Introduction: Indonesia is an archipelagic country which is surrounded by coasts with great potential to develop the existing tourism sector. Objective: The aim of this research is to improve the coastal tourist nursing model to improve the behaviour of the Balawista (the coastal rescuer team).The coastal tourist nursing model is a part of community nursing. Method: The design of this research is operational research with three phaseswhich are phase I problem identification, phase II model and module development andphase III the coastal tourist nursing model trial through the establishment of a coastal health post by using quantitative quasi experimental research post-test with the control group, with a cluster sampling technique.The coastal tourist nursing model was carried out on the coast of Central Kuta sub-district, Badung Regency in 118 Balawistas. The statistical test used was chi square, t-test, multiple linear regression test and General linier Model Repeated Measure (GLM-RM). Results: The results obtainedwere that the coastal tourist nursing model wasproven to affect the Balawista’sbehaviour. Therefore this model can be used as one of the health efforts based on the communitywithin the coastal community in Indonesia.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (PR) are important vital signs for basic body performance. In spite of the effect of dental anxiety on vital signs, other cofactors should also be considered. Aims: The study aimed to investigate vital signs measurements changes before and after ultrasonic and manual scaling, andto investigate the effect of other cofactors such as waiting time, and route of attending the dental clinic. Settings and Design:A cross-sectional design study. Methods and Methods: Two-hundred and forty patients were enrolled in this study. The waiting time before the clinical session, and the route by which the patient reached the clinic were determined.Whereas, BP and PR were measured at the clinical session before and after scaling. Statistical analysis used: Paired t-test was used in this study. Results: A significant reduction in PR among patients after receiving scaling was observed. Moreover, a significant reduction in PR was observed in those patients who didn’t wait prior treatment, reached the clinic via stairs, and received ultrasonic scaling. Before and after scaling non-significant change in BP of the patients was observed. However, the reduction in systolic BP after scaling was non-significant when the patient reached the clinic via elevator, while there was a significant reduction in systolic BP when the patient used stairs. Conclusions: Scaling might reduce patient dental anxiety.Additionally,the waiting time before the clinical session and the route by which the patient reached the clinic could also reduce relative changes in BP and PR. Key-words: blood pressure, periodontal disease, dental anxiety.

Absract: Respiratory tract infection is the most common cause of illness, especially in developing countries. Influenza remains a major public health problem and an endemic respiratory disease in Iraq, therefore this study was conducted to identify the influenza virus (IV) Types and subtype existed. 2515 nasopharyngeal swaps taken from a hospitalized patients suffering from acute respiratory tract infection a cross sectional study was conducted in Iraq from January 2019 to February 2020. The RT-qPCR was used to detect human IV, and IV genotypes among the study population. The (IV) surveillance showed (33.44%) of tested samples were found positive to the influenza virus including two types A 25.45% , and B11.96%. influenza A subtype which contains H1N1 17.41%, and H3N2 4.05%, and Type B Victoria was represented of positive infection. These findings indicated that subtype H1N1 is the dominant strain in Iraq. The age group under 15 years old is considered the most vulnerable to contracting Influenza type A H1N1 25% and type B viruses (40%) followed by the age group 30-45 years old. On the other hand, the age group 15-30 recorded the highest infection rate 25% out of the total H3N2. The non-significant percentage related to the age of over 75 years to all types and subtypes. Baghdad has the high significances incidence of influenza Type A, and B with the percentage 65.92%, and 52.16% respectively of the total tested cases, followed by Dohuk Governorate by percentage 7.2%, 11.96% respectively. Infections of influenza A subtypes H1N1, and H3N2 were distributed differently among governorates, as the subtype prevailed H1N1 in the governorates Baghdad, Dohuk 5.7%, Diyala 6.84%, Salahaddin 2.05%, The Qar 1.83% respectively, while the subtype H3N2 prevailed in the governorates Anbar 30.4%, Baghdad 17.2%, Erbil 14.70%, Dohuk 13.72%, Basra 9.8/5, Diwaniya 2.94% respectively. The epidemic spread of the virus showed earlier primary peak began from October until the end of February, an increase in infection rates rising in the winter months in both the types Influenza type A with the highest peak in a December, and a decline in the summer of type B and a decrease in the subtype H2N3.

