Authors: Kumaraguru Akila , Ramalingam Rajalakshmi , Thangaraj Prabha , Seethalakshmi Rajanga Sekar , Balasubramanian Narasimman 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Paederus dermatitis (PD) is common skin condition occurring in South India caused due to contact with Rove beetle. It is often misdiagnosed due to wide difference in its presentation. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, sociodemographic, and environmental condition of patient’s presenting with PD.

Methodology:
A descriptive study was done among all patients diagnosed of PD at the Dermatology department of a teaching hospital in Trichy, South India, between January and December 2020. A detailed clinical history, examination of the lesion, and systemic examination was done. Patients were followed-up after 1 week to re-assess the lesion. A total of 117 cases were included in the final analysis.

Results:
The mean age of patients was 24.54 ± 11.8 years. Female were 51% with 84.6% residing in rural area. Majority of the cases presented between January and May. Presence of thick vegetation (85.5%) and sleeping with windows open (60.7%) were found to be the common risk factors. Most patients reported noticing the lesion in the morning with sudden onset associated with redness and tenderness with a bizarre pattern of lesion. Face, neck, and upper extremity were the most affected sites with burning sensation and itching, experienced by 82.1% and 76.1%, respectively. Ocular involvement with peri-orbital odema was seen among 17% of cases. Post-inflammatory pigmentation was present in 92.1% patients.

Conclusion:
PD present has a varying degree of skin lesions with absence of the typical linear pattern. Knowledge of its presentation is important to avoid misdiagnosis.
COVID-19 Pandemic Response by India and Future Directions
Authors: Kapoor Suraj 
Published: September 2022

Introduction:
It has been more than a year since COVID-19 was declared Pandemic by WHO on 11 March 20. India with the initial slow rise of cases had a peak of cases at around September 20 followed by a gradual fall in the number of new cases and faced the second wave with the rising number of cases from March 21 to July 21. There is limited literature examining the pandemic response in India considering policies adopted, economic factors, health-care capacity factors of selected states influencing the variation of the spread of infection in various states. Hence, this study is conducted to understand COVID response, policies adopted by India, and lessons learned.

Materials and Methods:
This is a descriptive study conducted across the country covering important states covering the period from January 2020 to September 2021. States were selected based on high caseload, high test positivity ratio. Data for the study are compiled from the health bulletins, official handles of health ministries, WHO, World bank, Worldometer, John Hopkins University Centre for Science and Engineering, NFHS 5, etc.,

Results:
On comparing key epidemiological indicators of selected states, Maharashtra has the largest number of cases with the highest Case fatality rate (CFR). Kerala has the second-highest cases among selected states but with the least CFR. On comparing key sociodemographic factors, Kerala has a maximum literacy rate and elderly population, while Delhi has maximum Population density. Despite having maximum risk factors such as the prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, Kerala managed to have the least CFR. The reason may be due to the robust surveillance system, high literacy rate, and good doctor–patient ratio comparing other states. Maharashtra the worst affected state managed to do better in the second wave in respect of oxygen supply and vaccination drive.

Conclusion:
Full lockdowns and early border closures appeared to lessen the peak of transmission and thus prevent health system overcapacity. However, these measures had an impact on the lives of people as well as the economy of the countries. Addressing vaccination drive issues such as supply chain and manufacturing capacity, focussing on the young and pediatric population as well as focussed cluster containment strategies seems to be the most effective strategy to combat the anticipated third wave.

Background:
Despite advances in hypertension care, developing countries have a high burden of uncontrolled blood pressure (BP). The Government of Tamil Nadu, India, initiated a noncommunicable disease program to improve hypertension management in public facilities.

Method:
We conducted cross-sectional surveys at baseline and follow-up to evaluate BP control after a multipronged intervention among patients with hypertension visiting public health facilities in Tamil Nadu. The intervention included protocol-based hypertension treatment, lifestyle counseling and monitoring by trained nurses, alongside monthly free drug refills. Descriptive statistics and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for BP control were analyzed.

