Childhood food allergies are a growing public health problem. Once the offending food allergens have been identified, a strict elimination diet is necessary in treatment or prevention of most of the allergic reactions. Accidental food ingestion can lead to severe anaphylaxis. Food- derived substances can be used in medications at various stages of the manufacturing process. In this review, the possible roles of medications which may contain egg, red meat, gelatin, and fish allergens on allergic reactions in children with food allergy were evaluated.

Skin is a sense of touch in humans’ body which one of its functions is to feel the touch. Another function of the skin is to release the residual substances such as sweat. This part of the human body is very sensitive, easy to get hurt, and feels a sense of sensitivity. Human skin consists of epidermis and dermis. Skin diseases can be caused by a decrease in the immune system, allergies, viruses, or other causes. Skin disease is generally caused by a less guarded hygiene, bacteria, viral, allergic reactions, and low body resistance. If the cause of skin disease is only due to a lack of maintaining cleanliness, it can be prevented by changing lifestyles to be cleaner and healthier. Especially in Indonesia which is a tropical country, where the humidity is very high and can increase the development of bacteria on the skin. In another situation, not all people understand skin diseases for treatment or prevention. By the reason, The Forward Chaining Method is made to provide information about diagnoses of several skin diseases and produces conclusions. The existence of this expert system application makes it easy for people to get any information about skin diseases

Background: Dementia is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive loss of cognitive function in elderly people interferes the ability to function independently. The number of elderly patients increased so fast in worldwide. The prevalence of dementia rapidly increases due to increasing of population. Aging demographic transition is proceeding rapidly especially in China, India, and Latin America, where dementia is rapidly becoming the major public health problem. Demographic data of elderly patients of dementia in Indonesia is still a little. Dementia’s research data in Indonesia were only obtained from Bali and Yogyakarta, while data from Surabaya were not obtained. Our research data is taken from Dr. General Hospital Soetomo Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. This study is important for dementia epidemiological data and baseline data for further treatment of dementia patients in Surabaya. Objective: The purpose of this study to determine the characteristics profile of elderly patients with dementia in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Methods: Sampling was done with purposive sampling by observing the medical records of patients in the period of January 2017 to December 2017 based on inclusion and exclusion criterias that have been set. The data was taken from the patient's medical record which had been written and examined by neurologists from the neurology department in the neurobehaviour sub-department of Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Results: The majority of dementia patients are men (51,7%); the age group which is most at risk for dementia is between age of 75-79 years; most of the patients are jobless; more than half of patients are high school graduates; and Vascular Dementia (VaD) is the type of dementia that most people suferred Conclusion: This characteristic’s data of dementia can be used for providing information about dementia to make public health care provides a better facillities and treatment for elderly patients to prevent dementia burden.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a concerning incidence rate. One of the therapies for patients with TBI is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) administration as an analgesic with proper adherence to achieve optimal therapy results. This research aimed to evaluate physicians’ NSAID administration adherence in patients with mild and moderate TBI in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya.Methods: This was an observational descriptive study with a retrospective design. NSAID administration adherence was graded by evaluating the dose, route, frequency, and interval of NSAID administration. The variables were evaluated by observing the medical records of inpatients with mild and moderate TBI from 1 January to 31 December 2018.Results: NSAIDs used for TBI management were metamizole, paracetamol, mefenamic acid, and ketorolac. Metamizole was administered in 10 patients (34.5%), paracetamol in 1 patient (3.4%), metamizole and  paracetamol in 15 patients (51.7%), metamizole and mefenamic acid in 1 patient (3.4%), metamizole and paracetamol with mefenamic acid in 1 patient (3.4%), and metamizole and ketorolac in 1 patient (3.4%). Adherence of paracetamol, mefenamic acid, and ketorolac administration in patients with mild and moderate TBI were well-administered in every evaluated variable. Metamizole administration’s adherence was already well-administered in drug dosage and drug administration route, but it was not well-administered in drug administration interval and frequency.Conclusion: Physicians’ adherence to NSAID administration in patients with mild and moderate TBI in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya was well-administered, except for metamizole.

Background Scabies is a neglected tropical disease of the skin, causing severe itching, stigmatizing skin lesions and systemic complications. Since 2015, the DerMalawi project provide an integrated skin diseases clinics and Tele-dermatology care in Malawi. Clinic based data suggested a progressive increase in scabies cases observed. To better identify and treat individuals with scabies in the region, we shifted from a clinic-based model to a community based outreach programme. Methodology/Principal findings From May 2015, DerMalawi project provide integrated skin diseases and Tele-dermatological care in the Nkhotakota and Salima health districts in Malawi. Demographic and clinical data of all patients personally attended are recorded. Due to a progressive increase in the number of cases of scabies the project shifted to a community-based outreach programme. For the community outreach activities, we conducted three visits between 2018 to 2019 and undertook screening in schools and villages of Alinafe Hospital catchment area. Treatment was offered for all the cases and school or household contacts. Scabies increased from 2.9% to 39.2% of all cases seen by the DerMalawi project at clinics between 2015 to 2018. During the community-based activities approximately 50% of the population was assessed in each of three visits. The prevalence of scabies was similar in the first two rounds, 15.4% (2392) at the first visit and 17.2% at the second visit. The prevalence of scabies appeared to be lower (2.4%) at the third visit. The prevalence of impetigo appeared unchanged and was 6.7% at the first visit and 5.2% at the final visit. Conclusions/Significance Prevalence of scabies in our setting was very high suggesting that scabies is a major public health problem in parts of Malawi. Further work is required to more accurately assess the burden of disease and develop appropriate public health strategies for its control.

Deaths by drowning are a serious public health problem worldwide. They are under-investigated and hence under-estimated. Drowning is an important and preventable cause of death. This paper aims to estimate the deaths by drowning in Mthatha area of South Africa. Records of the medico-legal autopsies in Umtata General Hospital (UGH) were reviewed from 1993 to 2004. All cases of unnatural death are brought by the police to UGH mortuary. Three hundred and forty-three cases of death as a result of drowning were recorded over a period of 12 years (1993-2004). There was an increased trend of drowning from 2.7 per 100, 000 in 1993 to 12 per 100, 000 in 2004. Males outnumbered females by 2.6:1. The incidence of drowning declines as age advances. The highest number (96) of victims was under ten years of age. Deaths due to drowning are increasing especially among male children and young adults.
