Peningkatan Kapasitas Promosi Digital pada UMKM Wisata Kuliner Cafe Sawah Glagahwero melalui Pendampingan dan Implementasi Branding
No full textThis community service activity aims to enhance the digital promotional capacity of Cafe Sawah Glagahwero's culinary tourism through mentoring and implementing branding strategies. Cafe Sawah is a village asset managed by a Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) with significant potential to support nature-based tourism but is hampered by limited digital literacy and suboptimal promotional strategies. The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method was used, encompassing observation, branding strategy design, digital content creation assistance, promotional implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The mentoring results demonstrate improved management skills in photography, videography, content editing, and social media management. The branding implementation resulted in a consistent visual identity, an increase in the number of Instagram followers from 0 to 360 with a 7.8% engagement rate, and an increase in customer visits. These findings confirm that the synergy between human resource capacity building and digital promotional efforts can strengthen brand image, increase competitiveness, and provide sustainable economic benefits for the village community. This program is expected to become a model for developing other village assets utilizing digital technology and branding strategies
Physiochemical characteristics, nutritional properties and health benefits of palm oil: A review
No full textSince some decades palm oil obtained from tropical plant, Elaeis guineneensis has become major concern due to its high yielding characters. It can solve many health-related issues of humans and also used as economic development tool by many countries. It is basically lipid, which is extracted from mesocrap, a flashy part of palm oil tree. This oil is higher in oleic acid and lower in palmatic acid, so it is easy to process into vegetable oil. In crude palm oil, there are approximately 11 distinct carotenoids. Amongst these, Alfa and beta carotenes are the two most important carotenoids in palm oil. Palm oil, as an antioxidant, is frequently used to treat cancer in addition to being a nutrient-rich source of food, making it very significant for human health. Palm oil's fatty saturated acid to unsaturated acid ratio is very near to one. There is discussion about its effects on the environment as well as human health, so we decided to review all the articles related physiochemical characteristics, nutritional properties and health benefits of palm oil. In conclusion, palm oil emerges as a versatile commodity with significant economic and nutritional value, highlighted by its high productivity and diverse applications. However, the balance between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in palm oil necessitates careful consideration due to its implications for cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health. As research continues to unveil both benefits and concerns associated with palm oil consumption, further exploration and nuanced understanding are crucial for informed decision-making and sustainable utilization in various sectors. © 2020 The Author(s

Patient and dentist perspectives on collecting patient reported outcomes after painful dental procedures in the National Dental PBRN
No full textSUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 1: Provider and patient semi-structured interview questionsDATA AVAILABILITY : The datasets generated and/or analyzed during the current study are not publicly available as they consist of transcripts that convey the thoughts and opinions of the providers and patients that were interviewed. Informed consent was obtained for using these data as part of the specific study only and not for wider sharing or distribution. Fully deidentified data are however available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.BACKGROUND : Dental Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) relate to a dental patient’s subjective experience of their oral health. How practitioners and patients value PROs influences their successful use in practice.
METHODS : Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 practitioners and 32 patients who provided feedback on using a mobile health (mHealth) platform to collect the pain experience after dental procedures. A themes analysis was conducted to identify implementation barriers and facilitators.
RESULTS : Five themes were uncovered: (1) Sense of Better Care. (2) Tailored Follow-up based on the dental procedure and patient’s pain experience. (3) Effective Messaging and Alerts. (4) Usable Digital Platform. (5) Routine mHealth Integration.
