Abstract: When it comes to sexuality and norms, young Indonesians are becoming more open. Concern about this is related to the rapid increase in HIV prevalence in Indonesia, especially in Papua and West Papua Provinces. While much research has been conducted among youth who have left school, little is known about senior high school students' sexuality and sexual practices in these provinces. Using qualitative and quantitative data, we explore perspectives on and experiences of sexuality, contraceptive use, unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion among 1082 Year 11 students from 16 senior high schools in both provinces. Findings suggest that around 38.3% of students reported having had sexual intercourse and 36.5% of these having had their first sexual encounter before they were 15 years old. Furthermore, contraceptive use among sexually active students was very low. Around 32% of female students who reported having had sexual intercourse also reported having an unintended pregnancy and the majority of them had had unsafe abortions. The paper points to the implications of students' high-risk sexual behaviours for HIV prevention.

Abstract: The current provision for equipping young Indonesians with a comprehensive knowledge of reproductive health is inadequate. In Indonesian primary and secondary schools, reproductive health education is integrated into various subjects, including Science, Biology, Sport, and Health Education. In this paper, we compared the accuracy of the material related to reproductive health education to scientific evidence published in medical scientific journals or medical textbooks. Even though the schoolbooks were used in Indonesia's 2006 minimum standard requirements of subject matter (KTSP) curriculum, we found much inaccurate information that is not based on the scientific literature and unnecessarily detailed information on therapy and technology. Schoolbooks should emphasize promoting a healthy lifestyle, preventing high-risk sexual behaviors, encouraging openness and discussion about reproductive health in the family, improving self-confidence to refuse and avoid sexual harassment, encouraging positive sexual behaviors, and increasing awareness for treatment-seeking behavior.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The occurrence of febrile seizure is affected by numerous factors, but some studies indicated that inflammatory cytokines might contribute to the development of febrile seizure. In resource limited settings, complete blood count (CBC) might serve as potential indices for inflammatory response. AIM: The aim of the present study was to determine the role of mean platelet ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the risk of febrile seizures in children aged 6–24 months and 25–59 months at S.K. Lerik Regional Public Hospital in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. METHODS: A case-control study was carried out in 104 patients (52 in the case group and 52 in the control group) aged 6–59 months. The CBC tests were taken on the first visit in the emergency room at S.K. Lerik Regional Public Hospital. RESULTS: Our study found that the odds for experiencing febrile seizure in younger children aged 6–24 months were 3.281 (95% confidence interval 1.470, 7.324) times as large as the odds for older children aged 25–59 months. There was a significant but weak correlation between the types of febrile seizure or fever and age of children (r = 0.279 p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: Children aged 6–24 months had higher risk of developing febrile seizure, compared to children aged 25–59 months. Further, for each unit decrease in NLR, we expected a 0.883 decrease in the odds for febrile seizures in the case group, compared to control group.

Abstract: Late or untreated delayed speech can be a risk for social, emotional, behavioral and cognitive problems in adulthood. Delayed speech is associated with hearing loss, mental retardation, autism spectrum disorder (OSD), bilingualism, and lack of psychosocial stimuli. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of delayed speech with and without hearing loss in children aged six months until three years. Methods: This study used 872 medical records of delayed speech children aged six months until three years with and without hearing loss in 2017 until 2020 period at Jala Puspa RSPAL Dr. Ramelan, Surabaya. The presence or absence of hearing loss was examined using Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA), and the degree of hearing loss was examined using Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) test. Results: From a total of 872 medical records data studied, 558 (64.0%) were males and 314 (36.0%) were females. The majority (44.8%) of delayed speech children were from the two-year age group. There were 565 (64.8%) delayed speech children with hearing loss and 307 (35.2%) without hearing loss. Of those with hearing loss, 48.0% showed a profound degree. There was an increase in delayed speech children without hearing loss compared to those with hearing loss, from 1:2.04 in 2017 to 1:1.12 in 2020. Conclusion: There was an increase in delayed speech children without hearing loss compared to those with hearing loss.Keywords: ASSR, BERA, delayed speech, hearing loss

