ABSTRACTThe Existance of Indonesian Workers in the Middle East, is very beneficial in terms of foreign exchange earnings. Despite the high rate of remittances generated, the Indonesian government must also implement a moratorium on migrant workers sending policies to the Middle East in 2015, which is feared that this could cause a reduction in the amount of remittances, secifically for the Middle East region. Here, the writer will discuss in dept why the government should carry out the moratorium policy of migrant workers to the Middle East in 2015, while the gorvernment  also know that the existance of the overseas migrant workers woud benefit economically. The writer see that, as the main actor, the state is obliged to provide protection for all its citizens whwrever they are.Keywords: Indonesia Workers, Moratorium, National Interest, Protecting Citizens. ABSTRAKKeberadaan Tenaga Kerja Indonesia di Timur Tengah, sangatlah menguntungkan dalam hal pendapatan devisa. Dibalik tingginya angka remitansi yang dihasilkan, namun pemerintah Indonesia juga harus menerapkan kebijakan moratorium pengiriman TKI ke Timur Tengah Tahun 2015, yang mana kebijakan tersebut dikhawatirkan dapat menyebabkan penurunan jumlah remitansi, secara khusus untuk kawasan Timur Tengah. Di sini, penulis akan membahas secara mendalam mengapa pemerintah harus melakukan kebijakan moratorius TKI ke Timur tengah Tahun 2015, sedangkan pemerintah juga tahu bahwa keberadaan TKI luar negeri tentu memberi keuntungan secara ekonomi. Penulis menggunakan sudut pandang realisme, dengan memakai teori kepentingan nasional, sehingga akan dibahas secara  mendalam terkait permasalahan yang ada.

Early Risk

Background. Healthcare is a challenging, yet so demanding sector that developing countries are paying more attention to recently. Statistics show that rural areas are expected to develop a high rate of heart diseases, which is a leading cause of sudden mortality, in the future. Thus, providing solutions that can assist rural people in detecting the cardiac risks early will be vital for uncovering and even preventing the long-term complications of cardiac diseases. Methodology. Mobile technology can be effectively utilized to limit the cardiac diseases’ prevalence in rural Middle East. This paper proposes a smart mobile solution for early risk detection of hard coronary heart diseases that uses the Framingham scoring model. Results. Smart HeartCare+ mobile app estimates accurately coronary heart diseases’ risk over 10 years based on clinical and nonclinical data and classifies the patient risk to low, moderate, or high. HeartCare+ also directs the patients to further treatment recommendations. Conclusion. This work attempts to investigate the effectiveness of the mobile technology in the early risk detection of coronary heart diseases. HeartCare+ app intensifies the communication channel between the lab workers and patients residing in rural areas and cardiologists and specialist residing in urban places.

