MOST FAVORITE WINNER “Repelling the Water” Irene Jessica Leonardy
“Repelling the Water” Irene Jessica Leonardy Background: Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral infection is a global burden, labeled as endemic in more than 100 countries including Indonesia. Its manifestation spectrum is wide from asymptomatic to severe dengue which can lead to severe bleeding, organ impairment and plasma leakage. Dengue prevention methods varies from repellents, insecticides applyment, minimizing skin exposure, electrical swatter and etc. Dengue is mainly transmitted by Aedes aegypti, hence the virus transmission can be overcomed by breaking reproduction chains of mosquito through source reduction on water. This species’ eggs survives for several months and hatches when in contact with water. Instead of source reduction, repellents are widely used in the society to avoid disease exposure although they provide incomplete protection, and only useful around outdoor human activities. Objectives: It is necessary to raise awareness about changing home remedy strategies to “Repelling the Water” not directly by spraying repellents to the water as shown at the photo, but symbollically preventing from water as the source of problem (in the photo repellents vapors are directed as if it targeted the water) by doing source reduction more frequently than spraying repellents. Source reduction is less expensive and more effective than chemical control, executed by looking standing water and removing unneeded water containers or by inserting natural mosquito predator such as ornamental fish, lizards, frogs, and spiders in or surrounding the water. Another way is to add Bacillus thurigiensis israelensis (BTI) as an infectious agent that kills mosquito larvae at standing water but drinkable for other animals; or by adding insect growth regulator (IGR) to inhibit larval development. Conclusion: Change in the society through campaigns and government policies is needed for dengue transmission prevention home remedy strategies into “Repelling the Water” through source reduction more frequently for it is more effective than widely used commercial repellents spray.

AddressingStigmaAround Leprosy With Our “HANDS” Revina Raissa Gunawan; Andrea Melynda Panggalo; Ennia Yuniarti Br Bancin ABSTRACT Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease (HD) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. In 2018, World Health Organization stated that 14,397 out of 208,619 cases of leprosy registered globally were from Indonesia, making Indonesia listed as top three nations with the highest leprosy cases (WHO, 2019). It is estimated there are 6.42 cases per 100,000 people as lepers in Indonesia with Eastern Indonesia are classified as a high lepers endemic area (Kemenkes, 2019). This disease mainly attacks the skin, eyes, and peripheral nerve (PAHO, 2019). It makes society usually feel disgusted and fear to be infected, and these feelings leads society to hatred and social ostracism towards the lepers. The stigma of leprosy has always been associated with a strong negative feeling towards people with leprosy (lepers) relating to the loss or spoiling their moral status as a person (CDC, 2017). This negative stigma is caused by lack of understanding and misconception about the disease, especially in its transmission. Therefore, through this poster, in order to address stigma around Leprosy, we suggest our “HANDS”. “HANDS” is for: Handing goods politely to lepers. Leprosy transmission can be prevented by using mask and hand washing so it’s fine to hand goods politely. Avoiding close and frequent contact to minimize the infection rate Not neglecting lepers, as it is actually a curable disease if the lepers got the prompt treatment. Detecting and do treatment as early as possible since treatment in the early stages may lead to better outcome and prevent disabilities. Sign and Symptoms of leprosy should be known, such as discolored patches of skin, thick and stiff skin, painless ulcer, muscles weakness, also eye problems which may lead to blindness. We hope that “HANDS” could help lighten the negative’s stigma of Leprosy and be more care to lepers.

PREVENT THE FILARIASIS CURSE WITH KAKI GAJAH MANTRA Majesty Patu Buana, Jeane Kinanti Tandung, Irene Jessica Leonardy
ABSTRACT
Background: Filariasis is a zoonotic disease transmitted by mosquitoes that can cause disability. There are 893 million people in 49 countries worldwide who remain threatened by lymphatic filariasis and require preventive chemotherapy to stop the spread of this parasitic infection. 120 million people were infected, with about 40 million disfigured and incapacitated by the disease. In Indonesia there are 10,681 cases which are spread over 34 provinces. Lymphatic filariasis can be prevented by various ways to eliminate worms as the parasitic agent or by stopping the infection through mosquitoes as the vector. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions in the society regarding filariasis labelled as a curse so that they expect healing from a shaman, not medical personnel. This is also concerning because the curse conception creates a stigma that filariasis is not preventable.
Objectives: In line with the government's goal of eliminating filariasis through the month of filariasis elimination (BELKAGA), we are focused on making this happen, especially in Sulawesi with the aim of eliminating public misconceptions about filariasis as a curse that cannot be prevented.
Conclusion: Hence, this poster is designed to give understanding about Filariasis to enrich knowledge and straighten misconceptions about the neglected tropical disease.

