Abstract

Glucose is an aldohexose monosaccharide found in the human body and other living things. It is the end product of carbohydrate metabolism that is released into the blood and becomes the main energy source of living things. Because of its role as the main energy, glucose is then transported into cells for generate energy. This energy formation process occurs in the mitochondria by requiring oxygen as fuel to produce ATP as energy for every cell activity. Blood glucose is influenced by factors of nutritional status, genetics and age, and disease. This study determine to differences in blood glucose levels measured using venous blood and capillary blood samples. This study used an analytical observational research design with a cross sectional approach. Observational research, which is to find differences between independent variables and dependent variables whose analysis is to determine whether there are differences between variables, so it is necessary to develop a hypothesis. Based on the results of the analysis of this study, it was found that from 25 respondents, the average value of capillary blood was 192.76, with a standard deviation of 56,302, with a min value of 111 and a max value of 288, with a p value of 0.007.

Abstract

Changes in the background needs and welfare of human life have led to a shift in modern lifestyle patterns. The growing population has resulted in increased work productivity, along with various types of work activities and a rise in complaints of symptoms like low back pain. Low back pain, or lower back pain, is a complaint where the pain can be local pain (inflammation) or radicular pain in the lower back. This pain can radiate to other areas, or the pain can be felt in the lower back, or it can be felt on a different side of the body from the center of the pain and can be felt in a variety of ways. Occupation is one of the factors causing LBP. Incorrect work postures, for example, sitting static for a long time and not using ergonomic sitting positions, are one of the factors in the occurrence of LBP (WHO, 2013). The purpose of this research is to find out if there is a comparison of the differences in the effect of motor control exercise and William flexion exercise on pain in myogenic low back pain patients at the Ambalat Sesko TNI Bandung clinic in 2023. The design in this study was a quasi-experiment with a control approach of two groups, pre-test and post-test, used to compare two independent groups, namely group I (motor control exercise) and group II (William flexion exercise). The research location was at the Ambalat clinic, Sesko TNI, with a total sample of 20 people. The research data was carried out using the normality test with the Shapiro-Wilk test. After the data was normally distributed, a hypothesis test was carried out using the independent paired sample t-test to obtain a p-value of 0.901 > (? = 0.05). The results of the analysis showed that the intervention of motor control exercise and William flexion exercise had the same effect on reducing pain, and there was no significant difference between giving myogenic low back pain at the Ambalat Sesko TNI Bandung clinic in 2023.

Abstract

Stroke remains a major global health concern, ranking as the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Among the common residual effects faced by stroke survivors is impaired walking balance. To address this issue, this study investigated the effectiveness of core stability exercises in improving walking balance, as measured by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The study involved 12 participants aged between 40 and 70 years and adopted a case study approach. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used. The dependent variable was walking balance in post-ischemic stroke patients, while the independent variable was the implementation of core stability exercises delivered through tele-physiotherapy.Statistical analysis using the Shapiro-Wilk test revealed a significant improvement in walking balance after the intervention. The results showed a pre-intervention mean TUG score of 17.500 (SD = 5.351) and a post-intervention mean of 12.333 (SD = 3.228), with a significance value of 0.000 (df = 12). These findings indicate a statistically significant difference in performance before and after the intervention. In conclusion, the null hypothesis (H?) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H?) is accepted, demonstrating that core stability exercises delivered via tele-physiotherapy significantly improve walking balance in post-ischemic stroke patients at Budhi Dharma Clinic, Kreshna Foundation.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in children. One of the most frequently cited definitions of CP is 'a group of permanent disorders in the development of movement and posture, which causes activity limitations, caused by non-progressive disorders that occur in the development of the fetal or infant brain'. Non-pharmacological approaches such as exercise therapy have been shown to be effective in overcoming the problems of children with cerebral palsy. One of the exercise interventions that has the potential to increase trunk stabilization is Treatment Trunk Stability Training. This technique works synergistically to target the trunk, improve gross motor function, trunk control, and balance, and will help better functional recovery in children with cerebral palsy. Objective: To determine the effect of Trunk Stability Training on Increasing Segmental Of Trunk Control Values ​​in Cerebral Palsy Patients. Methods: This study is a quantitative pre-experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest design. A total of 13 subjects diagnosed with cerebral palsy underwent a two-week intervention. Measurement of trunk stability or trunk control was performed using Segmental Of Trunk Control (SATCo). Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results of the Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that the data were not normally distributed (p <0.05). The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value = 0.016 (<0.05), which means that there was a significant difference between the Segmental Of Trunk Control (SATCo) scores before and after the intervention.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in children under five in Indonesia. Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) immunization is a preventive measure, yet coverage in Serdang Bedagai Regency remains low. Factors such as knowledge, education, occupation, attitude, belief, health service accessibility, and family support are suspected to influence PCV utilization. Research Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing PCV immunization utilization at Sei Rampah Health Center, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Research Methods: This research employed an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 900 mothers with children aged 11–12 months, and a sample of 262 mothers was selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and secondary data from PWS-KIA. Univariable, bivariate (Chi-square), and multivariable analyses (multiple logistic regression) were performed to identify the dominant factors. Results: Bivariate analysis indicated that education (p=0.002; OR=6.882), occupation (p=0.000; OR=6.088), and knowledge (p=0.000; OR=15.400) were significantly associated with PCV utilization. Multiple logistic regression revealed knowledge as the dominant factor (p=0.000; Exp(B)=13.063), followed by occupation, attitude, belief, and family support. Age, health service accessibility, and education did not show a significant effect. Conclusion: Parental knowledge is the key factor influencing PCV immunization utilization. Efforts to increase immunization coverage should focus on continuous education by health workers and family involvement to improve parents’ awareness and compliance with child immunization schedules.

Abstract

Microplastics and the extensive use of single-use plastics have become growing environmental issues that threaten human health and ecosystem sustainability. Limited environmental literacy among adolescents contributes to the continued high consumption of single-use plastics in school settings, highlighting the need for effective environmental education programs. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ environmental literacy regarding the dangers of microplastics and the importance of reducing single-use plastic use through an environmentally friendly school program at Al-Razi Sinar Harapan Vocational High School, Medan. The program involved 58 students and was implemented through interactive educational sessions, group discussions, simple demonstrations on plastic pollution, and campaigns promoting the use of reusable tumblers and food containers. Evaluation was conducted through participatory observation and assessment of students’ responses during discussions and question-and-answer sessions. The results indicated that participants were able to explain the concept of microplastics, identify common sources of plastic pollution within the school environment, and propose practical alternatives to reduce single-use plastic consumption, including the use of reusable containers, tumblers, and cloth bags. Increased participation during discussions, improved ability to answer questions related to the educational materials, and students’ expressed commitment to adopting environmentally friendly practices served as indicators of enhanced understanding and environmental awareness following the program. The activity also received positive feedback from teachers and school administrators and contributed to fostering a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable school environment.
