This study aims to thoroughly explore the role of medical check-ups in maintaining the basic physical health of the residents of Sarirogo Village, with a particular focus on the prevention of non-communicable diseases, which have been on the rise in the area. The background of this research is based on the fact that there is a high prevalence of non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, that often go undetected in their early stages. This is primarily due to a lack of public awareness about the importance of regular health checkups, as well as limited access to adequate healthcare services. As a result, delayed diagnoses exacerbate the overall health conditions within the community. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method to analyze sources from relevant scientific journals. These sources serve as the theoretical foundation to understand the relationship between the frequency of medical check-ups and the prevention of chronic disease progression. The findings of this study highlight the significant role that medical check-ups play in the early detection of various potentially life-threatening health conditions, thereby preventing the development of more serious illnesses. Based on these findings, this research emphasizes the urgent need to enhance the accessibility of regular medical check-up services for the residents of Sarirogo Village, alongside the necessity to raise collective awareness about the benefits of routine health screenings.

Breast cancer is when cells lose their ability to run mechanisms as they should and function normally. The global prevalence of breast cancer is 2.3 million women diagnosed with the disease. The side effects of treatment and the cancer itself often cause fatigue, one of the most common complaints of breast cancer patients. The most common management is a non-pharmacological therapy of Benson relaxation and lavender aromatherapy to manage fatigue. This quasi-experimental research determined the influence of Benson relaxation and lavender aromatherapy on fatigue in breast cancer patients with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. This study involved a total of 31 breast cancer patients, selected through a purposive sampling technique. The Wilcoxon test found a p-value of 0.014 (<0.05), indicating the effect of Benson relaxation and lavender aromatherapy collaboration toward fatigue in breast cancer patients. Nurses anticipate the application of this research to manage patients' fatigue levels, while non-pharmacological therapeutic research could potentially lower fatigue rates in other chronic diseases by incorporating new variables and extending therapy duration for a more substantial impact.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disorder worldwide. DM is the most common chronic illness in adults. It is estimated that 300 million people will have DM by 2025, and it will reach approximately 439 million and the prevalence is estimated to be 7.7% by 2030. The decrease of blood glucose levels in patients with DM decreases the mortality and morbidity rates significantly.Objective: To identify the potential risk factors of poor glycemic control among patients having type2 Diabetes mellitus in Al-diwaniya city. Methods: A total of 340 patients were included in the study. This was cross sectional study conducted in the Diabetes  Center at Al-diwaniya city, Iraq, from period of 1st of February to the 1st September2023. Based on the cutoff point of Glycosylated hemoglobin of 7, the poor control were the patients with (Glycosylated hemoglobin is ≥ 7) and the good control were the diabetic patient with Glycosylated hemoglobin is <7. A questionnaire developed to gather the demographic, lipid profile, disease characteristics and lifestyles behaviors and filled by the researcher through direct interview. Results: The total number of poor controls was 221 and the good control was 119 patients. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding sex, age, marital status and occupation.

Smoking, Body Mass Index and HDL level were not significant factors (p>0.005). All disease characteristics including the duration, family history of DM, FBS, type of medication were significant factors (p<0.001). Lifestyles  behaviors including  self-monitoring, healthy diet, physical activity, and adherence were significant factors (p<0.001). Conclusion: The most important potential risk factors for poor control diabetes were dyslipidemia, poor adherence and longer duration of diabetes. Enhancement of education of the patients and their healthcare providers on these factors are great benefit in glycemic control.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in young children that has serious implications for physical growth, cognitive development, and individual productivity. This condition is caused by a range of complex factors, including poor maternal nutrition and environmental conditions affecting quality of nutrition. The first 1,000 days of life represent a critical period for stunting prevention, as children's brain growth and development are particularly rapid during this time. Socialization regarding the importance of balanced nutrition and Family Planning programs is a strategic step to support optimal child growth and prevent stunting. This program begins with obtaining permits and coordinating with the Head of Kemiri Village to identify appropriate targets, as well as involving local neighborhood association in surveying facilities and infrastructure. The initiative aims to raise awareness in Kemiri Village about stunting and its prevention, and to educate the importance of balanced nutrition for supporting optimal child growth. Through socialization and counseling, it is hoped that the community will be able to recognize signs of stunting and take appropriate actions. This aligns with the village’s sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly in achieving the target of a hunger-free village. By reducing the prevalence of stunting, the quality of life for the community can be significantly improved.

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. The national stunting prevalence was recorded at 24.4% in 2021, still far above the maximum threshold of 14% set in the SDGs for 2024. To tackle this problem, the KKN-T Bela Negara Group 8 team of the National Development University "Veteran" East Java in collaboration with UPT Puskesmas Tawangsari carried out a socialization program on stunting prevention in Muteran Hamlet, Kejagan Village, Trowulan District, Mojokerto Regency on August 2, 2024.

Word Health Organization defines a cause of death as an illness, disease or injury that causes or contributes to death. Diabetes mellitus is a major comorbidity and cardiac arrest is the highest cause of death. Cardiovascular disease is more common in men with an average age of 57 years. There are many types of cardiovascular disease, but the most common and well-known are coronary heart disease and stroke. Basic Health (Riskesdas) in 2018 reported that the incidence of heart and blood vessel disease is increasing from year to year. The main factor in heart disease is uncontrolled blood sugar, while the most common macrovascular complication of diabetes mellitus is coronary heart disease. Causative factors The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by the interaction between gene susceptibility factors and environmental exposure as follows Genetics and Environment The occurrence of coronary heart disease is closely related to the presence of disorders affecting the blood vessels called atherosclerosis. This research uses a systematic review based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). with inclusion and exclusioncriteria, the risk of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction was higher with increasing values ​​of lysis time and maximum turbidity.
