hls: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called hls.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Patients; Healthcare; Group; Care; Intervention; Knowledge; Control; Education; Data; Children; Nursing; Women; Factors; Participants; Test; Family; Respondents; Indonesia; Self; Mothers; Diabetes; Nurses; Treatment; Support; Risk; Covid-19; Students; Hospital; Resource; Behavior; Disease; Patient; Community; Use; Levels; Adolescents; Age; Blood; Results; Level; Analysis; Review; People; Cancer; Services; Weight; Post; Breastfeeding; Food; India; Non; System; Satisfaction; Activity; Pressure; Water; Facilities; Day; Extract; Exposure; Drug; Cpr; Technique; Loss; Isolates; Oral; Travel

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• A retrospective analysis of emergency department usage in rural and semi-urban indigenous Guatemalan populations by Svenson, Emma; Sheth, Amber ; Schmidt, Jessica; Tun, Rafael; Svenson, James E. (2022) - Emergency care also represents an entry point for access to additional special- ized care, providing crucial preventive health services at a population level.2–4 In nations where a significant portion of peo- ple are uninsured or underinsured, and lack access to primary care providers, emer- gency departments are even becoming point of care for non-urgent medical conditions.5,6 A lack of emergency care infrastructure is thus linked to poorer health outcomes, and ensuring access to emergency medical care is being prioritized as a mechanism to improve overall population health on a global scale.1,3,4,7 While emergency medical systems are often robust in high-income countries, sig- nificant obstacles exist to developing, deliv- ering and accessing emergency care in low- and middle-income countries.8,9 Lack of transportation to medical facilities, afford- ability of services, poor facility infrastruc- ture, decreased availability of medical sup- plies and medications, and a paucity of skilled emergency providers and emergency training programs are all frequently cited barriers to providing effective acute care in these settings.2,10–15 Yet Lower- and Middle- Income Countries (LMIC) frequently shoul- der a significant burden of critical acute ill- ness.13 For example, recent estimates sug- gest that ninety percent of trauma related deaths occur in LMIC.13,16 Identifying barriers for out of hospital emergency care in low and low-middle income countries: a sys- tematic review.

• Sex differences in long-term outcomes of patients with percutaneous coronary intervention: the Armenian experience by Sahakyan, Yeva; Thompson, Michael E.; Abrahamyan, Lusine (2013) - A study that evaluated the effectiveness of drug-eluting stents in acute coronary syndrome patients with dia- betes reported a higher prevalence of insulin- dependent diabetes among women compared to men.22 The sex differences in our study may also be explained by unequal access to or uti- lization of health care services in Armenia. For example, a recent observational study conducted by Duvernoy et al. found that women were more obese (47.9 vs 43.1%) and more often had diabetes mellitus (38.5 vs 29.2%) and hypertension (82.5 vs 71.0%), and that men were more likely to smoke (27.3 vs 21.7%).2 In the current analysis, the unadjusted event-free survival at the end of follow-up was Article Table 2.

• The effect of mindful eating on dietary behaviour and fasting blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by Andriani, Rizki; Kamila, Aghnia; Putri, Roofi Asma; Fadhillah, Arif; Helmi, Sabrina; Septiani, Delia (2024) - This result can be seen in a study of 304 adult respondents who were given Mindful Eating exercises, where respondents showed better self-control in eating behavior and had the willingness to arrange regular eating patterns.17 Attention to sensations, thoughts, and feelings during eating activ- ities related to regulation, emotions, and self-acceptance can reduce problematic eating behaviors so that T2DM patients are able to make their own decisions about what, when, and how much food to con- sume.18–20 Mindful eating exercises indirectly make it easier for diabet- ic patients to achieve portion adjustments based on adequacy and sat- isfaction that arise during meals and have an impact on daily calorie intake so that it can potentially affect glycemic control in DM clients. During these visits, which lasted 20-30 minutes, researchers taught mindful eating exercises.

