Background: HIV/AIDS is a major problem in many countries. Antiretroviral (ARV) has become the solution for preventing the pandemic disease. This research aimed to find out risk factors, which affected the HIV/AIDS patients adherence to the antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. The research took place at RSUD Abepura in Jayapura.Method: The research applied an analytical observational design with a case control, which was supported by qualitative data. There were 86 respondents involved, consisting of 43 case and 43 control respondents. Samples collection used a Simple Random Sampling. Instruments used for this study were questioners and indepth interviews. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses using a chi-square test. In addition, it also performed a multivariate analysis using logistic regression test.Results: The research found three risk factors that affected the HIV/AIDS patients adherence to ARV: occupation (p = 0.005; OR = 4.472; 95% CI = 1.633-12.245), inaccessibility to health care center (p = 0.008; OR = 3.675; 95% CI = 1.476-9.146), lacking family supports (p=0.013; OR =3.606; 95% CI = 1.398-9.146). Other factors, sex, age, knowledge, apathetic manner,side-effect history, therapeutic tenure, ethnic background, counseling personnel, health care provider attitude, religious approach, alternative medicine intake, and herbal medicine use, did not have significant affects.Conclusion: Factors that affected the ARV therapy adherence were occupation, inaccessibility to health care center, and lacking family supports.

Typhoid is a life-threatening disease that has remained endemic in parts of Africa and Asia where its burden is elevated by the inefficiency of control efforts which have been hampered by lack of epidemiological data, among others. In Nigeria, such data is absent in most of the States like Gombe where the disease has been rife for a long time, hence, to bridge that knowledge gap, this study was set up to determine the host-associated risk factors for typhoid occurrence and recurrence in Gombe. A questionnaire that was designed and validated for this location was used to obtain data from 663 respondents using simple random sampling and analyzed using the Chi-square test for association and binomial logistic regression to obtain risk factors for typhoid occurrence and recurrence, respectively. The study revealed that occurrences were statistically significantly associated with the variables for vaccination (χ2 = 39.729, p < 0.01), having houseboy/girl (χ2 = 16.909, p < 0.01), typhoid patient at home (χ2 = 13.393, p < 0.01), hand washing before handling food (χ2 = 22.856, p < 0.01), consuming iced/frozen items (χ2 = 16.805, p < 0.01), boiling drinking water (χ2 = 49.633, p < 0.01), and eating commercially available foods/drinks (χ2 = 27.864, p < 0.01), while recurrences were statistically significantly predicted by „not sure of been vaccinated‟ (OR = 2.962, CI = 1.290 to 6.802, p < 0.01), „not having another typhoid patient at home‟ (OR = 1.799, CI = 0.998 to 3.244, p < 0.01), and „drinking unboiled water sometimes‟ (OR = 2.130, CI = 1.023 to 4.434, p < 0.01). It is believed that these findings will guide efforts by the Government for health interventions against typhoid in the study area, thus improving the quality of life for the population.

Background: Foot ulcers may be complicated to toe amputation or limb amputation which can be prevented by patient education on self-management and appropriate foot care procedures. Study Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the awareness of diabetic foot and its risk factors among the general population of Arar city, Northern Saudi Arabia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in primary health care centers in Arar, Northern Saudi Arabia, during the period from 1st September to 10th October 2021. Data was collected by personal interview with the attendees of the primary health care center, using a predesigned questionnaire. Results: Almost 60% of participants have knowledge about diabetic foot. The Source of information about diabetic foot was doctors and nurses in 13% and 11.9% social media in our study population. 62.7% know that diabetic foot risk may be reduced by controlling blood sugar level, 13% by checking the feet every day and several times a day, and 9.2% reported wearing shoes and socks on a daily basis. 65.6%, 66.7%, 48.4%, 82.6% and 62.1% knew that skin infections, foot abscess, bone infections, gangrene, and foot deformity are complications of diabetic foot respectively. Good knowledge of diabetic foot was significantly associated with age and educational level but not with marital status. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of diabetic foot and its related complications is relatively average. Due to the high incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Saudi Arabia, it is vital that the population has appropriate information and awareness about this illness to enable continued promotion of public health measures to limit its prevalence. It is also crucial for DM patients to understand the medication and lifestyle modifications that may enable them to better regulate their blood glucose and prevent the complications.

AbstractCorona virus also known as 2019 novel corona virus, a single stranded positive sense RNA virus is the causative agent of COVID 19 disease. It mainly spreads via the respiratory route by means of aerosols. The objectives of our study were. To know the prevalence of ENT presentations in COVID 19 patients and to know the relationship between the symptoms and category of the disease as well as to know the relation between the blood group and recovery from the disease. The first 500 patients who were tested positive for COVID 19 and getting treated in our hospital were included in the study after taking written informed consent from the patients who were willing to participate in the study. A detailed history was taken from all the patients and more stress was given on the ENT symptoms with respect to its onset, duration and time taken for the relief of symptoms. The ENT symptoms were compared with the category of the disease as well as the blood group of the patients. Statistical analysis was done using Chi square test and Statistical Package for Social Sciences [SPSS] for Windows Version 22.0 Released 2013. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp., was used to perform statistical analyses. In our study 310 (62.0%) were males and 190 (38.0%) patients were females (38%), of age group ranging from 2 years to 87 years. In our study 367 (73.3%) patients were symptomatic and the rest 133 (26.6%) were asymptomatic. There were 335 (67.0%) patients in category A, 140 (28.0%) in category B and 25 (5.0%) in category C. The most common ENT presentation was headache and its prevelance was more in category C and it was of statistical significance. On comparing the blood group and the ENT symptoms occurrence of sore throat was of statistical significance and its prevelance was more among the O blood group patients. In terms of recovery from the disease the patients with blood group O had good recovery rate. Covid 19 pandemic is still an on going problem and newer strains of the virus are arising as well hence. In our study we found out that isolated ENT symptoms such as aguesia and anosmia were the only presentation of the disease. Thus they can be considered as early marker of the disease and it will be helpful in early detection and isolation of the patient as well as prevention of further spread of the disease.

Background: Injecting drug users (IDUs) are play role of high risk of HIV infection due to sexual behaviors that do not use condoms and use of unsterile needles. The high productive age group affected by HIV/AIDS and death, then the lower life expectancy, availability and productivity of the workforce. The purpose of the study proved that individual and environmental factors are risk factors for the incidence of HIV / AIDS among injecting drug users.Method: This observational analytic study, with the design of the case control study equipped with a qualitative approach of risk factors retrospectively. The target population of the study were IDUs in Pontianak with a sample of 96 people consisting of 48 cases of HIV/AIDS and 48 were IDUs not control HIV/AIDS. The sampling method is non-probability sampling study with consecutive sampling manner. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate using chi- square test and multivariate logistic regression test.Results: Multivariate analysis of four variables associated with the incidence of HIV/AIDSamong IDUs is married status (OR = 5,57), had sexual intercourse more than two people (OR =4,13), frequency of injecting drugs > 6 time / week yet (OR = 3,71), and not / do not work (OR= 3,28)Conclusion: Risk factors were shown to influence: the married status, had sexual intercourse more than ≥ 2 people, frequency of injecting drugs > 6 times / week and not/do not work yet.
