Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) are intestinal nematode worms that infect humans who ingest their eggs via the faecal-oral route. Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection is transmitted through eggs and larvae found in human feces which then contaminate the soil in environmental areas that have poor sanitation. The impact caused by worms includes malnutrition, growth and development disorders and cognitive disorders in children, and in adults it can reduce work productivity. The incidence of worms is found mainly in people living in rural areas, especially farmers. STH transmission to vegetable farmers occurs through water and sludge used in vegetable cultivation. STH prevalence is supported by suitable natural conditions, personal hygiene and low environmental sanitation, especially in the vegetable farming environment. This study aims to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and intestinal worm egg infection (Soil Transmitted Helmint) vegetable farmers in Gianyar Regency. The type of research used in this study is a descriptive correlative study with a cross sectional study approach which aims to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and intestinal worm infection (Soil Transmitted Helmint) in vegetable farmers in Gianyar Regency. The results showed that the personal hygiene condition of vegetable farmers in Gianyar Regency was poor (83.3%) and the incidence of worm infection in vegetable farmers in Gianyar Regency was 20%. There is no relationship between personal hygiene personal hygiene with intestinal worm egg infections (Soil Transmitted Helmint) in vegetable farmers in Gianyar Regency (p-value> 0.05).

Abstract: Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin condition involving inflammation of the pilosebaceous follicle. The highest prevalence of acne vulgaris is at the age of 16-17 years. Pathogenic factors contributing to the development of acne vulgaris include increased sebum production, pilosebaceous follicular blockage, and increased colonization of Propionibacterium acnes. Personal hygiene is suggested as an important factor that needs to be maintained in acne prevention. Males tend to lack of awareness to seek information and health services in dealing with acne problems. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between facial washing and the incidence of acne vulgaris in adolescent males in Manado. This was an analytical and observational study using a cross-sectional design. Subjects were male students of 3rd grade at SMA Negeri 9 Manado, aged 16-19 years old, and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total number of 95 students. Subjects who washed their faces 2-3 times a day were 38 students (40%) while those who washed their faces less than twice or more than thrice a day were 57 students (60%). Subjects with no or mild acne vulgaris were 39 students (41.1%), while those with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were 56 students (58.9%).

Abstract Objectives Children from urban areas in Haiti have a higher prevalence of anemia vs. rural (71% vs. 51%, respectively). The objective of this study was to identify the mediating factors between urban-rural residence and anemia. Methods This cross-sectional study used baseline data from two clustered randomized controlled trials that assessed the efficacy of a nutrition intervention. A total of 981 children from Cap Haitien, and 300 children from rural areas of the same region were included. Generalized linear mixed models were conducted to identify associations with anemia. Models were adjusted for age, school cluster and income. Significant variables were then included in a mediation analysis to explore the relationship between place of residence and child anemia. Results The odds of anemia were 2.35 times greater in children from urban vs. rural areas. Older age was inversely associated with anemia in rural and urban children, [OR = 0.88 95% CI (0.81–0.96)] and [OR 0.93; 95% CI (0.88–1.00)], respectively. In rural areas, stunting increased the odds of anemia, [OR = 3.41; 95% CI (1.45–7.80)], while households with more adults lowered the odds, [OR = 0.74; 95% CI (0.62–0.98)]. In the urban context, the odds of anemia were greater when intestinal worm morbidities were reported, [OR 1.74; 95% CI (1.13–2.68)]. Among number of adults living in the household, stunting and intestinal helminth morbidities, the latter partially mediated the relationship between anemia and place of residence (P = 0.03). Conclusions Younger children are at a higher odds of suffering anemia in both rural and urban contexts. In rural areas, stunting increased the odds of anemia, while larger households with more adults lowered it. Children with intestinal worm morbidities had a greater odds of anemia in urban locations, and mediated the relationship between anemia and place of residence. Findings from this study suggest the need to develop site-specific interventions in Haiti, highlighting the importance of additional, non-nutritional factors of anemia in this population.

Globally, helminthiasis is one of the infectious diseases that are often associated with the incidence of tuberculosis. Helminth co-infection modulates the immune system of TB patients by reducing Th-1 response that functions as protector against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This condition disrupts the process of eliminating bacteria so that its development becomes more progressive. The impact is the activation of latent TB and the success of TB treatment. A Soil-transmitted Helminth (STH) is a group of intestinal worms that often infect humans. Previous studies prove that environmental sanitation and personal hygiene are risk factors associated with STH infection. The study to determine the relationship of environmental sanitation and personal hygiene with the incidence of STH co-infection in TB patients at Puskesmas Puger, Jember in September until December 2019. This study uses a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique uses total sampling. A total of 32 TB patients met the criteria as study sample. The data analysis uses Fisher Test. Results showed the prevalence of STH co-infection was relatively low (18.8%); most of the respondents had good environmental sanitation and personal hygiene conditions. Bivariate analysis showed p-value (0,476) for environmental sanitation and p-value (1,000) for personal hygiene. This study concludes that there is no correlation between environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, and STH co-infection in TB patients at Public health center in Puger.
