Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that affects men of all ages and backgrounds, characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. First-line treatments for ED, such as Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors (PDE5i), often cause side effects and pose contraindications, especially for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Consequently, various studies have been conducted to explore safer natural remedies. One natural substance proven to enhance erectile function is black pepper. This study implement a literature review approach, examining articles from scientific databases published between 2011 and 2025. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, exhibits significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, reduces TNF-α levels, and protects nitric oxide (NO) from free radicals. Piperine also enhances testosterone levels by stimulating Leydig cells, contributing to improved erectile function. Moreover, piperine has been shown to increase the expression of the StAR gene, which plays a critical role in testosterone biosynthesis, essential for the erection process. Studies on animal models demonstrated improvements in sexual behavior, testosterone levels, and total penile reflex following black pepper extract administration. Black pepper holds potential as a natural therapy for ED through mechanisms involving increased NO activity, modulation of testosterone hormones, and protection of Leydig cells. While results from animal studies are promising, further research on humans is required to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Brain tumors are a significant neurological disorder with a high mortality rate, especially in cases of glioblastoma, which is highly aggressive and difficult to treat. Conventional treatment methods, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, are often not effective enough, particularly in advanced stages. This study aims to explore two innovative approaches, namely immunotherapy and gene therapy, as alternative treatments for brain tumors. Immunotherapy works by enhancing the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells through methods such as checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, and CAR-T therapy. However, the success of immunotherapy is often hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits the delivery of therapy to the brain. On the other hand, gene therapy offers a solution by modifying genetic material, either to repair damaged genes or to directly destroy cancer cells. Approaches such as the use of oncolytic viruses, CRISPR technology, and nanoparticles have shown promising results in preclinical research and early clinical trials, particularly for glioblastoma. The combination of immunotherapy and gene therapy opens new opportunities to enhance treatment effectiveness by strengthening the immune response and targeting tumors more specifically. However, challenges remain, including treatment resistance, side effects, and limitations in brain delivery methods. Further research is needed to ensure the safety, efficacy, and widespread application of this combination therapy. Immunotherapy and gene therapy have great potential as breakthroughs in the future treatment of brain tumors. Relevant literature, including articles and journals from both national and international sources, were gathered through online searches in various databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and NCBI, and used to compile this article.

Abstract

Central obesity, or abdominal obesity, is a condition marked by excessive fat accumulation around internal organs, leading to a variety of health complications such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders, including low back pain (LBP). Central obesity is defined by increased waist circumference, with values greater than 80 cm in women and 90 cm in men. The condition is primarily influenced by factors such as physical inactivity, poor eating habits, and aging. The relationship between central obesity and LBP is supported by studies indicating that abdominal fat increases mechanical load on the lumbar spine, contributing to disc degeneration and pain. Additionally, adipose tissue secretes pro-inflammatory cytokines that exacerbate inflammation and pain sensitization in the spine, leading to LBP. Obesity-related complications, such as muscle weakness and sleep disturbances, can further reduce quality of life. Preventive measures for LBP include physical exercise, weight reduction, and posture correction. Effective treatment options range from pharmacological therapies to physical rehabilitation and alternative medicine approaches. Understanding the link between central obesity and LBP is critical in developing preventive strategies and improving the management of this common condition.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical phase of rapid growth characterized by the maturation of reproductive organs, known as puberty. In females, puberty is marked by the onset of menstruation, with menarche being the first occurrence of menstruation, typically between the ages of 12 and 14 years. However, the average age of menarche in Indonesia has declined over the years, leading to an increase in early menarche cases. Early menarche occurs at an age of < 11 years (9-10 years) that is primarily driven by elevated estrogen levels in the female body. Factors influencing early menarche include genetics, nutritional status, lifestyle, dietary intake, physical activity, stress management, socioeconomic conditions, sexual behavior, and media exposure. This literature review aims to examine the correlation between these factors and the decreasing age of menarche among adolescent girls in Indonesia. Nutritional status and imbalanced dietary patterns are external factors strongly associated with early menarche. Genetic factors, particularly maternal menarche age, significantly influence the likelihood of early menarche in daughters. Low levels of physical activity contribute to increased ovarian activity and elevated estrogen levels, thereby raising the risk of early menarche. Furthermore, insufficient physical activity is directly linked to early menarche. External influences such as media exposure shape sexual behaviors, which may accelerate menarche onset. Poor stress management also disrupts estrogen regulation, further contributing to early menarche.

Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a glomerular disorder of the kidney characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hypercholesterolemia. The global incidence of NS is approximately 1–3 cases per 100,000 children (<16 years), with a prevalence of 6 cases per 100,000 population (2–3 cases per year) in Indonesia. The male-to-female ratio is 2:1. Inappropriate management may result in recurrent relapses, increased risk of complications, and reduced patient well-being. This study represents an application of evidence-based family medicine in managing a patient with nephrotic syndrome, involving the identification of clinical problems, risk factors, and comprehensive management through a patient-centered and family approach. Primary data were obtained through alloanamnesis, physical and supporting examinations, and home visits to complement data on family, psychosocial, and environmental aspects. Evaluation was conducted holistically from the initial to the final stages of the study using both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Disease recurrence can be prevented through non-pharmacological interventions such as patient education on triggering factors. Internal factors identified in this case included a history of infection, age, and lack of awareness regarding relapse risk factors. External factors included insufficient family knowledge about nephrotic syndrome, its potential complications, and the influence of environmental factors in preventing recurrence. The diagnosis was established, and holistic management was carried out using a patient-centered and family approach, supported by relevant theories and recent studies. The patient and family have achieved the adoption stage in behavioral change.
