Abstract

Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are two chronic diseases whose prevalence continues to rise in Indonesia and significantly impact the quality of life of those affected. Conventional medical therapy often requires supportive approaches to enhance treatment effectiveness and improve patients' quality of life. Acupuncture, as a form of traditional Chinese medicine, has shown potential in regulating glucose metabolism and reducing blood pressure through neuroendocrine mechanisms and improved blood circulation. This community service activity aims to provide education and acupuncture services as a supportive therapy for people with diabetes and hypertension in the Larangan Utara village area, Tangerang. The activity method includes health counseling, consultation sessions, and periodic acupuncture therapy. The results of the activity indicate a positive response from the participants, both in terms of understanding the diseases and the reduction of subjective complaints related to blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It is hoped that this program can serve as a model for integrating complementary therapies in the promotional and preventive efforts of public health services.

Abstract

Physical function is crucial in the elderly, as physical endurance and muscle strength significantly impact the quality of life. Maintaining this function is essential to prevent disability, sarcopenia, frailty, and risk for metabolic disorders.  This study aimed to explore the relationship between walking distance, METs, and hand grip strength (HGS) in the community-retirement elderly population.  A total of 23 participants older adults from retirement community had measured body anthropometry, distance walking in 6 minutes, and hand grip strength. METS was calculated based on walking speed and body weight. Pearson correlation and linear regression were conducted to analyze the correlation. Hand grip strength was moderately correlated with walking distance (r=0,35) and weakly with METs (r=-0,18). Walking distance is negatively correlated with aged (r=-0.37) Regression indicated that age, weight, and HGS as walking distance performance variability. This was a preliminary study and finding that HGS as a predictor of mobility and functional endurance in elderly.

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is one of the primary risk factors for vascular disease, which can lead to an increase in the number of lipid profile tests. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is one of the signs of dyslipidemia and can be examined using the direct method (homogeneous) or the Friedewald formula. This examination method has its own advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to determine the difference in LDL cholesterol levels using the direct method and the Friedewald formula in dyslipidemia sufferers at Mardi Waluyo Hospital, Blitar City. The research design carried out is a cumulative analytical research with a cross survey approach. This study was conducted on 40 patients who underwent lipid profile examinations at the Laboratory of Mardi Waluyo Hospital, Blitar City. Blood samples that are examined and included in the dyslipidemia criteria are then checked for LDL cholesterol levels with the Friedewald formula. Based on the results of the study, the results ofthe statistical analysis of the Independent test sample t-test with a meaningfulness level of 95% (α = 0.05) were obtained by the LDL t statistic result (1.706) < t table 2.02439. There was no significant difference in the results of the LDL cholesterol examination of the direct method and Friedewald formula in people with dyslipidemia, For this reason, further research is needed to determine LDL cholesterol levels, both in the extract and with the Friedewald formula, using the gold standard method for LDL cholesterol examination in accordance with the recommendations of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) is ultracentrifugation as a comparison of LDL cholesterol research

Abstract

Prescriptions compounded are prescriptions that have the potential for drug’s interactions. Drug-drug interactions can occur pharmaceutically, pharmacokinetically, and pharmacodynamically. These interactions can cause a decrease in effectiveness, an increase in drug toxicity, resulting in the failure to achieve the expected therapeutic goals. The potential for drug-drug interactions can occur in both compounded and non-compounded prescriptions. Compounded prescriptions are often given to children to adjust the dosage as needed. This study aims to determine the potential for drug-drug interactions in compounded prescriptions at the Arbai Bandar Lor Pharmacy. This study is descriptive and non-experimental. Data collection was conducted retrospectively on compounded prescriptions from January to March 2024 that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Determining drug-drug interactions using the Drug Interaction Checker 2024 application Results and conclusions: Pharmaceutically, there were 2 unstable prescriptions (1.90%) and 103 compatible prescriptions (98.10%). The results of the analysis of potential drug-drug interactions were found in 21 prescriptions (20%). The mechanism of interaction was pharmacokinetic in 7 (46.67%) combinations and pharmacodynamic in 8 (53.33%) combinations, with a minor severity level in 4 (26.67%) cases and a moderate severity level in 11 (74.33%) cases, based on the Medscape Drug Interaction Checker reference.
