Abstract

Peripheral Arterial disease is a condition in which the peripheral arteries carrying blood to the extremities of the body, such as the feet and hands, become narrowed or blocked due to the large amount of atherosclerotic plaque. The effects of this disease include pain, cramps, difficulty walking, and decreased quality of life. Peripheral artery disease also increases the risk of serious complications such as poorly healing wounds, gangrene, infection and even amputation. In addition, peripheral artery disease can be a sign of more extensive blood vessel disease, such as coronary heart disease or stroke. Therefore, early attention, appropriate treatment, and healthy lifestyle changes are very important to reduce the negative effects of peripheral arterial disease. This community service activity was carried out at the Kalam Kudus Foundation on June 9, 2023. All participants received education and physical care related to peripheral vascular disease. The results of the physical examination revealed that there were 8 (15.4%) respondents with suspected peripheral arterial disease (ABI <0.9) and 4 (7.7%) respondents with suspected vascular calcification (ABI > 1.3). Community Education and Physical Examination with Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is an important activity in the prevention and management of peripheral arterial disease. Through community outreach, awareness about peripheral arterial disease can be increased, early symptoms can be identified, and preventive measures can be stepped up. Meanwhile, physical examination with ABI helps detect this disease early, allows timely intervention, and reduces the risk of serious complications. Through the combination of these two approaches, we can increase public understanding, reduce the risk of developing peripheral arterial disease, and improve the quality of life of individuals affected by this disease.

Abstract

Hypertension and kidney failure are two types of diseases related to kidney health. Hypertension or high blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys, while kidney failure is a condition in which the kidneys cannot function properly to build up metabolic waste and fluids from the body. Hypertension can cause damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys, so that the kidneys cannot excrete waste properly. As a result, harmful substances can accumulate in the body and cause organ damage. If hypertension cannot be controlled properly, it can cause kidney damage and eventually lead to kidney failure. Failure is a kidney condition in which the kidneys cannot function properly to remove metabolic wastes and fluids from the body. Kidney failure can occur for a variety of reasons, including untreated hypertension, diabetes, congenital kidney disease, and use of certain medications. If left untreated, kidney failure can lead to accumulation of waste in the body and serious complications such as anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease and even death. Treatment of hypertension and kidney failure usually involves medication and lifestyle changes. Treatment includes the use of drugs prescribed by a doctor and the management of complications that may occur. Lifestyle changes include managing a healthy diet, reducing salt and fat consumption, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and managing stress. Early detection is very important in the management of hypertension and kidney failure. Regular blood pressure checks, urine tests to detect protein in the urine, and blood tests to detect levels of creatinine, blood glucose, and cholesterol in the blood can help detect risks and early symptoms of kidney disease.

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) in women occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms infect parts of the urinary tract, such as the urethra, bladder, ureters, or kidneys. UTIs are more common in women due to the shorter anatomy of the female urethra and closer to the anal area, which allows bacteria to enter the urinary tract more easily. Community education and detection of urinary tract infections in female workers are important activities to increase awareness, prevention and early detection of this condition. Extension activities provide appropriate knowledge about the causes, symptoms, and steps to prevent UTIs. In addition, early detection through urine examination helps in finding UTI cases early and taking appropriate treatment measures. This activity brings long-term benefits, such as reducing work absenteeism and increasing productivity. By raising awareness and providing good understanding, women workers can take effective prevention measures. Community education and detection of UTIs in female workers is important for improving their health and quality of life, as well as reducing the burden that UTIs place on individuals and society as a whole.