• The impact of the Le-Diabet application on self-efficacy and blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus patients by Erlina, Lina; Hastuti, Widi (2024) - The results of this study are in line with Marbun et al. (2012), who state that smartphone applica- tions can influence self-efficacy in diabetes patients so that appli- cations can facilitate the process of self-management and treatment adherence and increase blood glucose control in diabetes patients.23 Self-efficacy has a positive relationship with the self- care of diabetes patients, and self-care is needed to maximize dia- betes self-management.13 Self-efficacy is a person’s belief in their ability to organize and carry out actions that support their health, which is very necessary for diabetes patients to increase their inde- pendence in managing their disease.24 Blood glucose examination is the main indicator in diabetes management. This shows that the Le-Diabet application can be used as a diabetes education medium to facilitate independent diabetes man- agement so that respondents’ blood glucose control becomes bet- ter.

• The effectiveness of the family-centered empowerment model towards the quality of life of older adults with hypertension by Luthfa, Iskim; Yusuf, Ah; Fitryasari, Rizki; Khasanah, Nopi Nur (2024) - The family empower- ment model has an important role in improving the quality of life of older adult patients with hypertension by considering their needs, improving their hypertension management skills, and improving their ability to do independent care to minimize their dependency on hospital care.17 Based on previous research, family empowerment can be con- ducted through four stages: perceiving the threats, self-efficacy, self-confidence, and evaluation.18 Previous research conducted in Iran showed that a family-centered empowerment model could increase self-efficacy and reduce stress among coronary syndrome patients.19 Family-centered empowerment is important in nursing care because of its innovative approach toward reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationships between older adults, families, and nurses.20,21 The significant relationship between family support and the health status of older adults shows the crucial role of fam- ily empowerment in controlling and preventing diseases in older adults.22,23 Based on this background information, the researchers examined the effect of the family-centered empowerment model on the quality of life of older adult patients with hypertension. Sample size and sampling technique The population in this study were older adult patients with hypertension who received treatment at the Bangetayu Health Centre, Central Java Province, Indonesia, in 2022, totaling 11,855 patients.

• Alternative treatment for schizophrenia with a local wisdom approach in the Tidung tribe community of Tarakan City: a descriptive qualitative study by Darni, Darni; Sulidah, Sulidah; Tukan, Ramdya Akbar; Martawinarti, Rts Netisa; Khadijah, Siti; Sari, Putri Irwanti (2025) - Recent data from the Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) indicates a notable increase in schizophrenia cases, highlighting the significance of traditional treatment methods within the Tidung community, where local wis- dom informs their healthcare approaches.12 In the past three years, there has been a continuous increase in the number of people who have been cured after receiving traditional treatments by the Tidung.13 The study examines the role of 23 traditional healers from var- ious Indonesian tribes, particularly the Tidung tribe, in treating schizophrenia, finding that ten Tidung healers have successfully cured patients without formal medical intervention.10,14 While some schizophrenia patients who received traditional treatment improved, others who sought medical care remained unhealed, indicating a complex interplay between community attitudes toward mental health and traditional practices.15-17 The research highlights local wisdom in traditional treatments, including herbal medicine, spiritual therapy, and prayer, which can alleviate symp- toms and reduce the stigma surrounding schizophrenia. Traditional medicine plays a crucial role in treating mental health issues, with over 30% of patients in rural areas opting for traditional treatments, especially in regions with limited access to modern healthcare.2 Reports indi- cate that approximately 25% of families with schizophrenia mem- bers seek traditional healing methods, such as consulting shamans and employing herbal remedies.3 In developing countries like Indonesia, patients with mental disorders often combine traditional and alternative therapies, believing their conditions may stem from spiritual causes.2,4,5 While previous studies explored treatments involving shamans, this study focuses on the ruqyah spiritual method.6 Additionally, the treatment landscape varies significantly, with some patients receiving alternative therapies like traditional Chinese medicine, particularly for refractory schizophrenia cases.7 The previous research highlights the differences and similari- ties between Abraham Maslow’s and John Nash’s theories in rela- tion to mental health interventions, revealing significant discrep- ancies between the theoretical frameworks and empirical findings.

