Malaria is a vector borne disease and is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In general, the prevalence of malaria parasites differed between age and sex with the highest prevalence occurring in children and women. This study uses secondary data from the Lubuklinggau City Health Office in 2015 - 2018. The number of malaria cases in Lubuklinggau City has decreased during 2015 - 2018. Most cases of malaria occur in women. The distribution of malaria cases was highest in the age group 15 - 64 years and there were still cases in children aged 0 - 5 years. The most common type of Plasmodium found is Plasmodium vivax. To maintain malaria elimination, Lubuklinggau City must eliminate indigenous cases and improve treatment management and management of malaria cases.

Uganda government and development partners have engaged in various communication activities and programs with a view to change people’s behaviors regarding malaria, mobilize communities and create an enabling environment for sound health practices. However, malaria has remained one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in Uganda. All players in the communications effort against malaria had a goal of reducing malaria-related mortality and morbidity by 70% by 2015. It was not clear whether this was achieved since another strategic objective proposed in 2015 was that at least 85% of the population should undertake correct practices in malaria prevention and treatment by 2017.

Abstrak Batu empedu merupakan penyakit yang banyak ditemukan di Indonesia. Analisis komposisi batu empedu penting untuk mengetahui penyebab, dasar metabolisme pembentukannya, faktor risiko, serta untuk edukasi diet terhadap pasien. Komposisi batu empedu tersebut dapat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor termasuk usia dan jenis kelamin. Sampai saat ini belum terdapat data analisis komposisi dan distribusi batu empedu di Jakarta. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis komposisi dan distribusi batu empedu yang dihubungkan dengan usia dan jenis kelamin. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross-sectional menggunakan 230 data sekunder hasil analisis komposisi batu empedu di Laboratorium Biokimia dan Biologi Molekuler FKUI dalam periode 3 tahun terakhir (tahun 2017 – 2019). Analisis batu dilakukan dengan uji Salkowski untuk menilai kolesterol serta uji kalsium, karbonat, Fe, pigmen empedu, dan fosfat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa batu empedu sebesar 1,3% merupakan batu murni dan 98,7% merupakan batu campuran. Komposisi terbanyak pada batu campuran yaitu kolesterol (83,91%). Batu empedu paling banyak ditemukan pada perempuan kelompok usia 40—49 tahun (27%). Terdapat hubungan komposisi kolesterol dengan usia (p<0,05) namun tidak terdapat hubungan (p>0,05) dengan jenis kelamin (p>0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini yaitu kolesterol merupakan penyusun komposisi batu empedu yang terbanyak yang berhubungan dengan usia, namun tidak berhubungan dengan jenis kelamin. Kata kunci: Batu Empedu, Distribusi, Komposisi, Kolesterol Abstract Gallstones are a disease that is commonly found in Indonesian. Analysis of the composition of gallstones is important to determine the etiology, the metabolic basis of its formation, risk factors, and to educate for the patient's diet. The composition of gallstones can be influenced by various factors including age and sex. Until now there is no data analysis of the composition and distribution of gallstones in Jakarta. Thus, this study aims to analyze the composition and distribution of gallstones that are associated with age and sex. This study is a cross-sectional study using 230 secondary data from the analysis of the composition of gallstones in the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of FMUI in the last 3 years period (2017 - 2019). Stone analysis was carried out with the Salkowski test to assess cholesterol and also calcium, carbonate, Fe, bile pigment, and phosphate assays. The results showed that 1.3% gallstones were pure stones and 98.7% were mixed stones. The most composition in mixed stones is cholesterol (83.91%). Gallstones are most commonly found in women in the age group of 40-49 years (27%). There is a correlation between cholesterol composition with age (p <0.05) but there is no relationship (p> 0.05) with gender (p> 0.05). This study concluded that cholesterol was the most common constituent of gallstone. Its levels increased with age and did not differ significantly between genders. Keywords: Gallstone, Composition, Distribution, Cholesterol

