One of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) transmission risk factors is presence of vectors, especially Aedes aegypti. Vector surveillance is carried out to determine vectors distribution, vector density and risk of transmission. The larva survey is a common and easy vector surveillance method. This study aims to describe the cases and deaths due to DHF and entomological indicators in Java. This study was further analysis of Special Research Disease of Vector and Reservoir (Rikhus Vektora). Data collection was conducted in 2016 - 2018. The study locations were five provinces on Java Island i.e. East Jawa, West Jawa, Banten, DI Yogyakarta, DKI Jakarta and three districts were each taken. The data of DHF cases and entomology were analyzed descriptively. The results of the study show that the last two years were 50% districts experienced an increase in DHF cases and 38.9% an increase in deaths. The highest house index was 50% and lowest was 9%, highest larval free rate was 91% and lowest was 50%. The highest container index was 26.48%, lowest was 3.68%, and the highest breteau index was 67, lowest was 11. As many as 73.3% districts have the most water containers were buckets and 26.7% most water containers were bathtubs. Java Island has a medium to high potential region toward DHF transmission occurs. Increased knowledge and skills for eradication mosquito correctly by individually and community needs to be planned and implemented sustainable, to increase community participation as well.

Background: Pakistan's being a country placed in intermediate endemicity zone of HBV and HCV, with rising population, there is lack scarcity of knowledge about transmission of risk factors specially unorthodox and frequency of this health challenge. Methods: A retrospective case control study where case records of all patients aged from 18 - 70 years from 2012 to 2017 with either gender diagnosed as chronic hepatitis B and C were included. Information about shave from barber-shop, sharing of toothbrush at home, tattooing, cautery, and ear piercing were collected. Information about unorthodox risks for transmission of HBV and HCV, like skin branding, cupping of blood, circumcision by the barber, sharing of tooth brushes and leech therapy was collected. Results: Among 1134 patients of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and chronic hepatitis C (HCV), Age > 35 years, shave from barber and dental treatment were found to be risk factor for both HCV and HBV transmission. Amongst unorthodox risk factors like skin branding, cupping of blood, circumcision by the barber, sharing of tooth brushes and leech therapy, only cupping of blood (Hijama) was a significant risk for transmission of both HBV and HCV. Conclusion: Viral related chronic hepatitis is frequently reported problem in this part of the world where HCV supersedes HBV. Socieodemographic factor like age > 35 year, shave from barbers and dental treatment were risk factors for transmission of both HCV and HBV. Among orthodox routes of transmission blood cupping (hijama) has shown as a significant transmission risk for both HCV and HBV.

Problems in general in Banyumas district related to non-regular diseases are: lack of health education, lack of knowledge and skills of cadres, lack of community support, and low visits by elderly / target groups. Posbindu in Pamijen village is implemented with integrated posyandu activities for toddlers where the activities are still limited to monitoring blood pressure and treating minor illnesses, while counseling activities from health workers are rarely carried out. This condition has made the mothers of the Asyiyah Pamijen branch not yet moved to join Posbindu. Apart from that, the Posbindu cadres were not ready and skilled. The method of solving problems implemented in this community service is by providing IEC (Communication, Information and Education) in the form of material about Non-Communicable Diseases (PTM) and risk factors and efforts to control PTM risk factors. PTM activities in Pamijen village involve Aisyiyah's organization as an organization that is active in the community to follow up on the Ministry of Health program so that the program can run as expected. The follow-up of this activity is carried out at the Posbindu activity in Pamijen village which is carried out routinely every 1 month. There is an increase in knowledge about PTM in Aisyiyah cadres in Pamijen village so that Aisyiyah cadres can recognize PTM on their own and educate the public to recognize PTM.

Objective: To explore self-perceived knowledge and implementation of current opioid guidelines among healthcare providers, and to assess the effect of an opioid-related educational intervention.Design: Pre-post.Setting: Academic.Participants: Sixty-nine participants completed the pre-intervention survey, 45 percent of them also completed a post-survey.Intervention: A short presentation on current opioid guidelines incorporated in a larger accredited continuing professional development (CPD) event.Outcomes: The 5-point Likert scale to express their level of agreement with seven statements was used to estimate their knowledge and implementation of current opioids guideline, along with their self-perceived abilities and level of comfort in prescribing opioids (Moore's conceptual framework).Results: Fifty percent of the participants were familiar with current opioid prescribing protocols and 46 percent were implementing them, 62 percent stated that were able to identify drug seeking behaviors in patients, 82 percent knew patients’ risk factors and 78 percent evaluated them before prescribing opioids, 90 percent indicated that they prescribed non-opioid alternatives, and 35 percent expressed that they feel comfortable prescribing opioids. Self-reported levels of familiarity with the current opioid prescribing protocols (p 0.001) and knowledge of patients’ risk factors for prescribing opioids (p = 0.012) increased after the intervention. Improvements in their ability to identify drug seeking behavior in patients (p = 0.033), and in their comfort prescribing opioids for chronic non-cancer patients (p = 0.015) were also reported.Conclusions: Healthcare providers’ knowledge and implementation of current opioids guidelines need to be strengthened. A single presentation on the opioid crisis and guidelines incorporated within a larger CPD event showed significant gains in self-reported knowledge and skills among healthcare providers.