Symptom Screening

Background: Travel screening can facilitate the identification of patients at risk for emerging infectious diseases, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). A travel navigator with associated decision support through a best practice advisory (BPA) was implemented in an electronic health record to build upon the CDC identify-isolate-inform framework. Compliance with documentation of travel history, symptom screening when appropriate, and isolation of suspect MERS patients were assessed. Methods: Adult and pediatric emergency department encounters at the Massachusetts General Hospital, a 1,035-bed, tertiary-care, academic health center in Boston, Massachusetts, from August 2018 to October 2019, were included. We categorized an encounter as adherent to initial travel screening if providers answered foreign, domestic, or no travel to the screen. Encounters were defined as nonadherent if they were recorded as unknown or if an answer was not selected. Adherence to completion of data entry for the subgroup of patients with documented foreign travel was further assessed for region- and country-level specification, completion of symptom screen, and response to the MERS BPA (Fig. 1). Results: In total, 127,866 encounters were included, of which 105,593 (83%) were adherent to initial travel screening. Among 4,498 encounters with documented foreign travel, 2,970 (66%) specified the region of travel, and 710 (16%) selected a country of travel from the listing. Moreover, 214 encounters had documented travel to the Middle East. Selection of Middle East or 1 of the 13 countries identified by the CDC as at risk for MERS triggered symptom screening for fever and cough, which was performed in 139 encounters (65%). Of these, 95 encounters documented absence of fever and cough, 15 documented fever and cough, 12 documented a cough alone, and 17 documented a fever alone through reporting or obtaining vitals. The MERS BPA was triggered in 37 encounters; 10 patients were ordered for isolation using the BPA. Of these, 4 patients met CDC criteria for a MERS patient under investigation and were tested; all were negative. Conclusions: Initial screening to document foreign travel is completed at a high rate; however, use of the travel navigator to specify region and country, key components necessary to prompt clinicians for symptom screening, are documented in a minority of encounters. Future interventions are needed to improve region and country capture and appropriate symptom screening, with isolation when appropriate.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Abstract Background There is scarcity of studies from the Middle East had address the use of guideline-recommended secondary cardiovascular prevention medications among individuals who survived at least one decade after coronary revascularization (CR) by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG). Purpose An objective of the DECADE-PLUS study was to evaluate the use of antiplatelet agents (APA), statins, beta blockers (BB) and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASI) in such patients. Methods We enrolled consecutive patients seen at ambulatory or in-patient settings with the following inclusion criteria: patient had PCI or CABG >10 years ago, age >18 years at the time of the index CR, and availability of data of currently used medications. Results Of 892 patients enrolled, 600 (67.3%) had PCI and 292 (32.7%) had CABG. Patients had CR >20 years ago (100; 11.2%), 11–19 years ago (536; 60.1%) or 10 years ago (256; 28.7%). Women comprised 13.8% of the whole cohort, and mean age at index CR was 53.4+9.4 years. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia were present in 398 (44.6%), 351 (39.3%) and 290 (32.5%), respectively at the time of CR. Overall, aspirin was used in 745 (83.5%), and a second APA in 329 (36.9%). Statins, BB and RASI were used in 83.7%, 71.7% and 54.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis of predictors of lower rates of use of these medications showed that survival time (10 years vs. >20 years), and revascularization type (PCI vs. CABG) had no impact on use of these medications. However, nondiabetics were less often prescribed second APA (odds ratio (OR) 0.78, p=0.005) and RASI (OR 0.85, p=0.007) compared with diabetics. Furthermore, compared with men, women were less often prescribed aspirin (OR 0.66, p<0.0001), statin (OR 0.67, p<0.0001), BB (OR 0.71, p=0.005), and RASI (OR 0.79, p=0.005). Conclusion Middle East patients surviving at least one decade after coronary revascularization have a high rate of utilization of secondary cardiovascular medications compared with western data. However, women and non-diabetic individuals have lower rate of use of these medications compared with diabetics and men, respectively. Larger studies are warranted to explore the reasons behind these discrepancies and thus represent potential targets for positive intervention. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Outward Migration

In the last six years, more than 3.7 million people have migrated from Pakistan to seek employment, mostly in the Middle East. Approximately, 1 million people migrated from Pakistan in 2015 in contrast to 0.75 million in 2014, an increase of about 20.84%. People from all the cities of Pakistan are migrating, especially from Karachi, which is the seventh most populous city of the world and largest in Pakistan. More than 30% of Karachi’s population is youth (ages 15 –29) with 54.9% male and 45.1% female. This study finds that 48.7% of the youth in Karachi want to leave Pakistan for various reasons, including unemployment, insecurity, economic problems, lack of social support, lack of career opportunities. This high rate of outward migration from Pakistan is creating brain drain conditions, especially in the health and education sectors, where there is a shortage of skilled workforce. This paper explores and analyzes factors that are contributing to youth emigration from Pakistan’s largest city, Karachi.

Abstract Background Anthropometric parameters such as birth weight (BW) and adult body height vary between ethnic groups. Ethnic-specific percentile charts are currently being used for the assessment of newborns. However, due to globalization and interethnic families, it is unclear which charts should be used. A correlation between a mother’s height and her child’s BW (1 cm accounts for a 17 g increase in BW) has been observed. The study aims to test differences in small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) rates, employing BW percentile charts based on maternal height between ethnic groups. Methods This retrospective study of 2.3 million mother/newborn pairs analyzed BW, gestational age, sex, maternal height and ethnicity from the German perinatal survey (1995–2000). These data were stratified for maternal height (≤157, 158–163, 164–169, 170–175, ≥176 cm) and region of origin (Germany, Central and Northern Europe, North America, Mediterranean region, Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, and Asia excluding Middle East). Percentile charts were calculated for each maternal height group. Results The average BW and maternal height differ significantly between ethnic groups. On current percentile charts, newborns of taller mothers (≥176 cm) have a low rate of SGA and a high rate of LGA, whereas newborns of shorter mothers (≤157 cm) have a high rate of SGA and a low rate of LGA. When the BW data are stratified based on the maternal height, mothers of similar height from different ethnic groups show similar average BWs, SGA and LGA rates. Conclusion Maternal body height has a greater influence on BW than maternal ethnicity. The use of BW percentile charts for maternal height should be considered.
