Abstract

Background: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infections lead to nutritional disorder and anemia among children. Albendazole 400 mg is used to control STH, although it has a low cure rate for Trichuris trichiura. The effectiveness of albendazole could be increased by giving a dose of 400 mg for 3 consecutive days. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the triple-dose albendazole 400 mg course in decreasing STH and anemia prevalence.Methods: This study used an experimental comparative design conducted in July 2016 and January 2017 in Perobatang Village, Southwest Sumba, Indonesia. Children aged 1–15 years were asked to collect fecal samples to be examined using a Kato-Katz method. Hemoglobin level (Hb) was tested using a rapid test diagnostic strip. STH positive subjects were given 400 mg of albendazole for 3 days witnessed by the researchers. Six months after, the stool samples and Hb levels were re-examined (post-test).Results: From the 156 subjects examined (pretest), the prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm were 65.4%, 55.8%, and 15.4%, respectively, and the prevalence of anemia was 71.2%. On post-test, the prevalence of A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, and hookworm decreased to 8.3%, 12.8%, and 0%, respectively, and the prevalence of anemia decreased to 25%. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of STH infection and anemia before and after the administration of triple-dose albendazole (p=0.001).Conclusion: The triple-dose albendazole is effective in reducing the prevalence of STH and anemia in children with STH infection.

Abstract

Pain is one of the most common complaints and interferes with the quality of life of cancer patients. Several studies recommend multimodal interventions that combine pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Acupuncture therapy is one of the non-pharmacological treatment options that could be considered. This evidence-based case report aimed to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in reducing pain intensity in patients with cancer pain. Literature searching was performed on three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Embase). The keywords used are cancer pain, malignant pain, acupuncture, acupuncture therapy, pain intensity, pain assessment, pain scale. The critical review was carried out using guidelines from the University of Oxford Center for Evidence-based Medicine. Four articles relevant to the clinical question were included in the study. Acupuncture therapy has been consistently shown to reduce pain intensity, shorter pain onset time, reduced dose and number of analgesics used, and better quality of life with minimal side effects, compared to drug therapy alone. Acupuncture therapy should be considered as a complementary therapy in the management of cancer pain, but not to replace standard regiment of pain protocols. Clinical decisions in applying acupuncture therapy need to assess patient preferences, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.
