Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of people with DM worldwide in 2010 was 285 million. This number increased to 371 million people in 2012 and increased to 387 million people in 2014. This number will continue to increase beyond 600 million people in 2035. The prevalence of DM in Jambi province based on interviews diagnosed by doctors and symptoms by 1.1 percent. According to the United Kingdom Prospective Study (UKPDS) report, the most important chronic complications are cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, retinopathy, and diabetic nephropathy. Thus actually death in DM occurs not directly due to hyperglycemia, but is associated with complications that occur. The need for motivation and education from health workers regarding the use of DM drugs. Sometimes other drugs are needed to treat complications of DM. Methods: This study uses a prospective descriptive study. The data taken is secondary data by looking at the research variables recorded in the patient's medical record. The sample of this study were all patients with diabetes mellitus who were treated at Raden Mattaher Hospital in May to September 2019 (total sampling). Results: Most patients with diabetes mellitus were aged ≥ 45 years, ie 67 people. The longest use of diabetes mellitus drugs is more than 1 year to 3 years, which is 30 people. The most widely used diabetes mellitus drug, insulin aspart, is 27 people. How to use diabetes mellitus drug is a single insulin as many as 32 people. Conclusion: Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 tends to occur in the elderly at most more than 1 year to 3 years using the most diabetes mellitus diabetes drug administered by means of a single insulin. Keywords: DM type 2, Diabetes Mellitus drugs, how to use ABSTRAK Pendahuluan Menurut International Diabetes Federation (IDF), jumlah penderita DM di seluruh dunia pada tahun 2010 adalah 285 juta orang. Angka ini meningkat menjadi 371 juta orang pada tahun 2012 dan meningkat menjadi 387 juta orang pada tahun 2014. Angka ini akan terus meningkat melampaui 600 juta orang pada tahun 2035. Prevalensi penyakit DM di provinsi Jambi berdasarkan wawancara yang terdiagnosis dokter dan gejala sebesar 1,1 persen. Menurut laporan United Kingdom Prospective Study (UKPDS), Komplikasi kronis paling utama adalah penyakit kardiovaskuler, penyakit pembuluh darah perifer, retinopati, serta nefropati diabetik. Dengan demikian sebetulnya kematian pada DM terjadi tidak secara Iangsung akibat hiperglikemianya, tetapi berhubungan dengan komplikasi yang terjadi. Perlunya motivasi dan edukasi dari petugas kesehatan tentang penggunaan obat DM. Terkadang diperlukan obat lain untuk mengobati komplikasi dari DM. Metode Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian deskriptif prospektif. Data yang diambil adalah data sekunder dengan melihat variabel-variabel penelitian yang tercatat pada rekam medik pasien. Sampel penelitian ini adalah semua pasien diabetes mellitus yang berobat di RS Raden Mattaher pada bulan mei sampai september 2019 (total sampling). Hasil Pasien yang terkena diabetes mellitus terbanyak pada umur ≥ 45 tahun, yakni 67 orang. Lama penggunaan obat diabetes mellitus paling banyak lebih dari 1 tahun hingga 3 tahun yakni 30 orang. Obat diabetes mellitus yang paling banyak digunakan yakni insulin aspart sebanyak 27 orang. Cara penggunaan obat diabetes mellitus yaitu insulin tunggal sebanyak 32 orang. Kesimpulan Diabetes mellitus tipe 2 cenderung terjadi pada usia lanjut paling banyak lebih dari 1 tahun hingga 3 tahun menggunakan obat diabetes mellitus terbanyak insulin aspart yang diberikan dengan cara insulin tunggal.

ABSTRACT Introduction Women who have a cesarean delivery have a 5-20 times greater risk of infection than normal delivery. Antibiotics given to surgical patients aim to reduce the number of bacterial colonies, reduce the amount of inoculum contamination so that prophylactic antibiotics are needed to reduce the risk of infection or as therapy if they are already in a previous infection state. Aim of this study was to determine the effect of prophylactic antibiotic use and length of stay in cesarean section. Method this research uses analytical research with a cross sectional approach. There were 318 patients who met the study inclusion criteria. The assessment of research variables used secondary data from the medical records of patients with cesarean section at Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi in 2018. Results of this study were patients with caesarean section at Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi in 2018, at most 20 to 35 years, 240 people, 135 primigravidas people, 244 people with a history of first cesarean section, used a prophylactic antibiotic for cesarean section, namely ceftriaxone once two grams for 3 days, with the most diagnosis of cesarean section due to premature rupture of the membranes as many as 87 people. There was a relationship between the type of prophylactic antibiotics given (p = 0.00), the number of antibiotics (p = 0.00), and the diagnosis before cesarean delivery (p = 0.00) with the length of Inpatient. Keywords: Antibiotics, Caesarean section, Inpatient ABSTRAK Pendahuluan Wanita yang melakukan persalinan secara bedah sesar memiliki resiko infeksi lebih besar 5-20 kali lipat dibandingkan persalinan normal. Antibiotik yang diberikan pada pasien bedah bertujuan untuk mengurangi jumlah koloni bakteri, mengurangi jumlah inokulum kontaminasi sehingga diperlukan pemberian antibiotik profilaksis untuk menurunkan risiko infeksi atau sebagai terapi apabila sudah dalam keadaan infeksi sebelumnya.

Abstract

Background: Hypertrophic scars are abnormal scars resulted from a disrupted wound healing process. Hypertrophic scars can affect the body aesthetic of the sufferers, but, on the other hand, conventional therapy has not been optimally effective. The application of essential oil combinations as an alternative therapy for hypertrophic scars has not been scientifically proven.Purposes: This study was to determine the effectiveness of the essential oil as a hypertrophic scar therapy.Methods: This study used a pre and post-test design. As many as 24 subjects aged 17-25 years with hypertrophic scars were given essential oil combinations every morning and evening for six months. Assessment of hypertrophic scars was done using the POSAS  (Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale).Results: The results showed that the POSAS score decreased after the essential oil combination administration for six months, 14.40±6.08 vs. 22.67±8.31 (p<0.001).Conclusion: the combination of essential oil oils used in this study reduces hypertrophic scars based on the POSAS assessment.

Abstract

Background: Betel nut (Areca catechu L) are traditional beverages in Jambi. Betel nut high dose has a cytotoxic effect on testis and other organs—limited data about the effect of betel nut as male antifertility.Purposes:  This study aimed to determine the effect of infertility on betel nut use at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight (BW) in male rats.   Methods: Ten male Sprague Dawney rats that had passed the fertility test, aged 2-3 months and weighing 150-200 grams ware used in this study. The rat was grouped into two groups randomly. Group 1, as the negative control, were received aqua dest, and group 2 was treated by betel nut with dose 50 mg/kg BW for 35 days. When terminated, testis weight weighed using micro scales. Blood collected for measuring testosterone levels. Histopathology assessment of testis used Hematoxylin Eosin Staining and sperm counting from cauda epididymis.Results: The weight of testis in the group received betel nut was lower than the control group. The histopathology of testis showed shrunk, reduced the diameter of seminiferous tubules, and like cytolytic lesions in the germinal layer—the total sperm number and progressive sperms also lower than the control group (p<0.05). There was no abnormality in Leydig cell and interstitium tissue.  Male rats after treatment could not impregnate the female rats.Conclusion: Betel nut at dose 50 mg/kg BW have antifertility activity in male rats.
