Abstract

Background: Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or allergies, with varying prevalence based on etiology, age, gender, and season. Objectives: This study aims to determine the characteristics of conjunctivitis patients at the Makassar Eye Hospital from January to December 2023. Methods: This research employed a descriptive method with a retrospective approach using patient medical record data. The study included 118 conjunctivitis patients as the sample. Results: The most affected age group was 18–65 years (72%), followed by children (16.9%) and the elderly over 65 years (11%). Conjunctivitis was more prevalent in females (60.2%) than males (39.8%). The most common etiology was allergy (39%), followed by bacterial (31.4%) and viral causes (29.7%). Allergic conjunctivitis was primarily treated with artificial tears (30.4%) and antihistamines. Bacterial conjunctivitis was mainly managed with a combination of antibiotics, steroids, and artificial tears (43.2%). Viral conjunctivitis was also most frequently treated with the same combination therapy (40%). Conclusions: Conjunctivitis is most prevalent among individuals of productive age (18–65 years) and more common in females. Allergic conjunctivitis is the most frequent type, with artificial tears being the primary treatment.

Abstract

Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic bacterium that can cause infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. The increasing resistance to antibiotics has encouraged the use of medicinal plants such as soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.), which contain antibacterial compounds. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of soursop leaf extract against the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis at concentrations of 50%, 75%, and 100%. The study specifically investigated the inhibition zones formed at each concentration (50%, 75%, and 100%) of Annona muricata L. extract against Staphylococcus epidermidis, and compared the antibacterial activity across these three concentrations. This research used a laboratory experimental design with the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method to assess the antibacterial activity. The extract was prepared using 96% ethanol and tested at the concentrations stated. Gentamicin 10 μg was used as a positive control, while sterile distilled water served as the negative control. The inhibition zones were observed after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. The results showed that soursop leaf extract at 50% and 75% concentrations produced inhibition zones categorized as resistant. At 100% concentration, the inhibition zone ranges from resistant to intermediate. The comparison across all three concentrations indicates that the 100% concentration demonstrated notable antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Abstract

Background. Salmonella typhi is the leading cause of typhoid fever, a gastrointestinal infection that resulted in about 9 million cases and 110,000 deaths globally in 2019. One of the drugs that is currently often used in the treatment of this disease is ciprofloxacin. Over time, more and more bacteria are experiencing drug resistance, including to these drugs. In addition, many patients also doubt the quality of generic ciprofloxacin drugs because they are cheaper than branded drugs. In fact, the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. HK.02.02/MENKES/068/I/2010 requires the use of generic drugs in government health facilities. Primary Objective: This study aimed to see and compare the sensitivity of generic and branded ciprofloxacin antibiotics in inhibiting Salmonella typhi. Methodology: This study was an antibiotic sensitivity test by the agar diffusion method (Kirby Bauer). Results: The results showed that one generic ciprofloxacin and seven branded classes still had sensitive inhibitory power and there was no significant difference between the generic and branded groups. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between generic and branded antibiotics between generic and branded antibiotics ciprofloxacin against Salmonella typhi.

Abstract

Hipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit tidak menular yang menjadi masalah kesehatan global dan memerlukan penanganan jangka panjang. Dukungan keluarga memiliki peran penting dalam membantu pasien hipertensi mengelola tekanan darah melalui kepatuhan terhadap pengobatan dan perubahan gaya hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan bentuk dukungan keluarga yang dirasakan oleh pasien hipertensi di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Mandai, Kabupaten Maros, Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sebanyak 32 responden yang merupakan pasien hipertensi dipilih sebagai sampel dan diberikan kuesioner tervalidasi untuk mengukur persepsi mereka terhadap dukungan emosional, penghargaan, informasional, dan instrumental dari keluarga. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden menderita hipertensi grade I (56,2%) dan grade II (43,8%), dengan dominasi usia 45–59 tahun, berjenis kelamin perempuan, berstatus ibu rumah tangga, dan berpenghasilan di bawah UMR. Jenis dukungan yang paling banyak dirasakan adalah dukungan informasional baik (78,1%), diikuti dukungan penghargaan dan instrumental masing-masing baik (71,8%), serta dukungan emosional baik (68,7%). Tidak terdapat pasien yang melaporkan dukungan keluarga dalam kategori kurang. Kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa dukungan keluarga yang dirasakan pasien hipertensi di wilayah ini tergolong baik secara umum, terutama dalam aspek informasional.

Abstract

Death due to infection is the most common cause and is a challenge in the health sector. In 2019, 7.7 deaths were due to bacterial infections, 90 to 100 cases were urinary tract infections and Escherichia coli bacteria contributed to 90% of urinary tract infections. This research uses the Kirby Bauer Disc method to determine the effectiveness of Saliara (Lantana camara) leaves against Escherichia coli bacteria. The type of research is a Laboratory experiment using the Kirby Bauer disc method with a post-test-only control group design. Data analysis uses recording of identifying the inhibition zones formed The research showed that a sample's concentration can influence the inhibition zone's resulting diameter. Saliara leaf extract with concentrations of 100%, 150%, and 200% produced an inhibition zone of 8.55 mm; 9.59mm; 12.34 mm in the proliferation of Escherichia coli bacteria. The positive control with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin produced an inhibition zone of 19.56 mm on the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria. Control with negative distilled water does not create an inhibition zone because it does not have antibacterial activity. The conclusion is moderate inhibitory activity in Saliara (Lantana camara L.) leaf extract at concentrations of 100% and 150%. It is strong at a concentration of 200% against the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract

Anatomical knowledge is essential for science and clinical skills. Learning outcomes can be influenced by the choice of learning media, such as the computer-based Anatomage and Cadaver-based methods. This study examines the relationship between students' preferred anatomy learning media and their practical exam scores. A correlative analytic method with a retrospective cohort approach was used, involving 372 medical students from the Faculty of Medicine, Muslim University of Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria included students who had completed anatomy courses and participated in practical exams. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between preferred media and exam scores (p-value < 0.05). Students with a strong preference for Anatomage achieved a higher pass rate (95%) and demonstrated better comprehension of anatomical structures compared to those favoring cadaver-based learning. These findings emphasize the effectiveness of Anatomage as a learning tool in enhancing anatomy education. In conclusion, the choice of learning media significantly impacts practical exam performance, with Anatomage proving to be a highly effective medium.
