Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin inflammation in the form of chronic, recidive dermatitis, accompanied by itching, and hitting certain parts of the body, especially on the face in the baby (infantile phase) and the flexible part of the extremities (in the child phase). Atopic dermatitis often occurs in infants and children, about 50% will disappear in adolescence, but sometimes it can also persist, or even only begin to appear in adulthood. The prevalence of AD is increasing and the increase in the incidence of AD is related to a history of atopy. The etiology of AD is not known with certainty, but it is known to be caused by the interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in AD. Clinically, itching and skin disorders are found according to specific morphology and distribution. Risk factors that are proven to cause and induce AD are skin barrier disorders due to FLG mutations, environmental changes, and diet. FLG mutations can damage the skin barrier function with impaired pH and maintenance of skin hydration. It is known that the causes of multifactor AD and AD cannot be cured, however, only controlled. Therefore, preventive efforts are important, where doctors need to communicate with patients and their families, provide information and education on diseases, and how to treat and prevent recurrences. Because until now there is no ideal treatment regimen for AD patients, so thorough and appropriate management is needed, especially in reducing signs and symptoms, healing and preventing recurrences.    

Background: Visceral fat is fat that is stored in the adipose tissue of the abdominal region. The accumulation of high amounts of visceral fat causes central obesity and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome which is a risk for degenerative diseases. Banten Province shows that the prevalence of obesity in 2018 is 22.5% and in 2020 it is 25.2%. Risk factors that cause obesity, especially in the workplace, are lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, and unhealthy lifestyles. Objective: to determine the relationship between glycemic load, physical activity, and work stress with visceral fat. Methods: The research was carried out in the Office of Manpower and Transmigration of Banten Province, from August 2021 to August 2022. This type of research is quantitative research which is an analytic survey using a cross-sectional research design with a research sample of 76 respondents. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test. Results: There was a relationship between glycemic load and visceral fat (p=0.000), there was a relationship between physical activity and visceral fat (p=0.002), and there was no relationship between work stress and visceral fat (p=0.137). This is because respondents still consume sufficient carbohydrate food on weekdays and holidays and respondents tend to do less physical activity which causes fat accumulation in the body.Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between glycemic load and physical activity to the formation of visceral fat.

In 2013, 4.6 million babies died worldwide before their first birthday, with 50% dying on the first day and nearly 75% within the first week. Most stillbirths and premature newborn deaths are attributable to birth complications that are preventable. The maternal profile in neonatal mortality cases plays an important role in understanding the factors that contribute to this high mortality rate. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the maternal profile of neonatal death cases at Ciawi Hospital, which were selected according to the criteria by total sampling based on medical record data from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020. The variables utilized in this study include maternal factors such as gestational age, type of delivery, twin pregnancy, presentation of pregnancy, medical condition of the mother, and obstetric problems. The data is presented in a descriptive format. Among the 58 respondents, the average age was 30.26 years, with a higher prevalence of preterm births (55.2%). The most frequently encountered medical condition in the maternal profile of neonatal deaths at Ciawi General Hospital is chronic hypertension. Conversely, the most common obstetric problems are premature rupture of membranes and oligohydramnios. Efforts to address medical issues in mothers can contribute to the reduction of neonatal mortality cases.

Background: The burden of malnutrition in Indonesia is quite large, with more than a quarter of the adolescent population aged 16-18 years, 27 percent experiencing stunting and 8 percent being underweight, the prevalence of anemia in young women aged 13-18 years is 22.7 percent. The highest prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) in women of childbearing age is experienced by adolescents aged 15-19 years, reaching 36.3%. Nutritional problems in adolescents have serious implications for the health of young people, affecting the well-being of current and future generations, as well as the economy and health of countries. In particular, the nutritional status of adolescent girls is closely related to pregnancy outcomes and the health and survival of mothers and children. Objective: To identify the diversity of food consumption and nutritional status of young women who live in boarding houses Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design that aims to identify the diversity of food consumption and nutritional status of female adolescents living in boarding houses. The sample in this study were young women who had just entered higher education at the age of 18-19 years, who lived in boarding houses, totaling 49 people. The diversity of food consumption was identified using the Semi Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Nutritional status was assessed based on body mass index and upper arm circumference. Results: The diversity of food consumption of respondents was low at 46.9%, the nutritional status based on BMI was mostly in the normal category, namely 71.42%, the nutritional status based on the LiLA category was lacking, namely 46.93%, there was no relationship between BMI and diversity in food consumption (P Value 0.13, but there is a significant relationship between the diversity of food consumption and LiLA (P Value 0.02). Conclusion: Diversity in food consumption is low and there are nutritional problems in young women living in boarding houses.

