Abstract

Stunting, or chronic malnutrition, remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, impacting the cognitive and physical development of children. This community service project aimed to address this issue through a culturally sensitive and sustainable approach in the community of Olak Kemang Village, Jambi. The program focused on diversifying local wisdom-based herbal products to improve nutritional intake among pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children under five. The method involved a three-stage process: (1) socialization and nutritional education about stunting, (2) training on the hygienic processing of local plants rich in micronutrients, such as Moringa (Moringa oleifera) and Katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus), and (3) a hands-on workshop on creating diversified, child-friendly products like herbal powders, fortified cookies, and puddings. Pre- and post-activity questionnaires demonstrated a significant increase in participants' knowledge and awareness of stunting prevention, from 67,4% to 90,58%. Participants also successfully produced several innovative herbal food products. This initiative highlights that empowering communities by integrating local knowledge with scientific principles is a promising and effective strategy for stunting prevention. Keywords: Stunting, community service, herbal product, nutrition, local wisdom.

Abstract

Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index, requiring close monitoring to prevent toxicity, particularly in patients with heart failure, polypharmacy, and impaired renal function. Due to limitations in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), we estimated digoxin serum levels using pharmacokinetic formulas based on creatinine clearance. This retrospective observational study aimed to conduct an initial risk screening by estimating digoxin concentrations, evaluating drug interactions, and assessing heart rate in 17 heart failure patients at a regional general hospital in Jambi (January–August 2025). Descriptive analysis revealed that 76% of patients were within the therapeutic range, while 24% exceeded it, with elevated levels correlating with higher creatinine serum and lower creatinine clearance. Common drug interactions involved furosemide, bisoprolol, and proton pump inhibitors, with spironolactone posing a severe risk. Clinically, bisoprolol combined with hypokalemia appeared associated with lower heart rates in patients with predicted toxic concentrations. While the formula-based pharmacokinetic approach serves as a useful exploratory initial screening tool, these findings require further validation through laboratory-based TDM and larger studies.
