Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Pengetahuan Orang Tua tentang Stunting pada Balita

Stunting masih menjadi masalah gizi anak yang utama yang dapat menimbulkan dampak besar, namun masyarakat khususnya orangtua banyak yang belum memahami stunting dengan benar. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis faktor yang berhubungan dan yang mempunyai pengaruh paling dominan terhadap pengetahuan orang tua tentang stunting pada balita. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain crosssectional dengan populasi yaitu orangtua yang memiliki anak balita usia 0-3 tahun di Posyandu Dusun Plosoarang, Sanankulon, Kabupaten Blitar. Sampel diambil dengan purposive sampling sebanyak 20 orang dengan kriteria inklusi orang tua yang mengantar ke posyandu dan minimal berpendidikan SMP. Pengukuran data menggunakan kuesioner meliputi data pengetahuan, usia, pendidikan terakhir, pekerjaan, dan informasi yang pernah diperoleh. Analisis bivariat menggunakan koefisien kontingensi. Analisis multivariat menggunakan uji regresi logistik ganda dengan nilai signifikan α=0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan faktor yang berhubungan dengan pengetahuan tentang stunting yaitu usia (p=0,017), pendidikan (p=0,043), informasi (p=0,002). Analisis uji regresi logistik menunjukkan informasi menjadi faktor yang paling dominan terhadap pengetahuan (p=0,025). Faktor yang tidak berhubungan yaitu pekerjaan (p=0,078) dan pengalaman (p=0,822). Petugas posyandu agar memberikan informasi tentang stunting saat kegiatan posyandu misalnya melalui penyuluhan atau konseling. Orang tua diharapkan agar meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang stunting dengan mencari informasi melalui berbagai media yang ada. Stunting is still a major child nutrition problem that can have a big impact. But many people especially parents do not understand about stunting correctly. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that are related and which have the most dominant influence on parental knowledge about stunting in toddler. This study uses cross sectional design with a population that is parents who have children aged 0-3 years old at Posyandu of Plosoarang village, Sanankulon, Blitar. Sampel were taken bu purposive sampling of 20 people with the inclusion criteria of parent who took to posyandu and at least junior high school education. Data measurement using a questionnaire includes data on knowledge, age, education, employment, and information ever obtained. Bivariate analysis uses contingency coefficients. Multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression test. The Result showed factors related to knowledge about stunting are age (p=0,017), education (p=0,043), information (p=0,002). Logistic regression analysis showed that information was the most dominant factor in knowledge (p=0,0025). Unrelated factors were work (p=0,078) and experience (p=0,822). Posyandu officers are expectedto provide information about stunting during posyandu activities and parents are expected to increase knowledge about stunting by finding information through various media.
Passability of Potamodromous Species through a Fish Lift at a Large Hydropower Plant (Touvedo, Portugal)

River fragmentation by large hydropower plants (LHP) has been recognized as a major threat for potamodromous fish. Fishways have thus been built to partially restore connectivity, with fish lifts representing the most cost-effective type at high head obstacles. This study assessed the effectiveness with which a fish lift in a LHP on the River Lima (Touvedo, Portugal), allows potamodromous fish—Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei), Northern straight-mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense) and brown trout (Salmo trutta fario)- to migrate upstream. Most fish (79.5%) used the lift between summer and early-fall. Water temperature was the most significant predictor of both cyprinids’ movements, whereas mean daily flow was more important for trout. Movements differed according to peak-flow magnitude: nase (67.8%) made broader use of the lift in the absence of turbined flow, whereas a relevant proportion of barbel (44.8%) and trout (44.2%) passed when the powerhouse was operating at half (50 m3s−1) and full-load (100 m3s−1), respectively. Size-selectivity found for barbel and trout could reflect electrofishing bias towards smaller sizes. The comparison of daily abundance patterns in the river with fish lift records allowed the assessment of the lift’s efficacy, although biological requirements of target species must be considered. Results are discussed in the context of management strategies, with recommendations for future studies.
How Does Credit Supply Expansion Affect the Real Economy? The Productive Capacity and Household Demand Channels