Indonesia is a country with a stunting prevalence that can still be categorized as high with a prevalence rate of 24.4%. Various efforts have been made by the government to be able to overcome the stunting problem that occurs through various policies and regulations as well as through national strategies and interventions. This paper aims to explain the national policies and regulations and strategies used on tackling stunting in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a literature study method where the technique is through library data collection, reading and taking notes, and managing research materials. Indonesia already has a number of national policies and strategies on stunting that are realized in the form of interventions both specific and sensitive. Specific interventions are carried out by the Health sector by focusing on priority goals and important goals, while sensitive interventions are carried out by sectors outside Health where they are carried out to increase access to nutritious food; increase awareness, commitment, and nutrition parenting practices of mothers and children; improve access and quality of nutritional and health services; and improve the provision of clean water and sanitation facilities. Policies and regulations that exist at the central level, must also be followed by follow-up in the regions to the village level and involve not only the health sector but also other related sectors.

Worm infection is a health problem that often occurs throughout the world, especially in Indonesia with a high prevalence. One of the most common helminthic infections in Indonesia is the Soil Transmitted Helminths worm. Children are an age group that is susceptible to this infection. Worm infections can have serious consequences if not treated with deworming medication and a clean and healthy lifestyle for the person. This community service is carried out with the aim of conducting counseling about environmental health, especially in helminthiasis at the Alak Final Disposal Site, Kupang City. This activity conducts counseling and examination of the community on how to deal with helminthiasis in children. Subjects as many as 30 children. The worm examination was carried out using the direct slide method and then observed under a microscope with a magnification of 10x-40x. Based on the results of the examination found Ascaris lumbricoides eggs by 10%. So based on the results of this service it shows that there is a prevalence of worm infection in the Alak Final Disposal Site. Therefore, it is suggested to parents and especially children to further improve the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle (PHBS) to avoid worm infection.

Rare diseases present a significant challenge in diagnosis due to their low prevalence and the limited awareness among healthcare professionals. The emergence of genomic technologies, particularly Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), has revolutionized the diagnosis of rare diseases by enabling the identification of genetic variations associated with these conditions. This technology offers improved accuracy and speed compared to traditional clinical diagnostic methods, which are often time-consuming and insufficient for rare genetic conditions. This study explores the application of genomic technology in identifying rare diseases in Indonesia, highlighting its effectiveness, accuracy, and the challenges involved in its implementation. The research employed genomic testing techniques, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), to identify genetic mutations associated with rare diseases in patients. The findings of the study demonstrate that genomic technology significantly reduces the time required for diagnosis, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the genetic conditions. Diseases such as Diphyllobothriasis and Sparganosis, which are rarely diagnosed through traditional clinical methods, were successfully identified using genomic technologies. However, challenges persist in the implementation of genomic technology in Indonesia, including limited infrastructure, high costs, and a lack of specialized training for healthcare professionals. Despite these barriers, the findings underscore the potential of genomic technologies to improve the diagnosis and management of rare diseases in Indonesia. The study concludes by recommending further investments in infrastructure, the training of healthcare professionals, and the development of supportive policies to facilitate the widespread adoption of genomic technologies in the healthcare system, particularly for the diagnosis of rare diseases.

One of the main causes of mortality in children, as well as an important factor leading to malnutrition is Diarrhea. The prevalence of diarrhea among the 5-14 age group ranks highest after the toddler and elderly age groups. In 2018, the number of diarrhea cases among all age groups served by healthcare facilities increased by 229,734 cases from the previous year of 2017. Children who have persistent diarrhea may experience subpar results in terms of their growth and development.. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the connection between handwashing practices and dietary habits and the prevalence of diarrhea in school-aged children.. The research method used is a Literature Review, by searching for research articles sourced from the electronic database Google Scholar using keywords such as diarrhea, handwashing habits, food consumption, and students. From the analysis of 5 articles, it was found that the habit of washing hands with soap and maintaining nail hygiene can prevent the occurrence of diarrhea in children. A good food consumption pattern also has a lower risk of experiencing diarrhea. Age differences in children are also related to the incidence of diarrhea, where younger children are more susceptible to experiencing diarrhea.

