Abstract

Abstract: Cadaver rigidity due to formalin preservation often intricates students' understanding in anatomical learning. Various solutions have been trial, but there were no satisfactory results. In this study, acetic acid solution was used to restore the motion flexibility motion of small joint in the hand. Investigated the difference in motion angle of articulatio metacarpophalangeal 1 after being given acetic acid in cadaver post formalin preservation. A pair of cadaver hands conserved by formalin from the same body, were exposed to 5% acetic acid for 4 months. Angular measurements performed on flexion and extension before and after exposure. The flexibility of metacarpophalangeal joints 1 increased in the form of angular reduction in flexion movement (22.8° reduced, p<0.05) and the addition of angle to the extension movement (9.85° increased, p<0.05). Administration of acetic acid for 4 months may increase the motion flexibility of small joint like articulatio metacarpophalangeal 1 in cadaver post-formalin preservation. This result may help students to have better anatomical understanding in cadaver at anatomy laboratory. Keywords: Acetic acid; Articulatio metacarpophalangeal 1; Cadaver; Flexibility; Restoration

Abstract

Background: Long-term (persistent) hypertension can harm the kidneys, heart, and brain if it is not caught early and treated effectively.Every year, more people are diagnosed with hypertension, and it is estimated that 9.4 million of these deaths are due to complications from hypertension. In addition to individual negligence, a lack of accurate information about a disease can result in widespread ignorance, which can lead to the rise of health concerns. The key factor contributing to uncontrolled blood pressure, particularly in Asian hypertensive patients, is the lack of understanding about hypertension among healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public.Methods The type of research is descriptive quantitative research with cross sectional. The population of this study were students of the Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University Class of 2019 according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A sample of 174 people used consecutive sampling which was conducted on 20 October 2022 – 7 November 2022.Results: In this study, the percentage of respondents with high levels of knowledge was 51.7%, that of participants with sufficient levels of knowledge was 43.7%, and that of participants with poor levels of knowledge was 4.6%.Conclusion: Most of the students who participated in this study's survey had a high level of knowledge about hypertension.
