Diarrhea is one of the public health problems, particularly in infants. Based on the outcomes of the Aceh Besar fitness service survey, Baitussalam sub-district is one of the districts with a excessive wide variety of diarrhea cases, with a total of 520 instances in the one year. This is due to the lack of exact hygiene conduct related to hand washing cleaning soap in the prevention of diarrhea in toddlers. This research ambitions to find out the relationship between the clean and healthy lifestyle housewives on behavior of smooth water use and waste management with diarrhea in children of Baitussalam Subdistrict in Aceh Besar District, Indonesia. This is a descriptive analytic study using a case control study, consist of 28 moms who have children who suffer from diarrhea, and 28 moms who have youngsters do not go through from diarrhea. This lookup resulted in three findings namely there is a relationship between handwashing with cleaning soap with the incidence of diarrhea in infants (p-value 0.003 < α = OR 3.50), there is no relationship between the use of smooth water with the incidence of diarrhea in babies (p-value 1.00 > α = 0.05, OR 1.22) and there is a management relationship with the incidence of diarrhea in teens under five (p-value 0.01 < α = 0.05, OR 4.50).

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are among the leading causes of coronary heart disease (CHD). Studies investigated the relationship between dietary antioxidants and the risk/odds of CHD, and contradictory results have been reported. Dietary antioxidant index (DAI) is a novel and reliable nutritional tool that examines the diet’s overall antioxidant capacity. Its validity was examined using serum total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between DAI score and odds of CHD. METHODS: In this incidence case-control study, 320 individuals with a definitive diagnosis of CHD and 320 participants without CHD or related risk factors attending the same hospitals/polyclinics were selected as the case and control groups. We estimated the DAI by summing up six standardized intakes of major dietary antioxidants, including manganese, vitamin E, A, C, selenium, and zinc. RESULTS: Modeling DAI categorized according to the median (–0.38), in multi-adjusted model showed a significant protective association with the odd of CHD (OR = 0.72; 95%CI:0.51–0.99, p-value = 0.05). Also, modeling DAI as a continuous variable in multi-adjusted models (OR = 0.94;95%CI:0.90–0.95; p-value = 0.01) showed significant results. CONCLUSION: Using the DAI to investigate the relationship between dietary antioxidants and CHD can show more realistic results than a single study of antioxidants.

SUMMARYIn March 1988, there was an outbreak of infection by a strain of Salmonella saint-paul with a distinctive antigenic marker. A total of 143 reports were received between 1 March and 7 June. Preliminary investigations suggested that raw beansprouts were a possible source of infection and a case-control study confirmed the association. S. saint-paul of the epidemic type was isolated from samples of beansprouts on retail sale in different cities in the United Kingdom and from mung bean seeds on the premises of the producer who was most strongly associated with cases. In addition, Salmonella virchow PT34 was isolated from samples of raw beansprouts and was subsequently associated with seven cases of infection. Four other serotypes of salmonella were also isolated from beansprouts. On 8 April the public were advised to boil beansprouts for 15 seconds before consumption, and the premises of the one producer associated with many cases were closed. As a result of these actions there was a significant decrease in the number of infections with S. saint-paul.

ABSTRACTObjective: to analyze the relationship between lifestyle and other variables on hypertension. Method: this is about a case-control study performed with 120 users of the health unit of the district of Porto São Mateus/ES, matched the offer for one hypertensive of three normotensive. The instrument used was the profile of individual lifestyle as well as issues related to socio-economic profile. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research of Centro Universitário Norte do Espírito Santo, of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (043/2010). Results: there was a greater chance of developing hypertension with advancing age. The lifestyle was not statistically significant with hypertension, despite a greater exposure among normotensives. This fact can be attributed to a greater concern and health care by hypertensive only after the confirmation of the diagnosis of hypertension. Conclusion: adopting a healthy lifestyle from infancy to occur in order to prevent hypertension and not only serve as a treatment. Descriptors: life style; hipertensyon; risk factores.RESUMOObjetivo: analisar a relação do estilo de vida e de outras variáveis sobre a hipertensão arterial. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo de caso-controle realizado com 120 usuários da unidade de saúde do bairro Porto de São Mateus – ES, pareados na proporção de 3 hipertensos para 1 normotenso. O instrumento utilizado foi o Perfil do Estilo de Vida Individual além de questões relacionadas ao perfil sócio econômico. O projeto obteve aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Centro Universitário Norte do Espírito Santo, da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, conforme parecer 043/2010. Resultados: observou-se maiores chances de desenvolver a hipertensão com o avanço da idade. O estilo de vida não apresentou significância estatística com a hipertensão arterial, apesar de uma maior exposição entre os normotensos. Tal fato pode ser atribuído a uma maior preocupação e cuidado com a saúde por parte dos hipertensos somente a partir da confirmação do diagnóstico de hipertensão. Conclusão: a adoção de um estilo de vida saudável deve ocorrer desde a infância a fim de se prevenir a hipertensão e não servir apenas como tratamento. Descritores: estilo de vida; hipertensão; fatores de risco.RESUMENObjetivo: analizar la relación entre el estilo de vida y otras variables en la hipertensión.