• Cost of treatment as a barrier to access and continuity of healthcare for patients with mental ill-health in Lagos, Nigeria by Olugbile, Olufemi B.; Coker, Ayodele O.; Zachariah, Mathew P. (2013) - Mental health disorders, espe- cially the severe forms, are regarded as prob- lems for the society.11,15 Studies focusing on the issue of cost and access to mental health care were mostly car- ried out in the developed countries of the world. Local studies have shown that doctors at primary care levels show little interest or apti- tude for diagnosing mental disorder or carry- ing out interventions.4,8-11 Other identified fac- tors preventing access to mental health care by patients in LAMICs include cultural perception about the nature and origin of mental disorder, social stigma attached to mental illness and the logistics of travelling long distances to the few general hospitals with psychiatric facili- ties or specialist psychiatric hospitals.1,4,6,8,9 However, the most reported important barri- er to mental health care is finance.1,4,6,8,9 In a country such as Nigeria and many other sub- Saharan countries, evidence shows that about 45% to 60% of the population lives below the poverty line.12 Therefore, it stands to reason that if individuals suffering from mental disor- ders in LAMICs cannot relatively afford quality mental health care, it is expected that govern- ments from these countries should provide free mental health care services or subsidize the cost of mental health care.

• Why measure the retention of health workers within borders? Lessons learned from the ETATMBA program in measuring health workforce retention in Malawi and Tanzania by Mdegela, Mselenge; Mvula, Chimwemwe Joe; Vermand, Ndemetria; Madaj, Barbara; O’Hare, Joseph Paul (2022) - The WHO also proposes the numerator and denominator for measuring these indicators, suggests the data sources required, and the reporting frequency.15 However, these parameters are not in every- day use in most countries, in part due to the lack of awareness on these indicators and poor HRH monitoring practices, especially in low-resource countries.16 Russell et al. describes five parameters for measuring health workforce retention: i) the turnover rate, ii) stability rate, iii) sur- vival probability, iv) median survival years, and v) cox-proportional hazard ratio.17 However, studies that have attempted to measure retention using these parameters choose numerators and denominators differ- ently, making it difficult to compare or syn- thesize the reported parameters.18,19 We describe our experience in measur- ing retention among health workers who took part in the ETATMBA program in Malawi and Tanzania. +44.774.588.9310 E-mail: mselenge.mdegela@outlook.com Key words: Health workers; health workforce; Malawi; retention; Tanzania.

• Evidence from systematic reviews on policy approaches to improving access to medicines by Kuchena, Celestino; Qutieshat, Abubaker (2023) - To fill a research gap in health sys- tem studies and inform policymaking, we synthesized evidence from systematic reviews of how government policies affect low- and middle-income country (LMIC) medicine access. Research on policy and healthcare access should integrate public health and industry because policies do not consider access to medicines.7 A scoping review of medicine access suggests investigating how universal health access regulations interact with med- icine access policies8 because governance and capital affect medicine availability.9 We must study how different policy options have shaped medicine access and determine which ones are most effective.10 Mousavi11 suggests a broad approach to healthcare that considers how policies affect health out- comes and service delivery.

• Effect of aloe vera gel compresses on breast engorgement among postpartum mother by Raihanah, Siti; jasmawati, Jasmawati; Siregar, Nursyahid (2023) - Similarly, Rutiani’s study (2016) reported that out of 26 mothers who underwent cesarean sections at Bandung’s Sariningsih Hospital, 19 reported insufficient breast milk.8 Setiawan’s research (2017) at the Ngrayun Ponorogo Health Center found that 15 out of 40 breast- feeding mothers who visited in January and February 2017 expe- rienced breast engorgement.9 A physiological phenomenon known as a breast milk dam occurs when the breast duct (ductus lact- iferus) becomes partially or completely clogged with breast milk.10 Symptoms include breast pain, tension, edema, fever, and decreased milk output.11 Mastitis and breast abscesses can occur in the majority of breastfeeding mothers who experience a 7% breast milk shortage.12 Furthermore, breast engorgement often influence mothers’ decisions to wean their children early and cease exclu- sive breastfeeding.13 Breast engorgement can develop for various reasons.14 One contributing factor is the rise in prolactin activity, which occurs biologically 48 hours after delivery. Non -co mmerc ial us e o nly primiparous mothers and those who have had cesarean births may face challenges and delays in nursing, putting them at risk for breast engorgement.17 Currently, treatments for breast engorgement include both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological approaches.18 Pharmacological treatments may include the use of serrapeptase medications to reduce breast edema and paracetamol medications to relieve pain.19 These medications have no adverse effects on the mother or the baby and do not impact milk production.20 However, non-pharmacological treatments such as warm or cold compresses and breast care procedures are also recommended, making medica- tion unnecessary in some cases.21 Various methods, including acupuncture, aloe vera, alternating hot and cold compresses, cold compresses, and ultrasound therapy, can be employed to alleviate breast engorgement.22 Aloe vera, a member of the Liliaceae family, has a unique gel that helps prevent skin from drying out and maintains its moisture.21,23 Studies sug- gest that aloe vera’s ability to target harmful agents and injured tis- sue makes it an effective anti-inflammatory.24 Acupuncture, aloe vera, alternating hot and cold compresses, cold compresses, and ultrasound therapy are among the methods to alleviate breast engorgement.21 Traditional breast care methods also incorporate hot or cold compresses combined with massage.

