Tracing Acinetobacter baumannii's Journey from Hospitals to Aquatic Ecosystems.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii in aquatic environments and fish microbiota by integrating culture-dependent methods, 16S metagenomics, and antibiotic resistance profiling. A total of 83 A. baumannii isolates were recovered using culture-dependent methods from intra-hospital infections (IHI) and wastewater (WW) and surface water (SW) samples from two southern Romanian cities in August 2022. The antibiotic susceptibility was screened using disc diffusion, microdilution, PCR, and Whole Genome Sequencing assays. The highest microbial load in the analyzed samples was found in Glina, Bucharest, for both WW and SW samples across all investigated phenotypes. For Bucharest isolates, the resistance levels corresponded to fluoroquinolones > aminoglycosides > β-lactam antibiotics. In contrast, A. baumannii from upstream SW samples in Târgoviște showed the highest resistance to aminoglycosides. The blaOXA-23 gene was frequently detected in IHI, WW, and SW isolates in Bucharest, but was absent in Târgoviște. Molecular phylogeny revealed the presence of ST10 in Târgoviște isolates and ST2 in Bucharest isolates, while other minor STs were not specifically correlated with a sampling point. Using 16S rRNA sequencing, significant differences in microbial populations between the two locations was identified. The low abundance of Alphaproteobacteria and Actinobacteria in both locations suggests environmental pressures or contamination events. These findings indicate significant fecal contamination and potential public health risks, emphasizing the need for improved water quality monitoring and management.

Pemberdayaan Mandiri Kader Nasyiatul Aisyiyah Tanggap Stunting di Kota Pekalongan

Data from Pekalongan City in August 2021 showed a stunting rate of 7.8% under five, which is lower than the national average. Efforts to accelerate stunting handling are carried out by involving Nasyiatul Aisyiyah (NA) as a youth organization in Pekalongan City. NA cadres are targeted to empower independence in handling stunting with education and early detection. However, the obstacles that occur are uneven activities in all branches of NA Pekalongan City and health programs that are limited to screening. Therefore, the independent empowerment of NA cadres in increasing awareness and independence of stunting response is important. The approach method taken is the independent empowerment of NA cadres as subjects and objects in community service activities with the aim of reducing stunting rates and improving student learning experiences as well as the implementation of key performance indicators. This method includes socialization, formation of stunting response NA cadres, provision of education, demonstration examinations, and assistance to provide education and early detection of stunting to the community. This activity received support from various parties so that it can run smoothly and is expected to increase public awareness about the importance of early detection in stunting. Support from various parties is still needed such as the Health Office, Social Office of Population Control and Family Planning, Puskesmas, and the community as an effort to realize zero stunting through independent empowerment of stunting response cadres.

Prevalence of canine Leishmania infections in Xin'an County, Luoyang City in 2020

To investigate the prevalence of canine Leishmania infections in villages endemic for visceral leishmaniasis in Xin'an County, Luoyang City, so as to provide insights into visceral leishmaniasis prevention and control. All dogs were captured from Huzhanggou Village, Xin'an County, Luoyang City in August 2020, where local cases with visceral leishmaniasis lived. The basic characteristics of dogs were collected, and venous blood was collected via the ear or neck veins of dogs. The serum anti-Leishmania antibody was detected using the rk39 immunochromatographic test and Leishmania nucleic acid was detected using PCR assay, and the prevalence of Leishmania infection was estimated in dogs. A total of 133 domestic dogs were captured from Huzhanggou Village, with a median age of 18.0 (28.5) months. The sero-prevalence of anti-Leishmania antibody was 24.81% (33/133) and the prevalence of a positive PCR assay was 14.29% (19/133) in dogs. The median ages of Leishmania-infected and uninfected dogs were 24.0 (36.0) months and 12.0 (18.0) months, respectively (U = 872.000, P = 0.000), and the prevalence of Leishmania infection was 55.56% (5/9) in "mangy dogs" and 24.19% (30/124) in asymptomatic dogs (χ2 = 2.793, P = 0.095). There are a large number of asymptomatic dogs with Leishmania infections in Xin'an County, Luoyang City, with a high transmission risk of visceral leishmaniasis. Timely prevention and control measures are required to control the spread of visceral leishmaniasis.

