Abstract

Mikroflora normal vagina merupakan faktor kesehatan yang penting bagi wanita. Penurunan jumlah Lactobacillus spp berhubungan dengan perubahan flora vagina dan pertumbuhan mikroorganisme patogen sehingga menyebakan infeksi pada vagina. Bakterial Vaginosis merupakan gangguan pada mikoflora vagina dimana secara normal didominasi oleh Lactobacillus spp. Pada studi cross sectional, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara bakterial vaginosis dengan banyak infeksi menular seksual termasuk Gonore, infeksi Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis dan HIV. Data pada kelompok pekerja wanita cleaning service di RS Islam Sultan Agung Semarang menunjukkan sebagian besar berusia 20– 40 tahun. Pendidikan terakhir terbanyak adalah SMA (68,9%). Usia pernikahan terbanyak adalah > 5 tahun – 10 tahun (37,9). Sebanyak 48,2 % peserta belum pernah mendapatkan informasi tentang keputihan sebelumnya. Pengetahuan tentang keputihan fisiologis dan patologis belum banyak dimengerti oleh masyarakat khususnya dalam hal ini adalah pekerja cleaning service. Kegiatan yang diusulkan sebagai solusi adalah pemberian penyuluhan tentang keputihan dan pemeriksaan sekret vagina untuk deteksi awal bakterial vaginosis. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah terdapat sebanyak 25 dari 29 peserta (86,2%) mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan tentang keputihan. Dari hasil pemeriksaan sekret vagina didapatkan hasil sebanyak 26 peserta memiliki pH normal (3-4), sedangkan sebanyak 3 peserta memiliki hasil pH > 4,5 dan mengalami bakterial vaginosis. Normal vaginal microflora is an important health factor for women. The decrease in the number of Lactobacillus spp is associated with changes in the vaginal flora and the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that cause vaginal infections. Bacterial Vaginosis is a disorder of the vaginal microflora which is normally dominated by Lactobacillus species. In a cross-sectional study, there was a significant association between bacterial vaginosis and many sexually transmitted infections including Gonorrhea, Chlamydia infection, Trichomoniasis and HIV. Data on the group of cleaning service workers at the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang shows that most are 20–40 years old. Most recent education is high school (68.9%). The most age of marriage is > 5 years – 10 years (37.9). As many as 48.2% of participants had never received information about vaginal discharge before. Knowledge about physiological and pathological leucorrhoea is not widely understood by the public, especially in this case cleaning service workers. Activities proposed as a solution are the provision of counseling about vaginal discharge and examination of vaginal secretions to detect early bacterial vaginosis. The result of this community service activity was that 25 of the 29 participants (86.2%) experienced an increase in knowledge about vaginal discharge. From the results of vaginal secretion examination, it was found that 26 participants had a normal pH (3 -4), while 3 participants had a pH > 4.5 and experienced bacterial vaginosis.

Abstract

Kanker serviks merupakan kanker keempat terbanyak pada wanita di seluruh dunia. Infeksi persisten HPV merupakan faktor risiko utama untuk terjadinya kanker serviks. Tingginya angka kematian akibat kanker serviks di Indonesia disebabkan karena 95% wanita tidak menjalani pemeriksaan secara dini sehingga menyebabkan keterlambatan diagnosis dari kanker serviks dan menurunkan harapan hidup wanita. Kasus kanker serviks di Kota Semarang masih menunjukan angka yang cukup tinggi yaitu sebagai kanker terbesar kedua setelah kanker payudara serta merupakan wilayah dengan kasus kanker serviks tertinggi di provinsi Jawa tengah yaitu sebanyak 406 kasus. Sejauh ini program pencegahan kanker serviks terbatas pada pencegahan penyakit menular seksual, belum banyak yang menghubungkan dengan bakterial vaginosis. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang Bakterial Vaginosis sebagai Faktor Risiko Kanker Serviks pada wanita usia reproduktif. Upaya tersebut diharapkan dapat meningkatkan upaya pencegahan terjadinya kanker serviks di Kota Semarang. Metode dari pengabdian ini adalah dengan penyuluhan dengan sasaran pasien wanita usia subur di Puskesmas Pandanaran dan Halmahera. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan responden yang di tandai dengan 95% peserta memiliki nilai diatas 50 setelah mendapatkan penyuluhan. Cervical cancer is the world's fourth most common malignancy among women. Cervical cancer is greatly increased by persistent HPV infection. The high death rate from cervical cancer in Indonesia is caused by 95% of women failing to get early inspection, resulting in cervical cancer detection delays and a reduction in women's life expectancy. Cervical cancer cases remain quite high in Semarang City, namely as the second most common cancer after breast cancer and as the area with the highest cervical cancer cases in Central Java province. Cervical cancer prevention initiatives have thus far been focused to avoiding sexually transmitted illnesses, with little focusing on bacterial vaginosis. The purpose of this service is to raise awareness of Bacterial Vaginosis as a Risk Factor for Cervical Cancer among women of reproductive age. It is hoped that these measures will help to strengthen efforts to prevent cervical cancer in Semarang. This treatment is provided through counseling to female suburban patients at the Pandanaran and Halmahera Community Health Centers. This community service activity resulted in an increase in respondents' knowledge, as seen by 95% of participants rating above 50 after getting counseling.