• Multidisciplinary nursing practice in a low-resource setting in Southeast Brazil by Izidório, Bruno Henrique Souza; Avelar, Kátia Eliane Santos; de Souza, Flávia dos Santos Lugão; Dusek, Patricia Maria; Lopes, Agnaldo José (2024) - In this sense, there is a growing demand for the multidisciplinarity of professional nurses who, through qualification, increase their value as MDT members.31 The multi- disciplinary evolution of nursing through specialties also enhances patient care practices.33 Evaluating 84 patients diagnosed with ter- minal cancer, Liu et al.34 recently showed that, compared to routine nursing, an MDT associated with palliative care reduced patients’ psychiatric disorders and improved their QoL. Along the same lines, another recent study showed that the MDT model with nurs- ing leadership for transplant recipients reduced complications, reduced hospital stays, and saved costs.35 Thus, promoting, empha- sizing, and continuing professional training qualifies the work of specialist nurses and enables the development of more humanized care for the patient.30,36 Establishing a teamwork training (TT) pro- gram is a crucial approach, although the fundamentals for TT are well known and its need is obvious in the nursing environment. The majority of nurse specialists (84.3%) were between the ages of 20 and 40, and 31.4 percent worked in family health.

• The effectiveness of kangaroo mother care in monitoring vital signs and preventing stunting risk in low-birth-weight infants by Muliani, Muliani; Lisnawati, Lisnawati; Hadina, Hadina; Sarliana, Sarliana; Lewa, Abd. Farid; Usman, Hastuti (2025) - Discussion Differences in average weight growth and length of LBW with KMC method treatment The results of the analysis showed that the KMC method treat- ment 4 hours/day was effective in increasing the baby’s weight 15gr/day, from the Chi-Quadrat test there was a significant signif- icance with the value of X2hit=6.446>X2tab=3.84 and p=0.011<0.05. The results showed that the variation in mean body temperature and arterial oxygen satura- tion rate between the two groups had a significant difference, the kangaroo care method was effective in improving and stabilizing the vital signs of newborns.11 After three days of KMC treatment, the average weight gain increased by 12.19 grams/day, the KMC method is an appropriate technology for LBW treatment, with skin-to-skin contact.12 The duration of 2 hours of KMC, as measured by vital signs before and after 1 hour and 2 hours, had a greater effect on the baby’s temper- ature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation than the duration of 1 hour, while blood pressure did not change.13,14 Kangaroo care as a simple intervention based on evidence-based practice, can save the life of newborns.

• The essential care required by stroke survivors and families: an ethnography study by Setia Purdani, Kartika; Rungreangkulkij, Somporn (2024) - In this study, healthcare facilities with stroke services were preferred in stroke care, while optimal stroke care consisted of four main components that had to work together: health workers in health facilities, stroke survivors, family as successors of care in community settings, and the availability of health insurance facilities. Therefore, in the mental health survivor movement, as a consequence of psychiatric power, in this situation, a traditional healer is necessary.61 Additionally, seeking and understanding stroke survivors and caregivers rather than considering the health staff’s experience of stroke care could improve home visits for stroke cases.62 One of the ideas for it is optimizing community empowerment by upgrading the skills of the health care staff needed to support health staff duty in the community.

