Abstract

Anaerobic physical exercise does not only improve body fitness, but it also increases cognitive functions. The increase of cognitive functions is mediated by the increase of Brain Derived Neurothropic Factor (BDNF) level. Several studies revealed that anaerobic physical exercise can increase the BDNF level inhippocampal tissues. However, it is still questionable whether or notthe frequency of exercise influences the production of BDNF inhippocampal tissues. This study was to find out the BDNF mean level inhippocampal tissue of Wistarrats which were treated with anaerobic physical exercises conducted in different frequencies.This study used post test only control groupdesign. The research subject was 28 rats of Rattusnorvegicus strain wistar divided into 4 groups; 1 control group and 3 treatment groups (one-time, three-time, and five times a week treatment). The anaerobic physical exercise used animal treadmill running in the speed of 35m/min for 20 minutes at four-minute intervals. The mean levels of BDNF were increased in all treatment groups compared with control group (151.588 vs 57.059). The highest mean level of hippocampal tissue BDNF was found in the treatment group of three times a week (177.701). There was a significant difference in BDNF mean levels of Wistar rat brain tissues among the treatment groups.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze iron deficiency on the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in the Kepahiang district in 2021. The method used is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional design. The research sample was 100 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters who were taken randomly from 14 working areas of the Public Health Center in Kepahiang Regency. The data obtained were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the number of pregnant women with abnormal iron deficiency experienced anemia as much as 97.8% and pregnant women with normal iron deficiency experienced anemia as much as 77.8%. The statistical test results obtained a p-value of 0.008 and a PR of 12.857. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between iron deficiency and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women in Kepahiang Regency in 2021.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is an endemic parasitosis affecting many countries of the world. A total of 5318 elementary schoolchildren, aged 8 –16 years, were examined for the presence of Pediculus capitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of head lice infestation in Palembang City. This research is a quantitative research with cross sectional research design. This research was conducted at the Palembang City Orphanage.. This research took place from July to September 2021. The research population was taken from orphanage children in 16 orphanages from 12 sub-districts in the city of Palembang as many as 3.823 peoples. The sample of this research is 300 people. The sampling technique in this study was by random sampling. Data collection using a questionnaire. Data analysis with chi-square test. The results of the research are the Prevalence of Pediculosis Capitis at Orphanages in Palembang City, South Sumatera (Indonesia) from 300 peoples found that the prevalence rate in urban areas (n=155) the highest number of sufferers was found in the Sako sub-district with 18 people (11.6%) and in rural areas (n=145) the number of sufferers was found in 2 research locations, namely in Indralaya 1 as many as 36 people (24.8%) and East Baturaja as many as 40 people (27.6%). Factors associated with Pediculosis Capitis at Orphanages in Palembang City, South Sumatra (Indonesia), namely such as children’s health care (p-value=0.046), use of tools together p-value=0.004), children living with parents (p-value= ≤ 0.001), past infestation of fleas (p-value=0.027), lighting conditions of residential space (p-value=0.005) , teacher health education in schools (p-value=0.007), using general items (p-value=≤ 0.001), room conditions per student (p-value=0.028), and number of hairbrushes per day (p-value=0.016). Based on these results, it is suggested to the orphanage to provide socialization or health education as a preventive measure for Pediculosis capitis in order to increase knowledge and quality of personal hygiene in the orphanage by changing the attitude of each individual, especially children. Keywords: Pediculosis capitis, Hair lice infestation

Abstract

Stunting is a major problem in Indonesia. Stunting can affect physical, mental, cognitive and intellectual development so that children are unable to learn optimally. Banyuasin Regency is ranked 3rd in toddlers who experience stunting out of 17 districts/cities in South Sumatra. Stunting control is carried out through specific interventions in the form of providing additional food (PMT), monitoring toddler growth, and providing infant and child food (PMBA). The aim of this research is to find out the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of cadres regarding providing additional food, monitoring the growth of toddlers, and feeding babies and children in stunting locus area. This type of research is quantitative with a quantitative research method with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in 3 stunting locus sub-districts in Banyuasin Regency. In August-September 2024. The population in this study were all posyandu cadres in Banyuasin Regency. The sample in this study was 102 posyandu cadres with the Cluster random sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. This study shows that there is a need to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of community health cadres regarding monitoring child growth and providing supplementary feeding. Aspects that need to be strengthened include understanding of signs of growth disorders, age and gender criteria for recipients of supplementary feeding, and involvement in data collection and planning with nutritionists. Further training and closer collaboration are needed to improve program effectiveness.

Abstract

Pesticide poisoning, especially paraquat, is a significant health problem for agricultural workers, including sugarcane plantation workers in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between pesticide use and hemoglobin levels. This study is a descriptive study to find the correlation between paraquat pesticide exposure and hemoglobin levels. Quota sampling technique was used to collect 51 samples. Data were collected through interviews, observation of the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and measurement of hemoglobin levels by laboratory methods on 51 workers exposed to paraquat pesticide. The Chi-Square test was used to analyze the relationship between the use of PPE and the level of pesticide poisoning as measured by hemoglobin levels. The results showed that incomplete use of PPE was associated with a decrease in workers' hemoglobin levels. As many as 40% of workers who did not use PPE experienced a significant decrease in hemoglobin levels compared to workers who used complete PPE. The calculated Chi-Square value is 6.45 with a p value = 0.011 (p < 0.05) which indicates a significant relationship between the use of PPE and hemoglobin levels in sugarcane plantation workers. Based on these results, it can be concluded that proper use of PPE can reduce the risk of pesticide poisoning and maintain hemoglobin levels at normal levels.
