Abstract

Obesity is a condition where the body is overweight due to fat accumulation, each exceeding 20-25% of body weight for men and women. L-carnitine is a nutrient that plays a role in transporting fat to the mitochondria to be burned and converted into energy for the body. Sufficient L-carnitine allows the body to burn fat at optimal levels. This research aims to determine the side effects of fed L-carnitine supplements against liver histology. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four groups comprising six albino rats. The treatments were fed orally by distilled water 1 ml/day (Control), P1 fed by L-carnitine supplement dose 100 mg/kg body weight orally 1ml/day, P2 fed by L-carnitine supplement dose 150 mg/kg body weight orally 1ml/day, P3 fed by L-carnitine supplement dose 200 mg/kg body weight orally 1ml/day. Treatments were given to albino rats every day for 90 days. Variables observed measured were lipid degeneration, central vein dilation, and pyknotic nuclei. Data were analyzed with the statistical program (SPSS 22.0 for Windows) with One Way ANOVA. The results showed that feeding L-carnitine supplements in high doses for long periods can damage the liver cells of male rats. The microscopic liver damage statistical analysis showed significant differences (P<0.05) between the control and treatment groups.

Abstract

Background: Health students face various challenges during their studies. The demands of mastering clinical skills and the ability to build therapeutic relationships with patients require high concentration from health students. So it is important for health students to have good concentration during the learning process so that students' mastery of clinical skills can be achieved optimally. Acupuncture is a therapeutic modality that has been proven to have a function to improve individual cognitive abilities. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in improving the concentration of health students. Methods: The research sample in this study is 60 undergraduate nursing students of the Institute of Technology and Health Bali who are divided into an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). The instrument that will be used in this study is the Grid Concentration test to assess the level of student concentration. Results: There was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the concentration score in the treatment group, where before acupuncture the concentration score was (median = 14) and after acupuncture, the concentration score became (median = 20.50). Conclusion: According to the results above, it proves that acupuncture therapy is effective in improving student concentration and can directly optimize working memory capacity.
