BACKGROUND: Unresolved questions remain concerning the protective effect and duration of immunity acquired from mothers. This study investigated persistence of immunity against tetanus in the first two weeks of life among neonates in Nigeria.METHODS: In a longitudinal study, 244 primiparous mothers and their newborns were consecutively recruited at 16 selected Primary Healthcare Centres in Ibadan, Nigeria. All the newborns were tested for protection against tetanus using a validated rapid diagnostic, “Tetanos Quick Sticks” (TQS) on days 1, 7 and 14. Persistent immunity was defined as positive TQS result on day-14. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and logistic regression at p = 0.05.RESULTS: There were 137(56.1%) male neonates; 87.7% were delivered at ≥37weeks of gestation. The prevalence of protective immunity against tetanus (PIaT) among neonates on day-1 was 63.5%; 119 out of 153 neonates remained positive to TQS test by day-14, giving a persistence rate of 77.8%. Independent predictors of persistent PIaT were residence in urban area (OR = 9.66; 95% CI = 2.42-38.45), maternal age (OR = 2.06; 95% CI = 1.49-2.85) and gestational age (OR = 1.84; 95% CI = 1.23-2.74).CONCLUSION: Protective immunity against tetanus waned in some neonates over the first two weeks of life, and this decline was inversely related to maternal and gestational ages.

AbstractBackground and Purpose : The prevalence of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) among Asian women in India and Indonesia is 32% while in the case of BV in 2018 the obstetric clinic of Dr. Soetomo Regional Hospital is 181 BV sufferers. The impact of BV on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) patients, namely the delay in POP treatment such as BV pessaries can be influenced by age, menopausal status, and BMI. This study aims to analyze the relationship of age, menopausal status, and BMI with the incidence of BV in POP patients. Methods: This study used observational analytics with a retrospective and cross sectional approach. The number of samples used was 86 patients. Samoel taking technique with total sampling. The independent variable is the incidence of BV, while the dependent variable is age, menopause status, BMI. Bivariate data analysis using chi square, fisher's exact test and multivariate test using multiple logistic regression tests. Results: The results showed a positive BV prevalence of 76.7% with the majority of patients aged over 60 years at 44.2%, having menopause at 81.4%, and having a BMI of 18.5-24.5 at 47.7%. Fisher's exact test analysis test showed p value of maternal age = 0.003 (RR = 6.398) and p value of BMI = 0.767 (p> 0.005). Chi square analysis test showed p value of menopause status = 0.009 (RR = 4.833). The multiple logistic regression analysis test showed that maternal age was the most dominant factor with a value of p = 0.006 (OR = 6.398 (1,711-23,929)). Conclusion: There is a relationship between age and menopausal status with the incidence of BV. Age is the most dominant independent factor in the incidence of BV.

Objective: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital anomaly in a human face, with a multifactorial and complex etiology. Although many studies have been developed, the role of the environment is still unclear. This study aims to test the hypothesis that differences in lifestyle and environment change the reproductive risks of orofacial clefts.Methods: A total of 2,422 medical records of individuals born with cleft lip and/or palate in a reference center in the northeast of Brazil over a period of 30 years were analyzed. Data on the cleft type, geographic origin of the patient (coast or inland), presence of associated congenital anomalies or syndromes, maternal age, and maternal parity were recorded. Differences in frequencies between the cleft types were compared based on geographic origin, maternal age, and parity. Chi-square, Student's t, Kruskal–Wallis, and logistic regression were used to analyze the interference of covariables on the cleft type.Results: The distribution of cleft types was significantly different between the coastal and inland areas (chi-square test, p < 0.0001). A higher frequency of cleft lip with or without palate was observed the inland area (chi-square test, p = 0.0006), while cleft palate only (chi-square test, p = 0.003) and rare facial clefts (chi-square test, p = 0.004) were more frequent in the coastal area. No difference was found in the distribution of maternal age (t-test, p > 0.05) between the two geographic areas, but parity was higher inland (t-test, p = 0.04). Logistic regression suggested that parity explained just a small portion of the differences in frequency between cleft types of the coast vs. inland.Conclusion: Frequency of orofacial cleft types differs by geographic area in this region of the South American continent.