Abstract

Nasal congestion is the most common complaint complained of by allergic rhinitis sufferers. Symptoms of nasal congestion in allergic rhinitis can affect a person's quality of life, resulting in decreased work productivity, academic and social success. Based on previous research, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis is 10 to 30% of the world population, where nasal congestion is the most frequently reported symptom with a prevalence of 60%. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nasal congestion and the quality of life of allergic rhinitis sufferers among FK Unissula students. This research is an analytical research with a cross sectional design with sample criteria of Unissula Medical Faculty students Class of 2022 and 2021 who suffer from allergic rhinitis and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this research were students of FK Unissula Class of 2022 and 2021 and were willing to be research subjects. The exclusion criteria in this study were students with anatomical nasal abnormalities and those experiencing chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps, deviated septum, adenoid hypertrophy, and neoplasms. There were 50 respondents from FK Unissula students who suffered from allergic rhinitis. It was found that 31 (62%) students had a blocked nose and 19 (38%) students did not experience a blocked nose. The research results showed that the majority of students experienced mild nasal congestion and the quality of life for the majority of students was good. The results of the analysis of the relationship between nasal congestion and the quality of life of allergic rhinitis sufferers using the Spearman test obtained p 0.048 with a correlation coefficient of 0.281. The results of the analysis above showed that there was a significant relationship between nasal congestion and the quality of life of allergic rhinitis sufferers.

Abstract

Nyeri bahu merupakan nyeri yang sering terjadi seiring dengan bertambahnya usia. Nyeri tersebut membatasi kemampuan untuk mengangkat lengan di atas kepala atau memutar bahu. Faktor risiko nyeri bahu dilaporkan berhubungan dengan berbagai faktor sosio-demografis, klinis, pekerjaan, dan berbagai paparan fisik dalam pekerjaan. Mata pencaharian penduduk yang sebagian besar bekerja sebagai petani dan bercocok tanam di kebun, serta kondisi geografis yang naik turun memungkinkan seseorang harus berjalan dengan tenaga lebih dibandingkan dengan yang tinggal di perkotaan sehingga berpotensi untuk mengalami nyeri pada sendi sendi. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah untuk memberikan pemeriksaan kesehatan dan edukasi latihan sendi bahu untuk mengurangi nyeri bagi masyarakat Dusun Mulungan. Selain itu, jika dibutuhkan pasien diberikan pengobatan gratis sesuai dengan keluhan yang dialami berdasarkan hasil anamnesa dokter yang terlibat. Metode pelaksanaan PkM terdiri dari 2 tahap: (1) penyuluhan kesehatan mengenai penyakit nyeri bahu dan tatalaksana latihan sederhana, (2) pemeriksaan dan pengobatan gratis. Sebagian besar masyarakat yang memeriksaan kesehatan adalah perempuan 44(77,2%), dan usia lanjut 25 (43,9%). PkM di dusun Mulungan, Getasan, Kabupaten Semarang bermanfaat sebagai upaya peningkatan kesehatan masyarakat yang memiliki keterbatasan akses layanan kesehatan.A frozen shoulder is a pain that often occurs with age. The pain limits the ability to raise the arm above the head or rotate the shoulder. Risk factors for shoulder pain are reported to be related to various factors, including socio-demographic, clinical, and occupational, as well as different occupational physical exposures. The livelihoods of the population, most of whom work as farmers and grow crops in gardens, as well as the ups and downs of geographical conditions, mean that people have to walk with more energy than those who live in urban areas, so they have the potential to experience joint pain. This community service activity (PkM) aims to provide health checks and education on shoulder joint exercises to reduce pain for the people of Mulungan Hamlet. Apart from that, if necessary, patients are given free treatment according to the complaints they are experiencing based on the results of the anamnesis of the doctors involved. The PkM implementation method consists of 2 stages: (1) health education on shoulder pain and simple exercise management, and the second stage is free examination and treatment. Most who had health checks were women 44 (77.2%), and 25 (43.9%) elderly. PkM in Dusun Mulungan, Getasan, Semarang Regency, helps improve people's health with limited access to health services.

