Introduction: Febrile seizures are seizure episodes that occur due to an increase in body temperature above 38°C without evidence of central nervous system infection such as meningitis or encephalitis. In Indonesia, the prevalence of febrile seizures is approximately 2–5% among children aged 6 months to 3 years, and around 30% of these cases experience recurrence or recurrent febrile seizures. Therefore, an appropriate nursing care plan is required to manage patients with febrile seizures. Methods: This scientific paper employed a descriptive narrative method to illustrate the provision of nursing care to patients through the nursing process approach. The general objective of this study was to understand and implement nursing care for patients with febrile seizures. Results: The nursing diagnoses identified in patients with febrile seizures were hyperthermia, risk for injury, and knowledge deficit. Nursing interventions included hyperthermia management, safety management, and health education. Conclusion: After two days of nursing implementation, two nursing diagnoses were resolved and one was partially resolved. Discharge planning included monitoring the patient's condition, particularly for seizure signs, maintaining a safe environment, educating the family about injury prevention during seizures, and encouraging family members to continuously supervise the patient.

Dengue fever remains a major global health challenge, particularly in tropical regions, due to the high transmission of Dengue virus by Aedes aegypti and the limited sustainability of current control strategies. Artocarpus odoratissimus, an endemic Bornean plant, contains diverse secondary metabolites with potential pharmacological activities; however, a systematic synthesis of its biomedical relevance to Dengue is still lacking. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the biomedical potential of A. odoratissimus in Dengue prevention and control through a systematic literature review. This study employed a systematic literature review method following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, PubMed, Google Scholar, Garuda, SINTA, and other relevant scientific databases for publications from January 2016 to February 2026. A total of 303 records were identified, and after duplicate removal, title and abstract screening, and full-text eligibility assessment, 23 studies were included for narrative synthesis. The findings revealed that A. odoratissimus contains major bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolics, arylbenzofurans, stilbenoids, and prenylated chalcones, which demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and potential antiviral activities based on in vitro and molecular docking studies. Fruit peel, seeds, and stem bark exhibited the strongest biological evidence, particularly in reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammatory mediators, and potentially interacting with Dengue viral target proteins. Furthermore, several species within the Artocarpus genus showed larvicidal and ovicidal activities against Aedes aegypti, highlighting the potential development of A. odoratissimus as a plant-based biolarvicide candidate.

Typhoid fever during pregnancy can lead to complications such as uteroplacental infection, miscarriage, and vertical transmission, which causes neonatal typhoid. Typhoid fever is found worldwide and is highly prevalent in developing countries, particularly in tropical regions. It is estimated that there are 11–21 million cases per year and approximately 128,000–161,000 deaths per year; the majority of cases occur in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Salmonella typhi is a gram-negative bacterium capable of intracellular survival. Symptoms in typhoid patients vary among different groups. While pregnant women with typhoid are more likely to exhibit coughing, non-pregnant patients more frequently report nausea/vomiting compared to pregnant patients. The effects of typhoid fever on pregnancy result from prolonged high fever and poor general health, which can lead to miscarriage, preterm labor, and intrauterine fetal death, especially if the infection occurs during the first or second trimester. Morbidity and mortality rates may be higher in pregnant women. Pregnancy itself does not affect the course of the disease. Prevention of typhoid fever involves adopting a clean and healthy lifestyle, as well as receiving the typhoid vaccine. Two effective vaccines are available for typhoid fever. The live-attenuated oral vaccine (Ty21a) requires four doses, administered 48 hours apart, without concurrent use of antibiotics or antimicrobial medications. Due to reduced gastrointestinal motility in early pregnancy and frequent nausea and vomiting associated with symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux requiring acid-reducing therapy, we do not recommend the Ty21a oral vaccine for pregnant patients.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in densely populated areas. Control efforts require accurate data and spatial analysis to understand disease distribution patterns. Geographic Information System (GIS) is an effective tool for visualizing case distribution and supporting surveillance and planning of control programs at the primary healthcare level. This study aims to describe the spatial distribution of Dengue cases based on medical record data and produce a geographic distribution map to support Dengue control efforts at the Puskesmas level. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with secondary data from medical records at Karangsari Health Center. The sample consisted of 255 DHF patients in 2025, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were processed through editing, geocoding patient addresses, and spatial analysis using QGIS software.The results showed 255 Dengue  cases in 2025 with fluctuating monthly trends, peaking in April and lowest in December. Case distribution was uneven and tended to cluster. High-risk areas accounted for 15.7%–21.2%, moderate-risk areas 9.8%–15.7%, and low-risk areas 7.1%–9.8%. Megu Cilik Village had the highest proportion of cases, while other villages were categorized as moderate and low risk. This pattern indicates that Dengue incidence is influenced by environmental conditions, vector density, host factors, rainfall, and Aedes aegypti presence. GIS provides clearer spatial visualization, helping identify high-risk areas and supporting targeted public health interventions.

