Hajj pilgrims must have certain vaccines for pilgrimage; these requirements aim to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. This study analyzed the trends in vaccine adherence for meningitis, yellow fever, and polio from January 2017- December 2019. These trends can help in guiding future policymaking to prevent outbreaks during Hajj and similar mass gatherings. We analyzed data using descriptive statistics for Hajj pilgrims and Hajj seasonal workers arriving in Saudi Arabia over three years (2017–2019). Health Control Centers (HCCs) collected data at points-of-entry (PoE) and entered it into Saudi Arabia’s Health Electronic Surveillance Network (HESN). We reviewed HESN data to collect information on total passengers arriving per country and the number of passengers vaccinated for: meningococcal meningitis, poliomyelitis, and yellow fever. We compared data to identify the difference in vaccination by region. We used chi-square tests to assess differences in compliance rate among these travelers by year and country of origin. The number of participating countries increased from 113 to 132. Meningitis vaccine coverage increased by 5% from 2017–2019. The increase was not statistically significant. Asia had the lowest overall adherence rate (83%). Yellow fever adherence decreased significantly using a difference of mean adherence between 2017 and 2019 (p-value 0.01). Polio vaccination adherence decreased by 5% from 2017 to 2019; this was not significant (p-value = 0.08). The vaccine coverage increased for meningitis and decreased for yellow fever and polio. Less than 100% vaccine adherence among Hajj travelers creates the potential for the spread of infectious diseases. Proof of vaccination should be required in submitted visa applications. Countries of origin and Saudi Arabia must work together to ensure that all Hajjis are adequately vaccinated before departure.

Anemia can be related to several factors, including knowledge, body mass index, and menstrual patterns. Adolescent girls are a high-risk group who experience anemia. This study aims to analyze the hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls about knowledge, body mass index, and patterns menstrual. Information on the relationship between hemoglobin levels and these factors expects to be a reference for strategies to overcome anemia in adolescent girls. The sample of this research is the students of Martapura Indonesia vocational high school, totaling 45 people. Data collection includes weight and height measurements, hemoglobin examination (using Easy Touch GCHb), and questionnaires. Data analysis used bivariate analysis of chi-square test with 0.05 with 95% confidence degree. Results Respondents had fewer hemoglobin levels 47%, normal 53%. The body mass index value of respondents is less than 85%, normal 13%, excess 2%. The respondent's menstrual pattern obtained 26% abnormal data, 74% normal data. Knowledge of anemia of respondents with enough category 34%, good category 66%. The conclusion is that there is no relationship between hemoglobin levels and body mass index (p-value 0.281), menstrual patterns (p-value 0.073), and knowledge of anemia (p-value 0.402) in adolescent girls. Hemoglobin levels may more influence by the consumption pattern of foods containing iron, so it recommends that young women consume more iron-rich foods and avoid the simultaneous consumption of substances that inhibit their absorption, such as tea and coffee.

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) particles are a new generation of materials reported to remineralize enamel lesions. The purpose we aimed was to compare the in vitro effects of fluoride gel, sodium fluoride toothpaste, and homemade nHAP paste on remineralizing artificial early enamel caries. Methods: Incipient caries were induced in 21 extracted, sound premolar teeth by storing each specimen in a demineralization solution for 72 hours, followed by pH cycling. The samples (n= 7, each) were then treated with 2% neutral fluoride gel, 0.25% sodium fluoride toothpaste, or homemade nHAP paste, comprising a mixture of nHAP powder and olive oil. After demineralization and remineralization, the results were compared using the DIAGNOdent pen (KaVo, Germany). The data were statistically analyzed using paired t-tests and a one-way ANOVA test. Outcomes: The degree of demineralization in each of the three groups (fluoride gel group, 15.71; sodium fluoride dentifrice group, 15.28; nHAP paste group, 16.71) was significantly elevated compared to baseline (3, 2.5, 2.28, respectively); however, no significant difference was observed between the remineralization readings in each of the three groups (6, 7, 5.5, respectively) (p > 0.05). In conclusion, we concluded that the homemade nHAP paste had a beneficial effect on the remineralization of initial enamel caries lesions.

Candida albicans is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen that is responsible for the majority of fungal infections in humans. In healthy individuals, Candida colonizes mainly on the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity, digestive tract, skin and genitals. Dracontomelon dao or known as Sengkuang has been used as a traditional medicine for various diseases. Based on various studies, Dracontomelon dao extract is reported to exhibit antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to analyze the antifungal activity of the ethanol extract of sengkuang (Dracontomelon dao) leaves on the growth of Candida albicans. The study used 96% ethanol extract by macerating the simplicia leaves of Dracontomelon dao originating from South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The antifungal activity was tested by well diffusion method at various concentrations of the test extract (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%). The results showed that the average diameter of the inhibition zones at concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% 50% were 19.2 mm, 21.8 mm, 23.2 mm, 24.8 mm, 27 mm, respectively. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the ethanolic extract of sengkuang (Dracontomelon dao) leaves had antifungal properties against the growth of Candida albicans with the most effective concentration at a concentration of 50% with an average zone diameter of 27 mm. The content of phytochemical compounds from sengkuang leaf extract (Dracontomelon dao) are flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids. This secondary metabolite is thought to be able to inhibit the growth of the fungus Candida albicans. The ethanol extract of sengkuang leaves (Dracontomelon dao) has been shown to have antifungal activity in vitro so that it has the potential to be developed as an antifungal agent and can be a new solution in handling cases of Candida albicans infection.
