Abstract

Malaria remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in regions with high endemicity such as Papua and East Nusa Tenggara. According to the 2010 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the national malaria prevalence was 0.6%, with the highest rates recorded in West Papua (10.6%), Papua (10.1%), and East Nusa Tenggara (4.4%). In 2023, Papua continued to be identified as a region with high endemicity, while West Nusa Tenggara was classified as having low endemicity. Severe malaria, including cerebral malaria, is a serious complication characterized by central nervous system dysfunction, such as decline consciousness, seizures, and neurocognitive impairment, as well as systemic complications such as anemia, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and hepatosplenomegaly. Management of severe malaria requires the administration of antimalarial injections, such as intravenous artesunate as the first line therapy or quinine drip if artesunate is unavailable, performed in healthcare facilities equipped with inpatient care and intensive monitoring. This procedure involves close monitoring of blood pressure, temperature, blood glucose levels, and organ function to prevent further complications. The prognosis of cerebral malaria patients depends on the timeliness of diagnosis and proper management, while comprehensive care can improve recovery rates and reduce long-term risks. Preventive efforts through strengthening healthcare facilities in endemic areas and increasing public awareness is crucial to reduce the incidence of severe malaria and its adverse effects.

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a condition characterized by abnormal lipid levels in the blood, including total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides. This condition can lead to complications such as cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of herbal plants from the Sasak tribe, as recorded in Lontar Usada, for managing dyslipidemia. Lontar Usada documents various medicinal plants that are traditionally used by the Sasak people, making it essential to investigate their active compounds and how they influence lipid profiles. This research employs a qualitative approach, focusing on a literature review and analysis of the plants mentioned in Lontar Usada, followed by a biochemical evaluation of their active compounds and mechanisms in regulating lipid metabolism. The findings reveal that several plants listed in Lontar Usada contain bioactive compounds with potential lipid-lowering effects, supporting their traditional use in managing dyslipidemia. In conclusion, the study confirms that the plants from Lontar Usada could offer a natural alternative for dyslipidemia management, aligning with the high cultural acceptance and availability of these plants within the Sasak community.

Abstract

Gastric lymphoma is the second most common finding in gastric malignancies worldwide. Gastric lymphoma is a lymphoproliferative disorder that originates in the stomach and encompasses various histological findings. In cases of gastric lymphoma, the most frequently diagnosed types are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. There is a known association between Helicobacter pylori infection and genetic mutations with the occurrence of gastrointestinal lymphoma. Treatment options for gastric lymphoma include observation, antibiotic therapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. The therapy provided can be either monotherapy or a combination of treatments.

Abstract

Stunting is a condition characterized by a child's height or length being below the predicted range for their age, defined by a z-score of ≤2 SD in accordance with WHO child growth criteria. Stunted children suffer from growth retardation caused by malnutrition resulting from inadequate dietary practices or frequent illnesses. SSGI data indicates that East Lombok Regency holds the third highest stunting rates in the NTB province. The knowledge possessed by caregivers correlates with the prevalence of stunting. This study seeks to ascertain the disparity in knowledge between households with stunted children and those with non-stunted children in Labuhan Haji Village, East Lombok. This study is an analytical observational research employing a cross-sectional methodology. 120 participants were chosen using sequential sampling for the data collection. Families with and without stunted children's knowledge of stunting was compared using the Kruskal-Wallis H test on SPSS. The study's findings indicate that families in Labuhan Haji Village, East Lombok, with stunted children and those without do not significantly differ in their understanding of stunting.