Results:
We surveyed 923 patients at baseline and 941 at follow-up. Most patients were over 60 years of age, with female predominance. Proportion of patients dispensed drugs for 30 days increased at follow-up (84.5%) compared to baseline (11.4%) (P < 0.01). Proportion of patients with BP control was 32.4% at baseline and 40.5% at follow-up (P < 0.001). AOR for BP control at follow-up was 1.4 (95% confidence interval 1.1–1.7, P < 0.05) after adjusting for age, sex, type of facility, and the number of drugs.

Conclusion:
Focussing on accessibility, availability, and affordability, the program facilitated the provision of free drugs and counseling, resulting in optimal BP control. Encouraging physician adherence to protocols and task sharing with nurses can help streamline sustainable hypertension management.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Gastroenteritis is a disease known for its high morbidity and mortality in dogs. It shows wide variations in causes and prevalence throughout the world. No study in Lubumbashi has mentioned it to date.
Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to provide veterinary clinicians in Lubumbashi with data on the prevalence, seasonality associated with canine gastroenteritis and to assess the clinical diagnostic capacity of veterinary clinicians in the city of Lubumbashi.
Methodology: The retrospective 5-year clinical records of 762 dogs were consulted where only 455 clinical cases had completed records. These clinical records were collected from 14 veterinary practices and 4 veterinary clinics. A pre-populated survey form was distributed to all veterinary practices and clinics that did not complete clinical records during the study period.
Results: The prevalence of canine gastroenteritis was 47.5% [(95% CI):44.5-53.3] of ill dogs. This prevalence was influenced by vaccination status, breed, age and period of year (p<0.05). The sex did not show any influence (p>0.05). The highest prevalence was found in dogs between 0 and 6 months of age (80%). The most prevalent month was July, corresponding to the peak of the dry season in Lubumbashi. On the other hand, the least prevalent month was February, corresponding to the peak of the rainy season. Dogs in all communes were affected with the highest prevalence in the Commune of Lubumbashi 43.1% [(95% CI): 36.4-49.6] followed by the Annex commune 47 cases or 21.7% [(95% CI): 16.2-27.2]. During clinical consultations, three gastrointestinal diseases were suspected, including canine parvovirus enteritis, helminthiasis and non-specific gastroenteritis.
Unique contribution to theory and practice: This study was the first to record epidemiological data on canine gastroenteritis treated in veterinary practices and clinics in the city of Lubumbashi. It is therefore part of the objective to improve the epidemiological and clinical knowledge of canine gastrointestinal pathologies. Based on these results, the authors recommend to the dog breeders of Lubumbashi on the usefulness of vaccination and deworming of dogs especially during the dry season and to the veterinarians, rational management of the clinical records of the patients while encouraging them to practice autopsy and paraclinical examinations.

Introduction: Records obtained from slaughterhouses on the causes of meat condemnation is vital in contributing to the surveillance of disease prevalence and for promoting food security by protecting the community from consuming infected or unhygienic meat.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of conditions that lead to organs and/or carcass condemnation.
Methodology: A retrospective study design was used to collect data by using a structured questionnaire. The study reviewed three years (October 2018 to October 2021) postmortem inspection records of cattle slaughtered at abattoirs located in Bugesera, Gicumbi, and Rwamagana districts of Rwanda.
Findings: Of the 9256 cattle slaughtered, 26.3% had at least one condition leading to total condemnation of organs or carcasses. The results of the study also revealed that the fasciolosis was the main cause of the liver (41.1%, 90.0%, and 65.5%) condemnation in the three districts respectively, while the kidney (4.7%, 0.8%, and 6.4%) was condemned due to urinary calculi. The leading causes of condemnation of lungs and intestine were insufficient bleeding (50.1%) and pimply gut (0.7%), respectively. In decreasing order of probability of being more prevalent, the top four conditions were: fasciolosis (9.2%), insufficient bleeding (3.2%), urinary calculi (0.9%), and hydronephrosis (0.6%).
Recommendations: These results highlight the need for improved meat inspection practices at abattoirs, awareness of stakeholders involved in cattle trading value chain, and implementing control and prevention measures against these conditions. This will help improving meat safety at abattoirs while ensuring food security and profitability of meat value chain.