Febrile seizures are seizure episodes that occur in association with an elevation in body temperature (rectal temperature >38°C) caused by an extracranial process. Febrile seizures are classified into two types: simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizures. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that in 2019 there were 18.3 million cases of febrile seizures worldwide, with approximately 154,000 resulting in death. This case report discusses a patient, An YZ, a 1 year and 5-month-old female, who was brought to the emergency department of Cut Meutia Hospital with a chief complaint of seizures. The seizures began two days prior to hospital admission, characterized by generalized tonic stiffening and clonic movements involving the entire body. Each episode lasted approximately 5 minutes. The seizures occurred twice, initially at 7:00 PM and subsequently at 9:00 PM. The patient was diagnosed with complex febrile seizures associated with morbilli and very mild microcytic hypochromic anemia due to iron deficiency anemia. Pharmacological management included cefotaxime, ranitidine, ondansetron, paracetamol, ambroxol, cetirizine, diazepam (Stesolid), and vitamin D. After three days of hospitalization, the patient showed clinical improvement and was discharged.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. According to the WHO, 40% of the world's population is at risk of dengue fever, with a significant increase in cases in the last two decades, especially in 2019. After declining during the Covid-19 pandemic, cases surged again in 2023, including in previously unaffected areas. In Indonesia, Ministry of Health data shows an increasing trend in cases, with 186,324 cases and 1,120 deaths by week 35 of 2024. Environmental factors and community behavior influence the spread of dengue-causing mosquitoes. This study aims to determine the relationship between these factors and the incidence of dengue fever in Central Lampung Regency. This study aims to determine the relationship between environmental factors and community behavior with the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Central Lampung Regency. This study is an observational analytical study using a case control study design. The research instruments used were questionnaires and observation sheets. The data analysis technique used the chi square test. From the results of the study it is known that out of 9 variables, 4 variables have a relationship with the incidence of DHF, namely the availability of container covers (p value = 0.023 <0.05), frequency of container drainage (p value = 0.001 <0.05), the presence of larvae in containers (p value = 0.006 <0.05), and respondent attitudes (p value = 0.023 <0.05). Based on research in Central Lampung Regency, of the nine variables examined, four were shown to be associated with the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Therefore, it is crucial to raise public awareness and routinely implement Dengue Prevention (PSN) or 3M, both independently and collectively. Dengue prevention needs to be carried out not only through sanctions (punishment), but also through a promotive and preventive approach involving individuals, communities, environmental policies, and supervision from relevant agencies. These efforts must be comprehensive and sustainable, involving all levels of society.

Dengue fever is a disease commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. This disease can cause severe symptoms, such as very high fever, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, and leukopenia (decrease in white blood cells). This infectious disease, known as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), is a viral infection transmitted by the Aedes Aegyppti mosquito. This study aims to classify dengue-prone areas using the K-Means Algorithm, and to classify the factors that cause dengue in Purwodadi District, Grobogan Regency. The clustering results using the K-Means algorithm with Rapidminer tool from 266 data produced 3 clusters: cluster 0 (blue) with 138 patients dominated by Kuripan, Purwodadi, Ngambak villages, cluster 1 (green) with 31 patients in Ngraji, Nambuhan, Cingkrong villages, and cluster 2 (orange) with 97 patients in Danyang, Kalongan, Pulorejo villages. This study is expected to provide additional information for stakeholders in controlling dengue cases and increase awareness of the importance of environmental cleanliness as a preventive measure.