Credit supply expansion can affect an economy by increasing productive capacity or by boosting household demand. This study develops an empirical test to determine whether the household demand channel of credit supply expansion is present, and it implements the test using both a natural experiment in the United States in the 1980s based on banking deregulation and an international panel of 56 countries over the last several decades. Consistent with the importance of the household demand channel, credit supply expansion boosts non-tradable sector employment and the price of non-tradable goods, with limited effects on tradable sector employment. Such credit expansions amplify the business cycle, leading to more severe recessions.
Intercomparing Solar Spectral Irradiance From SORCE SIM

We compare solar spectral irradiance (SSI) measurements obtained from the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM) on board the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), corrected for instrument degradation using three different methods; SIM Version 25, Multiple Same‐Irradiance‐Level and SIM constrained Version 2 (SIMc V2), to quantify their differences and gain understanding about the relative performance of each method. Furthermore, we compare the three data sets to independent SSI observations that include the SORCE SIM successor Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor SIM and solar irradiance models. While we find agreement between the SSI for the three correction methods for wavelengths in the visible, differences persist for shorter and longer wavelengths, on time scales on the order of the 11‐year solar cycle. The comparisons to independent SSI observations reveal remaining instrument trends in some of the corrected SORCE SIM data.
Lipid profile and its relevance in carcinoma breast

Breast cancer has emerged as a rapidly growing cancer in India and has already replaced cervical cancer. Advances have been made in early detection of breast cancer, less radical primary therapy and use of radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. But the etiology remains controversial weight gain, obesity and HDL-C levels are correlated with development of breast cancer in women to explore their possible role prevention of breast cancer. According to global cancer statistics for the year 2008, breast cancer resulted in 46 million deaths. In Western ABSTRACT

Factors Affecting the Self-Rated Health of the Community Dwelling Older Adults

Self-rated health is rated as an important indicator of the older adults’health status, as it combines physical, cognitive, and emotional components as well as aspects related to satis­faction with lifeandwell-being. Exploring factors associated with SRH is vital as it will help in promoting health of the older adults. Aim: Identify the factors affecting the self-rated health of the community dwelling older adults. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. The study was conducted in urban and rural areas affiliated to Mansoura city, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt. From urban areas, 4 health centers out of 12 were selected. While from rural heath units, 4 villages out of 58 were selected. The study included a purposive sample of 300 older adults living in the community. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection; Socio-demographic and health related data structured interview questionnaire sheet, Functional Independence Measure Instrument, and Lawton-Brody instrumental activities of daily living Scale. Results: Nearly half of the studied older adults’ age ranged from 60 to less than 75 years with a mean age of 66.74 ± 6.21 years. Good was the most frequent self-rated healthrating among the participated older adults. The mean total score in the good self-rated health group was 92.99 ± 5.32 points with respect to functional independence measure.The study participants’ gender, residence, income, presence of chronic diseases, social support and functional status were significantly associated with self-rated health P ? 0.05. Conclusion: Self-rated health is a good indicator of perceived health status of the community dwelling older adults. As well, good self-rated health was significantly associated with female gender, rural residence, high economic status, fewer chronic diseases, presence ofsocial support and high level of functional status. Recommendation: Develop and implement a health intervention programs are needed to provide physical, emotional and social support to older adults living in the community.
Oral HPV Infection and Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Individuals

