Abstract

Papaya is a fruit that is often consumed in Indonesia and has increased consumption from 2015-2016 based on SUSENAS 2016. Papaya has high water content (85-90%) and the pH is near neutral. This makes papaya vulnerable and suitable medium for the growth of pathogenic microbes. The presence of pathogenic microbes in papaya can cause health problems for those who consumed them. Objectives this study was to observe the microbial content of sliced papaya in the Universitas Sumatera Utara. Method this research was carried out by conducting laboratory tests and the results obtained in the form of a description of microbial content in papaya cut samples. The content of coliform microbes in sliced papaya was tested using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method and biochemical identification. Papaya samples were selected using total sampling method from the University of Sumatera Utara. Results A total of 14 sliced papaya samples were analysed in this study. By using the MPN test it was found that all papaya samples had a microbial threshold exceeding those determined by SNI 7388: 2009 which is below <20 / g. A total of 9 papaya samples (64.28%) contained Klebsiella sp. bacteria, 5 samples (35.72%) contained E.coli bacteria. Conclusions Bacteria found in this study were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp. The presence of microbial content in the sliced papaya sample that exceeds the threshold must be a concern of various parties in the surveillance of snacks being sold.

Abstract

The nutritional status of patients is one factor that influences the length of stay. This study is an analytic study with a cross-sectional design aiming to observe nutritional status, length of treatment, and the relationship between the two variables. The population in this study were patients aged 19-64 years who were treated in the Internal Medicine KSM at USU Hospital in the period August to October 2019. 52 patients were the study samples, with consecutive sampling as the sample selection technique used. We collected research data as nutritional status and length of stay through anthropometric measurements and structured interviews. We distinguish nutritional status based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). The results showed 34 patients (65.4%) based on BMI values decreased nutritional status from 21.473.79 to 21.183.83 Kg /m2. Based on SGA, 32 patients (61.5%) experienced a decrease in score. The mean treatment period was 5.021.36 days. From the chi-square test results, it is known that changes in nutritional status based on BMI have a significant relationship to the length of stay with a p-value 0.05.

Abstract

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was first known in 1981 in homosexual groups who had opportunistic infections and malignancies. In Indonesia the first AIDS case was reported in 1987 to a Dutch citizen living in the province of Bali. Cases of HIV infection in Indonesia are reported to increase every year and most occur at the age of 25-49 years. HIV transmission is not easily transmitted, even when an HIV-infected person takes antiretroviral drugs can reduce the risk of transmission by up to 96%. But one of the biggest challenges in managing HIV infection is facing stigma and discrimination. As many as 1 in 5 people living with HIV are afraid to come to the clinic because they will experience discrimination and stigma from the community if this condition occurs will cause treatment delay until PLWHA (People living with HIV/AIDS) will fall to the AIDS stage and PLWHA will be susceptible to opportunistic infections. A clinic in Namibia, when stigma and discrimination were successfully overcome, there was a 20% reduction in mortality in PLWHA

Abstract

Background: In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension was found to increase from 25.8% (2013) to 34.1% (2018). In additon, patients with this medical condition are generally required to adhere to lifelong anti-hypertensive drugs for blood pressure control. However, recent studies have suggested the use of tea containing active compounds Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which can lower blood pressure. Objectives: This study aimed to provide an overview of active compounds in tea with the potential to lower blood pressure. Methods: The data used were obtained from sources related to randomized controlled clinical trials searched through the Pubmed page in the 2017-2022 period, with various keywords such as tea, blood pressure, and hypertension. Discussions: Out of 35 studies reviewed, a total of 9 were obtained from the literature search. The results showed that EGCG in capsule form with a dose range of 75-300 mg could reduce blood pressure significantly, as observed in studies with capsules containing anthocyanins and polyphenols. Although 4 studies used tea beverages as intervention materials, there was no significant decrease in blood pressure. Furthermore, 2 studies showed a significant variation due to differences in the levels of active compounds and the presence of caffeine in tea, which affected blood pressure measurements. Conclusions: The use of active compounds in tea, particularly EGCG, in recent clinical trials on blood pressure regulation has shown a significant reduction in hypertension. Therefore, exploiting the potential of EGCG in a larger sample size could serve as a promising avenue for future studies.

Abstract

Introduction: Since suicide is a complicated matter, multiple sectors must be involved. Globally, there were 703,000 suicide cases in 2019. Over the past three years, there has been a rise in suicide instances in Indonesia. Treating those who are at risk of suicide is difficult since suicide situations, like mental health illnesses, continue to carry stigma. To provide a statistical overview of suicide cases and the role of clinicians in preventing suicide cases. Methods: Searching for statistical data in Indonesia, we used Pubmed with the keyword “statistics”, “suicide”, “Indonesia”. Searching for data regarding risk factors and prevention of suicide, we also used Pubmed with the keywords “risk factor”, “prevention”, “screening”, “suicide”. Results: Globally, in 2019 the average rate of suicide cases was around 9.0 cases per 100,000 population. In Indonesia, exact data regarding the prevalence of suicide cases is still unknown. A person committing suicide can be caused by many factors such as previous mental disorders, relationship conflicts, legal problems, violence, financial problems, social exclusion, and low socioeconomic status. In addition to providing appropriate management, a clinician must provide education and outreach to the public regarding warning signs and risk factors for suicide, restrictions on tools for suicide, screening, and also remind every patient, especially patients with mental disorders, to continue to pray to be given health. Conclusion: A clinician has a role ranging from education and related outreach, screening, and also pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of someone at risk of suicide

Abstract

Hypertension is a medical condition characterized by an elevation in systolic blood pressure equal to or greater than 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure equal to or greater than 90 mmHg. Hypertension elevates the likelihood of developing cerebrovascular disease and mortality. The administration of conventional antihypertensive drugs frequently leads to the occurrence of adverse effects. Moreover, a significant proportion of the population in developing nations, approximately 70%, currently favors the utilization of herbal remedies as opposed to conventional pharmaceuticals. Garlic is a herbal plant known for its antihypertensive properties. This review specifically examines the current mechanisms by which garlic acts as an antihypertensive, and presents the clinical evidence available to date regarding garlic's effectiveness in lowering blood pressure. The present mechanism by which garlic acts as an antihypertensive agent involves its anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic effects, enhancement of microbiota activities, and improvement of heart function. The antihypertensive effect of garlic is derived from its organosulfur content. Based on multiple clinical trials, the majority of studies have found that administering interventions in the form of capsules containing garlic or aged black garlic extract leads to a decrease in blood pressure. Garlic has anti-hypertensive effects, especially in the form of aged black garlic extract.