Bacground: In general, patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) require the installation of endotracheal tubes (ETT) and ventilators. Suction is an intervention to prevent airway obstruction and maintain airway patency. If ETT suction procedure in terms of regulation and suction duration is not applied correctly, critically ill patients would suffer from haemodynamic problem. Objective:The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of negative suction pressure on hemodynamic indices of patients. Methods:This research is a quantitative study using the quasy experimental method with a pre and post test design without a control group involving 40 respondents taken by accidental sampling technique with repeated measurements. Patient observation sheets, medical records, and treatment records were used to collect the data. Inclusion criteria were adult patients ≥15 years old with ETT and ventilator while the exclusion criteria was the patients with a diagnosis of pneumonia and incomplete observations. Statistical analysis was applied by paired and independent t-test Results: The paired t-test showed a significant difference in the mean of SpO2, RR, HR and MAP, before and after suction with p value <0.05 in each group.There was a difference in the mean of arterial pressure (MAP) between the two groups with p value = 0.003 (<0.01). Whereas hemodynamic indicators (SpO2, RR and HR) did not show any difference (p>0.001). Discussion: Both of these pressures are safe to use in open ETT suction, because the increase in hemodynamics is within the safe limits, however suction must be carried out according to procedure and must be properly monitored.

The most common form of posterior uveitis is the one triggered by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii namely ocular toxoplasmosis (OT).The current conducted work was aimed at early identifying ocular toxoplasmosis employing the use of a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR), for targeted T. gondii related B1 gene using two sets of primers, and a latex agglutination (LA) test as routine serological diagnosis for toxoplasmosis. This study consisted of collecting 62 blood samples from patients with a physician-recognized OT that visited Al-Diwaniyah General Teaching Hospital, Al-Diwaniyah City, Iraq, for eye-health related problems. The findings of the LA uncovered various incidence rates distributed over a classified range of ages, genders, and residential areas (urban vs rural); however, a 41 (66.13%) positive infection rate was revealed in general for all categories. Moreover, the firstrun-PCR outcomes demonstrated a 32 (51%) positive identification rate; however, the remaining negative samples were subjected the second-run nested PCR that showed 25 (83%) of positive detection rate of the B1 gene, which, in total, declares that 57 (91%) of the patients were OT-infected. The current study reveals successful use of blood samples for early detection of T. gondii caused uveitis devoting the utilization of the PCR method that targeted the B1 gene.

Objectives: Humans generally have two times, which are daytime for activity and night for rest (circadian rhythm). Shift system of working can cause a lack of sleep or disruption of a person's sleep cycle, especially those who have a night shift. The shift of working can cause sleep deprivation of the nurses. This study aim was to identify the differences in sleep quality between nurses with two-shifts of work and nurses with three-shifts of work. Method: This study conducted on June-July 2019 in one private hospital in Jakarta, with a cross-sectional approach. This study used quantitative method. The sample of this study was 90 nurses (two-shifts: n=35; three-shifts: n= 55). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used as the instrument that has passed for Validity and Reliability (Chronbach alpha=0.820). Univariate and Mann-Whitney U were used to analyze the data. Results: This study found that most of the respondents were women (83,3%), range of ages 26-65 (51,11%), and nurses with two-shifts have poor sleep quality as 15.56%, nurses with three-shifts have poor sleep quality as 46.67%. There are differences in sleep quality between nurses with two-shifts and nurses with three-shifts (p value= 0.002). Conclusion: The shift work system can cause poor sleep quality of the nurses, especially for the nurses with threeshifts. Future researches expected to explore the factors that affect the poor sleep quality of nurses.

Ellagic acid is polyphenolic compound which is present in many fruits. Many pharmacological properties of Ellagic acid have been reviewed and described for many years. Some properties study in animals, while the other have been evaluated in humans including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and Hepatoprotective effects, as well as the protection it provides against diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. In this study we investigated the effect of Ellagic acid on induced psoriatic-like dermatitis in mice. In this study, 50 mice were involved, divided into 5 groups (10 group of each). Except Group I (healthy), all group received Imiquimod for psoriasis induction during all days of experiment. Group II Induced and without treatment and the other groups III, IV and V were induced and treated twice daily with wool fat, 0.05% Clobetasol propionate, 5% Ellagic acid respectively, from day 7 until the end of experiment. The result showed that Ellagic acid has anti-psoriatic effect by significant decreasing the PASI score and ameliorating the histological changes that induced by IMQ and by significant decreasing the concentration of skin TNF-alpha as compared to induced group (II), and also significant decreasing the concentration of skin VEGF and pJAK3 as compared to induced group II and vehicle group III. In conclusion, the therapeutic effect of Ellagic acid against Imiquimod-induced psoriasis probably through mechanistic pathway involved anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenesis effect.

