Abstract

Background: Work-related visual strain remains a significant occupational health problem, particularly among workers performing visually demanding tasks. Karawo craftsmen are at increased risk due to prolonged visual focus, suboptimal lighting, and close viewing distances, yet evidence on key contributing factors in this group remains limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between several visual risk factors, including age, eye-to-object distance, length of service, working hours, lighting, work posture, and medical history, and asthenopia complaints among karawo craftsmen. Methods: The results showed significant associations between age (p = 0.001), eye-to-object distance (p = 0.007), lighting (p = 0.002), and medical history (p = 0.001) and asthenopia among karawo craftsmen. Meanwhile, length of service (p = 0.072), working hours (p = 1.000), and work posture (p = 1.000) were not associated with asthenopia. Results: The results showed significant associations between age (p = 0.001), eye-to-object distance (p = 0.007), lighting (p = 0.002), and medical history (p = 0.001) and asthenopia among karawo craftsmen. Meanwhile, length of service (p = 0.072), working hours (p = 1.000), and work posture (p = 1.000) were not associated with asthenopia. Conclusion: The study found that age, eye-to-object distance, lighting, and medical history were significantly associated with asthenopia complaints among karawo craftsmen. It is recommended that karawo craft entrepreneurs collaborate with local health centers or health services so that elderly craftsmen or those with a history of vision problems can receive regular eye examinations.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease, contributing to substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic burden on healthcare systems globally. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with the prevalence of hypertension among a rural community in Central Java. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design involving 100 respondents selected via purposive sampling. Data collection took place between July and August 2025, utilising blood pressure measurements and the completion of a questionnaire on respondent characteristics. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, whilst multivariate analysis employed multiple logistic regression. Results: The proportion of respondents with hypertension reached 57%. Bivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations between hypertension and age (p = 0.012), BMI/obesity (p = 0.003), physical activity (p = 0.015), high-salt diet (p = 0.001), and stress level (p = 0.045), whilst smoking was not significant (p = 0.084). Multivariate analysis identified high-salt diet as the most dominant risk factor (AOR = 4.72; 95% CI: 2.11–10.56), followed by obesity (AOR = 3.80; 95% CI: 1.74–8.26) and low physical activity (AOR = 2.65; 95% CI: 1.21–5.81). Conclusion: Hypertension incidence is influenced by a combination of lifestyle and physiological factors. Integrated promotive and preventive strategies targeting salt reduction, weight management, physical activity, and stress management are required within primary healthcare services.

Abstract

Background: During pregnancy and childbirth there is stretching of the linea alba which results in diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), a condition where the abdominal muscles separate. Postpartum women with DRA often experience non-specific low back pain. This study aims to examine the association between DRA severity and non-specific low back pain in postpartum women. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical cross-sectional study research design. A total of 30 postpartum women at the were selected as samples using a purposive sampling technique. The degree of DRA was measured using a digital caliper, while non-specific low back pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between DRA severity and low back pain intensity (r = 0.519; p = 0.003), indicating that higher DRA severity is associated with greater pain intensity. Conclusion: DRA severity is moderately associated with non-specific low back pain in postpartum women. These findings emphasize the importance of assessing abdominal muscle integrity in postpartum care.

Abstract

Background: Pediatric eczema (atopic dermatitis; AD) and food allergies (FA) are rising globally and share immune pathways that extend harm beyond the skin to growth, cognition, and social development—yet no synthesis has examined all three developmental domains exclusively using primary empirical evidence. This systematic review aimed to determine whether children with AD and/or FA exhibit: (1) impaired physical growth; (2) adverse cognitive and neurodevelopmental outcomes; and (3) elevated rates of behavioral and social difficulties compared to unaffected peers. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and grey literature repositories identified 210 records after deduplication. Following title/abstract screening and full-text review of 98 articles, 35 primary empirical studies—spanning diverse designs—met inclusion criteria. Systematic and narrative reviews were excluded. Results: Twenty-two of 35 studies reported impaired physical growth, including lower height, weight, BMI, and head circumference z-scores, with 18 reaching statistical significance. Deficits were most pronounced in children with severe or persistent disease and multiple allergen restrictions. Cognitive and neurodevelopmental impacts were identified in 13 studies, with effects varying by developmental domain and disease severity. Behavioral and social difficulties appeared in 10 studies, predominantly linked to severe disease and sleep disruption. Conclusion: Eczema and food allergies impair child development through interconnected immune, nutritional, and psychosocial pathways. Multidisciplinary care and early intervention are essential; clinicians should routinely refer affected children to pediatric dietitians. Future research should prioritize large longitudinal studies incorporating standardized neurodevelopmental assessments and biomarkers.

Abstract

Background: Emergency departments require effective triage systems to prioritize patients based on clinical urgency and resource needs. The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) and Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) are widely used methods with distinct approaches and applications; however, comprehensive comparisons between them remain limited. This study aimed to analyze and compare the effectiveness of ESI and START in prioritizing emergency patients. Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review of articles published between 2020 and 2026. Data were obtained from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect using keywords related to ESI, START, and emergency triage. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on relevance, study design, and population. A total of 10 articles met the criteria and were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed using critical appraisal to synthesize findings. Results: START demonstrated significantly faster triage time (11 seconds) than ESI (18 seconds) (p < 0.001). ESI showed higher accuracy and predictive validity for clinical outcomes, including mortality, ICU admission, and resource utilization. Patients categorized as ESI level 1 had higher mortality (17%), with predictive performance (sensitivity 82.1% and negative predictive value 99.9%). In contrast, START showed acceptable sensitivity but carried risks of over-triage and under-triage. Some studies found no significant relationship between ESI and response time (p > 0.05). Conclusion: ESI provides more accurate patient classification in routine emergency settings, whereas START enables faster decision-making and is suited for mass casualty incidents. The selection of triage systems should consider clinical context and resource availability.