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in educational institutions across the country, prompting medical schools to adopt online learning systems. This study aims to determine impact on medical education and the medical student’s attitude, practice, mental health after 1 year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study utilized a cross-sectional design. An online questionnaire was distributed digitally to 49 medical schools in Indonesia from February–May 2021. A total of 7,949 medical students participated in this study. S ling was carried out based on a purposive technique whose inclusion criteria were active college students. This research used questionnaires distributed in online version among 49 medical faculties that belong to The Association of Indonesian Private Medical Faculty. Instruments included demographic database, medical education status, experience with medical tele-education, ownership types of electronic devices, availability of technologies, programs of education methods, career plans, attitudes toward pandemic, and the mental health of respondents. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis was conducted to determine the association of variables. All statistical analyses using (IBM) SPSS version 22.0. Most of the respondents were female (69.4%), the mean age was 20.9 ± 2.1 years. More than half of the respondents (58.7%) reported that they have adequate skills in using digital devices. Most of them (74%) agreed that e-learning can be implemented in Indonesia. The infrastructure aspects that require attention are Internet access and the type of supporting devices. The pandemic also has an impact on the sustainability of the education program. It was found that 28.1% were experiencing financial problems, 2.1% postponed their education due to this problems. The delay of the education process was 32.6% and 47.5% delays in the clinical education phase. Around 4% student being sick, self-isolation and taking care sick family. the pandemic was found to affect students’ interests and future career plans (34%). The majority of students (52.2%) are concerned that the pandemic will limit their opportunities to become specialists. Nearly 40% of respondents expressed anxiety symptoms about a variety of issues for several days. About a third of respondents feel sad, depressed, and hopeless for a few days. The infrastructure and competency of its users are required for E-learning to be successful. The majority of medical students believe that e-learning can be adopted in Indonesia and that their capacity to use electronic devices is good. However, access to the internet remains a problem. On the other side, the pandemic has disrupted the education process and mental health, with fears of being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the loss of opportunities to apply for specialty training, and the potential for increased financial difficulties among medical students. Our findings can be used to assess the current educational process in medical schools and maximize e-learning as an alternative means of preparing doctors for the future.

Abstract: Background: COVID–19 cases in children are not as prevalent as in adults and tend to be milder. However, clinical profiles in pediatric COVID–19 cases in Indonesia have not been extensively studied. This study aims to know clinical profiles of pediatric COVID–19 cases in dr. R. Soedarsono General Hospital Pasuruan City from April–July 2020. Methods: This descriptive study used medical records of pediatric patients who were diagnosed with suspected, probable, confirmed, and close contact with COVID – 19. Total populations with complete data in medical records were included in the study. Results: Of 78 respondents, 41 (53%) were male, 42 (54%) were hospitalized, 18 (23%) were 1 until under 12 months and 12 until under 18 years old consecutively, 32 (41%) had moderate symptoms, and 31 (39%) had close contact with positive cases at home. The most common symptoms were cough (59%) and fever (54%). Most cases showed normal laboratory and radiologic findings. There were eight children with comorbidities, and most patients showed satisfying outcomes. Conclusions: Most pediatric patients with COVID–19 at dr. R. Soedarsono General Hospital from April to July 2020 showed moderate symptoms with good outcomes.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Most attention and healthcare resources in Indonesia have been geared toward battling the coronavirus (CoV) disease (COVID)-19 pandemic, and less overture has been given to the looming risks of dengue that has been endemic in many areas of Indonesia. Despite related constraints, the Primary Health Cares (PHC) in Indonesia plays an important role in the face of emergency situations. AIM: This study aimed to review the dengue and COVID-19 infection, clinical manifestations in children and adults, clinical pathology findings, as well as the prevention strategies that could be applied in PHC. METHODS: This study is a narrative review based on the research articles and reports that were published between 2010 and 2020. A total of 70 articles and reports were obtained and after careful consideration, 58 articles and reports were used as references of this study. RESULTS: Both dengue virus (DENV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV (SARS-CoV-2) share the similarity of antigenic structure, common symptoms, and laboratory findings. The immune response in SARS-CoV-2 may cause a cytokine storm, which can increase vascular permeability and organ damage. Secondary infection of DENV with different strains may allow the occurrence of antibody-dependent enhancement. The cross-reactions between SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and DENV antigens may cause false positive on rapid dengue infection serological tests. CONCLUSION: PHC as the front line of health services has a fundamental role in the crisis situation. The prevention and control of DENV and SARS-CoV-2 infections are based on the mode of transmission and need compliance to the related health protocols.

Abstract: A case-control study was conducted to determine the association between plasma organochlorine levels and prostate cancer risk. Male clinic patients scheduled for prostate core biopsy or seeing their urologist for other conditions from 1997 through 1999 in Kingston, Ontario were eligible, excluding those with an earlier cancer. Age frequency matched controls (n=329) were compared with 79 incident prostate cancer cases. Before knowledge of diagnosis, the patients completed a questionnaire and donated 15 ml of blood for the measurement of 14 PCBs, and 13 organochlorine pesticides by gas chromatography. At least 70% of patients had detectable levels of nine PCB congeners and seven pesticides, and these chemicals were included in the risk analysis adjusted for total lipids. Geometric means for these PCB congeners, total PCBs, and p,p'-DDE are slightly lower for cases than controls, whereas the levels of p,p'-DDT and other pesticides are virtually equal. Adjusting for age and other confounders in multivariable logistic regression, odds ratios (ORs) are consistently below 1.0 for PCB congeners and total PCBs. For pesticides, most ORs are very close to the null. This study suggests that long-term low-level exposure to organochlorine pesticides and PCBs in the general population does not contribute to increased prostate cancer risk.
