Abstract

General Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a critical public health issue due to its impact on maternal and fetal health worldwide. Specific Background: In Sidoarjo District, 6.10% of pregnant women were reported to have anemia in 2022, caused by factors such as poor diet, inadequate nutritional status, and limited iron supplementation. Knowledge Gap: Few studies specifically investigate the combined role of dietary patterns and nutritional status in relation to anemia in localized community health settings. Aims: This study aims to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns, nutritional status, and anemia among pregnant women in the working area of Kepadangan Health Center. Results: Using a cross-sectional design with 20 respondents, the findings showed that 80% had poor dietary patterns, 77.8% had abnormal nutritional status, and 50% experienced anemia. Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between dietary patterns (p = 0.007) and nutritional status (p = 0.025) with anemia. Novelty: The study provides localized empirical evidence linking nutritional behavior and health outcomes in pregnancy within the Sidoarjo context. Implications: These findings highlight the importance of nutritional monitoring and dietary education for pregnant women, serving as a foundation for health policy interventions to reduce maternal anemia. Highlight: Poor dietary patterns strongly linked with anemia in pregnancy. Abnormal nutritional status significantly increases anemia risk. Nutritional monitoring and education are crucial preventive measures. Keywords: Anemia, Pregnancy, Dietary Patterns, Nutritional Status, Maternal Health

Abstract

Background : In Sidoarjo, anemia prevalence among adolescent girls increased from 32.9% in 2020 to 51.6% in 2023, raising concerns about nutrition and preventive health service utilization.Knowledge gap: Although diet, nutritional status, and adolescent Posyandu visits are considered determinants of anemia, the consistency of their relationship is unclear.Aim: This study investigated the relationship between adolescent Posyandu visits, diet, and nutritional status with anemia incidence in Penatarsewu Village.Results: Using a cross-sectional design with total sampling of 32 respondents, hemoglobin levels, BMI, and dietary patterns were assessed. Fisher’s exact test showed no significant relationship between Posyandu visits (p=0.338), diet (p=0.581), or nutritional status (p=0.198) with anemia incidence.Novelty: Unlike many prior studies linking nutrition to anemia, this study reveals that these factors may not directly correlate with anemia in this population.Implications: Other variables, including menstruation, chronic illness, socioeconomic, and environmental factors, should be explored in future studies with larger samples to strengthen anemia prevention strategies. Highlights: Adolescent anemia remains high in Sidoarjo. No significant link between diet, nutrition, visits, and anemia. Broader factors must be considered for anemia prevention. Keywords: Anemia, Adolescent Girls, Posyandu Visits, Diet, Nutritional Status

Abstract

General Background: Stunting remains a major public health concern, particularly in Indonesia, where nutritional deficiencies and maternal conditions contribute significantly to its prevalence. Specific Background: Maternal anemia, chronic energy deficiency, and short pregnancy spacing are identified as major maternal factors influencing childhood stunting. Knowledge Gap: However, the combined role of these maternal factors in determining stunting among toddlers is still underexplored in regional contexts. Aims: This study aims to analyze the association between maternal anemia, nutritional status, and pregnancy spacing with stunting incidence among toddlers in Jabon Community Health Center. Results: A cross-sectional design involving 96 toddlers aged 24–59 months revealed significant associations through chi-square tests (p=0.000 for all variables). Logistic regression showed maternal anemia (p=0.000; OR=244.6) and short pregnancy spacing (p=0.003; OR=17.5) as strong predictors of stunting, while nutritional status showed no significant effect (p=0.107). Novelty: The study highlights anemia during pregnancy as the most dominant determinant, with a risk 244 times higher for producing stunted children. Implications: These findings emphasize the importance of anemia prevention and reproductive health education as key interventions to reduce stunting prevalence, suggesting that early maternal care and optimal pregnancy spacing should be prioritized in public health programs. Highlights: Maternal anemia is the strongest determinant of stunting Short pregnancy spacing significantly increases stunting risk Nutritional status showed no significant multivariate effect Keywords: Maternal Anemia, Pregnancy Spacing, Nutritional Status, Toddlers, Stunting

