Abstract

Background: Rhodomyrtus tomentosa is widely used in traditional medicine, but its subchronic renal safety profile remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to assess mild kidney injury induced by R. tomentosa leaf ethanol extract through qualitative and quantitative histopathological evaluation in female Rattus norvegicus. Methods: Twenty-four female rats were divided into six groups: a control and five treatment groups receiving the extract at doses of 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 mg/kgBW for 14 days. Kidney tissues were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin staining and image-based digital quantification across five fields of view per specimen to determine glomerular and tubular damage. Results: Qualitative evaluation revealed dose-dependent alterations, transitioning from mild glomerular hypercellularity at lower doses to focal necrosis and hemorrhage at higher doses. Quantitative analysis clarified a distinct compartmental vulnerability. Glomerular damage showed a descriptive upward trend across doses (9.75% to 13.53%) but lacked statistical significance (Kruskal-Wallis, p = 0.05). Conversely, tubular damage increased sharply from 1.99% to 17.49%, demonstrating a highly significant dose-dependent escalation (p = 0.001). Post-hoc pairwise comparisons confirmed that significant tubular degeneration manifested critically at elevated exposures of 1600 mg/kgBW (p = 0.014) and 3200 mg/kgBW (p = 0.002) compared to the control group. Conclusion: The ethanol extract of R. tomentosa leaves induces dose-dependent renal alterations, with tubular structures exhibiting significantly higher susceptibility than glomeruli due to active metabolic clearance. However, the absolute tissue damage remains strictly within the mild, non-destructive category, establishing a reassuring safety margin for its pharmaceutical development.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease with a high global prevalence and a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications. Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE-Is) are widely recommended as first-line antihypertensive therapy, making evaluation of their rational use essential to ensure treatment safety and effectiveness. This descriptive observational study employed a retrospective design using medical records of hypertensive outpatients at Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin, Jambi, from January 2023 to December 2024. A total of 100 eligible patients were included. The evaluation assessed the appropriateness of indication, dosage, frequency, duration of therapy, and potential drug interactions based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria and the JNC 8 guidelines. Most patients were aged 60 years or older and were diagnosed with essential hypertension or hypertensive heart disease. All ACE-I prescriptions were appropriate for their clinical indications (100%), while dosage, frequency, and treatment duration fully complied with guideline recommendations. Most identified drug interactions were synergistic, whereas antagonistic (11%) and potentiation (25%) interactions were generally mild to moderate and clinically manageable. Overall, ACE-I prescribing was considered rational. Continuous monitoring remains important, particularly for patients at risk of clinically significant drug interactions to optimize therapeutic outcomes and patient safety.

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized ovum implants outside the uterine cavity and may cause life-threatening internal bleeding. Although the intrauterine device is an effective contraceptive method, pregnancies resulting from contraceptive failure have a greater likelihood of becoming ectopic. This study aimed to determine the relationship between intrauterine device use and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy at RSUD Raden Mattaher and RSI Arafah Jambi. An analytical observational design with a retrospective approach was applied. The samples were selected using total sampling from the medical records of first-trimester pregnant women treated between 2020 and 2024 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 99 respondents. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.013 (p < 0.05) and an odds ratio of 0.172. These findings indicate a statistically significant association between intrauterine device use and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy, with intrauterine device use associated with a lower risk of ectopic pregnancy in the study population. Therefore, intrauterine device use was significantly related to the incidence of ectopic pregnancy among patients at RSUD Raden Mattaher and RSI Arafah Jambi.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a significant health problem in Jambi City, with Talang Banjar Primary Health Center recording the highest number of cases (113 children) in 2024. Fathers’ involvement in stunting prevention is often overlooked despite their strategic role in family decision-making. Objective: This community service activity aimed to implement a father engagement program to increase fathers’ awareness and participation in stunting prevention in the working area of Talang Banjar Primary Health Center. Methods: The activity was conducted through a one-day workshop attended by 40 fathers of children aged 0-59 months. The program included an interactive lecture on stunting prevention, a nutritional label reading practice session, and a group discussion on fathers’ roles in family nutrition. Results: The workshop was attended by 40 fathers from for villages in the working area of Talang Banjar Primary Health Center. Participants showed high enthusiasm during the interactive lecture and practical sessions. Based on observations and discussions, fathers expressed increased awareness of the importance of their involvement in stunting prevention. Several challenges were identified, including time constraints and economic factors, which need to be addressed in future programs. Conclusions: The father engagement program through a one-day workshop successfully engaged fathers and increased their awareness of stunting prevention. This community service activity demonstrates he potential of rather-focused interventions to support stunting reduction efforts in Jambi City. Recommendations for future programs include integrating father engagement into routine primary health center activities and conducting follow-up evaluations.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a growing public health concern associated with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases. Improving public knowledge through health education is an important strategy for promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing obesity. Audiovisual media have been widely adopted to enhance educational effectiveness and participant engagement. Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based obesity education program using PowerPoint presentations and an educational video to improve participants' knowledge. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among community participants in Jambi, Indonesia, in 2026. Participants completed a 10-item multiple-choice questionnaire before and after the educational session. The intervention covered the definition of obesity, body mass index classification, waist circumference, risk factors, complications, and lifestyle-based prevention strategies. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Forty-five participants completed both assessments. The mean knowledge score increased from 86.67 ± 12.25 at baseline to 94.89 ± 6.95 after the intervention. The distribution of score differences was non-normal (Shapiro–Wilk: W = 0.749, p < 0.001). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge following the educational intervention (W = 0, p < 0.001). Participant evaluation also indicated high acceptance of the educational program across all assessed domains, including material quality, video presentation quality, perceived educational benefits, and overall participant satisfaction. Conclusion: The community-based obesity education program effectively improved participants' knowledge and was well accepted by the participants. Integrating presentations with audiovisual media represents a practical approach to strengthening health literacy and supporting community-based obesity prevention. Keywords: audiovisual education; obesity; community intervention; health promotion; knowledge.
