Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Enterobiosis is a common infection in children and remains a significant health issue, particularly in areas with inadequate sanitation.. Objective: This study was conducted to identify the incidence of Enterobiasis in children in Kiuteta Noelbaki Hamlet, Kupang Regency. Method: This descriptive study involved 76 children aged 2–12 years using a total sampling technique. Specimen collection was carried out using the adhesive cellophane tape method and analyzed through microscopic examination. Results: 19 children (25%) of the 76 children examined, and tested positive for Enterobius vermicularis infection. Conclusion: The prevalence of Enterobiasis in the region is still high (25%), so environmental health interventions and hygiene education are needed.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition that threatens the health of children as the nation's next generation. The prevalence of stunting in Penfui Subdistrict is high enough that it requires intervention through the OTA2S program using the method of Providing Supplementary Food (PMT) for 90 days to 21 stunted children but 10 people took part in the examination, parameters total protein and albumin as nutritional parameters can provide information regarding the nutritional status of stunted children. The results of total protein examination before and after PMT for all children were normal, however the albumin levels in all children before PMT were low, but after PMT 7 children were normal while 3 children were still low. Based on these findings, PMT is a good method to apply to reduce stunting rates.

Abstract

Parking attendants are considered an occupational group at risk of exposure to environmental pollutants, including lead. Lead can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, and ocular exposure. Chronic accumulation of heavy metals such as lead may induce hepatocellular damage, which can be reflected by increased serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) levels, a biochemical marker of liver injury. Elevated blood lead levels have been associated with hepatotoxic effects in several studies. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between blood lead levels and SGPT levels among parking attendants in Kuanino Subdistrict, Kota Raja District, Kupang City. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using purposive sampling. Ten parking attendants were recruited. Data were obtained through interviews and laboratory examinations measuring blood lead levels and SGPT concentrations. The results showed that blood lead levels ranged from 29 µg/dL to 111 µg/dL, with a mean of 75,5 µg/dL, indicating markedly elevated levels compared to recommended safety thresholds and suggesting potential clinical risk. SGPT levels ranged from 10,2 U/L to 33,1 U/L, with a mean of 21,54 U/L. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated no statistically significant correlation between blood lead levels and SGPT levels (p = 0,331). Future studies involving a larger sample size and additional liver function indicators are warranted to clarify this finding.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, with anemia recognized as an important contributing factor, particularly among school-aged children. The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies anemia as one of the most common nutritional disorders worldwide, while UNICEF highlights its association with impaired growth and increased risk of stunting. However, early detection of subclinical conditions such as borderline hemoglobin (Hb) levels is often neglected, allowing progression to anemia and increasing long-term health risks. This study aimed to integrate health education with Hb screening to improve awareness and identify early anemia risk in a community-based institutional setting. The program combined educational activities with point-of-care Hb assessment using a digital hemoglobinometer. A total of 70 participants were involved, with 42 individuals undergoing Hb screening. The outcomes measured included changes in participants’ knowledge and the distribution of Hb status. Results showed that 11.9% of participants were anemic, consisting of 9.5% with low Hb and 2.4% with very low Hb levels. In addition, 23.8% had borderline Hb levels, indicating a substantial at-risk group. Overall, 35.7% of screened participants exhibited impaired hemoglobin status. Following the intervention, participants demonstrated better understanding of anemia and its relationship with stunting. Individuals identified with anemia or borderline Hb received counseling and referral recommendations. These findings highlight the importance of combining Hb screening with health education to support early prevention of anemia and stunting.

Abstract

The studies analysing the use of natural ingredients as an alternative treatment in the field of pharmacology are developing very rapidly. One of researches that is quite promising in the pharmaceutical industry is the application of marine materials. Marine materials that are frequently used consist of shellfish, algae, sponges and seagrass. Several studies on toxicity tests have shown that the methanol extract of seagrass (from species Enhalus acoroides) is more toxic than the other seagrass family. This study aims to test the toxicity level of Seagrass (E. acoroides) extract from Soropia coastal waters. The research method in this study was an experimental laboratory using E. acoroides Seagrass as a sample that was obtained from Soropia Coast, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The sample was extracted using methanol as a solvent by macerating it and was tested for its toxicity using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. Toxicity test results showed that the samples with a concentration of 10 ppm, 100 ppm and 1000 ppm in leaves extracts produced an LC50 value of 404.88 ppm, while the stem and root extracts has a value of LC50 >1000 ppm. The test was continued with higher concentration of leaves extracts consisted of 250 ppm, 500 ppm, and 1000 ppm. The toxicity test showed an LC50 value of 0.7309; which means that it was very toxic. The methanol extract of Seagrass (E. Acoroides) is potential to be used for further analysis and anticancer formulations.

Abstract

Hypertension is a noncommunicable disease that remains a public health problem because it increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. One of the mechanisms involved in the development of hypertension is the inflammatory process, which is characterized by elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). This study aimed to determine the profile of CRP levels in hypertensive patients at S.K. Lerik Regional General Hospital in Kupang. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 hypertensive patients selected using accidental sampling. CRP testing was performed qualitatively using the latex agglutination method. The results showed that 4 samples (8%) were reactive and 46 samples (92%) were non-reactive. Reactive CRP results were equally distributed between females and males, with 2 patients (4%) each. By age group, reactive CRP was found in pre-elderly patients aged 45–59 years and elderly patients aged ≥60 years, with 2 patients (4%) in each group. All reactive CRP results were found in patients who did not regularly take antihypertensive medication (4 patients, 8%). Based on the duration of hypertension, reactive CRP was found in 3 patients (6%) with a disease duration of 1–5 years and 1 patient (2%) with a duration of 6–10 years. All reactive CRP results were found in patients with high blood pressure (≥140/90 mmHg) and stage 2 hypertension, totaling 4 patients (8%).
