Toxocariasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases are the most prevalent parasitic zoonoses affecting humans and animals that cause environmental contamination. Toxocara and other soil-transmitted helminth eggs in animal feces are the primary sources of soil-transmitted helminthiases transmission in the environment particularly in urban areas. These parasite eggs constitute a source of infection for both definitive and paratenic hosts. Avian and rodents, that can be paratenic hosts of these parasites, are a significant source of food for cats in urban settings. Stray cats and dogs also consume leftover food or receive frequent feedings from locals that increases the chance of acquiring soil-transmitted helminth infections. Despite the risks that these soil-transmitted helminths have, studies and information regarding their zoonotic potential is very limited to date. This study aimed to determine the relationship between cat feces and the environmental contamination of residential soils with Toxocara cati and other soil-transmitted helminth eggs. A total of 50 samples were collected in selected urban residences in Malate, Manila. Stool samples were processed using Formol-Ether Concentration Technique while optimized sugar flotation technique was used for the soil samples then both were subjected to microscopy. The overall infection rate was 76% and the contamination rate was 52%. Toxocara cati was the most prevalent zoonotic parasite identified in 48% of stool and 44% of soil samples followed by Ascaris spp. with 32% in stools and 16% in soil samples. Trichuris spp. with 24% and hookworm with 16% were also detected in stool samples but were absent in soil samples. The presence of Toxocara cati and Ascaris spp. eggs in feces and their environmental contamination might be accounted to their durable and highly resistant eggs as well as the as the Philippines as a tropical country which may induce optimal conditions for Toxocara spp. and other soil-transmitted helminth eggs’ development and survival.

Background: Hypertension is a public health concern since it has the potential to cause consequences such as stroke, coronary heart disease, renal failure, and eventually become one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. In many parts of Indonesia, notably rural regions, the prevalence of hypertension is relatively high. Information on hypertension risk factors in rural regions is required to develop effective interventions for the prevention and treatment of hypertension among rural communities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors associated with the prevalence of hypertension in rural areas. Methods: This research is a quantitative study using a case control approach with a total sample of 76 respondents. The comparison of the case and control groups in this study was 1:1.Questionnaires are used as instruments in data collection. The chi square test was used to assess the data. Results: Most of the respondents were in the late elderly age (35.5%), female (84.2%), had a family history of hypertension (40.8%), had normal BMI (30.3%), and obesity (28.9%). Most of the respondents did not smoke (93.4%), consumed less vegetables and fruit (78.9%), were not stressed (93.4%) and had sufficient levels of physical activity (82.9%).The findings revealed there was a relationship between age and hypertension (p value = 0.000). Gender (p = 0.753), family history of hypertension (p = 1,000), obesity (p = 0.502), smoking habit (p = 1,000), fruit and vegetable consumption (p = 0.778), level of stress (p = 1000), and physical activity (p = 0.542) were not linked with hypertension. Conclusions: Community health activities in rural regions must be strengthened in order to monitor public health status (including blood pressure monitoring) and approach the community to increase their involvement in these activities.

Background: Acute Otitis Media (OMA) or commonly known by the public as congek, is a condition where there is fluid in the middle ear with signs and symptoms of infection, and can be caused by various pathogens. AOM that gets the right treatment can interfere with daily activities and have an impact on permanent hearing loss. One of the efforts to prevent and overcome AOM cases is to know the risk factors. The purpose of this research is to find out what risk factors can cause AOM in elementary school children Methods: This study uses a quantitative method with a Case-Control approach and the sampling technique in the case group using Total Sampling and in the control group using Purposive Sampling. Respondents in this study were parents of elementary school students who were sampled in this study at SDN 1 Bobosan and SDN 4 Kranji with a total of 34 respondents, while the control group in this study used a ratio of 1:2. The variables used in this study were gender, immunization status, history of allergies, history of ARI, history of exclusive breastfeeding, parental income, number of family members in the house, exposure to cigarette smoke. Data collection was done by interview. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square test and continued with logistic regression test. The risk factor for AOM is known by calculating the odds ratio (OR) value. Results: Bivariate results showed a relationship between history of exclusive breastfeeding, parental income, and exposure to cigarette smoke with the incidence of AOM in elementary school children in Purwokerto. Multivariate results showed that there was an influence between cigarette smoke exposure (OR 7,043) and the incidence of AOM in elementary school children in Purwokerto Conclusions: Exposure to cigarette smoke is the most influential factor in the incidence of AOM in primary school children.

