Risk of Prenatal Pesticide Exposure to Anemia and Stunted Birth in Horticultural Areas of West Lampung Regency, Indonesia
Authors: Yushananta Prayudhy , Ahyanti Mei 
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The massive use of pesticides in horticultural agriculture has raised significant concerns about their effects on human health, including fetal growth. This study aims to evaluate the risk of prenatal pesticide exposure to anemia and stunted birth in a horticulture center in Lampung Province, Indonesia.
Methods: The study followed the pregnancies of 100 participants, grouped into exposed (WF=50) and unexposed (WNF=50). This study observes work methods, working hours, and protection used. Cholinesterase, hemoglobin, energy and protein intake were also measured (three periods). Birth length measurements were made at all births. Chi-square and stratification tests were used to assess differences in proportions between groups. Calculation of Relative Risk (RR) with 95% CI was applied to assess the risk of exposure to the outcome.
Results: The study found that most participants were aged 21-35 years (80.0%), low income (87.0%), and 28.0% of WF had never given birth. There is no difference in the energy and protein intake proportion between WF and WNF (p-value> 0.05). But significantly different in poisoning status (p-value = 0.002) and hemoglobin level (p-value = 0.008). The risk of anemia in WF with poisoning is 4.57 (2.24-9.35) times. Furthermore, the risk of having a stunted baby from WF with anemia is 10.63 (1.16-97.26) times.
Conclusion: This study has proven that pesticide exposure is a risk factor for anemia that impacts stunting. Examination of pesticide poisoning, nutritional monitoring during pregnancy, and social safety nets are recommended.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Any personal injury or death due to an occupational accident is classified as an occupational injury by the International Labor Organization. The metal fabrication work in automotive, aerospace, and electronic manufacturing industries can be physically and mentally exhausting. No research is available on work-related injuries and stress among iron and steel fabrication workers in Odisha. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of work-related injuries and the risk factors associated with them.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done from November 2020 to June 2022 in eligible and consenting iron and steel fabrication workers, selected by multistage random sampling. Data was collected by a pretested questionnaire and the Workplace Stress Scale. Data was analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences v23. Descriptives, chi-square test, and logistic regression were used for interpretation. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Out of 386 male workers, the majority (80.83%) were 18-40 years old. Around 76.33% had at least one episode of injury in the past year. Injury to fingers (79.33%) was most common. The most common type was cuts (80.33%) and the major source was hand tools (81%). Marital status, education, occupation, and work conditions were significantly associated with injury (p = 0.001). Around 39.39% had severe stress levels.
Conclusion: We identified the hazardous working conditions increasing the risk of injury among workers. Creating awareness regarding safety measures can avert such injuries.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Across the UK, patients presenting with a stone obstructing the ureter or renal pelvis are often temporized with a stent instead of undergoing primary uretero-renoscopy (pURS) or lithotripsy to treat the offending stone. This may be due to issues with staffing or equipment or the view that it is a solution to the patient's immediate problem. This necessitates a further operation, and the morbidity associated with that, alongside the morbidity of living with a stent in situ and the associated costs. Getting it Right First Time, therefore, recommends definitive treatment within an appropriate timescale instead of stenting. This study aims to audit the management of acute presentations of urolithiasis in a National Health Service Trust in Scotland. Methods: A retrospective review of 85 consecutive patients presenting with obstructing urolithiasis requiring operative intervention on the index admission between January 2021 and January 2022 was performed; assessing patient and stone characteristics, choice of intervention (stent vs pURS), and operative outcomes. Results: 85 patients were identified: 31 (36%) underwent pURS, and 54 (64%) underwent stent placement. Full-stone clearance was achieved in 30 (96%) of patients undergoing pURS, while mean waiting time until definitive treatment was 86 days for those stented. Twenty-eight (90%) of the pURS were performed by a trainee. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified infection (OR: 0.04; p = 0.003) and proximal stones (OR: 0.27; p = 0.028) were negatively associated with associated with pURS, while an endourology subspecialist consultant on-call was positively associated with pURS (OR 3.73; p = 0.019). Discussion: Proximal stones and infection are the main drivers toward stenting, while an on-call endourologist skews toward pURS, which is safe and feasible, and should be the preferred option for intervention in the absence of infection and can be used as a training opportunity.
Evidence-based treatments for PTSD symptoms resulting from military sexual trauma in women Veterans: A systematic review
Authors: Campbell Gavin M. , Biscoe Natasha , Williamson Victoria , Murphy Dominic 
Published: November 2024

LAY SUMMARY Military sexual trauma (MST) includes experiences of sexual harassment and assault. It is widespread across militaries and disproportionately affects women. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most frequent outcomes of experiencing MST. However, as Veterans can often respond differently from civilians to psychological treatments, this study aimed to review the literature that exists on treatment for PTSD resulting from MST specifically in women Veterans. Trauma-focused therapies were found to have the best quality evidence base, in particular, cognitive processing therapy (CPT). Emerging evidence was found for Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) to reduce PTSD symptoms. It should be noted trauma-focused therapies had the highest patient dropout rates, and the definition of MST was inconsistent across studies.

