Pengetahuan WUS sebelum diberi Komunikasi Edukasi Informasi (KIE) rata  –rata = 14,57;  SD =3.633 dan sesudah diberi KIE rata –rata= 23.60, SD = 1.589. Hasil uji statistik diperoleh beda mean = 9.03 dan nilai P=0,001, maka dapat disimpulkan ada pengaruh yang signifikan KIE terhadap pengetahuan WUS tentang kanker serviks dan tes IVA. Disarankan kepada bidan agar mensosialisasikan manfaat tes IVA dan melaksanakannya sebagai deteksi dini kanker servik

In the study, IHC expression of MMP7 and VEGF was carried out on paraffin block of ovarian cancer tissue, benign ovarian cyst, and normal ovary. In 40 subjects with ovarian tumors, 17 patients were found with positive MMP7 expression. In the control group, no subjects were found with positive MMP7 expression. There was a significant relationship between MMP7 expression and ovarian tumor incidence. Meanwhile, in 40 subjects with ovarian tumors, 21 patients were found with positive VEGF expression. In the control group, no subjects with positive VEGF expression were found. There was a significant relationship between VEGF expression and ovarian tumor incidence. There was a significant relationship between MMP7 and VEGF expression with ovarian tumor incidence

Analysis of factors influencing acute respiratory infection among under-five children in Sering Public Health Centre, Medan Tembung subdistrict

Introduction: Nowadays, acute respiratory infection (ARI) is the most common cause of high morbidity and mortality rate in children. ARI is defined as an infection either in the upper or lower respiratory tract that lasts for 14 days and caused by either viruses or bacteria. The incidence of ARI in 2017 is 20.54%, with the most prominent characteristic in children aged 1 to 4 years. Factors that affect ARI frequency are gender, birth weight, nutritional status, immunization status, vitamin A status, exclusive breastfeeding, smoke exposure, family income, and mother’s formal education.Aim: This study aims to find out risk factors that potentiate ARI among children from age 1 to 5. Materials and methods: This study used a descriptive-analytical method with a cross-sectional study approach. The data is taken by consecutive sampling method with a questionnaire as the tool. Results: The bivariate analysis result using Fisher’s exact test shows that there is no relation between sex (p=0.642), birth weight (p=0.683), completion of immunization (p=0.195), vitamin A supplementation (p=1.000), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.157), crowding (p=1.000), family income (p=0.658), knowledge (p=1.000), attitude (p=0.156), and behavior (p=1.000) with the frequency of ARI. The bivariate analysis result using Kruskal-Wallis test shows that there is no significant difference between groups in each factor of smoke exposure (p=0.988) and mother’s formal education (p=0.899) with the frequency of ARI.Conclusions: There is no relation between each factor with ARI frequency and there is no significant difference between groups in each factor with ARI frequency