The Relationship of Breastfeeding Patterns with The Nutritional Status of Infants 6–24 Months

Babies who are exclusively breastfed will get all the advantages of breast milk and maximum nutrition. On the other hand, the incidence of malnutrition in the future is largely determined by breastfeeding patterns. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between breastfeeding patterns and the nutritional status of babies aged 6–24 months at the Islamic Boarding School I Community Health Center, Kediri City. This study used a cross-sectional design. The research population was mothers who had babies aged 6–24 months at the Pesantren I Health Center in Kediri City in August–October 2023, for a total of 150 babies. The research sample consisted of several mothers who had babies aged 6–24 months at the Pesantren I Health Center in Kediri City who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were 110 respondents. The research instrument for assessing breastfeeding patterns uses a questionnaire, while nutritional status is assessed using height and weight measurements. Data analysis used the Spearman rho statistical test. Half of the mothers had a pattern of predominant breastfeeding, namely 50%. Based on nutritional status, undernutrition 28.2%,. The Lambda test results show p = 0.016, meaning that there was a relationship between breastfeeding patterns and the nutritional status of children aged 6-24 months. The magnitude of the correlation was 0.152 which indicates the correlation very weak category. Breast milk given exclusively during the first 6 months of life can provide sufficient nutrition for the baby's growth and development.

BILATERAL ELASTOFIBROMA OF THE SCAPULA: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

Introduction:Elastofibromas are ill-defined, benign lesions typically located on the inferior pole of the scapula underneath the serratus anterior and latissimusdorsi.Elastofibromas are treated surgically to relieve pain and patients can regain range of motion in the shoulder. Bilateral scapulaelastofibromas are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this report details the first case of symptomatic bilateral elastofibromas of the scapula in a patient younger than 60 years of age. Case presentation: A 51-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented to the orthopedic clinic at King Saud University Medical City in August 2022. The patient had begun experiencing dull bilateral shoulder pain, with swelling which began five years. Patient denied any constitutional symptoms. A physical examination revealed a 7 8cm mass on the right scapula and a 6 7cm mass on the left scapula. There was no tenderness over the mass, and in both shoulders, the range of motion was restricted. MRI of both shoulders revealed increased intensity in the T1 andT2 axial and coronal cuts (Figures 3A-D). The right-side mass was 8 9cm, and the left-side mass was 8 7cm. Excisional biopsy is done for both lesions in separate time and sent for histopathology which confirmed the diagnosis of Elastofibroma. Also, the patient regains her full functionality of both shoulders, and the pain was resolved Conclusion: Elastofibroma can present on both shoulders, lead to chronic shoulder pain and decrease the functionality of the shoulders. Elastofibroma should be diagnosed by MRI and treated surgically by excision to improve the pain and functionality.

Micro-mobility and road safety: why do e-scooter riders use the sidewalk? Evidence from a German field study

ObjectivesSince their introduction in 2019, the use of e-scooters has become widespread in Germany. Concerns about road safety, especially pedestrian safety, have arisen as the popularity of micro-mobility has grown. In light of this context, the present study investigates which types of road infrastructure e-scooter riders use, with a focus on riding on the sidewalk, which is not permitted in Germany. We considered the following infrastructures: (1) off-road bike lane (+ sidewalk and road), (2) on-road bike lane (+ sidewalk and road), and (3) road (+ sidewalk). MethodsObservations at six sites (recording 738 e-scooter riders) and on-site surveys (involving responses from 129 e-scooter riders) were conducted in two German cities in August 2020 and September 2020. ResultsSelf-reported sidewalk riding was not found to be linked directly to a lack of rule knowledge, a preference for this type of infrastructure, or perceived safety. Observations indicated that using the sidewalk might be related to situational components, such as comfort or convenience, comprising up to 40% of instances of sidewalk riding. ConclusionConsidering the comfort and convenience factor of sites when building or improving cycling infrastructure can help keep e-scooter riders from riding on the sidewalk.

