Abstract : The purpose of the research is to identify the types of injuries, the level of body fitness and to establish patterns of volleyball passing for high school age. In addition, this research and development was carried out to obtain in-depth data on the types of injuries, fitness levels and applications of volleyball passing forms for high school ages and to identify the efficiency, ability and reach of students in the form they are made of. This research is included in descriptive research. The population in this research and development was high school students in Makassar City consisting of 5 high schools, 15 volleyball players in each high school. The sample of the study was 75 determined by the Slovin formula and selected randomly. The instruments used in the study were a questionnaire, as well as a test instrument for the level of physical fitness and volleyball passing consisting of lower passing and upper passing which were used to collect volleyball passing data for high school aged children, while the stages in this research and development were, at stage: (1) needs analysis, (2) expert evaluation (initial product evaluation); (3) limited trials (small group trials); and (4) main trials (field testing). The comparative analysis test used is the parametric statistical test. And the percent value for the effectiveness of volleyball passing, injuries and the level of physical fitness obtained. From the results of the study, it can be concluded the injury factor for students of State Senior High Schools in the City of Makassar is categorized as good, the level of physical fitness of students is categorized as medium, the level of student volleyball passing is categorized as good, the student volleyball passing pattern model is very effective.

Abstract : One of the unresolved problems in Indonesia is stunting, which in several regions has not shown a significant reduction, although it is undeniable that several regions have designed accelerated programs in terms of reducing stunting with broader targets. The results of what has been done have shown a decrease in the number of cases in these areas. The first year of research on developing a model of diet, parenting, and environmental sanitation in the North Toraja district is one of the programs aimed at pregnant women to prevent the birth of children with signs of stunting. This program will continue until the end of 2022 so that the program's effectiveness can be evaluated. This second-year research aims to develop a Northern dietary model, with the addition of complementary feeding interventions to pregnant women in the second trimester (2) which will later evaluate whether there is an effect on childbirth. Model revision of the results found in the first year, namely supplementary feeding has an impact on childbirth. The results of the study showed that: there was no effect of diet on the birth of children with signs of stunting (p = 0.327), there was no effect of parenting style on the birth of children with stunting (p = 0.493), and environmental sanitation did not affect signs of stunting in children with stunting. born (p=1.00). This shows that increasing nutrient intake predicts the cause of the birth of children with better conditions compared to the first-year research. It is hoped that the results of this program can be published in international journals as well as reference material for implementing community health achievements.

Abstract : Corneal biomechanics has been heavily investigated by researchers due to its potential applications in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of several pathologies such as corneal ectasia, refractive surgery, and glaucoma. In the case of corneal ectasia, crosslinking is an effective method to slow or halt the progression of the disease. In 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave clearance for the crosslinking system to treat patients with progressive keratoconus and post-LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses). This review discusses the latest development of Scheimpflug corneal tomography to assess the efficacy of crosslinking and to detect the progressivity of keratoconus in patients post-crosslinking. Corvis-ST is a non-contact tonometry system that allows the assessment of corneal biomechanical properties. The integration of these data into artificial intelligence has demonstrated to improve the accuracy to assess crosslinking efficacy.

Abstract : Malaria cases in Kulon Progo Regency have continued to occur until 2022. There were six additional cases in March 2022, and the elimination of malaria in the Kulon Progo Regency has not been successful. This research aims to develop a control strategy for social and environmental vulnerability to eliminate malaria in the Kulon Progo Regency. In this research, the descriptive-analytic method was used. Additionally, a qualitative approach was used to develop strategies for controlling social and environmental vulnerabilities in Kulon Progo Regency. These strategies include Larvaciding, promoting environmental management, socializing the use of mosquito nets or insecticide-treated nets on each individual's bed at residents' homes, house screening, flooring with plastic or wooden planks accompanied by insecticide-treated roofs and curtains, and spraying insecticides on the doors, walls, and roof of the house. Other strategies for controlling social and environmental vulnerabilities include ensuring that all suspected cases of malaria pass the RDTs and microscopy to confirm the diagnosis, conducting campaigns by adopting the WHO theme "Ready to Beat Malaria", improving inter-sectoral cooperation, and increasing public awareness of malaria.

Abstract : Inguinal hernia is a common problem in our community, and its recurrence after surgery is also common, and may be disabling for the patient. Many surgical techniques are used worldwide for inguinal hernia repair (hernioplasty or herniorrhaphy), but recurrences still a significant problem following these operations. The use of prosthetic meshes (hernioplasty) is added to these techniques increasingly to prevent recurrences. Their uses have been associated with many post-operative advantages, such as low recurrence rate, less postoperative pain, and rapid return to the usual work activities. To show results of using Prolene mesh in inguinal hernia repair in adult patients, with further strengthening of the anterior wall of inguinal canal by suturing external oblique apponeurosis over the mesh, aiming to reduce recurrence rate and rapid return to daily physical activities. Prospective study. Azadi Teaching Hospital and Private Clinics in Kirkuk City. Through the period from February 2013 to December 2015, 58 patients (56 males and 2 females) with an average age of 57.36  12.33 years (range: 22 – 78) were treated with Prolene Mesh Hernioplasty procedure for, primary or recurrent unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia, in Azadi Teaching Hospital and Private Day Care clinics in Kirkuk City. The average operative time was 32 minutes (25-50 minutes). General anaesthesia was used in 28 (43.75%) patients, while spinal anaesthesia in 36 (56.25%). A main post-operative complication was acute wound infection which occurred in 2 (3.4%) patients and they were treated conservatively. Average hospitalization period was 6 (4-12) hours. Most patients returned to work after about 10 days. Our recurrence rate was zero. Prolene mesh-hernioplasty is a safe and effective method in the treatment of inguinal hernias, further guarantee is added by suturing the external oblique apponeurosis over the mesh. Early work resume and no recurrence of the hernia makes this method our choice in the treatment of inguinal hernias.
