“…Our results also demonstrated that excessive use of digital screens, especially with the device closer to the eye, is more likely to induce myopic development. The World Health Organization (WHO) offers a guideline to limit sedentary screen time for kids under 5 years old ( 33 ). Hence, parents should ask their kids to keep a safe distance while reading in online classes or to adopt alternative products like TV or projectors with relatively longer reading distance.…”

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic restricts children and adolescents from doing normal daily activities such as playing outdoors and going to school. The incidence and prevalence of myopia have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the impact of the home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic on the progression of myopia among children and adolescents in Chongqing, China.Methods: The survey was conducted by using stratified samplings. Samples were randomly selected from the 2019 National Student Physique and Health Survey database, and their visual function and refractive data were compared with those in 2020. Vision-related behavior questionnaire including digital screen exposure was applied to investigate the correlation between eye parameter and eye health-related behavior.Results: A total of 1,733 and 1,728 students were enrolled in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The percentage of myopia students was 55.02% in 2020, which was higher than that in 2019 (44.62%). The mean uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA, LogMAR, 0.35 ± 0.42) in 2020 was higher than that in 2019 (0.27 ± 0.36, P < 0.001). The mean spherical equivalent (SE) refraction (−1.94 ± 2.13 D) in 2020 was lower than that in 2019 (−1.64 ± 5.49 D, P < 0.001). For students who used digital devices for online courses, the mean SE in the television group (−1.10 ± 1.49 D) was better than that in the computer group (−2.03 ± 2.37 D, P = 0.0017) and in the cell phone group (−2.02 ± 2.09 D, P = 0.0028). The average duration of online classes (r = −0.27, P < 0.0001), the number of online classes per day (r = −0.33, P < 0.0001), as well as digital screen exposure time (r = −0.20, P < 0.0001) were negatively correlated with SE, and the average time of outdoor activity (r = 0.20, P < 0.0001) was positively correlated with SE.Conclusions: Increased digital screen exposure contributes to myopic progression in children and adolescents of Chongqing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Suitable digital devices should be provided for online classes and outdoor activity should be advocated to prevent myopic pandemic.

“…French national guidelines and others, such as the NICE guidelines from the United Kingdom, recommend systematic antibioprophylactic treatment for 0-2-year-old children regardless of the type of contact with an index case (7)(8)(9). Adherence to anti-TB chemoprophylaxis might be poor, and treatment might be associated with side effects (23)(24)(25)(26). In our study, of the 32 children younger than 2 years who had intermediate-or low-risk contact, 26 (81%) did not receive prophylactic treatment, and none developed TB.…”

Tuberculosis in 0–5-year-old children following TB contact investigations: a retrospective study in a low burden setting

et al. 2023

IntroductionWe assessed the risk of tuberculosis (TB), the management and the outcomes of 0–5-year-old children after TB contact investigations in a low-burden setting.MethodAll 0–5-year-old children who attended the TB clinic of Robert Debre Hospital, Paris, France, for a TB contact investigation between June 2016 and December 2019 were included in this retrospective study. The risk factors for TB were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses.ResultsA total of 261 children were included. Forty-six (18%) had TB, including 37 latent tuberculosis infections (LTBIs) and 9 active TB diseases. The prevalence of TB was 21% among high-risk contacts, i.e., household or close contacts and regular or casual contacts. There was no TB among intermediate- or low-risk contacts (0/42). Living under the same roof with (OR: 19.8; 95% CI: 2.6–153), the BCG vaccine (OR: 3.2; 95% CI: 1.2–8.3), contact duration >40 h (OR: 7.6; 95% CI: 2.3–25.3) and sleeping in the room of the index case (OR: 3.9; 95% CI: 1.3–11.7) were independently associated with TB. The BCG vaccine was no longer associated when the analysis was restricted to interferon gamma release assay results. Among children without initial LTBI, antibiotic prophylaxis was not prescribed for 2–5-year-old children or for 32/36 (89%) of 0–2-year-old children who had intermediate- or low-risk contact. Overall, none of these children experienced TB.ConclusionIn our low prevalence setting, the risk of TB in 0–5-year-old children following a household or close contact was high. Further studies are needed to better assess prophylaxis recommendations in intermediate or low risk contact.

Penularan Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) merupakan penyebab utama infeksi secara global. Penularan terjadi di dalam rumah dan di luar rumah, termasuk dalam satuan Pendidikan Sekolah. Pengabdian menggunakan sebuah metode untuk menangani kasus MTB berupa Gerakan Pemberdayaan (GEBER), Bina Suasana dan Advokasi. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah terbentuknya Kelompok Peduli Tuberkulosis (TBC) untuk menemukan suspeks TBC pada siswa, terbentuknya kawasan sadar TBC, dan revitalisasi UKS melalui terbentuknya kepengurusan Sekolah Sehat.