Loss of disability-adjusted life years due to heat-related sleep disturbance in the Japanese

The purpose of this study was to quantify the sleep disturbances caused by climate change using disability-adjusted life years (DALY). The revised sleep quality index for daily sleep (SQIDS2), a self-administered questionnaire for daily sleep quality, was developed to assess daily sleep disturbances. This questionnaire referenced and simplified the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). This study was conducted in Nagoya City in August 2011 and 2012. Sleep quality was measured using SQIDS2 and PSQI. A total of 574 participants in 2011 and 710 in 2012 responded to the survey. The sleep disturbance prevalence calculated from the SQIDS2 score was correlated with the daily minimum temperature (p = 0.0067). This score increased when the daily minimum temperature was above 24.8 °C. When correcting for the PSQI score, DALY loss due to heat-related sleep disturbances in Nagoya City (population: 2,266,851) was estimated to be 81.8 years in 2012. This value was comparable to the DALY loss due to heatstroke. Sleep disturbance due to climate change was quantified using the DALY based on the PSQI. Legislators must recognize the critical impact of the damage caused by sleep disturbances due to high temperatures at night. Additionally, a daily minimum temperature of 25 °C should be the starting point when establishing a goal or guideline for nighttime temperature.

Contamination Assessment of Mangrove Ecosystems in the Red Sea Coast by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.

Mangroves are known as a naturally based solution for climate mitigation and adaptation. Mangroves are at a potential risk of degradation by contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this study, sixteen priority PAHs were analyzed and characterized in forty samples of mangrove seawater and mangrove sediments collected from two coastal areas (i.e., Sharm and Khor Rabigh) along the Red Sea Coast of Rabigh city in August 2013. We found that the average concentration of total PAH in mangrove sediments in the Sharam area (22.09 ng/kg) was higher than that in the Alkhor area (6.51 ng/kg). However, the average concentration of the total PAH in the mangrove seawater in the Alkhor area (9.19 ng/L) was double that in the Sharam area (4.33 ng/L). Phenanthrene and pyrene were the major components in both the mangrove seawater and sediment in all the investigated areas. We observed that the abundance of PAHs with 2–3 aromatic rings was dominant in sediment samples collected from both study areas. This abundance was also observed in seawater from the Sharam area. However, seawater samples from the Alkhor area had abundant PAHs with four aromatic rings. The majority of PAHs in sediment samples of both study areas originated from petrogenic sources, whereas the majority of PAHs in seawater samples originated from pyrogenic sources.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRI CORE BREASTFEEDING MODELS ON MOTHER’S SATISFACTION IN BREASTFEEDING


 
 
 
 The low rates of exclusive breastfeeding have effected the growth and the development of children. Some efforts to improve the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding have been conducted, like an education about breastfeeding, facilitating early breastfeeding initiation and providing motivation to mothers. These elements contain a form of health promotion care model called the Tri Core Breastfeeding Models. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Tri Core Breastfeeding Models on breastfeeding mothers' satisfaction. This research was conducted in the working area of the Sidomulyo Health Center in Pekanbaru City in August 2019 to April 2020. This research is Pre-experimental Design. The population in this study was all third trimester pregnant women. The sample of 20 pregnant women was taken by consecutive sampling technique with 10 pregnant women in the intervention and 10 pregnant women for control. The Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBFES) questionnaire was used to collect the data. The Mann Whitney Test with a significance level of 95% was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the average satisfaction of breastfeeding mothers in the intervention group was 134.80 (SD: 3.190) and the control group 119.10 (SD: 14.317), and it is found that there is a difference in breastfeeding satisfaction among mothers in the intervention group and the control group (p = 0.019). Finally, it is recommended that Tri Core Breastfeeding Models can be applied in providing midwifery care in the to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding
