Health is always an important value for human beings and the most fundamental condition of life. Health is perceived differently influenced by many factors including education, experience, knowledge, culture, and environment. The study aimed to explore community perception of health, including causes of diseases, and choices of help for health problems in rural setting in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study is a qualitative ethnography with several data collection methods including semi structured in-depth interviews, small group discussion, informal conversations, photography, and direct observation. Study location was in Bangkurung sub-district. The study found that health is perceived as a power, energy, normal physiology of human body, and ability to work normally. Participants understood and believed that health is influenced by many factors including environment, food, lifestyle, social interaction and the rise of megycism, traditionally prohibited behaviors, religious belief, mind, and workload. Community members commonly used both medical treatment and traditional healing methods.
MethodsThis is a prospective study of patients hospitalized in the neurology department of Fann. Were included patients who had neurological manifestations during or following an COVID-19 infection defined by a positive PCR or a recent infection with ELISA serology or typical chest imaging. ResultsWe collected 9 patients (6 men and 3 women), aged 7 to 80 years. Diagnoses were: 3 encephalitis, 4 polyradiculoneuritis, 1 hemorrhagic stroke and 1 chorea. 4 patients had comorbidities. The delay for neurological signs appearance was 11.1 days. A nasal swab was positive on 5/8 patients. Antibodies were found in all 3 negative patients. The LCR study showed hyperproteinorrachia in 7/9 patients. 5 patients underwent CT chest scan, showing ground glass opacities. Brain imaging was normal in 3 and pathological in 2, showing a parietal temporo hematoma fx1 in one and mesencephalic and parietal hypersignal in the other fx2 50% of patients with polyradiculoneuritis had an ENMG that showed an AIDP. One patient had an electroencephalogram that showed an overall slowing of the pattern with diffuse pseudoperiodic complexes fx3. Evolution was good for 6 patients but we noticed 3 deaths. ConclusionsNeurological manifestations most often occur in post-infection. The creation of a multidisciplinary team will allow a better understanding of the sequel as of patients with COVID-19.
The review of the seismogenic zone characteristics associated with the earthquake rupture process in the Sumatra Subduction Zone has been carried out by various methods. This zone has experienced several major earthquakes; Aceh 2004 Mw=9,1, Nias-Simeulue 2005 Mw=8,6, Bengkulu 2007 Mw=8,5, and Enggano 2000 Mw=7,9. This study focuses on the relationship between density contrast analysis based on gravity data from the GOCE satellite and the slip distribution in four major earthquake rupture zones. Satellite gravity data processing is carried out to obtain data for Gravity disturbance (Gd) and vertical gravity derivatives (Tzz), corrected by topography and sediment effects with different spectrum decomposition to get gravity maps with different depths. Based on the Tzz analysis, the maximum slip of the earthquake rupture is correlated with the minimum Tzz pattern and low-density contrast. In contrast, the rupture ends at the maximum Tzz pattern and high-density contrast. Tzz pattern and Gravity disturbance can describe the barrier and asperity of the Sumatra subduction zone. The schematic maps portray the seismic segmentation of Sumatra Subduction, which have asperities zone along the subduction strike associated with the minimum Tzz and associated with the forearc zone, as well as the barrier related to the maximum Tzz, which is a manifestation of structures (fracture zone and seamount) that are subducted to the oceanic plate.
Resistensi antimikroba merupakan ancaman kesehatan masyarakat dunia. Dampak kesehatan masyarakat akibat Salmonella semakin diperberat dengan munculnya resistensi antimikroba. Untuk membantu mengetahui resistensi antibiotik terhadap Salmonella thypi, dilakukan literatur review dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan prevalensi resistensi antibiotik. Data yang digunakan merupakan data yang diambil bersumber dari PubMed, NCBI, Sciense Direct, Google Schoolar. Hasil pencarian menggunakan database ditemukan 28 jurnal dan kemudian diseleksi. Hasil seleksi diperoleh 12 jurnal yang dijadikan sampel dalam penelitian ini. Pengendalian Salmonella thypi (penyebab Demam Tifoid) dapat dilaksanakan melalui sistem surveilens yang diterapkan secara konsisten memantau secara longitudinal dan mengevaluasi resistensi serta konsekuensinya dalam bidang pencegahan kesehatan masyarakat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
