Abstract

According to the Indonesian Nutrition Status Study (SSGI) report, East Nusa Tenggara is the province with the highest stunting rate nationally in 2021. Therefore, the government seeks to monitor growth and development as well as the provision of good and timely vitamin A to toddlers and children, and in the context of preventing and overcoming stunting, the government simultaneously implements the weighing operation program in all posyandu in each puskesmas, namely in February and August. Posyandu is required to monitor children's growth and development through the weighing operation program. Sikumana Health Center is one of the health centers in Kupang City that conducts a weighing operation program, which is carried out at each posyandu in the Sikumana Health Center working area. The weighing operation is an important momentum for community participation to improve the health of toddlers and children by monitoring children's growth and development, including overcoming malnutrition of toddlers which causes an increased risk of stunting, disruption of physical growth, mental development and intelligence of children. In this weighing operation activity, vitamin A and deworming drugs are also given and must be attended by all toddlers in the Sikumana UPTD Puskesmas work area. If toddlers are not present at the Posyandu, sweeping will be carried out, namely the act of measuring the height and weight of toddlers and children at the house concerned or picking up toddlers and children from home to the posyandu. In this case, students of the doctor education program, Faculty of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine Undana actively participated in Operation Weighing. This is in line with field practice activities in the IKKOM course. This field practice coincided with the weighing operation schedule at the posyandu in the Sikumana area, which was held for 5 days. This activity was attended by students from February 6 to February 10, with several activities such as anthropometric examination, administration of vitamin A, filling out the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) questionnaire, introspective survey questionnaire, and checking blood sugar for the elderly, as well as distributing green bean porridge.

Abstract

Introduction: Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can develop into fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer. As a primary health service facility, the public health centre has an important role in handling Hepatitis B in pregnant women through the Maternal and Child Health program, including triple elimination screening and case management. Case Presentation: A 23-year-old female patient came to the public health centre for routine antenatal care examination (G1P0A0) with a gestational age of 30 weeks and 4 days. The patient had no complaints (asymptomatic), had a normoweight (20,46) body mass index, and had stable vital signs, normal systemic findings on physical examination and obstetric examination. But when a triple elimination examination was carried out by rapid diagnostic test, the result shown a reactive HBsAg. Then the patient was sent to another public health centre for further advance blood test, and the result shown that the woman was positive for hepatitis B with 2.16E08 IU/mL(log 8.33) viral load. The patient are given 1x300 mg Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment along with education by the doctor in charge for Hepatitis division to consume the drug until at least during childbirth, continued until 3 (three) month after delivery. Conclusion: Identification of pregnant women with Hepatitis B can be early detected by using the triple elimination rapid test (Hepatitis B, Syphilis, HIV) as a mandatory examination for pregnant women. Clinical symptoms for hepatitis B are vary, ranging from asymptomatic to symptomatic such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and malaise, loss of appetite, darker colour of urine, followed by jaundice that appears after 1–2 weeks. However, Hepatitis B in pregnancy is mostly asymptomatic.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a global health problem that causes millions of deaths every year. Treating diarrhea often involves the use of antibiotics, but antibiotic resistance is a serious problem. Cherry plants (Muntingia calabura L.) has been used traditionally to treatt infections . This research can provide new insights regarding the potential of using cherry plants as an alternative for treating bacterial infections without relying only on antibiotics. Objective: To determine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extracts from the cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) against the Escherichia coli growth. Methods: This research is using a true experimental method with a post-test only control group design. The bacteria used is Escherichia coli with 8 treatment groups, the positive control group using ciprofloxacin, the negative control group using sterile aquadest, and six concentrations of cherry leaf extract treatment groups. The data was analyse with One Way Anova test. Results and Discussion: Inhibition zones produced at the concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.125% measuring 15.39 mm ; 14.02 mm; 11.82 mm; 10.82 mm; 9.64 mm; 8.32 mm , indicating strong to moderate antibacterial effects. Conclusion: Ethanol extracts of cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) exhibit antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli in vitro. Keywords: Ethanol Extracts from Cherry Leaves, Antibacterial Activity, Escherichia coli, in vitro.

Abstract

Malaria remains a major public health problem in eastern Indonesia, and anemia is a frequent complication among infected individuals. Objective: To analyze the correlation between Plasmodium parasite density and anemia status among residents of Mau Bokul Village, East Sumba. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling and included 194 respondents. Malaria diagnosis was established through microscopic examination of Giemsa 3%–stained thick blood smears, while hemoglobin levels were measured using a digital device. The association between variables was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test (p < 0.05). The findings showed a malaria prevalence of 4.1% (8/194), while anemia was identified in 17.52% (43/194) of respondents. All malaria-positive individuals were anemic, with a mean hemoglobin level of 7 g/dL, and most were classified as having severe anemia. Spearman’s test revealed a significant negative correlation between parasite density and hemoglobin levels (r = –0.318; p < 0.001), indicating that increasing parasite density is associated with decreasing hemoglobin concentrations. Parasite density shows a positive correlation with anemia status, underscoring the need for strengthened malaria control and anemia management in endemic settings. Recommendations: Integrate routine Hb screening in malaria case management and reinforce vector control and chemoprevention strategies.
