Abstract

Highlights 1. VCO can accelerate AFB sputum conversion in tuberculosis infection. 2. VCO can decrease SOD levels as a marker of inflammation.   Abstract Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis has the potential to raise illness and death rates on a global scale significantly. A low sputum conversion rate for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) and malnutrition are indicators of failure in pulmonary TB treatment. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) contains lauric acid and has antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of VCO supplementation on sputum AFB conversion rates, superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and body mass index (BMI) status of pulmonary TB patients. Material and Methods: This study was an analytic experimental study measuring BMI levels and SOD levels at the Pekauman Community Health Center, Sultan Suriansyah Hospital, and Ulin Hospital, Banjarmasin, Indonesia, between July and September 2023. This study, 40 samples were separated into two groups: the treatment group, which received first-line antithyroid drugs (ATD) with VCO, and the control group, which received first-line ATD and a placebo. Results: Based on the proportion, there was an improvement in the acceleration of BTA sputum conversion, and from the mean BMI and the median value of both groups, there was a decrease in SOD levels after VCO administration. No statistically significant association was found between VCO administration and accelerating the AFB sputum conversion and BMI at the end of the fourth and eighth weeks (p>0.05). Additionally, there was no relationship considered between VCO administration and reducing SOD levels before and after treatment (p>0.05). Conclusion: VCO administration had no relationship with the level of AFB sputum conversion, reduction in SOD levels, and BMI status in pulmonary TB patients.

Abstract

Aim: This paper assesses the degree of knowledge regarding the allocation of property management assets upon death in the Klang Valley region of Malaysia. The researcher hopes to identify the root causes of the public’s difficulties with the three estate and property distribution methods recognized by Sharia law: the afraid, the wasiat, and the hibah.Method: Four (4) estate management agencies in Malaysia (Majlis Agama Islam Selangor [MAIS]), As-Salihin Trustee Berhad [ASTB], Amanah Raya Berhad [ARB], and Wasiyyah Shoppe Sdn. Bhd.) were interviewed for this study to collect primary data.Findings: The findings of this study indicate that the procedure of dividing property through inheritance was not carried out because of a lack of understanding regarding inheritance in the community and a lack of knowledge regarding the inheritance of a property that occurred. Problems as large as those affecting the global economy can be exacerbated by a cascade of cases that increase and indirectly withhold assets. To ensure future social and economic relations and to prevent further complexity and confusion in estate management, it is evident that a mechanism must be put into place.Implications/Novel Contribution: Similar to "grant" (donation) and facts in Malaysia, the research is significant because it provides a level of public understanding and information about property management in the event of death.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of omega-3 supplementation on sputum conversion, body mass index (BMI), interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is a significant health problem in Indonesia, with high incidence and mortality rates. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to have anti-inflammatory effects and may enhance the immune response, potentially supporting tuberculosis (TB) therapy. The research methods included bacteriological examination of the sputum, measurement of BMI, IL-6 levels, and MLR in patients who received additional Omega-3 compared to the control group. The results are expected to provide an overview of the effectiveness of Omega-3 as a supportive therapy in treating TB, as well as its contribution to improving patients' nutritional status and immune response. This research is expected to serve as a reference for developing more effective and affordable tuberculosis therapies.
