Abstract

Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) remains a global health issue, often presenting as resistant hypertension even with multiple antihypertensive medications. This study aims to describe the characteristics of hypertension in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at Sanjiwani Regional Hospital. A descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using secondary data from medical records of CKD patients with hypertension who underwent hemodialysis from January 2022 to December 2023, involving 100 patients. The study found that the highest proportion of hypertensive CKD patients were aged 46-65 years (60%), predominantly male (63%), with grade 1 hypertension (69%). The majority had CKD for ≥5 years (60%) and were taking ≤3 antihypertensive medications (72%). The commonly used antihypertensive drug class was calcium channel blockers (68%), with diabetes mellitus identified as the primary etiology (45%). Many CKD patients experience resistant hypertension, primarily affecting males aged 46-65 years.

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in regions that have achieved elimination but remain vulnerable to imported cases due to high population mobility. This study describes the malaria surveillance system at the Oesapa Community Health Center during the elimination phase, specifically assessing its readiness to detect, report, and respond to cases in a timely. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved five key informants through in-depth interviews and document reviews, followed by a narrative analysis of planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The results indicate that all surveillance stages align with national guidelines, including data-driven planning, early detection via laboratory testing, travel history recording, and routine reporting. While the system at Oesapa is categorized as 'good,' enhancements in human resource capacity, migration surveillance, and cross-sector coordination are essential to prevent malaria reintroduction and sustain elimination status.

Abstract

Vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) remain a global health challenge. In Indonesia, immunization coverage has not yet reached the national target, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara Province, which recorded only 79.04% coverage in 2024. This study aimed to describe VPD surveillance and immunization coverage at the Camelia Integrated Health Service Post, involving 30 toddlers, through examination of health cards and interviews. The study used a qualitative approach with a retrospective descriptive analytical design. Surveillance was conducted through five stages: data collection, monthly data processing, analysis, ACER reporting, and follow-up in the form of catch-up immunization. The results showed that 33.3% of children were fully immunized on time, 30% experienced delayed immunization, and 36.7% had incomplete immunization status. DPT-HB-Hib (32.8%) and oral polio vaccine (23%) were the most frequently delayed vaccines due to parents’ lack of knowledge, concerns about side effects, child illness, busy schedules, limited access to services, and insufficient family support. The study concluded that although immunization coverage was not yet optimal, the implementation of VPD surveillance and a consistent catch-up immunization program effectively prevented VPD cases in the Camelia Posyandu area. Recommendations include strengthening digital recording systems, continuing health education, implementing digital reminder systems, optimizing home visits, and conducting periodic evaluations.

Abstract

The innate immune system serves as the first line of defense against pathogens, particularly in infants and children whose adaptive immune systems are not yet fully mature. Infants and children are highly susceptible to acute respiratory infections (ARI), diarrhea, and sepsis due to low antiviral cytokine production, a dominant Th2 response, and suboptimal immune cell maturation. This literature review aims to understand the role of innate immunity in determining susceptibility, disease course, and severity of infections in early childhood. The method used was a literature review of national and international journals published between 2020 and 2025, with thematic narrative analysis. The results of the study indicate that the innate immune system in children exhibits different activity compared to adults, with higher expression of antiviral genes and inflammatory mediators in the mucosa, but still low phagocytic function and production of certain cytokines. External factors such as nutrition, breast milk, vitamin D, and the microbiota also play a role in modulating the innate immune response. Understanding the mechanisms of innate immunity is crucial for developing strategies for preventing and managing infections in infants and children, including immunization, nutritional interventions, and probiotics, to reduce morbidity and mortality from infections in early life.
