ABSTRACT
Background: The organ donation in India was very low when compared to other countries. As the medical students were future health care professionals who were the first contact of potential donors family, the knowledge and attitude of medical students towards organ donation is of utmost important for the success of the organ donation program in a country. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of medical students regarding organ donation at Government Medical College, Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, India. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted among third year medical under graduate students of a Government Medical College between January to March 2023. Data was collected by structured, self-administered questionnaire from 141 third year MBBS students who were selected by convenient sampling. A structured, self-administered questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was used, which includes details on socio demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and practice towards organ donation. Results: The findings showed that a majority (90%) of the students had satisfactory knowledge regarding organ donation, 80% of the medical students expressed their willingness to donate their organs. Which implies there was a gap between knowledge and attitude. Conclusion: The study indicates that there is a need to introduce this topic into the curriculum, and by conducting frequent Continuing Medical Education (CME), they can become future donors and they motivate their patients, which can lead to an increase in organ donation rate.

ABSTRACT
Cervical cancer caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is ranked as the second most common cancer among women worldwide and is a major cause of female mortality. Two vaccines against HPV have been approved and recommended for use in India. However, the availability of the vaccines is hardly known and utilised, even among the medical community. To assess the knowledge and attitude and acceptance of cervical cancer and human papilloma virus vaccine among medical students. In this cross sectional study, 150 medical students of age group > 18 years were included. A self administered, validated questionnaire for knowledge of symptoms, screening, risk factors for cervical cancer and HPV vaccine and also the acceptability of HPV vaccine was assessed over duration from December 2022 to March 2023 in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Anantapur, India. The data obtained was analysed with descriptive statistics by using Microsoft excel 2019.The results show 98.4% of students were aware that cervical cancer is caused by HPV, but only 84.7% knew that HPV vaccine was available. About 72% felt the need to get vaccinated in future; 97.3% of students knew that pap smear was used to screen for cervical cancer, but only 63.3% opted to screen themselves or family members in future as they believed that they were not at risk.In the present study, although the knowledge was satisfactory, a gap was found between the knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer and HPV vaccine and there is a need for creating awareness among health care professionals.

ABSTRACT
Leprosy is one of the endemic disease problems that is exacerbated by poor social stigma in society, causing many sufferers to be reluctant to come to health facilities. This causes delays in diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on various fields of life, especially in the health sector. Health workers are at the forefront of dealing directly with patients so that they are most affected by the transmission of Covid-19, the transmission of Covid-19 transmission to health workers has become an issue in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021-2022 at the Naibonat Health Center, 28 health workers were confirmed positive for Covid-19. The increase in these cases of course raises problems, especially the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health workers which is very minimal. This study aims to describe the prevention of Covid-19 in health workers at the Naibonat Public Health Center in 2021, the type of descriptive research with purposive sampling technique. This study involved 6 health workers. Data collection techniques used by interviews, documentation, and distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis used qualitatively. The results showed that the availability of PPE at the Naibonat Health Center at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 was still very minimal in terms of quantity (amount) and also puskesmas access to PPE, but after 2020-2022 the availability was sufficient because there was a lot of assistance from various institutions. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in preventing the transmission of Covid-19 at the Naibonat Health Center use the SOPs regulated by the Ministry of Health in 2020. Advice for health centers, although currently there are no difficulties in procuring PPE, it still requires careful planning in the procurement process in the future. future. This is because there is no certainty when the Covid-19 pandemic will end.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Tuberculosis is a transmissible infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. Ocular tuberculosis is rare representing between 1% to 18% of all forms of tuberculosis and only 0.3% of patients develop the orbital form. The focus is usually unilateral, we report through this observation a case of bilateral orbital tuberculosis in a 12 year old girl. Observation: A 12-year-old girl was admitted to the department of infectious and tropical diseases of the National Hospital of Zinder for long term fever and violent headache. The ophthalmological examination revealed a visual acuity of 1/10 on the right, absence of light perception on the left and bilateral exophthalmos. Biomicroscopic examination showed superficial punctate keratitis bilaterally, a normal fundus on the right and left atrophy. In view of the long-lasting fever and the biological inflammatory syndrome, the diagnosis of tuberculosis was evoked. The tuberculin intradermal test (IDR) was positive and the search for BK in the bronchial lavage revealed BAARs. HIV serology was negative. The standard chest X-ray was normal but the CT scan of the orbito- cerebral cavity showed two cystic foci with grade III exophthalmos. After 3 months of anticillary treatment the evolution was considered satisfactory. Conclusion: The orbital involvement of tuberculosis was generally unilateral, its bilateral localization is unusual. It must be systematically evoked in front of any case of bilateral exophthalmos especially in an infectious context in order to avoid irrevesible vsion loss.

ABSTRACT
Kupang City is an endemic area for mosquito vector-based diseases. The incidence of mosquito vector-based diseases has increased since 2017 with 32 cases per 100,000 population increasing in 2019 to 156 per 100,000 population and as of April 2020 there were 610 cases reported. The environment is one of the determinants of the incidence of mosquito vector-based diseases, both in the form of the physical, biological and social environment. Climate is classified in the physical environment that influences the pattern of mosquito vector-based disease. Certain climatic conditions can increase the risk of disease transmission. This study was carried out with the aim of knowing the effect of the variability of climatic factors in the form of air temperature, humidity and wind speed on the incidence of mosquito vector-based diseases in Kupang City in 2020. Analysis of the effect was carried out using secondary data, namely monthly mosquito vector-based disease data obtained from Eleven health centers in Kupang City and climate factors for the same period were obtained from the BMKG Climatology Station of Kupang City. Test the effect using multiple linear regression analysis partially (t test) and simultaneously (F test). The results of the t-test showed that air temperature and wind speed had no significant effect (significance = 0.714 and 0.889 > 0.05) while air humidity had a positive effect on mosquito vector-based diseases (significance = 0.001 < 0.05). Simultaneously, the F test showed that humidity had an effect on mosquito vector-based diseases (significance = 0.000 < 0.05).
