The implementation of dengue fever control in Tanjungpinang City through the 1 House 1 Jumantik Movement program has not been optimal until now. The problem in controlling dengue fever through this program is that the community is inactive and does not know about the implementation of this program. The purpose of the researcher was to determine the implementation of dengue fever control through the 1 House 1 Jumantik Movement program in Tanjungpinang City. Qualitative Method and Policy Implementation theory by Marilee S Grindle. The results of the study showed (1) Content of policy, the researcher found from the indicators of the resources used, namely financial resources, the wages given were only enough for transportation costs. Insufficient resources also limited the number of jumantik cadres working, plus there was a change in funding sources to BOK which caused several health centers to experience a budget reduction in Jumantik honorariums (2) Context of Implementation found that the authority of each actor was not in accordance with the implementation manual for the 1 House 1 Jumantik Movement by the Ministry of Health. In addition, the government also did not provide guidance to the community so that many people did not know about this program.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the endemic diseases that is still a public health challenge in Indonesia. Although the government has launched various programs, such as 3M Plus and fogging, the number of DHF cases still shows significant variations each year. This study aims to evaluate the community's contribution to controlling DHF by emphasizing the extent to which awareness is applied in real action. The method used is a literature study of 30 scientific articles on DHF published between 2015 and 2024. The results of the analysis show that although adolescents' knowledge of DHF is quite good, the implementation of preventive measures such as cleaning the environment, draining water reservoirs, and eradicating mosquito nests has not been carried out consistently. Several inhibiting factors include low community participation, lack of environmental supervision, and limited support from local governments. Therefore, a more comprehensive approach is needed, including ongoing education, strengthening the role of health cadres, and community-based supervision to increase the effectiveness of DHF control efforts.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent, non-progressive motor disorder that occurs due to brain damage experienced before, during, or after birth. This condition is generally characterized by activity limitations and can be accompanied by various other disorders, such as delayed cognitive development, visual impairment, speech disorders, and neuromuscular disorders. Management of cerebral palsy is usually multidisciplinary, including physiotherapy, behavioral therapy, speech therapy, nutritional management, pharmacotherapy, and surgical intervention, with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life. This case report discusses a male patient, An. AZ, aged 4 years and 6 months, who was brought by his parents to the Emergency Department of Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh with the chief complaint of seizures that had occurred two days before admission and had worsened in the past day. The patient had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy since early childhood and regularly underwent physiotherapy. From the anamnesis, it was revealed that the patient experienced weakness on the left side of the body, which was more dominant than the right side. This condition is consistent with the manifestation of hemiplegia in cerebral palsy patients. Physical examination revealed delayed motor development, increased muscle tone on the left side, and enhanced pathological reflexes. Acute seizure management included administering anticonvulsant medication according to protocol, monitoring vital signs, and close observation in the inpatient ward. In addition to pharmacological therapy, the patient was advised to continue regular physiotherapy to maintain motor function, prevent contractures, and support the development of daily activities. This case emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to the management of cerebral palsy, particularly when complicated by seizures. Integration of acute medical care, rehabilitative therapy, and family support plays a crucial role in improving the patient's quality of life.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an acute infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. DHF remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, including in Aceh Province, which reports a high incidence rate annually. North Aceh ranks seventh in the number of DHF cases among all districts/cities in the province. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected mosquito or when mosquitoes acquire the virus after biting a viremic individual. This study aims to assess environmental and host factors among DHF patients admitted to Cut Meutia General Hospital. A descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted, involving 38 patients aged 1–17 years hospitalized from January 2019 to December 2021. The findings revealed that 78.9% of patients lived in homes without window screens, and 89.5% had water storage containers in their household environment. Regarding host factors, the majority of patients were aged 11–17 years (65.8%) and male (81.6%), with moderate levels of knowledge (55.3%) and preventive behavior (65.8%) toward DHF. These findings highlight the relevance of environmental and individual determinants in the occurrence of DHF and may inform future disease prevention and control strategies in endemic areas.

Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria, and is generally spread through contaminated food or drinks. One of the effective prevention efforts is to maintain personal hygiene, especially washing your hands before eating. This study aims to determine the relationship between handwashing compliance with the incidence of typhoid fever in children treated at PKU Muhammadiyah Delanggu Hospital. The research design used is observational analysis with a quantitative approach. The sampling technique was carried out by accidental sampling with a total of 34 children. Data were collected through questionnaires that measured the level of handwashing compliance and the history of typhoid fever incidence. The analysis of the relationship between variables was carried out using the Chi Square statistical test. The results showed that as many as 20 children (58.82%) had good handwashing compliance, with an average compliance score of 7.79 ± 1.666. Meanwhile, as many as 18 children (52.94%) were recorded to have typhoid fever. The results of the Chi Square test showed a p-value of 0.681, which means that there was no significant association between handwashing compliance and the incidence of typhoid fever in children at the study site. The conclusion of this study is that handwashing compliance has not shown a significant relationship with the incidence of typhoid fever in children at PKU Muhammadiyah Delanggu Hospital. These findings indicate the need for further studies by considering other factors such as water quality, environmental sanitation, and food consumption habits, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the prevention of typhoid fever in children.

Fever is a condition characterized by an increase in body temperature as a response to infection or inflammation, and it is one of the most common clinical symptoms in various diseases. The excessive use of synthetic antipyretics such as paracetamol can lead to side effects; therefore, safer and natural-based alternatives are needed. This study aims to determine the antipyretic activity of betel leaf and to compare its effectiveness with that of paracetamol.This research was conducted using an experimental laboratory method with a completely randomized design. The test subjects were male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar strain, induced with fever using a 20% yeast suspension. The rats were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control (paracetamol), and three treatment groups with low, medium, and high doses of the extract. Body temperature was measured every 30 minutes for 180 minutes after treatment. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test.The results showed that the [plant extract] exhibited significant antipyretic activity (p < 0.05) compared to the negative control, especially at medium and high doses. The effectiveness of the highest dose was comparable to that of paracetamol. This antipyretic effect is presumed to be associated with the presence of flavonoids and tannins that may inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a key mediator in the fever response.In conclusion,betel leaf has potential as an effective natural antipyretic agent and may be developed as a safer herbal-based alternative for fever treatment.

Fever is the body's response to infection or inflammation, which often indicates a certain medical condition. One common treatment for fever is the use of antipyretic drugs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antipyretic drugs in lowering body temperature in adult patients with fever. The method used was a clinical trial with a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, involving 100 adult patients with fever ≥38°C. Patients were divided into two groups: the group receiving antipyretic drugs (paracetamol) and the placebo group. Body temperature measurements were taken every 2 hours for 24 hours after drug administration. The results showed that the group receiving antipyretic drugs experienced a significant decrease in body temperature compared to the placebo group (p <0.05). The side effects that appeared were relatively mild and not dangerous..

Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito in urban environments and Aedes albopictus in rural settings. This disease is endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions and is a significant public health concern due to its potentially severe clinical manifestations. This case study presents an 8-year-old boy who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of a high-grade fever lasting for approximately three days. The fever was intermittent and accompanied by chills, which raised suspicions of a viral infection. In addition to fever, the patient also experienced dizziness with a spinning sensation, occasional cough, and flatulence. A thorough clinical evaluation was conducted, including history taking, physical examination, and supporting laboratory tests. Based on the clinical findings and laboratory results, the patient was diagnosed with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) grade I. DHF grade I is characterized by fever, positive tourniquet test, and evidence of plasma leakage without spontaneous bleeding. The patient was managed with supportive therapy, including fluid replacement and close monitoring of vital signs and hematocrit levels to prevent the progression to more severe stages of dengue. No significant complications occurred during the hospital stay. After a period of observation and clinical improvement, the patient was discharged in good condition. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and accurate diagnosis of DHF in pediatric patients, especially in endemic areas. Prompt and appropriate management is essential to prevent complications and ensure recovery. Continuous public health education and vector control remain key strategies in reducing dengue incidence and severity.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and it is often found in children aged 2-10 years. One of the factors causing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a decrease in platelet values. This study aims to analyze the correlation between platelet values ​​and severity based on clinical manifestations of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever at the Gending Health Center. The type of research was correlational analytic with Cross Sectional Design. The population was 44 respondents. The sample used Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever patients by Accidental Sampling. The instrument used is an observation sheet to measure platelet values ​​with the severity of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. Data was analysed  with One Way Anova Test. The results of the study obtained platelet values, namely the mean value of 150,454.60, the median value of 151,999.60, the mode value of 152,000, the minimum value of 60,000, the maximum value of 182,000. The degree of severity based on the clinical manifestations of Dengue Fever, the majority of patients were grade 2, namely 26 patients (59.1%). Analysis test using one way anova test obtained p value = 0.000 with a significant value of p value <α = 0.005 which means there is a correlation between Platelet Values ​​and the Degree of Severity Based on Clinical Manifestations of Dengue Fever at the Gending Health Center. Normal platelet values ​​can also be high and low platelet values ​​can also be low due to other factors, namely age, gender, weight and immune factors.
