Stunting adalah keadaan gagal tumbuh pada anak balita akibat kekurangan gizi kronis. Penyebab masalah pertumbuhan pada awal kehidupan disebabkan oleh masalah kurang gizi, pemberian makanan pendamping air susu ibu terlalu dini atau terlalu lambat, dan pemberian makanan yang tidak sesuai usia. Penelitian ini bertujuanuntuk mengetahui hubungan praktik pemberian makanan dengan kejadian stunting pada balita di Puskesmas Barong Tongkok Kutai Barat. Desain penelitian ini observasional analitik dengan metode kasus kontrol. Data diperoleh dari kuesioner dan data pasien di Puskesmas Barong Tongkok dengan teknik purposive samplingdidapatkan 32 kasus dan 32 kontrol. Analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square dan uji fisher’s exact. Analisis data secara statistik menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara frekuensi makanan dengan p= 0,740 (p lebih besar 0,05), jenis makanan dengan p = 1,000 (p lebih besar 0,05), jumlah makanan dengan p = 0,545 (p lebih besar 0,05), dan praktik pemberian makanan dengan p = 1,000 (p lebih besar 0,05) dengan kejadian stunting. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara frekuensi, jenis, jumlah, dan praktik pemberian makanan dengan kejadian stunting. Pemberian makanan cukup gizi dalam jangka waktu yang pendek mengakibatkan asupan gizi tidak terpenuhi.

The prevention of disease transmission is an effective cost-strategy in controlling COVID-19. The scenario of the control of COVID-19 in Samarinda City consists of 3 phases, namely initial, advanced, and recovery. The outcome of the advanced phase is flattening the transmission curve of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increased proportion of patients in recovery, and an increased culture of preventing disease transmission in society. This study aimed at knowing the influence of the understanding of COVID-19 infographics on the efforts to prevent COVID-19 transmission at the advanced phase. A survey was conducted via social media from April 21st to April 30th, 2020. The preventive actions for the disease transmission as the dependent variable in this study were social distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands, and efforts to enhance the body’s immunity, while the independent variable was the understanding of COVID-19 infographics updated daily. The results of the study showed that the proportion of the population who understood the infographics well was 79.5%, the community participation in practicing social distancing (81.6%), wearing a mask  (50.9%), washing hands as frequently as possible (74.3%), and the efforts to strengthen the body’s immune system (73.6%) with a consistency level of 55.12%. The lowest rate for the activity of social distancing was visiting elders or the people suffering from comorbidities with 54.71%. A good understanding of infographics could increase adherence to the recommendations of social distancing. The implementation of social distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands as frequently as possible, and the efforts to improve the body’s immune system need to be done consistently to prevent the COVID-19 transmission and as a result, the potential transmission could be minimized to optimize the recovery phase and anticipate the possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Obesity is a global health problem which numbers continue to increase from year to year. Obesity is a risk factor for maternal complications and adverse perinatal outcomes. This systematic review aims to evaluate the association of obesity with maternal complications and perinatal outcomes. This systematic review was conducted by searching for studies on databases such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, Science Direct or Clinical Key and the studies observed are studies published in 2016-2020 in Indonesian and English. The results of the study search were obtained as many as 74 studies and 31 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. Of the 31 studies examined, there were 16 studies that analyzed the associtation between obesity and preeclampsia, 25 studies that analyzed the association between obesity and gestational diabetes, 16 studies that analyzed the association between obesity and preterm birth, 15 studies that analyzed the association between obesity and fetal death, and 19 studies that analyzed the association between obesity and macrosomia. Based on this systematic review it can be concluded that obesity was associated with the incidence of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth and macrosomia. But, obesity was not associated with perinatal mortality.

Introduction. Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. On March 2, 2020, Indonesia announced the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection. East Kalimantan will play an important role as the new capital of Indonesia. There is attention to the preparedness of East Kalimantan to respond to COVID-19. We report the characteristics of COVID-19 fatality cases in here. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the fatality cases of COVID-19 patients from the East Kalimantan Health Office information system. All patients were confirmed COVID-19 by RT-PCR examination. Results. By July 31, 2020, 31 fatality cases of patients had been identified as having confirmed COVID-19 in East Kalimantan. The mean age of the patients was 55.1 + 9.2 years. Most of the patients were men (22 [71.0%]) with age more than 60 years old (14 [45.2%]). Balikpapan has the highest number of COVID-19 fatality cases from all regencies. Hypertension was the most comorbidities in the fatality cases of COVID-19 patients in East Kalimantan. Discussion. Older age and comorbidities still contributed to the fatality cases of COVID-19 patients in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease were underlying conditions for increasing the risk of COVID-19 getting into a serious condition. Conclusion. Active surveillance for people older than 60 years old and having underlying diseases is needed for reducing the case fatality rate of COVID-19 in East Kalimantan. Keywords. Comorbidity, fatality cases, COVID-19, Indonesia.

Antropometri adalah salah satu cabang antropologi dan berkaitan dengan pengukuran tubuh manusia. Jarak antar pupil merupakan jarak antara dua pupil mata yang diukur dalam satuan mm. Pengukuran jarak antar pupil merupakan salah satu pengukuran antropometri dan berhubungan dengan berbagai aspek klinis, seperti: pada pasien yang mengalami kelainan refraksi dan perlu dikoreksi menggunakan kacamata, manajemen bedah trauma maksilofasial dan juga membantu menegakkan diagnosis beberapa sindrom. Nilai normal jarak antar pupil berkisar antara 55-70 mm dan jarak antar pupil diketahui bervariasi menurut usia, jenis kelamin dan suku. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur perbedaan nilai jarak antar pupil berdasarkan usia, jenis kelamin dan suku di klinik mata SMEC Samarinda. Desain penelitian ini bersifat analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional.  Data penelitian berasal dari rekam medik seluruh pasien klinik mata SMEC Samarinda pada tahun 2020. Sampel penelitian sebesar 3.552 sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jarak antar pupil pada subjek yang berusia 17-50 tahun sebesar 63,98 mm dan pada subjek berusia >50 tahun sebesar 64,18 mm (p = 0,156). Nilai jarak antar pupil pada laki-laki 65,33 mm dan pada perempuan 62,98 mm (p < 0,001). Jarak antar pupil pada suku Batak 65,05 mm, Sunda 64,29 mm, Jawa 64,25 mm, Banjar 64,05 mm, Kutai 64,00 mm, Dayak 63,84 mm, Toraja 63,60 mm dan suku Bugis 63,27 mm (p = 0,222)