• Self-efficacy in older adults with depression: a qualitative study by Nurhidayati, Tri; Rizki, Atika Alfia; Setyawati, Dewi; Yusuf, Ah; Indarwati, Retno (2024) - Older adults also become ineffective in their daily work and social roles due to their energy or physical limitations.19 In addition, older adults also feel tired when they become older adults in an older adult home. Older adults who live at home with their families have better psychological conditions compared to those who live in aged care homes.21 Similar to the results of previous research, older adults can feel resigned because they can no longer work optimally in aged care homes.11 The feel- ing of surrender or hopelessness in older adults is a form of nega- tive emotion that often occurs due to aging.

• Chronic diseases in Nyeri, Kenya: a study of knowledge and perceptions by Freiberg, Michael A.T.; Onyango, Nelson O.; Ashbaugh, Stephanie J.; Mehta, Khanjan (2016) - Although the most recent data from the World Health Organization show that the majority of deaths in Africa between 2000-2012 were from com- municable disease at 61.7% compared to 28.6% for non-communicable disease and 9.8% from injury, this distribution is quickly changing.1 By 2020, 73% of deaths worldwide are expected to be due to non-communicable disease with 79% of these deaths occurring in developing countries.2-4 Many factors have been attributed to this rise including increased lifespan, mod- ernization, globalization, poverty, and chang- ing lifestyle.4,5 This problem is compounded by the fact that many health care systems are underfunded and ill-prepared to handle the current state of non-communicable disease and the inevitable rise over the coming years will put additional burden on these systems. A deep- er understanding of the knowledge and percep- tions of diabetes, hypertension, and cancer in this region, will guide and focus future educa- tion of both CHWs and community members on non-communicable disease.

• Growth chart: passport to child health care in low-resource settings by Shrivastava, Saurabh R.; Shrivastava, Prateek S.; Ramasamy, Jegadeesh (2014) - It is designed primarily for the longitudinal follow-up of a child, so that changes over time can be inter- preted.5 Growth chart has a unique role in rural and tribal areas where people do not have access to specialists/tertiary care centers/labo- ratory services readily.3,4 Growth charts help in detecting whether a child is receiving ade- quate nutrition required for the basic physio- logical need of growth and development.3,6 Different types of growth charts have been developed and utilized in varied settings for accurate monitoring of growth of children.3,6,7 Apart from growth monitoring, the chart has many potential uses such as a diagnostic tool for identifying high risk children; for planning and designing of policies at the local and cen- tral level based on extent of malnutrition prevalent in an area; as an educational aid to illiterate mothers by encouraging her to partic- ipate actively in growth of her child; for assist- ing health worker to decide the type of inter- vention needed for specific children; and for evaluating the effectiveness of corrective measures / special interventions employed.3,5,6 To conclude, growth chart is a scientifical- ly sound, robust tool for monitoring health, well-being and nutritional status of infants and young children in different settings. The greatest reductions have been achieved in Central and Eastern Europe, however the situ- ation still remains grim in developing nations and in low-resource settings.2 In 2011, an esti- mated 101 million under-five children were underweight worldwide with the highest con- tributions from South Asia (59 million) and sub-Saharan Africa (30 million).2 The physical growth of infants and under- five children has been recognized as an impor- tant parameter to assess health and wellbe- ing.2,3 Multiple interventions – specific (such as use of growth charts, prevention and treat- ment of acute malnutrition/micronutrient defi- ciencies, safeguarding the maternal nutrition- al status, compliance with the infant and young child feeding practices - exclusive breastfeeding for six months followed by com- plementary feeding, etc.) as well as general (such as promotion of good sanitation prac- tices and access to clean drinking water, pro- motion of utilization of healthcare services by community involvement, etc.) have been implemented to counter the problem of under- nutrition.4,5 In low-resource settings, supervision and monitoring of growth of under-five children is of immense significance, as it can aid in early detection of acute malnutrition.

