Abstract

Background: Malnutrition is a condition of severe nutritional deficiency caused by an insufficient intake of energy and protein from daily food consumption. The most lethal impacts are declined IQ score, decreased cognitive development, and diminished sensory integration, which could harm the life of the children and resulted in the loss of the national youth generation. One effort to overcome this problem is to develop a diet alternative using F100 materials substituted from kelor (Moringa Oleifera) flour as the main ingredient and reform it into edible biscuits. Kelor leaves contain multiple micronutrient elements that are essential for children and have been proven to increase the nutritional status of children with malnutrition.Objective: This research aims to identify the effect of the supplementation of F100 biscuits modified with kelor flour substitution on the nutritional status of under-five children with malnutrition.Methods: This was a pre-experimental study conducted in Kendari city Indonesia from May-June 2019. Twenty children were included and given modified biscuits on a scale of 100 gm per day for six consecutive weeks. Data were analyzed using dependent and independent sample t-test.Results: There was a significant effect of the supplementation of F100 modified biscuits on the nutritional status of under-five children with malnutrition (p = 0.002).Conclusion: The F100 supplementation modified with kelor flour substitution biscuits has been proven to be effective in increasing the nutritional status of under-five children with malnutrition.

Abstract

Background: Penile fracture is an emergency and uncommon presentation to the urology department. Immediate surgical repair can be a standard of care for patients with penile fracture. Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of surgical repair of the fractured penis.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted from Jan 2017 to Dec 2018 in the urology department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Thirty-five patients with fractures of the penis were included in this study. After proper evaluation, surgery was performed under spinal anesthesia. Follow up was scheduled at 6th week, 3rd month, and 6th month. We used validated questionnaires of the ‘International index of erectile function (IIEF-5)' for married and ‘Single question self-report (SQSR)' for unmarried patients to evaluate postoperative erectile function.Results: Total 35 patients completed three follow up. The mean age of patients was 36.4 years, and 88% of them were married. The most common triggers were for vigorous sexual intercourse (68.5%) followed by history of rolling over in bed with erect penis (20.0%). Per-operative findings were: rupture of tunica albuginea (100%); rupture of corpora cavernosa on the right (65.7%). After 6th month, 28 patients (80%) were able to maintain their normal erectile function. However, seven patients developed erectile dysfunction, of which 4 had a mild form, and 3 had mild to moderate form erectile dysfunction. All patients complained of pain during or after intercourse, but the pain has gradually subsided with time.Conclusion: Immediate surgical exploration and repair of fracture penis can offer complete recovery of sexual and voiding functions.

Abstract

Background: Use of tobacco may cause severe diseases like cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer. Smoking is a major threat to public health in many low- and middle-income countries.Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of smoking among boys in the age group 13-15 years at Pulau Weh in Indonesia, and identify factors associated with smoking.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 291 male students, aged 13-15 years, in three participating secondary schools. A modified version of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey questionnaire was used to collect data. The association between active smoking within the previous 30 days, and social and demographic factors was analysed by multiple logistic regressions.Results: 40.2% of the male students were habitual smokers at the time of the study. The adjusted odds of current smoking increased with increasing age (odds ratio [OR] = 5.1, 95% CI: 2.2–12.3); having a father with a university or university college education (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.0–7.1); having friends who smoke (OR = 5.2, 95% CI: 1.6–16.5), having sibling who smoke (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.2–6.2); having a father who smokes (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.1–3.9) and attending a rural school (OR = 7.4, 95% CI: 2.8–19.6).Conclusions: Cigarette smoking was found to be prevalent among 13 to 15-year-old male students in Pulau Weh, Indonesia, significantly higher in students attending a rural school compared to those attending an urban school. Indonesia should take steps to redress the smoking epidemic among adolescents by various means, e.g., minimizing access to tobacco products, stricter enforcement of tobacco control laws and changing attitudes to smoking.
