Abstract

Background & Objective  Patients with thalassaemia major with severe anaemia must receive blood transfusions for life. Giving continuous blood transfusions can cause iron accumulation in body tissues so that it can conclude complications, one of which is rheumatoid arthritis due to iron deposition in synovial tissue. This study is to determine the results of rheumatoid factor examination in thalassaemia patients with blood transfusion therapy. Method the research used is descriptive. The sampling technique uses incidental with a large number of samples as many as 66. Result Based on the results of the study obtained positive results as many as 11 (17%) people with an average Rheumatoid Factor level of 29 IU/mL, and negative results as many as 55 (83%) people. Conclusion Thalassaemia patients with blood transfusion therapy show the risk of rheumatoid arthritis with positive results of rheumatoid factor examination.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Hepatitis B can also be called a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B Virus (VHB). Health workers are at high risk of being infected with the Hepatitis B Virus, this is due to a lack of knowledge and skills such as the use of Personal Protective Equipment and not implementing health protocols which can cause exposure to the Hepatitis B Virus. This study aims to determine the description of the results of the Hepatitis B surface Antigen examination in Health Analyst Study Program Students of STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis.  Method: This study is a descriptive study with a purposive sampling technique conducted in May 2023. Respondents in this study were students of STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis as many as 38 respondents with measurements using the Sandwich method ELISA which then the results were processed manually and displayed in tabular format for narration. Result: The results of the Hepatitis B Surface Antigen examination showed that all respondents were 100% negative for Hepatitis B. Conclusion: The research that has been carried out, shows that all respondents, namely students of the Health Analyst Study Program at STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis, are not exposed to the Hepatitis B virus.

Abstract

Helminthiasis is still a problem in Indonesia, and worm infections often occur without symptoms, so the disease receives less attention. Identification can be done by several methods, one of which is by direct examination using 2% eosin dye. However, 2% eosin dye is included in synthetic dyes that can harm ul to health. The alternative used is to utilize natural ingredients. Red dragon fruit Hylocereus lemairei is a natural material that contains anthocyanin substances where in an acidic atmosphere anthocyanin substances provide a red colour so that it can be used as an alternative dye to replace eosin. The aim of this study was to determine the microscopic picture of worm egg preparations using alternative dyes of red dragon fruit peel extract. The research method used is an experimental method. The results showed that the red dragon fruit peel extract dye with a concentration variation of 2%, 5%, and 10% did not colour the worm eggs. So the red dragon fruit peel extract dye is still not optimal for use as an alternative dye for coloring worm eggs.

Abstract

Postpartum anemia remains a public health concern due to its potential impact on maternal and child health. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between maternal anemia status and anemia among stunted toddlers. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at Pustu Noelbaki. The study subjects were mothers and their stunted toddlers selected using purposive sampling. A total of 40 participants were included, consisting of 20 mothers and 20 stunted toddlers. Maternal and toddler anemia status were assessed and analyzed using statistical correlation testing with a significance level of p < 0,05. The results showed that 25% of mothers were anemic, while 55% of stunted toddlers had anemia. Statistical analysis demonstrated a p-value of 0,319 (p > 0,05), indicating no significant correlation between maternal anemia status and anemia among stunted toddlers. In conclusion, maternal anemia was not significantly associated with anemia in stunted toddlers in this study. Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to better understand potential contributing factors.

Abstract

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa that may be caused by various factors, including irregular dietary habits, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, psychological stress, alcohol consumption, and Helicobacter pylori infection, which is recognized as a major cause of chronic gastritis. In primary healthcare settings, identification of the underlying etiology of gastritis is often limited by the availability of diagnostic laboratory facilities. Therefore, serological detection of anti-Helicobacter pylori immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies may serve as an alternative diagnostic approach. This study aimed to determine the serological profile of anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibodies among patients with chronic gastritis attending the Baregbeg Community Health Center. A descriptive study was conducted involving 24 outpatients diagnosed with chronic gastritis who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were recruited using a total sampling technique. Serum samples were collected and analyzed using an immunochromatographic assay at the Baregbeg Community Health Center Laboratory between April and June 2025. All 24 participants (100%) tested negative for anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibodies. No serological evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection was detected among the study participants. In conclusion, no serological evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection was detected among chronic gastritis patients included in this study, with an observed Helicobacter pylori seropositivity rate of 0%.

Abstract

Background & Objectives: The prevalence of chronic kidney failure in Ciamis Regency based on medical records data from Ciamis Regional General Hospital in 2023 was 318 patients. Chronic kidney failure often causes complications, one of which is anemia. Reticulocyte examination in patients with chronic kidney failure can help diagnose complications such as anemia and determine the response to bone marrow. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of reticulocytes in patients with chronic kidney failure. Method: This research method is descriptive with purposive sampling technique. The respondents in this study were 39 people with chronic kidney failure at Ciamis Regional General Hospital.  This study was conducted at the Hematology Laboratory of STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis in May 2024. The examination technique was carried out using brilliant crystal blue solution staining and examined under a microscope. The examination results were compiled into tables and explained narratively. Results: The results of this examination showed that 34 people (87%) had normal reticulocyte counts and 5 people (13%) had above-normal reticulocyte counts. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the average reticulocyte count in patients with chronic kidney failure is normal.
