The level of knowledge of female teenagers plays an important role in shaping attitudes and behaviors for cervical cancer prevention. The purpose of this study is to deter…
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women and remains a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Age is recog- nized as an important risk factor in the development of breast cancer and is thought to be associated with tumor biological characteristics, including molecular sub- types. Molecular subtypes of breast cancer play a crucial role in determining p…
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. It is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to complex management and decline in quality of life. Lung cancer screening and early detection questionnaires have been developed and validated by PDPI-IASTO to evaluate individual risk levels. This study aims to map lung cancer risk factors based on the risk levels …
Breast cancer (BCC) is the most common malignancy in women and is one of the causes of cancer death. Histopathological type plays a crucial role in determining prognosis and patient survival rates. This study aims to analyze survival rates, including overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), based on histopathological type in breast cancer patients at Arifin Achmad Regional Hospita…

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute febrile disease caused by dengue virus infection through the bite of a female Aedes sp. mosquito. In the last few decades, the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever has increased significantly. The purpose of this study was to determine the density level of Aedes sp. larvae as a vector in Labuh Baru Timur Village, Payung Sekaki District, Pekanbaru City. The …
Cervical cancer remains a significant public health problem and is one of the leading diseases affecting the female reproductive system. Early prevention can be initiated during adolescence by improving knowledge about cervical cancer and the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine as a primary preventive strategy. This study aimed to describe the level of knowledge of female students at SMA Kalam K…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a metabolic disorder characterized by excessive lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and may progress to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). High-fat high-cholesterol diet is a major contributing factor that induces steatosis, inflammation, and elevation of liver enzymes such as ALT and AST. Puduong protein hy…
Ankle injury is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and can cause functional impairment and a decline in quality of life.