One of the efforts to detect deviations in child development is by early detection, so that prevention, stimulation, healing and recovery efforts can be given correctly according to the indications. Detection for growth and development is an effort that needs to be supported, because it is one way to prepare quality future generations. Based on a preliminary survey conducted on mothers who had toddlers visiting Posyandu in Randusari village, it was found that mothers did not understand developmental stimulation in toddlers in order to detect early developmental delays.The prevalence of toddlers experiencing the greatest stunting at the beginning of 2022 in Tegal Regency is in Pagerbarang District (40%) exceeding the target set by the government which is no more than 20%. The technique of implementing community service is carried out by providing education on toddler development using KPSP.The results of the implementation of community service which was attended by 60 participants, namely education related to stimulation of development with KPSP, that most mothers of toddlers have understood the meaning of development, stages of development according to the age of their children, and stimulation of development that can be carried out by mothers and families. With the enthusiasm of the participants, local area stakeholders hope that similar activities can be carried out continuously in the working area of ​​the Pagerbarang Health Center. The output of the service also results in the publication of scientific articles related to the stimulation of growth and development of toddlers.

ABSTRACT. Sectio Caesarea (SC) is a common and widely performed operation on pregnant women and its prevalence is increasing every year. The incidence of cesarean section in Indonesia is around 22.8% of all deliveries. Spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is very beneficial because of the simplicity of the technique, fast onset, reduced systemic toxicity but has the risk of complications that often occur after anesthesia and surgery are pain, nausea and vomiting. Objective: To analyze the comparison of the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PON-V) between fasting and non-fasting in patients with caesarean section who underwent regional anesthesia. Research Methods: Experimental research with clinical trials and including quantitative research. It will be held in March 2021 at IBS RSUD Caruban, Madiun Regency. The sampling technique was probability sampling using consecutive sampling where the sample consisted of 30 SC surgery patients who were divided into two groups, namely 15 fasting and non-fasting patients with spinal anesthesia. Data analysis using Paired Sample T Test with SPSS 22.00 for windows. Result : Post operative nausea and vomiting occurred in both groups . The difference in the incidence of PON-V in both fasting and non-fasting groups in cesarean section patients, the T test (independent T Test) showed a p value of 0.380 (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in the comparison of PON-V between fasting and non-fasting patients in sectio cesarean surgery patients at Caruban Hospital, Madiun Regency in 2021.  

Background: Mental health is a picture of positive characteristics with harmony and psychological balance that reflects the maturity of his personality. Meanwhile, mental disorders are behavioral patterns that clinically occur in individuals related to distress or disability or are accompanied by a significantly increased risk of death, illness, disability, or loss of independence. According to WHO (World Health Organization) the prevalence of mental disorders in the world is around 450 million people. The high rate of recurrence in people with mental disorders requires us to be more active in knowing the causes. The purpose of this study is to find out an in-depth description of the biological causal factors of a person experiencing mental disorders. This research method uses descriptive qualitative research. Samples were taken randomly with the criteria of someone with a Mental Disorder (ODGJ).

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition in which the kidneys have experienced functional or structural damage or disturbances. The condition of the kidney that has decreased function is unable to dispose of waste products through urination which can result in disruption of endocrine, fluid, electrolyte, metabolic and acid-base functions, one of the consequences of which is the occurrence of edema. The prevalence of kidney failure in Central Java reached 0.42% with a total of 96,794 sufferers. The impact of edema that is not treated will result in respiratory, cardiovascular systems, neurological systems. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of a combination of ankle pump exercise and 30° foot elevation on edema in CKD patients at the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang. Method: This research is a quantitative study using a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design approach. The sample is 12 respondents with purposive sampling technique. Results: The results of this study were mostly male with a total of 10 with a percentage of 83.3% with an average age of 44.50. the results of the bivariate analysis with the Marginal Homogeneity Test obtained a significant value of p = 0.001 (<0.05). Conclusion: There is an effect of a combination of ankle pump exercise and 30° foot elevation on foot edema in CKD patients.  

Indonesia is one of the countries with a high stunting rate. In Indonesia, the strategy to accelerate the reduction of stunting is carried out by involving various figures from the government, academia, the private sector, the community, philanthropy and the mass media, and is coordinated by the Vice President. The aim of this research is to find out the implementation strategy for reducing stunting in Kosambironyok Village, Anyar District, Serang Regency in 2022. The type of research used is a qualitative method. The data sources used in this study are primary and secondary data. The informants who played a role in this study consisted of 2 groups, namely the group of informants and the group of key informants. The results of this study indicate that health workers at the Puskesmas, District officials and village officials understand their respective roles in working together to accelerate the reduction of stunting. It is hoped that all health workers will take an active role with the government in implementing the program to reduce stunting rates in toddlers. The stunting reduction program can be carried out by conducting socialization regarding the process of preventing stunting from an early age and how to overcome it.
