Abstract

This literature review examines the potential use of earthworm extract (Pheretima javanica K) as an alternative treatment for typhus disease. The study analyzes multiple research findings regarding the antibacterial properties of earthworm extracts against Salmonella typhi, the causative agent of typhus. Through a comprehensive review of studies from Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, this research evaluates the effectiveness of different earthworm species and extraction methods. The findings indicate that Pheretima javanica shows promising antimicrobial properties, particularly when extracted with ethanol, while other species such as Lumbricus rubellus demonstrate limited effectiveness. Pheretima javanica shows promise, other species like Lumbricus rubellus demonstrate limited or no significant antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi. The success of treatment appears to be heavily dependent on factors such as extraction technique, concentration, and testing methodology. Animal studies, particularly those using white rats, have shown encouraging results with specific dosages, but human trials remain necessary to establish clinical efficacy and safety. The varying results across different studies emphasize the need for standardized extraction methods and testing protocols to ensure consistent outcomes.

Abstract

Aging is a natural process that causes significant changes in many aspects of life, including physical and psychological aspects. As older people age, they often experience a decline in physical function, which can lead to reduced mobility and an increased risk of various chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis. One way to improve the quality of life of the elderly is through exercise. Regular exercise can help maintain or improve the physical and mental health of the elderly, improve sleep quality, and reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, the elderly often face various barriers to exercise, such as physical limitations, fear of injury, and lack of elderly-friendly sports facilities. Therefore, it is important to explore the challenges faced by the elderly when exercising and how to overcome these barriers. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study in Panimbang District, Banten, involving 15 elderly and 8 health workers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and observations of elderly sports activities. The results showed that despite various challenges, elderly who exercise regularly reported significant physical and mental benefits, such as reduced joint pain, increased mobility, and reduced stress and improved sleep quality. It was also found that health workers face challenges in providing specific training on exercise for the elderly and managing the risk of injury. However, they acknowledge the benefits of exercise in improving public health, reducing chronic diseases, and increasing patient satisfaction. It is recommended that the government and related institutions pay attention to providing elderly-friendly sports facilities and provide training for health workers so that exercise programs can be implemented safely and effectively.