Abstract

General Background: Preeclampsia remains a major complication of pregnancy, significantly contributing to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Specific Background: In Indonesia, the prevalence of preeclampsia continues to rise, with 587 cases reported in Sidoarjo Regency in 2022. Age, pregnancy spacing, and maternal nutritional status are suspected to be key determinants. Knowledge Gap: Although various studies have explored risk factors for preeclampsia, limited evidence links maternal age, pregnancy spacing, and nutritional status in a specific regional context. Aims: This study aims to examine the relationship between maternal age, pregnancy spacing, and nutritional status with the incidence of preeclampsia among pregnant women in Sidoarjo. Results: Among 96 respondents, 52.1% were at risk maternal age, 61.5% had risky pregnancy spacing, and 58.3% had abnormal nutritional status. Chi-square analysis revealed significant associations: maternal age with preeclampsia (p=0.001; OR=5.460), pregnancy spacing (p=0.000; OR=0.019), and nutritional status (p=0.000; OR=0.139). Novelty: This research provides region-specific evidence of maternal factors influencing preeclampsia in Sidoarjo. Implications: Strengthening antenatal care, focusing on maternal nutrition, reproductive age, and pregnancy planning, is essential to reduce preeclampsia prevalence. Highlights: Maternal age is strongly associated with preeclampsia risk. Pregnancy spacing less than 2 years or more than 5 years increases preeclampsia likelihood. Abnormal maternal nutritional status significantly correlates with preeclampsia. Keywords: Preeclampsia, Maternal Age, Pregnancy Spacing, Nutritional Status, Pregnant Women

Abstract

This work used histological and histochemical methods to look at how the mice's liver, kidney, and suprarenal glands develop after birth. Therefore, using mice in scientific research is permissible. The experiment used thirty-two samples of the liver, kidney, and suprarenal gland of mice, eight at each age (one day, seven days, fourteen days, and twenty-one days). A thin capsule encased the liver on the first day of life; a thicker capsule encased it after 14 to 21 days. Hepatocytes made up the parenchyma, and a central vein encircled them. The parenchyma was further split by the sinusoids, and Next to the endothelial cells that encircled the hepatic sinusoids were protruding Kupffer cells. The liver measurements change with aging. Cortical, midcortical, and juxtamedullary renal corpuscles are distinguished by their increasing diameter with age. Distal convoluted tubules are shorter than the longest convoluted tubules, which are the proximal ones. Furthermore, Henle loops were short at one-day and adult ages but long at other ages. Highlights: Postnatal development of liver, kidney, and adrenal glands showed significant age-dependent structural changes in mice. Renal corpuscles increased in diameter with age, while Henle loops were short at 1 day and adulthood but elongated at intermediate stages. Histochemical analysis revealed well-developed basement membranes and tubular structures, indicating progressive organ maturation.

Abstract

The reproductive system in female mammals is highly dynamic, with significant structural and hormonal changes occurring during the estrous cycle and pregnancy to support fertilization, implantation, and fetal development. In mice (Mus musculus), understanding the histological and hormonal variations in the ovary and uterus is crucial for advancing reproductive biology, disease control, and experimental models in biomedical research. Despite extensive studies on reproductive physiology, few have integrated hormonal profiling with detailed histomorphological changes across different reproductive phases in mice. This study aimed to investigate the effects of physiological status and pregnancy on ovarian follicle development, uterine histology, and hormonal regulation in adult female mice. Sixty ovaries and uteri were examined across six reproductive stages, revealing significant changes in follicular growth, corpora lutea formation, and endometrial structure. Estrogen peaked during estrus, stimulating Graafian follicle development and a thin endometrium, while progesterone dominated pregnancy, maintaining uterine quiescence and promoting decidualization. Pregnancy induced marked endometrial vascularization, increased myometrial thickness, and glandular proliferation, supporting implantation and fetal nourishment. This study is among the first to comprehensively correlate histological remodeling with hormonal dynamics across reproductive stages in mice. The findings enhance understanding of the endocrine–morphological interplay underlying reproductive success and provide valuable baseline data for future research in reproductive biology, fertility regulation, and comparative anatomy. Highlights: Significant hormonal fluctuations were observed across reproductive stages, with estrogen peaking during estrus and progesterone dominating pregnancy. Pregnancy induced major uterine changes, including increased vascularization, decidualization, and myometrial hypertrophy to support implantation and fetal development. Ovarian histology revealed dynamic follicular development, luteal formation, and atresia patterns influenced by hormonal regulation.

