The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, i.e. 15–250 Vascular calcification is a major complication of diabetes mellitus, driven by hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which collectively promote osteogenic transdifferentiation...

Background, Menopausal symptom severity is influenced by hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory factors; however, their relative contributions remain incompletely understood. This exploratory study investigated the associations of body composition, serum estradiol, total cholesterol, and tumor necrosis...

The persistence of tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health concern; approximately a quarter of the population carries a latent TB infection (LTBI), with 5-10% advancing to active disease. Current assays, like interferon-gamma release assays and tuberculin skin tests, cannot reliably differentiate contained...

Malaria remains a major global health burden amid rising concerns over artemisinin resistance, highlighting the need for new antimalarial candidates with broader mechanisms of action. This study aimed to identify the antimalarial potential of Allium tuberosum phytoconstituents through an integrated network...

Anemia is one of the largest contributing factors to the Maternal Mortality Rate in Indonesia. This research is urgent because the incidence of anemia among pregnant women in Malang city has increased over the past 2years, and Malang city ranks third highest in East Java. One approach that can be taken...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is known as a primary sucrose crop and, especially the leaf, as a potential source of pharmacologically active secondary metabolites. However, comparative phytochemical data across various industrial types and cultivation areas remain limited. This study aimed to...

Breast cancer progression is shaped by reciprocal interactions among malig-nant cells, stroma, and immune cells. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), also known as gelatinase B, degrades type IV collagen of the basement membrane and functions as a pleiotropic regulator of invasion, angiogenesis, epithelial–mesenchymal...

Background Reproductive health knowledge during adolescence is essential for informed health decisions; however, access to structured education and opportunities to discuss reproductive health topics may vary among vocational high school students. Understanding students’ knowledge and...

Nurses are frontline healthcare workers who play a vital role in the patient recovery process. However, behind this role, nurses face multidimensional and complex occupational hazards. These risks include biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic hazards, as well as psychosocial stressors that can significantly...

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that frequently experiences diagnostic delays due to its non-specific symptoms. One of the causes of diagnostic delay is the inability of primary healthcare providers, particularly general practitioners and midwives, to detect endometriosis early in primary...

The shift of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) toward younger demographics increases early-onset vascular complications such as diabetic foot ulcers. While standard clinical care enforces strict mechanical offloading, prolonged immobilization often impairs peripheral blood flow. Non-weight-bearing Buerger-Allen...

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) commonly experience difficulties in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), including self-feeding, dressing, personal hygiene, and activity transitions, limiting independence and participation. Although functional rehabilitation can improve adaptive functioning,...

Research on midwife-delivered interventions for prenatal depression has increased substantially, yet a comprehensive understanding of publication trends, thematic evolution, and collaboration patterns remains limited. This bibliometric analysis aims to identify and evaluate scientific literature regarding...

Polyhydramnios is an excess of amniotic fluid that may indicate maternal disease, fetal anomalies, genetic etiology, or increased perinatal risk. This scoping review mapped evidence on definitions, etiologies, fetal anomalies, genetic findings, and perinatal outcomes associated with polyhydramnios. Using...

Background/Objectives: Regular physical activity induces beneficial physio-logical adaptations; however, poorly programmed weekly training volumes may disrupt redox homeostasis and contribute to structural tissue damage. This study evaluates the dose–response relationship between cumulative weekly exercise...

Background Physical exercise is widely recognized as a potent non-pharmacological strategy that yields substantial immunological and clinical benefits. However, conventional literature frequently relies on binary comparisons (active versus inactive), thereby limiting the mechanistic understanding...

Metabolic syndrome is typically managed by treating each component of cardio-metabolic risk factors separately. Mobile applications have the critical role in health services, such as for metabolic syndrome patients’ improvement in self-management behaviour. This study intended to determine the effect...

Sleep disturbances and mental-emotional distress during pregnancy represent common public health challenges that elevate the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical activity, serve as safer complementary strategies to improve sleep quality and...

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is a critical determinant of skeletal strength and osteoporosis risk. Young adulthood is a pivotal period for achieving peak bone mass; however, sedentary behavior threatens optimal bone development. Regular physical activity—particularly weight-bearing and resistance exercise—provides...

Introduction and Purpose Sedentary behavior among adolescents has increased due to technological and lifestyle changes, contributing to adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. Although physical activity is considered protective, evidence regarding its role in mitigating sedentary-related risks...

Background /Objectives: Rising sedentary behavior and declining physical activity among adolescents have intensified the global burden of obesity and metabolic risk. Schools offer a uniquely scalable environment for intervention, yet evidence remains fragmented regarding how structured...
