Tingkat kepadatan jentik merupakan indikasi diketahuinya kepadatan nyamuk Aedes sp yang akan menularkan virus dengue sebagai penyebab penyakit demam berdarah dengue (DBD) dan juga sebagai salah satu indikator keberhasilan kegiatan pengendalian vektor. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui karakteristik tempat penampungan air (TPA) dan perbedaan kepadatan jentik House Index, Container Index, Breatau Index (HI, CI, BI) di Kelurahan Alak sebagai daerah endemis dan Kelurahan Belo sebagai daerah bebas DBD di Kota Kupang Tahun 2011. Penelitian observasional analitik ini menggunakan rancangan studi potong lintang. Variabel penelitian adalah jenis, kondisi, letak, bahan TPA dan kepadatan jentik Aedes sp. Data dikumpulkan dengan observasi langsung pada TPA dan rumah terpilih. Data disajikan dalam bentuk tabel kemudian dianalisis dengan uji-t. Penelitian ini menemukan TPA positif jentik paling banyak adalah TPA untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari, kondisi TPA tidak tertutup rapat, letak TPA di luar rumah, bahan TPA adalah bahan keramik, dan warna TPA adalah warna putih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai dari HI 0,887, CI 0,146 dan BI 0,080, yang artinya tidak ada perbedaan kepadatan jentik antara Kelurahan Alak (daerah endemis) dengan Kelurahan Belo (daerah bebas). Disimpulkan tidak ada perbedaan kepadatan jentik (HI, CI, dan BI) antara daerah endemis dan daerah bebas DBD. Kedua daerah sama-sama memiliki tingkat kepadatan jentik yang tinggi, sehingga disarankan pemberantasan sarang nyamuk tidak hanya diprioritaskan pada daerah endemis DBD tetapi juga daerah daerah bebas DBD. Water Container and the Aedes sp. Larvae Density in Endemic and Free Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever The larva density is an indication of the density of Aedes sp known to be capable of transmitting the dengue virus as the cause of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and also as one of the indicators of the success of vector control activities. This study aimed to determine the difference of the water container container characteristics and the larvae density (HI, CI, BI) in Alak village as an endemic area and in Belo Village as a free area of dengue in Kupang Municipality. This analytic observational study using cross sectional study design. Observed variables were the type, the condition, the location, the material of water container and also the larvae density. Data collected by direct observation in water container and house. Data presented in tables were analyzed by t-test. This study found positive larvae at most container is for everyday need, on not sealed condition, in outside the home, and in a ceramic material. The study also found the value of HI is 0.887, CI is 0.146 and BI is 0.080. It means that larvae density between Alak and Belo Village is not different. The conclusion is that there is no difference in the larvae density (HI, CI, and BI) between endemic area and free area of DHF. The two regions have the same high level of larvae density, so it is advisable that mosquito eradication is not only priority in endemic areas but also in dengue-free areas.

Objective: To investigate the uptake and vaccination willingness of the COVID-19 vaccine among Chinese residents and analyze the difference and factors that impact vaccination. Methods: The snowball sampling method was used to distribute online questionnaires. Relevant sociodemographic data along with the circumstances of COVID-19 vaccination were collected from the respondents. The χ2 test, independent samples t test and binary logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Among 786 respondents, 84.22% had been vaccinated. Over 80% of the vaccinated population have completed all the injections because of supporting the national vaccination policies of China, while the unvaccinated population (23.91%) is mainly due to personal health status. Meanwhile, statistical analysis revealed that the main predictors of not being vaccinated were younger age (3 to 18 years old), personal health status, and lower vaccinated proportion of family members and close friends (p < 0.05). Conclusions: There was a high level of uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine in China, and people who have not been vaccinated generally had a low willingness to vaccinate in the future. Based on our results, it suggested the next work to expand the coverage of the COVID-19 vaccination should be concentrated on targeted publicity and education for people who have not been vaccinated.

Background: As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, the fear of infection increases and, with it, the stigma-discrimination, which makes it an additional problem of the epidemic. However, studies about stigma associated with coronavirus are scarce worldwide. Aims: To determine the association between stigmatisation and fear of COVID-19 in the general population of Colombia. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 1,687 adults between 18 and 76 years old ( M = 36.3; SD = 12.5), 41.1% health workers, filled out an online questionnaire on Stigma-Discrimination and the COVID-5 Fear Scale, adapted by the research team. Results: The proportion of high fear of COVID-19 was 34.1%; When comparing the affirmative answers to the questionnaire on stigma-discrimination towards COVID-19, it was found that the difference was significantly higher in the general population compared to health workers in most of the questions evaluated, which indicates a high level of stigmatisation in that group. An association between high fear of COVID-19 and stigma was evidenced in 63.6% of the questions in the questionnaire. Conclusion: Stigma-discrimination towards COVID-19 is frequent in the Colombian population and is associated with high levels of fear towards said disease, mainly people who are not health workers.

