Drug resistance of tuberculosis patients at the makassar city community lung health center hospital: Case Study
Full text linkIntroduction: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB-RO) is still a health problem because of its rapid transmission with an increasing number of cases.
Objective: This study aims to discover in-depth patient knowledge about tuberculosis and the family's role in treating drug-resistant tuberculosis patients.
Methods: This research uses a qualitative case study approach with nine informants. The selection of informants was determined using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was obtained through interviews and observations. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively.
Result: The research shows that informants' knowledge about drug-resistant tuberculosis depends on their educational history. In contrast, informants with low educational backgrounds only know the term tuberculosis but do not know the causes and dangers of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Another thing that was found was that the family also played a role in the patient's treatment by providing support and encouragement for the informant during the treatment period.
Conclusion: This research concludes that the informant's knowledge about tuberculosis plays an essential role in the occurrence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. The role of the family does not contribute to the occurrence of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the informant. It can be concluded that the earlier the age of menarche increases the risk of uterine myoma later in life. In contrast, slower menarche may be associated with a reduced risk of myomas. Other factors such as genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors also influence the incidence of uterine myomas, but menarche age is one of the significant hormonal indicators of risk

Environment that causes diseases: article review
Full text linkIntroduction: Environmentally induced diseases have become a global concern due to their significant impact on public health. The environment plays a significant role in increasing or decreasing the risk of disease through various factors, such as air, water, and soil pollution and exposure to hazardous chemicals. This review aims to analyze the literature on environmental factors that trigger diseases, including infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and mental health disorders, and to understand the mechanisms and impacts caused.
Research Methodology: This study used a systematic literature review of scientific articles, research reports, and other reliable sources published in the last two decades. Data were collected, analyzed, and grouped based on the type of environmental factors and their association with various diseases.
Result: Studies have shown that air pollution is a major cause of chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), while water pollution and poor sanitation trigger outbreaks of infectious diseases such as diarrhea and cholera. Exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as pesticides and heavy metals, also contributes to increased risks of cancer and neurological disorders. In addition, environmental degradation, such as deforestation and climate change, exacerbate the spread of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever.
Conclusion: An unhealthy environment is key in triggering various diseases that endanger public health. Mitigation efforts, such as reducing pollution, improving water quality, and protecting ecosystems, are essential to minimize adverse health impacts. The study recommends increasing cross-sector collaboration and strengthening environmental policies to create an environment that supports public health