CONCLUSION : Frequent automated and preferably tailored follow-up messages using an mHealth platform provided a positive care experience for patients, while providers felt it saved them time and effort. Patients thought that the mHealth questionnaires were well-developed and of appropriate length. The mHealth platform itself was perceived as user-friendly by users, and most would like to continue using it.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS : Patients are prepared to use mobile phones to report their pain experience after dental procedures. Practitioners will be able to close the post-operative communication gap with their patients, with little interruption of their workflow.The National Institutes of Health through a grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research with additional infrastructure and study-specific funding from NIDCR.https://bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.comhj2024Dental Management SciencesSDG-03:Good heatlh and well-bein
The Global Retinoblastoma Outcome Study: a prospective, cluster-based analysis of 4064 patients from 149 countries
No full textBackground Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular cancer worldwide. There is some evidence to suggest that major differences exist in treatment outcomes for children with retinoblastoma from different regions, but these differences have not been assessed on a global scale. We aimed to report 3-year outcomes for children with retinoblastoma globally and to investigate factors associated with survival. Methods We did a prospective cluster-based analysis of treatment-naive patients with retinoblastoma who were diagnosed between Jan 1,2017, and Dec 31,2017, then treated and followed up for 3 years. Patients were recruited from 260 specialised treatment centres worldwide. Data were obtained from participating centres on primary and additional treatments, duration of follow-up, metastasis, eye globe salvage, and survival outcome. We analysed time to death and time to enucleation with Cox regression models. Findings The cohort included 4064 children from 149 countries. The median age at diagnosis was 23.2 months (IQR 11.0-36.5). Extraocular tumour spread (cT4 of the cTNMH classification) at diagnosis was reported in five (0.8%) of 636 children from high-income countries, 55 (5.4%) of 1027 children from upper-middle-income countries, 342 (19. 7%) of 1738 children from lower-middle-income countries, and 196 (42.9%) of 457 children from low-income countries. Enudeation surgery was available for all children and intravenous chemotherapy was available for 4014 (98.8%) of 4064 children. The 3-year survival rate was 99.5% (95% CI 98.8-100.0) for children from high-income countries, 91.2% (89.5-93.0) for children from upper-middle-income countries, 80.3% (78.3-82.3) for children from lower-middle-income countries, and 57.3% (524-63-0) for children from low-income countries. On analysis, independent factors for worse survival were residence in low-income countries compared to high-income countries (hazard ratio 16.67; 95% CI 4.76-50.00), cT4 advanced tumour compared to cT1 (8.98; 4.44-18.18), and older age at diagnosis in children up to 3 years (1.38 per year; 1.23-1.56). For children aged 3-7 years, the mortality risk decreased slightly (p=0.0104 for the change in slope). Interpretation This study, estimated to include approximately half of all new retinoblastoma cases worldwide in 2017, shows profound inequity in survival of children depending on the national income level of their country of residence. In high-income countries, death from retinoblastoma is rare, whereas in low-income countries estimated 3-year survival is just over 50%. Although essential treatments are available in nearly all countries, early diagnosis and treatment in low-income countries are key to improving survival outcomes. Copyright (C) 2022 The Author(s).

Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants
No full textZhou B, Carrillo-Larco RM, Danaei G, et al. Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants. LANCET. 2021;398(10304):957-980.Background Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. Methods We used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30-79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blood pressure treatment. We defined hypertension as having systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or greater, or taking medication for hypertension. We applied a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and the proportion of people with hypertension who had a previous diagnosis (detection), who were taking medication for hypertension (treatment), and whose hypertension was controlled to below 140/90 mm Hg (control). The model allowed for trends over time to be non-linear and to vary by age. Findings The number of people aged 30-79 years with hypertension doubled from 1990 to 2019, from 331 (95% credible interval 306-359) million women and 317 (292-344) million men in 1990 to 626 (584-668) million women and 652 (604-698) million men in 2019, despite stable global age-standardised prevalence. In 2019, age-standardised hypertension prevalence was lowest in Canada and Peru for both men and women; in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and some countries in western Europe including Switzerland, Spain, and the UK for women; and in several low-income and middle-income countries such as Eritrea, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Solomon Islands for men. Hypertension prevalence surpassed 50% for women in two countries and men in nine countries, in central and eastern Europe, central Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. Globally, 59% (55-62) of women and 49% (46-52) of men with hypertension reported a previous diagnosis of hypertension in 2019, and 47% (43-51) of women and 38% (35-41) of men were treated. Control rates among people with hypertension in 2019 were 23% (20-27) for women and 18% (16-21) for men. In 2019, treatment and control rates were highest in South Korea, Canada, and Iceland (treatment >70%; control >50%), followed by the USA, Costa Rica, Germany, Portugal, and Taiwan. Treatment rates were less than 25% for women and less than 20% for men in Nepal, Indonesia, and some countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Control rates were below 10% for women and men in these countries and for men in some countries in north Africa, central and south Asia, and eastern Europe. Treatment and control rates have improved in most countries since 1990, but we found little change in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Improvements were largest in high-income countries, central Europe, and some upper-middle-income and recently high-income countries including Costa Rica, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Turkey, and Iran. Interpretation Improvements in the detection, treatment, and control of hypertension have varied substantially across countries, with some middle-income countries now outperforming most high-income nations. The dual approach of reducing hypertension prevalence through primary prevention and enhancing its treatment and control is achievable not only in high-income countries but also in low-income and middle-income settings.