Lingkungan rumah yang memiliki tempat penampungan air tanpa pengelolaan yang baik berpotensi menjadi lokasi perkembangbiakan nyamuk vektor Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD). Salah satu upaya pencegahan yang dapat dilakukan adalah pemberantasan sarang nyamuk (PSN) melalui penerapan perilaku 3M serta penggunaan larvasida abate pada wadah air yang sulit untuk dikuras. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan pelaksanaan Program GEMA (Gerakan Bersama Hapus Jentik) yang mengintegrasikan edukasi 3M dan pemberian abate sebagai langkah pengendalian jentik nyamuk di Desa Sambung. Program dilaksanakan pada tanggal 19–21 Januari dengan metode edukatif partisipatif melalui kunjungan rumah ke rumah. Tahapan kegiatan meliputi pemeriksaan keberadaan jentik, pemberian abate pada tempat penampungan air tertentu, serta edukasi mengenai penggunaan abate dan penerapan 3M. Evaluasi observasional dilakukan pada 22 Januari. Kegiatan ini menjangkau 1.360 rumah di empat dusun. Hasil pemeriksaan awal menunjukkan lebih dari separuh rumah masih ditemukan jentik nyamuk. Setelah intervensi, persentase rumah yang berpotensi terdapat jentik mengalami penurunan yang signifikan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Program GEMA efektif dalam menekan potensi keberadaan jentik nyamuk serta meningkatkan keterlibatan masyarakat dalam upaya pencegahan DBD.

Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi. Transmission can occur through air or food contaminated with the urine and feces of typhoid sufferers, such as air used for drinking, cooking, and washing food. Symptoms of typhoid fever include a prolonged high fever, defined as an elevated body temperature of >37.5°C. Other symptoms can include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, and headache. This study aimed to treat children with typhoid fever. The method used was a case study of a five-year-old child with typhoid fever who was hospitalized for four days. The results showed that the child had fever, obesity, and decreased appetite. The child's problem was hypothermia, while cooling interventions were used to manage hypothermia, and one of the cooling procedures performed was the application of aloe vera compresses. The evaluation results showed that the hyperthermia resolved after four days of hospitalization. Based on this study, it is hoped that patients and their families can independently apply aloe vera compresses to treat hypothermia in children.

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a serious disease transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito and is still a public health problem. The high incidence of dengue fever is often caused by a lack of knowledge, attitudes, and actions of the community in carrying out appropriate prevention efforts. The goal is to identify the picture of community behavior in dengue prevention, including aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and actions. Method: was a quantitative descriptive with 100 respondents selected by random sampling in East Sidomulyo Village, Marpoyan Damai. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed univariately. Results: The variables of community behavior were obtained in the knowledge of most of the people who were low as many as 52 respondents (52%), most of the people's attitudes were obtained negative attitudes as many as 77 respondents (77%), the actions of the community mostly had less actions with the number of 59 respondents (59%), and the behavior of the community was relatively low. Conclusions and Suggestions: This study shows that the majority of the people of East Sidomulyo Village have lacking knowledge, attitudes, and actions in the prevention of dengue. Low preventive behavior is caused by a lack of knowledge and concern. Intensive, community based education is needed to raise awareness and preventive measures in an ongoing manner.

Demam berdarah dengue merupakan tantangan kesehatan masyarakat yang terus berulang di wilayah tropis, termasuk Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memprediksi jumlah kasus tahunan dengan memanfaatkan lima algoritma pembelajaran mesin, yaitu Regresi Linier, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), dan Neural Network. Data historis tahun 2017–2024 diolah menggunakan teknik windowing deret waktu untuk menghasilkan fitur lag yang sesuai bagi pembelajaran terawasi. Evaluasi kinerja dilakukan melalui metrik Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), serta koefisien determinasi (R²). Model Decision Tree menunjukkan performa paling unggul pada sebagian besar indikator. Prediksi untuk tahun 2025 mengindikasikan adanya peningkatan moderat jumlah kasus. Namun, rendahnya nilai R² pada seluruh model mengisyaratkan perlunya pendekatan multivariat yang lebih kompleks dengan mempertimbangkan faktor iklim, lingkungan, dan demografi. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya kualitas data dan pemilihan fitur yang tepat dalam peramalan epidemiologis guna mendukung perencanaan kesehatan yang lebih efektif.

