Abstract

Background: Intestinal worms are diseases caused by infections from worms that reside in the soil. Children's understanding of personal hygiene is crucial, as good knowledge about intestinal worms can promote preventive actions. The high prevalence of worm infections is influenced by factors affecting the life cycle of these worms, such as poor environmental sanitation, inadequate personal hygiene, and the socioeconomic conditions of the community. Objective: This study aims to identify the relationship between knowledge of intestinal worms, behavior, and environmental hygiene among children aged 7-9 years in Namo Sialang Village in 2024. Method: This research is a correlational study with a cross-sectional design. Result: The study involving 49 samples revealed a significant relationship between knowledge and the prevalence of worm infections (p = 0.003), as well as between behavior and worm infection occurrence (p = 0.002). Environmental sanitation also showed a significant correlation with worm infections (p = 0.010). Conclusion: This conclusion indicates a significant relationship between knowledge, behavior, and environmental sanitation with the occurrence of intestinal worms. In terms of distribution, the level of knowledge influences the prevalence of worm infections.

Increasing age, having a smoking habit and a history of breast cancer in the family are risk factors for breast cancer. However, there are several studies that say that age, smoking habits and family history do not increase the risk of breast cancer. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between age, smoking habits and family history with the incidence of breast cancer at Vina Estetica General Hospital in 2023. Research Methods: This study used the Chi Square test and the Binomial Logistic Regression statistical test with a cross-sectional approach to see the relationship between age, smoking habits and family history with the incidence of breast cancer at Vina Estetica General Hospital in 2023 with a sample size of 65 respondents. Results: In this study, the most respondents were found based on age> 35 years as many as 43 respondents (66.2%), based on smoking habits as many as 42 respondents (64.6%) and based on family history as many as 41 respondents (63.1%). relationship between age ≥ 35 years with the incidence of breast cancer with p-value Chi Square table 0.05 (dk 1) 3.841; RP 3.18; 95% CI 1.5779 - 6.3086. There is a relationship between smoking habits and the incidence of breast cancer with p-value Chi Square table 0.05 (dk 1) 3.841; RP 3.38; 95% CI 1.6823 - 6.7790. There is a relationship between family history and the incidence of breast cancer with p-value Chi Square table 0.05 (dk 1) 3.841; RP 3; 95% CI 1.5972 - 5.6742 and in the multivariate results obtained the dominant factors are age p-value 0.003, smoking habits p-value 0.012 and family history p-value 0.018. Conclusion: The results of the study found a relationship between age, smoking habits and family history with the incidence of breast cancer.

Abstract

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease caused by a metabolic disorder that occurs in the pancreatic duct. DM is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels (BGD), often referred to as hyperglycemia. This condition occurs when the pancreas reduces total insulin production. Research methods: this observation is of an experimental laboratory character using a research designpost test only controlled group designin male white mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2). Results: The p-value for the initial KGD was <0.138, the p-value for the KGD in the first week of HFD administration was <0.310, the p-value for the KGD in the 2nd week of HFD administration was <0.378, the p-value for the KGD in the 3rd week of HFD administration was <0.333, the p-value for the KGD in the 4th week of HFD administration was <0.241. Conclusion: The combination of mango leaf water extract at a dose of 200 mg/kgBW and Chinese betel leaf at a dose of 200 mg/kgBW was more effective in reducing blood glucose compared to the other groups.
