Abstract

Background: Public awareness of donating blood has been increasing. However, in reality, many prospective donors still do not fulfill the predetermined blood donation requirements. Donors must first undergo a medical examination, measuring blood pressure, blood type, and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and medical consultation. The eligibility to become a blood donor can then be determined.Objectives: This study aims to determine the eligibility of blood donors based on laboratory examination among university students in Semarang City.Methods: An observational study using a cross-sectional design was conducted at the Central Java Provincial Health Laboratory Center in June 2022. Data collection through laboratory and medical examinations includes preliminary examination (blood type and rhesus examination), hemoglobin and hematocrit examination, and medical examination (body weight, blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature). Data processing was done in stages: editing, coding, entry, and cleaning data. Data analysis was only done descriptively, including frequency distribution and percentage. Data were presented in the form of graphs and tables.Results: More donors were female students (80%), and 100% had positive rhesus. Laboratory examination results showed normal hemoglobin levels (76,7%) and normal hematocrit (95,0%), and standard pulse rate (71,7%). The feasibility of blood donation by students is feasible (43,3%) and not feasible (56,7%).Conclusion: The general health condition of students showed an optimal level of health for blood donation; however, many students in Semarang are not eligible to donate blood.

Abstract

Background: Filariasis is a disease caused by parasitic nematodes of Filariae. Filariasis is caused by filarial worm species, namely Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. This disease is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes (Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex). Symptoms of filariasis in men or women include damage to the lymphatic system swelling of the arms, legs, and genitals, which causes pain, decreased productivity, and social problems. Filarial diagnosis through examination of blood smears to detect filarial parasites in the blood, accompanied by hematological and clinical chemical examinationsObjective: This study aimed to describe filariasis through blood tests (blood smears, hematological examinations, and clinical chemistry examinations) on filariasis respondents using a cross-sectional approach.Method: This type of descriptive research uses a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were 6 filarial respondents in Pedurungan District, Semarang City. The examination was conducted at the Tologosari Wetan and Kulon Health Centers on September 12-18, 2020. Secondary data collection was obtained from capillary blood examination using thin blood smears, automatic hematological examination using a hematology analyzer, and clinical chemistry examination using the spectrophotometer method with a spectrophotometer. The research data was processed and analyzed using Univariate analysis using maximum, minimum, and average values.Results: Hematological examination for hemoglobin level of 12,5 g%, leukocytes 3200 cells/ml, platelets 137.00 cells, erythrocytes 4,07x106 cells, lymphocytes 35 cells, neutrophils 73 cells, eosinophils 1 cell, monocytes 9 cells, MCH 30,78 pg, MCV 86,48 fl, MCHC 36,24 g/l and clinical chemistry examination results for cholesterol 145,7 g/dl and triglycerides 104,6 g/dl. Meanwhile, on examination of thin blood smears, microfilariae were found.Conclusion: The results of the blood smear evaluation showed an abnormality in the size of the red blood cells in the form of microcytic (smaller red blood cell size), and filarial findings were found. In contrast, hematology and clinical chemistry examination results obtained normal results.

Abstract

Background: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) tends to increase in patients with tuberculosis (TB). The increase in NLR can also result from other risk factors, such as medical history, smoking status, treatment history, and treatment stage.Objectives: To determine the risk factors associated with the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Semarang.Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. It was conducted at the Semarang Community Health Center from July 1, 2024, to August 31, 2024. The research sample consisted of pulmonary tuberculosis patients from five Puskesmas in the city, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected via laboratory test results and structured interviews. Descriptive analysis was used to evaluate frequency distributions, while bivariate analysis was used to assess relationships between variables.Results: Among 70 respondents, a significant relationship was found between treatment stage and the NLR in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Kota Semarang (p=0,012). However, no significant relationship was found between comorbidities, smoking status, or treatment history and the NLR (p=0,525;0,790, and 0,525)Conclusion: The Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) decreased after patients progressed to the advanced treatment stage. Tuberculosis patients are encouraged to complete all stages of treatment and to stop smoking to enhance treatment outcomes.
