Kasus diare terus meningkat di Kota Makassar sebanyak 23.334 kasus ditahun 2016. Balita menjadi kelompok yang rentan terhadap diare. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kontaminasi bakteri Escherichia coli pada botol susu dengan kejadian diare pada balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kaluku Bodoa Kota Makassar Tahun 2018. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasional dengan desain cross sectional study. Populasi adalah seluruh balita yang berada di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kaluku Bodoa. Sampel adalah balita yang memakai botol susu yang dipilih menggunakan teknik proportional random sampling, sebanyak 72 anak balita. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak dapat melihat hubungan Escherichia coli pada botol dikarenakan seluruh sampe terdapat Escherichia coli dan tidak memenuhi  syarat,  sedangkan pada proses  pencucian (p=0.007), penyimpanan botol (p=0.041), menyiapkan botol (p=0.100), penyediaan air bersih (p=0.904), kebiasaan cuci tangan pakai sabun (p=0.229). Kesimpulan dari penelitian bahwa tidak dapat melihat perbandingan Escherichia coli pada botol susu dikarenakan seluruh sample terdapat bakteri E.coli. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pencucian dan  menyiapkan botol susu dengan kejadian diare pada balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kaluku Bodoa Kota Makassar Tahun 2018. Penelitian ini menyarankan agar para ibu atau wali anak lebih memperhatikan cara pencucian botol susu dan  penyiapan botol susu. Diarrhea cases continue to increase in Makassar City as many as 23,334 cases in 2016. Toddlers are a group that is vulnerable to diarrhea. This study aims to determine the contamination of Escherichia coli bacteria in milk bottles with the incidence of diarrhea in infants in the working area of ​​Kaluku Bodoa Public Health Center Makassar City in 2018. The type of research used was observational with a cross sectional study design. The population is all children under five in the working area of ​​Kaluku Bodoa Health Center. Samples are toddlers who use milk bottles selected using proportional random sampling technique, as many as 72 children under five. The results showed that there was no relationship between Escherichia coli on the bottle because all Escherichia coli was present and did not meet the requirements, whereas in the washing process (p = 0.007), storage of bottles (p = 0.041), preparing bottles (p = 0.100), provision clean water (p = 0.904), handwashing habits with soap (p = 0.229). The conclusion from the study that can not see the comparison of Escherichia coli in milk bottles because all samples contained E.coli bacteria. There is a significant relationship between washing and preparing milk bottles with the incidence of diarrhea in infants in the working area of ​​the Kaluku Bodoa Public Health Center Makassar City in 2018. This study suggests that mothers or guardians of children pay more attention to how to wash bottles and prepare milk bottles.

Abstract BackgroundSouth Africa has a persistent burden of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Male circumcision has been shown to be effective in preventing HIV, and STIs but data are scarce on the protective effect of circumcision in high-risk populations such as migrant miners. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of medical and traditional circumcision on the prevalence of STIs after adjusting for other risk factors in Rustenburg, a mining town in North West Province, South Africa.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used baseline data collected from a cohort study. Adult males in a mining town were assessed for STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis) using syndromic assessment. Data on circumcision status and other risk factors for STIs were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Multivariable log binomial regression was used to assess the independent effect of circumcision on STI presence after adjusting for confounders.ResultsA total of 339 participants with a median age of 25 years (IQR 22-29) were included in the study, of whom 116 (34.2%) were circumcised. The overall STIs prevalence was 27.4% (95% CI 22.8% to 32.6%) and was lower in the circumcised participants compared with those who were uncircumcised (15.5% vs 33.6%, respectively, p<0.001). Both medical (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34-0.95, p = 0.030) and traditional circumcision (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13-0.86, p = 0.022) were strongly associated with a lower risk of STIs after adjustment for employment and condom use. ConclusionIn this high-risk population, with a relatively high prevalence of STIs, and where one third of males are circumcised, both medical and traditional circumcision appear to be protective against STIs.

Abstract Background: In the world as in North Africa, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are a public health problem especially for reproductive-age women. Since the quantification of the prevalence of STIs is important for the planning of interventions and the promotion of resources, it is necessary to have current data to evaluate the situation in the Maghreb and to give the answer as to the possibility of reaching the desired WHO goal of ending STIs epidemics as a public health concerns by 2030.The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and trend of STIs during 11 years in Tunisia (2007-17). Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study including all women with STIs diagnosed with the syndromic approach in all basic health care centers of the Governorate of Monastir (Tunisia) from 2007 to 2017. Syndromes included, Pelvic Pain (PP), Vaginal Discharge (VD) and Genital Ulceration (GU). Results: We analyzed 40388 cases of genital infection with a crude prevalence rate and age standardized prevalence rate of 13.93/ 1000 inh and 72.38/ 1000 respectively. The prevalence rate was relatively high and showed a positive trend over 11 years for all age groups and syndromes. VD was the most common syndrome with a CPR of 11.7/1000. For all syndromes, women of childbearing age (20 to 39 years) were the most affected age group (p <0.05). Conclusion:Our results were consistent with the global evidence, suggesting a focus on primary prevention reinforcement and STIs surveillance system improving in North Africa countries to achieve the World health organization goal of ending STIs epidemics by 2030.

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of medical and traditional circumcision on the prevalence of STIs after adjusting for other risk factors in Rustenburg, a mining town in North West Province, South Africa. Methods This cross-sectional study used baseline data collected from a cohort study. Adult males in a mining town were assessed for STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis) using syndromic assessment. Data on circumcision status and other risk factors for STI syndromes were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The following symptoms were assessed; penile discharge, painful urination, dyspareunia or penile sores. These symptoms indicate sexually transmitted infection in general since laboratory tests were not performed. Multivariable log binomial regression was used to assess the independent effect of circumcision on STI presence after adjusting for confounders. Results A total of 339 participants with a median age of 25 years (IQR 22–29) were included in the study, of whom 116 (34.2%) were circumcised. The overall STIs prevalence was 27.4% (95% CI 22.8 to 32.6%) and was lower in the circumcised participants compared with those who were uncircumcised (15.5% vs 33.6%, respectively, p < 0.001). Both medical (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34–0.95, p = 0.030) and traditional circumcision (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13–0.86, p = 0.022) were strongly associated with a lower risk of STIs after adjustment for employment and condom use. Conclusion In this high-risk population in a mining town in South Africa, with a relatively high prevalence of STIs, and where one third of males are circumcised, both medical and traditional circumcision appear to be protective against STIs.

ABSTRACT More than 80.0% maternal deaths occured in hospital in Surabaya between 2012-2014. Most of them who died in hospital were referral patients from midwife, private clinics, and public health centers. This study assessed the effectiveness of maternal referral system based on perspective of public health centers and hospitals in Surabaya. This was a descriptive cross sectional study. Samples were 43 public health centers in Surabaya and two main referral destination hospitals. Data was collected by interviewing one representative midwife in each public health center and hospital. This study showed that a total of 81.4% health centers assess that maternal referral system in Surabaya District was quite effective. While, one of the hospital assessed quite effective, and the other assessed less effective. The reason was because public health centers difficulty to contacting hospitals about referral, hospitals often rejected referral case, pregnant women often do self-referral to hospital, and incompatibility referral reason by most of public health centers. So it was necessary to repair maternal referral system at Surabaya based on identification of each variables in effectiveness of maternal referral system.Keywords: effectiveness, hospitals, maternal refferal system, public health center