Introduction: Judging by the phenomenon and the weightlifting exercise program reported by coaches, weightlifters are more to perform exercises for increased muscle strength in the form of weight training exercises. Exercises in the form of physical conditions or fitnes s exercises for invisible athletes are implemented in the training program. As a result, the weight lifting athlete has a physical freshness in a less good category (less good S/d enough). Objective: The goal of the study was to see the positive impact of healthy heart gymnastics on physical fitness athletes of the city of Padang. Method: Types of a quasi research experiment. The population will be immediately sampled in this study, namely the weightlifters of Padang city which amounted to 18 people. Inst ruments using the TKJI test before and after given healthy heart gymnastics treatment. Data were analyzed using parametric statistics through test ״t״ formula at a significance of 0.05 α. Results: Based on the results of the research analysis was concluded that there is a significant increase in physical fitness, Mean difference (difference in calculating average) = 4.78, T count = 13,719 > this = 2,120. Meaning healthy Heart Gymnastics provides meaningful influence on the improvement of the physical fitne ss of the Padang city weightlifters.

Toxoplasmosis is a global disease, caused by a protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. About onethird of people are born with anti-Toxoplasma antibodies worldwide. The deficiency of minerals and some bone markers had a strong impact on getting infectious diseases. The main aims involve: to assess the incidence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sera of women and to check any changes in the level of some minerals and bone markers. a total of 183 sera and 45 sera in test and control groups, respectively were tested for Toxoplasma antibodies using ELISA and spectrophotometry for determining minerals. All rates of toxoplasmosis were 41.53% contributed 24.59% for Toxo-IgG antibodies and 16.94 % for IgM. The relationship between seropositive toxoplasmosis and women's age was significant, p<0.05. The rate of toxoplasmosis in sera of women from the urban area was higher than those in the rural area, p<0.05.The vitamin D deficiency rate was 63.93 % among women in relation to toxoplasmosis and the high rate of deficiency was recorded among women aging from 26 to 35 years. Relationship between Toxoplasma positivity, calcium, vitamin D deficiency with women age was significant. Hypermagnesemia and hyper-zincemia during toxoplasmosis were higher compared to those in the control group, P<0.05. Furthermore statistically S. Copper during toxoplasmosis was higher compared to those in the control group. Serum Vitamin D deficiency, calcium, and magnesium mean levels in considering to Toxoplasma picture (acute, chronic and subacute) were significant. The relationship between seropositive toxoplasmosis with, vitamin D disorder, minerals, and bone markers was significant.

Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic pathogen in which the reactivation of a dormant infection can cause death in immunocompromised patients. The goal of this study is to investigate the possible risk-factor of Toxoplasma infection and its possible correlation with Interleukin-12 (IL-12) cytokine in leukemia patients and according the leukemia types. In this study, 185 patients were enrolled. All serum samples were tested by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for the measurement of antiToxoplasma (IgG, IgM) antibodies and IL-12 levels. The serological examination revealed that 63 (51.2%) leukemia patients were positive to antiToxoplasma IgG compared with the sera of the control group which was 48 (77.4%). Their positivity rates for antiToxoplasma IgM in leukemia patients was 3 (2.4%) while it was 2 (3.23%) in the control group. . The mean level of IL-12 in leukemia patients infected with toxoplasmosis was the significant 188.865 ±2.845 pg/ml,being higher than the mean value in the positive control which was 85.330±2.834pg/ml.Furthermore, the seroprevalence of antiToxoplasma IgG was the highest in the age group (4150) years in patients with leukemia. There were no significant differences between age and leukemia patients infected with toxoplasmosis. Since most immunosuppressive patients are exposed to various possible risk factors including Toxoplasma, primary infection or reactivation, so it is important to diagnose and treat toxoplasmosis in leukemia patients to reduce the consequences of this infection.