Abstract

General Background :Depression and sleep disturbances are major global health challenges that often co-occur, each worsening the other and contributing to a high disease burden. Specific Background : While existing studies confirm their bidirectional relationship, limited evidence explores how specific sleep parameters independently influence depression severity. Knowledge Gap : Current research often treats sleep problems as a single construct, overlooking domain-specific contributions such as sleep duration, efficiency, and latency. Aims : This study aimed to assess the prevalence of sleep disturbances and measure their relationship with the severity of depression among psychiatric patients using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Results :In a cross-sectional analysis of 250 participants, 84% exhibited poor sleep quality and 92% displayed depressive symptoms, with 40% classified as severe. All PSQI domains showed significant correlations with BDI-II scores (p < 0.001), indicating a progressive relationship between deteriorating sleep and increasing depression severity. Novelty : This study provides comprehensive empirical evidence linking distinct sleep parameters to depression severity, highlighting that sleep quality deterioration parallels depression progression. Implications :These findings underscore the need for integrated interventions targeting both conditions and support routine sleep quality screening as a critical component of depression management and prevention strategies.Highlight : Most participants (84%) showed poor sleep quality with severe depression levels. There is a significant correlation between all sleep domains and depression severity. Improving sleep quality may help reduce depressive symptoms effectively.

Abstract

Anemia is a widespread condition characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells or hemoglobin concentration, which decreases the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity. In pediatric populations, anemia represents a critical health issue that can affect growth, immunity, and overall development. Nurses play a vital role in the early detection and management of childhood anemia through proper knowledge and practice in clinical care. Despite the significance of nursing knowledge in pediatric anemia management, limited data exist regarding nurses’ awareness and understanding of childhood anemia in Al Hilla City, Iraq. Aims: This study aimed to assess nurses’ knowledge regarding pediatric anemia in hospitals of Al Hilla City and to determine the relationship between nurses’ demographic characteristics and their knowledge level. A descriptive study was conducted among 100 nurses using a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items. The results showed that 60% of nurses demonstrated a low level of knowledge, 20% moderate, and 20% good knowledge regarding pediatric anemia. Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between nurses’ knowledge and their demographic variables, including age, gender, marital status, education level, occupation, and years of experience (p > 0.05). This study is one of the first in Babylon province to systematically assess nurses’ knowledge on pediatric anemia using a structured tool based on national guidelines. The findings highlight the need for continuous professional education and training programs to enhance nurses’ competence in pediatric anemia management and improve patient care outcomes. Highlights: More than half of the nurses (60%) demonstrated a low level of knowledge regarding pediatric anemia management. No significant relationship was found between nurses’ knowledge levels and demographic variables such as age, gender, education, or experience. Findings emphasize the need for continuous education and training programs to improve nurses’ competence in pediatric anemia care.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a widespread condition negatively impacting quality of life and productivity. Nurses play a vital role in managing LBP, especially through the application of physiotherapy techniques. This study aimed to assess nurses' perception levels regarding LBP and physiotherapy exercises. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Basra hospitals between May and August 2024, involving 80 nurses. Data were collected using a 24-items structured questionnaire covering general perception and exercise therapy, rated on a 3-point Likert scale. Perception levels were categorized as poor, medium, or good. The majority of participants (62.5%) were female. Overall, 58% demonstrated medium perception, followed by 37% with good perception and 5% with poor perception. In part-specific analysis, 83% scored well in general perception, while 72% passed the exercise therapy section. The mean scores were 14.82 ± 3.62 and 13.70 ± 4.33, respectively. No significant associations were found between demographic variables and perception levels. The findings indicate a need for targeted educational programs to enhance nurses’ competence in physiotherapy-based LBP management. Highlights: More than half of the nurses (58%) demonstrated a medium perception level regarding lower back pain and physiotherapy management. Higher understanding was observed in general knowledge (83% passed) than in exercise therapy (72% passed). The study emphasizes the need for targeted educational programs to improve nurses’ competence in physiotherapy-based pain management.