AbstractIntroductionGlobally sever acute malnutrition affects 16.4 million under five children and more than one quarter of those children live in Africa. In Ethiopia, about 3% of children are severely wasted and continues to be persistent over the past 15 years. To implement an effective intervention, it is essential to identify predictors predispose to it. This study therefore, aimed to identify determinants of severe acute malnutrition among under five children in selected public health facilities, Northwest Ethiopia.MethodsInstitution based; age matched case control study was conducted on 104 cases and 208 controls. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done using conditional logistic regression to identify predictors. Variables having P-value ≤ 0.2 during binary analysis were entered into multivariate analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.ResultsChildren from households of large family size(AOR=2.7, 95% CI: 1.06 – 6.9), having monthly income less than 1500 birr (AOR = 5.17, 95% CI: 1.7-15.3), which are food insecure (AOR = 2.9, 95% CI:1.17-7.28)), which didn’t receive any nutrition information (AOR= 3.47,95% CI: 1.14 - 7.10), didn’t practice exclusive breastfeeding (AOR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.18 - 6.10), and practice infrequent hand washing (AOR= 7.6 95% CI:2.44-23.6) as well as children who had history of diarrhea two weeks prior to the survey (AOR 3.2, 95%CI:1.4-7.2) were more likely to suffer from severe acute malnutrition.ConclusionFamily size, monthly income, food security status, exclusive breastfeeding practice, access to information on child feeding, hand washing practice and history of diarrhea were identified to be predictors of severe acute malnutrition. Due emphasis should be given to promoting family planning, improve household livelihoods and food security, strength awareness creation on exclusive breastfeeding and frequent hand washing practices as well as prevention of diarrhea.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Several studies have been done to evaluate the relationship between month of birth and atopic diseases but the results are contradictory. So, we aim to evaluate the correlation between the month of birth and the prevalence of AD in Malagasy children less than 3 years.METHODS: A case-control study was conducted based on patients’ data of the department of Dermatology in the University Hospital Joseph Raseta Befelatanana (UH/JRB) Antananarivo. It included 354 children less than 3 years seen in this department between January 2010 and December 2018. For each AD patient, two age and sex-matched controls without a history of AD were selected from the same period.RESULTS: This study included 118 AD cases and 236 non-AD controls. Our case-control study found that there are no statistically significant correlation between birth month and risk of AD in Malagasy children < 3 years. However, the fewest children with AD were born in February (17.86%, OR: 0.40, CI 95%: 0.11-1.14), and the most were born in August (45.16%, OR: 1,73; CI 95%: 0,75-3,88). Asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis were significantly correlated with AD in our patients.CONCLUSION: Our case-control study found that there are no statistically significant correlation between birth month and risk of AD in children < 3 years. However, the high frequency of AD in children born in August (dry season) compared to non-AD controls was not negligible (p-value =0,05 and X 2 3,27).

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association of periodontitis and Myocardial Infarction (MI) and contributes as a potential risk factor for its incidence. Methodology: This multi-centre, case-control study enrolled 125 participants. Case group comprising of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) = 55, control group consisting of non – AMI = 70. Both groups were assessed for presence of periodontitis along with specific risk factors that were recorded in a modified proforma comprising of questions pertaining to demographics, oral hygiene practices and oral eating habits. Chi-square test was used to assess association and p-value was considered significant at ≤0.05. Results: Periodontitis was found to be prevalent in 71% of Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients with an OR 4.125 (95% CI, 1.934 - 8.797) as compared to 37% in Control (non-Myocardial Infarct). Increasing age, male gender, illiteracy, unemployment/retirement, low socio-economic status, being overweight, no dental visits, and smoking (both duration & frequency) were found to be statistically significantly associated with occurrence of periodontitis and myocardial infarction in the study. Conclusion: Periodontitis was found to be prevalent among the MI patients suggesting a causal link between these two conditions that can be reduced by adopting a healthy lifestyle, refraining from smoking, good oral hygiene and visiting a dentist for regular check-up.

Interactions between APRIL (TNFSF13) and its receptor TACI (TNFRSF13B) are implicated in providing survival benefits for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells. Here we explored the relationship between TNFSF13 and TNFRSF13B SNPs and expression of APRIL and TACI molecules and performed extended case-control study to evaluate earlier observations. Expression of APRIL and TACI was detected by FACS for 72 and 145 patients, respectively, and soluble APRIL was measured by ELISA in plasma of 122 patients. Genotypes were determined in 439 CLL patients and 477 control subjects with TaqMan Assays or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The rs4968210GG genotype of TNFSF13 was associated with a lower percentage of CD19+APRIL+ cells in CLL patients when compared to (AA + GA) genotypes (p-value = 0.027). Homozygosity at rs11078355 TNFRSF13B was associated with higher CD19+ TACI+ cell percentage in CLL patients (p-value = 0.036). The analysis of extended groups of patients and healthy controls confirmed the association of TNFSF13 rs3803800AA genotype with a higher CLL risk (OR = 2.13; CI95% = 1.21; 3.75; p-value = 0.007), while the possession of TNFRSF13B rs4985726G allele (CG + GG) genotype was associated with lower risk of CLL (OR = 0.69; CI95% = 0.51; 0.95; p-value = 0.02). Genetic variants of TNFSF13 and TNFRSF13B may have an impact on APRIL and TACI expression and may be considered as possible CLL risk factors.
