Abstract

Floods are natural disasters that frequently occur in Indonesia and contribute to an increased risk of communicable diseases due to environmental changes, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water. This study aims to describe communicable diseases surveillance after floods based on findings from various studies in Indonesia. The method used was a literature review by searching for relevant scientific articles through the Google Scholar and PubMed databases for publications from 2018 to 2025. The articles included were selected based on topic relevance, availability of full text, and relevance to communicable diseases surveillance after flooding. The results of the study show that the most common communicable diseases that emerge after flooding include diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, dermatitis, dengue fever, leptospirosis, malaria, typhoid fever, and measles. The increase in cases of these diseases is related to water source contamination, damage to sanitation facilities, temporary housing density, and the formation of puddles that support the development of disease vectors. This study also shows that vulnerable groups, especially toddlers and the elderly, as well as productive age groups with high levels of environmental exposure, are at greater risk of contracting diseases after flooding. Integrated health surveillance, supported by public education and the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS), plays an important role in the early detection of increased cases, strengthening health responses, and controlling communicable diseases after flooding in affected areas.

Abstract

Very late stent thrombosis (VLST) in bare-metal stents (BMS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication occurring more than one year after stent implantation. Traditionally, BMS were believed to achieve full endothelialization within months, thereby minimizing late thrombotic risk. However, emerging evidence highlights mechanisms such as neoatherosclerosis and neointimal proliferation as key contributors to VLST, which can present as acute coronary syndrome even many years post-implantation. We report on a 76-year-old male with a history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a BMS in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) 10 years prior. He presented with sudden severe chest pain, nausea, and diaphoresis. Electrocardiography revealed an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the inferior-anterior leads. Emergency coronary angiography demonstrated very late thrombosis within the BMS segment of the LAD, accompanied by significant in-stent restenosis. The patient underwent successful primary PCI with the implantation of a new drug-eluting stent overlapping the previous stent, restoring TIMI 3 flow. Notably, risk factors included advanced age, chronic kidney disease, active smoking, and dyslipidemia, despite the patient maintaining daily aspirin therapy. This case underscores that VLST in BMS, although uncommon, remains a critical cause of late myocardial infarction, primarily driven by neoatherosclerosis and neointimal changes within the stented segment. Prompt recognition and emergent PCI can achieve favorable outcomes. Moreover, continuous secondary prevention with long-term antiplatelet therapy and aggressive risk-factor modification is essential to mitigate the risk of VLST, even many years after initial stent placement. Ongoing vigilance is warranted in managing patients with historic BMS to improve prognosis and prevent fatal events.

Abstract

Children under five years old are the most vulnerable group to nutritional problems. Undernourished children are at risk of reduced intelligence quotient, decreased immunity, lower productivity, mental and emotional health problems, and growth failure. Various maternal factors, including knowledge, and attitude influence this nutritional problem among children under five. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge level and attitude and the incidence of stunting among children under five in Bayung Gede Village, Kintamani District, Bangli, Bali. This observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 48 mothers with children under the age of five, selected using consecutive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess maternal knowledge and attitude toward stunting, while children’s nutritional status was determined based on height-for-age measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed that 30 (62.5%) of mothers had good knowledge, and 29 (60.4%) demonstrated a positive attitude toward stunting prevention. A significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and stunting incidence, with children of mothers who had poor knowledge being more likely to experience stunting. Maternal attitude was also significantly associated with stunting incidence, indicating that a negative attitude increased the likelihood of stunting. These findings suggest that maternal knowledge and attitude play important roles in the occurrence of stunting. Strengthening educational interventions and improving access to health information for mothers are essential strategies to reduce stunting incidence among children under five.