BACKGROUND: Malaria in pregnancy is a serious public health problem in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where both Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax are endemic. Malaria infection during pregnancy can cause maternal anemia, low birth weight, preterm delivery and congenital malaria, which can have serious consequences for the health and survival of mothers and infants. The aim of this literature review was to assess & summarize the current state of knowledge and practice on malaria epidemiology, prevention and treatment in pregnant women and their newborns in PNG, based on ten research papers published from 1986 to 2021. Subjects and Methods: This was a systematic review conducted by searching articles from Google Scholar database and Mendeley Elsevier database and PubMed. The inclusion criteria were namely articles published in 1900 to 2022 years, cross sectional design study, and using quantitative method. The study subjects were pregnant women who visited antenatal clinics with or without malaria, research locations in Papua New Guinea. The exclusion criteria were articles that did not available in full text and located not in Papua New Guinea. The articles were then critically appraised and synthesized according to five main themes: anemia and iron deficiency, submicroscopic malaria infections, placental malaria infection, and knowledge, attitudes and practices concerning malaria in pregnancy & congenital malaria. Results: A total of 10 papers were included in the review, covering various aspects of malaria epidemiology, prevention and treatment in pregnant women and their newborns in PNG. The main findings of the papers were: (1) anemia was very common and associated with splenomegaly, iron deficiency and malaria infection; (2) submicroscopic infections were common, but not associated with maternal anemia or low birth weight; (3) placental malaria infection was detected in 18.5% of placentas, and was associated with maternal anemia, low birth weight and preterm delivery; (4) there was a general awareness of the term “malaria”, but it was often confused with other illnesses or pregnancy symptoms; (5) congenital malaria infection was detected in 5.6% of newborns, mostly due to P. falciparum. Conclusion: This literature review provided useful evidence and recommendations for improving malaria prevention and control in pregnant women and their newborns in PNG, but also highlighted the need for more research and action to address the remaining challenges and gaps. The review concluded that malaria in pregnancy is a serious public health problem in PNG that requires comprehensive and integrated approaches to achieve its elimination by 2030.

Background : Parenting style can influence the occurrence of obesity in children through their attitudes, habits, choices, and diet patterns. School-age children require a balanced nutritional intake to support their growth and development. Therefore, parents need to pay great attention to their child's nutrition to ensure that their growth and development processes are not disrupted and to prevent various illnesses. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between parenting style and diet patterns with the incidence of obesity in school-age children at Muhammadiyah University Elementary School, Purwokerto Methods : This research used a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. The total number of respondents in this study was 46 students. The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) was used to assess parenting styles, while the Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to determine the diet patterns of the respondents.The data analysis used in this study was the Spearman correlation test. Results : The results of the bivariate analysis indicate that there is no significant relationship between parenting style and obesity (p=0.331). However, there is a significant association between fast food consumption and obesity (p=0.000), while there is no significant association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and obesity (p=0.309). Conclusions : There was no association found between parenting style and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages with obesity. However, a significant association was observed between fast food consumption and obesity among school-age children at Muhammadiyah University Purwokerto Primary School.

Head lice infestation is still a health problem in Indonesia. Currently, there has been a lot of research on the incidence of pediculosis capitis. However, there are still few articles that systematically review the incidence of head lice infestation. The purpose of writing this article is to examine cases of pediculosis capitis in several regions in Indonesia in order to obtain systematic and comprehensive prevalence data. A literature search was carried out in October 2021 through Google Scholar and obtained 13 relevant articles. Based on the above review, it can be concluded that the highest incidence of pediculosis capitis is in Islamic boarding schools, attacking elementary school-aged children, with a prevalence range of 29.3%-88.9% and can occur throughout Indonesia. This condition can be caused by a lack of personal hygiene, so that it can continue to be a source of infestation for children around it.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a public health problem in Indonesia until now because there are still many morbidity and mortality rates every year. DHF cases in the working area of the Air Putih Health Center fluctuate every year, in 2019 there were 109 cases, in 2020 there were 29 cases and in 2021 there were 44 cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between breeding places and PSN behavior with the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in the working area of the Air Putih Public Health Center, Samarinda City. This study used quantitative, analytic survey methods with a cross-sectional approach where the subjects in this study were houses within the working area of the Air Putih Community Health Center with a sample of 59 houses, a sampling technique set by WHO. Collecting data with a questionnaire, check list and analyzed using the fisher's exact test. As for the bivariate test results, it was found that there was a relationship between TPA for daily needs (p-value = 0.00), TPA not for daily needs (p-value = 0.00) and PSN behavior (p-value = 0.05 ) with the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in the working area of the Air Putih Public Health Center, Samarinda City. Suggestions in this study, the people in the working area of the Air Putih Health Center can reduce mosquito breeding places, drain the TPA regularly and bury used items that are not used. It is also hoped that the Puskesmas can improve coordination with the community and cadres in checking mosquito larvae regularly so that they can eradicate the DHF vector.

The duration of breastfeeding is influenced by sociodemographic, biomedical, and psychosocial factors. This study aims to analyze the comparison of the duration of breastfeeding for 6-month infants between rural and urban areas in Indonesia using data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. This study analyzes secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) with a sample of namely infants aged 6 months as many as 15316 subjects. The independent variable in this study is the sociodemographic characteristics of the place of residence (rural/urban). The dependent variable in this study is the duration of breastfeeding. Data processing and analysis was carried out using the Chi Square Test. Chi square test showed the value of p = 0.00 (p <0.05). This shows that there is a significant difference between the duration of exclusive breastfeeding in urban and rural areas. There are differences in the demographic factors of rural (rural) and urban (urban) residence with the duration of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months for infants.
