Pulmonary agenesis is associated with the absence of pulmonary vessels, bronchi, or parenchyma. This condition usually occurs between the 4th and 5th week of gestation during the embryonic phase. Etiopathogenic factors associated with pulmonary agenesis are not fully understood. In the literature, genetic and teratogenic factors, viral infections, and vitamin-A deficiency are shown to be associated with pulmonary agenesis [Malcon 2012]. This condition may be seen unilaterally or bilaterally. Although the precise rate of incidence is unknown, it is estimated to occur in one of every 10,000 to 12,000 live births [Yetim 2011]. There is a 1.3:1 female predominance with unilateral agenesis [Halilbasic 2013]

Background: Like many developing countries, Senegal does not have data on the extent of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) that is representative of its population. The present survey was conducted to fill this gap and to identify factors associated with VAD, prior to the introduction of a large-scale vitamin A oil fortification program. Procedures: A nationwide representative cross-sectional survey involving 1887 children 12 to 59 months old and 1316 women of reproductive age (WRA) was conducted. Blood samples were collected and plasma concentrations of retinol (PR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha-1-acidglycoprotein were measured. PR was adjusted for subclinical inflammation using the BRINDA regression methodology. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with VAD. Findings: The adjusted prevalence of VAD (PR ≤ 0.7 μmol/L) in children was 15.3% and differed by age group, area of residence, and socioeconomic status and half of them had subclinical inflammation. Among WRA, VAD was low (2.3%) and 18.1% had vitamin A insufficiency (VAI). Pregnant women were more affected by VAI (28.4%) and Dakar had lower figures compared with other cities and rural strata. Prevalence of VAI decreased with increasing wealth quintile. In logistic regression, abnormal CRP, poverty, scarce consumption of poultry, oysters, melon, red palm oil, palm kernel oil, Saba senegalensis fruit pulp (Maad) and cowpea, frequent consumption of leeks and consumption of Leptadenia hastata leaves (Mbuum tiakhat), were associated with VAD in children. For women, lower socioeconomic status, fair or poor health status and anemia were negatively associated with VAI. Conclusions: In Senegal, VAD is a moderate public health problem in children and slight among women. Particular attention should be paid to children older than 23 months, pregnant women, rural populations, and poorest households. Nutritional interventions should be implemented alongside morbidity prevention and control. Keywords: vitamin A deficiency, children 12-59 months, women of reproductive age, Senegal.

Ada beberapa faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian ISPA diantaranya: asap rokok, umur anak, berat badan lahir, status gizi kurang, tidak memberikan ASI, riwayat imunisasi yang tidak lengkap, dan pemberian vitamin A. ISPA masih menjadi masalah utama kunjungan balita pelayanan kesehatan di Desa Tlatah, Purwosari, Bojonegoro. Purpose: Menentukan Faktor Risiko yang Berhubungan dengan Kejadian ISPA Pada Bayi Usia 0-2 Tahun Di Desa Tlatah, Purwosari, Bojonegoro. Metode: Jenis Penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan menggunakan rancangan Cross Sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 34 responden dari 42 responden yang mempunyai bayi usia 0-2 tahun. Hasil: Hasil penelitian ini dengan uji chi square menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan antara paparan asap rokok anggota keluarga dan status gizi anak dengan kejadian ISPA pada bayi usia 0-2 Tahun Di Desa Tlatah, Purwosari, Bojonegoro dengan nilai (p=0,001; RR=6.353; 95%CI=1.008-40.056) dan (p=0,000; RR=0.391; 95%CI=0.235-0.651). Kesimpulan: Oleh karena itu, diharapkan anggota keluarga memperhatikan kondisi anak dengan tidak melakukan perilaku yang tidak sehat sehingga keluarga dapat meningkatkan derajat kesehatan anak dan anggota keluarga lainnya.

Background. Child marriage is a major public health problem globally, and the prevalence remains high in sub-Saharan African countries, including Mali. There is a dearth of evidence about factors associated with child marriage in Mali. Hence, this studyaimed at investigating the individual/household and community-level factors associated with child marriage among women in Mali. Methods. Using data from the 2018 Mali Demographic and Health Survey, analysis was done on 8,350 women aged 18-49 years. A Chi-square test was used to select candidate variables for the multilevel multivariable logistic regression models. Fixed effects results weree xpressed as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) at 95% confidence intervals (CI). Stata version 14 software was used for the analysis. Results. The results showed that 58.2% (95% CI; 56.3%-60.0%) and 20.3% (95%; 19.0%-21.6%) of women aged 18-49 years were married before their 18th and 15th birthday, respectively. Educational status of women (higher education: aOR = 0.25 , 95% CI; 0.14-0.44), their partner’s/husband’s educational status (higher education: aOR = 0.64 , 95% CI; 0.47-0.87), women’s occupation (professional, technical, or managerial: aOR = 0.50 , 95% CI; 0.33-0.77), family size (five and above: aOR = 1.16 , 95% CI; 1.03-1.30), and ethnicity (Senoufo/Minianka: aOR = 0.73 , 95% CI; 0.58-0.92) were the identified individual/household level factors associated with child marriage, whereas region (Mopti: aOR = 0.27 , 95% CI; 0.19-0.39) was the community level factor associated with child marriage. Conclusions. This study has revealed a high prevalence of child marriage in Mali. To reduce the magnitude of child marriage in Mali, enhancing policies and programs that promote education for both girls and boys, creating employment opportunities, improving the utilization of family planning services, and sensitizing girls and parents who live in regions such as Kayes on the negative effects of child marriage is essential. Moreover, working with community leaders so as to reduce child marriage in the Bambara ethnic communities would also be beneficial.
