Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering effects of turmeric (Curcuma domestica) in an effervescent powder drink formulation to prevent atherosclerosis. The effervescent preparation was produced using standard effervescent techniques, with organoleptic tests revealing an orange color, the characteristic aroma of turmeric, and a slightly sweet taste. The formulation’s pH was approximately 5.9, with a flowability test result of 14 seconds, a powder angle of repose of 30°, and a dissolution time of  4 minutes and 20 seconds. Curcumin shows potential as an anticholesterol as a preventive measure of atherosclerosis disease  through molecular docking testing using autodock-vina. Qualitative test on turmeric effervescent with Sprektrofotometer UV-VIS, Scanning Electon Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Cholesterol testing was conducted on mice induced with cholesterol using margarine over a one-week period, resulting in increased cholesterol levels of maximum 290 mg/dL. Following administration of the converted turmeric dosage, cholesterol levels significantly maximum decreased in the first week to  165 mg/dL. By the second week, further reductions were observed, with cholesterol levels maximum dropping to 143 mg/dL. These results suggest that turmeric effervescent formulation exhibits promising cholesterol-lowering properties and may contribute to the prevention of atherosclerosis

Abstract

Diare akut adalah salah satu masalah kesehatan yang signifikan pada anak balita, yang dapat menyebabkan dehidrasi dan meningkatkan angka kematian jika tidak ditangani dengan baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pemberian terapi madu terhadap diare akut pada anak usia balita di Puskesmas Limboto. Jenis penelitian ini quasi-eksperimen dengan desain two group pre-test post-test design. Penelitian terdiri dari variabel independen (pemberian terapi madu) dan variabel dependen (frekuensi diare). Jumlah populasi dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 90 anak balita yang mengalami diare akut di Puskesmas Limboto, dengan sampel 30 anak yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok (kelompok terapi madu, oralit, zinc, dan kelompok oralit, zinc). Instrumentasi menggunakan lembar observasi, dan teknik analisa data menggunakan uji statistik uji wilcoxon signed ranks untuk mengukur perubahan sebelum dan sesudah terapi madu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian terapi madu secara signifikan menurunkan frekuensi diare dan memperbaiki konsistensi tinja pada kelompok terapi madu, oralit, dan zinc dibandingkan kelompok intervensi oralit dan zinc, dengan nilai p = < 0,005 (p = 0,001, 0,001, 0,001, 0,001). Pembahasan menguraikan efektivitas madu sebagai terapi komplementer karena kandungan antibakteri dan sifat prebiotiknya. Kesimpulan dan saran dari penelitian ini adalah terapi madu efektif sebagai metode komplementer dalam mengurangi gejala diare akut pada balita. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi penting bagi pengembangan intervensi berbasis terapi komplementer yang aman dan alami untuk mengatasi diare pada balita. Penelitian ini telah disetujui oleh KEPK Universitas Negeri Gorontalo yang dibuktikan dengan nomor surat: 246A/UN47.B7/KE/2024.

Abstract

The number of patients diagnosed with lung disease at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital increased in 2023 by 1,947 cases. Initial observation results on 10 patients treated with lung disease were obtained that all of them were active smokers. The purpose of this study is to find out smoking addiction in male patients with lung disease. This research method uses a quantitative descriptive research design to determine the picture of smoking addiction in male patients with lung disease at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital, Gorontalo City. The population in this study is 502 respondents with a sample size of 100 respondents using the accidental sampling technique. The results of this study showed that male patients with lung disease who had very low smoking dependence were 19 respondents (19.0%), low smoking dependence was 23 respondents (23.0%), moderate smoking dependence was 42 respondents (42.0%), high smoking dependence was 14 respondents (14.0%) and very high smoking dependence was 2 respondents (2.0%). Smokers have a higher risk of experiencing symptoms of respiratory disorders and lung dysfunction because cigarettes contain 4000 harmful chemicals. It is hoped that this study can provide an overview of smoking addiction that can reduce the incidence of lung disease.

Abstract

Desa Salilama merupakan salah satu wilayah yang memiliki angka kejadian stunting dan tuberkulosis yang masih tinggi diakibatkan minimnya pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai gizi seimbang, rendahnya kesadaran terhadap pencegahan penyakit, serta keterbatasan akses terhadap pangan bergizi. Daun kelor (Moringa oleifera) memiliki kandungan gizi tinggi untuk meningkatkan imunitas dan mencegah stunting maupun infeksi TB. Pemanfaatan daun kelor selama ini masih terbatas pada konsumsi rumah tangga tanpa inovasi pengolahan yang bernilai tambah. Oleh karena itu, dilaksanakan program pengabdian masyarakat berupa pelatihan pembuatan Nutri-Bites berbasis pangan local daun kelor (Moringa oleifera). Metode yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini meliputi dua tahap utama, yaitu edukasi kesehatan dan pelatihan pembuatan Nutri-Bites. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian menunjukkan dampak peningkatan pengetahuan dan partisipasi masyarakat yang signifikan dalam memahami pentingnya gizi seimbang dan pemanfaatan pangan lokal bernutrisi tinggi, pada kegiatan pelatihan pembuatan Nutri-Bites mayoritas peserta mampu mengikuti instruksi dan menirukan seluruh tahapan proses pembuatan dengan baik dan tepat, baik secara teknis maupun prosedural. Produk Nutri-Bites yang dihasilkan dinyatakan memenuhi kriteria layak konsumsi dan aman dikonsumsi. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini tidak hanya memberikan pengetahuan baru, tetapi juga memberdayakan masyarakat lokal untuk mampu menghasilkan produk pangan sehat secara mandiri, yang diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah awal dalam menciptakan kemandirian gizi dan peningkatan kualitas hidup masyarakat Desa Salilama.

Abstract

Introduction: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB RO) is still a threat in TB control and is one of the main public health problems in many countries in the world. Globally in 2019, it is estimated that 3.3% of new TB patients and 17.7% of previously treated TB patients will be drug-resistant TB patients. Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of knowledge about Drug-Resistant TB (TB-RO) and the level of medication adherence in pulmonary TB patients. Method: This type of research is quantitative research with analytical observational methods using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study was TB sufferers who were undergoing treatment at the Limboto Community Health Center, totaling 70 respondents. The research technique used accidental sampling to obtain a sample of 35 respondents. Data analysis used the Fishers exact test with the knowledge level questionnaire instrument and MMS-8. Results: The results showed that 29 respondents had good knowledge and were compliant with taking medication, 4 respondents had poor knowledge and were compliant with taking medication, and 2 respondents had poor knowledge and were not compliant with taking medication. The statistical test results showed that p-Value = 0.025, which means less than (α = 0.05), indicating that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge about TB-RO and adherence to taking medication. Conclusion: The patient's lack of knowledge about the disease and the use of drugs for therapy results in the patient's lack of understanding of the therapy being undertaken, which causes patient non-compliance in using the medication.
