Abstract

Lead is one of the heavy metals used as an additive in gasoline to enhance lubrication and combustion efficiency in motor vehicles, such as container truck drivers, and is commonly found on highways. Truck drivers have a higher tendency to inhale air containing lead while on the road, which can lead to poisoning. Hair and blood can serve as biomarkers of lead exposure in the body. The purpose of this research is to determine the lead levels in the hair and blood of container truck drivers at PT. Trans Indo Sakti Surabaya using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). This research is a descriptive study conducted at the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of the Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Health Polytechnic Ministry of Health Surabaya and the Standardization and Industrial Services Center Laboratory in Surabaya from October 2022 to May 2023. The samples used in the study are 15 container truck drivers, selected using purposive sampling technique. This study demonstrates results of the lowest hair lead level value at 0.1936 µg/g and the highest at 3.026 µg/g. Among the respondents, 9 were categorized as having normal levels, while 6 respondents were categorized as having abnormal levels. For the blood samples, the lowest lead level obtained was 0.146 µg/dL and the highest was 3.81 µg/dL. The lead levels are still categorized as normal. The presence of lead in the body is influenced by age, length of employment, duration of work, and smoking habits.

Abstract

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that causes decreased immunity. Examinations that can be done for HIV testing include a rapid HIV test and HIV viral load. The rapid HIV test is a test that is used to find out the antibodies in the sample, while the viral load test is to find out the amount of HIV. The purpose of this study was to compare HIV using a rapid test with HIV viral load in people with HIV. This type of research is observational with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study were 30 samples from HIV sufferers who carried out an HIV viral load examination using the Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) method at the RSUD Haji Provinsi Jawa Timur, then a rapid HIV test was carried out using the immunochromatography method. The results of the HIV rapid test and HIV viral load were processed in the form of a bar chart and tested with the McNemar statistical test. The results of the McNemar test can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the results of the HIV viral load examination of HIV viral load by the Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) method is superior to the HIV rapid test. However, rapid tests can be used in diagnosing HIV infection.

Abstract

Smoking habits negatively affect the body to cause death. This is because cigarettes contain many harmful chemicals. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between carboxyhemoglobin levels and hemoglobin levels in active smokers in Gresik Regency using the Conway dish method which was read with a spectrophotometer. This research was conducted in March-June 2023 at the Toxicology and Hematology Laboratory, Department of Technology, Medical Laboratory, Poltekkes, Ministry of Health, Surabaya using an analytical observational research type. The test material used is whole blood, with research variables of COHb and Hb levels. The results of the analysis showed an average COHB and Hb of 0.89% and 14.6 g / dl with a significance value of 0.304 using the Spearman correlation test. With the limitations of the variables studied, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between COHb and Hemoglobin in active smokers in Gresik Regency.