Background: Dengue infection has become endemic in Bangladesh since it hasbeen broken out in June 2000. Although children are the usual victim of dengueinfection, there is paucity of published data regarding dengue infection in children inour country.Objectives: This study was designed to document the presenting features and outcomeof Dengue infection in children.Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was done among the childrenhaving Dengue infection. Fifty four consecutive patients were enrolled. Purposivesampling was done. In every patient a detailed history was taken. Clinical examinationsand relevant investigations were done. Data were collected in a predesigned structuredquestionnaire. Data were analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics and Chisquare(x2) Test.Results: The mean age of the patients was 6.5±3.5 years with equal male and femaleratio. Among 54 patients, 40.7% presented with dengue fever (DF), the rest (59.3%)presented with dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). Most of the patients presented withhigh grade continued type of fever (75.9%), followed by abdominal pain (59.3%),vomiting (57.4%). Itchy rash and fever were the most important characteristic signs(75.9% each). Flushed appearance observed in 68.4% and 59.3% patients showedbleeding manifestation of which sub-conjunctival haemorrage was the commonestform (33.3%). Leucopenia were present in only 9.3% of the patients. Platelet countless than 100×109/L were found in 68.5% patients. Tourniquet test was positive in31.5% of cases. All of the patients had packed cell volume (PCV) less than 45%.Raised serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was observed in 40.7% of children.IgM and/or IgG antibodies for dengue virus were positive in 96.29% patients. Majority(94%) of the patients completely recovered from the disease and only 6% died.Conclusion: High grade continued fever, vomiting with abdominal pain and itchy skinrash (with normal platelet count) were the presenting features. Commonest form ofbleeding manifestation was subconjunctival haemorrhage. Bleeding manifestationhad a significant association with the degree of thrombocytopenia but no corelationwas observed with tourniquet test positivity.Key words: Dengue fever (DF); dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF); paediatric.DOI: 10.3329/bjch.v33i2.5678Bangladesh Journal of Child Health 2009; Vol.33(2): 55-58

Objective. To determine infant sleeping position/place and the factors associated with them in South-eastern Nigeria.Methods. this is a cross-sectional study on infant sleeping environment. Subjects were the mother/ infant pairs that attended the well baby clinics at the Institute of Child Health of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu (ICH-UNTH), Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital (MCSH), Enugu and the Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital (EBSUTH), Abakaliki.Results. Lying on the side was the most common (51.1%) and the least stable sleeping position. Only 36.6% of infants who slept in that position were likely to be found in the same position the following morning; lying supine was the most stable (74.1%). The difference in stability of sleeping positions was statistically significant (). Twenty six point seven percent of the mothers routinely lay their infants in prone position. On logistic regression, maternal parity was the only factor that was predictive of nonprone sleeping position (). Bed sharing, though common (66.9%), was more among the experienced () and less educated mothers ().Conclusion. There is a high level of prone sleeping position and bed sharing among infants in this study site. The potential consequences of these are unclear. There is therefore a need to conduct local studies to clarify its implication.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) patients in Indonesia reached 129,650 cases with a death toll of 1,071 people in 2015. DHF puts an economic burden on the community and government. This study aims to determine the difference in real cost tariffs and INA CBG's for DHF in a hospital in Sidoarjo, East Java. This cross-sectional study applied a descriptive design, conducted from January to December 2019. The data in this study consisted of characteristic data and differences in real hospital tariffs and INA CBG tariffs for DHF in the hospital treatment room. 625 hospitalized cases were included in this study. This hospital underwent a deficit (loss) of 30% from the difference between the total INA CBG's package tariffs and the total real hospital tariffs in 2019. There is a negative difference between the real hospital tariffs and the tariffs according to INA CBG's in the treatment of dengue fever in a hospital in Sidoarjo which produces losses for the hospital.

Background: Schizophrenia is associated with a high familial, social and economic burden. Schizophrenia is also associated with a high level of disability which may create impediments on the social and economic areas of the patients as well as on their respective family networks. Families with schizophrenia may encounter problems such as impairment of health and well being of other family members, restriction of social activities of the family members and shrinking of support from the social network. Aims: The present study examined the difference in perceived social support and burden of care between the male and female caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study examining the difference in perceived social support and burden of care between the male and female caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. The sample consisted of 60 (30 male and 30 female) caregivers of the patients with the diagnosis of schizophrenia as per ICD-10-DCR. Results and Conclusion: This study revealed that male caregivers perceived more social support and less burden of care as compared to female caregivers. Key words: Gender, social support, burden

Background: According to the new classification criteria developed by The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society, patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) can be classified in 2 subgroups: Patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis: ankylosing spondylitis patients (AS) and those with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA). Objective: The aim of the present study is to describe and discuss the differences and similarities between the two subgroups. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a single rheumatology hospital in Morocco. These included patients diagnosed as having axial spondyloarthritis according to ASAS criteria 2010, during a period of 6 years. The AS and the nr-axSpA subgroups were compared for the various axSpA-related variables. Results: Of the 277 patients with a diagnosis of axial SpA who were included in this study, 160 had AS and 117 had nr-axSpA. AS and nr-ax-SpA shared a similar age at diagnosis, similar prevalence of low back pain, lumbar stiffness, extra-articular manifestations, BASDAI and BASFI. In the multivariate analysis, AS patients were mainly male with cervical stiffness, enthesitis, coxitis and high level of ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). The females generally had a family history of SpA and arthritis and were associated to the nr-axSpA form in the univariate analysis. Conclusion: This was the first study to characterise patients with AS and nr-axSpA in Morocco. Consistent with other studies published, this study showed that patients with nr-axSpA and patients with AS shared a comparable degree of disease burden.
