Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the hydration status of preschool children aged 36–72 months in Indonesia using urine specific gravity (USG) and to compare hydration patterns between urban and semi-urban areas. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2017 among 191 preschool children in East Jakarta and Ambon Island, selected using simple random sampling. Hydration status was assessed through a 7-day USG measurement using a digital pen refractometer, while additional data on demographics, water source, and fluid intake were collected through structured interviews and dietary records. The results showed that 64.9% of children were euhydrated, whereas 35.1% were classified as dehydrated, with no significant difference between Jakarta (34%) and Ambon (36.1%) (p = 0.886). Although 85.9% of households had access to improved water sources, suboptimal hydration persisted, likely due to inadequate fluid intake and limited caregiver awareness. No cases of hyperhydration or severe dehydration were observed. These findings highlight that over one-third of Indonesian preschool children are affected by dehydration, emphasizing the need for regular hydration monitoring and caregiver-focused interventions

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer is a problem in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). One adjuvant therapy that can enhance wound healing is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), but there is no established guideline regarding the dosage. In Indonesia, there has been no study comparing the energy density of LLLT on diabetic ulcer healingMethods: This is an experimental study on 28 subjects with a randomized diabetic foot ulcer. Group A received standard treatment of ulcer and LLLT 5J/cm2. Group B received standard treatment of ulcer and LLLT 10J/cm2.Results: The difference in wound size between group A and group B were 4.15 mm2 and 7.5 mm2 (p=0.178). The healing rate of group A and group B were 4.15 (-10-34.5) mm2/4 weeks and 7.5 (-2.8-34) mm2/4weeks (p=0.168).Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference between the group receiving LLLT 5J/cm2 or 10 J/cm2 in diabetic foot ulcer healing.