LAY SUMMARY Some Veterans released from the Canadian Armed Forces have mental health disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To improve Veteran mental health, there need to be treatments that are helpful. There also needs to be a way for mental health professionals to learn about these treatments. Not much is known about the treatments and topics in which Canadian mental health professionals are trained. In 2021, the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families surveyed Canadian mental health professionals who provide care to Veterans. The survey asked respondents questions about current training and what they would like to know more about. There were also questions about training specific to Veterans impacted by military sexual trauma (MST). A total of 696 people completed the survey, 669 of whom were mental health professionals. Most respondents had training in cognitive behavioural therapy (76%). This therapy is one of the top recommended treatments for PTSD. Mental health professionals indicated they wanted to learn more about other recommended treatments and newer treatments. Only 12% of those who answered questions about MST indicated they had specialized training. Overall, many professionals have training in at least one treatment for PTSD. Mental health professionals want to learn prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy. More information is needed to see whether treatments are being used as intended. Specialized resources for MST may help professionals provide better care to Veterans who experienced sexual trauma.
Investigating the efficacy of 18-week salmon protein hydrolysate supplementation on metabolic inflammation, well-being, and cosmetic outcomes: A pilot clinical trial in healthy adults
Authors: Christian Bjerknes  , Nicholas Framptom  , Crawford Currie  
Published: November 2024

Background: Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom associated with aging, which significantly reduces quality of life. Salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) has recently been investigated for its potential benefits in improving energy levels, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting cosmetic health.
Objective: The primary objective of this proof-of-concept clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of daily low-dose SPH supplementation on energy levels, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cosmetic outcomes in healthy adults, with a focus on potential gender-specific effects.
Methods: This open-label, single-arm study involved 20 participants, of which 70.6% were female. Participants consumed 4g of SPH daily for 128 days. Key outcomes measured included changes in perceived energy levels, antioxidant gene expression (HMOX1 and FTH1), free radical activity, serum cytokine levels (IL-5, IL-8, CRP, IL-2, IL-10), hematological parameters, and self-reported cosmetic outcomes. Assessments were made throughout the study to track changes over time.
Results: SPH supplementation led to a significant 10.24% improvement in perceived energy levels (P = 0.004), with a greater improvement observed among women (14.55%, P = 0.008). A 9% reduction in oxidative stress (P < 0.001) was accompanied by up regulation of HMOX1 and FTH1 genes by 4.09-fold and 3.77-fold, respectively. Pro-inflammatory markers IL-5, IL-8, and CRP decreased significantly (P < 0.001), while anti-inflammatory markers IL-2 and IL-10 increased (P < 0.001). Self-reported cosmetic outcomes improved by 23.7% (P = 0.03), with women reporting a 34.5% enhancement in hair, skin, and nail health (P = 0.009).
Conclusion: Daily supplementation with low-dose SPH improved energy levels, reduced oxidative stress, and modulated inflammatory markers in healthy adults. Notably, women experienced greater improvements in both energy levels and cosmetic outcomes, suggesting SPH may be a beneficial supplement for enhancing overall well-being and cosmetic health, particularly among women.
Keywords: Salmon protein hydrolysate, oxidative stress, inflammation, fatigue, cosmetic outcomes, aging.
Did Vulture Decline Increase Death Rates in India?

Published: November 2024

This commentary critically evaluates the methodology and conclusions of a recent study by Frank and Sudarshan[1] which links the decline of vulture populations in India to an estimated half-million excess human deaths between 2000 and 2005. Utilizing data from India’s Civil and Sample Registration Systems, Frank and Sudarshan attributed the claimed rise in human mortality to the ecological consequences of vulture loss, notably increased feral dog populations and associated rabies, waterborne diseases, and other health hazards. By examining the data reliability as well as independent analysis of the same data, we identify significant limitations in data reliability, potential confounding factors, and the robustness of the study’s statistical assumptions. Our findings question the strength of the patterns themselves and further the soundness of the causal claims, suggesting that improvements in mortality records and many other factors may potentially explain the observed trends. With the current limitations of data, there is no reliable way to estimate quantitatively the human health consequences of vulture decline.