Published: September 2022

Ternyata kecanduan game online bukan hanya kecenderungan remaja di kota, melainkan juga sudah mulai merambah ke kelangan remaja di pedesaan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Penelitian dilakukan di dua desa, yakni Desa Harapan Kabupaten Selayar, dan Desa Sanrego Kabupaten Bone. Informan penelitian berjumlah 12 orang yang merupakan pelajar SMP dan SMA, orang tua, guru, dan tokoh masyarakat. Teknik pengumpulan data yaitu wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, di Desa Harapan Kabupaten Selayar dan Desa Sanrego Kabupaten Bone, fenomena kecanduan game online berdampak pada perubahan perilaku sosial remaja. Hal itu terlihat pada semakin kurangnya partisipasi remaja dalam membantu orang tua berkebun, maupun semakin berkurangnya minat belajar siswa. Adapula fenomena baru, dimana remaja desa sudah mulai belajar berbisnis secara online (jual beli chip). Ternyata, kecanduan game online bukan hanya meresahkan para orang tua dan guru di masyarakat perkotaan. Keresahan tersebut juga sudah mulai dirasakan masyarakat di Kawasan pedesaan Sulawesi Selatan. Kecanduan tersebut berwujud lamanya durasi yang digunakan untuk bermain game online, sementara dampaknya terasa dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah, interaksi dengan orang tua, hingga potensi dampak sosial.

Authors: Habibullah Nur 
Published: September 2022

Pengembangan pondok pesantren dilakukan meliputi salah satu aspek yaitu pengelolaan kesehatan lingkungan santri. Menurut Badri, sampai saat ini sebagian Pesantren tumbuh dalam lingkungan yang kumuh, seperti: tempat mandi dan WC yang kotor, lingkungan yang lembab, dan sanitasi yang buruk. Temuan Depkes tahun 2007, perilaku tidak sehat, seperti menggantung pakaian di kamar, tidak membolehkan pakaian santri perempuan dijemur di bawah terik matahari, dan saling bertukar pakai benda pribadi seperti sisir dan handuk. Metode penelitian kualitatif adalah metode penlitian yang berlandaskan pada filsafat postpositivisme, digunakan untuk meneliti pada kondisi obyek yang alamiah, (sebagai lawannya adalah eksperimen) dimana peneliti adalah sebagai instrumen kunci, pengambilan sampel sumber data dilakukan secara purposive sampling, teknik pengumpulan dengan trainggulasi (gabungan), analisi data bersifat indukatif/kualitatif, dan hasil penelitian lebih menekankan makna dari pada generalisasi. Pimpinan pondok pesantren dalam mengelola kesehatan lingkungan santri di Pondok Pesantren Al-Jauharen Kota Jambi belum akuntabel karena masih lemah dukungan dari semua pihak (wali santri, masyarakat, pemerintah dan santri) dalam mengatasi berbagai permasalahan kesehatan lingkungan yang ada.

Authors: Isiaq Jamiu , Ohagwu Chukwuemeka , Okwara Kelechi 
Published: September 2022

Background: The African traditional society places a high premium on fecundity and therefore, views infertility as a personal tragedy. Prolonged infertility might lead to suicidal tendencies, stigmatization, marital instability, and enormous psychological stress. In recent times in Nigeria, there appears to be an upsurge in the number of couples investigated for infertility using hysterosalpingography (HSG).
Objective: To observe the trend of HSG findings at a foremost tertiary hospital in Nigeria.
Methods: A consecutive enlistment of HSG radiographs concluded and reported on between July 2014 to December 2018. Using an inclusion criteria of patients who had an initial ultrasound scan prior to HSG as noted from radiologists reports, a sample size of 623 radiographs was enlisted from a HSG population of 2,624 cases. Patients’ demographic information were extracted from their request cards and radiologists’ reports.
Results: Patients were aged 22 – 54 (mean: 36.30 ± 6.00) years, with a modal age range of 31 – 40 year (58.5 %) showing the highest throughput. Hysterosalpingography abnormalities were in two broad sites of uterus and fallopian tubes with the former showing a higher frequency ((n = 362, 58.11 %). Specifically, fibroid (n = 198, 31.80 %) and congenital anomalies (n = 24, 3.80 %) were the most and least prevalent abnormalities, respectively.
Conclusions: Women aged 31 – 40 years were the most common patients for HSG, and uterine fibroid was the most common abnormality found in this study.
