According to the World Health Organization, human safety is based on the development of the individual, understanding the safety of all situations in their daily lives, including safety at school. Consideringthat approximately 80% of school-age children and adolescents attend schools, they have taken on a fundamental role in promoting health and preventing accidents, especially in the school environment. Incidents in the school space occur frequently, most ofthe time, teachers and school employees do not notice risk situations and may even contribute to the aggravation of injured students, since they were not trained to intervene in such emergency demands. The Lucas Law appears in this scenario with the purpose of training teachers and employees, from public and private schools, to provide first aid, avoiding possible accidents. Therefore, this pilot study aimed to train teachers of Kindergarten at a private school in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ, according to the Lucas Law, on the initial measures of first aid. To carry out this pilot study, training was initially carried out on the Lucas Law, with verbal exposition and demonstration of initial first aid measures, through four theoretical-practical videos with 12 teachers. Soon after, the pre-test questionnaire was applied, with closed and semi-open questions related to the training content, and after 10 days, the post-test questionnaire was applied. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics in the SPSS® software, comparing the pre-test and post-test results. It was verified, in the pre-test, 17.5% of correct answers, while in the post-test it reached 83%. Thus, it is concluded that the pilot study made it possible not only to verify the effectiveness of training in the training of teachers, but also the need to carry out training such as this to encourage the autonomy of teachers in cases of accidents and, consequently, favor school safety.

Handwashing with soap is a healthy behavior scientifically proven to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections (ISPA), and flu. Hand washing is one of the sanitation measures by cleaning the hands and fingers using running water and soap. School-age children are a period prone to various diseases. The habit of children consuming snacks freely, plus children not washing their hands with soap before eating, will cause various diseases. To avoid this, there is a need for counseling regarding washing hands with soap properly. The counseling was carried out on July 17, 2019, for class II 05 Mungka students with 25 students. The method used is counseling and demonstration of washing hands through 7 steps of washing hands with soap, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Based on the preliminary study conducted, 05 Mungka Elementary School does not yet have adequate CPTS facilities and infrastructure and does not yet know the proper and correct CTPS practice steps. After conducting counseling activities in the form of education and demonstration of CTPS, increasing student knowledge related to the material provided can be seen from the evaluation of test results both pretest and post-test. So it can be concluded that this activity can increase the knowledge of the importance of washing hands using soap and students' ability to practice the seven steps of washing hands with soap properly. This aims to reduce student absenteeism due to illness caused by diseases.

In Latin America, onchocerciasis is targeted for elimination by 2012 through twice-yearly mass treatment of the eligible population with ivermectin. In Guatemala, two of the four historical endemic foci have demonstrated elimination of transmission, following World Health Organization guidelines. Using established guidelines ophthalmological, serological, and entomological evaluations were conducted in 2007-8 to determine the transmission status of onchocerciasis in the Huehuetenango focus. The prevalence ofOnchocerca volvulusmicrofilariae in the anterior segment of the eye in 365 residents was 0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0–0.8%), the prevalence of infection ofO. volvulusinSimulium ochraceumamong 8252 flies collected between November 2007 and April 2008 was 0% (95% CI 0–0.02%), and the prevalence of antibodies to a recombinantO. volvulusantigen in 3118 school age children was 0% (95% CI 0–0.1%). These results showed transmission interruption; thus, in 2009 mass treatment was halted and posttreatment surveillance began. To verify for potential recrudescence an entomological evaluation (from December 2010 to April 2011) was conducted during the 2nd and 3rd year of posttreatment surveillance. A total of 4587S. ochraceumwere collected, and the prevalence of infection ofO. volvuluswas 0% (95% CI 0–0.04%). Transmission of onchocerciasis in the Huehuetenango focus has been eliminated.

WHO (World Health Organization) telah menetapkan wabah COVID-19 sebagai pandemi tingkat global karena tingkat penyebaran COVID-19 yang sangat cepat hampir ke seluruh dunia. Protokol kesehatan seperti menjaga jarak, mencuci tangan, dan rutin menggunakan masker menjadi langkah untuk meminimalkan penyebaran virus COVID-19. Penggunaan masker menjadi kebiasaan baru yang erat dengan keseharian setiap orang saat ini. Masker yang dipakai dalam jangka waktu yang lama ternyata dapat menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan pada kulit seperti jerawat, dermatitis, kemerahan dan pigmentasi pada wajah.  Keluhan kulit yang paling banyak terjadi pada tenaga kesehatan yang menggunakan masker adalah akne. Oleh sebab itu, kami memilih topik tersebut dengan tujuan untuk mengedukasi masyarakat mengenai cara menjaga kesehatan kulit di masa pandemi dan bagaimana pencegahan serta penatalaksanaan mask-acne. Dalam masa pandemi, upaya untuk melakukan edukasi kepada masyarakat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan fitur Instagram Live yang dapat mempermudah masyarakat untuk menjangkau informasi dan menjadi media platform yang banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat. Metode edukasi ini dilakukan secara daring dengan menggunakan platform sosial media Instagram yang dilakukan sebanyak 3 (tiga) kali intervensi. Intervensi pertama kami melakukan kuis fakta dan mitos seputar kesehatan kulit dan mask-acne dengan total 868 responden, serta melakukan pre-test yang diisi oleh 50 responden. Intervensi kedua adalah melakukan Instagram Live berupa talkshow atau QnA bersama dermatovenereologist FK UNAIR/RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, dengan penonton sejumlah 267 pengguna dan telah ditonton ulang sebanyak 263 pengguna. Pada intervensi akhir, terdapat sesi post-test yang diisi oleh 50 responden yang didapatkan peningkatan hasil nilai terhadap pemahaman topik. Evaluasi kegiatan ini didapatkan dari kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada para peserta dan menunjukkan mayoritas responden memberikan umpan balik yang sangat baik terhadap materi yang dibawakan (58-68%), kesesuaian materi terhadap kondisi pandemi (60-70%), serta kebermanfaatan acara (68-74%).

Anthropometric evaluation is an essential feature of pediatric evaluation. Different countries use different approaches in pediatric growth assessment. The article presents a comparative analysis of the body length (BL) indicators of modern school-age children in St. Petersburg with regional standards (1991) and international standards (WHO Growth Reference 2007). Anthropometric evaluation was conducted among 6207 children aged 7 to 17 years; the median, standard deviation and centile distribution of the BL values of school-age children were determined. We found that the values of BL of modern school-age children are higher than that their peers had thirty years ago; in boys, the maximum difference is found during the pubertal growth spurt; Non-parametric and parametric indicators of BL in senior pupils of St. Petersburg are higher than in the standards of the World Health Organization; in junior schoolchildren no difference was found. The data we obtained create the prerequisites for the development of modern regional standards for growth assessment of children and school-age children in St. Petersburg and their practical use for pediatric examinations.