Happy Holidays! The Philippine Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (PSO HNS) Board of Trustees congratulates the Editorial Board of the Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (PJO-HNS), headed by Dr. Jose Florencio Lapeña, Jr., on the publication of this issue. Dr. Lapeña has been the editor-in-chief of the PJO-HNS for the past 18 years, and it has grown in scope and stature under his leadership.
It is through the PJO-HNS that we achieve some of the objectives codified in our articles of incorporation. These articles state that the primary purpose of the PSO-HNS is to engage in the promotion of the welfare, training, and scientific advancement of ORL-HNS in the Philippines, particularly (among many other objectives), to develop programs to promote the exchange of scientific information among members, and to encourage, support and institute publication of scientific ORL-HNS literature for national and international consumption.
This year, we will be proposing a new Vision for the PSO-HNS: To be a globally recognized society in ORL-HNS, driving innovation, collaboration, and excellence through an engaged community of Fellows and stakeholders by 2027. Part of the reason for the change was to facilitate recall of the vision statement. We want every Fellow of the Society to remember the vision so that individually and corporately, we can put this vision at the forefront of our plans and projects to ensure success. Part of the proposed Mission of the PSO-HNS is advancing innovation in ENT care by promoting research and development. The PJO-HNS will play an important role in achieving global recognition for the society by continuing its tradition of innovation and excellence in vetting, improving and publishing research papers from all over the world.
Knowing our Vision and Mission is but the start of continuing our growth as a Society. To be truly relevant, we must look at the current situation of our nation and identify ways to improve the lot of the Filipino people, not just in terms of ENT care, but in all aspects of life that we can touch. The Society has increasingly focused on advocacies such as care for the environment, cancer consciousness, hearing health, road safety and the like. We have supported movements and statements for social justice, government accountability and PhilHealth reform. Let us continue to use our strength as a Society towards a better Philippines.
I would like to share with you my life verse for this year. From the letter of Paul to the Galatians: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Let us continue doing good for each Fellow, for the PSO-HNS as a whole, and for the Filipino people who need our care.
His Blessings!

Published: November 2024

Dusun Tepus yang terletak di Kecamatan Ngantang, Kabupaten Malang, dikenal sebagai salah satu wilayah penghasil susu sapi perah yang memasok produk susu ke beberapa daerah di Jawa Timur. Namun, sejak pandemi Covid-19 permintaan terhadap susu sapi di Dusun Tepus telah mengalami penurunan yang drastis, akibatnya stok susu menjadi berlimpah tetapi tanpa diimbangi dengan peningkatan permintaan yang sesuai dari masyarakat. Situasi ini semakin rumit dengan munculnya wabah penyakit mulut dan kuku (PMK), yang menyebabkan penjualan susu sapi mengalami penurunan yang signifikan. Dalam keadaan seperti ini, para produsen susu sapi menemui kendala dalam menyimpan produk-produk mereka, mengingat ketahanan susu sapi yang relatif singkat jika tanpa melalui proses pengolahan. Oleh karena itu, diversifikasi susu sapi menjadi produk olahan lain yang memiliki umur simpan lebih lama menjadi suatu kebutuhan yang sangat penting, agar susu hasil pemerahan tidak terbuang, bahkan jika tidak terjual dalam waktu yang singkat. Keju adalah salah satu produk olahan susu yang mampu bertahan lama. Terdapat berbagai jenis keju yang dapat diproduksi dari susu, seperti keju cheddar, mozzarella, ricotta, dan beberapa jenis lainnya. Keju cheddar, khususnya, menjadi salah satu varian yang sangat populer karena cita rasanya yang gurih dan kemampuannya untuk diaplikasikan dalam berbagai jenis hidangan. Produk keju ini memiliki potensi besar untuk dikomersialisasikan dalam usaha bisnis. Lebih dari itu, keju dapat di-branding sebagai produk lokal dari suatu daerah dan menjadi ciri khas dari daerah tersebut. Oleh sebab itu tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan pelatihan kepada warga Dusun Tepus untuk mengolah susu menjadi keju cheddar yang dapat dijadikan sebagai produk kewirausahaan. Metode yang diterapkan adalah penyuluhan dan praktik langsung pembuatan keju cehddar. Pembuatan keju cheddar membutuhkan proses fermentasi selama 2 bulan hingga keju benar-benar mengeras. Keju cheddar yang telah dipanen umumnya memiliki warna dan aroma yang khas dan tekstur cenderung keras. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian diharapkan mampu memberikan wawasan dan keterampilan kepada warga Dusun Tepus untuk memproduksi keju yang dapat dijadikan salah satu produk produk lokal unggulan dari daerah tersebut yang dapat dikomersialkan.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundBovine paratuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease of ruminants primarily caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). It is essentially a chronic granulomatous enteritis characterized by intractable diarrhea, progressive lethargy, and thickening of the intestinal mucosa with the formation of crumpled pouches. Bovine paratuberculosis not only adversely affects milk production and the quality of dairy products but also poses a significant threat to the economic development of dairy farming and human food security. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prevalence of MAP infection among cattle herds in mainland ChinaResultsA total of 62 studies with data from 102,340 cattle in 24 provinces in China were selected after matching the assessment criteria. In China, the overall estimated prevalence of MAP infection in cattle was 8%(7727/102340). Interestingly, the MAP infection rate in cattle in southern China was estimated to be 2% (6/281), which was significantly lower compared with other regions of China, and the highest infection rate was 12% (1914/16008) in eastern China. MAP infection rates were related to age, average herd size, type of use, season, detection method, and sample type. Moreover, the MAP infection rate in cattle did not correlate with the publication date of the studies.ConclusionThe analysis identified age, average herd size, type of use, and season as significant potential risk factors associated with PTB pool positivity. In addition, the detection method and sample type can also potentially affect the incidence of detected PTB.