This community service activity aimed to control the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are the main vector of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), through the making and utilization of ovitraps in Sawa Village, Sawa District, North Konawe Regency. The methods applied in this program included field observation and door-to-door socialization to the community regarding the function, benefits, and procedure of making ovitraps. The socialization was designed to provide practical knowledge and raise awareness among residents about the importance of preventing mosquito breeding as part of DHF control efforts. A total of 30 households were involved as direct participants in this activity, and 30 ovitrap units were successfully made and distributed evenly to each household. The results showed that the community responded enthusiastically and expressed interest in adopting the ovitraps as a preventive measure. In addition, participants reported gaining new understanding about their active role in maintaining environmental health and reducing the risk of DHF transmission. The involvement of the community not only ensured that the ovitraps were effectively utilized, but also encouraged sustainable behavior in mosquito control practices. Overall, this program demonstrated that simple, low-cost, and community-based interventions such as ovitraps, combined with education and awareness campaigns, can contribute significantly to reducing the breeding sites of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and lowering the potential spread of DHF in endemic areas.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. In 2023, 48 cases of DHF were reported in the Kebun Lada Public Health Center area, reflecting a high incidence rate and limited medical resources in managing the cases. This situation emphasizes the need for an alternative solution that can support a fast and accurate diagnostic process. This study aims to develop an expert system for diagnosing DHF using the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) method. CBR functions by comparing the symptoms experienced by patients with previous cases stored in the knowledge base, thereby producing relevant diagnostic recommendations. The proposed system is implemented as a web-based application using PHP as the programming language and MySQL as the database management system. The expected outcomes of this study are to assist medical personnel in reducing diagnostic time, improving the accuracy of decision-making, and increasing the effectiveness of health services in primary healthcare facilities. In addition, the system is designed to provide wider access for the community to recognize early symptoms of DHF, which can contribute to preventive actions and reduce the risk of severe complications. Thus, the developed expert system has the potential to become a practical solution to overcome the shortage of medical personnel and enhance public health awareness.

Fever in children, if not properly managed, can lead to several negative effects such as excessive fluid loss through evaporation, dehydration, seizures, decreased consciousness, and even death if left untreated. Non-pharmacological interventions to reduce fever include water tepid sponge therapy and cool patch therapy. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest three-group approach. Respondents were divided into three groups: water tepid sponge, cool patch, and control. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.000 in the Water Tepid Sponge group, 0.000 in the Cool Patch group, and 0.002 in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the pre-test body temperature of the Water Tepid Sponge group and the control group (p = 0.063 > 0.05), while a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.000 < 0.05). For the Cool Patch group, there was no significant difference in the pre-test compared to the control (p = 0.672), but a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.001). The Mann-Whitney test comparing the pre-test and post-test temperature differences between the Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch groups showed a significance value of 0.000. The mean rank for temperature reduction in the Water Tepid Sponge group was 35,27, while in the Cool Patch group it was 17,73. Both Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch therapies have an effect on reducing fever in pediatric patients in the Parkit Ward of QIM Hospital Batang. Water Tepid Sponge therapy is more effective than Cool Patch therapy in reducing fever.

Background: According to the 2020 Ministry of Health Profile, fever accounts for 7.3% of infant deaths in Indonesia. Fever is a common complaint in children, with 20–40% of parents reporting their child's illness each year. Approximately 19–30% of patients visiting doctors are children, and fever is one of the primary complaints. If not treated promptly, fever can lead to complications such as seizures and decreased consciousness. Fever management can be done through pharmacological (antipyretic, NSAID, diazepam) or non-pharmacological measures, one of which is by applying compresses. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of dry warm compresses and water tepid sponge compresses on reducing body temperature in pediatric patients at Pati Islamic Hospital. Method: Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental two-group pre–post test design using a purposive sampling technique. Results: The application of water tepid sponge compresses showed a significant decrease in temperature with an average difference of 1.2°C, while dry warm compresses only reduced the temperature by a difference of 0.2°C. Conclusion: Water tepid sponge compresses are more effective than dry warm compresses in reducing body temperature in children with fever at Pati Islamic Hospital.
