Abstract

Landslides not only bring physical damage, but also trigger various health problems, including an increase in cases of atopic dermatitis. The post-landslide environment conditions that are humid, dusty, and limited access to clean water in evacuation centers worsen the skin health of the survivors. Exposure to allergens from soil, mold, and disaster stress further increases the risk of skin inflammation. Purpose: to analyze the relationship between landslide disasters and the increase in atopic dermatitis cases through environmental factors and explore the effect of limited sanitation and allergen exposure on the increase in atopic dermatitis cases after landslide disasters.  Method: this study is a literature review using data from Science Direct, Elsevier, Pubmed, and other databases, analyzing 10 national journals, 20 international journals, and 5 theses. Result: studies show landslides can increase atopic dermatitis cases due to dust, mold, poor sanitation, and stress in evacuation camps. Microbiota changes and immune disruption may worsen symptoms, with microbiota manipulation suggested as therapy. However, impacts vary, especially where emergency sanitation and healthcare are adequate. Conclusion: environmental, sanitation, and microbiota factors influence the severity of atopic dermatitis, especially in landslide-affected areas. Exposure to dust, mold, and limited clean water in evacuation camps can worsen skin conditions, while post-disaster stress weakens the immune system. Health and hygiene education is essential for prevention. However, some studies suggest that the impact of landslides varies depending on the quality of emergency sanitation and healthcare services.

Abstract

In recent years, climate change has led to increased rainfall resulting in flooding, which has a close relationship with a rise in dengue fever (DBD) cases as it creates an ideal environment for the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the main vector of the disease. Dengue fever is one of the major health problems in tropical countries such as Indonesia, which has the highest number of cases in Southeast Asia. The method used in this literature review was to determine the topic, then identify keywords to search for journals in English using databases including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SINTA. This review analyzes the relationship between flooding and the incidence of dengue fever, and discusses epidemiology, risk factors, and prevention, as flooding is a frequent natural disaster in Indonesia. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between flooding and dengue fever, because floods create puddles of water that can serve as breeding grounds for Aedes aegypti. Dengue fever is endemic in more than 100 countries, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Various risk factors can exacerbate its incidence, including environmental, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors. Dengue can be prevented in multiple ways, one of which is implementing the 3M Plus Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) program: draining water reservoirs, closing containers that can hold water, and reusing used goods that have the potential to become mosquito nests. These measures need to be implemented to reduce dengue fever cases.

Abstract

The most prevalent primary tumor of the central nervous system is meningioma, and the incidence increases with age. This tumour can be detected through radiological examination and can be classified based on the results of anatomical pathology examination. A 48-year-old woman presented to the hospital with complaints of left-sided progressive headache since several years ago without any other complaints. Imaging examination showed a lesion in the falx cerebri of the sinistra aspect that suggested atypical meningioma. The woman decided to undergo craniotomy resection surgery and histopathological analysis. Based on the WHO classification, the histopathology results revealed that it was a micro and chordoidal meningioma. The patient had significant improvement in her symptoms postoperatively and the tumour size decreased on follow-up imaging. This case report demonstrates the importance of education about dangerous tumour headaches.

Abstract

The near-complete eradication of polio is one of humanity's greatest achievements, yet surveillance remains critical to detect and interrupt poliovirus transmission. This study aims to analyze polio eradication surveillance programs in 28 priority countries over a five-year period (2018–2023). The primary method of poliovirus detection is acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance, confirmed by stool specimen testing, complemented by environmental surveillance (ES) through systematic sewage sampling to detect circulating polioviruses without relying on paralytic cases. Using a literature review with the PICO method, this study examined AFP quality data across 28 priority countries. The analysis reveals that while significant progress has been made, persistent challenges require urgent attention. Strengthening subnational surveillance is crucial to prevent undetected cases. Countries with low stool adequacy rates must improve sample collection and transportation, particularly in remote and conflict-affected areas. Given its success in early virus detection, environmental surveillance should be further expanded, especially in high-risk regions with weak AFP surveillance. Achieving global polio eradication demands continued investment, robust surveillance systems, and targeted interventions in vulnerable areas.

Abstract

Wildfire smoke is a major environmental health concern due to its harmful components, including fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅), carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds, which can significantly impact human health. Exposure to wildfire smoke is associated with various respiratory disorders, such as asthma exacerbation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory infections. Additionally, wildfire smoke contributes to cardiovascular issues, including increased risks of hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Beyond physical health, prolonged exposure to wildfire smoke can also affect mental health, leading to heightened stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Certain populations, such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly, are particularly vulnerable to these health effects due to their physiological characteristics. This study reviews the health impacts of wildfire smoke, emphasizing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders, and the risks faced by vulnerable groups. Furthermore, this study explores mitigation strategies, including air quality monitoring, public health interventions, and the development of infrastructure to minimize exposure. Understanding the health risks associated with wildfire smoke and implementing effective mitigation measures are crucial steps in reducing its impact on public health.

Abstract

Background: Iron is an essential micronutrient that plays a critical role in brain development through processes such as myelination, neurotransmitter synthesis, energy metabolism, and synaptogenesis. Iron deficiency during the first 1000 days of life can disrupt neural network formation and lead to long-term cognitive impairments that are often irreversible. Objective: This literature review aims to analyze the contribution of iron during the first 1000 days of life to children’s cognitive development and to emphasize the importance of nutritional interventions starting from pregnancy. Methods: This literature review was conducted using primary research articles published in English or Indonesian between 2020 and 2025. Relevant studies were identified through systematic searches in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate, employing the PICO framework and appropriate keywords.Results: Adequate iron status from pregnancy through early childhood is crucial for optimal cognitive development. Sufficient iron supports myelination, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the development of memory, language, and learning abilities. Conversely, iron deficiency during the first 1000 days of life is associated with reduced cognitive function, developmental delays, and an increased risk of long-term neurocognitive disorders.Conclusion: Optimal iron intake during the first 1000 days of life is essential to support maximal brain development, prevent long-term cognitive impairments, and enhance children’s future intellectual potential.

Abstract

Background: Creatine is a vital compound in cellular energy homeostasis, playing a key role in regenerating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in tissues with high energy demands, such as the brain. Due to its importance in cerebral bioenergetics, creatine supplementation has been investigated as a potential cognitive enhancer. This literature review aims to synthesize and evaluate the current evidence on the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive function in the healthy general population. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published between 2015 and 2025. The search strategy utilized the PICO framework (Population: healthy adults; Intervention: oral creatine monohydrate; Comparison: placebo; Outcome: cognitive function) and specific keywords, including "creatine supplement," "cognitive function," and "adult." The review included only full-text, peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted on healthy human populations. Results: The analysis of five selected RCTs revealed that the impact of creatine on cognition is highly context-dependent. In healthy adults under normal conditions, supplementation showed minimal to no significant improvement in major cognitive domains; for instance, working memory tasks showed only borderline improvement (p = 0.064). However, evidence indicates a beneficial effect under conditions of significant metabolic stress. Studies demonstrated that creatine can mitigate cognitive decline associated with sleep deprivation and hypoxia, particularly improving accuracy (p = 0.026), processing speed, and attention. The efficacy appears linked to higher doses or acute loading protocols used in response to these stressors. Conclusion: Creatine supplementation does not appear to be a general cognitive enhancer for healthy individuals in normal states. Its primary benefit seems to be as a neuroprotective agent that supports cognitive function during periods of high cerebral energy demand. Future research should focus on larger, more diverse cohorts, standardized dosing protocols, and the inclusion of neuroimaging measures to correlate biological changes with cognitive outcomes, thereby clarifying the specific conditions under which creatine may be beneficial.
