Abstract

Indonesia is one of the third highest developing countries in ASEAN with maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR). One of the three main causes of pregnancy-related maternal deaths is hypertension during pregnancy. It is very important to get rational antihypertensive therapy immediately in order to maintain normal blood pressure. This study aims to determine the profile of the use and rational use of antihypertensive drugs in preeclampsia and eclampsia patients in the Inpatient Room of Bandung Regency Hospital. The study was conducted observational with retrospective data collection. Samples were taken by random sampling which met the inclusion criteria for the period January-December 2021. The rationality of antihypertensive drug use is based on the 2019 American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists and PIONAS guidelines. There were 78 medical records that met the criteria. The characteristics of the majority of patients aged 21-35 years (64%) with a gestational age of 28-40 weeks (97%) and the antihypertensive drug therapy that was widely used was nifedipine (56%). The percentage of rational use of antihypertensive drugs showed the right indication (100%), the right drug (95%), the right dose (100%), and the right frequency (100%).

Abstract

Stunting is strongly associated with impaired immune function, as chronically malnourished children tend to have weaker immunity and are more vulnerable to infection. This study aimed to examine the effect of temulawak–black cumin herbal honey on the adaptive immune system in stunted children. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used. The findings showed that the intervention significantly increased height-for-age (TB/U) in the treatment group compared to the control group (p = 0.014). Weight-for-age (BB/U) also rose significantly within the treatment group (p = 0.013), but no significant difference was found relative to the control group (p = 0.192). The supplement significantly elevated IgM levels in the treatment group (p = 0.001), though again without a significant difference from the control (p = 0.546). CD4 concentration decreased in the treatment group (p = 0.003), but the change was not significantly different from the control (p = 0.682). In conclusion, temulawak–black cumin herbal honey can improve nutritional status and enhance adaptive immunity by increasing IgM levels, although it does not raise CD4 levels and instead slows CD4 decline. However, its effectiveness in increasing IgM and CD4 concentrations compared to controls is not significant.