• C-reactive protein as a marker of infection in children with severe acute malnutrition in Khartoum state, Sudan by Kheir, Abdelmoneim E.M.; Gebreel, Balla G. (2017) - Amesty-Valbuena et al. reported a similar finding as they found high CRP levels in children with marasmus.20 The weaker response in the edematous group is not surprising and can be explained by the fact that Children with kwashiorkor, how- ever, differ from those with marasmus in having slower rates of whole-body protein breakdown, which may reduce the avail- ability of endogenous amino acids for CRP synthesis.19 It is interesting that there is one study which found that CRP levels in response to infection are lower in malnour- ished than in well-nourished children.21 Conclusions These results showed that malnourished children are able to synthesize CRP in response to an infectious process and the magnitude of this response is more in those with severe infections. In conclusion malnourished children are able to synthesize C-reactive protein in response to an infectious process and the magnitude of this response is increased in those with severe infections.

• Safety of dispensing prescribed iron formulation in childresistant containers among pharmacies in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional survey by Alruwaili, Nahar; Alomar, Mohammed; Sabei, Ismaeel; Eldali, Abdelmoneim (2013) - The severity of iron poisoning is based on the amount of elemental iron ingested which can be calculated based on elemental iron in the salt. The PPPA defines special packaging as packaging that is designed or constructed to be significantly dif- ficult for children under 5 years of age to open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount of the sub- stance contained therein within a reasonable time and not difficult for normal adults to use properly, but does not mean packaging which all such children cannont open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount within a reasonable time.5 Unit-dose packaging of potent iron sup- plements is expected to reduce the frequency of severe pediatric iron overdos incidents 6 Consumer Product Safety Commission regu- lations require child-resistant packaging for retail packages containing 250 mg or more of elemental iron.7 The use of CRCs yield no reported pediatric deaths in USA from iron poisoning in 2010 in the USA.8 Though exposures to iron and iron-contain- ing products in the developed countries have been slowly dropping during the previous decade and due to significant public health efforts at increasing awareness and improving packaging, iron overdose remains a significant public health threat to young children.

• An integrative literature review on clinical decision-making of novice nurses for disaster management in the Emergency Room by Sari, Rystika Angga; Lestari, Retno; Hayati, Yati Sri (2024) - The keywords used was “novice nurse AND clinical decision making AND ER OR ED” or (“disaster decision making- novice nurse and ER” OR “decision making-novice nurse”) AND (disaster management OR disaster decision making) AND (newly registered nurse). The study explained that they were able to provide timely general clinical assessment and care; however, few of the novice nurses carried out their duties as part of provid- ing supervision, prevention, leadership or psychological care in disasters.48 In contrast to other studies, there were indeed signifi- cant differences between nurses in their understanding of the basic elements of disaster management based on their level of experi- ence.49 Therefore, novice nurses with less than five years of expe- rience have a significant need to learn these components in order to be able to cope with disasters.50 In line with research findings in Indonesia which show that emergency disaster nurses have a mod- erate level of disaster preparedness.51 Previous disaster experience and disaster training or education are positively related to disaster preparedness.

• Predictors of smoking exposure in non-smoking adolescents in Indonesia by Sari, Julfia Aina; Efendi, Ferry; Nimah, Lailatun; Aurizki, Gading Ekapuja; Aditia, Ronal Surya; Pradipta, Rifky Octavia; Abdul-Mumin, Khadizah H. (2024) - Meanwhile, adoles- cents with knowledge of the dangers of secondhand smoke had 2.84 times higher odds of secondhand smoke exposure in public (95% CI=2.15 to 3.75) compared to those without knowledge. Despite these contrasting findings, in general, men have higher odds of getting exposed to secondhand smoke than women.21,27-29 The similarity in the percentage of secondhand smoke exposure at home among both women and men can be attributed to the hesitan- cy of teenagers to confront individuals smoking indoors, making it challenging to evade such exposure.