Introduction: Previous studies have suggested that Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to virus like particles (VLP) to the HPV L1 capsid protein acquired through a natural infection may protect against the subsequent incidence of cervical HPV infection. However, it is underdetermined how HPV VLP seropositivity may impact the risk of oral HPV infection. Methods: Serum samples from 476 HIV-infected and 297 at risk HIV-uninfected participants were tested for antibodies at study baseline to virus-like particles to the L1 capsid protein of HPV16 using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Oral rinse samples were collected at semi-annually follow-up visits for up to three years. DNA was isolated from the oral rinse and tested using PGMY 09/11 primers. Adjusted Poisson and Wei-Lin-Weissfeld regression modeling were utilized. Results: 23% of HIV-infected and 20% of HIV-uninfected individuals were HPV16 seropositive. HPV16 seropositivity was not associated with baseline oral HPV16 DNA detection (aPR=0.50, 95%CI=0.18-1.4), but was associated with baseline anal HPV16 DNA detection among the MACS participants (aPR=2.3, 95%CI=1.5-3.7). The risk of incident oral HPV infection during follow-up was similar comparing individuals who were HPV16 seropositive compared to those who were HPV16 seronegative at baseline (aHR=1.2, 95%CI=0.43-3.3).
PRESCRIBING PATTERN OF PSYCHOTROPIC AGENTS IN RURAL TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to study the prescribing pattern on psychotropic agents at psychiatric department at rural tertiary care teaching hospital, B.G. Nagara. Methods: A prospective and observational study was conducted among psychiatric department (either sex) after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria for the period of 6 months and a total of 300 prescriptions were analyzed. Results: A total of 300 psychiatric patients were enrolled, male 170 (56.67%) patients predominated over females 130 (43.33%) patients. Majority of participants were under age group of 31–40 years (28.6%), illiterate (75%), unemployed (52%), and married (84%). Prevalence of mood disorder 109 (36.33%) was high followed by substance used and addictive disorder 53 (17.67%), schizophrenia 46 (15.33%), and psychosomatic medicine 22 (7.33%). Antidepressant (28.59%) was the commonly prescribed group followed by benzodiazepines (14.81%), anticholinergic (7.18%), and anticonvulsants (7.18%). Tricyclic antidepressants drugs amitriptyline (53.44%) was most frequently prescribed an antidepressant. An average number of drugs per prescription was 2.32 out of which 16.91% of drugs were prescribed by their generic name. Conclusion: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were the most common group, and escitalopram was the most common medication used among the SSRIs. Majority of the drugs were prescribed from essential drug list. This study advocated an overall rational utilization of psychotropic drugs with fewer deviations due to the socioeconomic status of patients and prescription practices of healthcare providers and need to improve prescribing habits to ensure rational use.
Correlation of happiness and professional autonomy in Iranian nurses

Background Happiness and professional autonomy in nurses increase job satisfaction, reduce turnover and improve the quality of healthcare services. Aims The present study aimed to examine the correlation between happiness and professional autonomy in Iranian nurses. Methods This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 371 nurses in 2017. The participants were selected via two-step random sampling. Data were collected using the Oxford Happiness Inventory and Dempster Practice Behaviors Scale within the score ranges of 0–87 and 30–150, respectively. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16. Results Mean score of happiness among nurses was 43.1 ± 13.3 and the mean score of professional autonomy was 96.4 ± 13.5. According to Pearson's correlation coefficient, professional autonomy had a positive, significant correlation with happiness (r = 0.481; p < 0.001). In addition, the results of regression analysis indicated that professional autonomy could predict 23% of the happiness variance in the nurses (p < 0.001). Conclusions According to the results, the level of happiness in Iranian nurses was favourable, whereas the level of professional autonomy was moderate. Considering the significant correlation between happiness and professional autonomy, attention should be paid to the simultaneous enhancement of these variables to improve the efficiency of nursing care.

Impact of Surgical Techniques Used for Mitral Valve Repair on Hemodynamic Performance

