Abstract

Abstract: Disease with productive cough symptomp is contagious, therefore, it is commonly found in the society, varies from mild to severe stages. Cases of productive cough, that is a respiratory tract infection, is one of the 10 most common diseases at Bahu Health Center. Identification of bacteria can be performed with Gram staining, so it will lead to make better and more precise treatment. This study was aimed to identify the bacteria in the sputum of productive cough patients at Bahu Health Center by using Gram staining method. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. The results showed that Streptococcus bacteria were the most common (50%) compared to Diplococcus bacteria (15%). Conclusion: In the sputum of patients with productive cough, the most common type of bacteria was Streptococcus.Keywords: bacteria, productive cough, respiratory tract infection Abstrak: Penyakit dengan gejala batuk berdahak bersifat menular sehingga sering dijumpai di masyarakat dari manifestasi ringan sampai berat. Kasus yang berhubungan dengan batuk berdahak seperti infeksi saluran pernapasan merupakan salah satu dari 10 penyakit utama di Puskesmas Bahu. Dengan metode pewarnaan Gram, hasil identifikasi dapat membuat penatalaksanaan menjadi lebih cepat dan tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan ntuk mengidentifikasi bakteri dengan menggunakan metode pewarnaan Gram pada sputum pasien yang memiliki keluhan batuk di Puskesmas Bahu Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bakteri dengan morfologi Streptococcus yang terbanyak (50%) dibandingkan bakteri dengan morfologi Diplococcus (15%). Simpulan: Pada sputum pasien batuk berdahak yang terbanyak ditemukan ialah bakteri Streptcoccous.Kata kunci: bakteri, batuk berdahak, infeksi saluran napas

Abstract

Microplastics are synthetic polymers that are unable to be completely degraded and will stay as an environmental contaminant for a long period of time. Due to their microscopic size, microplastics are able to enter the human body, either directly or indirectly via the food chain, where both processes will induce pathological changes in-vivo. So far, clinically, there has been no direct evidence yet about any microplastic-related disease in humans. However, since Indonesia is a maritime country and has been producing microplastics on a large scale, it is critical for our healthcare personnel to have the knowledge about microplastic toxicokinetics and the possible pathological responses elicited by humans when exposed to microplastics. This review article aims to discuss the definition, genesis, accumulation process, toxicokinetics, and pathological responses due to microplastic exposure, emphasizing the biomolecular aspects and implying the possible effects on public health. An internet search in Google Scholar and Pubmed was performed using keywords "microplastics" and "health", as well as their Indonesian language counterparts. Full-text English or Indonesian text from the year 2018 to 2020 were gathered and used as the primary references for this literature review. Microplastics are a novel emerging contaminant that is currently accumulating in the earth's biomass with the potency to induce pathological changes in the human body. Health practitioners are expected to have knowledge about the harm of microplastic to humans. Eventually, follow-up acts should be taken to prevent and manage the microplastic-related pathologies as discussed further in this review.