Cancer, an uncontrollable growth of cells, is among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Malignant neoplasms are difficult to treat diseases because of their single in kind characteristics such as tissue invasion, metastasis, evading reticuloendothelial system (RES) and so forth. In recent decade polymeric nanoparticulate systems has gained special attention in drug delivery and targeting among all biocompatible nanoforms. Among these systems, chitosan-based hydrogel nanoparticles have been wildly utilized for drug delivery purposes. The usage of chitosan nanogels in cancer therapy significantly improved in recent years. The various cancers were the target of chitosan nanogels. Also, modification of other delivery systems with chitosan were much reported. The aim of this study is the review and update of the recent studies on chitosan nanogels applications in cancer therapy by focus on cancer based classification.

Introduction: Acute poisonings are one of the common cause of emergency visits and hospital admissions and is potentially preventable cause of childhood mortality and morbidity. The objectives of this study were to identify the common type of poisoning in children, to determine types of poisoning according to age and to find out the common age group in which the incidence of poisoning was high.Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive observational study done in a teaching hospital in Lalitpur, Nepal in patients aged 1 month to 18 years who visited the emergency department and were admitted to hospital with history of alleged poisoning from 2009 July to 2014 January.Results: Fifty patients were included. Drugs, kerosene and organophosphorus were most common cause of poisoning. Drugs and kerosene below 10 years of age and organophosphorus and drugs above 10 years of age were common types of poisoning. Maximum numbers (50%) of children with poisoning cases were below five year of age. Mean duration of hospital stay was 2.1days and mean age of poisoning was 7.8 years with a male(54%) predominance. Majority of poisoning occurred at home (84%) and 68% of patients were symptomatic at presentation to hospital with 84% of patients presenting to hospital within six hours.Conclusion: This study showed that drugs, kerosene and organophosphorus were most common forms of poisoning. Young children were most vulnerable for acute poisoning.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i2.10139J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(2):100-103

Suicides and suicidal behaviors are very important causes of mortality and morbidity and have become a serious global problem. More than 800,000 people die from suicide every year. Previous researches have established that lipids play an important role in the pathogenesis of suicide. Moreover, lipid levels might be a biological marker of suicide. A lot of researchers have tried to identify biological markers that might be related to depressive disorder, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia and suicidal behavior. It was also important to consider the usefulness of an additional tool for prevention actions. Metabolic deregulation, particularly low total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins-cholesterol levels may cause higher suicide risk in patients with these psychiatric disorders.

This study reports age- and sex-specific incidence rates of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in complete Danish birth cohorts from 1992 through 2002. Data were obtained from the Danish registries. All persons born in Denmark, from 1992–2002, were followed from birth and until either the date of first diagnosis recording, death, emigration, 16th birthday or administrative censoring (17 May 2017), whichever came first. The number of incident JIA cases and its incidence rate (per 100,000 person-years) were calculated within sex and age group for each of the birth cohorts. A multiplicative Poisson regression model was used to analyze the variation in the incidence rates by age and year of birth for boys and girls separately. The overall incidence of JIA was 24.1 (23.6–24.5) per 100,000 person-years. The rate per 100,000 person-years was higher among girls (29.9 (29.2–30.7)) than among boys (18.5 (18.0–19.1)). There were no evident peaks for any age group at diagnosis for boys but for girls two small peaks appeared at ages 0–5 years and 12–15 years. This study showed that the incidence rates of JIA in Denmark were higher for girls than for boys and remained stable over the observed period for both sexes.

Generally, there is a significant relationship between some acoustic measures (F0 and formant parameters) and the body size of speakers; however, data become less clear when age and sex variables are controlled. To date, no other vocal parameter apart from F0 has been studied in relation to body size. In the present study, correlations between a set of 27 parameters of the Multi-dimensional Voice Program (Kay Elemetrics Corp.) and 4 body measures were obtained from 134 speakers of both sexes belonging to one age group (20–29 years). Correlations within sex groups were null or very weak, and all significant coefficients were below .35.
