Abstract

Abstract:  Pabuaran Village still faces health problems, one of which is pediculosis capitis. Therefore, this community service activity aims to diagnose pediculosis, carry out management and provide education in the form of counseling to Pabuaran Village residents, especially children and adolescents. Pediculosis eradication was carried out in January 2026 with a primary target of 40 people. Of the total children and adolescents examined, 29 children tested positive for pediculosis, so it can be interpreted that the prevalence of pediculosis in Pabuaran Village is 72.5%. There are 25 girls (62.5%) in Pabuaran Village who tested positive for pediculosis. In this activity, education was provided regarding the prevention of pediculosis capitis. Knowledge about Pediculosis Capitis plays a crucial role in preventing transmission to others. The educational material provided to residents included symptoms, transmission methods, complications, and management of pediculosis capitis. Pediculosis transmission can occur due to poor health behaviors, one of which is the habit of rarely washing hair. Children infested with head lice were given 1% permethrin shampoo and combed using the wet combing method. Pabuaran Village has a densely populated environment that facilitates the transmission of head lice. Therefore, awareness among all villagers is needed to maintain their health and prevent the spread of head lice.Abstrak: Desa Pabuaran masih memiliki masalah kesehatan, salah satunya pedikulosis kapitis. Untuk itu, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini ditujukan untuk mendiagnosis pedikulosis, melakukan tata laksana dan edukasi berupa penyuluhan kepada warga Desa Pabuaran, khususnya anak-anak dan remaja. Pemberantasan pedikulosis dilakukan pada bulan Januari 2026 dengan sasaran utama sebanyak 40 orang. Dari keseluruhan anak dan remaja yang diperiksa, terdapat 29 anak yang positif pedikulosis, sehingga dapat diinterpretasikan bahwa prevalensi pedikulosis di Desa Pabuaran sebesar 72,5%. Terdapat 25 anak perempuan (62,5%) di Desa Pabuaran yang positif pedikulosis. Pada kegiatan ini dilakukan edukasi mengenai pencegahan pedikulosis kapitis, sehingga transmisinya dapat dicegah. Pengetahuan mengenai pedikulosis kapitis memiliki peran penting dalam mencegah terjadinya penularan kepada orang lain. Materi edukasi yang diberikan pada warga berupa gejala, cara penularan, komplikasi dan tata laksana pedikulosis kapitis. Transmisi pedikulosis dapat terjadi akibat perilaku kesehatan yang buruk, salah satunya kebiasaan jarang membersihkan rambut.  Anak-anak yang terinfestasi tuma diberikan sampo permethrin 1% dan dilakukan penyisiran dengan metode wet combing. Desa Pabuaran memiliki lingkungan padat penghuni yang memudahkan transmisi tuma. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kesadaran bagi seluruh warga desa untuk menjaga kesehatan dan mencegah penularan penyakit kutu rambut.

Abstract

Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic infection caused by protozoa of the Cryptosporidium genus that infect humans and animals worldwide. The disease remains a significant public health concern, particularly in regions with limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. This study aimed to review recent scientific evidence regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of cryptosporidiosis. A literature review method was employed by analyzing scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 retrieved from databases including PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar. Relevant studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria and analyzed narratively. The review indicates that Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum are the most common species causing human infection and account for the majority of cases worldwide. Transmission primarily occurs through the fecal–oral route via contaminated water or food, as well as direct contact with infected hosts. Infection involves parasite attachment and invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, leading to mucosal damage, malabsorption, and diarrhea. Clinical manifestations vary depending on the host's immune status, ranging from mild self-limiting diarrhea in immunocompetent individuals to severe and chronic infection in immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis is commonly established through microscopic detection of oocysts, antigen-based assays, and molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Current management mainly focuses on supportive therapy, while nitazoxanide remains the only antiparasitic drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis. Therefore, improvements in sanitation, development of diagnostic methods, and effective prevention strategies are essential to reduce the global burden of cryptosporidiosis.

Abstract

Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant compound globally and is well known for its ability to enhance alertness and reduce the perception of fatigue. In the context of sports and physical activity, caffeine has been identified as an effective ergogenic aid, improving both endurance and cognitive performance during intense exercise. This literature review aims to systematically evaluate the primary biochemical mechanisms of caffeine relevant to physical performance enhancement, particularly through its effects on the central nervous system and muscle metabolism. Biochemically, caffeine primarily functions by blocking adenosine receptors, thereby influencing neurotransmission and increasing sympathetic activity. Additionally, caffeine has been shown to affect energy substrate mobilization by enhancing lipolysis and sparing muscle glycogen. Interestingly, recent evidence suggests that caffeine also plays a role in muscle mass regulation through the activation of molecular pathways such as AMPK and mTOR. AMPK activation enhances metabolic efficiency and energy utilization, while mTOR is involved in protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy, positioning caffeine as a potential candidate to support training adaptation and muscle mass maintenance. However, caffeine’s effectiveness is not uniform across individuals and may be influenced by various factors such as dosage, timing of consumption, type of exercise, as well as genetic and habitual factors. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of caffeine’s mechanisms of action is crucial for maximizing its benefits in supporting physical performance safely and effectively. This article summarizes the latest scientific findings providing physiological and molecular foundations regarding caffeine’s role in enhancing endurance and muscle mass, and offers insights for its application in sports and health practices.
