Abstract

Breakfast is an essential daily meal that plays a key role in supporting both metabolic and cognitive functions. Glucose, as the brain’s primary energy source, is crucial for maintaining attention, memory, and executive function through neuronal activity and neurotransmitter regulation. This review aims to explore how breakfast consumption influences cognitive attention through mechanisms related to glucose metabolism. A narrative review approach was employed, drawing on literature from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar published between 2015 and 2026. The findings indicate that eating breakfast helps restore and stabilize blood glucose levels after an overnight fast, thereby supporting cognitive performance—particularly in children and young adults. In addition, the quality and nutritional composition of breakfast, especially meals with a low glycemic index, contribute to more stable glucose levels and sustained cognitive function. In contrast, skipping breakfast has been associated with reduced attention and poorer mental performance. Overall, maintaining a regular and well-balanced breakfast appears to be an important factor in supporting cognitive function through effective glucose regulation, with meaningful implications for brain health and cognitive performance.

Abstract

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely consumed food additive that has been reported to increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), potentially inducing damage to various organs, including the testes. Oxidative stress in the testes may impair histological structure and disrupt the process of spermatogenesis. Antioxidants have been shown to attenuate the harmful effects of free radicals, and kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is recognized as a rich source of natural antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of kiwifruit extract on testicular weight and histopathological characteristics in male Sprague Dawley rats exposed to MSG for 30 days. This experimental study used 25 male Sprague Dawley rats randomly assigned into five groups (n = 5 per group): negative control (K−), positive control receiving MSG at 4.8 g/kg body weight/day (K+), MSG plus vitamin C at 0.2 g/kg body weight/day (P1), MSG plus kiwifruit extract at 0.2 g/kg body weight/day (P2), and MSG plus kiwifruit extract at 0.4 g/kg body weight/day (P3). All treatments were administered for 30 consecutive days. Histopathological evaluation of the testes was performed on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections to assess the seminiferous tubule germinal epithelium, while testicular weight was measured at the end of the experiment. Data were presented descriptively as mean ± standard deviation. Histopathological examination demonstrated improved seminiferous tubule germinal epithelium in the P2 and P3 groups compared with the MSG-treated group (K+). The lowest mean testicular weight was observed in the P3 group (0.66 ± 0.31 g), compared with the K+ group (1.07 ± 0.28 g) and the negative control group (0.95 ± 0.30 g). Administration of kiwifruit extract tended to improve the histopathological appearance of the testes in male rats exposed to MSG, particularly in the P3 group, suggesting a potential protective effect against oxidative stress-induced testicular damage. However, the findings regarding changes in testicular weight remain descriptive and require confirmation through inferential statistical analysis.

Abstract

The level of reproductive health knowledge affects the incidence of reproductive health problems in adolescents in Indonesia. Based on data from SDKI (2017), it shows that adolescents' understanding of reproductive health is still in the moderate category, which is 67.9% for female adolescents and 61.2% for male adolescents, which can be influenced by the supervision system and regulations in the school environment. The study was quantitative in nature with an observational analytic design using a cross sectional study form. Samples were taken using stratified random sampling technique on adolescents aged 15-18 years who were actively attending MAN 2 Kota Serang and MA Ibad Ar-Rahman Islamic Boarding School. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate analysis techniques using the chi-square test. There were 54 (56.3%) of the total 96 respondents who had a good level of knowledge. The percentage of boarding school students with a good level of reproductive health knowledge was 68.1% while non-boarding school students were 44.9% in the same knowledge level group. Based on the results of statistical tests using the chi-square test, a significant relationship was found with a p-value of 0.040. This study indicate that the type of school affects the level of reproductive health knowledge in adolescents, where the level of reproductive health knowledge of adolescents from non-boarding schools is better than that of adolescents from boarding schools.

Abstract

Cardiac arrest causes global ischemia followed by reperfusion injury, resulting in diffuse myocardial damage and cardiac troponin release. This condition is commonly associated with type 2 myocardial injury caused by an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand rather than acute coronary occlusion. This article summarizes evidence on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of type 2 myocardial injury and troponin release after cardiac arrest. A narrative literature review was conducted using articles published between 2015 and 2025 from PubMed and Google Scholar. The findings indicate that ischemia causes ATP depletion, ionic imbalance, intracellular calcium overload, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Reperfusion further aggravates myocardial injury through reactive oxygen species generation, inflammasome activation, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, apoptosis, and pyroptosis. These processes impair cardiomyocyte membrane integrity and cause structural damage, leading to troponin release. Troponin elevation may reflect reversible membrane permeability changes or irreversible cardiomyocyte injury. Therefore, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin levels should be interpreted according to pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical context to distinguish type 2 myocardial injury from myocardial infarction caused by acute coronary occlusion.

Abstract

Inadequate care after circumcision care may increase the risk of complications and infection in children. This community service activity aimed to provide education to parents regarding wound care and medication administration following circumcision in Cipare District. The activity involved 40 children aged 3–8 years who had undergone circumcision, accompanied by their parents or caregivers. Some participants had medical conditions, including phimosis, balanitis, and a history of urinary tract infections. Individual education was provided to parents or caregivers after the children had completed the circumcision procedure through direct explanations, wound care demonstrations, medication administration simulations, and distribution of written guidelines. The educational materials covered wound care and hygiene, dressing changes, use of antiseptics, administration of medications according to clinical indications, and recognition of signs of infection and complications requiring medical attention. The medications provided included ibuprofen as an analgesic and amoxicillin as an antibiotic according to clinical indications. This activity provided parents with practical guidance on post-circumcision care and appropriate medication use at home. Individual education as part of community-based circumcision services may support family involvement in post-procedural care and serve as a promotive and preventive health effort to support wound healing and prevent complications in children.

Abstract. Nutritional problems and low levels of healthy food literacy remain significant challenges in rural communities. The utilization of functional foods derived from locally available ingredients represents a strategic approach to improving community health quality. This community engagement program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of residents—particularly housewives and adolescents—through education and hands-on training in the production of banana–sappan wood yogurt as a nutrient-dense functional food alternative. The program was conducted on January 10, 2026, in Pabuaran Village, Serang Regency, using an educational and participatory approach. Activities included the delivery of educational materials on functional foods and the health benefits of probiotics, as well as a practical demonstration of yogurt preparation. Program evaluation was carried out through observation of participant engagement and interactive discussions. The results indicated that participants were able to successfully follow all stages of yogurt production and demonstrated high enthusiasm for the use of local ingredients as healthy food alternatives. The resulting product exhibited acceptable sensory characteristics and an appealing appearance. This activity contributed to improved nutritional literacy and food processing skills and demonstrated potential to support household-level food self-reliance.