PREVENT FILARIASIS BY USING “KELAMBU” Stevens Wijaya, Munzhirul Nur Ilman, Satria Leonardo Simon Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia ABSTRACT Background: Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is an infection caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, a worm trasmitted through mosquito that causes chronic and progressive swelling of the limbs (lymphedema) and testis (hydrocele). The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) which have been set in 2000 by WHO to eliminate LF as a public health problem globally by 2020 will not be achieved by then. This can happen because there are still 25,13% people in the world in 2019 who are at high risk with LF infection and in need of preventive chemotherapy (PC). Indonesia is ranked fourth in the world with 38.258.683 people in need of PC after India with 312.183.577 people, Nigeria with 82.992.655 people, and Democratic Republic of the Congo with 36.946.748 people. The most common symptoms of LF ia a hydrocele and lymphedema. Through this public poster, we want to increase community knowledge on how to prevent and stay away from LF by using “KELAMBU”. Objective: We want to tell the last update information about LF as an infection disease to public, so no more misunderstanding LF as a curse. To increase community knowledge on how to prevent and stay away from LF, and change the status quo of LF from Neglected Tropical Disease.

The Role of Carica Papaya Leaves Extract to Increase Platelet Count in Dengue Patients: A Systematic Review Ratu Basyasyah Cianora; Cherin Majesty Romero; Nur Insani Yamin
ABSTRACT Introduction: Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a viral infection disease transmitted by the bite of an infected female Aedes mosquito with dengue viral. In Indonesia, there were 68.407 cases recorded by the end 2017. By this time, there were much empowerment of natural resources in curating the dengue cases. Carica papaya is one of the major commodities in Indonesia and has therapeutic effects to dengue patients. The extract of Carica papaya leaves contain several active components that have antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects that can increase platelet count considering dengue severity correlated with vascular leakage. In this review we aim to clarify the effect of Carica papaya to increase platelet count in dengue patients.
Material and Methods: A systematic review was conducted and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) was implemented. Pubmed and Elsevier database were searched up to December 2020. All articles were independently evaluated by the authors based on inclusion criteria.
Results: Our findings revealed that Carica papaya significantly increased the platelet count of dengue patients, especially at the 5th day. Platelet count has strong correlation to vascular leakage of protein and liver damage. Major pathophysiological hallmark of dengue severity is vascular leakage, therefore increasing platelet count might help to decrease the severity in dengue
Conclusion: Using the Carica papaya leaves extract as the curative step is useful for the treatment of dengue fever patients. Carica papaya plays role in increasing the platelet count by neutralizing dengue virus in plasma and significantly reducing platelet aggregation enabling improved patient management and treatment of dengue fever. Carica papaya prevents patient to fall into a much worse condition.

Address NTDs with TROPIC Akhmad Zani Tasir, Karen Kurnia, Nurul Izza Sanusi
Background : Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are diseases that caused by a vast range of parasites such as worms, bacteria, amoeba, and viruses. NTDs are prevalent in many of the tropical and sub-tropical area, especially in developing countries with many low-income populations. The term of neglected in NTDs referred to the fact that these tropical diseases are not being considered as important diseases, even though more than a billion people are infected with one or more NTDs (1,2). NTDs could cause blindness, physical disabilities, disfigurement, malnutrition, growth failure, and even death. On top of that, NTDs also causes discrimination, loss of social status, and social stigma from the society, resulting in shame and unemployement (1). Therefore it creates an even bigger social and economic burden to the patients who already have an immense economic burden since most of people with NTDs lived in poverty. In fact, NTDs are preventable and could be eliminated through preventive chemotherapy, individual case management, vector control, veterinary public health, and water hygiene (3). If this actions are not widely known by all layers of society, then this diseases will remain neglected. Objectives : We aim to reduce the prevalence of NTDs and increase awareness about this diseases. Therefore, to address this disease, we proudly introduce TROPIC. TROPIC stands for TReatment of targeted population, Optimize the use of insecticide, Pets vaccination, Individual case management, and Community education about water hygiene. Conclusion : We hope that through TROPIC, we can reduce the number of people infected by NTDs and increase people’s attention towards this neglected tropical diseases.

PREVENT THE DENGUE FEVER WITH M-REPPALERT Jeane Kinanti Tandung, Irene Jessica Leonardy, Majesty Patu Buana
ABSTRACT
Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in warm, tropical climates in recent years. Dengue virus is transmitted by female mosquitoes mainly of the species Aedes aegypti and, to a lesser extent, Ae. albopictus. The Indonesian Ministry of Health recorded as many as 110,921 cases of dengue fever in Indonesia from January to 31 October 2019. This figure has increased quite dramatically from 2018 with the number of cases at 65,602 cases. Data from the Makassar City Health Office shows that the number of DHF patients in 2020 was 65 cases, while in 2019 there were only 22 cases of DHF sufferers. This shows clearly that dengue fever is a disease that is still being neglected and needs more attention to increase public knowledge and concern.
Objectives: Dengue fever is a disease that is often ignored and neglected by the public, so we need to increase their awareness through smart-phone as objects that mostly accessible and owned by everyone to provide warnings and education through the application, namely M-Reppalert (Mosquito-Reppelent Alert).
Conclusion: So, through this video we want to demonstrate an application that will be very helpful in reminding the public when to use reppelent and when to spray mosquito repellents as well and also educational tips to avoid dengue fever and raise their awareness towards this disease.
