Salmonella infections are major public health problems worldwide. The hereby review aimed to establish an overview on the pathogenicity, epidemiology and virulence factors of Salmonella spp. in the world. A systematic search was conducted online using the keywords ‘Salmonella’, ‘Salmonella spp.’, ‘Salmonella spp. Epidemiology’, ‘virulence factors of Salmonella spp. in the world’, ‘bacteria responsible for the contamination of meat products’, ‘non-typhoid salmonella’. These keywords were entered into databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar using mainly French language. The obtained articles were included based on the reliability of their source, the study area (usually Benin and Africa) and the subject. The review revealed that Salmonella spp. is motile Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria, of the family Enterobacteriaceae, currently counting more than 2,600 serovars. Human contamination occurs through the ingestion of contaminated water and food and can cause gastroenteritis or typhoid fever, which are two serious public health problems. A gene set constituting the pathogenicity islands determines the pathogenesis of Salmonella spp. The diagnosis is based on bacteriological, serological and molecular techniques. Salmonella infections are usually treated using antibiotics; however, emergence of antibiotic resistance in these microorganisms suggests that the anti-salmonella control should explore new sources such as medicinal plants

Covid-19  is  a  highly  contagious  disease  and  has  infected more than seven million people worldwide. Deaths due to this  disease  have  reached  418,000  deaths  in  June  2020.1 Based on data from the Indonesian Covid-19 Task Force, there were 172,053 cumulative cases with a death rate of 4.3% in Indonesia up to August 30, 2020.Indonesia  is  an  archipelago  country  which  has  different geographical  characteristics. Currently,  access  to  basic healthcare  and  quality  of  basic  health  services  has  not reached  all  regions,  especially  those  in  underdeveloped, remote  and  archipelago  areas. Health  problems  in  rural areas become a concern for Indonesian government. This is because around 43% of people live in rural areas or around 116  million  people.  Government  should pay  attention  to rural  health  problems  as  well  as  urban  health.  Likewise, during  the Covid-19  pandemic  rural  area  will  face  same problems to Covid-19.

Adolescents may be predisposed to delinquency by a double-jeopardy situation of clustering of risk factors in physical health (eg, perinatal or nervous system trauma, naurodevelopmental or cognitive dysfunction, neglected health problems) and the environment (eg, poverty, disordered family dynamics, poor education). Pediatricians must be attentive to neglected or previously undiscovered health problems in this population, such as overlooked cosmetic or congential defects, nutritional problems, substance abuse, vision and hearing difficulties, dental pathology, and sex-related conditions and diseases. Delinquents, especially during the transition into detention, are at particular risk for injuries, depression, and suicidal behavior. The complete health assessment of the delinquent should include a neurodevelopmental, cognitive, and educational progress assessment. This will facilitate implementation of an appropriate individualized remediation program. The pediatrician, in the dual role of health care provider for the family and child advocate in the community, can accomplish much toward the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of delinquency.

This chapter looks into another three emerging areas in rural health, namely, border towns, plantation, and nomadic pastoralists. The health status of general population may not be able to fully reflect the health problems of the border towns. As border towns offer work opportunities which may take people across the border, their socioeconomic prospective and health may be affected by the working environments and conditions of another country. In many cases, the population that has settled in the border area is composed of ethnic minorities and tends to be marginalized and neglected by the larger society. Specific issues for individual countries are included and discussed in textbox format.

Aim:  investigate  the  exchange  of  related  support  health  care between the family, inserted in the center of the convoy model, and nurses of primary care.   Method:   descriptive   study,   conducted   with   30   users   of   Primary   Care   of Maracanaú/CE in July 2014. Appealed to the Collective Subject Discourse to organize the data  and  the  convoy  model  for  visualization  of  the  support  exercised  by  the  nurse. Results:  the  nurse  is  a  secondary  source  of  support  to  families;  their actions  are restricted to health facilities, demonstrating the mistaken role of their duties, and have focused on the orientation activities. Discussion: There are nurse's detachment regarding the  assisted  families,  as  well  as  influences  of  the  hegemonic  medical  model,  which distances  the  nurse  from  the  carrying  out  of  their  real  duties.  Conclusion:  nurses  are undervalued and pointed as a secondary reference in relation to families solving health problems.

Asuhan keperawatan yang diberikan kepada pasien akan lebih optimal jika melibatkan keluarga. Keluarga   sebagai   suatu   kelompok   individu   dalam   keluarga yang  dapat   mencegah masalah dan memperbaiki masalah kesehatan serta pengambilan keputusan dalam meningkatkan derajat kesehatan anggota keluarganya. Status kesehatan pasien sebagian besar ditentukan oleh kondisi keluarganya, sehingga penetapan   keluarga   sebagai klien   atau   sasaran   asuhan   keperawatan merupakan hal yang tepat. Pemberian asuhan keperawatan pada keluarga mampu meningkatkan kemandirian keluarga dalam mengatasi masalah kesehatan sehingga kepuasan dalam menerima pelayanan dapat dikaji lebih lanjut. Kepuasan keluarga sebagai penerima asuhan keperawatan sangat tergantung pada persepsi dan ekspektasi keluarga. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran psikologis kepuasan keluarga dalam menerima asuhan keperawatan di ruang rawat inap RSI Kendal. Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif dilakukan pada 96 orang keluarga yang dipilih secara accidental sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner yang terdiri dari 12 pertanyaan. Data dianalisis secara univariat berupa central tendensi dan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden menyatakan sangat puas dalam menerima asuhan keperawatan (54%). Kata kunci: kepuasan, keluarga pasien, asuhan keperawatan PSYCHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF FAMILY SATISFACTION IN RECEIVING NURSING CARE ABSTRACTNursing care provided to patients will be more optimal if it involves the family. Family as a group of individuals in a family that can prevent problems and improve health problems and decision making in improving the health status of family members. The patient's health status is largely determined by his family's condition, so determining the family as a client or nursing care target is appropriate. The provision of nursing care to families can increase family independence in overcoming health problems so that satisfaction in receiving services can be studied further. Family satisfaction as a recipient of nursing care is highly dependent on family perceptions and expectations. The study aims to determine the psychological picture of family satisfaction in receiving nursing care in Kendal Hospital Inpatient Room. Quantitative research with descriptive design was conducted on 96 families selected by accidental sampling. The research instrument used a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions. Data were analyzed univariately in the form of central tendency and frequency distribution. The results showed that the majority of respondents expressed very satisfied in receiving nursing care (54%). Keywords: satisfaction, patient's family, nursing care
