Abstract

Uric acid and Cholesterol cause inflammation accompanied deformity knees and legs. Health problems in the elderly come from declining body cells, so the function and body endurance decreased along with increased risk factors for diseases. Prevalence of uric acid in Asia regions the lowest Papua New Guinea 1% highest Marshall Islands 85% and Indonesia 18%. Uric acid is main factor predicting kidney failure. Objective: the aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of uric acid levels and cholesterol in the pre-elderly around liliba RT 41/RW001. Method: This type of research is descriptive, the number of respondents who are willing to participate in this study is 55 people by signing an informed consent. The data were obtained by examining cholesterol levels using the POCT method, as well as consumption patterns and physical activity which were measured using a questionnaire. Results: The results showed that Cholesterol levels that consumed high-fat foods were found more in respondents who often consumed fatty foods with normal cholesterol levels of 18 people (32.7%), a high threshold of 10 people (18.2%), and high cholesterol levels of 8 people (14.5%) ). Cholesterol levels who rarely consumed meat with high cholesterol were 9 people (16.4%), and high-limit cholesterol levels were 11 people (20.0%). Cholesterol levels of respondents who had sleep duration of 6-8 hours with high cholesterol levels were 6 people (10.9%), normal cholesterol levels were 15 people (27.3%), and high limit cholesterol levels were 9 people (16.4%).

Abstract

This research investigates community perceptions of climate change and its implications for environmental health in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA) through a quantitative analysis of 150 participants. The study assesses awareness levels, attitudes, and adaptive measures, employing a regression analysis to identify factors influencing climate change awareness. Results reveal a generally high level of awareness, with specific concerns about air and water quality, vector-borne diseases, and perceived threats to overall well-being. The community actively engages in adaptive measures, expressing a desire for increased governmental involvement. The regression analysis highlights age, educational background, and socio-economic status as significant predictors of climate change awareness. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, emphasizing the importance of targeted educational campaigns, community engagement initiatives, and addressing awareness disparities to enhance climate resilience in urban settings.

Abstract

Tuberkulosis (TB) merupakan penyakit yang dapat menimbulkan terjadinya penurunan berat badan pada penderitanya karena proses infeksi yang terjadi, pengobatan TB sebagai solusi untuk menyembuhkan pasien TB juga sering dilaporkan menimbulkan efek samping seperti mual dan berkurangnya nafsu makan hal tersebut akan menyebabkan terjadinya malnutrisi yang dapat mempengaruhi kesembuhan pasien TB, total protein dan albumin serum merupakan parameter biokimia yang dapat menggambarkan status nutrisi seseorang dan baik digunakan untuk mendeteksi adanya malnutrisi pada pasien TB. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara fase pengobatan dan IMT dengan kadar total protein dan albumin serum pada penderita TB di Kabupaten Kupang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan studi potong lintang, sampel yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 132 pasien TB denagn kriteria berusia >17 tahun, sedang dalam pengobatan lini pertama dan tidak memiliki comorbid, pemeriksaan kadar total protein metode biuret dan albumin metode bromocresol hijau menggunakan instrument photometer 5010. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara fase pengobatan dan IMT dengan kadar total protein (sig 1.000); Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara fase pengobatan dengan kadar albumin (sig 0.022) dan IMT dengan kadar albumin (sig 0.000) pada pasien TB di Kabupaten Kupang. Perlu adanya asupan nutrisi yang cukup selama pengobatan pada pasien TB untuk membantu peningkatan kadar albumin serta meningkatkan peluang keberhasilan pengobatan.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a parasitic infestation caused by the head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis (PHC). These lice feed on human blood on the head. Head lice infestations most commonly occur among preschool and primary school children, as well as household members and caregivers. This study was conducted to provide an overview of the evidence regarding the prevalence of Pediculosis capitis among primary school students in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Pediculosis capitis and identify risk factors influencing its occurrence among primary school students in Kupang Regency. The study was conducted in primary schools in Kupang Regency during the 2023-2024 academic year. To identify cases of pediculosis, the presence of eggs/nymphs/adult Pediculus humanus capitis was detected using a lice comb. Clinical symptoms and signs were collected through interviews using a questionnaire and direct observation of clinical signs. A total of 278 children participated in the study, consisting of 164 boys (59%) and 114 girls (41%). Pediculosis cases were found in 151 children (54,3%). Characteristics of children influencing the occurrence of pediculosis include hair length and the number of family members living in the same household. Reported symptoms associated with pediculosis cases included dandruff, scalp itching, redness, difficulty sleeping, and poor concentration. Behaviours of primary school children related to the transmission of pediculosis include sleeping with an infected person, sharing hats, sharing combs at home, frequency of using a lice comb, and frequency of washing hair per week.

Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem experienced by adolescent girls, especially due to blood loss during menstruation which causes a decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) levels. Hemoglobin is an important protein in red blood cells that functions to transport oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues. Lack of hemoglobin can disrupt body function and potentially cause the risk of ongoing mental complications. This study aims to identify differences in hemoglobin (Hb) levels before (pre) and after (post) menstruation among female students of the Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program at Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of 30 female students who were taken using random sampling techniques. Hemoglobin levels were measured twice, namely on the first day of menstruation and after the last day of menstruation, using a POCT (Point of Care Testing) tool that provides fast and practical results. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test because the data obtained were not normally distributed. The results of the study showed a significant decrease in hemoglobin levels after menstruation. Before menstruation, the average Hb level was recorded at 12,847 g/dL, while after menstruation it decreased to 11,273 g/dL. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significance value of 0,000 (p<0,05), which indicated a significant difference between hemoglobin levels before and after menstruation.
