Introduction: Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a crucial issue in the medical laboratory environment, considering the potential for exposure to various biological and chemical risks. The proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the main pillars in mitigating this risk. Understanding the medicolegal implications related to the use of PPE is an important aspect that can influence laboratory staff compliance. This study aims to examine the relationship between understanding medicolegal implications and compliance with the use of PPE among laboratory staff at Indriati Boyolali Hospital. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional observational design. The sample consisted of 120 laboratory staff at Indriati Boyolali Hospital who were selected randomly. Data was collected through structured questionnaires to measure the level of understanding of medicolegal implications and direct observation to assess compliance with PPE use. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistical tests (chi-square test and logistic regression). Results: The research results showed that there was a significant relationship between understanding medicolegal implications and compliance with PPE use (p < 0.05). Laboratory staff with a better understanding of medicolegal implications tend to demonstrate higher levels of compliance in the use of PPE. Other factors such as age, gender, and work experience were also found to influence compliance with PPE use. Conclusion: Understanding medicolegal implications is an important factor that contributes to compliance with the use of PPE among laboratory staff. Comprehensive educational interventions regarding medicolegal aspects of OSH can increase the understanding and awareness of laboratory staff, thereby contributing to improving occupational safety and health in the laboratory environment.

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a pervasive public health challenge, affecting over one-third of adolescent girls in Indonesia. While the hematological consequences are known, there is a critical lack of high-quality trial data on the functional impact—including cognition and educational outcomes—in this specific population. Methods: We conducted a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group randomized controlled trial in Klaten, Indonesia. We enrolled 200 anemic (Hemoglobin [Hb] < 12 g/dL) female senior high school students, aged 15-18. Participants were randomized (1:1) to receive either 60 mg of elemental iron (as ferrous sulfate) or an identical placebo, taken daily. Primary outcomes were the change in Hb (hematological) and cognitive processing speed (functional), measured by the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Secondary outcomes included anemia prevalence, serum ferritin, academic achievement (change in school-recorded grades), and school absenteeism (days missed). Results: At 12 weeks, the iron group demonstrated a significantly greater increase in mean Hb compared to the placebo group (2.7 g/dL vs. 1.4 g/dL; mean difference: 1.3 g/dL, 95% CI: 0.9-1.7, p < 0.001). Anemia prevalence was halved (20% vs. 40%, p = 0.02). Functionally, the iron group showed a marked improvement in DSST scores (mean change: +8.5 vs. +2.1; mean difference: 6.4, 95% CI: 4.1-8.7, p < 0.001), a significant improvement in academic grades (mean difference: +1.6 points, 95% CI: 0.5-2.7, p = 0.005), and a 61% reduction in mean days of school missed (1.2 vs. 3.1 days; mean difference: -1.9 days, 95% CI: -2.8 to -1.0, p < 0.001). Adverse events were mild and not significantly different between groups. Conclusion: Daily iron supplementation in anemic adolescents robustly improves hematological status and, critically, translates these gains into significant, tangible improvements in cognitive function, academic performance, and school attendance. These findings provide strong, multi-domain evidence to support the scaling of public health anemia interventions.

Introduction: Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, with variations in subtypes and risk factors observed across populations. The role of cholesterol in stroke, particularly its association with ischemic and hemorrhagic subtypes, continues to be investigated. This study aimed to examine the relationship between cholesterol levels and stroke outcomes in a Central Javanese population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at hospitals in Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected from medical records of patients diagnosed with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke between January and December 2022. Demographic information, stroke subtype, and cholesterol levels were analyzed. Statistical tests were employed to assess the association between cholesterol and stroke outcomes. Results: The study included 68 patients (34 ischemic, 34 hemorrhagic). The majority of hemorrhagic stroke patients were female (52.9%), while ischemic stroke patients were predominantly male (64.7%). The mean cholesterol level for hemorrhagic stroke patients was 202.59 mg/dL, and for ischemic stroke patients, it was 190.26 mg/dL. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between cholesterol levels and stroke subtype (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that cholesterol levels may not be a primary determinant of stroke subtype in this Central Javanese population. Further research is warranted to explore other potential risk factors and their interplay with cholesterol in influencing stroke outcomes.

Background: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a hematological test used to detect inflammatory processes and blood disorders. ESR values can be influenced by the type of anticoagulant used. Objective: To compare ESR values in venous blood samples using EDTA and 3.8% sodium citrate anticoagulants with the Westergren method modified by the addition of 0.86% NaCl. Methods: This study employed an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design, conducted at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Politeknik Indonusa Surakarta. A total of 32 venous blood samples were examined using both anticoagulants. Data were analyzed statistically using the Mann–Whitney test. Results: The mean ESR value in samples with EDTA anticoagulant was 18.3 mm/h, while that in samples with 3.8% sodium citrate was 13.1 mm/h. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.014 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. This difference may be attributed to the chemical properties and osmolarity of each anticoagulant, which affect erythrocyte rouleaux formation. Conclusions: The type of anticoagulant significantly affects ESR results. 3.8% sodium citrate remains the preferred anticoagulant for the Westergren method according to standard protocols, without the addition of 0.86% NaCl dilution