Abstract

Background: The use of probiotics to treat colitis is unsatisfactory, leading to a need for the combination with purple sweet potatoes (Ipomoea Batatas) and zinc. Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of probiotics, purple sweet potatoes, and zinc on epithelial thickness.Methods: This was a post-test-only randomized controlled group experimental study using 30 mice divided into six groups, including KN, K-, K+, P1, P2, and P3. All groups except KN were induced with 4% acetic acid on day 1, then each received treatment for five days. KN, K+, P1, and P2 groups were given distilled water, sulfasalazine 1.3 mg/20 g BW, probiotics 0.078 mg/20 gBW + purple sweet potatoes 0.00169 g/20 gBW, and probiotics 0.078 mg/20 gBW + zinc 0.052 mg/20 gBW, respectively. Meanwhile, P3 received a combination of probiotics 0.078 mg/20 gBW + purple sweet potatoes 0.00169 g/20 gBW + zinc 0.0052 mg/20 gBW. Histological preparations were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin and examined under 400× magnification across 10 fields of view. Results: The average epithelial thicknesses were KN (75.48±5.09), K− (28.02±5.60), K+ (69.1±13.82), P1 (47.05±9.41), P2 (48.6±9.73), and P3 (71.57±14.31). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a significant difference among the groups with a p-value <0.001. Post Hoc LSD test identified significant differences (p-value<0.05) among all group pairs except between K+ and P3 (p-value=0.134) as well as P1 and P2 (p-value=0.349), but P3 had the highest average thickness value (71.57±14.31).Conclusions: The combination of probiotics, purple sweet potatoes, and zinc had an effect on intestinal epithelial thickness in male BALB/c mice with ulcerative colitis.

Abstract

Candidiasis is an infection caused by Candida species, which is the most common fungal infection. The prevalence of this infection increases with the rise in immunocompromised cases, such as HIV/AIDS. This study aims to determine microbiological data on Candida species infection and colonization, including types and susceptibility testing to fluconazole and voriconazole. This research is descriptive in nature. The study population consisted of people living with HIV who were screened by taking saliva samples, which showed the growth of Candida species. Identification of Candida species was performed using Gram staining, germ tube tests, and color identification in Hicrome Candida agar medium. Susceptibility testing was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer method for fluconazole and voriconazole. The diameter of the inhibition zone of Candida was measured and compared with CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) standards. A total of 91 Candida species isolates were found. Candida albicans was the most frequently isolated species (75%), followed by Candida tropicalis (11%), Candida krusei (10%), and Candida glabrata (4%). The sensitivity of Candida albicans to fluconazole and voriconazole was 98.5%, while Candida tropicalis showed 100% sensitivity. Candida albicans remains the most prevalent isolate and is still sensitive to fluconazole and voriconazole.

Abstract

Microbe-based infection transmission commonly occurs through hands, as hands harbor both normal microbiota and pathogenic microorganisms. The use of hand sanitizer is preferred by the public due to its practicality compared to handwashing. However, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause irritation and dryness of the skin. The availability of natural ingredient-based hand sanitizers remains limited. This study aims to analyze the difference in effectiveness between aloe vera-based hand sanitizer and 70% alcohol hand sanitizer in reducing the number of microorganism colonies on hands. This experimental study employed a Pre-Post Test Group Design. Samples were consecutively sampled from medical students at Sultan Agung Islamic University, Semarang, using the glove juice method, with 20 samples per group. The percentage reduction in microorganism colony counts between the aloe vera-based hand sanitizer group and the 70% alcohol group was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that the mean effectiveness in reducing microorganism colony counts after using alcohol-based hand sanitizer was 59.2%, while that of the aloe vera-based hand sanitizer was 37.97%. The Mann-Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). There is a significant difference in the effectiveness of aloe vera-based hand sanitizer compared to 70% alcohol hand sanitizer in reducing microorganism colony counts on hands. The 70% alcohol-based hand sanitizer was found to be more effective than the aloe vera-based formulation.