• Sociodemographic correlates of dietary habits among university students of health sciences in Kosovo by Jerliu, Naim; Kamberi, Haxhi; Mone, Iris; Zekaj, Drilon; Krasniqi, Pranvera; Burazeri, Genc (2024) - One possible explanation suggested by the authors regarding the reporting of a relatively high consumption of fruit and vegetables in their study was the considerable predominance of female respondents,10 who have been shown to be more concerned with their health compared to males.23,24 Hence, our finding on a positive association between male gender and unhealthy dietary habits is compatible with previ- ous studies.23-25 In general, a significant positive correlation has been reported between higher fruit and vegetable consumption and a deeper knowledge and more favourable attitudes toward healthy dietary habits among university students of health sciences.10 All in all, however, students of health sciences have been shown to have suboptimal compliance with healthy dietary habits including night-eating habits, irregular meal times, and especially fast food consumption.25 On another note, a previous study conducted in Kosovo in 2019 including a nationwide sample of about 2,700 adult individ- uals aged 18-69 years has reported that only about 12% of both men and women consumed five or more servings of fruits and veg- etables daily, thereby meeting the minimum daily intake recom- mended by the World Health Organization.26 Age differences aside, this is in line with our findings related to low daily consumption of fruit and vegetables among students.

Shrivastava, Prateek S. Shrivastava, Jegadeesh Ramasamy Department of Community Medicine, Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute, Kancheepuram, India The 2014 outbreak of Ebola disease has uncovered bitter facts about the prevalent health indicators pertaining to people living in low resource settings.1 Although, the enemy – Ebola virus – was not new, public health authorities have failed miserably in all the affected regions (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, and Senegal).1,2 infection control in health care settings, community education, and avoiding contact with reservoir species), have been proposed to interrupt the chain of trans- mission and thus the progression of the dis- ease.3,4,6,7,10 Exhaustive case and contact finding remains the most crucial step in reducing the incidence of Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases, and thus ensuring availability of easily acces- sible diagnostic services in low-resource set- ting remains the major cause of public health concern.11 In fact, the World Health Organization has strictly advocated for all the unaffected nations to designate laboratories and build a team of trained personnel to per- form laboratory activities efficiently.12 These designated laboratories are bio-safety level (BSL)4/BSL3 facilities, in which competent medical staff are employed to safely collect the appropriate specimens from the patients or ensure safe handling of dead bodies or human remains for post-mortem examination.9,13 Keywords: disease; ebola; health; resource; virus

• Fracture of the mandible treatment in a child: a simplified technique by Houben, Christoph H.; Campbell, Lundy; Chiok Stephen Kuol , Chuol (2023) - Introduction Mandibular fractures were first reported in ancient Egypt in 1650 BC, albeit the author did not recommend a therapy because of the advanced soft tissue infec- tion surrounding the fracture site.1 Currently, in African countries mandibular fractures are mostly the result of motor vehicle accidents and interpersonal vio- lence.2,3 Assault dominates the cause of mandibular fractures in urban centers of the USA.4 Falls and sports accidents are also major contributors to mandibular fractures in children.5 Pediatric maxillofacial frac- tures are seen in less than 15% of facial fractures as a result of anatomical and developmental factors.6 [Healthcare in Low-resource Settings 2023; 11:11304] thermore, children have a higher cancellous to cortical bone proportion and thicker over- lying soft tissue/fat in comparison to adults.11,12 Finally, the large head of a child protects the face, e.g., the cranium-to-face ratio is 4 to 1 in a five-year-old decreasing to 2.5 to 1 in an adult.6 Whilst concerns for the developing mandible and the odontogenesis favor a conservative approach to the management of mandibular fractures, we had to resort to an open reduction because of the displaced nature of the fracture of the mandibular body [type III].11 In the absence of intermaxillary fixation devices and equipment (plates) for an open reduction internal fixation lacking, we chose to fix the fracture with sutures in these limited resources setting.

