of hypertension. Strengthening health promotion programs focused on clean and healthy living behaviors in primary healthcare settings is crucial to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease and improve health outcomes for the elderly.

Background: Basic Life Support (BLS) training among laypersons plays a crucial role in improving survival rates following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by bystanders can significantly increase the likelihood of survival. However, conventional face-to-face training is often limited by accessibility, time constraints, and resource availability. The rapid development of digital technology offers alternative approaches to delivering BLS education that may overcome these barriers. Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of digital media in BLS training among laypersons, particularly in improving knowledge and practical skills related to CPR. Method: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed in Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, CINAHL, Crossref, and Google Scholar for studies published between January 2020 and December 2025. Eligible studies evaluated digital media–based BLS training for laypersons and reported outcomes related to knowledge or skill performance. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. This review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251249898). Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings consistently indicated that digital media, particularly virtual reality and video-based learning, were effective in enhancing participants’ knowledge and practical BLS skills. Several studies also reported improved engagement and accessibility compared to conventional training methods. Nevertheless, variations in instructional design, content quality, and evaluation methods influenced the overall effectiveness of the interventions. Conclusion: Digital media represents a promising approach to BLS training among laypersons. When appropriately designed, digital interventions can enhance learning outcomes, increase accessibility, and support independent practice. Future research should explore long-term skill retention and standardized outcome measures to strengthen the evidence base.