AbstractBackground Mitral regurgitation (MR) has many etiologies; the most common is degenerative disease. If not corrected, severe MR may cause left and right ventricular heart failure. Mitral valve (MV) repair is the gold standard for treatment of MR. All repair techniques include MV annuloplasty, but various techniques are employed to repair the valvular apparatus. The classical technique of leaflet resection is associated with excellent results, but repair using artificial chordae is gaining popularity and has been shown to achieve similar results.Aims (1) Does MV repair with artificial chordae correct the morphology and function of the MV better than leaflet resection? (2) How common are MR at rest and systolic anterior motion (SAM) when these techniques are comparedat rest and during physical exercise? (3) To what extent is the right ventricular function restored in patients with chronic MR after MV repair? (4) Is MV repair preferable for the surgical treatment of MV infective endocarditis? Methods Study I: Retrospective study conducted in two centers that compares the results of MV repair using two different surgical techniques.Studies II and III: Prospective studies of resting and exercise echocardiography in patients that had undergone MV repair with either artificial chordae or leaflet resection. Study III compares the hemodynamics and left ventricularfunction of the repaired MV. Study IV evaluates the right ventricular function at rest and during exercise.IV: Retrospective study of long term outcomes of patients with MV infective endocarditis (IE) who underwent surgical repair in Lund with different surgical techniques.Results and importanceI: Both evaluated techniques for repair the MV were associated with good long-term survival and low incidence of recurrent MR, reoperation, IE and thromboembolism. No significant differences were detected between the groups.II: Both surgical techniques were associated with low pressure gradients over the MV at rest and during exercise without any significant difference between the groups. The left ventricular function was well preserved and both groups had good exercise capacity.III: At follow up, patients who underwent mitral valve repair had significantly worse RV function at rest and peak exercise than did healthy individuals.IV: Mortality following surgery for mitral IE is high. Independent predictors of poor outcome are the preoperative symptoms of persisting fever, clinical stroke and heart failure and infection with S. aureus, diabetes mellitus, renalfailure and age. The surgical method (i.e. repair or prosthesis implantation) did not influence survival of IE. (Less)
A prospective study of clinical profile of hypokalemic periodic paralysis in paediatric patients

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is the most common form of periodic paralysis. It was studied by Hartwing and more elaborately by Aitkin and they have found the association between weakness and low potassium and its reversal after administration of potassium. It is not a frequent but a cause of weakness in paediatric age group patient and it is revised after treatment. If it is not diagnosed properly it could be life threatening but if it is treated properly recovery is good, but it associated with risk of hyperkalaemia. It can be primary and secondary type and it can be localised or generalised. In primary type episode occurs frequently but in secondary type it not so.
An Evidence‐Based Rationale for Adopting Weight‐Inclusive Health Policy

Health policies routinely emphasize weight loss as a target for health promotion. These policies rest upon the assumptions: (1) that higher body weight equals poorer health, (2) that long-term weight loss is widely achievable, and (3) that weight loss results in consistent improvements in physical health. Our review of the literature suggests that these three assumptions underlying the current weightfocused approach are not supported empirically. Complicating this further are the misguided assumptions (4) that weight stigma (i.e., pervasive social devaluation and denigration of higher weight individuals) promotes weight loss and (5) recognizing that one is “overweight” is necessary to spur health-promoting behaviors. We highlight throughout how these assumptions have manifested in current policies and offer suggestions for alternative approaches to health promotion. We conclude by advocating for the broad adoption of a weight-inclusive approach to health policy.
The Experience of Palliative Care Specialists in Implementing Palliative Care into their Work Settings in Lusaka, Zambia

There is a significant unmet need for palliative care globally: of the 58 million people dying annually, it was estimated that at least 60% will have a prolonged advanced illness and dying and would benefit from palliative care. Zambia has a total population of 15,066,266 people. About 1,150,400 people are living with HIV and 18,900 people were reported to have died of HIV in 2014 alone. The most recent palliative care situational analysis in Zambia highlighted that palliative care remained ‘an essential absent factor’ and revealed that there were gaps in the type of care given in various home based care (HBC) programs. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring the experiences of trained palliative care specialists in implementing palliative care in Lusaka, Zambia. This study was an exploratory qualitative research. The population comprised of the trained palliative care specialists in either degree or diploma in palliative care, working in Lusaka. Purposive sampling was used and the sample totaled 6 (n-6). The data collection was done using a semi-structured interview guide, through face-to-face in-depth interviews. The interviews lasted for an average of 20 minutes. Prompts and probes were used to increase detailed analysis explorations Eleven themes broadly classified as facilitators or challenges emerged from the study. Among the facilitators: training influence; higher level support; effective team work and delivery models; and personal development and motivation to serve. challenges included: lack of PC knowledge; lack of essential medication for PC; work burden; lack of financial resources; lack of acceptance of PC; lack of PC guidelines; and legal restrictions on the use of opioids. The study provided evidence of the challenges and facilitators that influence palliative care specialists experience while implementing PC. It is therefore, recommended that more research, education, effective teamwork is promoted as the study revealed that participants needed support for effective implementation of palliative care.