• Ethanolic extract of red dragon fruit inhibits growth of mosquito larvae by Susanti, Dhina Ayu; Milyunier, Fitria Meliana Putri; Nufus, Galuh Maulidatin; Pramesti, Lita Aulia; Khamimi, Nia Laela Nur; Anggitasari, Wima; Setyaningrum, Lindawati; Armandari, Inna (2023) - Discussion This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of red dragon fruit peel extract (Hylocereus polyrhizus) against Aedes aegypti and Culex mosquito larvae. This can inhibit the respiratory chain, oxidative phosphorylation, and break the chain between the respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation so that flavonoids can work as respiratory inhibitors in mosquitoes.17 Saponins can reduce the surface tension of the mucous membrane of the larvae’s digestive tract so that the larvae’s walls become cor- rosive and eventually damaged.27 Triterpenoids as stomach poi- sons.28 Tannin compounds can bind to protease enzymes by bind- ing to enzymes by tannins, so the work of these enzymes will be hampered so that cell metabolic processes can be disrupted, and the larvae will lack nutrition.27 This finding can be used in developing an abate product from red dragon fruit peel extract, which is environmentally friendly and has almost the same effectiveness as temefos abate.

• Antiretroviral activity from elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) flowers against HIV-2 infection via reverse transcriptase inhibition: a viroinformatics study by Zainul, Rahadian; Kharisma, Viol Dhea; Ciuputri, Pauline; Ansori, Arif Nur Muhammad; Herdiansyah, Mochammad Aqilah; Sahadewa, Sukma; Durry, Fara Disa (2024) - The predicted mechanism of HIV-2 RT inhibitors in this study refers to NNRTIs in HIV-1 by targeting a hydrophobic pocket for inhibition of polymerization reactions.37 In contrast to HIV-1, HIV-2 has mutations in RT with positions K65R, K70E, L74V, Q151M, M184I/V; RT mutations in HIV-2 trigger significant antiretroviral resistance compared to HIV-1.11 A more negative binding affinity value signifies a stronger influence produced by ligand binding on the target.34 Isohamnetin from elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) flower extract is predicted to be a good antiretroviral candidate through inhibition of HIV-2 RT activity. Keywords: acid; compounds; drug; elderberry; flower; hiv-2; isorhamnetin; molecular; nigra; sambucus; sambucus nigra

• Correlation between personal characteristics and intention to perform bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation by Ulya, Ikhda; Rini, Ika Setyo; Febriani, Melati Gusti Dwi; Putri, Azizah Khusnadani; Kumboyono, Kumboyono; Lestari Ismail, Dina Dewi Sartika; Merdikawati, Ayut (2024) - Moreover, community-level socioeconomic status has shown a significant association with bystander CPR rates and the survival of OHCA patients. This showed that lower bystander CPR and survival rates Significance for public health Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) constitutes a significant public health concern characterized by poor survival rates.

• A minimalist technique for insertion of intrauterine devices by Goldstuck, Norman David (2015) - Insertion forces with intrauterine devices: implications for uter- ine perforation. The technique of IUD insertion as described in most textbooks and journals is unnecessarily complex and based on ritual rather than good clinical evidence. Keywords: device; insertion; iud; technique; uterine

• Scrotal necrosis to total de-gloving injury of the male genitalia: an experience from Sub-Saharan Africa by Houben, Christoph H.; Azubuike, Chuks; Ozoemena, Okogbe; Saidu, Bala (2013) - Post reconstructive surgery for scrotal skin loss secondary to Fournier’s gangrene. On arrival in the hospital the day after the injury, he had emergency surgery: on inspec- tion there was a total loss of scrotal skin down to the perineum with the testicles exposed but viable, the penis was bleeding from its distal end as a result of complete loss of the glans penis in addition to the shaft- and foreskin loss. Keywords: fournier; gangrene; loss; penile; scrotum; skin

• Application of emporiatrics in minimizing travelers’ health risks by Shrivastava, Saurabh RamBihariLal; Shrivastava, Prateek Saurabh; Ramasamy, Jegadeesh (2013) - Actions which the traveler must take prior to the commencement of the journey should be learning about the destination (ascertaining health risks prevalent in the area, climate, availability of health care facilities, etc.); med- ical consultation for necessary immunizations or for an ongoing health concern;7 obtaining special travelers health insurance for destina- tions where health risks are significant and medical care is expensive/not readily available; and carrying a medical/first-aid kit. The num- ber of people undertaking international travels is on the rise every year and with that, travel- related risks to their health are increasing.2 Travel on a global scale exposes many people to a range of health risks varying from exposure to different disease agents to changes in the physical/biological environment, all of which can lead to ill-health.2,3 Keywords: health; risks; travel; travelers
