Abstract

This community service program aimed to educate adolescent girls in Dusun Gembleb, Trenggalek, on the benefits of red ginger (Zingiber officinale) as a natural remedy for alleviating menstrual pain. Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhea, is a common health issue affecting a significant number of adolescent girls, often leading to disruption in daily activities. While conventional pain relief medications are commonly used, their long-term side effects can be detrimental. Red ginger, known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, offers a safer alternative. The program, held on May 3, 2025, at the Gembleb Village Office, included educational sessions on the medicinal properties of red ginger, practical demonstrations on how to prepare red ginger tea, and discussions on its health benefits. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding of red ginger's therapeutic effects, as evidenced by pre-test and post-test comparisons. This initiative successfully raised awareness about alternative treatments and empowered the community to utilize locally available resources for health improvement.

Abstract

Penyakit degeneratif semakin banyak terjadi akibat penurunan gaya hidup makanan dan olahraga. Penyakit tidak menular merupakan penyakit degeneratif yang berkaitan dengan proses penuaan, seperti diabetes mellitus, hipertensi, penyakit jantung, dan stroke. Banyak dari masyarakat yang tidak menyadari akan perlunya memeriksakan kesehatan lebih rutin dan mengatur gaya hidup yang baik. Pemeriksaan kesehatan dan pengobatan gratis merupakan bentuk pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Pemeriksaan kesehatan dan pengobatan gratis bertujuan agar masyarakat semakin sadar akan perlunya memeriksakan diri dan mengatur gaya hidup yang baik, sehingga dapat menjaga kondisi kesehatan diri sendiri dan keluarga terutama lansia. Pemeriksaan kesehatan dan pengobatan gratis dilakukan kepada 43 warga desa di wilayah Universitas Kadiri yang berupa pengecekan gula darah acak, asam urat, dan kolesterol, pemeriksaan lanjutan oleh dokter, pemberian obat, dan edukasi kesehatan. Kegiatan ini disambut dengan baik oleh warga maupun perangkat desa setempat. Kegiatan ini juga dapat mengurangi beban biaya masyarakat untuk berobat, serta memberikan akses yang lebih mudah dan terjangkau terhadap layanan kesehatan yang penting bagi kesejahteraan mereka. Diharapkan melalui kegiatan ini kesadaran masyarakat khususnya lansia dapat meningkat, sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup dan derajat kesehatan yang optimal.

Abstract

Diseases caused by oxidative stress and inflammation are global health problems that encourage the search for alternative treatments from natural materials. Grapevine leaves (Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr.) have long been empirically used, but scientific validation of their potential is still limited. The objective of this research is to identify and describe the active substances in sambung nyawa leaves and assess their effectiveness as natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. The study involves conducting laboratory experiments, starting with the extraction of sambung nyawa leaves using 96% ethanol solvent through a maceration process. The extract obtained is then analysed for its phytochemical composition. The antioxidant activity is evaluated using the DPPH method to determine the IC₅₀ value. On the other hand, the anti-inflammatory properties are tested in male Wistar rats following the induction of rat hind paw edema with 1% carrageenan, using extract doses of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kgBW. The findings indicate a 13.4% yield from the extraction process. The phytochemical analysis reveals the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenols, and steroids/triterpenoids. The antioxidant test results show a moderate level of activity with an IC₅₀ value of 89.26 µg/mL. In the anti-inflammatory test, the 150 mg/kgBW dose demonstrates the highest efficacy with a 52.00% reduction in edema, comparable to the positive control triamcinolone (55.00%). In summary, the ethanol extract of sambung nyawa leaves exhibits promising potential as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, indicating its suitability for further development as a botanical pharmaceutical ingredient.

Abstract

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, often requiring intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. Patients with CVA are at high risk for secondary infections, which commonly lead to the use of antibiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the patterns and rationality of antibiotic use in CVA patients treated in the ICU of a regional hospital using the Gyssens method. A retrospective observational study was conducted involving 30 CVA patients who received antibiotics during their ICU stay. Data collected included patient demographics, comorbidities, types of antibiotics used, route of administration, combination patterns, and evaluation of prescription rationality based on the Gyssens criteria. The most frequently used antibiotic class was third-generation cephalosporins (60%), with ceftriaxone being the most prescribed (46.7%). All antibiotics were administered intravenously. Combination therapy was used in 20% of cases. Based on Gyssens categorization, only 33.3% of prescriptions were considered rational (category 0). The remaining 66.7% were irrational, including delayed initiation or discontinuation (13.3%), incorrect dosing (16.7%), unnecessarily broad-spectrum (10%), and no indication (6.7%). The study highlights a substantial proportion of irrational antibiotic use in ICU CVA patients, mainly due to suboptimal timing, dosing errors, and unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotics. These findings underline the importance of antimicrobial stewardship and routine rationality assessments to ensure optimal antibiotic use and patient outcomes.
