Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of antibiotics in the prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infections. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. There are three stages carried out in mapping the effectiveness of antibiotic use in the prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infections, namely: 1) harvesting data, 2) screening data, and 3) Data Analysis and Visualization. This study uses a database from Scopus with scientific journals as many as 9 articles from the range of 2021 to 2024. The effectiveness of antibiotic use in the prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infections is influenced by a variety of factors, including patient adherence, duration of therapy, and vaccine availability and use. Excessive or improper use of antibiotics can increase bacterial resistance, so more sustainable strategies, such as vaccination and stricter antibiotic use policies, are needed to improve the effectiveness of prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infections. The implications of this study are expected to be useful for future researchers and can be used in clinical applications

Abstract

This study aims to explore the global challenges faced in addressing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which are now one of the most serious health threats in the world. This study was conducted through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by searching scientific articles from various databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using the keywords "antibiotic resistance", "global health", "treatment failure", and "resistance mechanisms". The articles analyzed are publications in the last 10 years, focusing on the causes of resistance, their impact on global health, and countermeasures that have been carried out. The results of the study show that antibiotic resistance is mainly caused by the inappropriate use of antibiotics in the medical and non-medical sectors, lack of distribution supervision, and lack of development of new antibiotics. To overcome this, a comprehensive approach is needed, including increasing public education and health workers, strengthening regulations, and developing alternative therapies such as phagotherapy and vaccines. Without proper treatment, antibiotic resistance can lead to infection treatment failure, increased mortality rates, and burden the global health system

Hyperglycemia that is not well controlled can cause serious disorders of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. Based on WHO data, the prevalence of type 2 DM with the potential for hyperglycemia in the world in 2019 was 5.3%. This figure is expected to increase to 6.3% in 2030. Objective: This research was conducted to determine the potential for hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients due to drug interactions at one of hospital in Jember. Method: This research uses a quantitative design with retrospective data collection, namely research obtained based on information from patient medical records. The population in this study was 539 patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus for the period January-December 2022. The sample from this study was type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who met the inclusion criteria. Sampling was calculated using the Slovin formula using random sampling techniques and the results obtained were 84 medical record samples. Analysis using univariate. Data is displayed in frequency and percentage form. Data processing uses Microsoft Excel and SPSS. Results: Most of the drugs received by type 2 diabetes mellitus patients experienced interactions that had the potential to cause hyperglycemia with blood sugar levels ≥200 mg/dl (96.43%) and a moderate clinical significance level of 70.24%. Conclusion: There is a potential for hyperglycemia caused by diabetes drug interactions. Monitoring drug interactions and effective treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus needs to be carried out to achieve optimal therapy targets and increase awareness of healthy lifestyles in diabetes management.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder disease characterized by an increase in blood glucose due to decreased insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells, insulin disorders or resistance. The main risks that are commonly found in every patient diagnosed with DM disease include hypoglycemia. In a study conducted at a public hospital in Jakarta, 186 incidents of interaction of antidiabetic drugs with other drugs that have hypoglycemia potential with a moderate clinical significance level of 83.8% were found. The potential for drug interactions in DM patients is still very frequent. This can be caused by the number of drugs that are often used (Polipharmacy or multiple drug therapy). The purpose of this study is to identify the potential for hypoglycemia in type 2 DM patients due to drug interactions at Citra Husada Jember hospital. This type of research is qualitative research with retrospective data collection. The design of this study uses a cross-sectional design. The population of this study is 662 medical record data of outpatients with type 2 diabetes for the period of January – December 2022. Data analysis uses univariate analysis. In this study, most patients have the potential to experience hypoglycemia.

Abstract

Spices produced in equatorial tropical climates are highly susceptible to mycotoxin contamination. Aflatoxin, a carcinogenic secondary metabolite synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, poses a severe global public health threat by inducing hepatotoxicity and transversion mutations. This study investigates the prevalence of toxigenic fungi and quantifies aflatoxin analogues in retail culinary spices across varying microclimatic environments. An observational surveillance study was conducted using purposive sampling of onion, turmeric, and pepper matrices from traditional markets and modern supermarkets. Fungal characterization utilized Potato Dextrose Agar and Nash-Snyder media. Precise quantification of Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 was executed via high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) and post-column derivatization. Mycological isolation confirmed pervasive colonization by Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Penicillium spp., and Fusarium oxysporum. Method validation yielded excellent recovery (greater than 85%) and precision. Supermarket-sourced pepper (Sample C4) exhibited catastrophic hyper-contamination, with Aflatoxin B1 at 45.35 ppb and total aflatoxins at 99.35 ppb. Turmeric demonstrated intrinsic resistance, with maximum Aflatoxin B1 at 1.41 ppb. Non-parametric Spearman rank analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between trapped packaging micro-humidity and aflatoxin synthesis. In conclusion, modern non-vacuum packaging methodologies drastically elevate trapped micro-humidity, heavily driving the logarithmic growth and toxicological output of Aspergillus. Strict regulatory enforcement of storage humidity and water activity monitoring is urgently required in commercial retail sectors.

Abstract

Infectious diarrhea constitutes a massive global health burden defined by severe gastrointestinal hypermotility, profound fluid hypersecretion, and aggressive mucosal inflammation. Conventional pharmacotherapy, including antimotility agents and broad-spectrum antibiotics, presents significant clinical limitations, including the exacerbation of antimicrobial resistance and adverse systemic effects. Phytochemical interventions utilizing Psidium guajava and Piper betle offer a robust complementary approach. However, the exact quantitative magnitude of their combined pharmacological synergy requires rigorous statistical integration. A systematic review and meta-analysis were executed utilizing PRISMA protocols. Comprehensive literature screening across major databases identified primary research manuscripts reporting precise quantitative parameters on the antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties of the targeted extracts. Extracted data variables included sample sizes, mean outcomes, and standard deviations. The Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model. The multidimensional therapeutic capacity was further mapped and quantified using Radar Chart Analysis (RCA) and geometric Area Under Curve (AUC) mathematical integration. The statistical synthesis indicated that Psidium guajava profoundly suppressed gastrointestinal motility and intestinal fluid accumulation (Pooled SMD = -2.45; 95% CI: -3.10 to -1.80). Concurrently, Piper betle demonstrated immense broad-spectrum bactericidal activity and superlative free radical scavenging capacity (Pooled SMD = 3.85; 95% CI: 2.95 to 4.75). The subsequent AUC integration revealed that combining the specific phytochemical profiles of both botanical sources mathematically expanded the total therapeutic coverage by 42%. The quantitative framework confirms a highly potent synergistic mechanism. Psidium guajava selectively targets the physiological symptoms of hypermotility and secretory failure, while Piper betle aggressively eradicates the underlying pathogenic etiology and neutralizes oxidative tissue damage. This dual-action synergy provides a formidable, evidence-based foundation for the development of advanced botanical therapeutics.