Background: The neonatal mortality rate is Banjarnegara district is high compared with a target of IMR in Central Java province. In 2012 the neonatal mortality rate in Banjarnegara reached 316 cases, whereas in 2013 there were 115 cases in all health centers working area. The high neonatal mortality rate in Banjarnegara influenced by the persistence of early marriage in woman, birth attendant by non skilled health worker (dukun bayi) and women’s parity more than 4.Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between maternal age, parity and birth attendants with the incidence of neonatal mortality and examine the most dominant factors influencing the incidence neonatal mortality in the Health Center working area in Banjarnegara.Method: This study is a case control study design with retrospective approach. The data consists of perinatal verbal autopsy and medical records as many as 136 respondents consisting of 68 mothers who gave birth to her child and neonatal death and 68 maternal and child alive. Subjects were mothers who gave birth a baby who died aged 0-28 days.Result and Discussion: Statistical analysis using Chi Square, Mann Whitney, and multiple logistic regression. The results showed maternal age and parity variables were not significantly corerelated with neonatal mortality (p> 0.05), the variables significantly corerelated with neonatal mortality was birth attendants with p = 0.001. The results of logistic regression showed the strength of the corerelation from the most dominant variable to the smallest variable were birth attendants with OR: 5.64 (95% CI: 1.81 to 17.4), maternal age OR 3.97 (CI 95%, from 1.54 to 10.22), and parity OR: 0.32 (CI 95% 0.12 to 0.87).Conclusion: In conclusion, there was no relationship between maternal age and parity with neonatal mortality but there was a relationship between birth attendants with neonatal mortality. Based on the results of the multivariable analysis, birth attendants’ effect on the incidence of neonatal deaths was 5 times greater than mother’s age and parity.Keywords: Neonatal mortality, maternal age, parity, birth attendants

This study aims to describe the effect of sanctions (individual sanctions, collective sanctions, and absence of sanctions) on cooperative behavior of individuals with medium trust in the context of corruption. Both collective sanctions and individual sanctions, are systemic, which means sanctioning behavior is exercised not by each individual but by the system. Cooperative behavior in this context means choosing to obey rules, to reject acts of corruption and to prioritize public interests rather than the personal interests. Conversely, corruption is an uncooperative behavior to the rules, and ignores the public interest and prioritizes personal interests. Research subjects were 62 students. The Chi-Square Analysis was used to see the association between the variables and the logistic regression model was applied to describe the structure of this association. Individual sanction is recommended as punishment to medium trust individuals to promote cooperative behavior in the context of corruption. The results showed that individuals with medium trust had more cooperative behavior.

ABSTRACT Low Birth Weight (LBW) was defined as infants born weighing less than 2.500 grams. WHO estimates that nearly all (98%) of the five million neonatal deaths in developing countries. According to City Health if Palembang Departement, infant mortality rate (IMR) in the year 2007 is 3 per 1000 live births, in 2008 four per 1000 live births, and in 2009 approximately 2 per 1000 live births. The cause of LBW is a disease, maternal age, social circumstances, maternal habits factors, fetal factors and environmental factors. LBW prognosis depending on the severity of the perinatal period such as stage of gestation (gestation getting younger or lower the baby's weight, the higher the mortality), asphyxia / ischemia brain, respiratory distress syndromesmetabolic disturbances. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal age and educations mothers of pregnancy with the incidence of LBW in the General Hospital Dr Center. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in 2010 This study uses the Analytical Ceoss Sectional Survey. The study population was all mothers who gave birth in public hospitals center Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in 2010 were 1.476 mothers gave birth with a large sample of 94 studies of maternal taken by systematic random sampling, ie research instument Check List. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate. The results of this study show from 94 mothers of LBW was found 45 people (47,9%) Which has a high risk age 26 LBW ( 27,7%) while the distance of low educations LBW (55,3%). From Chi-Square test statistic that compares the p value with significance level α = 0,05 showed a significant correlation between maternal age, where the p value = 0,002, of education mothers of pregnancy p value = 0,003 with LBW.
