Title: CHILDREN ARE MORE EXPOSED TO ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: A LITERATURE REVIEW Authors: Karaca, Sibel Abstract: ignificantly affected people's quality of life. Unfortunately, the epidemic continues in various variants and it remains unclear how long it will continue. Children staying at home in the COVID-19 quarantine spent hours in front of the screen with online education. In addition, since they could not go out, they spent their free time in front of the screen using social media, playing computer games or watching movies. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of low-level electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that children are exposed to at home during the COVID-19 quarantine. Method: The research method is literature review. Results: Studies have shown that, during the quarantine period, children's use of telecommunication devices such as televisions, tablets, smartphones and computers greatly increases. It was determined that the range of radio frequency (RF), Wi-Fi, power lines, visible light and Bluetooth increased in the home environment. The electric and magnetic fields emitted from these devices contain EMR and can seriously harm the health of children, who are structurally more sensitive than adults. Conclusion: There are growing concerns that children staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic will face health hazards in the future as they are more exposed to EMR.

Title: SUGAR SWEETENED BEVERAGE TAX AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH Authors: Avirneni, Hari Teja; John, Anugraha; Sarathamani Swaminathan, Sinthu Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction: Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) consumption has increased to higher levels across all corners of the world. High sugar diets in the form of SSBs lead to increased calorie intake with almost no nutritive value when compared to solid food and contributes to the increased energy intake resulting in an unhealthy weight gain, often associated with health issues such as obesity, diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, early tooth decay and formation of cavities. It is also observed that consumption of SSBs is linked to unhealthy habits like smoking, decreased physical activity, increased intake of fast food and increased screen time. Method: The required information on SSB tax implementation at the global level was retrieved from the literature reviews. Result: Taking such detrimental effects of SSBs into consideration, many countries are putting efforts to tackle the problem of higher consumption of SSBs by adopting measures such as taxations on SSBs. However, it is also extremely important to understand how these taxes help in generating higher revenues to the government which, in turn, can be used for various community needs in the respective countries. Conclusion: The same revenue can also be utilised for implementation of comprehensive healthcare programmes especially in Low and MiddleIncome Countries (LMIC), by providing preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative services as a way to progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Title: EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON KNOWLEDGE, ADHERENCE, AND INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE ON GLAUCOMA OUTPATIENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Authors: Wahyuni, Wahyuni; Irawati Wibowo, Yosi; Prayitno Setiadi, A. Adji Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction: To evaluate educational interventions to improve patient knowledge, and adherence to glaucoma treatment that results in a reduction in intraocular pressure based on current clinical evidence. Methods: A systematic review of PubMed (NIH) was conducted to identify studies evaluating educational interventions to improve patient knowledge, and adherence to glaucoma treatment that resulted in decreased intraocular pressure. The search was conducted from March to August 2020. Results: The educational intervention was successful in increasing the skill of using eye drops for one month from 6% to 35%, and 64% after six months of education. The percentage of patients who successfully implanted the eye drops correctly increased from 66.7% to 82.2%. The educational intervention was successful in increasing adherence to treatment followed by MEMS from 67% -98% to 78% -86%. The adherence monitored with the pharmacy database resulted in a PDC of 57%, and the medication possession ratio (MPR) of 71% because many data were not recorded in the pharmacy. African American patients had significantly low adherence (OR = 0.29 95% CI = 0.16, 0.52). The educational intervention has no significant effect on the IOP value. Patients with low adherence tend to have low VFQ-25 (visual acuity) scores. After education, 99% of the patients were satisfied with the health program implemented. Conclusion: All educational interventions were successful in increasing patient knowledge, medication adherence, and eye care medical visits. Educational interventions did not significantly affect IOP values. Patients who are not adherent tend to have low visual acuity.
