Aim: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpes virus and a common pathogen responsible for congenital infection in 4-23% of all newborns. The objective of this study was to assess the pregnant women’s knowledge of CMV infection and to investigate their hygienic practices when attending to their young children. Material and Method: This study was carried out at Bezmialem Vakif University Medical Faculty obstetric outpatient clinic. Inclusion criteria were pregnant women 1) who were able to communicate in Turkish, 2) who had at least one child < 5 years of age. We excluded pregnant participants who were health workers. Participants were approached by a medical college student and informed about the study. After giving consent they were asked to fill out a questionnaire which included demographic questions, knowledge questions regarding CMV infection and questions regarding hygienic practices when giving care to their young children. The questionnaires were collected and a total behavioral score was calculated taking into account positive and negative hygienic practices. Results: A total of two hundred and twenty five participants were involved in the survey. Only 86 (38.2%) of the participants in our study had heard of congenital CMV infection. CMV awareness was correlated with having higher education (p:0.02) and employment status (p=0.03). The behavioral score was not correlated with age (p=0.98), educational attainment ( p=0.11), employment status (p=0.9) or number of children, (p=0.87). Conclusion: In this cross sectional study we have shown that CMV infection knowledge of mothers is low and that they do not adhere to adequate sanitation measures. Strategies to raise awareness and initiating education programs are necessary as further action.

Background: Menopause was the time of life when menstrual cycles cease and are caused by reduced secretion of the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone. the proportion of women aged menopause increases with increasing age. This study aimed to find the relationship between employment status, age at first delivery, number of children and smoking status to the incidence of early menopause in women aged 30 to 40 years. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted from secondary data Indonesian Health Data Survey (IDHS), 2017. The inclusion criteria were female respondents 30-40 years old with who are married and use contraceptives. The dependent variable was early menopause. The independent variables were employment status, age at first delivery, number of children and smoking status. The data were analyzed by chi-square and logistic regression. Results: This study found that women aged 30-40 years who had menopause were 10.3%. From the multivariate results, it was found that women who had more than 2 children had a 1.4 times greater risk of early menopause (OR= 1.43, 95% CI= 1.43 to 1.26). Women who have jobs have a 0.5 times greater risk of premature menopause than women who do not work (OR= 0.55, 95% CI= 0.49 to 0.61). The most dominant variable related to the incidence of menopause is the number of children. Conclusion: The family planning program needs to be increased in order to provide counseling on long-term family planning and how to plan to have children and prepare for menopause.

Antenatal Services

Antenatal care or antenatal care is a planned program that is observation, education and medical treatment for pregnant women, to obtain a safe and satisfying pregnancy and childbirth process. The indicator used to assess the access of pregnant women to antenatal care is K1 direction (first visit) is the contact of pregnant women to health workers and K4 (perspective visit) is 4 or more times contact with health workers. From the data of the Padang City Health Office, it was found that the Air Tawar Puskesmas with this low level was caused by various factors. The purpose of this study was to determine factors related to the use of antenatal services. This type of research is a quantitative study with cross sectional study design with 110 respondents of third trimester pregnant women with purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed univariate, bivariate with Chi squre test. From the research results obtained from the five factors studied, it was found that the factors related to the use of antenatal services in freshwater health centers were access or distance with pvalue 0.009 = OR 21.676), service availability factors with a p value of 0.001 = OR 9.293, the role factor midwives with a p value of 0.001 = OR 12.302, while the family income factor, disease complaints obtained results have nothing to do with the use of antenatal services. The author's suggestion is that there is a need for good coordination with the Independent Practice Midwife (BPM), revitalize puskesmas to more strategic places and improve better facilities, improve accessibility that can be minimized, strive to reach pregnant women, especially for accessibility that is less affordable.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can vertically transmit from infected mothers to fetuses and causes congenital infection in newborns. Unfortunately, there have been limited data available on the prevalence of congenital CMV (cCMV) infection among Iranian neonates at higher risk of infection. Objectives: The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of cCMV infection among hospitalized neonates in Tehran, Iran, and investigate the diagnostic values of CMV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on Guthrie cards in comparison to those reported for urine specimens. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on the hospitalized neonates with 3 weeks of age. The urine specimens and Guthrie cards were taken from each eligible newborn. Total nucleic acid was extracted from the samples and tested by PCR for the presence of CMV deoxyribonucleic acid. The cCMV infection was confirmed in the newborns, and the infected neonates underwent further evaluation. Results: Out of 224 newborns, CMV infection was identified in 11 neonates (4.9%). There were no factors in association with cCMV infection. The sensitivity and specificity of dried blood spot (DBS) samples for the identification of newborns with cCMV infection were 90% and 99%, respectively. Conclusions: A significant number of hospitalized neonates in the present study were infected with cCMV infection. The results of the current study revealed that Guthrie cards had adequate sensitivity for the identification of CMV infection in the hospitalized newborns. Since symptomatic newborns with cCMV infection have a higher chance for the development of early- or late-onset sequelae of infection, it is recommended to diagnose and treat this group of newborns.

Background. The roll-over test is a simple, easily available clinical test using the sphygmomanometer to predict pregnancy-induced hypertension starting at 20 weeks age of gestation (AOG). However, the roll-over test is not part of the standard prenatal care in government health facilities even if health workers can easily perform the test. Objectives. To validate the roll-over test at the 20th weeks of gestation and to determine the risk factors for preeclampsia in 4 health districts of Surigao City, a province in the CARAGA Region of the Philippines. Methods. A total of 190 pregnant women without history of hypertension during their previous pregnancies from 4 health districts in Surigao City, Philippines were consecutively enrolled from May 2014 to October 2014 in a cross-sectional study design. The roll-over test was done using the method described in Williams Obstetrics and the validity of the roll-over test was measured. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done to determine risk factors for preeclampsia. Results. Seven of the 190 women developed preeclampsia. The sensitivity of the rollover test done at 20 weeks AOG was 43% and the specificity was 81%. Maternal age, history of urinary tract infection (UTI) and a positive rollover test were associated with preeclampsia. Conclusion. Pregnant women whose ages are <20 years or >29 years old, or who had a history of UTI, or a positive roll-over test are more likely to develop preeclampsia. Roll-over test has a low sensitivity at 20 weeks AOG. More studies are warranted to explore the improvement of its predictive value in other AOG.

Preeclampsia is the onset of hypertension with proteinuria due to pregnancy, after 20 weeks' gestation or immediately after delivery. These symptoms can occur before 20 weeks if trophoblastic disease occurs. This study aims to determine the relationship between age and maternal parity with the incidence of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women in the work area of the Puskesmas Mangasa, Makassar City. The research design used in this study was descriptive analytic research with a cross sectional study design. Conducted from July to October 2018, with a sample of 70 respondents. In this study showed that there was no relationship between the age of pregnant women and the incidence of preeclampsia with a value of p (1.00)> 0.05 and there was no relationship between parity and the incidence of preeclampsia with a value of p (1.00)> 0.05. It is recommended for health workers to be intensive in detecting the presence of preeclampsia in pregnant women and counseling about the importance of routine antenatal care to as early as possible be aware of the risk of the occurrence of preeclampsia-eclampsia in pregnancy and for further researchers, further research is needed to find factors related to the incidence of preeclampsia so that the results are in accordance with the theory, such as parity, hypertension history and Antenatal Care examination.
