BACKGROUND: Hypertension prevalence which increased in the last two decades in Indonesia depleted national expenditure. The government responded through many programs in educating the community and improving the primary health center (PHC). The engagement of patients and doctor’s role in PHC was very important in managing the disease. Patient’s lifestyles, comorbid, and the role of PHC, such as in early detection, examination, drug administration, and education, as well as screening for the complication, needs to be evaluated. AIMS: This study aimed to analyze the profile and lifestyle of hypertensive patients and health services in PHC as one of the catastrophic diseases in Indonesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS : This was a cross-sectional study design with total sampling. The study was held in one of the PHC in Surabaya from May 2018 until August 2018. The s ample size was 104. Data were collected using questionnaires, physical, and laboratory examinations as well as secondary data from the medical record. The statistical analysis was performed at a significance p < 0.005 using the Chi-square test. RESULTS: The majority were women with age >60 years and two-thirds of all hypertensive cases had uncontrolled blood pressure (69.2%). Laboratory results showed abnormalities: Dyslipidemia (50.5%), high fasting blood sugar (38.6%), and high uric acid (10.1%). Nearly one-third of patients (27.9%) already had abnormalities in the electrocardiography (ECG) since the procedure been done rarely. Contrarily, most of them committed to a healthy diet and taking the medication regularly in line with doctor’s education when they visit PHC. Regarding exercise, most of them stated not to do it regularly. CONCLUSION: The majority of the hypertensive patients had uncontrolled blood pressure and unhealthy lifestyle worsening the disease.

Introduction: The asbestos industry actively tries to delay adequate asbestos protection regulation in workplaces by systematic manipulation and scientific misconduct. This research aims to compile several of their efforts throughout the years to study their efforts and prevent them. Methods: A literature review was conducted to explore instances of scientific misconduct in occupational health studies related to asbestos in November 2022. The sources were taken from Google Scholar and PubMed. From the entire search, 6 relevant studies were reviewed. Results: Throughout the world, the asbestos industry has been responsible for delays in adequate asbestos regulations. Several systematic scientific misconduct regarding asbestos use happened in 1930s United States, as well as fraudulent research regarding asbestos in early 2000s Brasil. Scientific misconducts can directly influence the direction of occupational health research involving asbestos exposure, resulting in delays in adequate regulation implementation.Conclusions: The dangers of asbestos to workers exposed is already firmly established. The asbestos industry has been deliberately manipulating scientific data to sway corporate and public views to prolong the viability of asbestos production and daily use. They achieved this using industry-backed scientific discourse, direct manipulation of research data, as well as direct manipulation of research data publication.

Introduction: Sleep disorder commonly happens to teenagers and adults because of light exposure during sleep that affects sleep quality, but the relation of lamp light exposure during sleep and sleep quality of medical students hasn’t been determined previously. Objective: This research aimed to determine the relation of lamp light exposure and sleep quality of Universitas Airlangga’s medical students and to give further information about the right adjustment of lamp light exposure to improve the sleep quality of medical student. Methods: Variables in this cross-sectional designed research were lamp light exposure (on or off) as the independent variable and sleep quality as a dependent variable. The research used the PSQI questionnaire to decide the sleep quality of 115 subjects once a week in a month. The collected data were analyzed by chi-square and fisher’s exact test. Results: Based on the chi-square test, the p-value for lamp light exposure and sleep quality was more than 0.05 (p = 0.863). The results also showed that 74.8%  of medical students had bad quality sleep. Conclusion : In conclusion, there was no relation between lamp light exposure and sleep quality. This research also indicated that most of the subjects had a bad sleep quality so that student should increase their needs for better sleep quality to maintain performance.
