“…Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Human papillomavirus (HPV)) can have profound, lasting, and permanent implications for affected young people. 14 Usually, STIs among men are asymptomatic until later stages because the current recommendations do not include screening asymptomatic adolescent males for STIs, focusing instead on sexually active women, men who have sex with men, drug users, and prisoners. 15 Prevent STIs is important because it may bring more serious long-term and life-threatening complications, including cancers, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortions, stillbirth, low birth weight, neurologic damage, and death.…”

Introduction Telehealth interventions to advance adolescent sexual health have evolved and are being used to promote adolescent sexual health knowledge and healthy sexual behaviors. However, as this area of intervention modality expands, there is a need to pause and examine the effects of telehealth interventions on adolescent sexual health outcomes. Addressing this knowledge gap will inform researchers and practitioners on the current state of evidence of telehealth interventions and inform further intervention development and testing. This study aimed to explore the meta-effects of telehealth interventions on self-efficacy of using condoms, condom use practices, and sexually transmitted infection testing behaviors among adolescents. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were conducted. Seven databases (Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, OVID (UpToDate), and Web of Science) were searched for relevant full-text articles from the inception to May 2021. The revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model to calculate the pooled effects of telehealth interventions for adolescents. Stata 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 15 studies ( N = 5499) that used telehealth interventions with adolescents were included in the analysis. Telehealth interventions were found to increase self-efficacy for condom use (standardized mean difference: 0.22; 95% confidence interval: 0.08–0.36), practice for condom use (standardized mean difference: 0.35; 95% confidence interval: 0.23–0.47), and being screened/tested for sexual transmitted infections (standardized mean difference: 0.61; 95% confidence interval: 0.31–0.92). Discussion Telehealth interventions show promise as effective intervention delivery solutions for improving self-efficacy and certain sexual health behaviors among adolescents. These telehealth strategies could be important alternatives to in-person visits to accessing sexual health information or services near where they live. Future research should consider testing telehealth strategies where there is evidence of impact to move the field forward.

Amputation trauma due to burns is a conflict wound that is very emotionally disturbing, as is often shown on social media and on the small screen to illustrate war, but there are also unintentional events that occur in adolescents that cause burns due to electric shock. The purpose of this paper is to explain the psychiatric aspects and the role of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (CLP) in Traumatic Amputation Due to Electrical Burns in Adolescents so that it becomes a consideration in the selection of psychotherapy and therapy for patients. In this case report, an IPWS patient, male, 13 years old, was treated in the Burn Unit, 2nd floor, bed 2. The patient was consulted by a Plastic Surgery colleague at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar. Autoanamnesis data was obtained at the first examination, and the patient followed up during treatment with complaints of feeling sad due to the condition of the wound. The patient complains of sadness and guilt for not obeying his parents' advice not to fly kites in the field, sadness comes and goes, sometimes cries when he remembers and now he feels sad and sorry, he also wants to get well soon and be able to do activities.

“…Hepatitis B, trichomoniasis, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, herpes simplex viruses, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are STIs that are frequently spread during teenage sexual contact. Vertical transmission of these STIs can cause injury to the fetus [ 19 , 20 ]. Due to a lack of early sex education, adolescents are noticeably more vulnerable to STIs.…”

Teenage pregnancy may have a huge negative social and medical influence on mothers' and children's health globally. Compared to adult primigravida, young women experience more harmful perinatal problems, such as premature births, neonatal fatalities and stillbirths, and the delivery of children with low birth weight. With negative perinatal outcomes, in India, teenage pregnancy is still a widespread and important public health issue that needs urgent attention. One of the main causes of mortality for females between the ages of 15 and 19 is pregnancy and delivery problems. The health of young women in India is, therefore, seriously threatened by adolescent pregnancies. Neonatal and maternal difficulties are more common when a teen gets pregnant. To bring about change, avert problems, and lower the risk of maternal death, specialized antenatal care (ANC) and health education are crucial. In India, teenage pregnancy is very high. To prevent this, there is a need to focus on teenage education regarding safe sexual practices and pregnancy complications.
